its Affiliates, including without any limitation all personal notes, drawings,
manuals, documents, photographs, or the like, including copies and derivatives
thereof, relating directly or indirectly to any confidential information or
materials or New Developments, or relating directly or indirectly to the
business of Employer or any of its Affiliates.

10. Remedies.

         A. Employer and Employee hereby acknowledge and agree that the services
rendered by Employee to Employer, the information disclosed to Employee during
and by virtue of Employee's employment, and Employee's commitments and
obligations to Employer and its

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

Affiliates herein are of a special, unique and extraordinary character, and that
the breach of any provision of this Agreement by Employee will cause Employer
irreparable injury and damage, and consequently the Employer shall be entitled
to, in addition to all other remedies available to it, injunctive and equitable
relief to prevent a breach of Sections 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of this Agreement and
to secure the enforcement of this Agreement.

         B. Except as provided in Section 10.A, the parties agree to submit to
final and binding arbitration any dispute, claim or controversy, whether for
breach of this Agreement or for violation of any of Employee's statutorily
created or protected rights, arising between the parties that either party would
have been otherwise entitled to file or pursue in court or before any
administrative agency (herein "claim"), and waives all right to sue the other
party.

                  (i) This agreement to arbitrate and any resulting arbitration
award are enforceable under and subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9
U.S.C.ss. 1 et seq. ("FAA"). If the FAA is held not to apply for any reason then
Ohio Revised Code Chapter 2711 regarding the enforceability of arbitation
agreements and awards will govern this Agreement and the arbitration award.

                  (ii) (a) All of a party's claims must be presented at a single
arbitration hearing. Any claim not raised at the arbitration hearing is waived
and released. The arbitration hearing will take place in Cincinnati, Ohio.

                  (b) The arbitration process will be governed by the Employment
Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") except
to the extent they are modified by this Agreement.

                  (c) Employee has had an opportunity to review the AAA rules
and the requirements that Employee must pay a filing fee for which the Employer
has agreed to split on an equal basis.

                  (d) The arbitrator will be selected from a panel of
arbitrators chosen by the AAA in White Plains, New York. After the filing of a
Request for Arbitration, the AAA will send simultaneously to Employer and
Employee an identical list of names of five persons chosen from the panel. Each
party will have 10 days from the transmittal date in which to strike up to two
names, number the remaining names in order of preference and return the list to
the AAA.

                  (e) Any pre-hearing disputes will be presented to the
arbitrator for expeditious, final and binding resolution.

                  (f) The award of the arbitrator will be in writing and will
set forth each issue considered and the arbitrator's finding of fact and
conclusions of law as to each such issue.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

                  (g) The remedy and relief that may be granted by the
arbitrator to Employee are limited to lost wages, benefits, cease and desist and
affirmative relief, compensatory, liquidated and punitive damages and reasonable
attorney's fees, and will not include reinstatement or promotion. If the
arbitrator would have awarded reinstatement or promotion, but for the
prohibition in this Agreement, the arbitrator may award front pay. The
arbitrator may assess to either party, or split, the arbitrator's fee and
expenses and the cost of the transcript, if any, in accordance with the
arbitrator's determination of the merits of each party's position, but each
party will bear any cost for its witnesses and proof.

                  (h) Employer and Employee recognize that a primary benefit
each derives from arbitration is avoiding the delay and costs normally
associated with litigation. Therefore, neither party will be entitled to conduct
any discovery prior to the arbitration hearing except that: (i) Employer will
furnish Employee with copies of all non-privileged documents in Employee's
personnel file; (ii) if the claim is for discharge, Employee will furnish
Employer with records of earnings and benefits relating to Employee's subsequent
employment (including self-employment) and all documents relating to Employee's
efforts to obtain subsequent employment; (iii) the parties will exchange copies
of all documents they intend to introduce as evidence at the arbitration hearing
at least 10 days prior to such hearing; (iv) Employee will be allowed (at
Employee's expenses) to take the depositions, for a period not to exceed four
hours each, of two representatives of Employer, and Employer will be allowed (at
its expense) to depose Employee for a period not to exceed four hours; and (v)
Employer or Employee may ask the arbitrator to grant additional discovery to the
extent permitted by AAA rules upon a showing that such discovery is necessary.

