Corporation,  a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"),  and Van Z. Krikorian,
an  individual  residing at 5  Frederick  Court,  Harrison,  New York 10528 (the
"Employee") (the  "Agreement").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :


     WHEREAS,  the Corporation needs the active service of the Employee in light
of the Corporation's renewed efforts to obtain and exploit gold mining projects;

     WHEREAS,  the  Corporation  and  the  Employee  desire  to  enter  into  an
employment agreement on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:



     1. DUTIES.

     (a)  The Corporation  hereby employs the Employee,  and the Employee hereby
          accepts and agrees to such  employment,  as Vice President and General
          Counsel and, in such capacity,  to be responsible  for  negotiation of
          contracts,  acquisition of properties in foreign countries,  review of
          legal work and participation in governmental  relations.  The Employee
          shall,  subject  to  the  supervision  and  control  of the  Board  of
          Directors  of the  Corporation,  perform  such  executive  duties  and
          exercise such supervisory  powers over and with regard to the business
          of the Corporation and its present and future subsidiaries, consistent
          with such  position,  and such  additional  duties as specified in the
          Corporation's  By-Laws or as may be  assigned to him from time to time
          by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

     (b)  The Employee  agrees to devote 60% of his  available  business time to
          the  performance  of his  duties  hereunder,  or 1,200  hours per each
          12-month   period.   The  Employee  may  provide   services  to  other
          organizations, on a compensation or pro bono basis, provided that such
          services do not  constitute  more than 40% of his  available  business
          time.

     2. TERM.  The term of this  Agreement  shall be for a period of three years
and one month  commencing on June 1, 2003 (or such other date as mutually agreed
by the parties) and ending on June 30, 2006, and shall be automatically  renewed
for  consecutive  one-year  periods  thereafter  unless  (a)  terminated  by the
Employee on 120 days written  notice prior to the expiration of the initial term
hereof,  (b)  terminated by either party on 120 days written notice prior to the
expiration  of the  fourth  year  hereof or any year  thereafter  or (c)  sooner
terminated as otherwise provided herein.

     3. COMPENSATION.

     (a)  Base  Compensation.  In consideration for the services rendered by the
          Employee  under this  Agreement,  the  Corporation  shall transfer and
          deliver  to the  Employee  as base  compensation  for the term of this
          Agreement a total of 900,000  shares of its common  stock  pursuant to
          the terms of the Restricted  Stock Award attached hereto as Exhibit A,
          which have a fair market value of $0.05 per share as determined by the
          Corporation as of the date hereof (the "Restricted  Stock Award").  In
          addition to the foregoing,  the Corporation shall pay to the Employee,
          as base  compensation,  the sum of $100,000 for each  12-month  period
          commencing  on and  after  June  1,  2003  during  the  term  of  this
          Agreement,  payable in equal monthly  installments of $8,333.33 on the
          15th day of each month,  provided  that the  Corporation  shall not be
          required to make such payment if the  Corporation  lacks the financial
          resources or adequate  cash flow to do so, as  determined by the Board
          of  Directors  of the  Corporation  pursuant  to a  unanimous  written
          consent.  If such sum of $100,000 or portion  thereof is not paid when
          due, such sum in question shall accrue without  interest,  but any sum
          accrued  during the  12-month  period ended June 30, 2004 shall become
          due and payable on June 30, 2005,  and any sum due accrued  during the
          period  ended  June 30,  2005 or June 30,  2006  shall  become due and
          payable on June 30, 2006.

     (b)  Bonus  Compensation.  In addition to the foregoing  compensation,  the
          Employee  shall be  entitled  to  receive  annual  bonus  compensation
          ("Annual Bonus") in an amount  determined in accordance with any bonus
          plan approved by the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof duly
          authorized  by the  Board  to  make  such  determination,  based  upon
          qualitative  and  quantitative   goals  determined  by  the  Board  of
          Directors,  or such committee thereof, in its sole discretion,  as the
          case may be. Any Annual Bonus shall be subject to all  applicable  tax
          withholdings.



