      3.    DUTIES.

            (a) General Duties. The Executive shall serve as Senior Vice
President of the Company, with duties and responsibilities that are customary
for such position. The Executive shall report directly to the Company's

duties and discharge his responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement
competently, carefully and faithfully.

            (b) Devotion of Time. The Executive shall devote all of his time,
attention and energies during normal business hours (exclusive of periods of

      4.    COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES.

            (a) Salary. For the services of the Executive to be rendered under
this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Executive an annual salary of $290,000
(the "Base Salary"), payable in accordance with the Company's normal payroll
practices. The Base Salary shall be increased each year by an amount equal to
the greater of (i) 4% in excess of the prior year's Base Salary, (ii) the cost
of living increase based upon the Consumer Price Index calculated upon the
commencement of each year of the Agreement using the prior month as the
measuring month published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (or similar
successor index), or (iii) such other amount as may be approved by the
compensation committee of the Company's board of directors (the "Compensation
Committee"). The Consumer Price Index increase calculation shall be calculated
as follows:

            Commencing with the one year anniversary of the commencement of the
            term and the beginning of each year thereafter during the term of
            this Agreement, the Executive's annual salary shall be adjusted in
            accordance with the Consumer Price Index, all Urban Consumers issued
            by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor
            using the years 1982-84 as a base of 100 (the "Index"). At the
            commencement of the second year, and of each year thereafter, the
            Executive's adjusted Base Salary shall be multiplied each year by a
            fraction, the numerator of which shall be the published Index number
            for the month preceding the commencement of the new year, i.e.,
            September 2004, and the denominator of which shall be the published
            Index number for the month of September 2003. The resulting increase
            to the Executive's Base Salary shall be added to the prior year's
            Base Salary and become a part thereof for the current year. In the
            event that the Index herein referred to ceases to be published
            during the term of this Agreement, or if a substantial change is
            made in the method of establishing such index, then the
            determination of the adjustment in the Executive's compensation
            shall be made with the use of such conversion factor, formula or
            table as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or if
            none is available, the parties shall accept comparable statistics on
            the cost of living in the United States as shall then be computed
            and published by an agency of the United States, or if not by a
            respected financial periodical selected by the Company.

            (b) Plan Bonus I. In addition to any other compensation received
pursuant to this Agreement, commencing with the one year anniversary of the date
of this Agreement and subject to continued employment on that date, the
Executive shall on the same date each year receive an annual bonus in the amount
of $100,000 subject to the Executive achieving reasonable goals set by the
Company's Executive Vice President in consultation with the Executive and
approved by the Compensation Committee.

            (c) Plan Bonus II. In addition to any other compensation received
pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive shall receive upon execution of this

Company's common stock. On the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement
and subject to continued employment on that date, the Executive shall receive an
additional grant of 4,000 shares of common stock. On the third anniversary of
the date of this Agreement and subject to continued employment on that date, the
Executive shall receive an additional grant of 6,000

                                       3

and subject to continued employment on that date, the Executive shall receive an
additional grant of 8,000 shares of common stock. In each instance prior to
issuance of the stock certificate, the Executive shall execute a Restricted
Stock Agreement in the form annexed as Exhibit A.

            (d) Incentive Bonus. In addition to any other compensation received
pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to continued employment on September 30
of the applicable year, the Executive shall receive 5% of any net pre-tax
earnings from the Company's operations generated by SFBC New Drug Services, Inc.
and Danapharm, Inc. above the following base amounts: $2 million for the 12
months ending September 30, 2004, and $2.5 million for the 12 months ending

time-to-time as mutually agreed upon by the parties after taking into
consideration factors including but not limited to future acquisitions that
provide services similar to those of SFBC New Drug Services, Inc. and Danapharm,

under this Agreement, the Executive becomes indebted to the Company for any
reason, the Company may, if it so elects, set off any sum due to the Company
from the Executive and collect any remaining balance from the Executive.

      13. ASSIGNABILITY. The rights and obligations of the Company under this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the Company, provided that such

                                       9
<PAGE>
successor or assign shall acquire all or substantially all of the securities
(via merger or otherwise) or assets and business of the Company. The Executive's
obligations hereunder may not be assigned or alienated and any attempt to do so
by the Executive will be void.

      14.   SEVERABILITY.

            (a) The Executive expressly agrees that the character, duration and
geographical scope of the non-competition provisions set forth in this Agreement
are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date hereof.
Should a decision, however, be made at a later date by a court of competent
jurisdiction that the character, duration or geographical scope of such
provisions is unreasonable, then it is the intention and the agreement of the
Executive and the Company that this Agreement shall be construed by the court in
such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the Executive's conduct
that are reasonable in the light of the circumstances and as are necessary to
assure to the Company the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial
proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed
included herein because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to
assure to the Company the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the provisions of this
Agreement that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to
be enforced in such proceeding shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of
such proceeding, from this Agreement.

            (b) If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be
invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or
jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered
divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such
state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from
either of the parties to the other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provision was not
included.

      15. NOTICES AND ADDRESSES. All notices, offers, acceptance and any other
acts under this Agreement (except payment) shall be in writing, and shall be
sufficiently given if delivered to the addressees in person, by Federal Express
or similar receipted overnight delivery, or by facsimile or e-mail delivery
followed by a copy sent by Federal Express or similar receipted overnight
delivery, as follows:

         one bank account and less than $3,000,000 in the aggregate for all such
         bank accounts, and (iii) the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees
         that neither the Agent nor any Lender waives or relinquishes any of its

         including without limitation, any security interest granted therein, by
         permitting the Borrower or any Subsidiary to hold Inventory at a