                  (i) Nothing herein will prevent either party from taking the
deposition of any witness where the sole purpose for taking the deposition is to
use the deposition in lieu of the witness testifying at the hearing and the
witness is, in good faith, unavailable to testify in person at the hearing due
to poor health, residency and employment more than 50 miles from the hearing
site, conflicting travel plans or other comparable reason.

                  (j) Arbitration must be requested in writing no later than 6
months from the date of the party's knowledge of the matter disputed by the
claim. A party's failure to initiate arbitration within the time limits herein
will be considered a waiver and release by that party with respect to any claim
subject to arbitration under this Agreement.

                  (k) Employer and Employee consent that judgment upon the
arbitration award may be entered in any federal or state court that has
jurisdiction.

                  (l) Except as provided in Section 10.A., neither party will
commence or pursue any litigation on any claim that is or was subject to
arbitration under this Agreement.

                  (m) All aspects of any arbitration procedure under this
Agreement, including the hearing and the record of the proceedings, are
confidential and will not be open to the public, except to the extent the
parties agree otherwise in writing, or as may be appropriate in any subsequent
proceedings between the parties, or as may otherwise be appropriate in response
to a governmental agency or legal process.

11. Covenant Not to Compete. For purposes of this Section 11 only, the term
"Employer" shall mean, collectively, Employer and each of its Affiliates. During
the one year period following termination of Employee's employment with Employer
for any reason (or if this period is unenforceable by law, then for such period
as shall be enforceable) Employee will not engage in any business offering
services related to the current business of Employer, whether as a principal,
partner, joint venture, agent, employee, salesman, consultant, director or
officer, where such position would involve Employee in any business activity in
competition with Employer. This restriction will be limited to the geographical
area where Employer is then engaged in such competing business activity or to
such other geographical area as a court shall find reasonably necessary to
protect the goodwill and business of the Employer.

         During the one-year period following termination of Employee's
employment with Employer for any reason (or if this period is unenforceable by
law, then for such period as shall be enforceable) Employee will not interfere
with or adversely affect, either directly or indirectly, Employer's
relationships with any person, firm, association, corporation or other entity
which is known by Employee to be, or is included on any listing to which
Employee had access during the course of employment as a customer, client,
supplier, consultant or employee f Employer and that Employee will not divert or
change, or attempt to divert or change, any such relationship to the detriment
of Employer or to the benefit of any other person, firm, association,
corporation or other entity.

         During the one-year period following termination of Employee's
employment with Employer for any reason (or if this period is unenforceable by
law, then for such period as shall be enforceable) Employee shall not , without
the prior written consent of Employer, accept employment, as an employee,
consultant, or otherwise, with any company or entity which is a customer or
supplier of Employer at any time during the final year f Employee's employment
with Employer.

         Employee will not, during or at any time within three years after the
termination of Employee's employment with Employer, induce or seek to induce,
any other employee of Employer to terminate his or her employment relationship
with Employer.

12. Goodwill. Employee will not disparage Employer or any of its Affiliates in
any way which could adversely affect the goodwill, reputation and business
relationships of Employer or any of its Affiliates with the public generally, or
with any of their customers, suppliers or employees. Employer will not disparage
Employee.

13. Termination.

         A. (i) Employer or Employee may terminate this Agreement upon
Employee's failure or inability to perform the services required hereunder
because of any physical or mental infirmity for which Employee receives
disability benefits under any disability benefit plans made available to
Employee by Employer (the "Disability Plans/), over a period of one hundred
twenty consecutive working days during any twelve consecutive month period (a
"Terminating Disability").

                  (ii) If Employer or Employee elects to terminate this
Agreement in the event of a Terminating Disability, such termination shall be
effective immediately upon the giving of written notice by the terminating party
to the other.

                  (iii) Upon termination of this Agreement on account of
Terminating disability, Employer shall pay Employee Employee's accrued
compensation hereunder, whether Base Salary, Bonus or otherwise (subject to
offset for any amounts received pursuant to the disability Plans), to the date
of termination. For as long as such Terminating Disability may exist, Employee
shall continue to be an employee of Employer for all other purposes and Employer
shall provide Employee with disability benefits and all other benefits according
to the provisions of the Disability Plans and any other Employer plans in which
Employee is then participating.

