                  Executive accepts  employment as President and Chief Executive
                  Officer of Company and agrees to devote  substantially  all of
                  his working time and effort to his exercise of the powers, and

                  activities  and  community  affairs,   or  from  managing  his
                  personal   investments   and  affairs,   provided   that  such

                  Commencing  not  later  than 45 days  after  the  date of this
                  Agreement,  Company and  Executive  agree to negotiate in good
                  faith to establish mutually agreeable arrangements for payment

                  less  than  $20  million  including  Executive  as an  officer
                  covered  under that  policy;  provided,  however,  that if the

                  during such period  shall exceed 125% of the per annum rate of
                  premium  currently  paid by the Company for such  insurance on
                  the date of this Agreement (which amount is represented by the
                  Company  to be  $600,000),  then  Company  shall  provide  the
                  maximum  coverage  then  available to the Company at an annual

                  Insurance  provided by Paragraph 7 and the Indemnity  provided
                  by Paragraph 10 and the Bylaws, but shall not be obligated for

                  by Paragraph 10 and by the Bylaws, and, in addition, shall pay
                  Executive  the  greater of: (x) the  aggregate  of all amounts
                  which would be due Executive from the date of that termination
                  through and including January 2, 1999, or (y) $350,000.

                                office;

                          (iii) any   change   in   the   Executor's   reporting

                  Death

                  In the event Executive's employment is terminated by reason of
                  Executive's death, the Company shall pay to Executive's estate
                  or  beneficiaries,  as the case  may be,  all  amounts  due to

                  remain obligated to provide the Director and Officer Liability

                  Disability

                  In the event  Executive's  employment is terminated due to his
                  Disability  (as  hereinafter  defined),  Company  shall pay to
                  Executive  all amounts due Executive to and including the date
                  of  termination  for  Disability,  shall  remain  obligated to

                  by Paragraph 7 and the Indemnity  provided by Paragraph 10 and
                  by the  Bylaws,  and, in  addition,  shall pay  Executive  the
                  greater of: (x) the  aggregate  of all amounts  which would be
                  due Executive from the date of that Change of Control  through

                           (b)         individuals  who, as of the date  hereof,

                                       was approved by a vote or written consent

                  connection   therewith  and  shall   contain  an   undertaking
                  ("Undertaking")  by the  Executive to repay such amounts if it
                  shall  ultimately  be  determined  that the  Executive  is not
                  entitled to be  indemnified  under the  provisions  of Article
                  VIII Section 8 of the current Bylaws (or the Bylaws as amended
                  to provide broader  indemnification).  The  Undertaking  shall
                  provide that if Executive has commenced proceedings in a court
                  of competent  jurisdiction to secure a determination that such
                  Executive should be indemnified by the Company, there shall be
                  no obligation to repay the Company during the pendency of such
                  proceeding.

                  The termination of any Proceeding by settlement or upon a plea
                  of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself (i)
                  adversely  affect the rights of Executive to  indemnification,
                  or (ii) create a presumption  that  Executive did not meet any
                  particular  standard of conduct or have any particular  belief
                  or  that  a  court  has  determined  that  indemnification  or
                  contribution is not permitted by applicable law.

                  Executive's  rights  of  indemnification  and  advancement  of
                  expenses  provided  by  this  Agreement  shall  not be  deemed
                  exclusive of any other rights to which such  Executive may now
                  or in  the  future  be  entitled  under  applicable  law,  the
                  certificate  of  incorporation,  Bylaws,  agreement,  vote  of
                  stockholders or resolution of the Board of the Company.

                  Subject to the Undertaking,  Expenses incurred by Executive in
                  connection with  Executive's  request for  indemnification  or
                  advances hereunder shall be borne by the Company. In the event
                  that  Executive is a party to or intervenes in any  proceeding
                  in which the validity or enforceability of the Agreement is at
                  issue or  seeks an  adjudication  or award in  arbitration  to
                  enforce  Executive's  rights under,  or to recover damages for
                  breach of, the Agreement,  Executive, upon prevailing in whole
                  or in part in such  action,  shall be entitled to recover from
                  the Company and shall be  indemnified  by the Company  against
                  any Expenses actually and reasonably  incurred by Executive in
                  that proceeding.

                  When Executive makes a claim seeking to avoid repayment to the
                  Company  pursuant to an Undertaking,  either  Executive or the
                  Company shall have the right, but not the obligation,  to have
                  a determination made by Independent Counsel, at the expense of
                  the Company, as to whether indemnification of the Executive is
                  proper  under  applicable  Delaware  law.  If  selected by the
                  Executive,   such  Independent  Counsel  shall  be  reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Company; if selected by the Company,  such
                  Independent  Counsel shall be reasonably  satisfactory  to the
                  Executive.  (If both Executive and Company are unable to agree
                  on such  Independent  Counsel,  then each shall  designate  an
                  Independent   Counsel,   who,   together,   shall  select  the
                  Independent  Counsel  who will make the  determination.)  If a
                  determination has been made by Independent  Counsel in writing
                  in accordance with the preceding  sentence,  no  determination
                  inconsistent therewith by other legal counsel, by the Board or
                  by  stockholders  of Company  shall be of any force or effect,
                  provided,  however,  that Executive  shall maintain all rights
                  specified in the preceding paragraph of this Section 10.

                  "Independent  Counsel"  shall mean a law firm or a member of a
                  law firm that neither is  presently,  nor in the past five (5)
                  years has  been,  retained  to  represent:  (1) the  Executive
                  seeking indemnification with respect to which such Independent
                  Counsel is to be retained,  or by the  Company,  in any matter
                  material to the Executive or the Company,  as the case may be,
                  or (ii) any other party to the action, suit,  investigation or
                  Proceeding   giving  rise  to  a  claim  for   indemnification
                  hereunder.    Notwithstanding   the   foregoing,    the   term
                  "Independent  Counsel" shall not include any person who, under
                  the  applicable   standards  of   professional   conduct  then
                  prevailing,  would have a conflict of interest in representing
                  either the Company or the  Executive  seeking  indemnification
                  hereunder in an action to determine the  Executive's  right to
                  indemnification under this Agreement.

                  "Proceeding" shall mean an action, suit or proceeding, whether
                  civil,  criminal,  administrative  or  investigative,  and any
                  appeal therefrom.

         11.      Expenses of Agreement

                  Promptly  after  Executive's  submission  to  the  Company  of
                  invoices  therefor,  Company shall pay or reimburse  Executive
                  for the  reasonable  attorneys  fees and expenses  incurred by
                  Executive in connection  with the drafting and  negotiation of
                  this  Agreement  and of the success  payment to be  negotiated
                  pursuant to Paragraph 6, up to a limit of $7,500.

         12.      Headings.

                  The headings of the  paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted
                  for  convenience  only and shall  not be deemed to  constitute
                  part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

         13.      Entire Agreement; Modification and Waiver.

                  This  Agreement  contains  the  entire  understanding  of  the
                  parties   with  respect  to  the  terms  and   conditions   of
                  Executive's  employment  by  Company.  No waiver,  supplement,
                  modification  or amendment of this Agreement  shall be binding
                  unless  executed  in  writing by each of the  parties  hereto,
                  provided that no supplement,  modification, or amendment shall
                  be executed by Executive  on behalf of the Company.  No waiver
                  of any of the provisions of this Agreement  shall be deemed or
                  shall  constitute  a waiver  of any  other  provisions  hereof
                  (whether or not similar).

         14.      Notices.

                  All  notices,   requests,  demands  and  other  communications
                  hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
