                        arrangements between Amitron and LPT existing as of the
                        date of this Agreement);

                  (iii) conviction of felony; or

                  (iv)  documented repeated failure to follow the reasonable,
                        written instructions of Employer's Vice President and
                        General Manager after prior written warning.

      Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if Employee's employment is terminated for "Cause", Employee shall
forfeit all rights to receive future payments and benefits otherwise provided
pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Base Salary will be paid to
Employee through the date of termination.

            (d) Termination by Employer for Reasons Other Than Cause. In the
event Employer terminates Employee for reasons "Other Than Cause", Employee
shall be entitled to:

                  (i)   the greater of (A) severance pay determined in
                        accordance with the provisions of Section 1(e) of this
                        Agreement, or (B) Employee's regular Base Salary for the
                        balance of the Period of Employment had the Period of
                        Employment not been terminated;

                  (ii)  continued participation in Amitron's group health
                        benefit and group short and long term disability
                        insurance plans and Employer's 401(k) and other benefit
                        plans, as if Employee was an active, full time employee
                        for the severance pay period described above, with
                        "COBRA" continuation coverage to commence the month
                        following the end of the period during which Employee
                        receives severance compensation and continued health
                        benefits.

                  (iii) exercise all unexpired stock options held by Employee
                        that are not exercisable or that have not been
                        exercised, so as to permit the Employee to purchase the
                        balance of Employer common stock not yet purchased
                        pursuant to said options until the end of the one year
                        period following Employee's termination; and

<PAGE>

                  (iv)  receipt of the payments and benefits provided in
                        paragraphs (i) and (ii) above is expressly conditioned
                        on Employee executing a complete general release in
                        favor of Employer, Amitron, and their officers and
                        directors, in their individual and representative
                        capacities, (collectively "the Releasees") which will
                        provide a total bar against all claims against the
                        respective Releasees related to Employee's employment
                        and the termination of that employment.

      6. Withholding. Employer shall deduct and withhold from compensation and
benefits provided under this Agreement all legally required taxes and any
benefit contributions required by law.

      7. Covenants.

            (a) Confidentiality. Employee shall not, without the prior written
consent of Employer, disclose or use in any way, either during his employment by
Employer or thereafter, except as required in the course of his employment by
Employer, any confidential business or technical information or trade secrets
(collectively "proprietary information") acquired in the course of Employee's
employment by Amitron or by Employer. Employee acknowledges and agrees that it
would be difficult to fully compensate Employer for damages resulting from the
breach or threatened breach of the foregoing provision and, accordingly, that
Employer shall be entitled to temporary preliminary injunctions and permanent
injunctions to enforce this provision. Employer's right to obtain injunctive
relief shall not, however, diminish Employer's right to claim and recover
damages. Employee commits to use his reasonable efforts commensurate with his
position to prevent the publication or disclosure of any trade secret or

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

any proprietary information concerning the business or finances of Employer or
Employer's subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of its or their dealings,
transactions or affairs which may come to Employee's knowledge in the pursuance
of its duties on behalf of Employer, provided, however, that the foregoing
covenants in this Section 7(a) shall not apply to any proprietary information
which (i) becomes generally available to the public or the industries of Amitron
and Employer other than as a result of a disclosure thereof by Employee in
violation of this Agreement; (ii) was or becomes available to the Employee from
a source other than Employer or Amitron, which source, if a third party, is
under no legal or contractual restraint on his or its disclosure thereof to
Employee; or (iii) which Employee is obligated to disclose in accordance with
any applicable law or pursuant to any lawful subpoena. If Employee is requested
or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or
documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose
any proprietary information, it is agreed that Employee will provide Employer
with prompt notice of such request(s) so that Employer may seek an appropriate
protective order and if unsuccessful in obtaining a protective order by the time
employee is compelled to disclose any proprietary information, the Employer
shall be deemed to waive Employee's compliance with the provisions of this
Section 7(a).

            (b) Upon execution of this Agreement, Employee will properly execute
a copy of Employer's Confidential and Proprietary Information Agreement
(attached as Exhibit B).

            (c) No Competition.

                  (i)   During the Period of Employment and for the time period
                        specified in Section 7(c)(ii) below, Employee shall not,
                        directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

                        participate in the ownership, management, operation or
                        control of or be connected as an officer, employee,
                        partner, director, individual proprietor, lender,
                        consultant or otherwise, or have any financial interest
                        in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of any
                        entity or business which is engaged in (A) any business
                        which is competitive with the business of Amitron as it
                        is now conducted or which may hereafter be conducted by
                        Amitron during the Period of Employment or (B) in any
                        business now conducted by Employer or hereafter
                        conducted by Employer during the Period of Employment,
                        provided that Employee has been materially involved in
                        such business conducted by the Employer or has had
                        access to confidential information with respect to such
                        business of the Employer ("a Competitive Operation").

                  (ii)  The foregoing obligations of Employee under Section
                        7(c)(i) shall cease and terminate, and be of no further
                        force and effect on the later of (A) August 31, 2006,
                        (B) the last day on which Employee receives severance
                        pay in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
                        or (C) the expiration of two (2) years after the date of
                        the termination of Employee's employment unless the
                        reason is

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

                        without cause, in which case one (1) year after the date
                        of termination.

