EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT     Texas/LA

<PAGE>

                        EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This Agreement, made and entered into this Insert_____ day of ______________,
2001 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), by and between ULTRASTRIP SYSTEMS, INC., a Florida
corporation, whose principal office is located at 3515 SE Lionel Terrace,
Stuart, Florida 34996 (the "MANUFACTURER"), and ROBOTIC ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES,
L.L.C., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Louisiana, whose
principal office is located at 11479 Darryl Drive, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 70815
(the "DISTRIBUTOR"). The Manufacturer and the Distributor are sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Parties" and sometimes individually referred to
as a "Party."

                                    RECITALS

A.       Manufacturer manufactures a robotic coating removal device, currently
         identified as the ULTRASTRIP ROBOTIC SYSTEM, which system includes the
         collective assemblage of equipment identified in the attached Addendum
         #1 (collectively, the "PRODUCT or PRODUCTS").

B.       Distributor desires to utilize the Products for the purpose of removing
         coatings in all non-blue water commercial applications, which include
         without limitation, petroleum storage tanks located on land, oil
         exploration and production facilities located on and off-shore, and
         barges utilized on rivers, but exclude ocean going vessels and
         shipyards utilized by ocean going vessels (the "REMOVAL SERVICES" or
         "SERVICES").

C.       Distributor desires to acquire the exclusive right to (I) distribute
         and sell the Products in the States of Texas and Louisiana (the
         "TERRITORY"), and (II) utilize the Products for the purpose of
         performing Removal Services within the Territory and on oil production
         facilities located in the Gulf of Mexico, within one-hundred (100)
         miles of the south boundary of the Territory; provided, however,
         Distributor shall have no exclusive right to distribute and sell the
         Products to, or perform Removal Services for, the owners of ocean going
         vessels or shipyards utilized by ocean going vessels (collectively, the
         "EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE RIGHTS", or "EXCLUSIVE
         DISTRIBUTORSHIP") . Distributor also desires to acquire an option to be
         the exclusive distributor of the Products in the Country of Venezuela
         (the "VENEZUELA OPTION"). The terms of the Venezuela Option are set
         forth in the attached Addendum #1.

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

1.       RECITALS

         The foregoing Recitals are true, accurate, and incorporated into this
Agreement.

2.       APPOINTMENT

         2.1      Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Manufacturer grants
                  Distributor the Exclusive Distribution and Service Rights for
                  the Products (including any improvements to said Products now
                  or hereafter developed by Manufacturer) in the Territory, and
                  Distributor hereby accepts such appointment (the
                  "APPOINTMENT").

         2.2      The Appointment shall commence upon Distributor's completion
                  of the preconditions set forth on the schedule attached hereto
                  as Addendum #1 ("PRECONDITIONS"). In the event Distributor
                  fails to satisfy the Preconditions within the times and dates
                  specified, this Agreement shall automatically and immediately
                  terminate, whereupon the parties shall be relieved of all
                  further obligation or liability hereunder.

         TERM; OPTION TO RENEW; MINIMUM SALES QUOTA

         3.1      Unless sooner terminated in accordance herewith, this
                  Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue
                  for a Term of five (5) years "(the "TERM"); provided, however,
                  at any time after the expiration of the third (3rd) year
                  Distributor shall agree to make such changes or modifications
                  to the Agreement as (i) may be deemed necessary or desirable
                  by Manufacturer's bankers or insurance company, or (ii)
                  facilitate either party's compliance with any law or
                  regulation; provided, further, Manufacturer shall not change
                  the location or size of the Territory, charge a fee to renew
                  the Agreement, or require Distributor to execute an agreement
                  that is materially different than the most current form of
                  distribution agreement utilized by Manufacturer in the United
                  States; provided, however, the Term shall terminate if
                  Distributor purchases less than the MINIMUM SALES QUOTA (as
                  defined in Addendum #1); provided, further, the Minimum Sales
                  Quota may be increased annually, commencing three (3) years
                  from the Effective Date, to such larger amount as Manufacturer
                  may require in its reasonable discretion, which shall be based
                  on (I) Distributor's historic performance in the Territory,
                  (II) historic performance in other territories, and (III)
                  projections of future performance, all of which shall not be
                  unreasonable; provided, however, the parties agree in advance
                  that the Minimum Sales Quota in year four (4) shall be four
                  (4) Systems and in year five (5) shall be five (5) Systems per
                  year. In the event Distributor is not in default of any of its
                  obligations hereunder sixty (60) days prior to the expiration
                  of the Term of this Agreement or any renewal thereof,
                  Manufacturer shall provide Distributor with a copy of its then
                  current form of Distribution Agreement. Distributor shall have
                  the option (the "OPTION," or "OPTION TO RENEW") to continue to
                  function as a distributor of the Products for a term of three
                  (3) years (each a "RENEWAL TERM"), which Option may be
                  exercised by executing the then current form of agreement
                  utilized by Manufacturer and returning same to Manufacturer
                  prior to the expiration of the Term or, if renewed, any
                  subsequent Renewal Term.

