                  b. Such actions as increasing Parent payments on Mexican
                  Products or moving labor from Mexico to China would not be
                  considered as cost reductions.

            2. Improving customer ship dates will be measured and weighed on a
            discretionary basis at year end and approximately $5,000 of the year
            end bonus will be allocated at the Board's discretion based upon the
            percent improvement of product shipped on time as compared to fiscal
            2006 from the Decatur facility.

            3. The remainder of up to $25,000 will be based upon your
            achievements as determined by the Board in reducing costs and other
            activities that directly increase profits on out bound and in bound
            freight, lowering labor costs at the Decatur facility and increasing
            Uniland productivity and profits.

            awarded and similar goals will be implemented for you for the fiscal

           death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent
           generally available to other peer executives of the Company. As it

           payment of which shall be made to your estate or your beneficiary as
           designated in writing to the Company. Your estate or designated
           beneficiaries as applicable shall also receive a pro-rata portion of
           the Incentive Bonus, if any, determined for the fiscal year up to and
           including the date of death which shall be determined in good faith
           by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

           Your beneficiaries shall also be entitled to all other benefits
           generally paid by the Company on an employee's death.

3.2.       DISABILITY. Your employment shall terminate if you become totally
           disabled. You shall be deemed to be totally disabled if you are

           for a period of ninety consecutive days, or for periods aggregating
           120 days in any period of 180 consecutive days.

3.3        TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Executive's
           employment during the Employment Period for "Cause", which shall mean
           termination based upon: (i) the Executive's failure to substantially
           perform his duties with the Company (other than as a result ofa
           disability, which shall be governed by Section 3.2), after a written
           demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by
           the Company, which specifically identifies the manner in which the
           Executive has not substantially performed his duties, (ii) the
           Executive's commission of an act of fraud, theft, misappropriation,
           dishonesty or embezzlement, (iii) the Executive's conviction for a
           felony or pleading nolo contendere to a felony, (iv) the Executive's
           failure to follow a lawful directive of the Board of Directors, or
           (v) the Executive's material breach of any provision of this
           Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be
           deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until (i) he
           receives a Notice of Termination from the Company, (ii) he is given
           the opportunity, with counsel, to be heard before the Board, and
           (iii) the Board finds, in its good faith opinion, the Executive was
           guilty of the conduct set forth in the Notice of Termination.

3.4        GOOD REASON. The Executive may terminate his employment with the
           Company for "Good Reason", which shall mean:

3.4(a)     the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any
           respect with the Executive's position (including status, offices,
           titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or
           responsibilities as contemplated by Section 2.2 (a) or any other
           action by the Company which results in a material diminution in such
           position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this
           purpose any action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by
           the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the
           Executive;

3.4(b)     (i) in the event of and after the occurrence of a Triggering
           Transaction, the failure by the Company to continue in effect any
           benefit or compensation plan, stock ownership plan, life insurance
           plan, health and accident plan or disability plan to which the
           Executive is entitled as specified in Section 2.4,
           (ii) the taking of any action by the Company which would adversely
           affect the Executive's participation in, or materially reduce the
           Executive's benefits under, any plans to which the Executive is
           entitled as specified in Section 2.4, or deprive the Executive of any
           material fringe benefit enjoyed by the Executive as described in
           Section 2.4 (f), or
           (iii) the failure by the Company to provide the Executive with paid
           vacation to which the Executive is entitled as described in Section
           2.4 (g).

                                       5
<PAGE>

3.4(c)     in the event of and after the occurrence of a Triggering
           Transaction, the Company's requiring the Executive to be based at any
           office or location other than that described in Section 2.3;

3.4(d)     a material breach by the Company of any provision of this
           Agreement; such breach by the Company shall require Executive to
           provide the Company a written notice describing with specificity the
           nature of the contractual breach and the Company shall have 30 days
           to cure such breach.

3.4(e)     within a period ending at the close of business on the date one
           (1) year after the Triggering Transaction Date of any Change in
           Control, if the Company has failed to comply with and satisfy Section
           6.2 on or after such Triggering Transaction Date.

