Dear Paul:

         This letter agreement (the "Agreement") among you (the "Employee"),
PROVANT, Inc. ("PROVANT") and PROVANT's subsidiary, Behavioral Technology, Inc.
(the "Company"), is intended to set forth the arrangements with respect to the
termination of the Employee's employment with the Company.

        1. The Employee hereby resigns effective March 31, 2000 (the
"Termination Date") as an employee and officer of the Company and from any other
position that the Employee may hold with PROVANT or any of its subsidiaries
(PROVANT and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the
"PROVANT Group"), provided, however, that the Employee shall continue to serve
as a member of the Board of Directors of PROVANT until his successor is duly
elected and qualified. The Employee, the Company and PROVANT (collectively
referred to as the "Parties") agree that the Employment Agreement dated as of
May 4, 1998 between the Employee and the Company (the "Employment Agreement") is
hereby terminated as of the Termination Date, except for the provisions of
Sections 7 through 23, inclusive, of the Employment Agreement which shall remain
in full force and effect. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that he has
received payment in full of all amounts due to the Employee from the PROVANT
Group for accrued wages, benefits (including, without limitation, accrued,
unused vacation leave, earned commissions, and scheduled advances) and any other
payments accrued through the Termination Date or to which the Employee is
otherwise entitled in connection with the Employee's employment with the Company
or the termination of such employment.

        2. In consideration for the Employee's execution of and compliance with
this Agreement, the Company agrees to provide the Employee with the "Severance
Benefits" described in the following subparagraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d):

         (a) The Company shall pay the Employee (i) from the Termination Date
through April 30, 2001, $10,716.66 per month and (ii) from May 1, 2001 through
October 31, 2001, $14,583.33 per month, in each case payable on the same
schedule as executives of the Company then receive regular salary payments, such
payments to begin on the Company's first

regular payroll date following the Effective Date of this Agreement (as defined
in paragraph 14) (the "Severance Payments"). The period beginning on the
Termination Date and ending on October 31, 2001 is referred to herein as the
"Payment Period". The Severance Payments and the Bonus Payment (as defined in
paragraph 1(b)) shall be subject to all applicable withholding taxes and similar
required or authorized deductions.

         (b) On or before September 30, 2000, the Company shall pay the Employee
a one-time payment of $70,000 (the "Bonus Payment") if the Company achieves its
revenue and EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) targets for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2000 such that the Executive would have been eligible for
the Bonus Payment had he continued to be employed with the Company. In
determining whether or not the Company has achieved its revenue and EBIT targets
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the expenses of the Company for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 will be adjusted such that the Company incurs no
greater expense or benefit as a result of the restructuring charge to be taken
by PROVANT than the Company would have incurred had the restructuring charge not
occurred.

         (c) Within ten (10) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement (as
defined in paragraph 14), the Company shall pay to the Employee a one-time
payment of $788.76.

         (d) The Company will offer the Employee the opportunity to continue to
participate in its group medical insurance program (the "Health Plan") pursuant
to the health care continuation provisions of the federal COBRA law. If the
Employee is eligible for COBRA coverage, elects to continue coverage under the
Health Plan pursuant to COBRA and timely makes all required contributions in
full for such coverage and otherwise maintains eligibility for COBRA coverage,
then in consideration of the Employee's execution of and compliance with this
Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the Employee in substantially equal
installments for the Payment Period, or if shorter, the period beginning on the
Effective Date and ending on the date the Employee's right to continue coverage
under the Health Plan pursuant to COBRA expires, an amount equal to the portion
of the premium for health care coverage paid by the Company for similarly
situated active executives of the Company for coverage under the Health Plan.
The Employee hereby authorizes and requests the Company to (i) withhold from the
Severance Payments the Employee's portion of premiums for COBRA coverage under
the Health Plan not paid for by the Company, and (ii) forward to the Health Plan
insurer such withheld amount and the amounts described in the preceding
sentence. The Employee's eligibility to participate in and receive benefits
under the Health Plan shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the
Health Plan.

              The Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the foregoing
Severance Benefits are in excess of all other payments, benefits, and things of
value to which the

Employee would be entitled if the Employee did not execute and comply with this
Agreement; and (ii) the Severance Benefits shall not be deemed to be salary or
other compensation to the Employee for purposes of any plans, programs or
arrangements maintained or contributed to by the Company or the PROVANT Group to
provide benefits to its employees, directors or officers ("Benefit Plans").