<PAGE>
         3.2      Distributor may terminate this Agreement at any time by
                  providing Manufacturer with not less than thirty (30) days
                  advance written notice of same.

         EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICES

         4.1      During the Term of this Agreement (or any renewal thereof),
                  all Key Persons (as hereinafter defined) and Distributor shall
                  not in any manner market, utilize, distribute or sell any
                  products which are competitive with the Products. For purposes
                  of this Agreement, competitive products shall include without
                  limitation any equipment, machinery, device, apparatus, or
                  accessories utilized for the purpose of removing coatings.

         4.2.     During the Term of this Agreement, Distributor may market,
                  utilize, distribute or sell the Products in all locations
                  outside the Territory, so long as Manufacturer does not notify
                  Distributor of any locations or territories in which it has
                  appointed a new exclusive distributor or otherwise determined
                  that it will become the exclusive distributor of its Products
                  (each an "EXCLUDED TERRITORY"). Within thirty (30) days of
                  Manufacturer's notice of establishment of a Excluded
                  Territory, Distributor shall cease and forever terminate any
                  and all activities involving its utilization, distribution,
                  marketing or sale of the Products within the Excluded
                  Territory; provided, however, Distributor shall be entitled to
                  utilize the Products for the purpose of completing any Removal
                  Services it became contractually obligated to perform on or
                  before the date of Manufacturer's notice establishing said
                  Excluded Territory; provided further, Distributor shall have
                  no right to continue to provide Removal Services unless
                  Distributor supplies Manufacturer with a true and correct copy
                  of any applicable contract for Removal services within ten
                  (10) days of Manufacturer's notice establishing the Excluded
                  Territory.

5.       ORDERS AND PRICES

         5.1      The prices for all Products purchased by Distributor shall be
                  based on price lists published by Manufacturer, plus all

                  shall be in writing, addressed to Distributor.

         5.3      All prices quoted herein are in United States Dollars. All
                  prices quoted in any price list now or hereafter published by

                  Manufacturer's bank, in an amount not less than the remaining
                  balance of the Purchase Price, and providing that it may be
                  immediately drawn upon by Manufacturer in the event said
                  remaining balance of the Purchase Price is not paid by
                  Distributor within thirty (30) days of the earlier of (A)

                  been completed and are ready for delivery to Distributor's
                  freight carrier.

         6.2      Every payment by Distributor to Manufacturer hereunder shall
                  be in U.S. dollars via (A) irrevocable bank letter of credit
                  issued by a bank acceptable to the Manufacturer and

                  account, or (C) such other financial instrument as may be
                  acceptable to the Manufacturer, in Manufacturer's sole
                  discretion.

7.       DELIVERY; INVENTORY

         7.1      Delivery of all Products shall be given and taken at the
                  Manufacturer's production facility located at 3515 SE Lionel

                  Manufacturer shall designate by written notice to Distributor
                  ("MANUFACTURER'S PLANT"). Risk of loss of the Products shall
                  pass to the Distributor upon delivery of the Products to
                  Distributor (or Distributor's freight carrier).

         7.2      Manufacturer shall have the right to allocate deliveries of
                  Product among all distributors in the event of a shortage of
                  supply of Products, in such manner as Manufacturer, in its
                  sole discretion, shall determine.

