Document:

AGREEMENT,  made and entered  into as of the 1st day of January,  2000,
between  BURLINGTON  INDUSTRIES,   INC.,  a  Delaware  corporation  (hereinafter
sometimes  referred to as the  "Corporation"),  and John P. Ganley  (hereinafter
referred to as "Executive").

         WHEREAS,  the  Corporation  and  Executive  desire  to  enter  into  an
Employment  Agreement  effective January 1, 2000, this Agreement to supersede in
its entirety the present employment agreement, if any, between the parties;

         NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual agreements  hereinafter
contained, the Corporation and Executive hereby agree as follows:

         l. The Corporation agrees to employ Executive,  and Executive agrees to
serve the Corporation, upon the terms hereinafter set forth.

         2. The employment of Executive hereunder shall commence January 1, 2000
and continue  until  December  31, 2001,  unless  earlier  terminated  under the
provisions of Paragraphs 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement.

         3. Executive agrees to serve the Corporation faithfully and to the best
of his ability under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
devoting  his  entire  time,  energy and skill  during  regular  business  hours
performing the duties assigned by the Board.

         4. The Corporation  agrees to pay to Executive during the period of the
term hereof salary for his services at the rate (the "Annual Rate", which Annual
Rate shall  refer to any  subsequent  increase  in the rate of  compensation  of
Executive  granted by the Corporation  during the term of this Agreement) of Two
Hundred  Seventy-five  Thousand Dollars  ($275,000) per annum,  payable in equal
monthly or other more  frequent  installments  in  accordance  with the  general
practice of the Corporation for salaried senior employees.

         5. The  Corporation  may from  time to time  pay  additional  incentive
compensation  to  certain  executives  when and if  authorized  by the  Board of
Directors  or  the  appropriate  Committee  of the  Board  of  Directors  of the
Corporation.  Executive is deemed to be a valuable  executive of the Corporation
and will be considered for payment of such incentive  compensation  in all years
that the Board  determines that such  compensation  should be paid to senior and
key  employees  generally.  It is  expressly  understood  that the amount of any
additional  compensation is entirely in the discretion of the  Corporation,  and
nothing  herein  shall  be  construed  as a  promise  or  obligation  to pay any
additional  compensation to Executive whatsoever.  If sums are paid to Executive
as  additional  compensation  in any year,  such  payment  shall  not  create an
obligation to pay additional compensation to Executive in any past or succeeding
year. No payments to Executive of additional compensation,  if any, shall reduce
or be applied against the salary to be paid to Executive pursuant to Paragraph 4
hereof.

         6.  If,  during  the term of this  Agreement,  Executive  shall  become
physically or mentally incapable of fully performing services required of him in
accordance  with his obligations  under Paragraph 3 of this Agreement,  and such
incapacity is, or may reasonably be expected to exist,  for more than two months
in the aggregate  during any period of twelve  consecutive  months,  as shall be
determined by a physician  mutually agreed upon by the Corporation and Executive
(or Executive's  legal  representative  if Executive is incapable of making such
determination),   which  determination  shall  be  final  and  conclusive,   the
Corporation  may, upon notice to  Executive,  terminate  this  Agreement and his
employment hereunder, and upon such termination,  Executive shall be entitled to
receive (i) cash  compensation at the Annual Rate for a period of six months and
(ii) shall receive benefits as provided under Paragraph 7(b)(iii) below for such
six-month period.  Executive agrees to accept such payment in full discharge and
release of the Corporation,  its subsidiaries and their management,  of and from
any and all further  obligations and liabilities to him under Paragraph 4 hereof
(including  any liability for payments under the  Corporation-funded  disability
insurance program).

         7. (a) The Corporation may in its sole discretion at any time terminate
Executive's employment under this Agreement, whether for cause or without cause.

           (b) Other than  under the  circumstances  described  in  paragraph  8
below, in the event of (1) an involuntary termination of employment of Executive
without Cause,  (2) a voluntary  termination of employment by Executive for Good
Reason,  or (3) the sale of a  subsidiary  or a division (a  "Business")  of the
Corporation  that employs  Executive or in connection with which he is employed,
in which he is not offered reasonably  comparable  employment in the Business or
with the  Corporation  (or any of their  respective  affiliates)  following such
sale,  Executive  shall receive (in lieu of any payment under the  Corporation's
Severance Policy), as soon as practicable following such termination:

             (i) salary  accrued  through the date of  termination at the Annual
Rate;

