         This Agreement is made as of the 8th day of December, 1998, between THE
HAVANA GROUP,  INC., an Delaware  Corporation with its principal offices at 4450
Belden Village Street,  N.W., Suite 406, Canton,  Ohio 44718 (the "Company") and
Gary J. Corbett residing at 106 Scateswood Drive,  Martin,  Tennessee 38237 (the
"Executive").

                                    AGREEMENT

         In  consideration  of the  mutual  agreements  set  forth  herein,  the
parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

     1. Employment.

     (A)  Position.  Executive  hereby  accepts  employment  by the  company  as
President.  Executive  warrants that he has not signed any other agreement which
would restrict in any way his ability to accept this position.

     (B)  Performance.  Executive  agrees to devote his full time,  energies and
attention to the performance of his duties and functions hereunder,  to exercise
his best efforts,  judgment, skills, and talents exclusively in the business and
affairs of the  Company  and,  in the  performance  thereof,  to comply with the
policies of and be subject to the  direction  of the Board of  Directors  of the
Company. 

     (C)  Responsibilities.  Executive  shall  be  responsible  for  the  duties
assigned to him by the Board of Directors  and shall be subject to and report to
the Board of  Directors.  Executive is engaged to act as the President and shall
perform all of the usual duties  inherent in such position as well as such other
duties as may from time to time be delegated to him by the Board of Directors.

     2. Compensation.

     (A) Base Salary.  The Company agrees to pay Executive and Executive  agrees
to accept as  compensation  for all of his  services,  a base salary  payable in
accordance  with the  Company's  standard  payroll  policy at the annual rate of
$80,000.  The Board of Directors or the  Compensation  Committee of the Board of
Directors shall review the Executive's  performance on an annual basis. 

     (B) Bonuses.  In addition to a base salary, the Executive shall be eligible
to receive  bonuses as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company based
upon the  performance  of the  Executive  and the overall  profitability  of the
Company. 

     (C) Signing Bonus. The parties acknowledge that the Executive currently has
a position that would  entitle him to a performance  bonus for the year 1998. If
the Executive  should not receive that  performance  bonus solely because of his
accepting the position with the Company, the Company will pay a signing bonus to
the  Executive of $22,000 upon  verification  by the  Executive  that he did not
receive the performance bonus from his current employer.

     3.  Expenses.  The  company  shall pay or  reimburse  Executive  during his
employment  hereunder for all  reasonable  travel and othe expenses  incurred by
Executive  in the  performance  of his duties  and  obligations  hereunder  upon
submission of appropriate  supporting  documentation.  In addition,  the Company
will reimburse the Executive for reasonable  relocation  expenses to Ohio. Where
possible,  the  Executive  agrees  to obtain  competitive  bids for  moving  and
relocation expenses.

     4. Benefit Plans.  Executive shall be entitled to participate in all of the
Company sponsored employee benefit plans for which he may be eligible.

     5. Vacation.  Executive shall be entitled to three weeks of vacation during
each twelve-month period of his employment hereunder.

     6. Stock  Options.  The Company  hereby  grants the Executive the option to
purchase  80,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock (the Option).  The common
stock and options are currently not registered and any shares  purchased will be
restricted. The options will be exercisable as follows:


<PAGE>
     (A) An option to purchase  20,000  shares of Common Stock thirty days after
the Executive begins his employment and will vest on that date. The option price
will be the market value of the shares at the time of vesting.  

     (B) An option to  purchase  an  additional  20,000  shares will vest on the
first  anniversary  date of this Agreement.  

     (C) An option to  purchase  an  additional  20,000  shares will vest on the
second  anniversary date of this Agreement.  

     (D) The  final  option to  purchase  20,000  shares  will vest on the third
anniversary date of this Agreement.

     All options will expire and will be nonexercisable  ten years from the date
hereof.

     The exercise  price of the option shall be $3.50 per share of Common Stock,
subject to adjustment as set forth below.  The exercise price for vested options
may be decreased if (i) the Company meets certain  perfo9rmance  goals, and (ii)
Executive  timely elects to "lock-in" a lower exercise price with respect to his
vested options.

     The exercise price for vested options may be reduced by $1.00 per share for
each $500,000 of pretax net income of the Company for the prior fiscal year. The
Company shall report to Executive,  promptly upon audited  financial  statements
for the prior  fiscal  year  becoming  available,  the  pretax net income of the
Company for that year. Executive shall have thirty (30) days in which to decide,
with respect to his vested options for which an  alternative  exercise price has
not  previously  been  locked-in,  whether to adjust the exercise  price of such
vested  options based upon the pretax income of the Company from the prior year.
For  example,  if the Company has  $1,100,000  of pretax net income for the year
ended  December 31, 1999,  the Company shall report such net income to Executive
in 2000.  Executive  will have to decide,  within thirty (30) days of receipt of
the  financial  information  whether to modify or "lock-in" an amended  exercise
price for the vested  options  (with the original  grant date of January 1, 1999
options to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock would be vested at that time).
The exercise  price for such vested  options could be lowered to $1.00 per share
and locked-in with respect to the underlying shares (two $500,000  increments of
pretax net profit (no additional adjustment for the $100,000 partial increment).

