                         | CLAYTON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. |

      Such Base Salary shall be reviewed annually, and shall be subject to such
      annual increases, if any, as determined by Employer.

      Employer shall pay to Employee an Automobile Allowance of $650 per month
      in addition to salary, subject to applicable withholding under applicable
      law.

      Notwithstanding the "at will" nature of this Agreement and Employee's
      employment hereunder, if Employee's employment under this Agreement is
      terminated for any reason other than (i) for cause (as referenced in
      Section I(b)) or (ii) as a result of Employee's voluntary termination
      other than for Good Reason (as defined below), death or disability,
      Employer shall provide to Employee the following termination benefits
      ("Termination Benefits"):

               (i)    continuation of salary at a rate equal to 100% of
          Employee's Base Salary as in effect at the date of termination for a
          period of twelve (12) months following the date of termination
          (payment shall be subject to withholding under applicable law and
          shall be made in periodic installments in accordance with the
          Employer's payroll policies; and

               (ii)   continuation of group health plan benefits during the
          period during which Employee is receiving payments pursuant to
          subsection (i) above, to the extent authorized by and consistent with
          29 U.S.C. Section 1161 ET SEQ. (commonly known as "COBRA"), with the
          cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same
          relative proportion by the Employer and Employee as in effect on the
          date of termination.

      Employer shall have the right to terminate all of the Termination Benefits
      set forth in this Section IV in the event that Employee fails to comply
      with Employee's continuing obligations under Section X of this Agreement
      and under the Employee Agreement. Employer's liability for Base Salary
      continuation pursuant to subsection (i) shall be reduced by the amount of
      any severance pay paid to Employee pursuant to any severance pay plan of
      Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section IV shall
      be construed to affect Employee's right to receive COBRA continuation
      entirely at Employee's own cost to the extent that Employee may continue
      to be entitled to COBRA continuation after Employee's right to cost
      sharing under subsection (ii) ceases. Employer and Employee agree that the
      Termination Benefits paid by Employer to Employee under this Section IV
      shall be in full satisfaction, compromise and release of any claims
      arising exclusively out of any termination of Employee's employment under
      this Agreement, and that the payment of the Termination Benefits shall be
      contingent upon Employee's delivery of a general release effectuating such
      full satisfaction, compromise and release, in favor of Employer and its
      affiliates of any and all claims arising exclusively out of any such
      termination, which general release shall be effective

      upon termination of employment and shall be in a form reasonably
      satisfactory to Employer, it being understood that no Termination Benefits
      shall be provided unless and until Employee executes and delivers such
      release.

      For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence of
      any of the following events: (i) a substantial adverse change in the
      nature or scope of the Employee's responsibilities, authorities, powers,
      functions or duties under this Agreement; (ii) a reduction in the
      Employee's annual Base Salary; or (iii) the relocation of the offices at
      which the Employee is principally employed to any other location which is
      more than fifty (50) miles from the current location of such offices.

      Maximum variable compensation of $112,500 based upon a "Meets", $155,000
      based upon "Exceeds" and $200,000 based upon a "Far Exceeds" performance
      rating. This rating is based upon Company and Employee performance against
      a series of specific indicators established for Employee's role and
      responsibilities within the organization. The specific indicators of
      performance will be determined within 45 days of Employee's hire date.
      Variable compensation specified above is the maximum payable on an
      annualized basis. All incentive compensation will be reviewed at the end
      of 2004.

      The Employee will receive a guaranteed bonus of $100,000 for the period
      ending December 31, 2004, except if he voluntarily leaves the employment
      of the Employer, or is terminated for cause (as referenced in Section
      I(b)) prior to December 31, 2004. The Employee will not be entitled to a
      guaranteed bonus subsequent to December 31, 2004.

VI.   RELOCATION:

      The Employee acknowledges that he will relocate so that he may work from
      the Employer's Shelton, CT office. The Employer will pay directly or
      reimburse to the Employee a relocation reimbursement of up to $65,000 (the
      "Relocation Reimbursement") for allowable moving costs related to his
      relocation. All travel to and from Clayton to the employee's current home,
      temporary housing while working in Shelton, CT, and costs incurred in
      selling his home and relocating his personal effects will be deducted from
      the Relocation Reimbursement up to the $65,000 limit specified above. The
      Employee acknowledges that his relocation must be completed no later than
      September 15, 2005. Relocation Reimbursement must be used in order to be
      paid. Should employee not use the entire $65,000 limit by September 15,
      2005 he forfeits the remaining balance.