             (ii) a lump sum  payment in cash equal to (x) the salary that would
have been  payable  under  Paragraph  4 above  during the  Severance  Period (as
defined below) plus (y) an amount (the "Bonus  Equivalent")  equal to the number
of years in the  Severance  Period  times the amount  established,  for the year
during  which such  termination  occurs,  as the  Executive's  target  incentive
payment under the Corporation's annual cash incentive plan approved by the Board
of Directors with respect to such year; and

            (iii) either (x) Executive shall continue,  to the extent  permitted
by  applicable  law,  as a  participating  member or  beneficiary  in all of the
benefit and welfare plans of the  Corporation  in which  Executive  participated
immediately  prior to the date of termination or (y) the Corporation  shall fund
substantially  equivalent benefits to the extent  participation in such plans is
not permissible,  and Executive shall be guaranteed service credit in such plans
(including,  without  limitation,  for  vesting  purposes  of  the  Supplemental
Executive  Retirement  Plan),  in either case (x) or (y) for the period equal to
the  Severance  Period.  Executive's  rights under this Clause (iii) shall cease
when Executive commences other employment and obtains coverage under other plans
on a substantially similar basis to those of the Corporation.

Except as expressly  provided in this subparagraph  7(b), in all other respects,
Executive's  rights under all of the benefit plans of the  Corporation  shall be
governed by the terms of such plans and not by the provisions of this Agreement.

                  (c) In the  event of an  involuntary  termination  for  Cause,
Executive shall only be entitled to payments under the Severance Policy and only
if the conduct  giving rise to such  termination  was not, in the  Corporation's
sole judgment, willful.

                  (d) In the event that Executive's  employment is terminated by
the  Corporation  or the  Executive for any reason other than those set forth in
Paragraph  6  above,  subparagraphs  7(b) or  7(c) or  Paragraph  8  below,  the
Corporation shall have no further obligation to Executive hereunder or under the
Severance Policy.

                  (e)  Notwithstanding  any other  provisions of this Agreement,
Executive's  obligations  under  Paragraphs  9 and 10 of  this  Agreement  shall
survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

         8.  (a) If  within  two  years  following  a  Change  of  Control,  the
employment  of Executive  hereunder is  terminated  by the  Corporation  without
Cause, or is terminated by Executive for Good Reason,  in either case other than
by reason of death or disability, the Corporation shall promptly (not later than
30 days)  pay to  Executive  a lump sum  payment  in cash  equal to (i) the then
salary  of  Executive  at the  Annual  Rate  times  the  number  of years in the
Severance  Period,  plus (ii) the Bonus  Equivalent times the number of years in
the Severance  Period.  In addition,  following such  termination of employment,
Executive shall continue for the number of years in the Severance Period, in the
manner set forth in  subparagraph  7(b)(iii)  above,  to participate  in, or the
Corporation shall fund substantially  equivalent benefits, under the welfare and
benefit plans of the Corporation.

             (b) In the  event  that  the  payment  by  the  Corporation  of the
payments  required in the  preceding  Paragraph  would  result in the  Executive
becoming  subject to the  imposition  of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the
Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended,  then the amount of payments  made
hereunder  shall be reduced to an amount  which  would  maximize  the  after-tax
payments to the Executive of such amount.  The  determination  of such reduction
amount,  if any, shall be made by the Executive,  with the advice of Executive's
tax or financial advisor.

         9. Executive expressly agrees, as further consideration hereof and as a
condition to the performance by the Corporation and its subsidiary  companies of
their  obligations  hereunder,  that while  employed by the  Corporation  or its
subsidiary companies and (1) during a period of six months following termination
of his  employment,  and (2)  only in the  event  that  Executive  is  receiving
severance  payments  and/or  benefits  under  Paragraph  7(b) during the further
period  commencing on the day following  such  six-month  period and  continuing
until the last day of the  Severance  Period,  Executive  will not  directly  or
indirectly  render advisory  services to or become employed by or participate or
engage in any business materially  competitive with any of the businesses of the
Corporation and its subsidiary  companies  (Executive hereby  acknowledging that
Executive has had access in his executive capacity to material information about
all of the Corporation's businesses) without first obtaining the written consent
of the  Corporation.  The period of  non-competition  established  in clause (2)
above may be shortened,  at the election of the Executive evidenced by a written
relinquishment  satisfactory  to the  Corporation,  of any  remaining  right  to
severance payments under this Agreement,  to a period ending on the last date as
of which such severance payments are earned.

