I.       NO CONFLICT: Executive represents to Company that Executive is not
         bound by any contract with a previous employer or with any other
         business that might prevent Executive from entering into this
         Agreement. Executive further represents that he or she is not bound by
         any other contracts or covenants that in any way restrict or limit
         Executive's activities in relation to his or her employment with

         signing of this Agreement.

J.       COMPANY PROPERTY: Company shall, from time to time, entrust to the
         care, custody and control of Executive certain of Company's property,
         such as motor vehicles, equipment, supplies, passwords and documents.
         Such documents may include, but shall not be limited to customer lists,
         financial statements, cost data, price lists, invoices, forms,
         electronic files and media, mailing lists, contracts, reports, manuals,
         personnel files or directories, correspondence, business cards, copies
         or notes made from Company documents and documents compiled or prepared
         by Executive for Executive's use in connection with Company business.
         Executive specifically acknowledges that all such items, including
         passwords and documents, are the property of Company, notwithstanding
         their preparation, care, custody, control or possession by Executive at
         any time(s) whatsoever.

K.       GOODWILL & PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: In connection with Executive's
         employment hereunder:

         1.       Executive agrees to utilize and further Company's goodwill
                  ("Goodwill") among its customers, sales prospects and
                  employees, and acknowledges that Company may disclose to
                  Executive and Executive may disclose to Company, proprietary
                  trade secrets and other confidential information not in the
                  public domain ("Proprietary Information") including but not
                  limited to specific customer data such as: (a) the identity of
                  Company's customers and sales prospects, (b) the nature,
                  extent, frequency, methodology, cost, price and profit
                  associated with its services and products purchased from
                  Company, (c) any particular needs or preferences regarding its
                  service or supply requirements, (d) the names, office hours,
                  telephone numbers and street addresses of its purchasing
                  agents or other buyers, (e) its billing procedures, (f) its
                  credit limits and payment practices, and (g) its organization
                  structure.

         2.       Executive agrees that such Proprietary Information and
                  Goodwill have unique value to Company, are not generally known
                  or readily available to Company's competitors, and could only
                  be developed by others after investing significant time and
                  money. Company would not make such Proprietary Information and
                  Goodwill available to Executive unless Company is assured that
                  all such Proprietary Information and Goodwill will be held in
                  trust and confidence by Executive. Executive hereby
                  acknowledges that to use this Proprietary Information and
                  Goodwill except for the benefit of Company would be a breach
                  of such trust and confidence and in violation of Executive's
                  common law Duty of Loyalty to the Company.

L.       RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS: In recognition of Paragraph K, above, Executive
         hereby agrees that during the Initial Term and the Extended Term, if
         any, of this Agreement, and thereafter as specifically agreed herein:

         1.       Except in the proper performance of this Agreement, Executive
                  shall at no time directly or indirectly solicit or otherwise
                  encourage or arrange for any employee to terminate employment
                  with Company while employed by the Company and for a period of
                  one (1) year following Executive's termination of employment.

         2.       Except in the proper performance of this Agreement, Executive
                  shall not directly or indirectly disclose or deliver to any
                  other person or business, any Proprietary Information obtained
                  directly or indirectly by Executive from, or for, Company.

         3.       Executive agrees that at all times after the termination of
                  this Agreement, Executive shall not seek, solicit, divert,
                  take away, obtain or accept the patronage of any customer or
                  sales prospect of Company through the direct or indirect use
                  of any Proprietary Information of Company, or by any other
                  unfair or unlawful business practice.

P.       GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in
         accordance with the laws of the State of Employment hereunder.

Q.       ARBITRATION CLAUSE:

         1.       Except for the interpretation and enforcement of injunctive
                  relief pursuant to Paragraph R hereof (which shall be subject
                  to litigation in any court having proper jurisdiction), any
                  claim or dispute related to or arising from this Agreement
                  (whether based in contract or tort, in law or equity)
                  including, but not limited to, claims or disputes between
                  Executive and Company or its directors, officers, employees
                  and agents regarding Executive's employment or termination of
                  employment hereunder, or any other business of Company, shall
                  be resolved by a neutral arbitrator agreed upon by both
                  parties, through mandatory, final, binding arbitration in
                  accordance with the procedural and discovery rules of the
                  American Arbitration Association.

         2.       The cost of such arbitration shall be borne by the Company.
                  Any such arbitration must be requested in writing within one
                  (1) year from the date the party initiating the arbitration
                  knew or should have known about the claim or dispute, or all
                  claims arising from that dispute are forever waived. Any such
                  arbitration (or court proceeding as applicable hereunder)
                  shall be held in the city and/or county of employment
                  hereunder. Judgment upon the award rendered through such
                  arbitration may be entered and enforced in any court having
                  proper jurisdiction.

