        (b) Appointment as Director. The Board of Directors agrees to maintain
Employee as one of the candidates nominated by the Board of Directors in
connection with each annual meeting of shareholders for so long as he serves as

        (c) Employee's Acceptance. Employee hereby accepts his appointments and
elections as President/Chief Executive Officer of Employer, and a director of
Employer.

        Second: Term

        Subject to the provisions governing termination as hereinafter provided,
the term of this Agreement shall begin effective November 15, 2001 and shall
terminate on
<PAGE>
November 15, 2004. If Employee is then employed by Employer, on each November 15
beginning November 15, 2002, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically
extended for one additional year such that the remaining term of the Agreement
shall then be three (3) years; provided, however, that upon written notice given
by either party at least thirty (30) days prior to the next automatic extension,
the automatic extension right may be terminated.

        Third: Compensation

        (a) Base Compensation. For all services rendered by Employee to Employer
under this Agreement, Employer shall pay Employee a salary of $520,000 per year,
payable in semi-monthly installments in accordance with Employer's standard
payroll practices. From time to time, the salary payable to Employee may be
increased at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors (the "Compensation Committee"). Employee's annual salary, as from time
to time increased by the Compensation Committee, is hereinafter referred to as
"Base Compensation."

        (b) Bonus Plans. In addition, the Compensation Committee has enacted the
following Bonus Plan for Employee, which shall be maintained in effect during
the term of this Agreement. For purposes of the bonus plan, EBIT shall be
defined as Operating Income of Employer on a consolidated basis minus Sales and
General Administrative Expense and Depreciation of Employer on a consolidated
basis. Employee shall receive a bonus (i) under Part I of the bonus plan, equal
to 25% of his base compensation if EBIT for the fiscal year in question exceeds

bonus plan, equal to 4.166% of the amount by which EBIT for such fiscal year
exceeds the average of EBIT for the prior three fiscal years.

        Fourth: Extent of Services

        Employee shall devote his entire time, attention and energies to the
business of Employer (and its various subsidiaries on terms and conditions as
may be determined) and shall not during the term of this Agreement be engaged in
any other business activity whether or not such business activity is pursued for
gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage; but this shall not be construed as
preventing Employee from investing his assets in companies or other entities in
such form or manner as will not require any services on the part of Employee in
the operation of the affairs of such companies or entities in which such
investments are made, and, with respect to companies or other entities which are
competitors of Employer, where Employee's investment does not represent in
excess of Ten Percent (10%) of the outstanding equity of such company or entity,
a loan in excess of Ten Percent (10%) of the net assets of such company or
entity or any combination of the foregoing totaling Ten Percent (10%).

        Fifth: Working Facilities

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
        Employee shall be furnished with a private office, secretarial help and
other facilities and services reasonably suitable to his position and adequate
for the performance of his duties. Employee shall be employed at Employer's
principal executive offices in Los Angeles, California and shall travel to the
extent necessary to fulfill his duties in his discretion.

        Sixth: Disclosure of Information

        (a) Generally. The parties acknowledge that Employer and its affiliates
(individually and collectively, the "Companies"), have developed and intend to
continue the development of and to formulate, acquire and use commercially
valuable technical and non- technical information, design and specification
documents, concepts, technology, know-how, improvements, proposals, patent
applications, techniques, marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, inventions
(not limited by the definition of an invention contained in the United States
Patent Laws), Trade Secrets (as defined in Sec. 3426.1(d) of the Uniform Trade
Secrets Act) and processes which are considered proprietary by the Companies,
particularly including, without limitation, customer and supplier lists, books
and records, computer programs, pricing information and business plans
(collectively, the "Propriety Information"). It is necessary for the Companies
to protect the Proprietary Information by patents or copyrights or by holding it
secret and confidential.

        (b) Access to Proprietary Information. The parties acknowledge that
Employee has access to the Proprietary Information and that the disclosure or
misuse of such Proprietary Information could irreparably damage the Companies
and/or their respective clients or customers.

        (c) Nondisclosure to Others. Except as directed by Employer in writing
or verbally, Employee shall not at any time during or after the Term disclose
any Proprietary Information to any person whatsoever, examine or make copies of
any reports or other documents, papers, memoranda or extracts for use other than
in connection with his duties with Employer or utilize for his own benefit or
for the benefit of any other party any such Proprietary Information and will use
reasonable diligence to maintain the confidential, secret or proprietary
character of all Proprietary Information.

        (d) Survivability. Employee acknowledges that his obligations hereunder
shall continue beyond the Term with respect to any Proprietary Information (as
defined in Article Sixth, paragraph (a) hereof) which came into his possession
during the Term.

        Seventh: Expenses

        Employee is authorized to incur reasonable expenses for promoting the
business of Employer, including expenses for entertainment, travel and similar
items but only in accordance with the policies of the Board of Directors or
Employer's Chief Executive Officer, as from time to time adopted. Employer will
reimburse Employee for all such

                                      -3-

<PAGE>
reasonable expenses upon the presentation by Employee, from time to time, of an
itemized account and documentation of such expenditures in sufficient detail to
allow Employer to claim an income tax deduction for each paid item, if such item
is deductible.

        Eighth: Fringe Benefits

        (a) Participation in General Plans. Subject to the provisions of
paragraph (b) below, Employee shall have such employee benefits (including
medical insurance, life insurance, 401(k) and disability insurance plans) as
Employer shall from time- to-time establish, promulgate or keep in effect for
the benefit of its management level employees. Such benefits will include
company paid medical insurance for Employee and his family under Employer's
medical insurance plans. Employee shall be required to comply with, and be
entitled to benefits only in accordance with, the terms and conditions of such
plans. Nothing contained in this paragraph (a) of Article Eighth, however, shall
be construed to require Employer to establish any life, disability or medical
insurance plans not in existence on the date hereof, to continue any plans in
existence on the date hereof, to prevent Employer from modifying and/or
terminating any of the plans in existence on the date hereof or otherwise
require Employer to take special steps to insure the eligibility of Employee or
his dependents under the provisions of such plans, and no such act or omission
shall be deemed to affect this Agreement or to require modification of the
compensation, additional benefit or other provisions contained herein. The
provisions of this paragraph (a) of Article Eighth shall not limit or modify
Employee's rights with respect to life insurance and payment following
disability specifically set forth in this Agreement.

        (b) Stock Options. Employee shall be entitled to the grant of stock
options as from time to time determined in the sole discretion of the
Compensation Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
any options granted to Employee shall be exercisable for a minimum of Ninety
(90) days following his termination as set forth in the Existing Option
agreement.

        (c) 2002 Management Stock Purchase Plan.

               (i) By virtue of his eligibility to participate in the 2002
Management Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"), Employee may purchase from CFK
Partners, an Illinois general partnership, up to 387,650 unregistered shares
(the "Shares") of the common stock of Employer, $0.01 par value, at a price of
$7.50 per share, such purchase to be funded by the Employer.

               (ii) In the event Employee voluntarily leaves the full- time
employment of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or related companies for any
reason whatsoever without the prior consent of Employer, or Employee is
discharged with or without cause (except for a termination pursuant to Article
12(a) hereof or as otherwise provided herein) (hereinafter the "Date of
Discharge"), Employee shall be obligated to repay the

                                      -4-

<PAGE>
sums provided by Employer hereunder, provided, however, that Employee's
obligations hereunder shall be forgiven by the percentage equal to the product
of (i) 10% and (ii) the number of years from the date hereof to the Date of
Discharge, with the number of years calculated on a March 1st fiscal year
beginning March 1, 2002 (so that if for example, the Date of Discharge is April
1, 2004, the number of years calculated hereunder shall be 2). Czyzyk shall have
no obligation to repay Mercury if he remains employed by Mercury after March 1,
2012. Employer shall be granted a secured interest as a creditor of Employee in
the event Employee defaults in his obligation to repay Employer as herein set
forth. In the event Employee terminates his employment pursuant to Article 12(a)
hereof or is terminated by Employer for any reason following an event set forth
in Article 12(a) hereof, or in the event Employee dies or becomes disabled,
Employee shall have no further obligation to repay Employer all or any portion
of the purchase price of the shares purchased pursuant to the Plan.

        (d) Vacation. Employee shall be entitled each year to a vacation of four
(4) weeks, during which time his compensation shall be paid in full.

        Ninth: Disability

        (a) Rights Following Disability. If Employee is unable to perform his
services by reason of illness or incapacity ("Disabled") for a period of more
than six (6) weeks as determined in the reasonable discretion of Employer's
Chief Executive Officer, the compensation otherwise payable to him during the
continued period of such illness or incapacity shall be reduced by fifty (50%)
percent. Unless this Agreement has been terminated prior thereto, Employee's
full compensation shall be reinstated effective and commencing on the date of
his return to employment and the discharge of his full duties hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Employer may terminate this
Agreement at any time after Employee shall be Disabled for a period of more than
twelve (12) months as determined in the reasonable discretion of Employer's
Chief Executive Officer. Following any such termination: (i) Employer shall
continue to pay Employee's Base Compensation for one-year as severance pay or
such lesser period as may remain on the term of this Agreement; and (ii)
Employer shall pay to Employee a pro rated bonus for the portion of the fiscal
year during which he was employed prior to such termination. For purposes of the
foregoing pro ration, the bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination
occurs shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of and on the schedule
set forth in Article Third of this Agreement. Following such calculation, the
bonus for the total fiscal year shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of days in the fiscal year of termination during
which Employee was employed by Employer, and the denominator of which shall be
365. The result of such calculation shall determine the pro rated bonus paid to
Employee. For purposes of this Article Ninth all amounts paid to Employee under
any long- term disability insurance policy maintained by Employer shall be
credited as if paid by Employer to Employee to Employee and after giving effect
to any federal or state income tax savings resulting from the payment under a
disability policy (as opposed to as taxable salary).