         10.  Executive  agrees  that,  both  during  and after  his  employment
hereunder,  he will not disclose to any person unless authorized to do so by the
Corporation,  any of the Corporation's  trade secrets or other information which
is confidential or secret. Trade secrets or confidential  information shall mean
information  which has not been made available by the Corporation to the public,
including  but not limited to strategic  and business  plans,  product or market
development studies, plans or surveys; designs and patterns;  inventions, secret
processes  and  developments;  any cost data,  including  labor costs,  material
costs, and any data that is a factor in costs; price, source or utilization data
on raw materials, fibers, machinery, equipment and other manufacturing supplies;
technical  improvements,  designs,  procedures  and  methods  developed  by  the
Corporation;  any data  pertaining  to sales  volume by  location  or by product
category;  customer  lists;  production  methods  other than those  licensed  by
outside companies;  compensation  practices;  and profitability,  margins, asset
values, or other information relating to financial statements.

           Executive acknowledges that the disclosure of the Corporation's trade
secrets or confidential  information to unauthorized  persons would constitute a
clear  threat to the  business of the  Corporation,  and that the failure of the
Executive  to  abide  by the  terms  of  Paragraphs  9 and 10 will  entitle  the
Corporation  to exercise any or all  remedies  available to it in law or equity,
including  without  limitation,  an  injunction  prohibiting  a breach  of these
provisions or suit for restitution.

         11. The following  capitalized  terms used in this Agreement shall have
the meanings set forth below:

             (i)  "Severance  Policy"  means the policy  providing for severance

             (ii) A termination  for "Cause"  means a termination  of employment
with the  Corporation or any of the  subsidiaries  or joint ventures  which,  as
determined  by the  Corporation,  is by  reason  of (A)  the  commission  by the
Executive of a felony or a  perpetration  by the  Executive of a dishonest  act,
material  misrepresentation  or common law fraud against the  Corporation or any
subsidiary,  joint  venture  or other  affiliate  thereof,  (B) any other act or
omission which is injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of

or benefit  plans  affecting all  executives)  of the  Corporation  in a similar
manner,  (C) unless agreed to by Executive,  the  assignment to the Executive of
duties   inconsistent  with  the  Executive's   position  as  such  duties  were
immediately  prior to such  assignment  which  results in a  diminution  of such
position,  authority,  duties  or  responsibilities,  or  (D) a  change  in  the
employment  requirements of Executive which, in the view of the Compensation and
Benefits Committee of the Corporation's  Board of Directors,  subjects Executive
to an unfair change of circumstances.

             (iv)  "Severance  Period" shall mean, for the purposes of Paragraph
7, the one  year  period  commencing  on the  date of  termination,  and for the

Corporation immediately prior to such sale or transfer;

               (C) If during any period of two  consecutive  years,  individuals
who  at the  beginning  of any  such  period  constitute  the  Directors  of the
Corporation  cease for any reason to  constitute  at least a  majority  thereof,
unless  the  election,  or the  nomination  for  election  by the  Corporation's
stockholders,  of each Director of the  Corporation  first  elected  during such
period was  approved by a vote of at least  two-thirds  of the  Directors of the
Corporation  then still in office who were  Directors of the  Corporation at the
beginning of any such period.

         12. Any notice to be given by Executive  hereunder shall be sent to the

                       EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT (the Agreement) is being made as of the 15th
day of October 1999 between DATA BROADCASTING CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation (the Company), having its principal offices
at 3490 Clubhouse Drive, Jackson, Wyoming 83001, and STEVEN G.
CRANE (the Executive), an individual residing at 191 West End
Avenue, Ridgewood, New Jersey  07450.

                            WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive and the
Executive desires to be employed by the Company as its Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer upon the terms and
conditions contained herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and
agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.  Nature of Employment; Term of Employment.  The Company
hereby employs the Executive and the Executive agrees to serve
the Company, upon the terms and conditions contained herein, for
a term commencing no later than November 30, 1999 (the Effective
Date) and continuing until June 30, 2002 (the Employment Term);
provided, however, that the Employment Term shall be extended to
June 30, 2003 if, prior to December 31, 2000, a Change in Control
(as defined in Section 8 of this Agreement) shall occur.

     2.  Duties and Powers as Employee.  During the Employment
Term, the Executive shall be employed by the Company as its
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  The
Executive shall be responsible for finance and administration.
The Executive shall be based in the New York Metropolitan Area.
The Executive agrees to devote his full time and efforts to the
performance of his duties under this Agreement.  In the
performance of his duties, the Executive shall be subject to the
direction of and shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company. The Executive shall be available to travel as the
needs of the business require.