3.5        NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any termination by the Company for Cause or
           Disability, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be
           communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party, given in
           accordance with Section 7.2. For purposes of this Agreement, a
           "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates
           the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon,
           (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the
           facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
           the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated, and
           (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 3.6 hereof)
           is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the
           termination date (which date shall be not more than thirty (30) days
           after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the
           Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or
           circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause
           shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company hereunder
           or preclude the Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or
           circumstance in enforcing the Executive's or the Company's rights
           hereunder.

3.6        DATE OF TERMINATION. "Date of Termination" means (i) if the
           Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by
           the Executive for Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be the
           date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date
           specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive's
           employment is terminated by reason of death, the Date of Termination
           shall be the date of death of the Executive, or (iii) if the
           Executive's employment is terminated for any other reason, the Date
           of Termination shall be the date of receipt of the Notice of
           Termination.

SECTION 4:      CERTAIN BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION.

4.1        TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR FOR GOOD REASON. If, (i) the Company
           shall terminate the Executive's employment without Cause, or (ii) the
           Executive shall terminate employment with the Company for Good
           Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the payment of the
           benefits provided below as of the Date of Termination:

4.1(a)     Accrued Obligations. Within thirty (30) days after the Date of
           Termination, the

                                       6
<PAGE>

           Company shall pay to the Executive the sum of (1) the Executive's
           Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not
           previously paid, (2) the accrued benefit payable to the Executive
           under any deferred compensation plan, program or arrangement in which
           the Executive is a participant subject to the computation of benefits
           provisions of such plan, program or arrangement, and (3) any accrued
           vacation pay; in each case to the extent not previously paid (the
           "Accrued Obligation").

           In addition, on the date that Incentive Bonuses are paid to other
           peer executives for the year in which the Executive's employment is
           terminated, the Executive will be paid an amount equal to the product
           of the Current Target Bonus multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
           of which is the number of days during the fiscal year for which the
           Incentive Bonus is paid prior to the Date of Termination and
           denominator of which is 365. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
           "Current Target Bonus" means the Incentive Bonus that would have been
           paid to the Executive for the fiscal year in which the termination of
           employment occurred, if the Executive's employment had not been so
           terminated and the Executive had earned 100% of the Incentive Bonus
           that he could have earned for that year.

4.1(b)     Annual Base Salary and Target Bonus Continuation. For the
           remainder of the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to the
           Executive, the Executive's then-current Annual Base Salary and
           Current Target Bonus as would have been paid to the Executive had the
           Executive remained in the Company's employ throughout the Employment
           Period; provided that in all cases the Executive shall receive, at
           minimum, the then-current Annual Base Salary and Current Target Bonus
           for the remainder of the Employment Period, or for a period beginning
           on the Date of Termination and ending one year thereafter, whichever
           is longer. The Company at any time may elect to pay the balance of
           such payments then remaining in a lump sum, in which case the total
           of such payments shall be discounted to present value on the basis of
           the applicable Federal short-term monthly rate as determined
           according to Code Section 1274 (s) for the month in which the
           Executive's Date of Termination occurred.

4.1(c)     Medical and Health Benefit Continuation. For a period of two
           years beginning on the Date of Termination, the Company shall
           continue medical and health benefits to the Executive and/or the
           Executive's family at least equal to those which would have been
           provided to them if the Executive's employment had not been
           terminated, in accordance with the plans, practices, programs or
           policies of the Company as those provided generally to other peer
           executives and their families; provided, however, that if the
           Executive becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible
           to receive medical or health benefits under another employer-provided
           plan, the medical and health benefits described herein shall be
           secondary to those provided under such other plan during such
           applicable period of eligibility. In the event Executive is able to
           obtain medical and health care coverage from a third party for the
           duration of such coverage period that is at least as good in all
           material respects as that described in the immediately preceding
           sentence, Executive agrees to accept, in lieu of such Company
           provided medical and health benefits, a lump sum cash payment in an
           amount equal in value to the entire cost to Executive on an after-tax
           basis of such alternate medical and health care coverage.

