against it in accordance with its terms.

                           (b) The Executive represents and warrants that he
is not a party to any agreement or instrument which would prevent him from
entering into or performing his duties in any way under this Agreement.

                  12. ASSIGNMENT; BINDING AGREEMENT.  This Agreement is a
personal contract and the rights and interests of the Executive hereunder may

                                     4
<PAGE>

transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated by him, except as
otherwise expressly permitted by the provisions of this Agreement. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive
and his personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive

Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided
herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to his
devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to his
estate.

                  13. CONFIDENTIALITY; NON-COMPETITION; OWNERSHIP OF WORKS.

                           (a)  Executive acknowledges that: (i) the Business
is intensely competitive and that Executive's employment by the Company will
require that Executive have access to and knowledge of confidential
information of the Company, including, but not limited to, the identity of
the Company's customers, the identity of the representatives of customers
with whom the Company has dealt, the kinds of services provided by the
Company to customers and offered to be performed for potential customers, the
manner in which such services are performed or offered to be performed, the
service needs of actual or prospective customers, pricing information,
information concerning the creation, acquisition, or disposition of products
and services, creative ideas and concepts, computer software applications and
other programs, research data, personnel information and other trade secrets
(the "Confidential Information"); (ii) the direct or indirect disclosure of
any such Confidential Information would place the Company at a competitive
disadvantage and would do damage, monetary or otherwise, to the Company's
business; and (iii) the engaging by Executive in any of the activities
prohibited by this Section 13 may constitute improper appropriation and/or
use of such Confidential Information. Executive expressly acknowledges the
trade secret status of the Confidential Information and that the Confidential
Information constitutes a protectable business interest of the Company.
Accordingly, the Company and Executive agree as follows:

                           (b) For purposes of this Section 13, the Company
shall be construed to include the Company and its parents and subsidiaries
engaged in the Business, including any divisions managed by Executive.

                           (c) During Executive's employment with the
Company, and at all times after the termination of Executive's employment by
expiration of the Term or otherwise, Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, whether individually, as a director, stockholder, owner, partner,
employee, principal, or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, make
known, disclose, furnish, make available, or utilize any of the

                                     5
<PAGE>

Confidential Information, other than in the proper performance of the duties
contemplated herein, or as expressly permitted herein, or as required by a
court of competent jurisdiction or other administrative or legislative body;
PROVIDED THAT, prior to disclosing any of the Confidential Information as
required by a court or other administrative or legislative body, Executive
shall promptly notify the Company so that the Company may seek a protective
order or other appropriate remedy. Executive agrees to return all documents
or other materials containing Confidential Information, including all
photocopies, extracts and summaries thereof, and any such information stored
electronically on tapes, computer disks or in any other manner, to the
Company at any time upon request by the Company and immediately upon the
termination of his employment for any reason.

                           (d) During Executive's employment with the
Company, Executive shall not engage in "Competition" with the Company. For
purposes of this Agreement, Competition by Executive shall mean Executive's
engaging in, or otherwise directly or indirectly being employed by or acting
as a consultant or lender to, or being a director, officer, employee,
principal, agent, stockholder, member, owner or partner of, or permitting his
name to be used in connection with the activities of, any other business or
organization anywhere in the Western Hemisphere which competes, directly or
indirectly, with the Business of the Company.

                           (e) For a period of two (2) years following the
termination of Executive's employment, whether upon expiration of the Term or
otherwise, Executive shall not engage in Competition, as defined above, with
the Company in any locality or region of the Western Hemisphere in which the
Company had operations at the time of, or within six (6) months prior to,
Executive's termination, or in which, during the six (6) month period prior
to Executive's termination, the Company had made substantial plans with the
intention of establishing operations in such locality or region; PROVIDED
THAT, it shall not be a violation of this sub-paragraph for Executive to
become the registered or beneficial owner of up to one percent (1%) of any
class of the capital stock of a competing corporation registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided that Executive does not
actively participate in the business of such corporation until such time as
this covenant expires.

                           (f) For a period of two (2) years after he ceases
to be employed hereunder by the Company, whether upon expiration of the Term
or otherwise, Executive agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, for
his benefit or for the benefit of any other person, firm or entity, do any of
the following:

                                     6
<PAGE>

                                    i  solicit from any customer doing business
         with the Company as of Executive's termination, business of the same or
         of a similar nature to the business of the Company with such customer;

                                    ii solicit from any known potential customer
         of the Company business of the same or of a similar nature to that
         which has been the subject of a known written or oral bid, offer, or
         proposal by the Company, or of substantial preparation with a view to
         making such a bid, proposal, or offer, within six (6) months prior to
         Executive's termination;

                                    iii  recruit or solicit the employment or
         services of, or hire, any person who was known to be employed by the
         Company upon termination of Executive's employment, or within six (6)
         months prior thereto; or

                                    iv otherwise knowingly interfere with the
         business or accounts of the Company.