     3.  Compensation.

        (a)  As compensation for his services hereunder, the
Company shall pay the Executive, during the Employment Term, a
base salary (the Base Salary) payable in equal semi-monthly
installments at the minimum annual rate of $300,000 through June
30, 2001 and $325,000 for the period July 1, 2001 through the
<PAGE>
expiration of the Employment Term.  Such payments shall be
subject to withholding of all taxes payable with respect thereto
and deductions for insurance contributions and the like.
Additionally, the Executive shall participate in the present or
future employee benefit plans of the Company provided that he
meets the eligibility requirements therefor.

        (b)  In addition to the Base Salary provided herein
Executive is eligible for a performance bonus payment (the
Bonus), on an annual basis, in a sum equal to up to 100% of the
Executive's Base Salary paid for the fiscal year then ended.  The
Company and Executive acknowledge that the expected Bonus in each
fiscal year is 50% of Base Salary paid (the Target Bonus).  One
half of the Bonus shall be determined in the absolute and sole
discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company based upon an evaluation of the
performance of the Executive and the Company during the previous
fiscal year.  One half of such Bonus shall be based upon
financial criteria established at the commencement of each fiscal
year during the Employment Term.  For the Company's fiscal year
ended June 30, 2000, such Bonus shall be no less than 50% of the
Base Salary paid to the Executive during such fiscal year.  To
the extent that the Company determines to pay the Bonus to the
Executive, the Bonus shall be paid to the Executive within ninety
(90) days after the end of the Company's fiscal year
notwithstanding that such date may be after the expiration of the
Employment Term.

        (c)  Effective as of the date of this Agreement, the
Company shall issue to the Executive a non-qualified stock option
to acquire 120,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  In
addition, effective upon the first anniversary of the date of
this Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Executive a
nonqualified stock option to acquire 60,000 shares of common
stock of the Company.  Each such option shall vest over a period
of three years and shall have an exercise price equal to the
market price on the date of grant.

        (d)  In the event the Executive's present employer
requests him to repay a loan given to him in connection with his
relocation to the New York Metropolitan Area, the Company shall
pay the Executive a one time starting bonus equal to the amount
of such loan, but no greater than $25,000.

     4.  Expenses; Vacations.  The Executive shall be entitled to
reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket
expenses necessarily incurred in the performance of his duties
hereunder, upon submission and approval of written statements and
bills in accordance with the then regular procedures of the
<PAGE>
Company.  The Executive shall be entitled to reasonable vacation
time in accordance with then regular procedures of the Company
governing executives as determined from time to time by the
Company's Board of Directors but in no event less than twenty
days per year.

     5.  Representations and Warranties of Employee.  The
Executive represents and warrants to the Company that (a) he is
under no contractual or other restriction or obligation which is
inconsistent with the execution of this Agreement, the
performance of his duties hereunder, or the other rights of the
Company hereunder; and (b) he is under no physical or mental
disability that, with or without reasonable accommodation, would
hinder his performance of duties under this Agreement.

     6.  Non-Competition.  The Executive agrees that he will not
(a) during the period he is employed under this Agreement engage
in, or otherwise directly or indirectly be employed by, or act as
a consultant or lender to, be a director, officer, employee,
owner, or partner of, any other business or organization that is
or shall then be competing with the Company, and (b) for a period
of two (2) years after he ceases to be employed by the Company
under this Agreement, directly or indirectly compete with or be
engaged in the same business as the Company, or be employed by,
or act as consultant or lender to, or be a director, officer,
employee, owner, or partner of, any business or organization
which at the time of such cessation, competes with or is engaged
in the same business as the Company, except that in each case the
provisions of this Section 6 will not be deemed breached merely
because the Executive owns not more than five percent (5.0%) of
the outstanding common stock of a corporation, if, at the time of
its acquisition by the Executive, such stock is listed on a
national securities exchange, is reported on NASDAQ, or is
regularly traded in the over-the-counter market by a member of
national securities exchange.

     7.  Confidential Information.  All confidential information
which the Executive may now possess, may obtain during the
Employment Term, or may create prior to the end of the period he
is employed by the Company under this Agreement, relating to the
business of the Company or of any customer or supplier of the
Company shall not be published, disclosed, or made accessible by
him to any other person, form, or corporation during the
Employment Term or any time thereafter without the prior written
consent of the Company.  The Executive shall return all tangible
evidence of such confidential information to the Company prior to
or at the termination of his employment.

