                EMPLOYEE NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

                               ARTICLE I - PURPOSE
                               -------------------

1.1    Statement of Purpose; Effective Date
       ------------------------------------

This ONEOK, Inc. Employee Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan")
and related agreements between the Employer and certain management or highly
compensated employees is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan
and arrangement. The purpose of the Plan is to provide a select group of
management and highly compensated employees of the Employer with the option to
defer the receipt of portions of their compensation payable for services
rendered to the Employer, and provide nonqualified deferred compensation
benefits which are not available to such employees by reason of limitations on
employer and employee contributions to qualified pension or profit-sharing
plans under the federal tax laws.

It is intended that the Plan will assist in attracting and retaining qualified
individuals to serve as officers and managers of the Employer; and the Plan is
intended to constitute a plan which is unfunded and maintained by an employer
primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group
of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of, and as
described in Section 201(2) and related provisions of ERISA.

The Plan is generally effective on May 15, 1997, but shall first apply to the
deferral of Compensation by Participants thereunder beginning on June 1, 1997.
The Plan was amended and restated November 1, 1999, October 19, 2000 and
February 15, 2001.

                            ARTICLE II - DEFINITIONS
                            ------------------------

under the Plan.

2.2  Base Salary.
     -----------

"Base Salary" means a Participant's basic wage or salary paid by an Employer to
the Participant without regard to any increases or decreases in such basic wage
or salary as a result of (i) an election to defer basic wage or salary under
this Plan or (ii) an election between benefits or cash provided under a plan of
an Employer maintained pursuant to Sections 125 or 401(k) of the

<PAGE>

Code, and as limited in Exhibit B attached hereto. The Base Salary does not
include any Lump Sum Merit Award paid to a Participant, nor any Bonus, as
defined in Section 2.5, below.

2.3  Beneficiary.
     -----------

2.6  Change in Control.
     -----------------

A "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

       (a)      An acquisition (other than directly from the Corporation) of any
                voting securities of the Corporation (the "Voting Securities")
                by any "Person" (as the term person is used for purposes of
                Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act), immediately after
                which such Person has "Beneficial Ownership" (within the meaning
                of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of twenty
                percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding Shares or the
                combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding
                Voting Securities; provided, however, in determining whether a
                Change in Control has occurred pursuant to this Section 2.6,
                Shares or Voting Securities which are acquired in a "Non-Control
                Acquisition" (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an
                acquisition which would cause a Change in Control. A
                "Non-Control Acquisition" shall mean an acquisition by (i) an
                employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof)
                maintained by (A) the Corporation or (B) any corporation or

                purposes of this definition, a "Related Entity"), (ii) the
                Corporation or any Related Entity, or (iii) any Person in
                connection with a "Non-Control Transaction" (as hereinafter
                defined);

       (b)      The individuals who, as of February 15, 2001, are members of the
                Board of Directors (the "Incumbent  Board"), cease for any
                reason to  constitute at least a

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

                majority of the members of the Board of Directors; or, following
                a Merger which results in a Parent Corporation, the board of
                directors of the ultimate Parent Corporation; provided, however,
                that if the election, or nomination for election by the
                Corporation's common stockholders, of any new director was
                approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent
                Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Plan, be
                considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; provided further,
                however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the
                Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a
                result of either an actual or threatened "Election Contest" (as
                described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or
                other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
                by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors (a
                "Proxy Contest"), including by reason of any agreement intended
                to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or

       (c)      The consummation of:

                  (i)   A merger, consolidation or reorganization with or into
the Corporation or in which securities of the Corporation are issued ( a
"Merger"), unless such Merger is a "Non-Control Transaction." A "Non-Control
Transaction" shall mean a Merger where:

                           (A)      the stockholders of the Corporation,
immediately before such Merger, own directly or indirectly immediately following
such Merger at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the
outstanding voting securities of (x) the corporation resulting from such Merger
(the "Surviving Corporation") if fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Surviving
Corporation is not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly by another Person
(a "Parent Corporation"), or (y) if there is one or more Parent Corporations,
the ultimate Parent Corporation;

                           (B)      the individuals who were members of the
Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing
for such Merger constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of
directors of (x) the Surviving Corporation, if there is no Parent Corporation,
or (y) if there is one or more Parent Corporations, the ultimate Parent
Corporation; and

                           (C)      no Person other than (1) the Corporation,
(2) any Related Entity, (3) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a
part thereof) that, immediately prior to such Merger was maintained by the
Corporation or any Related Entity, or (4) any Person who, immediately prior to
such Merger had Beneficial Ownership of thirty percent (30%) or more of the then
outstanding Voting Securities or Shares, has Beneficial Ownership of thirty
percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
securities or common stock of (x) the Surviving Corporation if there is no
Parent Corporation, or (y) if there is one or more Parent Corporations, the
ultimate Parent Corporation.

