     THIS AGREEMENT IS EFFECTIVE JUNE 11, 1999, BETWEEN THE NETWORK  CONNECTION,
INC. ("COMPANY") AND MORRIS C. AARON ("EXECUTIVE").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     Company wishes to employ  Executive and Executive  wishes to enter into the
employ of Company on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  the  facts,  mutual  promises  and
covenants contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, Company and
Executive agree as follows:

     1.  EMPLOYMENT.  Company  hereby  employs  Executive and  Executive  hereby
accepts  employment by Company for the period and upon the terms and  conditions
contained in this Agreement.

     2. OFFICE AND DUTIES.

          (a)  The  Executive  is  engaged  hereunder  as  the  Company's  Chief
Financial Officer and agrees to perform the duties and services incident to that
position,  and such other duties and services as may  reasonably be requested of
him by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Board of Company.  The
Executive will report directly to the Chief  Executive  Officer and shall report
to the Board of Directors of Company on a regular basis.

          (b) Throughout the term of this Agreement,  Executive shall devote his
entire working time,  energy,  skill and best efforts to the  performance of his
duties  hereunder in a manner which will  faithfully and diligently  further the
business  and  interests  of  Company.  The  foregoing  shall not be  construed,
however,  as preventing  the Executive from investing his assets in such form or
manner  as  will  not  require  services  on the  part of the  Executive  in the
operations  of the business in which such  investment  is made and provided such
business is not in  competition  with the company  or, if in  competition,  such
business has a class of securities  registered under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and the  interest  of  Executive  therein is solely  that of an investor
owning not more than 5% of any class of the  outstanding  equity  securities  of
such business.

     3. TERM.  This  Agreement  shall be for a term of 24 months,  commencing on
June 11,  1999,  and  ending  on June 10,  2001,  unless  sooner  terminated  as
hereinafter provided.  This Agreement shall terminate at the end of the original
term; provided, however, that the parties hereto shall, at least sixty (60) days
prior to the end of the term  hereof,  to use their best  efforts  to  determine
whether the Agreement will be renewed or negotiated.

     4. COMPENSATION.

          (a) For all services to be rendered by Executive to Company, Executive

effect from time to time.

          (b) In addition  to  Executive's  base  salary,  Company  shall pay to
Executive,  on July 31 and January 31 for the preceding six-month periods ending
on June 30 and December 31 of each year during the term of this Agreement,  such
bonuses or other additional compensation as the Board of Directors may determine

aggregate  bonuses to be paid to  Executive  in any year during the term of this
Agreement  should not be less than twenty  percent (20%) of  Executive's  annual
salary.  To the extent Executive is entitled to a bonus for the time period from
January  1,  2001 to June 10,  2001,  Executive  shall be paid  such  bonus,  as
determined pursuant to the terms of this Section 4, on July 31, 2001.

          (c) Throughout the term of this Agreement and as long as they are kept
in force by Company,  Executive  shall be entitled to participate in and receive
the benefits of any profit  sharing or  retirement  plans and any health,  life,
accident or  disability  insurance  plans or programs  made  available  to other
similarly  situated  executives  of Company.  Specifically,  Executive  shall be
provided  family  medical and dental  coverage at Company's  expense.  Executive
shall be entitled to four (4) weeks paid  vacation  during each year of the term

          (d) Company will provide  Executive  with an  automobile  allowance of
$500 per month and Company will reimburse  Executive for all reasonable expenses
incurred by Executive in connection with the  performance of Executive's  duties
hereunder,  including car phone,  cellular  phone,  and club  memberships,  upon
receipt  of  vouchers   therefor  and  in  accordance  with  Company's   regular
reimbursement procedures and practices in effect from time to time.

          (e) Company shall grant to  Executive,  effective as of June 11, 1999,
fifty  thousand  (50,000)  options under the Company's  Stock Option Plan.  Such

Agreement  without Cause,  fifty percent (50%) of all options granted  hereunder
will  vest  and  become  exercisable  (to the  extent  not  already  vested  and
exercisable).  If Executive leaves Company or is terminated for Cause, Executive
shall be entitled to exercise  such  options  that have vested as of the date of
such event,  but no  additional  options  shall vest or be  exercisable.  Upon a
Change of  Control,  or if  Executive  leaves the Company  for Good  Reason,  as
hereinafter  defined, all options granted hereunder shall vest as of immediately
prior to such  Change of  Control.  In the event of  Executive's  disability  or
death,  Executive's  estate shall be entitled to exercise such options that have
vested as of the date of disability or death.