     (c)  In the event that the Employee  voluntarily elects not to work 60% for
          the Corporation as contemplated hereunder, both his base compensation,
          and bonus compensation,  if any, to which he would otherwise have been
          entitled,  set forth in  Section  3(a) and (b) shall be reduced to the
          amount  computed  by  multiplying  such  base  compensation  and bonus
          entitlement  by the ratio of the number of hours  worked  during  such
          12-month period to 1,200 hours.

     (d)  Change of Control.



          (i)  If during the term of this Agreement,  there shall occur a Change
               of Control of the Corporation (as defined  herein),  the Employee
               may  terminate  his  employment  hereunder at any time during the
               term of this  Agreement,  in which case he shall be  entitled  to
               receive a payment  equal to 2.95  times  the  Employee's  average
               annual  compensation  paid by the  Company  within the meaning of
               Section  280(G)(d)(1)  of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as
               amended,  during the four-year  period (or, if he has worked less
               than four  years  hereunder,  such  shorter  period)  immediately
               preceding  the  date  of  his   termination  of  employment  (the
               "Severance  Payment"),  provided,  however,  that such  Severance
               Payment  shall be reduced if and only to the extent  necessary to
               avoid the imposition of an excise tax on such  Severance  Payment
               under  Section  4999 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
               amended.  The  Severance  Payment  shall be payable  to  Employee
               within 30 days after the occurrence of a Change of Control.

          (ii) (A) For purposes hereof,  the term "Change of Control" shall mean
               an event or  series  of  events  that  would  be  required  to be
               described as a change in control of the Corporation in a proxy or
               information  statement distributed by the Corporation pursuant to
               Section 14 of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 in response to
               Item  6(e)  of  Schedule  14A  promulgated  thereunder,   or  any
               substitute   provision   which  may   hereafter  be   promulgated
               thereunder or otherwise adopted.

               (B)  (1) Notwithstanding  anything contained in this Section 3(d)
                    to the  contrary,  a "Change of Control"  shall be deemed to
                    occur upon

          (a)  (i) the  sale of all or  substantially  all of the  Corporation's
               assets  or  (y)  a  merger  (including  a  merger  in  which  the
               Corporation is the surviving corporation) or consolidation of the
               Corporation  with  one or more  corporations  or  entities,  as a
               result  of  which in each  such  case  the  Corporation's  voting
               securities  outstanding  immediately  before such sale, merger or
               consolidation  represent  less  than 50% of the  combined  voting
               power of voting  securities of the  Corporation  or the surviving
               entity  outstanding   immediately  after  such  sale,  merger  or
               consolidation; or


<PAGE>


               (ii) any  "person",  as such  term is used in  Section  13(d) and
               14(d) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended (the
               "Exchange Act") or persons acting in concert (other than Drury J.
               Gallagher,  Robert A. Garrison,  Van Z. Krikorian or any of their
               affiliates) become the "beneficial owner" or "beneficial  owners"
               (as  defined  in  Rule  13d-3  under  the  Exchange  Act,  or any
               successor  rule or  regulation  thereto as in effect from time to
               time),  directly or indirectly,  of the Corporation's  securities
               representing  more than 50% of the  combined  voting power of the
               Corporation's then outstanding securities,  pursuant to a plan of
               such person or persons to acquire such a controlling  interest in
               the Company,  whether pursuant to a merger (including a merger in
               which  the   Corporation  is  the  surviving   corporation),   an
               acquisition of securities or otherwise,  except that this Section
               3(d)(ii)(B)(1)(a)(ii)  shall not apply to any person who provides
               financing to the Corporation or any of their affiliates, pursuant
               to a private placement transaction or otherwise; and


          (b)  a  transaction  shall not  constitute  a Change of Control if its
               sole  purpose  is  to  change  the  state  of  the  Corporation's
               incorporation  or to create a holding  company that will be owned
               in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the
               Corporation's securities immediately before such transaction.

     4. WORKING FACILITIES.  The Corporation shall not be required to provide an
office for the Employee for the performance of his services hereunder,  but will
provide such other  facilities  and services  commensurate  with his position as
Vice  President  and  General  Counsel  of the  Corporation,  as are  reasonably
necessary  for the  performance  of his duties  hereunder,  as determined by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation.

