                  in performing Employee's duties hereunder, may be required to
                  spend sums of money in connection with those duties for the

                  an advance exceeds actual expenses ("Amount") will be promptly
                  refunded to Company upon determination by Company that it is
                  due, that the Amount may be deducted from any payments of any
                  nature (including without limitation salary) owed by Company
                  to employee, and that the Amount will constitute a debt from
                  Employee to Company, enforceable by Company in all respects as
                  if

                  Employee had executed a promissory note or other instrument
                  acknowledging the debt, bearing interest at a rate of 10% per
                  year from the date repayment is due, and payable in full on
                  demand without set-off or deduction.

         4.       SICK LEAVE AND DISABILITY. Employee will be entitled to sick
                  leave for the number of days determined by Company ("Sick
                  Leave"). Employee will be considered to be disabled during any
                  period in excess of Sick Leave during which Employee is unable
                  to work because of illness or incapacity ("Disability
                  Period").Employee will be entitled to receive Employee's full
                  salary during Sick Leave and will be deemed to be on leave,
                  without pay, during the Disability Period. If Employee is
                  unable to work for a period in excess of 90 days, Employee, at
                  the discretion of the Board of Directors of company, will be
                  considered to have resigned. In no event will Employee be
                  entitled to payment or other compensation for unused Sick
                  Leave or Disability Period, unless required by law or
                  otherwise provided in a policy or employment manual adopted by
                  Company.

         5.       RESIGNATION AND DISCHARGE. Employee may resign or be
                  discharged pursuant to the terms of this paragraph. If
                  Employee (i) resigns, Employee must give 30 days' notice to
                  Company; (ii) is discharged for cause (as later defined),
                  Company may discharge Employee immediately, without notice; or
                  (iii) is discharged not for cause from his responsibilities,
                  Company must give 30 days' notice to Employee. If Employee is
                  discharged not for cause, Employee will be paid severance pay
                  equal to six month's base pay in effect at the time of
                  termination payable in monthly installments.

                  For purposes of this paragraph, "for cause" means that during
                  the Employment Period, Employee, unless otherwise provided by
                  Company policy or Company employment manual, (a) is reasonably
                  believed by Company (i) to have failed to comply with any law,
                  regulation or policy, including without limitation securities
                  or employment or non-discrimination or similar laws,
                  regulations or policies, and that failure causes a significant
                  financial, regulatory, operational or public perception
                  detriment to Company, (ii) to abuse, as determined by the
                  Company, alcohol or to use drugs, (other than as prescribed by
                  Employee's physician), or (b) refuses to submit to testing for
                  alcohol or drugs, or (c) is reasonably believed by Company to
                  have committed or is charged with any felony or misdemeanor
                  involving moral turpitude, or (d) through willful neglect,
                  gross negligence, or malfeasance causes a significant
                  financial, regulatory, operational or public perception
                  detriment to Company. A determination by the Board of
                  Directors that Employee has



EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                  failed to perform Employee's responsibilities to the
                  satisfaction of the Board of Directors, without one or more of
                  the other elements set out in this paragraph, is not "for
                  cause".

         6.       COMPETITION AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS.

                  A.       COMPETITION RESTRICTIONS. Employee may not during the
                           Employment Period, and for a period of two years

                           anywhere in the United States, directly or
                           indirectly, own, manage, operate, invest in, control,
                           be employed by, participate in, be a financial
                           sponsor of, or be connected in any manner with the
                           ownership, management, operation or control of any
                           business that competes with a business conducted by
                           Company at any time during the Employment Period or
                           which Employee knows, during the Employment Period,
                           that Company intends to conduct. Employee
                           acknowledges that this restriction is necessary for
                           Company's welfare and protection in light of the
                           responsibilities assigned to Employee and Employee's
                           status in Company, that Employee is fully and
                           adequately compensated for this restriction.

                  B.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Employee acknowledges and
                           recognizes that Employee is, or will be, employed by
                           Company in a confidential relationship and may
                           receive and have access to the confidential business
                           information, customer names, contracts and other
                           customer data, business methods, techniques and trade
                           secrets of Company ("Confidential Information").
                           Employee may develop ideas, conceptions, inventions,
                           processes, methods, products and improvements; and
                           Employee may receive disclosures of ideas,
                           conceptions, inventions, processes, methods, products
                           and improvements made by other employees of Company
                           ("Company Inventions"). Employee may participate with
                           Company in improving and developing Confidential
                           Information and Company Inventions. Confidential
                           Information and Company Inventions developed on
                           behalf of Company are neither commonly known nor
                           readily accessible to others and are used by Company
                           in its business to obtain a competitive advantage
                           over Company's competitors who do not know or use the
                           Confidential Information or Company Inventions.
                           Protection of the Confidential Information and
                           Company Inventions against unauthorized disclosure
                           and use is of critical importance to Company in
                           maintaining its competitive position. Employee agrees
                           that Employee will not, at any time, during or after
                           the Employment Period, make any independent use of,
                           or disclose to any other