         3. The Company hereby conveys, assigns and transfers to the Employee
the following:

         (a) the personal laptop computer, including the currently installed
software, the monitor, the keyboard, the docking station, the computer cables
and the related service contract, purchased by the Company for use by the
Employee;

         (b) all of the Company's copies of Get Hired; and

         (c) any royalties received by the Company pursuant to that certain
agreement dated July 21, 1998 between the Company and Jossey-Bass Inc.
Publishers, as a result of sales of the book entitled Robust Competencies to
persons or entities other than the PROVANT Group (which royalties shall be paid
to the Employee within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such royalties by the
Company).

        4. The Employee acknowledges that (a) there are no other benefits,
compensation or remuneration of any kind owing to the Employee from the PROVANT
Group, including, without limitation, any accrued vacation or sick pay, other
than the Employee's rights, if any, under COBRA and the Employee's rights, if
any, under the Company's qualified retirement plan, and (b) if the Employee
hereafter serves as an independent contractor of the Company or a director of
PROVANT, then in such capacity the Employee shall not be entitled to participate
in, accrue any benefits under, or receive any payments from any Benefit Plans
(except as otherwise expressly provided under the terms of such plans).

        5. The Employee agrees that all source code, object code, memoranda,
notes, records, charts, reports, letters and other documents and software made,
compiled, received, held or used by the Employee while employed by the Company,
concerning any phase of the business of the Company or the PROVANT Group, are
the property of the Company or the PROVANT Group, as the case may be, and,
together with all reproductions or abstracts thereof and together with all
Company or PROVANT Group credit cards and keys (other than his key to the
Company's building that he owns), have been returned to the Company.

        6. The Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is
intended to be a complete and final settlement of any and all causes of action
or claims that the Employee

execution of this Agreement or otherwise bar the Employee from challenging this
Agreement's compliance with the provisions of 29 U.S.C. Section 627(f)(1)), the
Fair Labor Standards Act, the state and local laws of Massachusetts and
Tennessee.

        7. The Company represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, the
Company knows of no claims or causes of action of whatever kind or nature which

        8. The Employee hereby agrees not to disclose to any person (except the
Employee's spouse, attorney or financial advisor), organization or agency the
terms of this Agreement except as required by law and then only after notice is
given by the Employee or the Employee's attorney to the Company such that, where
feasible, the Company will have a reasonable prior opportunity to oppose such
disclosure; notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the
Employee has already discussed some of the terms of this Agreement with John F.

to be made to the Employee and benefits to be made available to the Employee in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the performance by the Company
of its other obligations hereunder, shall be conditioned on the Employee's

       12. The Company and the Employee agree that irreparable damages would
occur in the event that Sections 5, 6, 8 and 9 of this Agreement are not
performed by the party obligated thereunder in accordance with their specific
terms. It is accordingly agreed that the other party will be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the party obligated thereunder
and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court having
jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled
at law or in equity.

       13. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof
to any person, property or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, then at the election of the party primarily benefitted by such
term or provision, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such
term or provision to persons, property or circumstances other than those as to
which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each
term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

       14. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has been given a full and
fair opportunity to consider this Agreement. The Employee is hereby advised to

Should the Employee decide to sign the Agreement, the Employee has seven (7)
days following the signing to revoke the Agreement, and the Agreement will not
become effective and enforceable until that seven (7) day revocation period has
expired (the "Effective Date"). Should the Employee either decide not to sign

Agreement shall be null and void. No payments or benefits provided for by this

the Employee revoking this Agreement.

       15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with

Dear John:

         This letter agreement (the "Agreement") among you (the "Employee"),
PROVANT, Inc. ("PROVANT") and PROVANT's subsidiary, MOHR Learning, Inc. (f/k/a
Learning Systems Sciences, Inc.) (the "Company"), is intended to set forth the
arrangements with respect to the termination of the Employee's employment with
the Company.

        1. The Employee hereby resigns effective March 31, 2000 (the
"Termination Date") as an employee and officer of the Company and from any other
position that the Employee may hold with PROVANT or any of its subsidiaries
(PROVANT and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the
"PROVANT Group"). The Employee, the Company and PROVANT (collectively referred
to as the "Parties") agree that the Employment Agreement dated as of May 4, 1998
between the Employee and the Company (the "Employment Agreement") is hereby
terminated as of the Termination Date, except for the provisions of Sections 7
through 23, inclusive, of the Employment Agreement which shall remain in full
force and effect. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that he has received
payment in full of all amounts due to the Employee from the PROVANT Group for
accrued wages, benefits (including, without limitation, accrued, unused vacation
leave, earned commissions, and scheduled advances) and any other payments
accrued through the Termination Date or to which the Employee is otherwise
entitled in connection with the Employee's employment with the Company or the
termination of such employment.

