seeking and negotiating the terms of an acceptable  acquisition  transaction for
the  Company.  Marsik has also agreed to be  responsible  for,  and to pay,  the
Company's outstanding and ongoing expenses and liabilities which the Company may
incur  from time to time in  connection  with  preparing  and  filing  necessary

$9,793 at June 30, 1999 and all other liabilities and obligations of the Company
which shall be incurred  during the term of this Agreement and which the Company
shall be unable to satisfy  from other  sources.  Marsik  agrees to pay all such
amounts to or on behalf of the Company as an additional capital  contribution to
the Company.

     3. At such time as an  acquisition  transaction  which has been approved by
the  Board of  Directors  of the  Company  and  which is  deemed by the Board of

               of any offense, regardless of classification, related to the
               Employee's duties and responsibilities to Decorator), (ii) the
               grossly negligent performance by the Employee of the duties of
               the Employee to Decorator if such grossly negligent performance
               is determined by the Board to have had or to be reasonably likely
               to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets,
               prospects or financial condition of Decorator, (iii) the
               conviction of the Employee by a court of competent jurisdiction
               of a felony; or (iv) breach by the Employee of any part of
               Section 6 hereof.

Upon any such termination, there shall be paid to Employee or his estate shall
be paid an amount equal to any base salary earned but not paid plus an amount
for accrued but unused vacation, if any,

                                       3

<PAGE>

business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination in accordance with
Section 4B.

            F. The Employee's employment hereunder may be terminated without
               cause by Decorator upon written notice to the Employee at any
               time. In such event, Decorator will provide the Employee with the
               following benefits, in lieu of (and not in addition to) payment
               of any other amounts for severance benefits or otherwise from
               Decorator:

               (i)   If such termination occurs pursuant to this Subsection F or
                     Subsection 5B during the first year of Employee's
                     employment, the base compensation and benefits for six (6)
                     months, or upon termination thereafter without cause or
                     pursuant to Subsection B, base compensation and benefits
                     for 12 months;

               (ii)  Decorator will pay the Employee for accrued but unused
                     vacation, if any.

               (iii) Decorator shall pay Employee for unreimbursed business
                     expenses incurred prior to the date of termination.

         6. Decorator has invested and will continue to invest considerable
resources in the acquisition and development of its business and in the
acquisition, development and design of its products, which investment has or
will result in the generation of proprietary, confidential and/or trade secret
data, information, techniques and materials, both tangible and intangible,
referred to as Confidential Information. It would be unlawful for the Employee
to appropriate, to attempt to appropriate, or to disclose to anyone during the
term of employment and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, the
Confidential Information.

            The Employee covenants and agrees with Decorator that he personally,
or in association with others, will not establish or engage, directly or
indirectly, as owner, partner, shareholder, employee or as a lessor or lessee,
or as a creditor, in any business similar to the business of Decorator for the
term of this Agreement and for the period of two (2) years after any termination
of this Agreement in any state in which Decorator has manufacturing plants or
customers.

            Employee further covenants and agrees that during the term of this
Agreement and for the period of two (2) years after the expiration of the term,
he will not, directly or indirectly, by himself or in association with others,
transfer or attempt to transfer, hire or solicit for hire, or knowingly cause
others to hire any existing or future employee or agents of Decorator, or
entice, induce or attempt to entice or induce any of such employees or agents to
leave such employ, or solicit the business of current customers or customers
currently being solicited.

            In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should any
duration or geographical restriction on business activities covered under this
Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement be found by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be less than fully enforceable due to its breadth of
restrictiveness or otherwise, the Employee and Decorator intend that such court

                                       4

<PAGE>

will enforce this Agreement to the full extent the court may find permissible by
construing such provisions to cover only that duration, extent or activity which
may be enforceable. The Employee and Decorator acknowledge the uncertainty of
the law in this respect and intend that this Agreement will be given the
construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum
extent permitted by law.

            The covenants made in, and the rights conveyed by, this Agreement
are of a unique and special nature. Any violation of this Agreement by the
Employee will result in immediate and irreparable harm to Decorator. In such
event, Decorator shall be entitled to an injunction or a decree of specific
performance from a court of equity in addition to other rights or remedies which
Decorator may have at law or in equity. The Employee hereby waives the right to
assert the defense that any such breach or violation can be adequately
compensated in damages in an action at law.

         7. The covenants, provisions and sections of this Agreement are
severable, and in the event that any portion of this Agreement is held to be
unlawful or unenforceable, the same will not affect any other portion of this
Agreement, and the remaining terms and conditions or portions thereof will
remain in full force and effect. This Agreement will be construed in such case
as if such unlawful or unenforceable portion had never been contained in this
Agreement, in order to effectuate the intentions of Decorator and the Employee
in executing this Agreement.

         8. The failure of either Decorator or the Employee to object to any
conduct or violation of any of the covenants made by the other under this
Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies. No waiver of
any right or remedy arising under this Agreement will be valid unless set forth
in an appropriate writing signed by both Decorator and the Employee. This
Agreement shall not give the Employee any right to be employed for any specific
time or to limit Decorator's right to terminate the Employee's employment at any
time, with or without cause, in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

         9. This Agreement is binding upon Decorator and the Employee and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. The
obligations of this Agreement will survive the termination of employment. The
services to be rendered by the Employee to Decorator under this Agreement are
personal in nature and, therefore, the Employee may not assign or delegate the
Employee's rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of Decorator. Decorator may assign its rights under this
Agreement or delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement to any
corporation acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of Decorator or to
any other corporation into which Decorator may be liquidated, merged or
consolidated.

         10. This Agreement will governed by and construed in accordance with
the internal laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to the choice of
laws principles thereof. The Employee acknowledges the jurisdiction of the State
and Federal Courts located in Fort Lauderdale/Florida.

that cannot be amicably settled shall be determined by arbitration as follows:
On twenty (20) days written notice by either party to the other, such claim
shall be submitted to binding and final arbitration in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

                                       5

each of the opposing parties and said arbitrators to select a third arbitrator.
All costs and expenses of the arbitration including all actual attorneys' fees
and out-of-pocket expenses, shall be the sole liability of the non-prevailing
party or, if the arbitrators find in part for more than one party, all costs and
expenses shall be allocated in accordance with the arbitrators' decision. Such
arbitrators in their sole discretion shall determine the appropriate remedies,
including without limitation, damages and equitable remedies which determination
shall be final and binding and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

         12. No alterations, amendments, changes or additions to this Agreement
will be binding upon either Decorator or the Employee unless reduced to writing
and signed by both Decorator and the Employee.
