                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

                  This Employment Agreement ( "Agreement"), is effective as of
January 21, 2002, between Combined Specialty Corporation, a Delaware corporation
( "Company"), and Dennis B. Reding ( "Executive").

                  WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive, and
Executive desires to be employed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth herein;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

                  1. EMPLOYMENT. The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive
and Executive hereby agrees to be employed upon the terms and subject to the
conditions contained in this Agreement. The term of employment of Executive
pursuant to this Agreement (the "Employment Period") shall commence effective as
of January 21, 2002 ( "Effective Date") and shall end on the fifth anniversary
of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 4 hereof.
The Employment Period will automatically be extended for additional twelve (12)
month period(s) unless Company or Executive provides written notice, not less
than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial Employment Period or
not less than three (3) months prior to the expiration of any extension period,
of that party's election to not extend the Employment Period.

                  2. POSITION AND DUTIES; RESPONSIBILITIES. (a) POSITION AND
DUTIES. Executive shall be employed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
reporting directly to the Board during the Employment Period and, subject to
approval of the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board") serve as Chairman of
the Board. During the Employment Period, Executive shall perform faithfully and
loyally and to the best of his abilities the duties assigned to him hereunder
and shall devote his full business time, attention and effort to the affairs of
the Company and its subsidiaries and shall use his best efforts to promote the
interests of the Company and its subsidiaries. Executive may engage in
charitable, civic or community activities and, with the prior approval of the
Board, may serve as a director of any other business corporation, provided that
(i) such activities or service do not interfere with his duties hereunder and
(ii) such other business corporation provides Executive with director and
officer insurance coverage which, in the opinion of the Board, is adequate under
the circumstances.

                  (b) RESPONSIBILITIES. Subject to the direction of the Board,
Executive shall have the authority and responsibility as provided in the By-laws
of the Company for the day-to-day operations of the Company. Executive shall
also perform such other duties (not inconsistent with the position of Chief
Executive Officer of the Company) on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries
as may from time to time be authorized or directed by the Board.

                  3. COMPENSATION. (a) BASE SALARY. During the Employment
Period, the Company shall pay to Executive a base salary at the rate of $750,000
per annum ("Base Salary"), payable in accordance with the Company's executive
payroll policy. Such Base Salary shall be subject to adjustment at the
discretion of the Board; provided, however, that the Base Salary shall in no
event be less than $750,000 per annum.

<Page>

                  (b) ANNUAL BONUS. During the Employment Period, Executive
shall participate in the annual incentive bonus plan for Senior Executives (the
"Senior Executive Plan") as may be adopted by the Board. Each such annual
incentive bonus shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Senior
Executive Plan, as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no such
annual incentive bonus shall exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of
Executive's Base Salary as in effect at the end of the calendar year to which
such annual incentive bonus relates; provided, further that, in the first
calendar year under this Agreement, such annual incentive bonus shall not be
less than seventy-five percent (75%) of Executive's Base Salary as then in
effect.

                  (c) REPLACEMENT BENEFITS. It is understood that Executive is
forfeiting certain benefits to which he would have been entitled from his former
employer if he had not entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, in an effort to
minimize the adverse impact of Executive's lost benefits, within three business
days following the Effective Date the Company shall make a lump sum payment to
Executive of Six Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($675,000). If Executive
voluntarily resigns his employment to return to his former employer within 90
days following the Effective Date, Executive agrees to repay the Company the
entire benefit provided by this Section 3(c).

                  (d) STOCK OPTIONS. Executive shall be granted at such time as
the Board shall determine, but no later than two (2) business days following the
date shares of the Company first become publicly traded, a stock option for two
hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares of common stock of the Company (adjusted
for post spin off stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar
events), one third of such shares to vest on each of the first, second and third
anniversaries of the Effective Date and shall otherwise be governed pursuant to
the terms of the Combined Specialty Stock Incentive Plan as may be adopted by
the Board; provided, however, that to the extent unvested at the date of
termination of employment pursuant to Section 4(d) or 4(f), such stock options
shall continue to vest in accordance with its original vesting schedule and the
committee administering such plan shall take such action as shall be necessary
pursuant to the terms of such plan to effect such continued vesting.