                  (ii)  A complete liquidation or dissolution of the
Corporation; or

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

             (iii) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Corporation to any Person (other than a transfer to a Related
Entity or under conditions that would constitute a Non-Control Transaction with
the disposition of assets being regarded as a Merger for this purpose or the
distribution to the Corporation's stockholders of the stock of a Related Entity
or any other assets).

Notwithstanding the foregoing,

         (A)  A Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because
any Person (the "Subject Person") acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than
the permitted amount of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities if:
(1) such acquisition occurs as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting
Securities by the Corporation which, by reducing the number of Shares or Voting
Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares
Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided that if a Change in Control
would occur (but for the operation of this subparagraph) as a result of the
acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Corporation, and after such
share acquisition by the Corporation, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial
Owner of any additional Shares or Voting Securities which increases the
percentage of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities Beneficially
Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur, or (2) (a)
within five business days after a Change in Control would have occurred (but
for the operation of this subparagraph), or if the Subject Person acquired
Beneficial Ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding
Shares or the combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding
Voting Securities inadvertently, then after the Subject Person discovers or is
notified by the Corporation that such acquisition would have triggered a Change
in Control (but for the operation of this subparagraph), the Subject Person
notifies the Board of Directors that it did so inadvertently, and (b) within
two business days after such notification, the Subject Person divests itself of
a sufficient number of Shares or Voting Securities so that the Subject Person
is the Beneficial Owner of less than twenty percent (20%) of the then
outstanding Shares or the combined voting power of the Corporation's then
outstanding Voting Securities.

         (B)  A Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur if (1) the
Shareholder Group (as defined in the Shareholder Agreement) acquires Beneficial
Ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the Corporation's Voting
Securities pursuant to the terms of the Shareholder Agreement, by and between
WAI, Inc. (now known as ONEOK, Inc.) and Western Resources, Inc. dated as of
November 26, 1997 (the "Shareholder Agreement"), until the earlier of (a) the
termination of the Shareholder Agreement or (b) the successful consummation of
a Buyout Tender Offer as defined in Section 3.6(b) of the Shareholder
Agreement, but upon either of such events, the acquisition or existence of such
percentage of Beneficial Ownership by Western Resources, Inc. or any of its
affiliates shall constitute a Change in Control or (2) the equity securities of
the Corporation owned by the Shareholder Group are in any manner restructured
with the approval of a majority of the members of the Incumbent Board
(excluding Shareholder Nominees, as defined in the Shareholder Agreement).

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if an Eligible Employee's
employment is terminated by the Corporation without Just Cause prior to the date
of a Change in Control but the

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

Eligible Employee reasonably demonstrates that the termination (A) was at the
request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps
reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (B) otherwise arose in
connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control which has been
threatened or proposed, such termination shall be deemed to have occurred after
a Change in Control for purposes of this Plan provided a Change in Control
shall actually have occurred.

her Deferral Benefit. Such a hardship distribution, however, will involve a
substantial penalty, and each such distribution from the Participant's Deferral
Benefit made under this provision shall be reduced by a penalty equal to six
percent (6%) of the total amount of the distribution. The amount of the penalty
shall be forfeited by the Participant. In addition, the Participant must
continue to defer Compensation subsequent to such distribution in accordance
with the Participant's election and will not be permitted to elect to defer
Compensation attributable to the calendar year subsequent to the calendar year
of the distribution. The Corporation shall have the sole discretion as to
whether such distribution shall be made, and its determination shall be final
and conclusive. In making its determinations, the Corporation shall follow a
uniform and nondiscriminatory practice.

                      ARTICLE VII - BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
                      -------------------------------------

7.1  Beneficiary Designation.
     -----------------------

Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or
persons as his or her Beneficiary to whom payment under the Plan shall be made
in the event of the Participant's death prior to complete distribution to the
Participant of his or her Account. Any Beneficiary designation shall be made in
a written instrument provided by the Committee. All Beneficiary designations
must be filed with the Corporation and shall be effective only when received in
writing by the Corporation.

7.2  Amendments.
     ----------

Any Beneficiary designation may be changed by a Participant by the filing of a
new Beneficiary designation, which will cancel all the Participant's prior
Beneficiary designations filed with the Committee.

7.3  No Designation.
     --------------

If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if all
designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, then the Participant's
designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant's estate.

7.4  Effect of Payment.
     -----------------

Payment to a Participant's Beneficiary (or, upon the death of a primary
Beneficiary, to the contingent Beneficiary or, if none, to the Participant's
estate) shall completely discharge the Employer's obligations under the Plan.

