         This Second Amendment of Employment Agreement made as of the 30th day
of September, 2000, by and between DISABILITY REINSURANCE MANAGEMENT SERVICES,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Lisa O. Hansen, of Cape
Elizabeth, Maine ("Executive").

         WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to a certain Employment
Agreement, dated as of August 31, 1998 (the "Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4 of the Agreement, Executive has the
option, exercisable by notice given to the Company, to extend the Term of
Executive's employment under the Agreement for a further period that may extend
to September 30, 2001; and

         WHEREAS, Executive and the Company have mutually agreed that said
extension option shall be considered exercised concurrently with the execution
of this Second Amendment; and

         WHEREAS, as an inducement to, and in consideration of, Executive's
exercise of said extension option through September 30, 2001, the Company is
willing to execute and deliver this Second Amendment;

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and the
mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by both
parties hereto, the parties agree, effective the date hereof, the Agreement
shall be amended as follows:

         1.       In Section 1, amend the first sentence to read in its entirety
                  as follows:

         "The Company will employ Executive, and Executive will serve the
         Company, as a member of the Company's Board of Directors, a Managing
         Director of the Company, the Company's Corporate Secretary and an
         Executive Vice President of CORE and a member of the CORE Executive
         Management Team, all on the terms and conditions provided herein."

         2.       In Section 3, amend the third sentence to read in its entirety
                  as follows:

         "During the Executive Extension and thereafter, the employment of
         Executive hereunder shall continue until terminated (i) by Executive
         with at least 30 days' advance prior notice to the Company or (ii) by
         the Company or Executive pursuant to Section 8 hereof."

         3.       In Section 5:

         (a)      amend the first sentence of Section 5(a) by deleting
                  "$195,950" and substituting "$228,000 (effective January 1,
                  2000)" in its place.

         (b)      amend the second sentence of Section 5(a) to read in its
                  entirety as follows:

<PAGE>

         "Executive's salary shall not be reduced below the greater of this
         amount or the Executive's previous twelve months' total cash
         compensation (exclusive of bonuses) without Executive's consent."

         4.       In Section 7(a), amend the last sentence to read in its
                  entirety as follows:

         "Executive shall be entitled to carry no more than one and one half
         times the annual accrual rate of previously allowed vacation time
         except as otherwise permitted by CORE's policies."

         5.       In Section 8, add the following new paragraphs (e), (f) and
                  (g):

                  (e) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE; SEVERANCE. The Company may
         terminate Executive's employment without cause by giving written notice
         to Executive at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of
         such termination of employment without cause, in which event
         Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate and Executive shall be
         entitled to the following payments:

                  (i)      all amounts accrued and unpaid to Executive through
                           the termination date, including unpaid salary,
                           pro-rated earned bonus (if any), benefits and accrued
                           and unused vacation and sick time; and

                  (ii)     severance payments comprising salary and health care
                           and dental benefits continuing for twelve (12) months
                           from the date of termination, such salary
                           continuation payments to be made bi-weekly, or
                           otherwise consistent with the Company's payroll
                           policies and shall be subject to applicable federal,
                           state and local payroll tax deductions and
                           withholdings.

                  Notwithstanding the requisite 30-day notice period, the
         Company may elect to have Executive's services to the Company terminate
         immediately, provided the Company pays Executive compensation and
         benefits during the period after written notice has been delivered and
         prior to the effective termination date.

                  (f) CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event a "Change in Control" (as
         defined below) occurs during the term of this Agreement and Executive's
         employment is terminated by the Company without cause pursuant to
         Section 8(e) hereof (including a non-renewal of the term) within twelve
         (12) months of such a "Change in Control") of the Company or CORE, then
         the "twelve (12) months from the date of termination" in Section
         8(e)(ii) shall be revised to read "eighteen (18) months from the date
         of termination (provided such payments shall be reduced to reflect any
         salary, consulting fees or other compensation received by Executive for
         services rendered after one (1) year from the termination date and
         further provided, Executive shall timely report to the Company any such
         compensation)."

                  For purposes of this Section 8(f), a "Change in Control" of
         the Company or CORE shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the
         following conditions are met:

<PAGE>

                  (i)      there is a merger or consolidation of CORE in which
                           (A) CORE is not the continuing or surviving
                           corporation or (B) a majority of the Board of
                           Directors of the surviving company were not directors
                           or officers of CORE prior to such merger or
                           consolidation;

                  (ii)     the Company or CORE sells substantially all its
                           assets to a single purchaser or to a group of
                           associated purchasers;

                  (iii)    at least 20% of the outstanding common stock of the
                           Company or at least two-thirds of the outstanding
                           common stock of CORE is sold, exchanged or otherwise
                           disposed of in one transaction or in a series of
                           related transactions;

                  (iv)     any person or entity becomes directly or indirectly
                           the owner or beneficial owner of 50% or more of
                           CORE's outstanding stock;

                  (v)      individuals who at the date hereof constitute the
                           Board of Directors of CORE cease to constitute a
                           majority thereof, provided that such change is the
                           direct or indirect result of a proxy fight or
                           contested election for positions on the Board of
                           CORE; or

                  (vi)     the Board of Directors of CORE determines in its sole
                           and absolute discretion that there has been a change
                           in control of the Company or CORE.