                  (e) OTHER BENEFITS. While employed by the Company, Executive
shall be entitled to participate (without regard to any eligibility or waiting
periods except as prohibited by applicable law) in the Company's employee
benefit plans generally available to executives of the Company (such benefits
being hereinafter referred to as the "Employee Benefits"). Executive shall be
entitled to take time off for vacation or illness in accordance with the
Company's policy for executives and to receive all other fringe benefits as are
from time to time made generally available to executives of the Company.
Executive shall at all times be provided at least four (4) weeks paid vacation
per year.

                  (f) EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT. While employed by the Company, the
Company shall reimburse Executive, in accordance with the Company's policies and
procedures, for all proper expenses incurred by him in the performance of his
duties hereunder. Executive shall have use of a private jet when traveling on
Company business.

                  (g) GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK. The Company shall issue a grant
to Executive of 150,000 restricted common shares in the Company.

                                       2
<Page>

                  This grant of restricted (within the meaning of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act of 1933) shares shall vest to the extent of twenty-five (25%)
percent of the shares granted on the first anniversary date of the Effective
Date, and twenty-five (25%) percent of the shares granted on each of the next
three anniversary dates thereafter. If Executive's employment is terminated by
the Company for Cause, as defined in Section 4(c)(ii)(B)(C)(D) and (E),
Executive shall forfeit any rights to any unvested portion of the grant. If the
Executive's employment terminates for any other reason, including death or
disability, then Executive's rights to any unvested portion of the grant shall
vest immediately upon said termination.

                  4. TERMINATION. (a) DEATH. Upon the death of Executive, this
Agreement shall automatically terminate (except for obligations which
specifically survive termination) and Executive's executor or administrator
shall be entitled to receive the Executive's Base Salary which shall have
accrued to the date of such death. In addition, following the execution of this
Agreement, the Company shall, with the cooperation of Executive, purchase
insurance on the life of Executive which shall provide coverage, on a declining
term basis, sufficient for the payment to Executive's executor, administrator or
designated beneficiary of a lump sum cash amount equal to the greater of (i)
Executive's Base Salary, at the rate in effect at the date of such death, to
which Executive would have been entitled from the date of such death until the
fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, or expiration of any extension thereof,
reduced by the amount of any benefit payable under any other life insurance
policy maintained by the Company for the benefit of the Executive; or (ii) one
and one-half times Executive's Base Salary.

                  (b) DISABILITY. The Company may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement upon written notice to Executive if Executive, because of physical or
mental incapacity or disability, fails to perform the essential functions of his
position required of him hereunder for a continuous period of one hundred eighty
(180) days or any two hundred forty (240) days within any twelve (12) month
period. Upon such termination, Executive or his legal representative shall be
entitled to receive the Base Salary which shall have accrued to the date of
termination, plus continuation of Base Salary, at the rate in effect at the date
of such termination of employment, until the later to occur of (i) the fifth
anniversary of the Effective Date or the expiration of any extension of the
Agreement or (ii) eighteen months from the date of such termination; provided,
however, that the amount of any benefit payable under any disability insurance
policy maintained by the Company shall be deducted from the payments of such
Base Salary, with the benefit received under such policy reducing the
installment of Base Salary payable closest to the payment of such benefit. In
the event of any dispute regarding the existence of Executive's incapacity or
disability hereunder, the matter shall be resolved by the determination of an
independent physician agreed to between Executive and the Board specializing in
the claimed area of incapacity or disability. Executive shall submit to
appropriate medical examinations for purposes of such determination.

                  (c) CAUSE. (i) The Company may at any time, at its option,
terminate Executive's employment under this Agreement for Cause (as hereinafter
defined). The Company's decision in this regard shall be made by the Board.
Executive shall be given at least seven days written notice of any meeting at
which the Board proposes to put forward for a vote a decision on whether or not
to terminate Executive for Cause and the written notice shall describe in
reasonable detail the basis on which the Board may conclude that Cause exists.
Executive shall have the opportunity to appear in person and to make such
written and/or oral presentation to such meeting of the Board as Executive
thinks fit. If a majority of the Board authorizes by

                                       3
<Page>

affirmative vote a termination for Cause at such meeting (whether or not
Executive makes any oral or written presentations at such meeting) such
determination shall be final and binding upon the Company and Executive once
such decision is confirmed in writing and communicated to Executive.