        2. In consideration for the Employee's execution of and compliance with
this Agreement, the Company agrees to provide the Employee with the "Severance
Benefits" described in the following subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c):

         (a) From the Termination Date through October 4, 2001 (the "Payment
Period"), the Company shall pay the Employee installments of the Employee's base
salary at the rate in effect at the Termination Date ($175,000 per year) and on
the same schedule as executives of the Company then receive regular salary
payments, such payments to begin on the Company's first regular payroll date
following the Effective Date of this Agreement (as defined in paragraph 13) (the
"Severance Payments"). The Severance Payments and the Bonus Payment

<PAGE>   2

(as defined in paragraph 1(b)) shall be subject to all applicable withholding
taxes and similar required or authorized deductions.

         (b) On or before August 15, 2000, the Company shall pay the Employee a
one-time payment of $52,500 (the "Bonus Payment") if the Company achieves its
revenue and EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) targets for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2000 such that the Executive would have been eligible for
the Bonus Payment had he continued to be employed with the Company.

         (c) The Company will offer the Employee the opportunity to continue to
participate in its group medical insurance program (the "Health Plan") pursuant
to the health care continuation provisions of the federal COBRA law. If the
Employee is eligible for COBRA coverage, elects to continue coverage under the
Health Plan pursuant to COBRA and timely makes all required contributions in
full for such coverage and otherwise maintains eligibility for COBRA coverage,
then in consideration of the Employee's execution of and compliance with this
Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the Employee in substantially equal
installments for the Payment Period, or if shorter, the period beginning on the
Effective Date and ending on the date the Employee's right to continue coverage
under the Health Plan pursuant to COBRA expires, an amount equal to the portion
of the premium for health care coverage paid by the Company for similarly
situated active executives of the Company for coverage under the Health Plan.
The Employee hereby authorizes and requests the Company to (i) withhold from the
Severance Payments the Employee's portion of premiums for COBRA coverage under
the Health Plan, and (ii) forward to the Health Plan insurer such withheld
amount and the amounts described in the preceding sentence. The Employee's
eligibility to participate in and receive benefits under the Health Plan shall
remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Health Plan.

              The Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the foregoing
Severance Benefits are in excess of all other payments, benefits, and things of
value to which the Employee would be entitled if the Employee did not execute
and comply with this Agreement; and (ii) the Severance Benefits shall not be
deemed to be salary or other compensation to the Employee for purposes of any
plans, programs or arrangements maintained or contributed to by the Company to
provide benefits to its employees, directors or officers ("Benefit Plans").

        3. The Employee acknowledges that (a) there are no other benefits,
compensation or remuneration of any kind owing to the Employee from the PROVANT
Group, including, without limitation, any accrued vacation or sick pay, other
than the Employee's rights, if any, under COBRA, and (b) if the Employee
hereafter serves as an independent contractor of the Company, then in such
capacity the Employee shall not be entitled to participate in, accrue any

otherwise expressly provided under the terms of such plans).

        4. The Employee agrees that all source code, object code, memoranda,
notes, records, charts, reports, letters and other documents and software made,
compiled, received, held or used by the Employee while employed by the Company,
concerning any phase of the business of the Company or the PROVANT Group, are
the property of the Company or the PROVANT Group, as the case may be, and,
together with all reproductions or abstracts thereof and together with all
Company or PROVANT Group credit cards and keys, have been returned to the
Company.

        5. The Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is
intended to be a complete and final settlement of any and all causes of action
or claims that the Employee has had, now has or may now have, whether known or
unknown against the PROVANT Group or any of the persons or entities specified
below. The Employee hereby, on behalf of the Employee, the Employee's executors,
heirs, administrators, assigns and anyone else claiming by, through or under the
Employee, waives, releases, covenants not to sue and forever discharges the
PROVANT Group, its predecessors, successors, related corporations, subsidiaries,
divisions and affiliated organizations, and each and all of their present and
former officers, directors, shareholders, representatives, agents, promoters,
employees and attorneys (hereinafter "Releasees"), and each and all of them of,
from and with respect to any and all debts, demands, actions, causes of action,
suits, covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, torts, damages, claims,

        7. The Employee hereby agrees not to disclose to any person (except the
Employee's spouse, attorney or financial advisor), organization or agency the
terms of this Agreement except as required by law and then only after notice is
given by the Employee or the Employee's attorney to the Company such that, where

at law or in equity.

       12. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof
to any person, property or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, then at the election of the party primarily benefitted by such
term or provision, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such
term or provision to persons, property or circumstances other than those as to
which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each
term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

       13. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has been given a full and
fair opportunity to consider this Agreement. The Employee is hereby advised to