                  (g) TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON FOLLOWING A
         CHANGE IN CONTROL. Within twelve months following a Change in Control
         (as defined in Section 8(f)), Executive may terminate employment
         hereunder for Good Reason (as defined below) upon thirty (30) days
         prior written notice to the Company, in which event Executive's
         employment hereunder shall terminate and Executive shall be entitled to
         the following payments:

                  (i)      all amounts accrued and unpaid to Executive through
                           the termination date, including unpaid salary,
                           pro-rated earned bonus (if any), benefits and accrued
                           and unused vacation and sick time; and

                  (ii)     severance payments comprising salary and health care
                           and dental benefits continuing for 18 months from the
                           date of termination (provided such payments shall be
                           reduced to reflect any salary, consulting fees or
                           other compensation received by Executive for services
                           rendered after one year from the termination date and
                           Executive shall timely report to CORE any such
                           compensation), such salary continuation payments to
                           be made bi-weekly, or otherwise consistent with
                           CORE's payroll policies and shall be subject to
                           applicable federal, state and local payroll tax
                           deductions and withholdings.

<PAGE>

                  Notwithstanding the requisite 30 day notice period in
         Executive's notice, the Company may elect to have Executive's services
         terminate immediately, provided the Company pays Executive compensation
         and benefits during the period after written notice has been delivered
         and prior to the effective termination date.

                  For the purposes of this Agreement "Good Reason" shall mean
         the occurrence (without Executive's express written consent), of any of
         the following acts by the Company, unless such act is corrected by the
         Company prior to the date of termination specified in the notice of
         termination given by Executive in respect thereof:

                  (i)      the assignment to Executive of any duties
                           substantially inconsistent with Executive's status as
                           an executive officer of CORE, a substantial
                           alteration in the nature or status of Executive's
                           title and duties as set forth in Section 1 and 2, a
                           diminution in Executive's duties or the assignment to
                           a position of lesser authority or responsibility than
                           Executive had prior to the Change in Control;

                  (ii)     any material breach by the Company of any material
                           provision of this Agreement;

                  (iii)    any purported termination by the Company of
                           Executive's employment which is effected other than
                           as provided in this Agreement; or

                  (iv)     the requirement that Executive be based at any office
                           or location other than one within a fifty (50) mile
                           radius of CORE's facilities in Portland, Maine.

         6. Except as otherwise expressly amended modified and provided for in
this Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement are hereby
ratified and shall be deemed to be incorporated herein and made a part hereof
and shall continue in full force and effect.

         Re:      Mutually Agreed Termination of Employment Agreement

Dear Lisa:

         This is to confirm the agreement we have reached concerning the
mutually agreed-upon termination of your employment by Disability Reinsurance
Management Services, Inc. (the "Company") and CORE, INC. ("CORE").

         We have agreed that pursuant to your amended Employment Agreement,
effective April 1, 2001 (or such later date if mutually agreed) (the "Severance
Date"), your employment shall be terminated without Cause. Pursuant to Section
8(e) of the amended Employment Agreement, without limitation, the Company will
pay to you severance payments comprised of salary ($228,000 per annum or, if
higher, the salary in effect on the Severance Date) and health care and dental
benefits continuing for 12 months beginning the Severance Date. In connection
with this mutually agreed-upon termination without Cause, effective the
Severance Date your resignation from all your positions (including
directorships) with the Company, CORE and all CORE's subsidiaries will be
effective.

         Additionally, we have agreed that a "Change in Control" (as defined in
the Employment Agreement and as defined in all your stock option agreements)
shall be deemed to have occurred if on or before the Severance Date CORE has
signed a written term sheet or agreement with another party which provides for a
"Change in Control" of CORE at some later date and CORE publicly announces such
proposed Change in Control, and accordingly, in such event, (1) consistent with
Section 8(f) of the amended Employment Agreement, the 12 month severance
benefits shall be extended to 18 months (subject to the offset during the final
6 months as described in Section 8(f) of the amended Employment Agreement) and
(2) consistent with the terms of your stock option agreements, all unvested
options shall be fully vested and exercisable.

         Through the Severance Date you shall retain all your titles and
positions with the Company and CORE. After the Severance Date and while you are
receiving severance payments from the Company, upon CORE's or the Company's
reasonable request, you agree to be reasonably available to CORE and the Company
to answer questions and provide information, including assistance in the due
diligence process, and assistance with litigation or disputes with which you
have knowledge. The Company and CORE acknowledge that your other commitments,
including personal commitments, may take priority over your assistance to CORE
and the

<PAGE>

Company. The compensation payable to you by the Company or CORE for such
assistance shall be mutually agreed to prior to your rendering such assistance.

         In connection with this mutually-agreed upon termination of employment
you also re-affirm the covenants set forth in Section 9 (Covenant Not to
Compete; Non-Solicitation; Confidential Information) of the Employment
Agreement.

         Please sign this letter agreement in the space provided below to
evidence your acceptance and agreement with the foregoing.

                                        Sincerely,

                                        DISABILTY RESINSURANCE MANAGEMENT