                  (ii) As used in this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall mean
any one or more of the following:

                           (A) any failure or inability (other than by reason of
         physical or mental disability determined in accordance with Section
         4(b)) of Executive to perform his duties under this Agreement to the
         reasonable satisfaction of at least a majority of the members of the
         Board, including, without limitation, any refusal by Executive to
         perform such duties or to perform such specific directives of the Board
         which are consistent with the scope and nature of the Executive's
         duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, provided, however,
         that Executive shall be provided written notice of any alleged failure
         or inability to perform his duties under this Agreement (which notice
         shall describe in reasonable detail the basis on which the Board may
         conclude that Executive has failed or been unable to perform his
         duties);

                           (B) any intentional act of fraud, embezzlement or
         theft by Executive in connection with his duties hereunder or in the
         course of his employment hereunder or any prior employment, or the
         Executive's admission or conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to,
         a felony or of any crime involving moral turpitude, fraud,
         embezzlement, theft or misrepresentation;

                           (C) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of
         Executive resulting in a loss to the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries, or damage to the reputation of the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries;

                           (D) any breach by Executive of any one or more of the
         covenants contained in Section 6 or 7 hereof; or

                           (E) any violation of any statutory or common law duty
         of loyalty to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

                           Executive shall be provided thirty (30) business days
         in which to cure any alleged breach of Sections 4(c)(ii).

                  (iii) The exercise of the right of the Company to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall not abrogate the rights or
remedies of the Company in respect of the breach giving rise to such
termination.

                  (iv) If the Company terminates Executive's employment for
Cause, as defined in Section 4(c)(ii)(B),(C),(D) or (E), he shall be entitled
to:

                           (A) accrued Base Salary through the date of the
         termination of his employment; and

                                       4
<Page>

                           (B) other Employee Benefits to which Executive is
         entitled upon his termination of employment with the Company, including
         regular and supplemental retirement and disability benefits, in
         accordance with the terms of the plans and programs of the Company.

                  (v) If the Company terminates Executive's employment for
Cause, as defined in Section 4(c)(ii)(A), he shall be entitled to:

                           (A) the payments specified by Sections 4(c)(iv)(A)
         and (B); and

                           (B) the continuation of Base Salary, at the rate in
         effect at the date of such termination of employment, for a period of
         eighteen months from the date of such termination of employment.

                   (d) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. If, during the Employment
Period, the Company terminates the employment of Executive hereunder for any
reason other than a reason set forth in Section 4(a), (b) or (c), the Company
shall give Executive 90 days prior written notice of such termination and:

                  (i) Concurrent with such termination, Executive shall be
         entitled to receive the payments and benefits specified by Sections
         4(c)(iv)(A) and (B); and

                  (ii) The Company shall continue to pay Executive his Base
         Salary for eighteen (18) months at the rate in effect at the date of
         such termination of employment;

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(d), if any payment
specified by this Section 4(d) would not be deductible by the Company for
federal income tax purposes by reason of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any similar or successor statute
(excluding Section 280G of the Code), such payment shall be deferred and the
amount thereof (plus earnings thereon in accordance with the terms of such
deferral) shall be paid to Executive at the earliest time that such payment
shall be deductible by the Company.

                  (e) VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON. The Executive
may voluntarily terminate his employment with the Company prior to the end of
the Employment Period for any reason. If the Executive voluntarily terminates
his employment pursuant to this Section 4(e) within three (3) years of the
Effective Date, Executive shall give the Company 30 days prior written notice
and shall be entitled to the payments specified by Sections 4(c)(iv)(A) and (B).
If Executive terminates his employment voluntarily after three (3) years from
the Effective Date, Executive shall be entitled to continuation of Base Salary
at the rate then in effect for eighteen months after termination of employment.