     If  Executive  locks-in  the new  exercise  price,  that  price will be the
exercise  price for those  shares for the entire  term of the  option.  However,
Executive  may determine  not to so lock-in the exercise  price.  In that event,
Executive may in the subsequent year(s), elect to lock-in a new exercise for all
vested options with respect to which alternate exercise price has not previously
been locked-in. In no event shall Executive be allowed to lock-in a new exercise
price based on the Company's  pretax net income for the year ending December 31,
2002.


     7. Confidential  Information.  Executive acknowledges that the information,
observations and data regarding the Company and its subsidiaries obtained by him
during the course of his  employment,  either before or after the effective date
of the Agreement, are the property of the Company.  Therefore,  Executive agrees
that he will not disclose to any unauthorized  person or use for his own account
or for  the  benefit  of any  third  party  (other  than  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries)  any of such  information,  observations or data without the prior
express  written  approval of the Board of Directors  of the Company.  Executive
agrees to deliver to the Company,  at the  termination  of his  employment,  all
memoranda,  notes,  plans,  records,  reports  and other  documents  (and copies
thereof) relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, which he may then possess
or have under his control.

     8. Non  Competition.  Except as an employee of the Company,  the  Executive
shall not, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two years after
termination  of his  employment,  engage  either  directly or  indirectly in any
business  involved  in  consumer  or  retail  catalog  promotion  or sales of a)
children's products including but not limited to clothing,  toys, hard goods and
the like, b) tobacco or smoking related products or c) any other business sector
in which the  Company  or any of its  affiliated  Companies  has or has plans to
issue a consumer  or retail  catalog  while the  Executive  was  employed by the
Company.  This  restriction  will further prohibit the Executive from becoming a
consultant,  owner, investor, director, agent, or in any way perform services or
lend  support  to any  business  engaged  in  the  restricted  businesses.  This
provision  shall not  apply if the  Company  terminates  Executive  pursuant  to
Section  9(b)(iii)  below  except when  Executive  is  terminated  for misuse of
Company funds or violation of Section 7 or 8 of this Agreement.
<PAGE>
     Because of the national and international nature of the catalog business of
the Company,  the parties agree that this  restriction  shall cover all of North
America and the Executive acknowledges that this restriction as to territory and
duration is reasonable.

     The Executive acknowledges that based upon his training and experience,  he
has the  capabilities of finding other employment which would not require him to
violate the terms of this Agreement.  The Executive  acknowledges that this is a
very  important term and that absent the inclusion of this  provision,  he would
not be employed by the Company.  The Executive further acknowledges that he will
not  assert  any  defense  to  the  enforcement  of  this  provision,  that  the
enforcement  creates a hardship,  precludes  him from  employment or raise other
equitable   defenses   related  to  the  possibility  of  nonviolating   gainful
employment.

     9. Term and Termination.

     a) Term.  The term of this  Agreement  shall  begin on February 1, 1999 and
shall terminate on December 31, 2002 unless extended by agreement of the parties

     b) Termination.

     (i)  Employment  may be  terminated  by the  Executive  upon 120 days prior
written notice.

     (ii) This Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement of the parties at
any time.

     (iii) This Agreement may be immediately terminated by the Company for cause
which shall include but not limited to any misuse of corporate  funds,  material
breach of duties  and  responsibilities,  a breach of this  Agreement,  personal
conduct  that  may  result  in  potential  liability  to the  Company  or  other
significant event.

     (iv) This Agreement may be terminated by the Company without cause with 120
days prior notice or alternatively  upon immediate  notice,  with the Company to
pay four months severance to Executive.

     c) In the event of termination by either party,  Executive  agrees that the
termination  will be deemed an automatic  resignation as an officer and director
of the Company or any of its affiliates.

     10. Miscellaneous.

     a)  Severability.  The invalidity or  unenforceability  of any provision of
this  Agreement  shall not affect the  validity or  enforceability  of any other
provision.

     b) No  Waivers.  The  failure  of either  party to insist  upon the  strict
performance  of any of the terms,  conditions,  and provisions of this Agreement
shall not be  construed  as a waiver  or  relinquishment  of  future  compliance
therewith, and said terms, conditions, and provisions shall remain in full force
and effect.  No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement on the part of
either party shall be effective for any purpose whatsoever unless such waiver is
in writing and signed by such party.

     c) Modification.  This Agreement may not be changed,  amended,  or modified
except by a writing signed by both parties.

     d) Notices. Any notice,  request,  demand,  waiver,  consent,  approval, or
other communication which is required to be or may be given under this Agreement
shall be in writing  and shall be deemed  given only if  delivered  to the party
personally or sent to the party by registered or certified mail,  return receipt
requested,  postage prepaid, to the parties at the addresses set forth herein or
to such other address as either party may designate  from time to time by notice
to the other party sent in like manner.

the parties and shall be governed by and construed in  accordance  with the laws
of the State of Ohio  applicable to agreements  made and to be performed  solely
within such state.  Any disputes  between the parties will be exclusively in the
Court of Common Pleas,  Stark County,  Ohio or the United States  District Court
for the  Northern  District  of Ohio and the  parties  consent to the  exclusive