R.       REMEDIES & DAMAGES:

         1.       The parties agree that, in the event of a material breach or
                  threatened material breach of Paragraphs K and/or L hereof,
                  the damage or imminent damage to the value of Company's
                  business shall be impractical and/or impossible to estimate or
                  ascertain, and therefore any remedy at law or in damages shall
                  be inadequate. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that
                  Company shall be entitled to the immediate issuance of a
                  restraining order or an injunction against Executive in the
                  event of such breach or threatened breach, in addition to any
                  other relief available to Company pursuant to this Agreement
                  or under law.

         2.       Executive agrees that damages resulting from any such breach
                  which involves any customer of Company shall be the actual
                  damages according to proof, as determined by an arbitrator
                  pursuant to Paragraph Q, above.

         3.       To the full extent permitted under the laws of the State of
                  Employment hereunder, Executive authorizes Company to withhold
                  from any severance payments otherwise due to Executive and
                  from any other funds (other than wages) held for Executive's
                  benefit by Company, any damages or losses sustained by Company
                  as a result of any material breach or other material violation
                  of this Agreement by Executive, pending arbitration between
                  the parties as provided for herein.

S.      NO WAIVER: Failure by either party to enforce any term or condition of
        this Agreement at any time shall not preclude that party from enforcing
        that provision, or any other provision of this Agreement, at any later
        time.

T.      SEVERABILITY: The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any
        arbitrator (or court as applicable hereunder) rules that any portion of
        this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the arbitrator's or court's
        ruling shall not affect the validity and enforceability of other
        provisions of this Agreement. It is the intent of

        the parties that if any provision of this Agreement is ruled to be
        overly broad, the arbitrator or court shall interpret such provision
        with as much permissible breadth as is allowable under law rather than
        to consider such provision void.

U.      SURVIVAL: All terms and conditions of this Agreement which by reasonable
        implication are meant to survive the termination of this Agreement,
        including but not limited to the Restrictive Covenants and Arbitration
        Clause herein, shall remain in full force and effect after the
        termination of this Agreement.

V.      REPRESENTATIONS: Executive represents and agrees that he or she has
        carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this
        Agreement, that he or she is voluntarily entering into this Agreement
        and has been given an opportunity to review all aspects of this
        Agreement with an attorney, if he or she chooses to do so.

                  a.       A Target Bonus for each Fiscal Year shall be
                           initially calculated by multiplying Executive's bonus

                           Directors of the Company reserves the right to
                           further adjust Profit for purposes of determining a

                           Agreement, the term "WTC Related Carry-Over Gain"
                           shall mean the aggregate amount of WTC Related Gain

                           purposes of this Agreement, the term "Significant
                           Transaction" shall mean the Company's acquisition or
                           disposition of a business or assets which the Company
                           is required to report under Item 2 of the SEC Form

                           conclusions of the Board, with respect to the amounts
                           of the Profit, Target Bonus or Actual Bonus, shall be
                           final and binding upon Executive and Company.

                  d.       Executive's maximum Actual Bonus for each Fiscal Year
                           shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Base
                           Salary for that year as determined pursuant to this
                           Agreement. In the event of modification or
                           termination of employment hereunder, Executive's
                           prorated Target Bonus shall not exceed such percent
                           of prorated Base Salary.

                  e.       Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Bonus for any
                           Fiscal Year of the Company shall be payable unless
                           the Company's EPS for the Fiscal Year then ending is
                           equal to or greater than eighty percent (80%) of the
                           Company's EPS for the previous Fiscal Year of the
                           Company, in each case excluding gains and losses from
                           sales of discontinued operations and any WTC Related
                           Gain.

                  f.       Nothing contained in this Agreement shall entitle
                           Executive to receive a bonus or other incentive or
                           contingent compensation from Company based on any
                           sales or profits made (including but not limited to
                           any WTC Related Gain or WTC Related Carry-Over Gain
                           realized) by Company after termination of the Initial
                           or Extended Term of this Agreement or of employment
                           hereunder.

                  g.       Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Board
                           may, prior to the beginning of any Fiscal Year,
                           approve and notify the Executive of a modification to
                           the Bonus percentage determined hereunder (either
                           higher or lower), based on such performance and
                           financial measures and other factors as the Board
                           shall determine in its sole discretion. The Board's
                           decision in this regard shall be deemed final and
                           binding on Executive regardless of the amount of
                           Target or Actual Bonus otherwise calculated pursuant
                           to the foregoing provisions. In addition, the Board
                           reserves the option at any time to grant a
                           discretionary incentive bonus, which shall not be
                           subject to the maximum Bonus provisions described in
                           paragraph X.2.d above.