      The Employee acknowledges that should he voluntarily leave the employment
      of the Employer within 12 months of his date of employment, he must

      be prorated.

      take such actions as necessary in order to reaffirm the covenants and

      requirements of this Agreement.

VIII. BENEFITS:

      Employee shall be entitled to participate in any Employer established
      insurance plan(s) on the same terms and conditions as other employees of
      Employer and in a manner consistent with and in accordance with the terms

      and any and all other trade secrets or proprietary and confidential
      information or materials of Employer or any customer or potential
      customer.

      Except as required in the course of representing Employer and in the
      furtherance of Employer's interests, Employee shall not use or disclose
      Confidential Information to any person or entity for any reason or purpose
      whatsoever during or after the term of Employee's employment by or other

[CLAYTON LOGO]

                         | CLAYTON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. |

      Information may have occurred or is likely to occur. Employee shall not
      publish or submit for publication any material based upon any Confidential
      Information without the prior written consent of an officer of Employer.

      Employee acknowledges that Employer has expended time, effort and money to
      obtain and develop the Confidential Information, and that the Confidential
      Information constitutes special, valuable and unique assets of Employer,
      without regard to whether or not any of the Confidential Information is
      embodied in tangible or intangible form.

      Employee shall protect all property of Employer, Parent and their
      affiliates (and property of customer(s) to which Employee has access
      because of Employee's employment by or other engagement with Employer)
      with the utmost care and shall not suffer or permit any such property,
      including, without limitation, copies of any such property or any
      proprietary works to be removed from Employer's offices or other locations
      without the consent of an officer of Employer. All materials containing
      Confidential Information are the property of Employer, Parent or the
      affiliate as the case may be. Employee acknowledges and shall adhere to
      Employer's, Parent's, and their affiliates' security policies and
      measures, including, but not limited to: (i) locking offices and file
      cabinets; (ii) enforcing and complying with Employer's sign in and out
      procedures; and (iii) provision of information only to those authorized to
      receive it, who have signed Confidentiality Agreements with Employer, and
      who need to know such information. In addition, Employee acknowledges and
      shall adhere to Employer's procedures concerning password-protected
      computer access and, among other things, shall safeguard and maintain the
      confidentiality of any and all such passwords used to access records or
      information.

      Employee acknowledges that the provisions of this Section X and the
      Employee Agreement are integral parts of Employee's employment
      arrangements with Employer.

XII.  REMEDIES:

      Employee recognizes that the remedy(ies) at law for violation of Section X
      of this Agreement and/or the provisions of the Employee Agreement will be
      inadequate and that in any event such damages will be substantial but not
      readily ascertainable and that Employer will suffer continuing and
      irreparable injury to its Business as a direct result of such violation.
      Employee agrees that if Employee should breach or fail to perform, or to
      threaten to breach or fail to perform any term, condition, or duty
      contained in this Agreement, Employer shall be entitled to institute and
      prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction either in law
      or in equity to obtain the specific performance thereof by Employee or to
      enjoin Employee from violating the provisions hereof. Pending the outcome
      of any such litigation, Employer shall be entitled to obtain temporary,
      preliminary, and permanent injunctive or other relief, without bond.
      Employer shall be entitled to recover from Employee all reasonable
      attorneys' fees, court costs and related expenses incurred in enforcing
      this Agreement.

XIII. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION:

      Except for injunctive relief available to Employer in connection with any
      breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement, any
      dispute under this Agreement that cannot be resolved by the Parties, other
      than injunctive relief, shall be required to be resolved by binding
      arbitration of the parties hereto. Said arbitration will take place in
      Hartford, Connecticut (or such other location as the Parties mutually
      agree), with each party selecting an arbitrator and both arbitrators
      selecting a third arbitrator. The arbitration shall be governed by the
      rules of the American Arbitration Association then in force and effect.
      Any and all cost associated with said arbitration will be shared equally.

XIV.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS:

      (a)   AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS: This Agreement may be amended,
            changed, modified or altered only by an instrument in writing
            executed by the Parties.

      (b)   WAIVERS: Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of
            this Agreement will not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of
            any other breach of such provision or any other provision of this
            Agreement. The failure of any party to insist upon strict adherence
            to any term of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver of,
            nor shall it deprive, any party of the right thereafter to insist
            upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this
            Agreement.