8.1 Plan Committee; Duties.
    ----------------------

The administrative committee for the Plan shall be those members of the
Committee who are not Participants, as long as there are at least three (3) such
members. If there are not at least three (3) such non-participating persons on
the Committee, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall appoint
other non-participating Directors or Corporation officers to serve on the
Committee. The Committee shall supervise the administration and operation of the
Plan, may from time to time adopt rules and procedures governing the Plan and
shall have authority to give interpretive rulings with respect to the Plan. The
Committee shall have such other powers and duties as are specified in this Plan
as the same may from time to time be constituted, and not in limitation but in
amplification of the foregoing, the Committee shall have power, to the exclusion
of all other persons, to interpret the provisions of this instrument, to decide
any disputes which may arise hereunder; to construe and determine the effect of
Participant Agreements, elections, beneficiary designations, and other actions
and documents; to determine all questions that shall arise under the Plan,
including questions as to the rights of Employees to become Participants, as to
the rights of Participants, and including questions submitted by the trustee of
a Trust created under Section 11.2 on all matters necessary for it properly to
discharge its duties, powers, and obligations; to employ legal counsel,
accountants, consultants and agents; to establish and modify such rules,
procedures and regulations for carrying out the provisions of the Plan not
inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof, as the Committee may consider
proper and desirable; and in all things and respects whatsoever, without
limitation, to direct the administration of the Plan and any such Trust with the
trustee being subject to the direction of the Committee. The Committee may
supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this instrument in such
manner and to such extent as it shall deem expedient to carry the same into
effect and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency. The
Committee may adopt such rules and regulations with respect to the signature by
an Employee, Participant and/or Beneficiary as to any agreements, elections or
other papers to be signed by Employees or Participants or Beneficiaries and
similar matters as the Committee shall determine in view of the laws of any
state or states. Any act which this instrument authorizes or requires the
Committee to do may be done by a majority of the then members of the Committee.
The action of such majority of the members expressed either by a vote at a
meeting or in writing without a meeting, shall constitute the action of the
Committee and shall have the same effect for all purposes as if assented to by
all of the members of the Committee at the time in office, provided, however,
that the Committee may, in specific instances, authorize one (1) of its members
to act for the Committee when and if it is found desirable and convenient to do
so.

8.2 Agents.
    ------

The Committee may appoint an individual, who may be an employee of the
Corporation, to be the Committee's agent with respect to the day-to-day
administration of the Plan. In addition, the Committee may, from time to time,
employ other agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees
fit, and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to the
Corporation.

8.3 Binding Effect of Decisions.
    ---------------------------

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

Any decision or action of the Committee with respect to any question arising
out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application
of the Plan shall be final and binding upon all persons having any interest in
the Plan.

8.4 Indemnity of Committee.
    ----------------------

The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee
and their duly appointed agents under Section 8.2 against any and all claims,
loss, damage, expense or liability arising from any action or failure to act
with respect to the Plan, except in the case of gross negligence or willful
misconduct by any such member or agent of the Committee.

                      ARTICLE IX - MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION
                      -------------------------------------

The KGS Deferred Compensation Plan, which was frozen and terminated December 31,
1998, shall be merged and consolidated with this Plan on and after January 1,
1999, and the Corporation shall then assume and pay all deferred compensation
and benefits accrued for participants under the KGS Deferred Compensation Plan
on December 31, 1998, in accordance with the pertinent terms and provisions of
this Plan.

                  ARTICLE X - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
                  ---------------------------------------------

10.1 Amendment.
     ---------

The Corporation, on behalf of itself and of each Subsidiary may at any time
amend, modify, suspend or reinstate any or all of the provisions of the Plan,
except that no such amendment, modification, suspension or reinstatement may
adversely affect any Participant's Account, as it existed as of the day before
the effective date of such amendment, modification, suspension or reinstatement,
without such Participant's prior written consent. Written notice of any
amendment or other action with respect to the Plan shall be given to each
Participant.

10.2 Termination.
     -----------

The Corporation, on behalf of itself and of each Subsidiary, in its sole
discretion, may terminate this Plan at any time and for any reason whatsoever.
Upon termination of the Plan, the Committee shall take those actions necessary
to administer any Participant Accounts existing prior to the effective date of
such termination; provided, however, that a termination of the Plan shall not
adversely affect the value of a Participant's Account, the crediting of
investment return under Section 5.2, or the timing or method of distribution of
a Participant's Account, without the Participant's prior written consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination of the Plan shall not give rise to
accelerated or automatic vesting of any Participant's Matching Account.

        ARTICLE XI - PLAN EFFECT, LIMITATIONS, MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
        ---------------------------------------------------------------

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

11.1 Nature of Employer Obligation; Funding.
     --------------------------------------

Participants, their Beneficiaries, and their heirs, successors and assigns,
shall have no secured interest or claim in any property or assets of the
Employer. The Employer's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an
unfunded and unsecured promise of the Employer to pay money in the future.