     5. REIMBURSEMENT OF BUSINESS EXPENSES.  The Employee is authorized to incur
reasonable  expenses  in  connection  with  the  conduct  of  the  Corporation's
business,  including,  without  limitation,  expenses for the Employee's travel,
lodging  and  business   entertainment  in  accordance  with  the  Corporation's
customary practice and subject to the general  limitations  thereof set forth in
the annual or more  frequent  budgets  adopted by the  Corporation  from time to
time.  The  Corporation  will promptly  reimburse the Employee for such expenses
upon the presentation by the Employee, from time to time, of an itemized account
of such  expenditures  together  with  vouchers or  receipts  in  substantiation
thereof.

     6. BENEFITS. During the term of this Agreement, any benefits made available
to officers or  employees  of the  Corporation  under any pension  plan,  profit
sharing plan,  employee stock purchase plan,  stock bonus plan,  incentive stock
option plan, stock appreciation  plan,  deferred  compensation  plan,  insurance
plan, health plan, welfare plan, long-term disability plan or otherwise shall be
made  available to the  Employee,  taking into account the  Employee's  level of
compensation,  past services,  scope of responsibility and such other factors as
are customarily used to evaluate  executive  performance and compensation  under
such plans.

     7.  VACATIONS.  The Employee shall be entitled each year during the term of
this  Agreement  to a vacation  period of four  weeks  during  which  period all
compensation,  benefits,  and other  rights to which the  Employee  is  entitled
hereunder  shall be  provided  in  full.  Such  vacation  may be  taken,  in the
Employee's  discretion,  at such time or times as are not inconsistent  with the
reasonable business needs of the Corporation. During the term of this Agreement,
the vacation  time provided for herein shall not be cumulative to the extent not
taken by the Employee  during a given year.  In the event that the vacation time
provided  hereunder  has not been taken during the 12-month  period prior to the
termination  or expiration of this Agreement for any reason other than those set
forth in  Section  8(a)  hereof,  the  Corporation  shall pay the  Employee,  in
addition to any other benefits due to the Employee hereunder, an amount equal to
the number of weeks (or fraction  thereof) of vacation  time not so taken during
such period multiplied by an amount equal to the result obtained by dividing (x)
the then base  salary in effect on the  Termination  Date (as defined in Section
8(e) hereof) by (y) 52.

     8. TERMINATION.

          (a)  Early  Termination by Corporation  for Cause.  During the term of
               this  Agreement,  the Employee's  employment may be terminated by
               the  Corporation  for  Cause  (as  defined  herein)  only  by the
               affirmative  vote of 100% of all of the  members  of the Board of
               Directors  of  the  Corporation   then  holding  office  (without
               counting any vote of the Employee whose services are sought to be
               terminated,  if the  Employee  is then a member  of the  Board of
               Directors) on 30 days prior  written  notice by means of a Notice
               of Termination, and an opportunity for the Employee,  accompanied
               by counsel of his choice, to address the full Board of Directors,
               that  one  of  the  following  conditions  exists  or  one of the
               following  events  has  occurred  (each of which  is  defined  as
               "Cause"):

               (i)  Wrongful  act or acts  on the  part  of the  Employee  which
                    caused material damage to the Corporation;

               (ii) The  conviction  of the Employee for a felony  involving the
                    Corporation or moral turpitude;

               (iii)The  refusal  by the  Employee,  continued  for at  least 90
                    days, to perform such employment duties as may reasonably be
                    delegated   or  assigned   to  him  under  this   Agreement,
                    consistent  with his  executive  position,  by the  Board of
                    Directors of the Corporation;

               (iv) Willful  and  unexcused  neglect  by  the  Employee  of  his
                    employment  duties under this  Agreement,  continued  for at
                    least 90 days; or



