     6. Severance  Benefits.  Castle shall be entitled to the severance benefits
provided for in  subsection  (c) hereof in the event of the  termination  of his
employment  by  the  Company  without  cause  or in  the  event  of a  voluntary
termination of employment by Castle for good reason. In such event, Castle shall
have no duty to mitigate damages hereunder.  Castle and the Company  acknowledge
that the foregoing  provisions of this  paragraph 6 are reasonable and are based
upon the facts and  circumstances  of the parties at the time of  entering  into
this  Agreement,  and  with  this  Agreement,  and  with due  regard  to  future
expectations.

     (a) The term "cause" shall mean:

          (i) Castle's willful and continued  failure to  substantially  perform
     his duties under this Agreement (other than any such failure resulting from
     his  incapacity  due to  physical  or  mental  illness)  after  demand  for
     substantial performance is delivered to Castle by the Chairman of the Board
     of the Company which specifically  identifies the manner in which the Board
     believes Castle has not substantially performed his duties.

          (ii)  Castle's  failure  to  refuse  to  follow  directions  from  the
     Company's Board of Directors  provided that (a) Castle is provided  written
     notice of such  directions  and a reasonable  period in which to comply and
     (b) Castle's  compliance  with any such  direction  would not be illegal or
     unlawful.

          (iii)Any  act or  fraud,  embezzlement  or theft  committed  by Castle
     whether  or not in  connection  with his  duties  or in the  course  of his
     employment  which  substantially  impairs his ability to perform his duties
     hereunder.

          (iv) Any willful  disclosure by Castle of confidential  information or
     trade secrets of the Company or its affiliates.

          For purposes of this  paragraph,  no act or failure to act on Castle's
     part shall be considered  "willful"  unless done, or omitted to be done, by
     Castle not in good faith and without  reasonable  belief that his action or
     omission  was in the best  interest  of the  Company.  Notwithstanding  the
     foregoing,  Castle  shall not be deemed to have been  terminated  for cause
     unless and until there shall have been  delivered to him a copy of a notice
     of  termination  from  the  Chairman  of the  Board  of the  Company  after
     reasonable  notice to Castle and an opportunity for Castle with his counsel
     to be heard before the Board of  Directors  of the Company  finding that in
     the good faith opinion of such Board of Directors  Castle was guilty of the
     conduct  set forth in  clauses  (i),  (ii) or (iii) of this  paragraph  and
     specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

     (b) For these  purposes,  Castle shall have "good reason" to terminate this
Agreement if:

                                       2
<PAGE>

          (i)   the   Company    removes    Castle   from   the    position   of
     Vice-President-Finance at any time during the term of this Agreement;

          (ii) Castle's place of employment is moved beyond a fifty-mile  radius
     from the Company's current facility in Tampa, Florida.

     (c) The severance  benefits  under this section in the event of termination
without  cause or by Castle for "good  reason",  shall  consist of the continued
payment to Castle for the remaining term of this Agreement, of the annual salary
provided in Section 4(a) hereof plus the  immediate  vesting of all  outstanding
options.

     7. Death. In the event of Castle's death during the term of this Agreement,
Castle's  legal  representative  shall be entitled to receive his per annum base
salary as provided in  paragraph  4(a) of this  Agreement to the last day of the
calendar  quarter  following the calendar  quarter in which Castle's death shall
have  occurred  and  thereafter  to receive  one-half  (1/2) of the base  salary
provided  in  paragraph  4(a) of this  Agreement  for the  balance of the period
covered by this Employment Agreement.

     8. Non-Competition.

     (a) Castle  agrees that,  during the term of this  Agreement,  he will not,
without the prior  written  approval of the Board of  Directors  of the Company,
directly or indirectly,  through any other  individual or entity,  (a) become an
officer or employee of, or render any services [including  consulting  services]
to, any  competitor  of the  Company,  (b) solicit,  raid,  entice or induce any
customer of the Company to cease  purchasing  goods or services from the Company
or to become a customer of any  competitor  of the Company,  and Castle will not
approach any  customer for any such purpose or authorize  the taking of any such
actions by any other  individual  or entity,  or (c)  solicit,  raid,  entice or
induce any  employee  of the  Company,  and Castle  will not  approach  any such
employee for any such purpose or authorize  the taking of any such action by any
other individual or entity. However, nothing contained in this paragraph 8 shall
be  construed as  preventing  Castle from  investing  his assets in such form or
manner as will not require  him to become an officer or  employee  of, or render
any services (including consulting services) to, any competitor of the Company.

     (b) During the term hereof and at all times  thereafter,  Castle  shall not
disclose to any  person,  firm or  corporation  other than the Company any trade
secrets, trade information,  techniques or other confidential information of the
business of the Company, its methods of doing business or information concerning
its customers  learned or acquired by Castle during Castle's  relationship  with
the Company and shall not engage in any unfair trade  practices  with respect to
the Company.