11.2 Trusts.
     ------

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, the
Corporation shall create an irrevocable Trust, or before such time the
Corporation may create an irrevocable or revocable Trust, to hold funds to be
used in payment of the obligations of Employers under the Plan. In the event of
a Change in Control or prior thereto, the Employers shall fund such Trust in an
amount equal to not less than the total value of the Participants' Accounts
under the Plan as of the Determination Date immediately preceding the Change in
Control, provided that any funds contained therein shall remain liable for the
claims of the general creditors of the respective Employers. Pursuant to this
Section 11.2 the Corporation may, without further reference to or action by any
Employee, Participant, or any Beneficiary from time to time enter into such
further agreements with a trustee or other parties, and make such amendments to
said trust agreement or such further agreements, as the Corporation may deem
necessary or desirable to carry out the Plan; from time to time designate
successor trustees of such a Trust; and from time to time take such other steps
and execute such other instruments as the Corporation may deem necessary or
desirable to carry the out the Plan. The Committee shall advise the trustee of
any such Trust in writing with respect to all Deferral Benefits which become
payable under the terms of the Plan and shall direct the trustee to pay such
Deferral Benefits from the respective Participants' Accounts, and the Committee
shall have authority to otherwise deal with and direct the trustee of such a
Trust in matters pertinent to the Plan. It is intended that any Trust created
hereunder is to be treated as a "grantor" trust under the Code, and the
establishment of such a Trust is not intended to cause a Participant to realize
current income on amounts contributed thereto, such a Trust is not intended to
cause the Plan to be "funded" under ERISA and the Code, and any such Trust shall
be so interpreted.

11.3 Nonassignability.
     ----------------

No right or interest under the Plan of a Participant or his or her Beneficiary
(or any person claiming through or under any of them), shall be assignable or
transferable in any manner or be subject to alienation, anticipation, sale,
pledge, encumbrance or other legal process or in any manner be liable for or
subject to the debts or liabilities of any such Participant or Beneficiary. If
any Participant or Beneficiary shall attempt to or shall transfer, assign,
alienate, anticipate, sell, pledge or otherwise encumber his or her benefits
hereunder or any part thereof, or if by reason of his or her bankruptcy or
other event happening at any time such benefits would devolve upon anyone else
or would not be enjoyed by him or her, then the Committee, in its discretion,
may terminate such Participant's or Beneficiary's interest in any such benefit
(including the Deferral Account) to the extent the Committee considers
necessary or advisable to prevent or limit the effects of such occurrence.
Termination shall be effected by filing a written instrument with the

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

Secretary of the Corporation and making reasonable efforts to deliver a copy to
the Participant or Beneficiary whose interest is adversely affected (the
"Terminated Participant"). As long as the Terminated Participant is alive, any
benefits affected by the termination shall be retained by the Employer and, in
the Committee's sole and absolute judgment, may be paid to or expended for the
benefit of the Terminated Participant, his or her spouse, his or her children or
any other person or persons in fact dependent upon him or her in such a manner
as the Committee shall deem proper. Upon the death of the Terminated
Participant, all benefits withheld from him or her and not paid to others in
accordance with the preceding sentence shall be disposed of according to the
provisions of the Plan that would apply if he or she died prior to the time that
all benefits to which he or she was entitled were paid to him or her.

11.4 Captions.
     --------

The captions contained herein are for convenience only and shall not control or
affect the meaning or construction hereof.

11.5 Governing Law.
     -------------

The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the
laws of the State of Oklahoma.

11.6 Successors.
     ----------

The provisions of the Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
Corporation, its Subsidiaries, and their respective successors and assigns. The
term "successors" as used herein shall include any corporate or other business
entity which shall, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise,
acquire all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Corporation
or a Subsidiary and successors of any such corporation or other business entity.

11.7 No Right to Continued Service.
     -----------------------------

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to confer upon any Eligible
Employee the right to continue to serve as an Eligible Employee of the Employer
or in any other capacity.

                                              Effective Date: January 20, 2000

Except as otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, Eligible Employees
who may participate in the Plan shall be designated in writing by the Chief
Executive Officer, or his designee, each Plan Year during the period after
November 1 and prior to the next January 1 ("Designation Period"), with such
designation to indicate the Eligible Employees for the Fiscal Year next
following such Designation Period who shall be each Employee who (i) had Base
Salary on November 1 of that Plan Year, which places such Employee in the group
of Employees consisting of the top two percent (2%) of the Employees when ranked
on the basis of Base Salary, (ii) is designated on such November 1 to be at
least within Pay Grade 12 or its deemed equivalent, as established by the
Corporation, and (iii) is so designated by name in writing in an instrument
signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or his designee. The
Corporation's designation of Eligible Employees for a Plan Year shall be
reported to and approved by the Board in accordance with its directions.

An Employee must be an Eligible Employee prior to the beginning of a Plan Year
in order to participate in the Plan for such Plan Year, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee and approved by the Board.

A list of the Eligible Employees who are so designated and approved for a Plan
Year shall be made by the Chief Executive Officer, or his designee, the
Committee, or by a duly authorized representative of the Committee, and be
maintained with the Plan in the records of the Corporation.

                                              --------------------------------
                                              Effective Date: January 1, 1999

As of the date above, and effective until this Exhibit is modified by the
Committee and Board, the table below indicates the types of Compensation that
are eligible for deferral at the designated percentages stated:

                                Minimum Percentage        Maximum Percentage
     Type of Compensation       That Must Be Deferred     That May be Deferred

     Bonus (or the portion above      10%                        *100%
       a specified threshold)

A Participant may defer Compensation only in 1% increments of Base Salary
and/or Bonus.