     5. DISABILITY.  If Executive becomes unable to perform his duties hereunder
due to partial or total  disability  or  incapacity  resulting  from a mental or
physical illness,  injury or any other cause,  Company will continue the payment

                                        2
<PAGE>
of Executive's  base salary at its then current rate for a period of twelve (12)
weeks  following the date Executive is first unable to perform his duties due to
such disability or incapacity.  Thereafter, Company shall have no obligation for
base salary or other  compensation  payments to Executive during the continuance
of such disability or incapacity, except as provided in the Company's disability
policy, if any.

     6. DEATH. If Executive dies, all payments  hereunder shall cease at the end
of the month in which  Executive's  death shall occur and Company  shall have no
further  obligations  or liabilities  hereunder to  Executive's  estate or legal
representative or otherwise.

     7. TERMINATION OF COMPANY'S BUSINESS.  If (i) Company shall discontinue the
business  operation  in which  Executive is  employed,  Company may  immediately
terminate Executive's  employment upon written notice, or (ii) there is a change
of control  ("Change in Control",  as defined  herein),  and as a result of such
Change in Control,  the  Executive is  terminated  without  Cause (as defined in
Paragraph 8 below),  then, on the occurrence of either event, Company shall have
no further  obligations  or liabilities  hereunder to Executive,  except Company
shall (i) pay Executive an amount equal to two times the  remaining  base salary
due the  Executive for the then current  term,  but in no event shall  Executive
receive less than his base salary for one year,  to be paid in  accordance  with
the regular payroll practices of Company; and (ii) continue to provide Executive
with family medical and dental coverage for a period of 12 months.

          (a)  CHANGE IN  CONTROL.  The term  "Change in  Control"  shall mean a
change in control of a nature  that would be required to be reported in response
to Item 6(e) of  Schedule  14A of  Regulation  14A issued  under the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended (the  "Exchange  Act") as in effect as of the
date hereof, or if Item 6(e) is no longer in effect,  any subsequent  regulation
issued under the Exchange Act for a similar purpose,  whether or not the Company
is subject to such reporting  requirements;  provided,  that without limitation,
such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred if:

               (i) any "person" is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly,  of securities of
the  Company  representing  30% or  more of the  combined  voting  power  of the
Company's then outstanding securities.

               (ii) during any period of two  consecutive  years (not  including
any period prior to the date of the Agreement), individuals who at the beginning
of such period  constitute the Board of Directors,  and any new director,  whose
election by the Board or nomination  or election by the  Company's  stockholders
was approved by a vote of at least  two-thirds  of the  directors  then still in
office  who  either  were  directors  at the  beginning  of the  period or whose
election or  nomination  for elections was  previously  approved,  cease for any
reason to constitute a majority of the Board; or

               (iii) the  business  of the Company is disposed of by the Company
pursuant to a liquidation, sale of assets of the Company, or otherwise.

demotion  from  his  status,  title,  position  or  responsibilities  (including
reporting  responsibilities)  as in effect  immediately  prior to the  Change in
Control;  the assignment to him of any duty or work  responsibilities  which, in
his reasonable judgment,  are inconsistent with such status,  title, position or
work  responsibilities;  or any  removal  of the  Executive  from or  failure to
appoint or reelect him to any of such  positions,  except in connection with the
termination of his employment for Disability, Retirement or Cause as a result of
the Executive's death or by him other than for Good Reason;

          (a) habitual intoxication;

          (b) habitual illegal drug use or drug addition;

the period up to the date of termination which remains unpaid. The Company shall
have no further obligation or liability under this Agreement.

     9.  TERMINATION  WITHOUT  CAUSE.  In  the  event  Company  terminates  this
Agreement   without  Cause  at  any  time,  the  Company's  sole  liability  for

current  term to be paid in  accordance  with the regular  payroll  practices of
Company and provide  Executive with family  medical and dental  coverage for the
same period.

          (a) During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year
after the termination of his employment with Company for any reason  whatsoever,
Executive  shall not directly or  indirectly  induce or attempt to influence any
executive of Company to terminate his or her  employment  with Company and shall
not engage in (as a principal,  partner,  director,  officer,  agent, executive,

exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market.

