special,  unique, and extraordinary in character and places him in a position of
confidence and trust with e Customers and employees of the Corporation,  through
which,  among other  things,  he shall  obtain  knowledge  of the  Corporation's
"technical information" and "know-how" and become acquainted with its customers,
in which matters the  Corporation has substantial  proprietary  interests;  (ii)
that the restrictive covenants set forth above are necessary in order to protect
and  maintain  such  proprietary  interests  and the other  legitimate  business
interests  of the  Corporation;  and (iii) that the  Corporation  would not have
entered into this Agreement unless such covenants were included herein.

         Executive  also  acknowledges  that  the  business  of the  Corporation
presently will extend throughout the United States,  and that he will personally
supervise and engage in such business on behalf of Corporation and, accordingly,
it is  reasonable  that the  restrictive  covenants set forth above are not more
limited  as to  geographic  area  then  is set  forth  therein.  Executive  also
represents to the  Corporation  that the  enforcement of such covenants will not
prevent  Executive  from earning a livelihood or impose an undue hardship on the
Executive.

     10.4 Severability. If any of the provisions of this Section 10, or any part
thereof, is hereinafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall
not affect the remainder of such provision or  provisions,  which shall be given
full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the provisions of
this Section 10, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the
duration  of such  provision,  the area  covered  thereby or the type of conduct
restricted  therein,  the parties agree that the court making such determination
shall have the power to modify the duration,  geographic area and/or other terms
of  such  provision  and,  as so  modified,  said  provision(s)  shall  then  be
enforceable. In the event that the courts of any one or more jurisdictions shall
hold such provisions  wholly or partially  unenforceable  by reason of the scope
thereof or  otherwise,  it is the  intention  of the  parties  hereto  that such
determination not bar or in any way affect the Corporation's right to the relief
provided for herein in the courts of any other  jurisdictions  as to breaches or
threatened  breaches of such provisions in such other  jurisdictions,  the above
provisions  as they  relate  to  each  jurisdiction  being,  for  this  purpose,
severable into diverse and independent covenants.

     10.5 Injunctive Relief.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that, because of
the unique and  extraordinary  nature of his services,  any breach or threatened
breach of the  provisions  of  Sections  10.1,  10.2,  or 10.3 hereof will cause
irreparable injury and incalculable harm to the Corporation, and the Corporation
shall,  accordingly,  be entitled to injunctive and other  equitable  relief for
such  breach or  threatened  breach and that resort by the  Corporation  to such
injunctive or other equitable relief shall not be deemed to waive or to limit in
any respect any right or remedy which the  Corporation  may have with respect to
such breach or threatened  breach.  The Corporation and Executive agree that any
such action for  injunctive  or  equitable  relief  shall be heard in a state or
federal  court  situate in Rhode Island and each of the parties  hereto,  hereby
agrees to accept service of process by registered mail and to otherwise  consent
to the jurisdiction of such courts.

     10.6 Expenses of  Enforcement  of Covenants.  In the event that any action,
suit or  proceeding  at law or in equity is  brought to  enforce  the  covenants
contained in Sections 10.1,  10.2, or 10.3 hereof or to obtain money damages for
the breach  thereof,  the party  prevailing  in any such  action,  suit or other
proceeding shall be entitled upon demand, to reimbursement  from the other party
for all expenses (including, without limitation,  reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred in connection therewith.

     10.7  Separate  Agreement.  The  provisions  of this  Section  10  shall be
construed as an agreement on the part of the Executive  independent of any other
part of this Agreement or any other agreement, and the existence of any claim or
cause of action of the Executive against the Corporation,  whether predicated on
this Agreement or otherwise,  shall not constitute a defense to the  enforcement
by the Corporation of the provisions of this Section 10.

11. Indemnification.

          The  Corporation  shall  provide the Executive  (including  his heirs,
executors  and  administrators)  with  coverage  under a standard  directors and
officers  liability  insurance policy at the  Corporation's  expense to the same
extent  as  provided  for  any  other  director,   officer  or  trustee  of  the
Corporation. In addition, the Corporation shall indemnify the Executive (and his
heirs,  executors and  administrators) to the fullest extent permitted under the
law  of  its  state  of  incorporation  against  all  expenses  and  liabilities
reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit
or  proceeding  in which the  Executive  may be involved by reason of his having
been a director or officer of the  Corporation or any subsidiary  thereof.  Such
expenses and liabilities shall include, but not be limited to, judgments,  court
costs  and  attorneys'  fees  and  the  cost  of  reasonable  settlements,  such
settlements  to be approved  by the Board if such action is brought  against the
Executive  in his  capacity as a director or officer of the  Corporation  or any
subsidiary  thereof.  The Corporation  shall, upon the request of the Executive,
advance to the Executive such amounts as necessary to cover expenses,  including
without  limitation  legal  fees and  expenses,  incurred  by the  Executive  in
connection with any suit or proceeding in which the Executive may be involved by
reason of his being or having been a director or officer of the  Corporation  or
of any  subsidiary  thereof.  Such  indemnity and advance of expenses,  however,
shall not extend to matters as to which the Executive is finally  adjudged to be
liable for wilful misconduct in the performance of his duties.

12. Arbitration.

         Except with respect to any proceeding  brought under Section 10 hereof,
any controversy,  claim, or dispute between the parties, directly or indirectly,
concerning this Employment Agreement or the breach hereof, or the subject matter
hereof,  including  questions  concerning  the scope and  applicability  of this
arbitration  clause,  shall be finally  settled by  arbitration  in Kent County,
Rhode Island  pursuant to the rules then  applying of the  American  Arbitration
Association The arbitrators shall consist of one representative  selected by the
Corporation, one representative selected by the Executive and one representative
selected  by the  first  two  arbitrators  The  parties  agree to  expedite  the
arbitration proceeding in every way, so that the arbitration proceeding shall be
commenced  within  thirty (30) days after request  therefore is made,  and shall
continue  thereafter,  without  interruption,  and  that  the  decision  of  the
arbitrators  shall be handed down within  thirty (30) days after the hearings in
the arbitration proceedings areclosed.  The arbitrators shall have the right and
authority to assess the cost of the arbitration proceedings and to determine how
their  decision  or  determination  as to each issue or matter in dispute may be
implemented or enforced.  The decision in writing of any two of the  arbitrators
shall be binding and conclusive on all of the parties to this Agreement.  Should
either  the  Corporation  or the  Executive  fail to appoint  an  arbitrator  as
required  by this  Section 12 within  thirty (30) days after  receiving  written
notice  from the other  party to do so, the  arbitrator  appointed  by the other
party  shall act for all of the parties  and his  decision  in writing  shall be
binding and conclusive on all of the parties to this Employment  Agreement.  Any
decision  or award of the  arbitrators  shall be  final  and  conclusive  on the
parties to this  Agreement;  judgment upon such decision or award may be entered
in any competent Federal or state court located in the United States of America;

or award for any order of enforcement  and for any other legal remedies that may
be necessary to effectuate such decision or award.