8.       TRAINING, DEMONSTRATION AND USE OF PRODUCTS

         8.1      Distributor will maintain a properly trained sales force of
                  adequate size to represent and promote sales of the Products
                  throughout the Territory. Such sales force shall be kept
                  properly informed as to all of the advertising and marketing
                  programs and policies of Manufacturer, and shall pursue said
                  programs and policies in a manner reflecting the high
                  standards and business reputation of Manufacturer. It is
                  expressly agreed that, while Manufacturer shall provide
                  Distributor with technical assistance and copies of all sales
                  materials it has developed, Distributor shall be responsible
                  for developing its own marketing plan and system for selling
                  the Products. Distributor shall at all times conduct its
                  activities hereunder in strict accordance with all laws and
                  regulations of the Territory, and consistent with the highest
                  ethical and commercial standards.

         8.2      Distributor shall not demonstrate or permit the use of the
                  Products by any person(s) other than persons who have
                  successfully completed the Manufacturer's Training Course as
                  outlined herein and have been duly certified by the
                  Manufacturer to operate the Product. At any time after the
                  first ninety (90) days of this Agreement, Distributor may
                  develop its own training course utilizing personnel who have
                  completed Manufacturer's Training Course. In the event
                  Distributor is able to demonstrate to Manufacturer's
                  reasonable satisfaction that Distributor's training course
                  offers competent and thorough instruction in the use of the
                  Products, Distributor shall thereafter be entitled to permit
                  the use of the Products by any person(s) who has successfully
                  completed Distributor's training course and have been duly
                  certified by the Distributor to operate the Product.

         8.3      MANUFACTURER'S TRAINING COURSE. Within thirty (30) days of the
                  Effective Date hereof, Manufacturer shall provide on-site
                  training for the benefit of Distributor at Distributor's
                  principal place of business or such other location as the
                  parties may agree. Distributor will be solely responsible for
                  all expenses of Manufacturer's training staff including, but
                  not limited to, all transportation expenses such as airfare,
                  suitable lodging of up to $150.00 per day for Manufacturer's
                  technicians and $250.00 per day for Manufacturer's management
                  and salespersons ("TRAINING EXPENSES"). Manufacturer shall

                  costs, expenses and attorney's fees. On termination of this
                  Agreement, Distributor shall deliver to Manufacturer all such
                  confidential information and materials, together with all
                  copies thereof.

                  any act of God, strike or other industrial disturbance, lack
                  of materials, law, regulation, war or war conditions, or by

                  the specific location of any such Products.

27.      DISTRIBUTORS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         27.1     Distributor represents, warrants and agrees that it has full
                  right and authority to enter into this Agreement. If
                  Distributor is a corporation or limited liability company,
                  Distributor makes the following additional representations and
                  warranties to Manufacturer:

                  (a) Corporate Existence. Distributor is a corporation or
                  limited liability company duly organized and validly existing
                  under the laws of the State of Louisiana. Distributor has all
                  requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now
                  being conducted, or a contemplated hereby.

                  (b) Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of
                  this Agreement have been duly authorized and approved by the
                  board of directors and shareholders or members of Distributor,
                  and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of
                  Distributor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

                  c) Not Subject to Third Party Approval. The execution and
                  delivery of this Agreement by Distributor and the consummation
                  of the transactions contemplated hereunder, will not require
                  the authorization, consent or approval of any third party,
                  including any governmental subdivision or regulatory agency.

28.      SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE; ENFORCEMENT

         28.1     Each of the parties acknowledges that damages at law would be
                  an inadequate remedy if this Agreement is not specifically
                  enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened
                  breach by any party of any provision of this Agreement, the
                  other party shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights
                  and remedies, to injunctions restraining such breach, without
                  being required to post any bond or other security, and/or to a
                  decree of specific performance of the provisions of this
                  Agreement.

         28.2     In the event Manufacturer incurs any cost, expense or
                  professional fees (including without limitation court costs
                  and attorney's fees) associated with the enforcement of this
                  Agreement (collectively, "Enforcement Costs"), Distributor
                  shall promptly reimburse Manufacturer, or Manufacturer shall,
                  at its option, have the right to deduct such Enforcement Costs
                  or Damages from any monies payable to Distributor hereunder.