                           (g) The Executive will make full and prompt
disclosure to the Company of all inventions, improvements, formulas, data,
programs, processes, ideas, concepts, discoveries, methods, developments,
software, and works of authorship, whether or not copyrightable,
trademarkable, or patentable, which are created, made, conceived, or reduced
to practice by the Executive, either alone, under his direction or jointly
with others during the period of his employment with the Company, whether or
not during normal working hours or on the premises of the Company, which (i)
relate to the actual or anticipated business, activities, or research of the
Company, or (ii) result from or are suggested by work performed by the
Executive for the Company, or (iii) result, to any extent, from use of the
Company's premises or property (all of which are collectively referred to in
this Agreement as "Works"). All Works shall be the sole property of the
Company, and, to the extent that the Company is not already considered the
owner thereof as a matter of law, the Executive hereby assigns to the
Company, without further compensation, all his right, title, and interest in
and to such Works and any and all related intellectual property rights
(including, but not limited to, patents, patent applications, copyrights,
copyright applications, and trademarks) in the Western Hemisphere and
elsewhere. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not apply to
any invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret
information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on the
Executive's own time, unless: (A) the invention relates (X) to the Business
of the Company, or (Y) to the Company's actual demonstratively anticipated
research or development; or (B) the invention results from any work performed
by the Executive for the Company.

                                     7
<PAGE>

                           (h) Executive acknowledges that the services to be
rendered by him to the Company are of a special and unique character, which
gives this Agreement a peculiar value to the Company, the loss of which may
not be reasonably or adequately compensated for by damages in an action at
law, and that a breach or threatened breach by him of any of the provisions
contained in this Section 13 will cause the Company irreparable injury.
Executive therefore agrees that the Company shall be entitled, in addition to
any other right or remedy, to a temporary, preliminary, and permanent
injunction, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary
damages or the posting of any bond or security, enjoining or restraining
Executive from any such violation or threatened violations.

                  (i) Executive further acknowledges and agrees that due to
the uniqueness of his services and confidential nature of the information he
will possess, the covenants set forth herein are reasonable and necessary for
the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company.

                  (j) If any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall be held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, or
subject, such provisions shall be construed by limiting and reducing them so
as to be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                  14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains all the
understandings between the parties hereto pertaining to the matters referred
to herein, and supersedes any other undertakings and agreements, whether oral
or in writing, previously entered into by them with respect thereto. The
Executive represents that, in executing this Agreement, he does not rely and
has not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth herein made
by the Company with regard to the subject matter or effect of this Agreement
or otherwise.

                  15. AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION, WAIVER. No provision of this
Agreement may be amended or waived, unless such amendment or waiver is agreed
to in writing, signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized officer of
the Company. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach by another party
hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by
such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar
condition or provision at the same time, any prior time, or any subsequent
time.

                                  MCII COMPANY

                       KEY MANAGEMENT CASH INCENTIVE PLAN

1.       Rewards for achievement of EBITDA ($112M) and Working Capital
         Improvement Targets (Approx. $60M)

2.       All members' rewards depend largely upon realizing MCII total Company
         EBITDA plan.

3.       Corporate executives without direct operating responsibility for any
         specific Business Unit (BU) solely depend upon meeting the MCII Company
         plan.

4.       Business Unit managers earn a bonus from BU plan achievement and from
         MCII Company plan realization.

5.       Each member has a Target % of base salary in effect at inception of
         plan. Target percentages range from 20% (sales administration,
         accounting, distribution center) to 100% (CEO, COO, CFO, VP-Marketing,
         VP-Customer Support Business). The stated target percent is applicable
         at 100% of EBITDA plan achievement. A multiplier is applicable to the
         Target % (1.0 at 100% achievement of plan); for under or over plan
         performance, the multiplier leverages incentive payout for performance
         above target (> 1.0), up to a maximum of 2.0 and provides for reduced
         payout (< 1.0) or no payout for off-target performance. See attached
         graph.

6.       In the event that a business unit makes its EBITDA plan, but the
         consolidated MCII performance falls short of the "Bonus Zone", the BU
         manager can still qualify for the portion of the bonus target
         attributable to BU performance. The amount earned from Company vs. BU
         EBITDA realization is defined by individuals as part of the plan
         document.

         There are a few exceptions from the focus on BU EBITDA. Managers of
         the public transit business will be measured by New Jersey Transit
         milestone achievement and MCII Company performance. The Purchasing
         Group's measurement base will consist of supplier related
         performance, quantified by Purchase Price Variance and Payable
         Terms, in addition to the MCII Company plan performance.

7.       A number of sales and sales administration plan participants will be
         transitioned during the year 2000, from sales-based commissions to the
         profit-driven incentive plan.

8.       The CEO, COO, CFO, Corporate Controller, Treasurer and Business Unit
         leaders will have a portion of their bonus (up to 20%) dependent upon
         meeting working capital improvements in accordance with plan, expressed
         in terms of Receivable DSO and Inventory Turns reduction.

9.       There will be 55 bonus plan members. With the exception of the General
         Manager, key managers of the Mexican operations will be either on a
         local plan or added to this plan, after an in-depth review of local
         compensation levels and practices. At 100% EBITDA Plan achievement
         ($112M), the payout will be $3.7M company-wide, or 3.3% of the EBITDA
         plan. Relative to accomplishing the $172M combined EBITDA and working
         capital targets, the incentives at 100% plan realization amount to
         2.2%.