<PAGE>

               (v)  Any other material  breach by the Employee of the provisions
                    of this Agreement.  Subject only to a final determination by
                    an arbitrator  made pursuant to the provisions of Section 11
                    of this Agreement, the Board of Directors' determination, in
                    good faith,  in writing that cause exists for termination of
                    the  Employee's  employment  shall be binding and conclusive
                    for  all   purposes   under   this   Agreement.   Upon  such
                    determination  by the  Board of  Directors,  the  Employee's
                    compensation  pursuant  to  Section  3 hereof  and all other
                    benefits   provided   hereunder   shall   terminate  on  the
                    Termination Date, except that the Employee shall be entitled
                    to be paid severance pay equal to his then base compensation
                    for a period of three months  thereafter.  In the event that
                    the Employee desires to take any matter with respect to such
                    determination   to   arbitration,   he  must   commence   an
                    arbitration  proceeding  within  30 days  after  receipt  of
                    written notice of the Board of Directors' determination.  If
                    the Employee  fails to take such action  within such period,
                    he will be deemed  conclusively  to have waived his right to
                    arbitration of the termination of his employment hereunder.

          (b)  Termination by Employee.  In the event that the Corporation shall
               default in the performance of any of its  obligations  under this
               Agreement  in any material  respect  (other than by reason of its
               financial  inability to make  payments as determined by the Board
               of Directors of the  Corporation in writing),  and shall not cure
               such  default  within 10 days of  receipt by the  Corporation  of
               written  notice of such default from the  Employee,  the Employee
               may  terminate   this  Agreement  by  delivery  of  a  Notice  of
               Termination.  Upon any termination  pursuant to the provisions of
               this Section 8(b), the Employee shall be entitled to receive,  as
               liquidated  damages  and not as a penalty,  one  year's  payments
               which would have been made to the Employee on account of his base
               salary  in  effect  at the date of the  delivery  of a Notice  of
               Termination.  Upon  fulfillment  of the  conditions  set forth in
               Section  8(b)  hereof and  subject to Section  8(f)  hereof,  all
               rights and  obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall
               thereupon be terminated. The Employee shall have no obligation to
               mitigate damages,  and amounts payable pursuant to the provisions
               of this  Section  8(b)  shall not be  reduced  on  account of any
               income  earned by the  Employee  from other  employment  or other
               sources.

          (c)  Termination by Reason of  Disability.  In the event that Employee
               shall  be  prevented  from  rendering  all  of  the  services  or
               performing  all of his  duties  hereunder  by reason of  illness,
               injury or incapacity (whether physical or mental) for a period of
               six consecutive  months,  determined by an independent  physician
               selected  by the  Board  of  Directors  of the  Corporation,  the
               Corporation shall have the right to terminate this Agreement,  by
               giving 10 days prior  written  notice to the  Employee,  provided
               that  the  Corporation  shall  continue  to  pay  his  then  base
               compensation for a period of 12 months  thereafter  (exclusive of
               any benefit under the Restricted  Stock Award).  Until terminated
               in the manner set forth in this Section 8(c),  the Employee shall
               be  entitled  to  receive  his  full  compensation  and  benefits
               provided  hereunder through the Termination Date. Any payments to
               the Employee under any disability insurance or plan maintained by
               the  Corporation  shall be applied  against and shall  reduce the
               amount of the base compensation  payable by the Corporation under
               this Section 8(c).


<PAGE>

          (d)  Termination  by Reason of Death.  In the event that the  Employee
               shall die during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall
               terminate  upon such  death.  The death  benefit  payable  to the
               Employee under this Agreement (exclusive of any benefit under the
               Restricted  Stock  Award)  shall be the life  insurance  benefits
               provided to the Employee, if any.

          (e)  Certain Definitions.

               (i)  Any   termination  of  the  Employee's   employment  by  the
                    Corporation  or by the Employee shall be  communicated  by a
                    Notice  of  Termination  to  the  other  party  hereto.  For
                    purposes  hereof,  a "Notice  of  Termination"  shall mean a
                    notice which shall state the specific reasons, and shall set
                    forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances,  for
                    such termination.

               (ii) "Termination  Date"  shall  mean the date  specified  in the
                    Notice  of   Termination  as  the  last  day  of  Employee's
                    employment by the Corporation.