      (c)   SEVERABILITY: Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be
            severable. If any Section or provision, or sub-paragraph or
            sub-part, of this Agreement shall, for any reason, be adjudged by
            any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
            such judgment shall not affect, impair or otherwise invalidate the
            remainder of this Agreement or the Section or provision, or
            sub-paragraph or sub-part, but shall be confined in its operation to
            the Section or provision, or sub-paragraph or sub-part, of this
            Agreement directly involved in the controversy in which judgment
            shall have been rendered. If any Section or provision, or
            sub-paragraph or sub-part, hereof is deemed unenforceable because of
            its scope in terms of area, time or business activities, or any
            other reason, the Court may modify such Section or provision, or
            sub-paragraph or sub-party, by reductions, additions, or limitations
            thereon, or otherwise, so as to be render the Section or provision,
            or sub-paragraph or sub-part, enforceable to the fullest extent
            permissible under applicable law.

      (d)   GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
            the laws of the State of Connecticut and the obligations, rights,
            and remedies of the Parties hereunder shall be determined in
            accordance with such laws without reference to the principles of
            conflicts of law thereof. The parties hereby agree that they are and
            shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
            Connecticut and the United States District Court for the District of
            Connecticut. Venue for all

                           CLAYTON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                               EMPLOYEE AGREEMENT

     In consideration and as a condition of my employment by Clayton
Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), I agree as set forth below.

1.   PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. I agree that all information, whether or not in
writing, concerning the Company's business, technology, business relationships
or financial affairs which the Company has not released to the general public
(collectively, "Proprietary Information") is and will be the exclusive property
of the Company. By way of illustration, Proprietary Information may include
information or material which has not been made generally available to the
public, such as: (a) CORPORATE INFORMATION, including plans, strategies,
methods, policies, resolutions, negotiations or litigation; (b) MARKETING
INFORMATION, including strategies, methods, customer identities or other
information about customers, prospect identities or other information about
prospects, or market analyses or projections; (c) FINANCIAL INFORMATION,
including cost and performance data, debt arrangements, equity structure,
investors and holdings, purchasing and sales data and price lists; (d)
OPERATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION, including plans, specifications,
manuals, forms, templates, software, designs, procedures, formulas, discoveries,
inventions, improvements, concepts and ideas; and (e) PERSONNEL INFORMATION,
including personnel lists, reporting or organizational structure, resumes,
personnel data, compensation structure, performance evaluations and termination
arrangements or documents. Proprietary Information also includes information
received in confidence by the Company from its customers or suppliers or other
third parties.

2.   RECOGNITION OF COMPANY'S RIGHTS. I will not, at any time, without the
Company's prior written permission, either during or after my employment,
disclose any Proprietary Information to anyone outside of the Company, or use or
permit to be used any Proprietary Information for any purpose other than the
performance of my duties as an employee of the Company. I will cooperate with
the Company and use my best efforts to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of
all Proprietary Information. I will deliver to the Company all copies of
Proprietary Information in my possession or control upon the earlier of a
request by the Company or termination of my employment.

3.   RIGHTS OF OTHERS. I understand that the Company is now and may hereafter be
subject to non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements with third persons which
require the Company to protect or refrain from use of proprietary information. I
agree to be bound by the terms of such agreements in the event I have access to
such proprietary information.

4.   COMMITMENT TO COMPANY; AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST. While an employee
of the Company, I will devote my full working time and efforts to the Company's
business, I will not engage in any other business activity that conflicts with
my duties to the Company and I will comply with the Company's policies and codes
of conduct and applicable law, always using my best efforts to promote the
highest standards of ethics and client service. I will advise the Chief
Executive Officer, the President or the managing partner of the Company or his
or her nominee at such time as any activity of either the Company or another
business presents me with a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict
of interest as an employee of the Company. I will take whatever action is
requested of me by the Company to resolve any conflict or appearance of conflict
which it finds to exist.

5.   DEVELOPMENTS. I will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all
inventions, discoveries, designs, developments, methods, modifications,
improvements, processes, algorithms, databases, computer programs, formulae,
techniques, trade secrets, graphics or images, audio or visual works, and other
works of authorship (collectively "Developments"), whether or not patentable or
copyrightable, that are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by me
(alone or jointly with others) or under my direction during the period of my
employment. I acknowledge that all work performed by me is on a "work for hire"
basis, and I hereby do assign and transfer, and will assign and transfer, to the
Company and its successors and assigns all my right, title and interest in all
Developments that (a) relate to the business of the Company or any customer of
or supplier to the Company or any of the products or services being researched,
developed or sold by the Company or which may be used with such products or
services; (b) result from tasks assigned to me by the Company; or (c) result
from the use of premises or personal property (whether tangible or intangible)
owned, leased or contracted for by the Company ("Company-Related Developments"),
and all related patents, patent applications, trademarks and trademark
applications, copyrights and copyright applications, and other intellectual
property rights in all countries and territories worldwide and under any
international conventions ("Intellectual Property Rights").

