         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements

hereinafter set forth, the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows:



         1. Employment and Duties. The Company hereby agrees to employ Employee

as Vice Chairman of the Board, and Employee hereby accepts such employment and

agrees to serve the Company in such capacity on the terms and subject to the

conditions set forth in this Agreement. Subject to the ultimate direction and

control of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company

and to the Company's Board of Directors, Employee shall be responsible to assist

the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company with the

determination and implementation of the strategic direction of the Company and

oversee the implementation of the business plan of the Company and, in

connection therewith, to interact with and provide guidance to the other

executive officers of the Company. During his employment hereunder, Employee

shall devote his full business time, energy, and ability principally to the

business and interests of the Company and shall not, without the Company's prior

written consent, render to others services of any kind for compensation, or

engage in any other business activity that would materially interfere with the

performance of his duties under this Agreement.



         2. Compensation and Benefits of Employment.



                  (a) As compensation for the services to be rendered by

Employee hereunder, the Company shall pay to Employee a base annual salary

("Annual Salary") of $560,000 per year, in equal installments in accordance with

the customary payroll practices of the Company. The parties shall comply with

all applicable withholding requirements in connection with all compensation

payable to Employee. The Company's Board of Directors may, in its sole

discretion, review and adjust upward Employee's Base Salary (as defined below)

from time to time, but no downward adjustment in Employee's Base Salary may be

made during the term of this Agreement.



                  (b) Employee shall receive annually a stipulated amount of up

to $40,000 ("Discretionary Amount" and together with Annual Salary, collectively

referred to herein as "Base Salary") which will be expended by the Company on

behalf of Employee to cover, or paid to Employee to reimburse Employee for,

various business-related expenses such as monthly dues for country, luncheon or

social clubs, automobile expenses, upgraded travel beyond that of the Company's

regular employee policy and other personal travel expenses not covered by

Section 3 hereof and financial and tax planning expenses. The Company agrees

that Employee shall be

entitled to reimbursement of all such business-related expenses incurred by

Employee; provided, however, that payment of such reimbursement shall be made

only against proper receipts or other documentary evidence of such expenses. In

the event that less than $40,000 is expended during the course of any one-year

period, Employee shall not be entitled to receive directly the remainder of such

amount. This reimbursement shall be in addition to any reimbursement provided

pursuant to Section 3 below.