          (f)  Continued   Maintenance   of  Benefit  Plans  in  Certain  Cases.
               Notwithstanding  anything  contained  in  this  Agreement  to the
               contrary,  if the Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to
               Sections 8(b) or 8(c) hereof,  the Corporation  shall maintain in
               full force and effect,  for the continued benefit of the Employee
               for the number of years  (including  partial years)  remaining in
               the term of employment hereunder,  all employee benefit plans and
               programs  in which  the  Employee  was  entitled  to  participate
               immediately  prior to the  Termination  Date,  provided  that the
               Employee's continued  participation is possible under the general
               terms and  provisions  of such plans and  programs.  In the event
               that the Employee's  participation in any such plan or program is
               barred,  the Corporation  shall have no obligation to provide any
               substitute benefits for the Employee.

     9. CONFIDENTIALITY.

          (a)  During the term of this Agreement,  and for a period of two years
               thereafter,  the Employee  shall not,  without the prior  written
               consent of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, disclose to
               any person, other than an employee of the Corporation or a person
               to whom  disclosure is  reasonably  necessary or  appropriate  in
               connection  with the  performance  by the  Employee of his duties
               hereunder,  any of  the  Corporation's  confidential  information
               obtained  by the  Employee  during  the  term of this  Agreement,
               including,  without limitation, trade secrets, products, designs,
               customers or methods of distribution.

          (b)  The  obligations  of  confidentiality  contained  in this Section
               shall not extend to any matter which is in or becomes part of the
               public  domain  otherwise  than  by  reason  of a  breach  by the
               Employee of his obligations of confidentiality hereunder or which
               is  disclosed  by  the  Employee   pursuant  to  an  order  of  a
               governmental  body  or  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  or as
               required  pursuant to a legal proceeding in which the Employee or
               the Corporation is a party.

     10.  CERTAIN  REMEDIES IN EVENT OF BREACH.  In the event that the  Employee
commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the restrictions on
confidentiality  contained in Section 9 of this Agreement, the Corporation shall
have the following rights and remedies:

          (a)  to obtain an injunction  restraining  any violation or threatened
               violation of the provisions of Section 9 or any other appropriate
               decree  of  specific  performance  by  any  court  having  equity
               jurisdiction,  it being  acknowledged  and agreed by the Employee
               that the services rendered, and to be rendered to the Corporation
               by him as an Employee, are of a special, unique and extraordinary
               character  and that any such  breach or  threatened  breach  will
               cause  irreparable  injury  to the  Corporation  and  that  money
               damages will not provide an adequate  remedy to the  Corporation;
               and

<PAGE>


          (b)  to  require  the  Employee  to  account  for and pay  over to the
               Corporation  all   compensation,   profits,   monies,   accruals,
               increments  or  other  benefits   (collectively  the  "Benefits")
               derived  or  received  by  the  Employee  as  the  result  of any
               transactions  constituting  a breach of any of the  provisions of
               Section 9, and the Employee  hereby agrees to account for and pay
               over the Benefits to the Corporation.

     Each of the  rights and  remedies  enumerated  in this  Section 10 shall be
independent of the other,  and shall be severally  enforceable,  and such rights
and  remedies  shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and
remedies available to the Corporation at law or in equity.

     11. ARBITRATION.

          (a)  Selection of  Arbitrators.  In the event of any  disagreement  or
               controversy  arising out of or relating to this  Agreement,  such
               controversy or disagreement shall be settled by three arbitrators
               in the  City of New  York in  accordance  with  the  rules of the
               American  Arbitration  Association  (the  "AAA") in  arbitrations
               administered  by it  (other  than the AAA rules  relating  to the
               appointment  of  arbitrators),  and  any  award  granted  in such
               arbitration   shall  finally   determine   such   controversy  or
               disagreement. The arbitrators for any of the arbitral proceedings
               referred to in the preceding sentence shall be chosen as follows:
               (x) one shall be chosen by the Employee,  (y) one shall be chosen
               by the Board of Directors of the  Corporation,  and (z) one shall
               be chosen by the two arbitrators  selected under Section 11(a)(x)
               and (y) hereof. The arbitrators to be chosen by the parties shall
               be  chosen  within  30 days  after the  service  of a demand  for
               arbitration on any party hereto. If the two arbitrators appointed
               above shall not agree to the appointment of the third  arbitrator
               to be  appointed as provided in Section  11(a)(z)  within 15 days
               after their  appointment,  such arbitrator shall be chosen by the
               then  President of the  Association of the Bar of the City of New
               York,  subject  to  challenge  by any  party  only by reason of a
               conflict of interest.

