The  following  statements  are  true  and  correct:

Employee  is  employed  hereunder  by  CPH  and  the  Company  in a confidential
relationship wherein Employee, in the course of his employment with the Company,
has and will continue to become familiar with and aware of information as to the
Company's customers, specific manner of doing business, including the processes,
techniques  and  trade  secrets  utilized  by the Company, and future plans with
respect thereto, all of which has been and will be established and maintained at
great expense to the Company: this information is a trade secret and constitutes
the  valuable  good  will  of  the  Company.

Therefore,  in  consideration  of  the  mutual  promises, terms, convenants, and
conditions  set forth herein and the performance of each, it is hereby agreed as
follows:

     Agreements

1.     Employment  and  Duties.
       ------------------------

     (a)  The  Company  hereby employs Employee as President and Chief Operating
Officer  of  the  Company as Director of the Company and CPH (or such comparable
positions  as  shall  be  given  to  Employee by the Company's or CPH's Board of
Directors). Employee shall have direct and primary responsibility over the areas
of  sales,  operations and telemarketing and shall report to the Chief Executive
Officer  of  the Company and to the Board of Directors of the Company, and shall
have  such  further  duties and authority reasonably accorded to and expected of
such  positions  and as otherwise may be directed from time to time by the Chief
Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company and CPH (collectively
referred  to  as  the "Board"). Employee hereby accepts this employment upon the
terms  and  conditions  contained  herein and agrees to devote his full business
time, attention, and efforts to promote and further the business of the Company.

     (b)     Employee  faithfully  shall  adhere  to,  execute  and  fulfill all
policies  established  by  the  Company.

     (c)  Employee  shall  not,  during the Term of his employment hereunder (as
defined  in Section 5 hereof), be engaged in any other business activity pursued
for  gain,  profit,  or  other  pecuniary advantage without prior consent of the
Board.  However, the foregoing limitations shall not be construed as prohibiting
Employee from making personal investments in such form or manner as will neither
require his services in the operation or affairs of the companies or enterprises
in  which  such  investments are made nor violate the terms of Section 3 hereof.

2.  Compensation. For all services rendered by Employee in any capacity required
    -------------
hereunder,  the  Company  shall  compensate  Employee  as  follows:

     (a)     Base  Salary. Effective on the date hereof, the base salary payable
to Employee shall be $300,000 per year, payable on a regular basis in accordance
with  the  Company's  standard  payroll  procedures but not less frequently than
monthly. Such base salary shall, in the sole discretion of the Board, be subject
to  annual  increase.

     (b)     Incentive  Bonus  Plan.  Employee  shall  be  eligible  to  receive
year-end  bonus  awards based upon individual performance and the achievement by
the  Company  of  specified  financial  and operating targets. Employee's annual
bonus  will  range  from  0%  to 120% of  employee's  annual  base  salary,  and
Employee's  annual  target  bonus  will  be  60%  of Employee's base salary. The
criteria upon which Employee's annual bonus shall be based shall be developed by
the  Compensation  Committee  of  the  Board after taking into consideration the
proposed business plan and financial and operating targets for the Company to be
developed by the Employee. Employee and the Compensation Committee shall use all
reasonable  efforts  to  develop such targets and criteria no later than January
31, 1999, and upon adoption by the Compensation Committee such criteria shall be
deemed  to  be  incorporated  by  reference  into  this  Agreement.

     (c)     Executive  Prerequisites, Benefits and Other Compensation. Employee
shall  be  entitled  to  receive  additional  benefits and compensation from the
Company  in  such  form  and  to  such  extent  as  specified  below:

(1)     Payment if  such premiums (or such portion thereof as is provided by the
Company's  plans)  for  coverage  for  Employee and his dependent family members
under  health,  hospitalization,  disability,  dental, life, and other insurance
plans  that  the Company may have in effect from time to time. Benefits provided
to  Employee under this clause (1) shall be at least comparable to such benefits
provided  to  the  company's  senior  executive  officers  on  the  date of this
Agreement.

(2)  Reimbursement  for  all  business  travel  and other out-of-pocket expenses
reasonably  incurred  by Employee in the performance of his services pursuant to
this  Agreement.  All  reimbursable expenses shal be appropriately documented in
reasonable  detail by Employee upon submission of any request for reimbursement,
and  in  a  format  and  manner  consistent with the Company's expense reporting
policy.

(3)     Payment  of  a  car  allowance  in  the  amount  of  $750.00  per month.

(4)     Reimbursement  of  relocation  expenses  up  to  $75,000.00.

as may be available to or deemed appropriate for Employee by the Board and shall
allow  Employee to participate in all other Company-wide benefits, including the
Company's defined contribution pension plan and 401(k) Plan, as may be available
generally  to  employees  from  time  to  time.