                  (iii) It is expressly understood that Employee currently is an
                        equity owner of LPT and Employee from time to time
                        consults with LPT's management on various operational
                        and business related issues. It is additionally
                        understood that LPT is engaged in the laser services
                        industry, providing laser drilling and ceramic machining
                        services, including, but not limited to, CO(2) laser
                        processing (cutting and drilling), high temperature
                        annealing, automated inspection, laser coating to
                        protect material surfaces and optical alignment (all of
                        the foregoing being hereafter referred to as the
                        "Excluded Business"). It is further understood that the
                        "Excluded Business" does not include the manufacture or
                        selling of thick film ceramic circuits or components.
                        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
                        herein, none of the provisions set forth in this Section
                        7(c) shall in any manner be deemed to preclude, prohibit
                        or restrict in any manner Employee (a) during and after
                        Employee's employment with Employer, from owning any
                        equity interest in, or acting as a director of the
                        Excluded Business and (b) after the termination of
                        Employee's employment, engaging in any services of any

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

                        nature on behalf of the Excluded Business or engaging in
                        any other business which may be in the future conducted
                        by LPT provided that such future business do not
                        constitute a Competitive Operation.

                  (iv)  Ownership by Employee of not more than 2% of the voting
                        stock of any publicly held corporation shall not
                        constitute a violation of this paragraph.

                  (v)   Employee agrees that the foregoing obligations of
                        Employee under this Section 7(c) are entered into by
                        Employee in conjunction with Employer's purchase of the
                        outstanding stock of Amitron, and that the scope and
                        breath of the above covenant not to compete is fair and
                        reasonable and shall therefore be enforceable.

            (d) Termination of Payments. Upon the breach by Employee of any
covenant under this paragraph 7, Employer may offset any damages, including but
not limited to attorneys' fees awarded by the final non-appealable decree or
order of an arbitrator pursuant to paragraph 14 below by reason of such breach
against any and all severance benefits payable to Employee under paragraph 1(e)
hereof in addition to any and all other remedies available to Employer under law
or in equity.

      8. Notices. Any notice which may be given hereunder shall be sufficient if
in writing and mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to Employee
at his residence, and to Employer at P.O. Box 178, 6635 Kirkville Road, E.
Syracuse, New York 13057 or at such other addresses as either Employee or
Employer may, by similar notice, designate.

      9. Rules, Regulations and Policies. Employee shall abide by and comply
with all of the material rules, regulations, and policies of Employer, which are
not inconsistent with this Agreement, including without limitation Employer's
policy of strict adherence to, and compliance with, any and all requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the NASDAQ.

      10. No Prior Restrictions. Employee affirms and represents that Employee
is under no obligation to any former employer or other third party which is in
any way inconsistent with, or which imposes any restriction upon, the employment
of Employee by Employer, or Employee's undertakings under this Agreement.

      11. Return of Employer's Property. After Employee has received notice of
termination or at the end of the term of this Agreement whichever first occurs,
Employee shall immediately return to Employer all documents and other property
in his possession belonging to Amitron.

      12. Construction and Severability. The invalidity of any one or more
provisions of this Agreement or any part thereof, all of which are inserted
conditionally upon their being valid in law, shall not affect the validity of
any other provisions to this Agreement; and in the event that one or more
provisions or any part thereof contained herein shall be invalid, as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction, this instrument shall be construed as if
such invalid provisions had not been inserted, and further provided that with
respect to the duration of the "no competition" covenants in Section 7, if a
court of competent jurisdiction deems any period provided in Section 7 as
"excessive", the parties intend that the applicable provision will remain valid
and enforceable for whatever period the court deems appropriate.

and shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

      14. Disputes. The exclusive forum to resolve any dispute involving the
interpretation or application of this Agreement shall be to binding arbitration
pursuant to the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association to
be held in Syracuse New York except that the "non-prevailing" party shall be
liable to pay the costs and reasonable attorney's fees of the prevailing party.
To the extent that the parties can not agree as to who the "non prevailing"
party is, the Arbitrator shall retain jurisdiction exclusively to decide that
issue. The Arbitrator shall have no jurisdiction or authority to add to, detract
from or alter in any way the provisions of this Agreement. The award rendered by
the Arbitrator shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance
with applicable law in any New York court having jurisdiction.

      15. Assignability and Successors. This Agreement may not be assigned by
Employee or Employer, except that this Agreement shall be binding upon, and
shall inure to the benefit of the successor of Employer through merger,
acquisition of all or substantially all the assets of Employer, or corporate
reorganization.

      16. Miscellaneous.

            (a) This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and
agreement between the parties with respect to Employee's employment with
Employer and shall supersede all prior understandings and agreements.

            (b) This Agreement cannot be amended, modified or supplemented in
any respect, except by a subsequent written agreement entered into by the
parties.

                                      -16-

            (c) The services to be performed by Employee are special and unique;
it is agreed that any breach of this Agreement by Employee shall entitle
Employer (or any successor or permitted assigns of Employer), in addition to any
other legal remedies available to it, to apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction to enjoin such breach.

            (d) The provisions of paragraph 7 and any other provisions of this
Agreement that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement or
Period of Employment shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

      17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which
together shall constitute one in the same instrument.