*The Participant's deferral shall be after deductions and withholding of amounts
applicable to deferrals made by the Participant pursuant to other employee
benefit plans of the Employer under Code Sections 125 and 401(k), and after
deduction and withholding of all income and employment taxes required, as
determined by the Committee and Employer, under uniform rules and procedures.

                                          -------------------------------------
                                                             Date: July 1, 1999

A.   Short-Term Deferrals
     --------------------
     For amounts deferred by a Participant as a Short-Term Deferral, the
     Investment Return Rate for the time period from June 1, 1997 through
     December 31, 1997, is the Five-Year Treasury Bond Rate on the first day of
     June 1997. The rate credited during each successive calendar year will be
     the Five-Year Treasury Bond Rate as of the first business day of
     January of that year.

B.   Long-Term Deferrals

     The Investment Return Rate on a Participant's Long-Term Deferral shall be
     the rate determined pursuant to the following:

     1.   For amounts deferred by a Participant as a Long-Term Deferral the
          Investment Return Rate for the time period from June 1, 1997
          through December 31, 1997, the Moody's AAA 30-Year Bond Index as
          published in The Wall Street Journal on June 1, 1997, plus 100 basis
                       -----------------------
          points. The rate credited during each successive calendar year will
          be the published Moody's AAA 30-Year Bond Index as of January 1 of
          that year plus 100 basis points; provided, that such rate shall be
          credited to amounts deferred by a Participant on and after July 1,
          1999, only if such rate is elected by the Participant, as herein
          provided.

     2.   On and after July 1, 1999, a Participant may elect to have the
          Investment Return Rate on his or her Long-Term Deferral be an amount
          which is essentially equivalent to the amount of gains, losses
          and earnings that would result if the Participant's Deferred
          Compensation Account was at all times invested in the investment
          options available under the Thrift Plan which are to be designated
          under this Plan by the Participant.

          A Participant electing a Long-Term Deferral Investment Return Rate
          under this paragraph 2 shall so designate such deemed investment of
          his/her Deferred Compensation Account in the manner and form, and
          at such times as prescribed by the Committee. A Participant shall
          be allowed to change such designation at least once each calendar
          quarter, or more frequently as determined by the Committee, in its
          sole discretion. Such Investment Return Rate shall be

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

          determined and calculated in the manner determined by the Committee,
          in its sole discretion, and added to or deducted from the
          Participant's Deferred Compensation Account periodically, not less
          frequently than annually. Such Investment Return Rate shall be so
          credited to or deducted from a Participant's Deferred Compensation
          Account until all payments with respect thereto have been made to the
          Participant, or to the Participant's designated Beneficiary pursuant
          to the Plan. The Employer shall not be liable or otherwise
          responsible for any decrease in a Participant's Deferred
          Compensation Account because of the investment performance resulting
          from application of the foregoing provisions which make the
          Investment Return Rate on a Participant's Long-Term Deferrals
          under the Plan equivalent to the investment return that is
          realized by deemed investment of the Participant's Deferred
          Compensation Account in Thrift Plan investment options
          designated by the Participant.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer shall not be required
          to actually invest amounts deferred by a Participant nor the
          Deferred Compensation Account of any Participant in any particular
          form, type or amount of investment, and no Participant shall have
          the right to direct or in any manner control the actual
          investments, if any, made by the Employer or any other person for
          purposes of providing funds for paying the liabilities of the
          Employer for benefits or otherwise under the Plan; and a
          Participant shall not have any ownership or beneficial interest in
          any such actual investments that may be made by the Employer. In no
          event shall any Participant or Beneficiary have a right to receive
          an amount under the Plan other than that of a general unsecured
          creditor of the Employer notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
          with respect to the measurement and determination of a
          Participant's Investment Return Rate on his/her Long-Term Deferral
          by reference to the performance of deemed investments in Thrift
          Plan investment options designated by the Participant.

     3.   On and after July 1, 1999, a Participant shall be entitled to
          elect to have either the Investment Return Rate described in
          paragraph B.1., above, or the Investment Return Rate described in
          paragraph B.2., above, credited to and deducted from his or her
          Long-Term Deferrals under the Plan. A Participant shall make an
          election of such Investment Return Rate at the time and in the
          manner prescribed by the Committee.

     (1) The Deferral Account and Matching Account of each Participant shall
be periodically credited and increased, or debited and reduced, as the case may
be, by the amount of investment return specified under Section 5.3. of the Plan.

     (2) Prior to January 1, 2001 and except as otherwise provided herein,
the Deferral Account and Matching Account shall be credited and debited with
investment return and losses, if any, not less frequently than on a monthly
basis, at the beginning of each calendar month based on the average balance of
the Participant's Deferral Account and Matching Account, respectively since the
beginning of the next preceding calendar month, but after such Accounts have

purchases of securities and credited with proceeds of any deemed sales of

investments designated by such Participant, in substantially the same manner as
would occur if such securities were being purchased or sold by a Participant
under the Thrift Plan. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, allocate,
charge and credit other items and amounts to such deemed purchases and sales in
a manner comparable to the administration of such items under the Thrift Plan.

otherwise would have been paid to the Participant.

shareholders.