     To preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on EXHIBIT A
attached hereto a complete list of Developments that I have, alone or jointly
with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the
commencement of my employment with the Company that I consider to be my property
or the property of third parties and that I wish to have excluded from the scope
of this Agreement ("Prior Inventions"). I have also listed on EXHIBIT A all
patents and patent applications in which I am named as an inventor, other than
those which have been assigned to the Company ("Other Patent Rights"). If no
such disclosure is attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions or
Other Patent Rights. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I
incorporate a Prior Invention into a Company product, process or machine or
other work done for the Company, I hereby

<Page>

grant to the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide
license (with the full right to sublicense) to make, have made, modify, use and
sell such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I will not
incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any
Company-Related Development without the Company's prior written consent.

     This Agreement does not obligate me to assign to the Company any
Development which is developed entirely on my own time and does not relate to
the business efforts or research and development efforts in which, during the
period of my employment, the Company actually is engaged or reasonably would be
engaged, and does not result from the use of premises or equipment owned or
leased by the Company. However, I will also promptly disclose to the Company any
such Developments for the purpose of determining whether they qualify for such
exclusion. I understand that to the extent this Agreement is required to be
construed in accordance with the laws of any state which precludes a requirement
in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made by an
employee, this paragraph 5 will be interpreted not to apply to any invention
which a court rules and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes. I also
hereby waive all claims to any moral rights or other special rights which I may
have or may accrue in any Company-Related Developments.

6.   DOCUMENTS AND OTHER MATERIALS. I will keep and maintain adequate and
current records of all Proprietary Information and Company-Related Developments
developed by me during my employment, which records will be available to and
remain the sole property of the Company at all times.

     All files, letters, notes, memoranda, reports, records, data, sketches,
drawings, notebooks, layouts, charts, quotations and proposals, specification
sheets, or other written, photographic or other tangible material containing
Proprietary Information, whether created by me or others, which come into my
custody or possession, are the exclusive property of the Company to be used by
me only in the performance of my duties for the Company. Any property situated
on the Company's premises and owned by the Company, including, without
limitation, computers, disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other
work areas, is subject to inspection by the Company at any time with or without
notice. In the event of the termination of my employment for any reason, I will
deliver to the Company all files, letters, notes, memoranda, reports, records,
data, sketches, drawings, notebooks, layouts, charts, quotations and proposals,
specification sheets, or other written, photographic or other tangible material
containing Proprietary Information, and other materials of any nature pertaining
to the Proprietary Information of the Company and to my work, and will not take
or keep in my possession any of the foregoing or any copies.

7.   ENFORCEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. I will cooperate fully with
the Company, at the Company's expense, both during and after my employment with
the Company, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of
Intellectual Property Rights in Company-Related Developments. I will sign all
papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent
applications, declarations, oaths, assignments of priority rights, and powers of
attorney, which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect
its rights and interests in any Company-Related Development. If the Company is
unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any such papers, I
hereby irrevocably designate and appoint each officer of the Company as my agent
and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on my behalf, and to take any
and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to
properly assign to the Company all rights and interests in any such
Company-Related Development.

8.   RESTRICTIONS ON ACTIVITIES. In order to protect the Company's Proprietary
Information, good will and client and employee relations, during my employment
and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of my
employment for any reason, I will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner,
partner, shareholder, director, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or
otherwise:

  -  engage, participate or invest in any business activity anywhere in New
     York, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Florida and Oklahoma, or any
     other state in the United States or Canada that develops or markets any
     products, or performs any services, that are competitive with the products
     or services of the Company, or products or services that the Company has
     under development or that are the subject of active planning at any time
     during my employment (a "Competitive Activity"); provided that this shall
     not prohibit any investment by me in publicly traded stock of a company
     representing less than five percent of the stock of such company; or

  -  other than for the benefit of the Company, call upon, solicit, or otherwise
     attempt to divert or take away any of the customers or prospective
     customers of the Company (or any persons or entities who were, within the
     two (2) year period preceding the termination of my employment, customers
     or prospective customers of the Company) in each case in furtherance,
     directly or indirectly, of a Competitive Activity.