                  (iv) If the parties elect not to terminate this Agreement upon
an event of a Terminating Disability and Employee returns to active employment
with Employer prior to such a termination, or if such disability exists for less
than one hundred twenty consecutive working days, the provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

B. This Agreement terminates immediately and automatically on the death of the
Employee, provided, however, that the Employee's estate shall be paid Employee's
accrued compensation hereunder, whether Base Salary, Bonus or otherwise, to the
date of death.

C. Employer may terminate this Agreement immediately, upon written notice to
Employee, for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, Employer shall have "Cause"
to terminate this Agreement only if Employer's Board of Directors determines
that there has been fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement on the part of
Employee.

D. Employer may terminate this Agreement immediately, upon written notice to
Employee, for any reason other than those set forth in Sections 13.A., B. and
C.; provided, however, that Employer shall have no right to terminate under this
Section 13.D. within one year after a Change in Control. In the event of a
termination by Employer under this Section 13.D., Employer shall, within five
days after the termination, pay Employee an amount equal to one times the sum of
the annual Base Salary rate in effect at the time of termination plus the Bonus
target in effect at the time of termination. For the remainder of the Current
Term, Employer

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

shall continue to provide Employee with medical, dental, vision and life
insurance coverage comparable to the medical, dental, vision and life insurance
coverage in effect for Employee immediately prior to the termination; and, to
the extent that Employee would have been eligible for any post-retirement
medical, dental, vision or life insurance benefits from Employer if Employee had
continued in employment through the end of the Current Term, Employer shall
provide such post-retirement benefits to Employee after the end of the Current
Term. For purposes of any stock option or restricted stock grant outstanding
immediately prior to the termination, Employee's employment with Employer shall
not be deemed to have terminated until the end of the Current Term. In addition,
Employee shall be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable after termination,
an amount equal to the sum of (i) any forfeitable benefits under any qualified
or nonqualified pension, profit sharing, 401(k) or deferred compensation plan of
Employer or any Affiliate which would have vested prior to the end of the
Current Term if Employee's employment had not terminated plus (ii) if Employee
is participating in a qualified or nonqualified defined benefit plan of Employer
or any Affiliate at the time of termination, an amount equal to the present
value of the additional vested benefits which would have accrued for Employee
under such plan if Employee's employment had not terminated prior to the end of
the Current Term and if Employee's annual Base Salary and Bonus target had
neither increased nor decreased after the termination. For purposes of this
Section 13.D., "Current Term" means the one year period beginning at the time of
termination. For purposes of this Section 13.D. and Section 13.E., "Change in
Control" means a change in control as defined in Employer's 1997 Long Term
Incentive Plan.

         E. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event that there
is a Change in Control and Employee's employment with Employer is actually or
constructively terminated by Employer within one year after the Change in
Control for any reason other than those set forth in Sections 13.A., B. and C.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, a "constructive" termination of
Employee's employment shall be deemed to have occurred if, without Employee's
consent, there is a material reduction in Employee's authority or
responsibilities or if there is a reduction in Employee's Base Salary or Bonus
target from the amount in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or
if Employee is required by Employer to relocate from the city where Employee is
residing immediately prior to the Change in Control. In the event of a
termination under this Section 13.E., Employer shall pay Employee an amount
equal to one times the sum of the annual Base Salary rate in effect at the time
of termination plus the Bonus target in effect at the time of termination, all
stock options shall become immediately exercisable (and Employee shall be
afforded the opportunity to exercise them). For the remainder of the Current
Term, Employer shall continue to provide Employee with medical, dental, vision
and life insurance coverage comparable to the medical, dental, vision and life
insurance coverage in effect for Employee immediately prior to the termination;
and, to the extent that Employee would have been eligible for any
post-retirement medical, dental, vision or life insurance benefits from Employer
if Employee had continued in employment through the end of the Current Term,
Employer shall provide such post-retirement benefits to Employee after the end
of the Current Term. Employee's accrued benefit under any nonqualified pension
or deferred compensation plan maintained by Employer or any Affiliate shall
become immediately

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

vested and nonforfeitable and Employee also shall be entitled to receive a
payment equal to the sum of (i) any forfeitable benefits under any qualified
pension or profit sharing or 40l(k) plan maintained by Employer or any Affiliate
plus (ii) if Employee is participating in a qualified or nonqualified defined
benefit plan of Employer or any Affiliate at the time of termination, an amount
equal to the present value of the additional benefits which would have accrued
for Employee under such plan if Employee's employment had not terminated prior
to the end of the Current Term and if Employee's annual Base Salary and Bonus
target had neither increased nor decreased after the termination. Finally, to
the extent that Employee is deemed to have received an excess parachute payment
by reason of the Change in Control, Employer shall pay Employee an additional
sum sufficient to pay (i) any taxes imposed under section 4999 of the code plus
(ii) any federal, state and local taxes applicable to any taxes imposed under
section 4999 of the Code. For purposes of this Section 13.E., "Current Term"
means the one year period beginning at the time of termination.