                  (f) VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION WITH GOOD REASON. Executive may
terminate his employment following a material breach of this Agreement by the
Company by notifying the Company of his intent to terminate as a result of a
material breach of this Agreement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances believed to be the basis for such material
breach. The Company shall be provided thirty (30) business days in which to cure
or correct such alleged breach. If the Company fails to cure or correct such
material breach

                                       5
<Page>

within this thirty (30) day period, Executive's voluntary resignation shall be
deemed the same as a termination without cause, and Executive shall be entitled
to receive all payments and benefits set forth in Section 4(d) of this
Agreement.

                  5. FEDERAL AND STATE WITHHOLDING. The Company shall deduct
from the amounts payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement the amount of
all required federal, state and local withholding taxes in accordance with
Executive's Form W-4 on file with the Company, and all applicable federal
employment taxes.

                  6. CONFIDENTIALITY. Executive shall not, at any time during
the Employment Period or thereafter, make use of or disclose, directly or
indirectly, any (i) confidential information of the Company or of any of its
subsidiaries, or (ii) other technical, business, proprietary or financial
information of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries, not available to the
public generally or to the competitors of the Company or to the competitors of
any of its subsidiaries, ("Confidential Information"), except that use or
disclosure of Confidential Information shall be permitted to the extent that
such Confidential Information (a) becomes a matter of public record or is
published in a newspaper, magazine or other periodical available to the general
public, other than as a result of any act or omission of the Executive, (b) is
required to be disclosed by any law, regulation or order of any court or
regulatory commission, department or agency, provided that Executive gives
prompt notice of such requirement to the Company to enable the Company to seek
an appropriate protective order, or (c) is necessary to perform properly
Executive's duties under this Agreement. Promptly following the termination of
the Employment Period, Executive shall surrender to the Company all records,
memoranda, notes, plans, reports, computer tapes and software and other
documents and data which constitute Confidential Information which he may then
possess or have under his control (together with all copies thereof).

                  7. INVENTIONS. Executive hereby assigns to the Company his
entire right, title and interest in and to all discoveries and improvements,
patentable or otherwise, trade secrets and ideas, writings and copyrightable
material, which may be conceived by Executive or developed or acquired by him
during the Employment Period, which may pertain directly or indirectly to the
business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Executive agrees to disclose
fully all such developments to the Company upon its request, which disclosure
shall be made in writing promptly following any such request. Executive shall,
upon the Company's request, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company all
instruments and do all other acts which are necessary or desirable to enable the
Company or any of its subsidiaries to file and prosecute applications for, and
to acquire, maintain and enforce, all patents, trademarks and copyrights in all
countries.

                  8. ENFORCEMENT. The parties hereto agree that the Company and
its subsidiaries would be damaged irreparably in the event that any provision of
Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms
or were otherwise breached and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy
for any such nonperformance or breach. Accordingly, the Company and its
successors and permitted assigns shall be entitled, in addition to other rights
and remedies existing in their favor, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
any breach or threatened breach of any of such provisions and to enforce such
provisions specifically (without posting a bond or other security). Executive
agrees that he will submit himself to the

                                       6
<Page>

personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Illinois in any action by
the Company to enforce any provision of Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement.

                  9. SURVIVAL. Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall
survive and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their
respective terms, notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period.

                  10. ARBITRATION. Any controversy, dispute or claim arising out
of, in connection with, or in relation to this Agreement (other than breach of
Section 6 or 7) including any claim based on contract, tort, or statute, shall
be submitted to binding arbitration by a neutral arbitrator. Such arbitration
shall be conducted in accordance with the then existing Rules of Commercial
Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitrator
shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the AAA. The Company
shall be solely responsible for the fees of the AAA; the parties shall share
equally the arbitrator's fees. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and
binding. In the event the arbitrator determines that a party was in breach of
this Agreement, he may award costs to the complaining party, including
reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in proving said breach.

