Note, shall instead by paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior

by the Company to or on account of the Note, and (ii) no payment or
distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the
Holder pursuant to this subparagraph 2(e), which would otherwise have been paid

shall be entitled to receive from the holders of  such Senior Indebtedness any
payments of distributions received by such holders of Senior Indebtedness in

address is 1644 Jeffrey Lane, Hebron, Kentucky, and Butler Products Corporation
("Butler"), whose principal place of business is located at 103 South Street,
Butler, Kentucky, a wholly owned subsidiary of Omni USA, Inc. ("Omni"), a Nevada
corporation.

          Omni is a manufacturer of certain products, including products under
the name of Butler.

          Employee is currently employed by Butler and desires to continue his
employment by Butler.

          In consideration of the preceding and the mutual covenants and
Agreements set forth the Employee, Butler and Omni agree as follows:

          1.  Employment and Duties.

          1.1 Butler employs the Employee for the office of President of
Butler. Employee's duties shall be those provided for the office in the bylaws
of Butler and any additional powers or duties that may be determined from time
to time by the Board of Directors of Butler. Employee's duties will include, at
a minimum, the same duties and responsibilities currently undertaken by
Employee.  It is understood that the responsibilities of the Employee shall at
all times be those of a person holding the office of President of Butler, and
Employee shall perform those duties which are customarily performed by one
holding such a position in a similar business enterprise.

          1.2 Employee agrees to devote his full time and attention to the
business of Butler and the Employee shall not, at any time while this Agreement

consultant or employee of any other business enterprise in competition with Omni
or Butler without the prior consent and approval of Butler's Board of Directors.

          1.3 Employee shall perform his primary duties at the principal place
of business of Butler, located at 103 South Street, Butler, Kentucky except that
the Employee may be required to travel and perform services in a location other
than the principal place of Butler in connection with the performance of his
duties.

          2.  Term of Employment.  This Agreement shall continue in effect for
an initial term of two (2) years commencing October 1, 1996, and ending
September 30, 1998, unless it is terminated sooner



                                       1
<PAGE>
 
pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement. It is understood,
however, that this Agreement shall not become effective until it has been
approved by the Board of Directors of Butler. This Agreement, at the option of

year terms on the same terms and conditions set forth herein.

          3.   Compensation and Expenses.

state and federal tax liabilities as may be required by law.

          3.2  Butler will pay to the Employee as an annual bonus, at the end

excess of $200,000. Butler shall withhold from Employee's salary the amounts
necessary for state and federal tax liabilities as may be required by law.

          3.3  The Employee shall not be entitled to additional compensation
beyond that provided in Section 3.1 of this Agreement for any services performed
while a member of any committee of Butler. In the event that Employee becomes a
member of the Board of Directors of Butler, he shall be paid such additional
compensation as Butler may provide from time to time to other board members.

          3.4  Butler shall reimburse Employee the reasonable expenses which are
incurred by Employee in the performance of his duties. Employee shall be
required to submit to Butler an itemized statement of expenses and applicable
receipts in order to receive reimbursement. Any expense reimbursement shall be
subject to policies which may from time to time be adopted by the Board of
Directors of Butler.

          4.   Employee Benefits.  During the time that he is employed by Butler
the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following benefits in addition to
the compensations specified in Section 3 above:

          4.1. The Employee shall be entitled to two weeks of vacation each
year, during which time his compensation shall be paid by Butler. Vacation shall