                                       7
<PAGE>

4.1(d)     Other Benefits. To the extent not previously paid or provided,
           the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive and/or the
           Executive's family any other amounts or benefits required to be paid
           or provided for which the Executive and/or the Executive's family is
           eligible to receive pursuant to this Agreement and under any plan,
           program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company
           as those provided generally to other peer executives and their
           families ("Other Benefits").

4.2        DEATH. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of the
           Executive's death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall
           terminate without further obligations to the Executive's legal
           representatives under this Agreement, other than for (i) payment of
           Accrued Obligations (as defined in Section 4.1 (a)) (which shall be
           paid to the Executive's estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a
           lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination)
           and (ii) the timely payment or provision ofany other benefit(s)
           generally provided by the Company upon the death of an employee of
           the Company, including death benefits pursuant to the terms of any
           plan, policy, or arrangement of the Company.

4.3        DISABILITY. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of
           the Executive's Disability during the Employment Period, , this
           Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the
           Executive, other than for (i) payment of Accrued Obligations (as
           defined in Section 4.1 (a)) (which shall be paid to the Executive in
           a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of
           Termination) and (ii) the timely payment or provision of any other
           benefit(s) generally provided by the Company upon the Disability of
           an employee, including Disability benefits pursuant to the terms of
           any plan, policy or arrangement of the Company.

4.4        TERMINATION FOR CAUSE; OTHER THAN GOOD REASON. If the Executive's
           employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Employment
           Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to
           the Executive other than the obligations to pay to the Executive his
           Accrued Compensation (as defined in this Section). If the Executive
           terminates employment with the Company during the Employment Period,
           (excluding a termination for Good Reason), this Agreement shall
           terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than
           for the payment of Accrued Compensation (as defined in this Section).
           In such case, all Accrued compensation shall be paid to the Executive
           in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of
           Termination.

           For the purpose of this Section, the term "Accrued Compensation"
           means the sum of (i) the Executive's Annual Base Salary through the
           Date of Termination to the extent not previously paid, (ii) any
           compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any
           accrued interest or earnings thereon), and (iii) any accrued vacation
           pay; in each case, to the extent not previously paid.

4.5        NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS; SUPERSESSION OF CERTAIN BENEFITS. Except
           as provided in Section 4.1 (c) and in this Section 4.6, nothing in
           this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or
           future participation in any plan,

                                       8
<PAGE>

           program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which the
           Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise
           affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or
           agreement with the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits of
           which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan,
           policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement with,
           the Company at or subsequent to the Date of Termination, shall be
           payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or
           contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this
           Agreement.

SECTION 5:      NON-COMPETITION.

5.1        NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT

5.1(a)     It is agreed that during the Term of this Agreement and for a period
           of two (2) years thereafter, the Executive shall not, without prior
           written approval of the Board, become an officer, employee, agent,
           partner, consultant, beneficial/owner, agent, investor, or director
           of any business enterprise in substantial direct competition (as
           defined in Section 5.1(b)) with the Company; provided that, if the
           Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or if the
           Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, then he will not
           be subject to the restrictions of this Section.

5.1(b)     For purposes of Section 5.1, a business enterprise with which the
           Executive becomes associated as an officer, employee, agent, partner,
           consultant, beneficial/owner, agent, investor or director shall be
           considered in substantial direct competition, if such entity competes
           with the Company in any business in which the Company is engaged and
           is within the Company's market area as of the date that the Term of
           this Agreement expires.

5.1(c)     The above constraint shall not prevent the Executive from making
           passive investments, not to exceed five percent (5%), in any
           enterprise.

5.1(d)     It is agreed that during the Term of this Agreement and for a period
           of two (2) years thereafter, the Executive shall not, directly or
           indirectly, hire, offer to hire, or otherwise solicit the employment
           of any employee of the Company on behalf of himself or any business
           enterprise in substantial direct competition (as defined in Section
           5.1(b)) with the Company.