                                      -5-

<PAGE>
        (b) No Additional Rights. Except as set forth above in paragraph (a),
clauses (i) and (ii) of this Article Ninth, following a termination of
Employee's employment with Employer pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Article
Ninth: (i) all rights and liabilities of the parties hereto shall cease and this
Agreement shall be terminated (subject to the continuing obligations of Employee
pursuant to Articles Sixth and Fourteenth); and (ii) Employee shall not be
entitled to receive any severance benefits, salary, other benefits or
compensation of any kind (except for health insurance continuation as required
by COBRA and accrued vacation pay as required by law) either as consideration
for his employment or in connection with the termination of his employment.

        Tenth: Employer's Right to Terminate For Cause

        (a) Cause. Employer may at any time during the term of this Agreement
discharge Employee for "cause." The term "cause" is defined herein as Employee's
acts of misappropriation of corporate funds, embezzlement, negligence or
Employee's voluntary abandonment of his job (other than pursuant to Article
Twelfth) or a material breach of this Agreement. Employee shall be terminated
only following a finding of "cause" in a resolution adopted by majority vote of
the Board of Directors, with Employee abstaining.

        (b) No Rights Following Cause Termination. Following a termination of
Employee's employment with Employer "for cause" pursuant to paragraph (a) of
this Article Tenth: (i) all rights and liabilities of the parties hereto shall
cease and this Agreement shall be terminated (subject to the continuing
obligations of Employee pursuant to Article Sixth and Fourteenth hereof); and
(ii) Employee shall not be entitled to receive any severance benefits, salary,
other benefits or compensation of any kind (except for health insurance
continuation as required by COBRA, salary accrued through the date of
termination and accrued vacation pay as required by law) either as consideration
for his employment or in connection with the termination of his employment. In
the event that Employee asserts that his voluntary termination was actually a
constructive termination, Employer shall be entitled to assert as "cause" for
such termination any grounds present at the time of such termination which the
Board of Directors could have asserted as "cause" if called upon to terminate
Employee.

        Eleventh: Termination Without Cause

        (a) Rights Following Termination Without Cause. Should Employee be
discharged by Employer at any time during the term of this Agreement except as
provided in Article Tenth, Employer hereby agrees to: (i) pay Employee within
thirty (30) days from such discharge the lesser of one year's Base Compensation
or the Base Compensation that would otherwise be paid to him over the remaining
term of this Agreement; and (ii) Employer shall pay to Employee a pro rated
bonus for the portion of the fiscal year during which he was employed prior to
such termination. For purposes of the foregoing pro ration, the bonus for the
fiscal year in which the termination occurs shall be calculated in accordance
with the terms of and on the schedule set forth in

                                      -6-

<PAGE>
Article Third of this Agreement. Following such calculation, the bonus for the
total fiscal year shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of days in the fiscal year of termination during which
Employee was employed by Employer, and the denominator of which shall be 365.
The result of such calculation shall determine the pro rated bonus paid to
Employee.

        (b) No Additional Rights. Except as set forth above in paragraph (a),
clauses (i) and (ii) of this Article Eleventh following a termination of
Employee's employment by Employer other than pursuant to Article Tenth above:
(i) all rights and liabilities of the parties hereto shall cease and this
Agreement shall be terminated (subject to the continuing obligations of Employee
pursuant to Articles Sixth and Fourteenth); and (ii) Employee shall not be
entitled to receive any severance benefits, salary, other benefits or
compensation of any kind (except for health insurance continuation as required
by COBRA and accrued vacation pay as required by law) either as consideration
for his employment or in connection with the termination of his employment.