In addition, during the period of my employment and for a period of twelve (12)
months following termination of my employment for any reason, I will not,
directly or indirectly, hire any employees of the Company (or any persons who,
during the period of my employment, were employed by the Company) or solicit,
entice or attempt to persuade any employee of the Company to leave the services
of the Company for any reason. I acknowledge that if I violate any of the
provisions of this paragraph 8, the running of the time period of prohibited
activities shall be suspended and the running of such time period shall not
resume until I have ceased engaging in any such violation or pattern of
violations.

                                        2

9.   PRIOR AGREEMENTS. I hereby represent that, except as I have fully disclosed
previously in writing to the Company, I am not bound by the terms of any
agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or
disclosing any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information in the
course of my employment with the Company or to refrain from competing, directly
or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party. I
further represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement as an
employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in
confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by me in
confidence or in trust prior to my employment with the Company. I will not
disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or
proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or
others.

10.  REMEDIES UPON BREACH. I understand that the restrictions contained in this
Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the
Company and I consider them to be reasonable for such purpose. I acknowledge
that, particularly in light of my position and access within the firm, any
violation of these restrictions will substantially harm the firm that I have
joined to help build. Any breach of this Agreement is likely to cause the
Company substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of such
breach, the Company, in addition to such other remedies which may be available
(including, without limitation and if applicable, the right to recover from me
any bonus monies previously paid to me that are subject to repayment to the
Company upon breach of this Agreement), will be entitled to specific performance
and other injunctive relief.

11.  USE OF VOICE, IMAGE AND LIKENESS. I give the Company permission to use my
voice, image or likeness, with or without using my name, for the purposes of
advertising and promoting the Company, or for other purposes deemed appropriate
by the Company in its reasonable discretion, except to the extent expressly
prohibited by law.

12.  PUBLICATIONS AND PUBLIC STATEMENTS. To ensure that the Company delivers a
consistent message about its products, services and operations to the public,
and further in recognition that even positive statements may have a detrimental
effect on the Company in certain securities transactions and other contexts, any
statement about the Company, or any material that relates to my work at the
Company and/or incorporates any Proprietary Information, that I seek to create,
publish or post during my period of employment, on any media accessible by the
public, including, but not limited to, electronic bulletin boards and
Internet-based chat rooms, shall be created, published or posted only in
accordance with policies and procedures established by the Company.

13.  NO EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATION. I understand that this Agreement does not create
an obligation on the Company or any other person to continue my employment. I
acknowledge that, unless otherwise agreed in a formal written employment
agreement signed on behalf of the Company by an authorized officer, my
employment with the Company is at will and therefore may be terminated by the
Company or me at any time and for any reason.

14.  SURVIVAL AND ASSIGNMENT BY THE COMPANY. I understand that all of my
obligations under this Agreement will continue in accordance with their express
terms regardless of any changes in my title, position, duties, salary,
compensation or benefits or other terms and conditions of employment. I further
understand that my obligations under this Agreement will continue following the
termination of my employment regardless of the manner of such termination and
will be binding upon my heirs, executors and administrators. The Company will
have the right to assign this Agreement to its affiliates, successors and
assigns. I expressly consent to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement for
the benefit of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate to whose
employ I may be transferred without the necessity that this Agreement be
resigned at the time of such transfer.

15.  EXIT INTERVIEW. If and when I depart from the Company, I may be required to
attend an exit interview and sign an "Employee Exit Acknowledgement" to reaffirm
my acceptance and acknowledgement of the obligations set forth in this
Agreement. For the twelve (12) month period following termination of my
employment, I will notify the Company of any change in my address and of each
subsequent employment or business activity, including the name and address of my
employer or other post-Company employment plans and the nature of my activities.

16.  DISCLOSURE TO FUTURE EMPLOYERS. During the twelve (12) month period
following termination of my employment, I will provide a copy of this Agreement
to any prospective employer, partner or coventurer prior to entering into an
employment, partnership or other business relationship with such person or
entity.

17.  SEVERABILITY. In case any provisions (or portions thereof) contained in
this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as
if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein. If, moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration,
geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and
reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the
applicable law as it shall then appear.

18.  INTERPRETATION. This Agreement will be deemed to be made and entered into
in the State of Connecticut, and will in all respects be interpreted, enforced
and governed under the laws of the State of Connecticut. I hereby agree to
consent to personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts situated within
Connecticut for purposes of enforcing this Agreement, and waive any objection
that I might have to personal jurisdiction or venue in those courts.

                                        3