5.1(e)     CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary
           capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential
           information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its
           affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall
           have been obtained by the Executive during or as a result of the
           Executive's employment by the Company and which shall not be or
           become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or
           representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement).
           After termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the
           Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the
           Company, or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process,
           communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to
           anyone other than the Company

                                       9
<PAGE>

           and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation
           of the provisions of this Section constitute a basis for deferring or
           withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this
           Agreement.

5.1(f)     The Executive agrees that the foregoing restrictions are
           reasonable and shall not prevent the Executive from earning a
           livelihood, and furthermore, if any court of competent jurisdiction
           deems any of the provisions of the foregoing invalid, this Agreement
           shall be enforced to the full extent that such provisions are valid
           and such court may modify such restrictions to afford the Company the
           maximum applicable protection permitted under the law.

5.1(g)     Should Executive be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction
           to be in violation of this Section 5.1, all amounts owed Executive
           pursuant to this Agreement shall be forfeited, and the Company shall
           be entitled to injunctive or such other equitable relief as is
           necessary to restrain Executive's breaching conduct.

5.2        DEVELOPMENTS. It is agreed that all developments, including
           ------------
           inventions, whether patentable or otherwise, trade secrets,
           formulations, discoveries, concepts, processes, improvements, ideas
           or writings, or know-how related thereto, which directly or
           indirectly relate to or may be useful in the design, manufacture,
           packaging or marketing of the Company's products or otherwise in the
           business of the Company or which directly or indirectly result from
           or are related to any services the Executive has rendered, is or will
           be engaged in rendering for the Company which the Executive, either
           by himself or in conjunction with any other person or persons, shall
           conceive, make, develop, acquire or acquire knowledge of during the
           employment relationship or because of the employment relationship
           (the "developments"), shall become and remain the sole and exclusive
           property of the Company. The Executive hereby assigns, transfers and
           conveys all of his right, title and interest in and to any and all
           such developments and to promptly disclose all such developments to
           the Company. Upon the request of the Company, the Executive will
           execute and deliver any and all instruments, documents and papers,
           give evidence and do any and all other acts which are or may be
           necessary or desirable to document such transfer or to enable the
           Company to file and prosecute applications for and to acquire,
           maintain and enforce any and all patents, trademark registrations or
           copyrights under United States or foreign law with respect to any
           such developments or to obtain any extension, validation, reissue,
           continuance or renewal of any such patent, trademark or copyright.

           proceedings and will reimburse the Executive for reasonable expenses
           incurred complying with the provisions of this paragraph.

SECTIONS 6:     SUCCESSORS.

6.1        SUCCESSORS OF EXECUTIVE. This Agreement is personal to the Executive
           and, without the prior written consent of the Company, the rights
           (but not the obligations) shall not be assignable by the Executive
           otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This
           Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
           Executive's legal representatives.

6.2        SUCCESSORS OF COMPANY. The Company will require any successor
           (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
           otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets
           of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this
           Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company
           would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken
           place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the
           effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this
           Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to terminate the Agreement
           at his option on or after the Triggering Transaction Date for Good
           Reason. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company
           as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or
           assets which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by
           operation of law, or otherwise.

SECTION 7:      MISCELLANEOUS.

7.1        OTHER AGREEMENTS. The Board may, from time to time, in the future,
           provide other incentive programs and bonus arrangements to the
           Executive with respect to the occurrence of a Triggering Event that
           will be in addition to the benefits required to be paid in the
           designated circumstances in connection with the occurrence of a
           Triggering Transaction. Such additional incentive programs and/or
           bonus arrangements will affect or abrogate the benefits to be paid
           under this Agreement only in the manner and to the extent explicitly
           agreed to by the Executive in any such subsequent program or
           arrangement.

7.2         NOTICE. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other

            certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage

           with any provision hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or

           hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive
