          i.   Signing Bonus. As an inducement for O'CONNELL to join the

Corporation as its Chief Executive Officer, the Corporation agrees to pay to
O'CONNELL on the first payroll date following January 1, 2001, the sum of Six

2000 pursuant to the preceding sentences shall be prorated to reflect the number
of months that O'CONNELL worked for the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries
in 2000. The bonus shall be prorated for any year should O'CONNELL's employment
terminate prior to the full calendar year.  O'CONNELL shall also be entitled to
receive an additional annual bonus based on his performance and that of the
Corporation each year as determined by the Board of this Corporation, or its
Compensation Committee, in its discretion.

     d.   Stock Options.  O'CONNELL shall be eligible for stock options that may

either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner,
stockholder, corporate officer, director, or in any similar individual or
representative capacity, engage or participate in any business that is in
competition, in any manner whatsoever, with the Corporation. Notwithstanding

     b.   Corporation's Property.  It is hereby stipulated and agreed that the
          ----------------------
Corporation's Property shall remain the Corporation's sole property. In the
event that O'CONNELL's employment is terminated, for whatever reason, O'CONNELL
agrees not to copy, make known, disclose or use, any of the Corporation's
Property without the Corporation's prior written consent. In such event,
O'CONNELL further agrees not to endeavor or attempt in any way to interfere with
or induce a breach of any prior proprietary contractual relationship that the
Corporation may have with any employee, customer, contractor, supplier,
representative, or distributor for nine (9) months after any termination of this
Agreement. O'CONNELL agrees upon termination of employment to deliver to the
Corporation all confidential papers, documents, records, lists and notes
(whether prepared by O'CONNELL or others) comprising or containing the
Corporation's Property. O'CONNELL recognizes that violation of covenants and
agreements contained in this Section 5 may result in irreparable injury to the
Corporation which would not be fully compensable by way of money damages, and
that Corporation shall be entitled to pursue and seek any available remedy for
O'CONNELL's violation of this agreement, including but not limited to injunctive
and equitable relief.

6.   Termination.
     -----------

     a.   General.  The Corporation may terminate this Agreement without cause,
          -------

terminate his employment hereunder upon ninety (90) days' written notice to the
Corporation.

     b.   Termination for Cause.  The Corporation may immediately terminate
          ---------------------
O'CONNELL's employment at any time for cause.  Termination for cause shall be
effective from the receipt of written notice thereof to O'CONNELL specifying the
grounds for termination and all relevant facts.  Cause shall be deemed to
include:  (i) material neglect of his duties or a significant violation of any
of the provisions of this Agreement, which continues after written notice and a
reasonable opportunity (not to exceed thirty (30) days) in which to cure; (ii)
fraud, embezzlement, defalcation, dishonesty, conviction of any felonious
offense, or commission of an act of moral turpitude which results in either
civil or criminal liability; or (iii) intentionally imparting confidential
information relating to the Corporation, or any subsidiaries or affiliated
entities of Corporation, or their businesses, to competitors or to other third
parties other than in the course of carrying out his duties hereunder.  The
Corporation's exercise of its rights to terminate with cause shall be without
prejudice to any other remedy it may be entitled at law, in equity, or under
this Agreement.

     c.   Termination Upon Death or Disability.  This Agreement shall
          ------------------------------------
automatically terminate upon O'CONNELL's death.  In addition, if any disability
or incapacity of O'CONNELL to perform his duties as the result of any injury,
sickness, or physical, mental or emotional condition continues for a period of
thirty (30) business days (excluding any accrued vacation) out of any one
hundred twenty (120) calendar day period, the Corporation may terminate
O'CONNELL's employment upon written notice.  Payment of salary to O'CONNELL
during any sick leave shall only be to the extent that

                                       4

<PAGE>

O'CONNELL has accrued sick leave or vacation days. O'CONNELL shall accrue sick
leave at the same rate generally available to the Corporation's employees.

     d.   Severance Pay.

could have expected under this Agreement, as and when payable under this
Agreement, without deduction except for tax withholding amounts, through the end
of the term, or nine (9) months of his then-current salary without bonus,
subject to tax withholding amounts, in either case in exchange for a release as
to any and all claims O'CONNELL may have against the Corporation. During the
time period that O'CONNELL is receiving such severance pay, he shall remain as
an employee of the Corporation in a non-policy making role, and his options
shall continue to vest.

          (ii)  If this Agreement is not renewed after the original three year
term, the employment shall be deemed to terminate at the end of the original
term and the Corporation shall pay O'CONNELL a severance payment equal to nine
(9) months of his then-current salary without bonus, subject to tax withholding
amounts, in exchange for a release as to any and all claims O'CONNELL may have

bonus, subject to tax withholding amounts, in exchange for a release as to any
and all claims O'CONNELL may have against the Corporation.

          (iv)  If this Agreement is terminated by the Corporation for cause
pursuant to Section 6.b (above), the employment shall be deemed to terminate on
the date that the notice is given by the Corporation and the Corporation shall
pay to O'CONNELL a severance payment equal to three (3) months of his then-
current salary without bonus, subject to tax withholding amounts, in exchange
for a release as to any and all claims O'CONNELL may have against the
Corporation.

7.   Corporate Opportunities.
     -----------------------

     a.   Duty to Notify.  In the event that O'CONNELL, during the employment
          --------------
term, shall become aware of any material and significant business opportunity
directly related to any of the Corporation's significant businesses, O'CONNELL
shall promptly notify the Corporation's Chairman of the Board of such
opportunity.  O'CONNELL shall not appropriate for himself or for any other
person other than the Corporation, or any affiliate of the Corporation, any such
opportunity unless, as to any particular opportunity, the Board of Directors of
the Corporation fails to notify O'CONNELL within thirty (30) days that the
Corporation would like to avail itself of such opportunity or further review
such opportunity.  O'CONNELL's duty to notify the Corporation and to refrain
from appropriating all such opportunities for thirty (30) days shall neither be

the provisions of this Section notwithstanding the following:

  opportunity; or