29.      PRODUCT WARRANTY

         29.1     Manufacturer warrants to Distributor that the Products were
                  manufactured in accordance with their written specifications
                  when shipped to Distributor, and that for the first ninety
                  (90) days after delivery to Distributor the Products shall be
                  free from such material defect as would render the Products
                  unsuitable for use in the normal course; provided, however,
                  this limited warranty shall only apply if: (I) the Products
                  are used and maintained by Distributor as directed by all
                  applicable documentation and instructions issued by
                  Manufacturer and any warranty claim is unrelated to the
                  negligence, accident or act of Distributor or any third party;
                  (II) Distributor has paid Manufacturer all sums due hereunder;
                  (III) the Products have not in any way been modified; and (IV)
                  any warranty claim is unrelated to the failure of Products to
                  function in accordance with Manufacturer's specifications, or
                  to any Products normally consumed during use; provided,
                  further,

                  Distributor shall immediately notify Manufacturer of any
                  defect giving rise to a warranty claim, whereupon Manufacturer
                  shall have a reasonable period of time to repair or cure said
                  defect, failing which the subject Products shall be returned
                  to Manufacturer, and Manufacturer shall thereafter refund the
                  Purchase Price to Distributor.

         29.2     Distributor's sole remedy under or related to this Agreement
                  shall be a refund.

                  STATUTORY, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
                  LIMITATION, MERCHANTABILITY, HIDDEN DEFECTS, DURABILITY,
                  SUITABILITY, OR PRODUCT'S FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
                  COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OF TRADE,
                  NON-INFRINGEMENT OR OTHERWISE, AND MANUFACTURER HEREBY
                  DISCLAIMS ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY. MANUFACTURER
                  SHALL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS
                  OR DAMAGE, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, ORDINARY, EXEMPLARY,
                  CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS
                  CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL
                  MANUFACTURER'S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALL KINDS ARISING OUT OF OR
                  RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY
                  DISTRIBUTOR TO MANUFACTURER.

         29.4     Manufacturer agrees to provide copies of all available
                  warranties from manufacturers of components utilized in the
                  Products.

         30.1     The failure or delay of any party at any time to require
                  performance by another party of any provision of this
                  Agreement, even if known, will not affect the right of that
                  party to require performance of that provision or to exercise
                  any right, power or remedy, and any waiver by any party of any
                  breach of any provision of this Agreement should not be
                  construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach
                  of the provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a
                  waiver of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement.

31.      SURVIVAL

         31.1     All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made
                  in this Agreement or otherwise made in writing by any party
                  pursuant to this Agreement will survive the termination or
                  execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation
                  of the transactions contemplated.

32.      SEVERABILITY

         32.1     If any provision of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited
                  by or deemed invalid under applicable law or regulation, only
                  that provision will be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the
                  extent it is contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the
                  remainder will not be invalidated and will be given full force
                  and effect so far as possible.

                  of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
                  together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

34.      BINDING EFFECT

         (d)      Various hoses and accessories, as selected by Manufacturer

2.       "PRECONDITIONS". The Appointment shall commence upon Distributor's
         completion of the following preconditions (the "PRECONDITIONS"), and
         Manufacturer's issuance of written confirmation of same
         ("MANUFACTURER'S CONFIRMATION"):

         (a)      On or before the execution of this Agreement, Distributor
                  shall deliver to Manufacturer true and correct copies of it's
                  Financial Statements and Balance Sheet for the most recent two
                  (2) years, which documents shall be subject to Manufacturer's
                  review and approval, in Manufacturer's sole and absolute
                  discretion.

         (b)      Commencing one (1) day from the Effective date and ending 45
                  days thereafter, or upon completion of the Distributor's first
                  coatings removal job, whichever is the earliest, (the "TRIAL
                  PERIOD"), Distributor shall use the System for the purpose of
                  performing one (1) or more coating removal jobs. At the

                  representing the purchase price of one (1) System (the
                  "INITIAL Order"), and (II) deliver the Certificate of
                  Insurance to Manufacturer. Payment shall be in U.S. dollars
                  via bank wire transfer to Manufacturer's account.