          (b)  Jurisdiction.  Any judicial proceeding brought against any of the
               parties  to this  Agreement  in  connection  with  compelling  or
               staying  arbitration or enforcing any arbitral  decision shall be
               brought in the courts of the State of New York in the City of New
               York or in the  United  States  District  Court for the  Southern
               District of New York,  and by the  execution and delivery of this
               Agreement,  each of the  parties to this  Agreement  accepts  for
               himself or itself the exclusive  jurisdiction of such courts, and
               irrevocably  agrees to be bound by any judgment  rendered thereby
               in  connection  with  this  Agreement.  Such  consent  shall  not
               constitute  a general  appearance  or be  available  to any other
               person who is not a party to this  Agreement.  The parties  agree
               that  service of process will be deemed  sufficient  if made upon
               each party hereto at the address set forth herein.

               matter  hereof,  and it may not be  modified  or  amended  in any
               manner other than as provided herein; and no waiver of any breach
               or condition of this  Agreement  shall be deemed to have occurred
               unless  such waiver is in  writing,  signed by the party  against
               whom enforcement is sought,  and no waiver shall be claimed to be
               a waiver  of any  subsequent  breach  or  condition  of a like or
               different nature.

          (d)  Binding Effect;  Assignability.  This Agreement and all the terms
               and provision hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the

Mr. Van Z. Krikorian
5 Frederick Court
Harrison, New York  10528

                  Re:      Restricted Stock Award

Dear Mr. Krikorian:

     As an inducement for your  rendering of services to the Company,  we hereby
grant you 900,000  shares of the Common  Stock of the  Company,  evidenced  by a
certificate  of  shares of our  common  stock,  $.001  par value per share  (the
"Shares"),  subject to applicable  securities law restrictions and the terms and
conditions set forth herein:

     1. You shall be required to spend at least 60% of your business time (1,200
hours for each 12-month period) in connection with the  responsibility  assigned
to you (or to be  assigned to you) by the Board of  Directors  of the Company in
promoting the business of the Company pursuant to your employment agreement with
the Company.

     2. For the first seven-month  period commencing with the date hereof within
which you render the services provided herein,  you shall become fully vested in
18.92%  of the  total  Shares  granted  hereunder.  For  each  six-month  period
thereafter commencing on January 1, 2004 through June 30, 2006, you shall become
fully  vested in 16.216% of the total Shares  granted  hereunder.  Thus,  if you
complete 19 and 37 months of service as provided hereunder,  you shall be 51.35%
and 100% vested, respectively, in the Shares granted hereunder.

     3. In the event of your  termination  of your  employment  on or before the
expiration of the initial  seven-month period commencing with the date hereof or
any subsequent six-month period thereafter during the 37-month period commencing
with June 1,  2003 for any  reason,  you  shall  forfeit  all  right,  title and
interest  in and to any of the Shares  granted  hereunder  which have not become
vested in you, without any payment by the Company therefore.

     4. (a) Any Shares  granted  hereunder  are not  transferable  and cannot be
assigned,  pledged,  hypothecated  or  disposed  of in any way until they become
vested,  and  may  be  transferred  thereafter  in  accordance  with  applicable
securities law restrictions.  Any attempted transfer in violation of the Section
shall be null and void.

     (b)  Notwithstanding  anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
after  you  become  vested  in any of the  Shares  granted  hereunder,  no sale,
transfer or pledge  thereof may be effected  without an  effective  registration
statement or an opinion of counsel for the Company that such registration is not
required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and any applicable state
securities laws.