     9. Enforcement.

     (a) The  necessity  for  protection  of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries
against  Castle's  competition,  as  well  as  the  nature  and  scope  of  such
protection,  has been carefully considered by the parties hereto in light of the
uniqueness of Castle's  talent and his  importance to the Company.  Accordingly,
Castle  agrees that, in addition to any other relief to which the Company may be
entitled,  the Company  shall be entitled to seek and obtain  injunctive  relief
(without the requirement of any bond) for the purpose of restraining Castle from
any actual or  threatened  breach of the  covenants  contained in paragraph 8 of
this Agreement.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     (b) If for any  reason  a court  determines  that  the  restrictions  under
paragraph 8 of this Agreement are not reasonable or that consideration  therefor
in adequate,  the parties  expressly  agree and covenant that such  restrictions
shall be interpreted,  modified or rewritten by such court to include as much of
the duration and scope identified in paragraph 8 as will render the restrictions
valid and enforceable.

     10.  Notices.  Any notice to be given to the  Company  or Castle  hereunder
shall be deemed given if delivered personally,  telefaxed or mailed by certified
or registered mail, postage prepaid,  to the other party hereto at the following

                                                                   Exhibit 10.52

                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement ("Agreement"), entered into as of the 27/th/ day of
October, 2000, between ATG Inc ("the Company") and Vik Mani ("Prospective
Employee") and collectively as "the Parties," is amended and agreed to by both
parties as of the _8th____ day of February, 2001.  This amended Agreement
supersedes the previous version of the Agreement; and the terms and conditions
contained herein shall govern the employment relationship between the Parties.
In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the Company hereby
employs Prospective Employee as its Chief Operating Officer, and Prospective
Employee hereby accepts such employment.

1.   The term of the employment is for thirty-six (36) months effective the date
     of joining of the Company by Prospective Employee. ATG will announce
     Prospective Employee as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the
     Company on a date mutually agreed upon. Prospective Employee shall start
     his employment, on a date mutually agreed upon between the Chief Executive
     Officer (CEO) of the Company and Prospective employee, which shall be soon
     after the Company announces Prospective Employee as its Chief Operating
     Officer. Prospective Employee is not employed "at-will", but is employed
     under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2.   Prospective Employee will report at all times to the CEO of the Company.
     The following officers and department heads shall report to Prospective
     Employee: All operations personnel and business development personnel,
     except Fred Feizollahi.  As COO of ATG, Prospective Employee's duties and
     responsibilities will be to manage the Company's marketing, sales and
     operations. Provided, however, that the Engineering Department (headed by
     Fred Feizollahi) is outside of the scope of the COO's responsibilities. The
     COO reports directly to the CEO. The COO will have no responsibility for
     the financial management of the Company and is not authorized to sign
     Company checks or decide to whom such checks will or will not be written..
     The Finance, Accounting and Comptroller organizations report directly to
     the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who reports directly to the CEO; and
     neither these organizations nor the CFO report to or are within the control
     of the COO or the Operations organization. The COO is not required or
     permitted to be involved in the collection, accounting or payment of taxes
     or other indebtedness on behalf of the Company.

3.   The Company shall pay a signing bonus ("Signing Bonus") of $560,000.00,
     hereby receipted for by Prospective Employee, and received by the
     Prospective Employee in two payments on October 5, 2000 ($307,500) and
     October 20, 2000 ($252,500) prior to Prospective Employee giving notice to
     his present employer of the intent to resign his employment. The Signing
     Bonus is paid to

                                       1
<PAGE>

     the Prospective Employee in consideration of the fact that the Prospective
     Employee is agreeing to resign his current employment as Senior Vice
     President with his current employer, CH2M Hill, a premier company of world
     standing in the industry and robust financial condition. By giving up his
     employment with CH2M Hill, the Prospective Employee is sacrificing in
     excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) in annual bonuses, long-term
     incentive compensation, stock options, retirement plans, ESOP contributions
     and company stock appreciation. ATG considers the services of the
     Prospective Employee critical to its credibility in the industry because of
     the proven credentials, skills and experience of the Prospective Employee
     and is, therefore, willing to make this up-front investment as a Signing
     Bonus for the Prospective Employee as inducement for Prospective Employee
     to resign his current employment and join ATG, a much smaller company with
     potential for growth but facing much greater challenges and uncertainties.
     The Signing Bonus shall be irrevocable and non-refundable to the Company
     and is for the inducement to the Prospective Employee to execute this
     Agreement and leave his current, senior level employment with a more
     assured financial future and guaranteed employee benefits. Upon the
     execution of this Agreement and giving notice to his current employer, the
     said Signing Bonus shall be deemed fully earned. Prospective Employee shall
     be responsible for all taxes associated with the signing bonus, i.e.
     federal and state withholding for income taxes, social security, and
     Medicare.

4.   In addition to the Signing Bonus described in Section 3., the Company shall
     pay Prospective Employee a salary of $325,000, in the first twelve (12)
     months of employment payable in accordance with Company current payroll
     practices as other employees are scheduled for their payment of employment
     compensation. Total first twelve (12) months' compensation, excluding the
     Signing Bonus and stock options as hereinafter set forth, is $325,000
     gross.