                  11. NOTICES. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when (i)
delivered personally or by overnight courier to the following address of the
other party hereto (or such other address for such party as shall be specified
by notice given pursuant to this Section 11) or (ii) sent by facsimile to the
following facsimile number of the other party hereto (or such other facsimile

                  12. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect

5.2       INSTALLATION. Licensor will install Program and such equipment and
          third party software obtained through Licensor as soon as practical,
          depending on the delivery of such hardware and third party software.
          The installation will include the following: (a) loading of the
          Program on the Licensee's network server; (b) loading of any third
          party software obtained through Licensor onto Licensee's network
          server hard disk; and (c) setting up all third party hardware obtained
          through Licensor.

          Installation will not include any data entry, except for such test
          data as is necessary to provide a demonstration of the use of the
          Program. Licensor will not, under any circumstances, be responsible
          for any delays in connection with the installation of any hardware or
          software other than the Program.

5.3       TESTING. Licensor will test the Program on Licensee's hardware to
          ensure that the Program is operational. If for any reason the
          Licensee's hardware is not compatible with the Program, Licensor will
          not be responsible for making corrections or modifications to the
          existing system. Any changes to the existing system will be considered
          Additional Services and be governed by that Section of this Agreement.

          of activities and/or a checklist for the conversion process from
          Licensee's current system to the Program. However, Licensee
          acknowledges that transferring data from prior systems, modifying such
          data if necessary and interpreting the same, as well as all other
          aspects of the conversion process necessary to cause Licensee's data
          to conform with Program's data structure is Licensee's responsibility.

                                      -3-
<Page>

6.3       STANDARD CONVERSION. The Program is designed to allow Licensee to
          manually enter data into the Program by having Licensee's personnel
          input the data after Program is installed. If the Licensee's data is
          in a form and structure compatible with the data structure of Program
          as set forth in Appendix B, it may be possible for Licensor to write a
          program to assist in the transfer of Licensee's previous data to the
          Program at the Licensor's regular hourly rate. If such is done, the
          program, including the copyright thereto, will remain the property of
          Licensor.

          It is acknowledged that not all information in Licensee's old system
          may be transferable to the Program and the interface, if it can be
          done, will apply only to compatible items.

6.4       OTHER CONVERSION. Standard conversion includes the transfer of only
          the data types listed in Appendix B. It is acknowledged that adding
          and/or transferring other data which may be in the Licensee's prior
          system is considered custom modification work, which will be at
          additional cost and which will take additional time. Such work is
          governed by the Additional Services provisions herein.

SECTION 7. TRAINING.

7.1       FEES AND TYPES. The fees and time allotted for training are as set
          forth in writing between the Licensee and Licensor.

7.2       RESPONSIBILITIES. Licensor will notify Licensee regarding those parts
          of the training program which will be essential for staffing
          coordinators and personnel involved in payroll and billing. Licensee
          will: (a) ensure that the Primary and Secondary Contact persons as
          well as other management personnel responsible for training other
          workers and all personnel who are to be knowledgeable regarding the
          Program must attend the entire training program at the scheduled time;
          and (b) will pay for any additional training that may be required due
          to the failure of Licensee's personnel to attend the regularly
          scheduled training, at Licensor's regular hourly rate plus travel and
          expenses.

          Licensee's system, any changes to the hardware or additions of other
          software to the system, which cause the Program to have operational
          problems will be considered a user error. Licensor will charge the
          Licensee at the Licensor's regular hourly rate to correct the error.

          substantially in accordance with the accompanying written materials;

THE ABOVE, LICENSOR'S LIABILITY AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THE CHARGES ACTUALLY PAID BY LICENSEE HEREUNDER FOR THE
LICENSE OF PROGRAM.

10.2      DISCLAIMERS. To the extent that Licensor supplies Licensee with
          third-party products, whether hardware, software or other supplies,
          Licensor makes NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER regarding such third-party
          products and Licensee will rely solely on the manufacturer's warranty
          and Licensee's sole recourse will be against such manufacturers.

          reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an action at
          law, and that such a breach of those provisions would cause Licensor
          irreparable injury and damage. By reason thereof, Licensee agrees, in

          by the party whose position on such issue was not upheld, of all
          reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred in connection
          with such issue, whether or not suit be filed, and whether before or
          after appeal; provided, however, that if in the settlement of any such
          dispute the parties provide for such legal fees in the written
          settlement agreement, this provision will be waived.

12.4      SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement will be severable and