                                    Agreement

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Executive's continued employment by

President and Chief Financial Officer.

     1.2. While employed hereunder, Executive shall obey the lawful directions
of the Board of Directors of Employer, or any duly authorized committee thereof,

authorized committee thereof.

     1.3. While this Agreement is in effect, Executive may from time to time
engage in any businesses or activities that do not compete directly and

duly authorized committee thereof. In any event, Executive is permitted to (i)
invest his/her personal assets as a passive investor in such form or manner as

     Section 2. Compensation and Benefits.

     2.1. As compensation for services to Employer, Employer shall pay to
Executive, while this Agreement is in effect, a salary at a monthly rate of
$29,167. Any increases to such rate shall be at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee duly elected by the Board of Directors. The salary shall
be payable in equal bi-weekly installments, subject only to such payroll and
withholding deductions as may be required by law and other deductions applied
generally to employees of Employer for insurance and other employee benefit
plans. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company's
Management Incentive Compensation Plan ("MICP) at a rate of 100% of base salary.
This bonus will be subject to the parameters set forth by the Compensation
Committee each year and the amount of payment will be determined by such
Committee.

     2.2. Upon Executive's furnishing to Employer customary and reasonable
documentary support (such as receipts or paid bills) evidencing costs and
expenses incurred by him/her in the performance of his/her services and duties
hereunder (including, without limitation, travel and entertainment expenses) and
containing sufficient information to establish the amount, date, place and
essential character of the expenditure, Executive shall be reimbursed for such
costs and expenses in accordance with Employer's normal expense reimbursement
policy.

     2.3. As long as this Agreement is in effect, Employer will purchase and
maintain for Executive's benefit a guaranteed renewable term life insurance
policy having a death benefit of three times annual salary up to $800,000.00.
Unless prohibited by any policy or plan under which such insurance is provided,
Executive will have the right to purchase at Executive's cost additional
coverage under such policy or plan. Employer will not permit, even in the event
of termination of Executive or of this Agreement for any reason, any such policy
to lapse without offering Executive the opportunity to take up the premium
payments and continue the policy in force.

     2.4. Executive shall have the right to participate in any additional

maintain for Executive's benefit a comprehensive long-term disability insurance
policy. Employer will not permit, even in the event of termination of Executive
or of this agreement for any reason, any such policy to lapse without offering

policy in force.

     Section 3. Preservation of Business; Fiduciary Responsibility.

     Executive shall use his/her best efforts to preserve the business and
organization of Employer, to keep available to Employer the services of present
employees and to preserve the business relations of Employer. Executive shall
not commit any act, or in any way assist others to commit any act, that would
injure Employer. So long as the Executive is employed by Employer, Executive
shall observe and fulfill proper standards of fiduciary responsibility attendant
upon his/her service and office.

     Section 4. Initial Term; Extensions of the Term.

     The term of this Agreement shall commence on the effective date hereof and

time upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Employer.

     5.2. Employer may terminate Executive's employment under this Agreement at
any time, without prior notice, for "due cause" upon the good faith

cause" shall mean any of the following events:

<PAGE>

          (i)  any intentional misapplication by Executive of Employer's funds,
               or any other act of dishonesty injurious to Employer committed by
               Executive; or

          (ii) Executive's conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude; or

          (iii) Executive's illegal use or possession of any controlled
               substance or chronic abuse of alcoholic beverages; or

or

          (iv) Executive's breach, non-performance or non-observance of any of
               the terms of this Agreement if such breach, non-performance or
               non-observance shall continue beyond a period of ten (10)
               business days immediately after notice thereof by Employer to
               Executive; or

          (v)  any other action by the Executive involving willful and
               deliberate malfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of
               Executive's duties.

     5.3. In the event Executive is incapacitated by accident, sickness or
otherwise so as to render Executive mentally or physically incapable of
performing the services required under Section 1 of this Agreement for a period
of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive business days, and such incapacity is
confirmed by the written opinion of two (2) practicing medical doctors licensed
by and in good standing in the state in which they maintain offices for the
practice of medicine, upon the expiration of such period or at any time
reasonably thereafter, or in the event of Executive's death, Employer may
terminate Executive's employment under this Agreement upon giving Executive or
his/her legal representative written notice at least thirty (30) days' prior to
the termination date. Executive agrees, after written notice by the Board of
Directors of Employer or a duly authorized committee or officer of Employer, to
submit to examinations by such practicing medical doctors selected by the Board
of Directors of Employer or a duly authorized committee or officer of Employer.

     5.4. Employer may terminate Executive's employment under this Agreement at
any time for any reason whatsoever, even without "due cause," by giving a
written notice of termination to Executive, in which case the employment
relationship shall terminate immediately upon the giving of such notice.

