termination as provided in Paragraph 7, below. The Term may be extended by
further written agreement between Sames and Consultant.

         6. OPTIONS. On April 25, 2000, Arnold H. Dratt shall be granted 3,000

         8. TERMINATION. Either Sames or Consultant may terminate the Term and
this Agreement upon seven (7) days' advance written notice to the other;
provided, however that this Agreement may be terminated immediately by Sames for
"cause" (as defined below). Upon termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall
be entitled to compensation pursuant to Paragraph 3 for services actually
rendered to Sames through the date of termination, and Consultant shall be
relieved of any obligation hereunder to render further services to Sames. Except
as set forth below, no further payments shall be made or owed by Sames to
Consultant under this Agreement, other than properly incurred, unreimbursed
expenses; provided, however, that Consultant's rights with respect to
indemnification protection shall be determined pursuant to Paragraph 8 below. In
the event such termination occurs (a) prior to a Change of Control (as defined
in Paragraph 14 below) and (b) is by Sames for reasons other than "cause" (as

Arnold H. Dratt, or the willful or continued failure by any Consultant
Personnel, including Arnold H. Dratt (other than by reason of disability), to
substantially perform the duties and services contemplated by this Agreement,
which in either case has a material adverse effect on Sames, or (D) the willful
fraud or material dishonesty of any Consultant Personnel, including Arnold H.
Dratt, in connection with the performance of duties and services for Sames. This
Agreement shall not be deemed terminated for "cause" unless and until Consultant
receives a copy of a resolution adopted by the Board finding, in the good faith
opinion of the Board, Consultant Personnel is guilty of acts or omissions
constituting cause, which resolution has been duly adopted by an affirmative
vote of the majority of

material breach by Sames of its obligations hereunder, which failure or breach

thereof from Consultant, (y) the removal of Arnold H. Dratt from the position of
President and Chief Executive Officer of Sames, Chairman of the Board or as a
director thereof (other than in conjunction with the termination of this
Agreement for cause), or (z) the relocation of Sames' headquarters outside the
metropolitan Chicago area, such that Consultant Personnel will be required to
relocate in order to perform services hereunder.