3.       MINIMUM SALES QUOTA. In addition to the Initial Order, the minimum
         number of Systems Distributor shall purchase from Manufacturer (the

         (commencing from the Effective Date) shall be as follows:

         (a)      Five (5) Systems within the first two (2) years of this
                  Agreement (for a total number of six (6) Systems including the
                  initial order to be purchased in the first two (2) years),
                  with Distributor's Purchase Order for the first three (3)

<PAGE>

         (b)      Three (3) Systems within the third (3rd) year of this
                  Agreement, with Distributor's Purchase Order for the first
                  System due on or before twenty-five (25) months from the
                  Effective Date hereof, and subsequent Purchase Orders for each
                  of the remaining two (2) Systems due every four (4) months
                  thereafter.

         Notwithstanding the forgoing, each of the above-mentioned dates upon
which Distributor shall be obligated to pay for each System (each a "DUE DATE")
may be extended as follows:

         (i)      In the event Distributor acquires any System in advance of the
                  Due Date, Distributor shall receive a credit equal to the
                  number of days in advance of the Due Date it paid for such
                  System (a "CREDIT(S)").

         (ii)     In addition to the aforementioned Credit, at the commencement
                  of each year of the Term hereof, Distributor shall receive a
                  total of ninety (90) days additional Credit, which may be
                  utilized to extend any subsequent Due Date.

         All Credits, which are not utilized by Distributor in any year of the
Term, may be accumulated and thereafter utilized in subsequent years for the
purpose of extending any Due Date. Manufacturer shall compute and keep records
of all Credits, and in the event of a dispute between Distributor and
Manufacturer respecting the total number of Credits or their application,
Manufacturer's records shall be controlling and final.

4.       "MINIMUM LIABILITY INSURANCE" - Minimum Liability Insurance shall be
         $5,000,000.00 US dollars.

5.       VENEZUELA OPTION. In the event Distributor pays Manufacturer for at
         least four (4) Systems on or before June 30, 2002, Manufacturer shall
         offer Distributor the opportunity to become its exclusive distributor
         of Products for the territory of Venezuela (the "VENEZUELA OPTION). The
         Venezuela Option shall be subject to Distributors execution of
         Manufacturer's INTERNATIONAL EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT, which
         shall include without limitation, provision for Minimum Sales Quotas in
         such amounts as may be determined by Manufacturer in Manufacturer's
         sole and exclusive opinion.

Addendum #1 (collectively, the "AGREEMENT"). In the event of a conflict between
the Agreement and this Addendum #2, Adendum #2 shall control. Except as
specifically amended hereby, all terms and conditions of the Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.

I.       The Distributor shall be designated as Robotic Environmental Services,

         Persons (as hereinafter defined) and Distributor shall not in any
         manner market, utilize, distribute or sell any products which are
         competitive with the Products. For purposes of this Agreement,

         person or entity who is not an exclusive distributor that said person
         or entity shall not sell, lease, or perform Removal Services in the

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive, and
the Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company, pursuant to the
provisions contained in this Employment Agreement (the "Agreement");

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premise, and the respective
covenants and agreements of each of the Company and the Executive contained in
this Agreement, each of the Company and the Executive agrees as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                                   EMPLOYMENT
                                   ----------

         1.1 THE COMPANY. The Company employs the Executive and the Executive
accepts such employment. Subject to the direction of the Board of Directors of
the Company, the Executive shall serve as Director and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company. The Executive shall have such responsibilities, perform such
duties and exercise such power and authority as are inherent in, or incident to,
the offices of Director and Chief Executive Officer. The Executive shall devote
his full business time and attention, and his best efforts, to the diligent
performance of such duties.

         1.2 SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS. The Executive shall serve as Director and
Chief Executive Officer of each of the Company's following subsidiary

                                      ----

                                     SALARY
                                     ------

         3.1 INITIAL SALARY. In full payment for the obligations to be performed
by the Executive during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the
Executive a salary at an annual rate equal to the sum of One Hundred Twenty Five
Thousand Dollars ($ 125,000 ).