3.     Non-Competition  Agreement.
       --------------------------

     (a)     Employee  shall not, during the period of his employment by or with
the  Company  and  for  a  two  (2) year period following the termination of his
employment under Section 5(c) hereto, or for a one (1) year period following the
termination  of  his  employment  other  than under Section 5(c) hereto, for any
reason  whatsoever, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other
person,  persons,  company,  partnership,  corporation  or  business of whatever
nature:

I.     engage,  as  an  officer,  director,  shareholder,  owner, partner, joint
venturer,  trustee,  or  in  a  managerial  capacity,  whether  as  an employee,
independent  contractor,  agent,  consultant  or  advisor,  or  as  a  sales
representative,  in  any  business  selling  any  products or services in direct
competition  with  the  Company;

II.     Call upon any person who is, at that time, an employee of the Company in
a  managerial  capacity  for  the  purpose  or  with the intent of enticing such
employee  away  from  or  out  of  the  employ  of  the  Company;

III.     call  upon  any  person  or entity which is, at that time, or which has
been  within  one  year  prior  to  that time, a customer of the Company for the
purpose  of  soliciting  or selling products or services in competition with the
Company;  or

IV.     call  upon  any prospective acquisition candidate, on the Employee's own
behalf or on behalf of any competitor of the Company, which candidate was either
called  upon  by  the  Company  or  for  which  the  Company made an acquisition
analysis,  for  the  purpose  of  acquiring  such  entity.

For  purposes of this Section 3 and for purposes of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, and 15,
the  term  "Company"  shall  be  deemed  to  include  all  direct  and  indirect
subsidiaries of  the Company. Notwithstanding the above, the foregoing convenant
shall  not  be  deemed  to prohibit Employee from acquiring as an investment not
more  than five percent (5%) of the capital stock of a competing business, whose
stock  is  publicly  traded  on  a  national  securities  exchange  or  on  the
over-the-counter  market.

(b)     Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company as
a  result  of  a breach of the foregoing convenant, and because of the immediate
and  irreparable  damage  that could be caused to the Company for which it would
have  no other adequate remedy, Employee agrees that the foregoing convenant may
be  enforced  by the Company in the event of a breach by him, by injunctions and
restraining  orders.

(c)     It is agreed by the parties that the foregoing covenants in this Section
3  impose  a  reasonable  restraint  on  Employee  in  light of the activities,
business  and  plans  of  the  Company  on  the  date  of  the execution of this
Agreement;  but  it  is  also  the  intent of the Company and Employee that such
covenants  be  construed  and  enforced in accordance with any planned change in
activities, business  or  locations  of  the Company throughout the term of this
agreement.

(d)     The  covenants  in  this  Section  3 are severable and separate, and the
unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any
other  covenant.

(e)     All  of  the  covenants  in  this  Section  3  shall be construed as an
agreement  independent  of  any  other  provision  in  this  Agreement,  and the
existence  of  any  claim  or  cause  of action of Employee against the Company,
whether  predicated  on  this  Agreement  or  otherwise,  shall not constitute a
defense  to  the  enforcement  of  such  covenants;  provided, however, that the
Company's continued failure to make payments to Employee under Section 2 of this
Agreement  shall  constitute  such  a  defense.

(f)     Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if any applicable law shall reduce
the  time  period during which Employee shall be prohibited from engaging in any
competitive  activity  described  in Section 3(a) hereof, the period of time for
which  Emplyee  shall be prohibited pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof shall be the
maximum  time  permitted  by  law.

4.     Place  of  Performence
       ----------------------

(a)      Employee  understands that he may be requested by the Board to relocate
to another geographic location in order to more efficiently carry out his duties
and  responsibilities under this Agreement. In such event, if Employee agrees to
relocate,  the  Company  shall  pay  all  reasonable  relocation  costs  to move
Employee,  his  immediate  family  and their personal property and effects. Such
costs may include, by way of example, but are not limited to, pre-move visits to
search for a new residence, investigate schools or for other purposes; temporary
lodging  and  living  costs  prior  to  moving  into  a new permanent residence;
duplicate  home  carrying  costs;  all  reasonable  closing costs on the sale of
Employee's  present  residence  and on the purchase of a comparable residence in
the new location; and added income taxes that Employee may incur if, but only to
the  extent that, any such relocation costs are not deductible for tax purposes.
The  general  intent  of the foregoing is that the Employee shall not personally
bear  any  out-of-pocket  costs  as  a  result  of  the  relocation,  with  an
understanding that Employee shall use his best efforts to incur only those costs
which  are  reasonable  and  necessary to effect a smooth, efficient and orderly
relocation  with  minimal  disruption to the business affairs of the Company and
the  personal  life  of  Employee  and  his  family.

(b)     Notwithstanding  the  above,  if  Employee  is requested by the Board to
relocate  and  Employee  refuses, such refusal shall not constitute "good cause"
for  termination  of  this  Agreement  under  the  terms of Section 5(c) and, if
Employee  is  terminated for such refusal, Employee shall be entitled to receive
all  payments  under  this  Agreement  as  if  he were terminated by the Company
"without  cause."