     Section 6. Effect of Termination.

     6.1. In the event the employment relationship is terminated (a) by
Executive upon thirty (30) days' written notice pursuant to Subsection 5.1
hereof, (b) by Employer for "due cause" pursuant to Subsection 5.2 hereof, or
(c) by Executive breaching this Agreement by refusing to continue his/her
employment and failing to give the requisite thirty (30)

<PAGE>

days' written notice, all compensation and benefits shall cease as of the date
of termination, other than: (i) those benefits that are provided by retirement
and benefit plans and programs specifically adopted and approved by Employer for
Executive that are earned and vested by the date of termination, (ii)
Executive's pro rata annual salary through the date of termination, and (iii)
those benefits required by law to be made available to terminating employees.

     6.2. If Executive's employment relationship is terminated pursuant to
Subsection 5.3 hereof due to Executive's incapacity or death, Executive (or, in
the event of Executive's death, Executive's legal representative) will be
entitled to those benefits that are provided by retirement and benefits plans
and programs specifically adopted and approved by Employer for Executive that
are earned and vested at the date of termination and, even though no longer
employed by Employer, shall continue to receive salary compensation and benefits
continuation (payable in the manner as prescribed in the third sentence of
Subsection 2.1) for a two year period.

     6.3. If Employer (i) terminates the employment of Executive other than
pursuant to Subsection 5.2 hereof for "due cause" or other than for a disability
or death pursuant to Subsection 5.3 hereof, (ii) demotes the Executive to a
position below the then current position, status, title, office,
responsibilities, or reporting requirements, (iii) relocates the position
outside of a 40 mile geographical radius or (iv) decreases Executive's salary
below the Executive's current level or reduces the employee benefits and
perquisites below the level provided for by the terms of Section 2 hereof, other
than as a result of any amendment or termination of any employee and/or
executive benefit plan or arrangement, which amendment or termination is
applicable to all qualifying executives of Employer, then such action by
Employer, unless consented to in writing by Executive, shall be deemed to be a
constructive termination by Employer of Executive's employment (a "Constructive
Termination"). In the event of a Constructive Termination, Executive shall be
entitled to receive, in a lump sum within ten (10) days after the date of the
Constructive Termination, an amount equal to two years salary and benefits
continuation as described in Section 2 for a two year period. Employer will also
provide outplacement assistance to Executive in an amount not to exceed $25,000,
if so desired by Executive.

     6.4. For purposes of this Section 6, the term "salary" shall mean the sum
of (i) the annual rate of compensation provided to Executive by Employer under
Subsection 2.1 immediately prior to the Constructive Termination plus (ii) the
targeted cash annual bonuses (MICP) or other cash incentive compensation paid to
Executive (based upon most recent position) by Employer, and plus (iii) the
prorated amount of the Executive's current year's targeted cash annual bonus
(MICP).

     6.5. In the event of a Constructive Termination, all other rights and
benefits Executive may have under the employee and/or executive benefit plans
and arrangements of Employer generally shall be determined in accordance with
the terms and conditions of such plans and arrangements and shall continue for a
two year period.

<PAGE>

     Section 7. Covenants of Noncompetition.

     7.1. Executive acknowledges that he/she has received and/or will receive
specialized knowledge and training from Employer during the term of this
Agreement, and that such knowledge and training would provide an unfair
advantage if used to compete with Employer. For a one (1) year period after the
termination of employment, Executive agrees not to directly or indirectly
solicit, entice or induce any Employer customer to become a client, customer,
OEM/distributor or reseller of any other person, firm, or corporation with the
respect to products and/or services then sold by Employer or to cease doing
business with Employer, and will not approach any such person, firm, or
corporation for such purpose or authorize or knowingly approve the taking of
such action by any other person. Executive also agrees that, for a period of one
(1) year after the termination of employment, he/she will not, either directly
or indirectly, solicit any employee or other independent contractor of Employer
to terminate his/her employment or contract with Employer.

     Section 8. Change in Control.

     8.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a
"Change in Control" (as defined below) of Employer occurs and, within six months
from the date of the Change in Control, Executive voluntarily terminates his/her
employment under Subsection 5.1, then Executive, even though no longer employed
by Employer, shall be entitled to all payments provided in Subsection 6.3,
including two (2) years of the Executive's targeted cash annual bonus (MICP)
plus a prorated bonus at target for the current year as stated in Subsection 6.4
payable in a lump sum within ten (10) days after the date of termination.
Additionally, benefits will continue for a two year period as described in
Section 2.

     8.2. If a Change in Control occurs during the course of this Agreement, the
Board of Directors will cause to vest, within ten (10) days of the effective
date of the Change in Control, all remaining unvested stock options granted to
Executive.