         3.2 ADJUSTMENT OF SALARY. As promptly as practicable after the
conclusion of each of the Company's fiscal years during the term of the
Executive's employment hereunder, the certified public accountants regularly
retained by the Company shall determine the increase, if any, in the cost of
living, using as the basis of such computation the current applicable Consumer
Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States
Department of Labor (the "Index"). Any such increase shall be computed as
follows:

                  (a) The Index number in the column for Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, entitled "all items," for the month of January (or such other month
immediately following the Company's fiscal year end in the event of a change in
the Company's fiscal year end) shall be the "Current Index Number" and the
corresponding Index number for the immediately preceding January (or such other
month immediately following the Company's fiscal year end in the event of a
change in the Company's fiscal year end), commencing with January 2002, shall be
the "Base Index Number."

                  (b) The increase in the cost of living shall be determined by
dividing the Current Index Number by the Base Index Number and subtracting the
integer 1 from the quotient thereof, and then multiplying the remainder by One
Hundred Percent (100%) in accordance with the following formula:

                    Increase
                     in           =    Current Index Number  -  1  x 100%
                  Cost of Living       --------------------
                                       Base Index Number

                  (c) The percentage increase in the cost of living, multiplied
by the Executive's then current salary, shall be the increase required to be
determined pursuant to this Section 3.2.

                  (d) If the publication of the Consumer Price Index is
discontinued for any reason, then the parties shall utilize comparable
statistics of the cost of living for the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the
City of Miami, Florida, Broward County, Florida, or Miami-Dade County, Florida,
as computed and published by an agency or instrumentality of the United States
of America or by a responsible financial periodical or recognized authority then
to be selected by the parties.

                  (e) In the absence of fraud or manifest error, any
determination made by the Company's accountants pursuant to this Section 3.2
shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and the Executive.

                  (f) The Executive's then current salary shall be adjusted as
of December 6 of each year, commencing as of December 6, 2003, in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 3.2 and such adjustment shall remain in
effect during such year.

         3.3 PAYMENT OF SALARY; ACCRUAL OF UNPAID SALARY. Payments of salary
shall be made to the Executive in installments from time to time on the same
dates payments of salary are generally made to all senior management employees
of the Company. In the event that the Company is unable to pay all or any part
of the Executive's salary, for no reason other than financial inability to do so
at the time a salary payment is due, such unpaid salary shall be accrued until
such time as payment in whole or in part can be made. The inability of the
Company to make any payment of the Executive's salary hereunder shall not
constitute a waiver thereof by the Executive.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                      BONUS

(3) weeks annually.

                           (i) Not later than the Termination Date specified in
                           the Termination Notice delivered by the Company to
                           the Executive, or by the Executive to the Company, as
                           the case may be, the Company shall pay to the
                           Executive an amount, in cash, equal to his "base
                           amount," as such term is defined in Section 280G of
                           the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
                           the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
                           determined as of the date of the Termination Notice,
                           multiplied by Two and Ninety-Nine One Hundredths
                           (2.99) (the "Change in Control Termination Amount")
                           (subject to applicable payroll and/or other taxes
                           required by law to be withheld); and

                           (ii) Any and all stock options granted to the
                           Executive under any stock option plan of the Company
                           as may from time to time be in effect, which shall
                           not by their terms have vested on or before such
                           Termination Date, shall vest on such Termination
                           Date.

                  (b) The Change in Control Termination Amount shall be
determined by the Company's regularly retained certified public accountants in
consultation with the Company's regularly retained attorneys. In making such
determination, the Company's regularly retained certified public accountants and
attorneys shall liberally construe the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder. In the
absence of fraud or manifest error, any determination made pursuant to this
Section 7.2(b) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and the
Executive.

                  (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) above, the amount paid by the Company to the
Executive shall be limited to the maximum amount which will not constitute a
"parachute payment," as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This limitation shall first be
applied to amounts provided pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 7.2(a) hereof
(otherwise included in the calculation of a parachute payment) to the extent
thereof and then to amounts provided pursuant to clause (i) of Section 7.2(a)
hereof.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                      CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE EXECUTIVE
                      -------------------------------------

         8.1 CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS. The Executive covenants and agrees with the
         Company as follows:

                                       12
<PAGE>

                  (a) He shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, for
himself or any other person, firm, corporation, partnership, association or
other entity (collectively, a "Person") which competes in any manner with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in the United States of America
or its territories and possessions or any other countries in which the Company
as of the date of termination of this Agreement conducts its business directly
or indirectly through any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the
"Territory"), employ, attempt to employ or enter into any contractual
arrangement for employment with, any employee or former employee of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, unless such former employee shall not
have been employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for a
period of at least one year.