5.     Term  -  Termination-  Rights  on Termination. The term of this Agreement
       ----------------------------------------------
shall  begin  on  the  date  hereof  and  continue for three years (the "initial
Term"),  and  unless terminated as herein provided, shall be extended at the end

employment  under  this  Agreement  may be terminated by the Company upon thirty
(30) days written notice if Employee is unable to resume his full time duties at
the  conclusion  of  such  notice  period. Such termination for disability shall
require  the  affirmative  vote  of  a  majority  of  the  Board. The Employee's
compensation  during  any  period of disability prior to the effective  date  of
such termination shall he the amounts normally payable to him in accordance with
his  then  current annual base salary, reduced by the amounts of disability pay,
if  any,  paid  to  the  Employee under any Company disability program. Employee
shall  not  he  entitled  to  any  further  compensation from the Company or its
subsidiaries  for  any  period  subsequent  to  the  effective  date  of  such
termination,  except  for  pay  or  benefits,  if  any,  in accordance with then
existing severance policies of the Company or its subsidiaries and the severance
terms  of  the  Incentive  Bonus  Plan  and  Company  benefit  plans.

Upon  satisfactory  completion of a public transaction and adequate financing of
the  Company's  strategic  plan,  base  salary will be increased upon closing to
$215,000.

Salary  can  go  up but not down, otherwise this will be deemed a termination of
employment  contract  and  cause  such  provisions  to  go  in  effect.

Bonus:     Eligible  for  participation  in  Corporate  Incentive  Plan  tied to
-----
overall  profit attainment ranges.  Bonus potential range +/- from 10% to 50% of
base  salary when +/- percentage of 100% of EBITDA is attained.  (Exact schedule
to  be  developed.)

Stock  Options:     Eligible  for  option grants at the time the company becomes
---------------
public  and  at  other such times as deemed appropriate by the CEO, commensurate
with  a  CFO  position.

Equity:     Regarding  equity granted and vested; a) 100% vesting of grants upon
------
change of control, b) any vested options or warrants held by the employee may be
exercised  for the duration of the original exercise period even in the event of
employee  resignation  or  termination.

     Example:  3  shares  -  3  year  vest  term  -  month  25  employee tenders

Health Benefits:     Eligible for participation in health benefit plans (medical
---------------
and  dental)  to coincide with date of hire (may be required to provide evidence
of  insurability  and  no break in prior coverage).  Under the company's medical
plan,  there  is no exception for the 90-day enrollment period (3 full months of

of  employment  status.  Therefore,  the  company  would pay your COBRA for that
period.

---------------
employment,  after  which  participation is coincident with the beginning of the
next quarter.  Discretionary company match equal to 40% of the employee deferral

--------------
Vacation:  4  weeks  per  year
Personal/Sick:  5  days  per  year
Holidays:  7  days

Miscellaneous:     Cell  phone,  newspaper,  conferences  as needed and based on
-------------
business  disciplines  (common  sense  would  prevail).

Change  of  Control/Severance:
-----------------------------

It  is  understood  that  your  employment  is  voluntary  in  nature  and  is
employment-at-will.

In  the  event  of  termination  of employment without cause, the employee shall
receive  severance  paid  in  one  lump sum at the rate of one times the current
annual  salary  if  the company is in a cash position (at the sole discretion of
the  CEO)  to honor this request.  Company benefits in effect would continue for
12  months.

If  the  company  is not in a cash position (at the sole discretion of the CEO),
severance will be paid at one times the current annual salary over a period of 6
months.  Company  benefits  in  effect  would  continue  for  12  months.

In  the event of a change of control, severance would be paid in one lump sum at
one  and a half times the annual salary if the company is in a cash position (at
the  sole discretion of the CEO).  Company benefits in effect would continue for
12  months.

In  the  event  of a change of control and the company is not in a cash position
(at  the  sole discretion of the CEO), severance would be paid at one and a half
times  the  annual  salary  paid over a period of 6 months.  Company benefits in
effect  would  continue  for  12  months.

Post  change  of  control, employee has 30 days to exercise a "leave" provision.
If  employee  decides  to  leave  and gives notice within this 30-day timeframe,
change  of  control  provisions  apply.

If  employee resigns, or is terminated for good cause (including but not limited
to;  willful  misconduct  or  gross negligence in the performance or intentional
nonperformance  of  any employee's material duties and responsibilities, willful
dishonesty,  fraud, alcohol or illegal drug abuse, or misconduct with respect to
the  business  affairs  of  the  Company,  conviction of a felony or other crime
involving  moral  turpitude)  no  severance  would  be  paid.

LT  Disability:     The  Company currently has no long-term disability coverage,
---------------
but  based  on  growth  and  profitability,  we  may  consider  this  benefit.

We  look forward to you joining the team, are excited about working with you and
welcome  you.

Warmest  regards,

/s/Paul  A.  Roman