<PAGE>


     5.  During the  period  commencing  with the date  hereof and prior to your
forfeiture  of any of the Shares  granted  hereunder,  you shall have all right,
title and interest in and to the Shares granted  hereunder,  including the right
to vote the Shares and receive  dividends  or other  distributions  with respect
thereto.

     6. You shall be solely responsible for any and all Federal, state and local
income  taxes  arising out of your receipt of the Shares and your future sale of
other disposition of them.


     7. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed
by and construed in accordance  with the laws of the State of New York,  without
regard to its conflicts of law principles. All parties hereto (i) agree that any
legal suit,  action or proceeding  arising out of or relating to this  Agreement
shall be instituted  only in a Federal or state court in the City of New York in
the State of New York,  (ii) waive any objection which they may now or hereafter
have to the  laying of the venue of any such  suit,  action or  proceeding,  and
(iii) irrevocably  submit to the exclusive  jurisdiction of any Federal or state
court in the City of New York in the State of New York, in any such suit, action
or proceeding,  but such consent shall not constitute a general appearance or be
available to any other person who is not a party to this Agreement.  All parties
hereto agree that the mailing of any process in any suit,  action or  proceeding
at the addresses of the parties shown herein shall  constitute  personal service
thereof.

     8.  If  any  provision  of  this   Agreement   shall  be  held  invalid  or
unenforceable,  such  invalidity or  unenforceability  shall attach only to such
provision and shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or  unenforceable
any other  severable  provision of this  Agreement,  and this Agreement shall be
carried out as if any such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained
herein.

     9. This Agreement and all the terms and provisions  hereof shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the  parties and their  respective  heirs
and successors and, in the case of the Company, its assigns.

     10. This  Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by all of
the parties hereto.

     11.  Nothing  contained  herein shall be construed to create an  employment
agreement between the Company and you or require the Company to employ or retain
you under such a contract or otherwise.

     12. Notwithstanding anything contained this in Agreement to the contrary:

     (a) the Shares shall become fully vested upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control (as defined in this Section 12), which shall occur upon



<PAGE>



          (i) (x) the sale of all or  substantially  all of the Company's assets
     or (y) a merger  (including a merger in which the Company is the  surviving
     corporation) or consolidation of the Company with one or more  corporations
     or entities,  as a result of which in each such case the  Company's  voting
     securities   outstanding   immediately   before   such   sale,   merger  or
     consolidation  represent  less  than 50% of the  combined  voting  power of
     voting  securities  of the  Company  or the  surviving  entity  outstanding
     immediately after such sale, merger or consolidation; or

          (ii) any "person",  as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of
     the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange  Act") or
     persons  acting  in  concert  (other  than  Drury J.  Gallagher,  Robert A.
     Garrison,  Van  Z.  Krikorian  or  any  of  their  affiliates)  become  the
     "beneficial  owner" or "beneficial  owners" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
     the Exchange Act, or any successor rule or regulation  thereto as in effect
     from time to time),  directly or  indirectly,  of the Company's  securities
     representing  more than 50% of the combined  voting power of the  Company's
     then outstanding  securities,  pursuant to a plan of such person or persons
     to acquire such a controlling interest in the Company,  whether pursuant to
     a  merger  (including  a merger  in  which  the  Company  is the  surviving
     corporation),  an acquisition of securities or otherwise,  except that this
     Section  12(a)(ii) shall not apply to any person who provides  financing to
     the Company or any of their  affiliates,  pursuant  to a private  placement
     transaction or otherwise; and

     (b) a  transaction  shall not  constitute  a Change of  Control if its sole
purpose is to change  the state of the  Company's  incorporation  or to create a
holding company that will be owned in substantially  the same proportions by the
persons who held the Company's securities immediately before such transaction.


     (c) the  Shares  shall  become  fully  vested  upon your death or upon your
becoming disabled,  which shall mean you shall have been unable to render all of
your  duties by reason of illness,  injury or  incapacity  (whether  physical or
mental) for a period of six  consecutive  months,  determined by an  independent
physician selected by the Board of Directors of the Company.