                  (b) He shall not, during the term of this Agreement and for a
period of three years from and after the date of termination of this Agreement,
directly or indirectly, (i) acquire or own in any manner any interest in, or
loan any amount to, any Person which competes in any manner with the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in the Territory, (ii) be employed by or
serve as an employee, agent, officer, or director of, or as a consultant to, any
Person, other than the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, which
competes in any manner with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates in the
Territory, or (iii) compete in any manner with the Company or its subsidiaries
or affiliates in the Territory. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1(b)
shall not prevent the Executive from acquiring and owning not more than three
percent (3%) of the equity securities of any Person whose securities are listed
for trading on a national securities exchange or are regularly traded in the
over-the-counter securities market.

                  (c) In the course of the Executive's employment by the
Company, the Executive will have access to confidential or proprietary
information of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Executive
shall not at any time divulge or communicate to any Person, or use to the
detriment of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, any such
confidential or proprietary information. The term "confidential or proprietary
information" shall mean information not generally available to the public,
including without limitation personnel information, financial information,
customer lists, supplier lists, ownership information, marketing plans and
analyses, trade secrets, know-how, computer software, management agreements and
procedures and techniques of operating and managing the business of the Company
and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that
all confidential or proprietary information is and shall remain the property of
the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and agrees to maintain all such
confidential or proprietary information in strictest confidence.

         8.2 REMEDIES. It is recognized and acknowledged by each of the Company
and the Executive that a breach or violation by the Executive of any or all of
his covenants and agreements contained in Section 8.1 of this Agreement will
cause irreparable harm and damage to the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates in a monetary amount which would be virtually impossible to ascertain

                                       13
<PAGE>

and, therefore, will deprive the Company of an adequate remedy at law.
Accordingly, if the Executive shall breach or violate any or all of his
covenants and agreements set forth in Section 8.1 hereof, then the Company and
its subsidiaries and affiliates shall have resort to all equitable remedies,
including without limitation the remedies of specific performance and
injunction, both permanent and temporary, as well as all other remedies which
may be available at law.

       8.3 INTENT. It is the intent of the parties that the restrictions set
forth in Section 8.1 hereof shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible
under the laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement of
such restrictions may be sought. If any provision contained in Section 8.1
hereof shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid
or unenforceable because of its duration or geographic scope, then such
provision shall be reduced by such court in duration or geographic scope or both
to such extent as to make it valid and enforceable in the jurisdiction where
such court is located, and in all other respects shall remain in full force and
effect.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                            SUCCESSOR TO THE COMPANY
                            ------------------------

                  The Company shall require any successor, whether direct or
indirect, and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or
substantially all of the business or properties and assets of the Company, to
execute and deliver to the Executive, not later than the date of the
consummation of any such purchase, merger, consolidation or other transaction, a
written instrument in form and in substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Executive and his legal counsel pursuant to which any such successor shall agree
to assume and to perform on a timely basis or to cause to be performed on a
timely basis all of the Company's covenants, agreements and obligations set
forth in this Agreement (a "Successor Agreement"). The failure of the Company to
cause any such successor to execute and deliver a Successor Agreement to the
Executive shall (a) constitute a breach of the provisions of this Agreement by
the Company and (b) be deemed to constitute a termination by the Executive of
his employment hereunder (as of the date upon which any such successor shall
succeed to all or substantially all of the business or properties and assets of
the Company) for Good Reason.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                 ATTORNEYS' FEES
                                 ---------------

                  In the event that any litigation shall arise between the
Company and the Executive based, in whole or in part, upon this Agreement or any
or all of the provisions contained herein, then, in any such event, the
prevailing party in any such litigation shall be entitled to recover from the
non-prevailing party, and shall be awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction,
any and all reasonable fees and disbursements of trial and appellate counsel
paid, incurred or suffered by such prevailing party as the result of, arising
from, or in connection with, any such litigation.

sections had not been inserted.

by jury.

                  (d) The prevailing party in any such action or proceeding