5.   The Company shall pay to Prospective Employee in the second twelve (12)
     month period of employment, a salary of $300,000.  Further, Company shall
     pay Prospective Employee a performance cash bonus of $50,000.00 based on
     predetermined performance goal as set forth below. The total compensation
     is $350,000 in the second twelve (12) month time period if performance goal
     is met, excluding stock options as hereinafter set forth.  The performance
     goal is defined as the Company obtaining a minimum of $15 million ("New
     Business Goal") of new DOE business (contracted capacity) from INEEL,
     Hanford, Rocky Flats or any other DOE contracts within twenty-four (24)
     months from commencement of the employment.  Once the $15 million minimum
     New Business Goal requirement is met, the performance cash bonus will be
     earned based on $10,000 per million dollars of new business up to a maximum
     of $50,000.  Such performance bonus earned by the Prospective Employee
     shall be paid to the Prospective Employee at six month intervals commencing
     the date

                                       2
<PAGE>

     of achievement of the new business goal, but no later than 30 days after
     earning the maximum second twelve (12) month employment period performance
     bonus as stated above. In the event Prospective Employee is terminated by
     the Company, resigns for Good Reason, as hereinafter defined, or due to
     Change of Control, as hereinafter defined, or dies or becomes disabled
     during the second twelve (12) month period, such performance bonus will be
     computed and paid on the same basis as if he were still employed with the
     Company for such period.

6.   The Company shall pay to Prospective Employee in the third twelve (12)
     month  period of employment a salary of $300,000 , plus a cash bonus up to
     the amount of $50,000 based on the performance goal to be determined by
     both Parties.  Such goal will not be less than $20 million of DOE New
     Business ($20 million of DOE new business contracted capacity) from
     Hanford, Rocky Flats, INEEL or any other DOE contracts, however, alternate
     sources of "New Business" may be agreed upon between the Company and the
     Prospective Employee as the basis for setting the performance goal (New
     Business) stated above.  Such bonus shall be paid to Prospective Employee
     pro-rated at 6 month intervals commencing the date of achievement of the
     performance goal, but no later than thirty (30) days after earning the
     bonus set forth above.  In the event Prospective Employee is terminated by
     the Company, resigns for Good Reason, as hereinafter defined, or due to
     Change of Control, as hereinafter defined, or dies or becomes disabled
     during the third twelve (12) month  period, such bonus will be computed and
     paid on the same basis as if he were still employed with the Company for
     such period.  During the third twelve (12) month period of employment only,
     the Prospective Employee will be paid salary at the annual salary rate of
     $300,000 only after the performance goal as agreed upon between the Company
     and the Prospective Employee as stated above is achieved and the actual
     business delivered during the first 24 months of employment is at least $10
     million.  During the third twelve (12) month period of employment only,
     until such a time when the performance goal is achieved, the Prospective
     Employee will be paid salary at the reduced annual rate of  $200,000.  In
     the event the performance goal for the third twelve (12) month  period is
     not mutually agreed to, then it shall be as set forth above, which is
     defined as the Company obtaining a minimum of $20 million ("New Business
     Goal") of new DOE business (contracted capacity) from INEEL, Hanford, Rocky
     Flats or any other DOE contracts within 24 months from commencement of the
     employment.

7.   In addition to the Company's New Business Goals, as the Chief Operating
     Officer, Prospective Employee understands that other overall measures of
     Company's performance, such as profitability, cost cutting measures, health
     and safety, effective and efficient operation, new market and product
     development, will also be within Prospective Employee's executive
     responsibility.  However, the standard for Performance Bonus eligibility
     shall be the New Business Goals.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     Because of such responsibilities of Prospective Employee, the Company
     agrees to provide Prospective Employee with a sufficient operations budget
     assistance and support to allow the accomplishment of the New Business
     Goals, such as reasonable travel and entertainment expenses, cell phone,
     computer, etc and other customary Business Development expenses, as well as

     days after submitting the expenses or at the next pay period, whichever is

     Business Goals, may be affected by matters beyond Prospective Employee's
     control and/or prior knowledge, such as Company's financial condition,

     bonuses or terminate Prospective Employee's employment for Cause (as

     Employee's control and/or prior knowledge.

     the Prospective Employee will make himself available to ATG upon request on
     an exclusive consulting basis at the rate of $2000/day for a minium period
     of up to 180 days following his resignation in order to assure an orderly
     transition.  The foregoing shall constitute Company's exclusive remedy in
     the event that Prospective Employee terminates his employment prior to the
     expiration of the (36) months terms of this agreement due to no breach of
     this Agreement by the Company.  Company expressly waives the right to seek
     other remedies , including but not limited to specific performance, or to
     claim damages, whether arising in contract, tort, otherwise including
     (negligence and strict liability) in connection with Prospective Employee's
     resignation of his employment. In the event the Prospective Employee
     resigns during the term of this Agreement due to breach of this Agreement
     by the Company, the Company filing  Bankruptcy  in any form, or for  Good
     Reason (hereinafter defined), then the Company shall pay the Prospective
     Employee an amount equal to one twelve (12) month period salary for the
     twelve (12) month period of such resignation earned but not paid