          (b) During  the term of this  Agreement  and at all times  thereafter,

Paragraph 10 above or any information  regarding the business methods,  business
policies, procedures,  techniques,  research or development projects or results,
trade secrets, or other knowledge or processes of or developed by the Company or
any names and  addresses  of  customers  or clients,  any data on or relating to
past,  present or prospective  customers or clients,  or any other  confidential

improvements,  processes, procedures and/or techniques which Executive may make,
conceive, discover or develop, either solely or jointly with any other person or
persons,  at any time during the term of this Agreement,  whether during working
hours or at any other time and whether at the request or upon the  suggestion of
the Company or otherwise,  which relate to or are useful in connection  with any
business now or hereafter  carried on or contemplated by the Company,  including
developments  or expansions of its present  fields of  operations,  shall be the
sole and exclusive property of Company.  Executive shall make full disclosure to
Company of all such reports, plans, budgets, writings, inventions, improvements,

                                        5
<PAGE>
processes,  procedures  and  techniques,  and  shall  do  everything  reasonably
necessary or desirable to vest the absolute title thereto in Company.  Executive
shall  write and  prepare  all  specifications  and  procedures  regarding  such
inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and techniques and otherwise aid
and assist  Company so that  Company can prepare  and present  applications  for
copyright or Letters  Patent  therefor and can secure such  copyright or Letters
Patent wherever possible, as well as reissues, renewals, and extensions thereof,
and can obtain the record  title to such  copyright  or patents so that  Company
shall be the sole and absolute  owner  thereof in all  countries in which it may
desire to have copyright or patent  protection.  Executive shall not be entitled
to any additional or special compensation or reimbursement regarding any and all
such writings, inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and techniques.

          (d)  Executive  acknowledges  that the  restrictions  contained in the
foregoing  subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c), in view of the nature of the business
in which Company is engaged,  are  reasonable  and necessary in order to protect
the legitimate interests of Company, and that any violation thereof would result
in irreparable injuries to Company,  and Executive therefore  acknowledges that,
in the event of his  violation of any of these  restrictions,  Company  shall be
entitled  to obtain from any court of  competent  jurisdiction  preliminary  and
permanent  injunctive  relief as well as damages and an equitable  accounting of
all earnings,  profits and other  benefits  arising from such  violation,  which
rights  shall be  cumulative  and in addition to any other rights or remedies to
which Company may be entitled.

          (e) If the period of time or the area  specified in  subparagraph  (a)
above should be adjudged unreasonable in any proceeding, then the period of time
shall be  reduced  by such  number of months or the area shall be reduced by the
elimination  of such portion  thereof or both so that such  restrictions  may be
enforced  in such area and for such time as is  adjudged  to be  reasonable.  If
Executive  violates any of the restrictions  contained in such subparagraph (a),
the restrictive  period shall not run in favor of Executive from the time of the
commencement  of any such violation  until such time as such violation  shall be
cured by Executive to the satisfaction of Company.

     12. PRIOR AGREEMENTS. Executive represents to Company (a) that there are no
restrictions,  agreements or  understandings  whatsoever to which Executive is a
party which would prevent or make  unlawful his  execution of this  Agreement or
his  employment  hereunder,  (b) that his  execution of this  Agreement  and his
employment hereunder shall not constitute a breach of any contract, agreement or
understanding,  oral or written,  to which he is a party or by which he is bound
and (c) that he is free and able to  execute  this  Agreement  and to enter into
employment by Company.

     13. INDEMNIFICATION. Company shall maintain a Directors and Officers Errors
and  Omission  Policy  with  a  minimum  coverage  of  Fifteen  Million  Dollars
($15,000,000).  Any  deductible  and all other costs and  expenses  which may be
incurred by Executive as a result of his acting in his capacity as an Officer of
the Company shall be paid by Company.

     14. MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a) INDULGENCES, ETC. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of
either  party to  exercise  any right,  remedy,  power or  privilege  under this
Agreement  shall  operate as a waiver  thereof,  nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right,  remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or of any other  right,  remedy,  power or  privilege,  nor
shall any waiver of any right,  remedy,  power or privilege  with respect to any

                                        6

occurrence  be construed as a waiver of such right,  remedy,  power or privilege
with respect to any other occurrence.  No waiver shall be effective unless it is