        Twelfth: Right to Voluntary Termination By Employee

        (a) Conditions for Termination by Employee. In the event that:

               (i) Any "person" other than CFK Partners or an affiliate of
CFK Partners is or becomes a "beneficial" owner, "directly or indirectly", of
stock of Employer representing 50% or more of the total voting power of
Employer's then outstanding stock, without the written consent of Employee; or

               (ii) Employer is acquired by another entity through the purchase
of substantially all of the assets of the Companies, the purchase of all of
Employer's outstanding voting securities or a combination thereof, without the
written consent of Employee;

               (iii) Employer is merged with another entity, consolidated with
another entity or reorganized in a manner in which any "person" other than
CFK Partners or an affiliate of CFK Partners is or becomes a "beneficial" owner,
"directly or indirectly", of stock of the surviving entity representing 50% or
more of the total voting power of the surviving entity's then outstanding stock,
without the written consent of Employee; or

               (iv) During any period of one, two or three consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute the directors of
Employer cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless
the election, or the nomination or election by the Employer's stockholders, of
each new director of the Employer was approved by a vote of at least two- thirds
of such directors of the Employer then still in office who were directors of the
Employer at the beginning of any such period.

   then, if following any of the events set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv),

                                      -7-

<PAGE>
Employee's duties are substantially altered or Employee is demoted for cause,
Employee shall have the right and option to voluntarily terminate this Agreement
upon written notice to Employer. All terms used in quotations in clauses (i) and
(iii) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Section 13 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules, regulations, releases and
no-action letters of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated
thereunder or interpreting any of the same. For purposes of clauses (i) and
(iii), the term "affiliate" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule
144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the releases and no-action letters interpreting the
same.

        (b) Rights Following Voluntary Termination After a Change of Control.
Following any voluntary termination of employment by Employee pursuant paragraph
(a) of this Article Twelfth, Employee shall be entitled to be paid by Employer
within thirty (30) days of such termination by Employee, the lesser of one
year's Base Compensation or the entire balance of his Base Compensation
remaining to be paid to Employee over the full remaining term of this Agreement.

        (c) No Additional Rights. Except as set forth above in paragraph (b) of
this Article Twelfth and in paragraph (c) of Article Eighth, following a
voluntary termination of Employee's employment with Employer pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Article Twelfth: (i) all rights and liabilities of the
parties hereto shall cease and this Agreement shall be terminated (subject to
the continuing obligations of Employee pursuant to Articles Sixth and
Fourteenth); and (ii) Employee shall not be entitled to receive any severance
benefits, salary, other benefits or compensation of any kind (except for health
insurance continuation as required by COBRA and accrued vacation pay as required
by law) either as consideration for his employment or in connection with the
termination of his employment.

        Thirteenth: Death During Employment

        If Employee dies during the term of this Agreement, Employer shall pay
to the estate of Employee the Base Compensation which would otherwise be payable
to Employee up to the end of the month in which his death occurs. In addition,
Employer shall maintain a life insurance policy or policies providing One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000)in death benefits payable to Employee's estate or
other designated beneficiary. Employee shall be entitled to and the owner of the
cash surrender value of all such insurance policies in excess of the premiums
paid by Employer (if any). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, following any termination of Employee's employment with Employer: (a)
Employer shall cease paying the premiums on any such life insurance policy and
shall be entitled to withdraw (or be paid by Employee in the form of a set- off
against any severance payments due or otherwise) its portion of the cash
surrender value of the life insurance policies; and (b) Employee shall be
entitled, in his discretion, to continue such policies for his benefit by
payment of the premiums and shall be entitled to the full cash surrender value
of such policies following

                                      -8-

<PAGE>
withdrawal or repayment of Employer's interest in the cash surrender value.
Employee and Employer will execute such assignments as are necessary to reflect
this allocation of the death and cash surrender values of any life insurance
policies paid for by Employer on the life of Employee.

        Fourteenth: Restrictive Covenant

        Employee covenants and agrees that, during the period commencing with
the date hereof and ending five (5) years from the date Employee's employment
with Employer is terminated (the "Non- Compete Period"), Employee will not

such method of violation referred to in clauses (a) through (d) shall
hereinafter be referred to as an "indirect violation"). Employee further agrees
that doing or causing to be done any of the actions prohibited in this Article
Fourteenth by means of an indirect violation shall constitute a violation of
this Article Fourteenth as though violated by Employee, subject to all of the
remedies to Employer provided for herein and as otherwise provided by law.

        Fifteenth: Arbitration; Governing Law

        Any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to this Agreement,

case of Employee, or to its principal office, in the case of Employer.

        Seventeenth: Waiver of Breach

in escrow in order to ensure performance of all repurchase rights Mercury may
have in the Stock as and when such right becomes exercisable. The Certificates,
together with a stock assignment duly executed in blank with signatures
appropriately guaranteed or witnessed, are being retained by Mercury's Corporate
Counsel, as the pledgeholder and escrow holder for the Stock.

purchased hereunder shall have endorsed upon them a legend substantially as