                           Company Inventions. Upon termination of the
                           Employment Period for any reason, Employee shall
                           promptly deliver to Company all drawings, manuals,
                           letters, notes, notebooks, reports, customer lists,
                           customer data, mailing lists, and all other materials
                           and records of any kinds, and all copies thereof,
                           that may be in the possession of, or under the
                           control of, Employee pertaining to Company's business
                           including any that contain any Confidential
                           Information or Company Invention.

                  C.       BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS. Employee acknowledges
                           Company's efforts to establish valuable business
                           relationships with its clients, customers and
                           suppliers. Employee recognizes that Company has
                           invested resources in the training and the
                           professional development of Employee, and Employee
                           further recognizes Employee's responsibility to the
                           Company when Company entrusts Employee with
                           Confidential Information. In view of Company's
                           efforts, Employee agrees that unless Company
                           authorizes Employee to do so in writing, Employee
                           will not, for a period of one year after termination
                           of employment with Company, solicit the purchase of
                           products or services directly competing with products
                           and services of Company from any person, corporation,
                           business organization or enterprise which: (i) has
                           made any purchase of products or services from
                           Company within the two years immediately preceding
                           termination of former Employee's employment
                           ("Customer"); or (ii) has been contacted by Employee
                           during the last 12 months of Employee's employment
                           for the purpose of securing the purchase of products
                           or services from Company ("Prospective Customer").

                  D.       NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. Employee is aware that
                           Company has a significant investment in its
                           employees. For a period of twelve months after
                           termination for any reason of Employee's employment,
                           neither Employee nor any person or entity by whom
                           Employee may be employed or of which Employee may be
                           an officer, director, partner, trustee or control
                           person, will directly or indirectly employ or solicit
                           to employ, or otherwise retain or solicit to retain,
                           any person employed by Company as of the date of
                           Employee's termination of employment or during the
                           twelve month period thereafter, unless that person
                           has been terminated by Company without cause (as
                           determined in good faith by Company) before the time
                           of the solicitation, employment or retention.

                  E.       REMEDIES. Employee and Company recognize that
                           irreparable injury may result to Company in the event
                           of breach or threatened breach of this paragraph of
                           this Agreement by Employee. If Employee commits a
                           breach or threatens to commit a breach of any of the
                           provisions of this paragraph, Company shall have the
                           right and remedy, in addition to any others that may
                           be available, at law or in equity, to have the
                           provisions of this paragraph specifically enforced by
                           any court having equity jurisdiction, together with
                           an accounting therefor, Employee having specifically
                           acknowledged that any such breach or threatened
                           breach will cause irreparable injury to Company and
                           that money damages will not provide an adequate
                           remedy to Company.

         7.       INVALIDITY. If any provision of this Employment Agreement is
                  later construed to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining
                  provisions shall not be affected but shall continue in full
                  effect. If any term of this Employment Agreement is found to
                  be unenforceable or invalid by any court having jurisdiction,
                  that court shall have the power to reduce or revise the term
                  and the paragraph(s) shall then be fully enforceable.

         8.       ASSIGNMENT. Employee acknowledges that Employee's services are
                  unique and personal. Accordingly, Employee may not assign
                  Employee's rights or delegate Employee's duties or obligations
                  under this Agreement. The Employer's rights and obligations
                  shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon
                  Employer's successor and assigns.

         9.       PERSONNEL POLICIES. Company's written personnel policies apply
                  to all of Company's employees, including Employee, and
                  describe additional terms and conditions of employment of
                  Employee. Those terms and conditions, as Company may revise
                  from time to time, are incorporated by reference into this
                  Employment Agreement. Company reserves the right to revise the
                  personnel policies from time to time, as Company deems
                  necessary. If any personnel policy provision conflicts with a
                  provision of this Employment Agreement, the terms of this
                  Employment Agreement shall govern.

         10.      ALCOHOL AND DRUG TESTING. Employee agrees to comply with and
                  submit to any Company program or policy for testing for
                  alcohol abuse or use of drugs and, in the absence of such a
                  program or policy, to submit to such testing as may be
                  required by Company and administered in accordance with
                  applicable law and regulations.

         11.      BINDING EFFECT. This Employment Agreement constitutes the
                  entire understanding of the parties, may be modified only in
                  writing, is governed