     8.3. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Change in Control" of the
Employer shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as such term is
used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) other than any Employer employee stock ownership plan or the Employer,
becomes the beneficial owner (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of
securities of Employer representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of
Employer's then outstanding securities, (ii) the Board ceases to consist of a
majority of Continuing Directors (as defined below) or (iii) a person (as
defined in clause (i) above) acquires (or, during the 12-month period ending on
the date for the most recent acquisition by such person or group of persons, has
acquired) gross assets of Employer that have an aggregate market value greater
than or equal to over 50% of the fair market value of all of the gross assets of
Employer immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions, or (iv) Employer
is no longer publicly traded. It is clearly understood, however, that no

<PAGE>

change of control will be considered as having occurred as long as Employer
continues to be publicly traded and Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. maintains
ownership of more than 35% of the outstanding common shares of Employer,
controls the election of the Board of Directors and remains the single largest
shareholder of Employer.

     8.4. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Continuing Director" shall mean a
member of the Board of Directors who either (i) is a member of the Board of
Directors at the date of this Agreement or (ii) is nominated or appointed to
serve as a director by a majority of the then Continuing Directors.

     8.5.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (a) there is
a change in the ownership or control of Employer or (b) in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the assets of Employer within the meaning of Section 280G
of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 280G"), the payments to be paid to
Executive in the nature of compensation to be received by or for the benefit of
Executive and contingent upon such event (the "Termination Payments") would
create an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G, then
Employer shall make the Termination Payments in substantially equal
installments, the first installment being due within ten (10) days after the
date of termination and each subsequent installment being due on January 31 of
each year, such that the aggregate present value of all Termination Payments,
whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, will be as close as possible to
two times Executive's base salary and targeted cash bonuses, within the meaning
of Section 280G. It is the intention of this Subsection 8.5 to avoid excise
taxes on Executive under Section 4999 of the Code and the disallowance of a
deduction to Employer pursuant to Section 280G. However, if Employer makes an
error which triggers the excise tax or elects to pay Executive in lump sum and
triggers the tax, Executive will be entitled to receive a gross up to cover
incremental taxes owed.

     Section 9. Inventions.

     9.1.Any and all inventions, product, discoveries, improvements, processes,
formulae, manufacturing methods or techniques, designs or styles (collectively,
"Inventions") made, developed or created by Executive, alone or in conjunction
with others, during regular hours of work or otherwise, during the term of
Executive's employment with Employer that may be directly or indirectly related
to the business of, or tests being carried out by, Employer, or any of its
subsidiaries, shall be promptly disclosed by Executive to Employer and shall be
Employer's exclusive property.

     9.2.Executive will, upon Employer's request and without additional
compensation, execute any documents necessary or advisable in the opinion of
Employer's counsel to direct the issuance of patents to Employer with respect to
Inventions that are to be Employer's exclusive property under this Section 9 or
to vest in the Employer title to such Inventions; the expense of securing any
patent, however, shall be borne by Employer.

     9.3. Executive will hold for Employer's sole benefit any Invention that is
to be Employer's exclusive property under this Section 9 for which no patent is
issued.

<PAGE>

     9.4. Executive grants to Employer a royalty-free, nonexclusive irrevocable
license for any Inventions developed prior to the employment with Employer that
he has not reserved that are used by Executive in the performance of his duties
for Employer. Employee represents and warrants that any work produced by
Executive will not, to the best knowledge of Executive, infringe on any other
person's or entity's copyright or other proprietary rights, and Employee will
hold Employer harmless from any claims and losses based on such infringements.

     Section 10. No Violation. Executive represents that he/she is not bound by
any agreement with any former employer or other party that would be violated by
Executive's work for Employer.

     Section 11. Confidential and Proprietary Information.

     11.1. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he/she will not, without the
prior written consent of Employer, at any time during the term of this Agreement
or any time thereafter, except as may be required by competent legal authority
or as required by Employer to be disclosed in the course of performing
Executive's duties under this Agreement for Employer, use or disclose to any
person, firm or other legal entity, any confidential records, secrets or
information related to Employer or any parent, subsidiary or affiliated person
or entity (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Confidential Information
shall include, without limitation, information about Employer's Inventions,
customer lists, customer contracts, vendor contracts, and non-public financial
information. Executive acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information
of Employer and/or its affiliates that he/she has acquired, or may acquire, were
received, or will be received in confidence and as a fiduciary of Employer.
Executive will exercise utmost diligence to protect and guard such Confidential
Information.

     11.2. Executive agrees that he/she will not take with him/her upon the
termination of this Agreement, any document or paper, or any photocopy or
reproduction or duplication thereof, relating to any Confidential Information.

     Section 12. Return of Employer's Property. Upon the termination of this
Agreement or whenever requested by Employer, Executive shall immediately deliver
to Employer all property in his/her possession or under his/her control
belonging to Employer, in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

     Section 13. Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that the breach, or
threatened breach, by Executive of the provisions of this Agreement shall cause
irreparable harm to Employer, which harm cannot be fully redressed by the
payment of damages to Employer. Accordingly, Employer shall be entitled, in
addition to any other right or remedy it may have at law or in equity, to an
injunction enjoining or restraining Executive from any violation or threatened
violation of this Agreement.