         F. Employee may resign upon 60 days' prior written notice to Employer.
In the event of a resignation under this Section 13.F., this Agreement shall
terminate and Employee shall be entitled to receive Employee's Base Salary
through the date of termination, any Bonus earned but not paid at the time of
termination and any other vested compensation or benefits called for under any
compensation plan or program of Employer.

         G. Upon termination of this Agreement as a result of an event of
termination described in this Section 13 and except for Employer's payment of
the required payments under this Section 13 (including any Base Salary accrued
through the date of termination, any Bonus earned for the year preceding the
year in which the termination occurs and any nonforfeitable amounts payable
under any employee plan), all further compensation under this Agreement shall
terminate.

         H. The termination of this Agreement shall not amend, alter or modify
the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12
hereof, the terms of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

14. Assignment. As this is an agreement for personal services involving a
relation of confidence and a trust between Employer and Employee, all rights and
duties of Employee arising under this Agreement, and the Agreement itself, are
non-assignable by Employee.

15. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement
shall be sufficient, if in writing, and if delivered personally or by certified
mail to Employee at Employee's place of residence as then recorded on the books
of Employer or to Employer at its principal office.

16. Waiver. No waiver or modification of this Agreement or the terms contained
herein shall be valid unless in writing and duly executed by the party to be
charged therewith. The waiver by

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other
party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by
such party.

17. Governing Law. This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Ohio.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to Employee's employment by Employer. There are no other
contracts, agreements or understandings, whether oral or written, existing
between them except as contained or referred to in this Agreement.

19. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is
held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality, or other enforceability shall not affect any other provisions
hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable provisions have never been contained herein.

20. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the requirements of Paragraph 14 above,
this Agreement shall be binding upon Employee, Employer and Employer's
successors and assigns.

21. Confidentiality of Agreement Terms. The terms of this Agreement shall be
held in strict confidence by Employee and shall not be disclosed by Employee to
anyone other than Employee's spouse, Employee's legal counsel, and Employee's
other advisors, unless required by law. Further, except as provided in the
preceding sentence, Employee shall not reveal the existence of this Agreement or
discuss its terms with any person (including but not limited to any employee of
Employer or its Affiliates) without the express authorization of the President
of Employer. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement have been disclosed
by Employer, in a public filing or otherwise, the confidentiality requirements
of this Section 21 shall no longer apply to such terms.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

         end of such paragraph (c), the following new text:

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
         Agreement, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all
         Revolving Credit Loans plus the Letter of Credit Exposure shall not
         exceed (A) $10,000,000 ($5,000,000 until such time (if any) as

         scheduled, as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, to be paid on
         October 15, 2000. The Borrower will use proceeds of Revolving Credit
         Loans solely to pay obligations which are then due and payable by
         the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries and the payment of which
         is not prohibited by the Loan Documents.

                  (d) ACQUISITION LOANS AND UK ACQUISITION LOANS. Paragraph (d)

         and restating the last two sentences of such paragraph (d) to read as
         follows:

                  as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and was further
                  reduced to zero as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date. From
                  and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, no Lender shall
                  be required to extend any Acquisition Loans hereunder.

                  (e) TERMINATION OF ACQUISITION LOAN COMMITMENTS AND UK
         ACQUISITION LOAN COMMITMENTS. Paragraph (d) of Section 4.2 of the
         Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read
         as follows:

                           (d) The Acquisition Loan Commitment of each Lender
                  with such a Commitment and the UK Acquisition Loan Commitment
                  of each Lender with such a Commitment shall terminate in their
                  entirety on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.

                  settlement, judgment or order related to or other resolution
                  of any claims related to the Lamsco Litigation. The Borrower
                  and its Subsidiaries will use any proceeds of the Lamsco
                  Litigation not required to be paid to the Lenders in the same
                  manner that proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans are required to
                  be used.