     8.  Termination; Change in Control.
<PAGE>
        (a)  Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding anything
herein contained, if on or after the date hereof and prior to the
end of the Employment Term, the Executive is terminated For Cause
(as defined below), then the Company shall have the right to give
notice of termination of Executive's services hereunder as of a
date to be specified in such notice, and this Agreement shall
terminate on the date so specified.   Termination For Cause shall

        (b)  Disability.  In the event that the Executive shall
be physically or mentally incapacitated or disabled or otherwise
unable fully to discharge his duties hereunder, with or without
reasonable accommodation, for a period of six months, then this
Agreement shall terminate upon 90 days written notice to the
Executive.

        (c)  Death.  In the event that the Executive shall die,
then this Agreement shall terminate on the date of the
Executive's death.

        (d)  Change in Control.

at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office
who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose
<PAGE>
election or nomination for election was previously so approved,
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof;

                  (C)  the stockholders of the Company approve a
merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
corporation, other than (1) a merger or consolidation that would
result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
securities of the surviving or parent entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation or (2) a merger or
consolidation effect to implement a recapitalization of the
Company (or similar transaction) in which no person as

                  (D)  the stockholders of the Company approve a
plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for
the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially
all of the Company's assets (or any transaction having a similar

        (e)  Effect of Termination or Change in Control.

          (i)  In the event that this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 8(a), then the Executive shall be entitled to
receive only his Base Salary at the rate provided in Section 3 to
the date on which termination shall take effect.

          (ii)  In the event that this Agreement is terminated by
the Company pursuant to Section 8(b) or 8(c), then the Executive,
or the Executive's beneficiary (as the case may be), shall be
entitled to receive his Base Salary at the rate provided in
Section 3 to the date on which termination shall take together
with a lump sum distribution (with no present value adjustment)
equal to the Base Salary at the rate provided in Section 3 for a
period of six months. In such event then the Executive's issued
but unvested options shall vest immediately upon such
termination.  The Executive, or the Executive's beneficiary (as
the case may be), shall have the right to exercise any stock
option for a period of one year following the date of
termination, but in no event beyond the expiration date of any
such option.

          (iii)  In the event that this Agreement is terminated
by the Company for any reason other than pursuant to Section
8(a), (b) or (c), then the Executive, or the Executive's
beneficiary (as the case may be), shall be entitled to receive
his Base Salary at the rate provided in Section 3 to the date on
<PAGE>
which termination shall take effect together with a lump sum
distribution (with no present value adjustment) equal to the Base
Salary and Target Bonus at the rate provided in Section 3 for a
period of the greater of one year or the balance of the
Employment Term. In the case of a Change in Control, any of the
Executive's issued but unvested options shall vest immediately
upon such Change in Control.  The Executive, or the Executive's
beneficiary (as the case may be), shall have the right to
exercise any stock option for a period of one year following the
date of termination, but in no event beyond the expiration date
of any such option.  In addition, in such case the two (2) year
period described in Section 6(b) of this Agreement shall be
reduced to one (1) year.

        (f)   Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed
to limit any other right the Company may have to terminate
Employee's employment hereunder upon any ground permitted by law.

     9.  Change of Control.

In the event of a future disposition of (or including) the
properties and business of the Company, substantially as an
entirety, by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or otherwise,
the Company shall assign this letter and all of its rights and
obligations hereunder to the acquiring or surviving corporation,
such corporation shall assume in writing all of the obligations
of the Company, and the Company (in the event and so long as it
remains in business as an independent going enterprise) shall
remain liable for the performance of its obligations hereunder in
the event of an unjustified failure of the acquiring corporation
to perform its obligations under this letter.

     10.  Survival.  The covenants, agreements, representations,
and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement
shall survive the Executive's termination of employment,
irrespective of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
party.

     11.  Modification.  This Agreement sets forth the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof, terminates and supersedes all existing agreements
(written, oral or otherwise) between them concerning such subject
matter, and may be modified only by a written instrument duly
executed by each party.  The Executive acknowledges that no other
representations, oral or written, have been made regarding the
subject matter hereof, other than those explicitly provided
herein.  The Executive further acknowledges that he has not
relied on any oral or written representations not explicitly
contained herein in executing this Agreement.

receipt thereof.

     13.  Waiver.  Any waiver by either party of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed
to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any
breach of any other provision of this Agreement.  The failure of
a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this
Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a
waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist
upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this
Agreement.  Any waiver must be in writing.

     14.  Binding Effect.  The Executive's rights and obligations
under this Agreement shall not be transferable by assignment or
otherwise, such rights shall not be subject to encumbrance or the
claims of the Executive's creditors, and any attempt to do any of
the foregoing shall be void.  The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Executive
and his heirs and personal representatives, and shall be binding

and those who are its assigns under Section 9.

deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.  It shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Wyoming,
