--------
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").
-------
RECITALS
Employee has served as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer
since April 1995 and has served in various officer positions with the Company
since 1992. The Company's Board of Directors believes it is in the best
interests of the Company to retain Employee and incentivize Employee to continue
in the service of the Company. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the
Company and Employee agree to enter into this Employment Agreement.
Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and
agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof
-----------------
and shall have a term of two (2) (the "Original Term"). This Agreement may be
-------------
extended for an additional one (1) year beyond the end of the Original Term if
the parties hereto mutually agree in writing to such extension. Subject to the
Company's severance payment obligations set forth in Section 5 below, this
Agreement may be terminated by either party, with or without cause, on thirty
(30) days' written notice to the other party.
2. Duties.
------
(a) Position. Employee shall be employed as President and Chief
--------
Executive Officer, and as such will have responsibility for the overall
operation of the Company and will report to the Company's Board of Directors
(the "Board").
-----
(b) Obligations to the Company. Employee agrees to the best of his
--------------------------
ability and experience that he will at all times loyally and conscientiously
perform all of the duties and obligations required of and from Employee pursuant
to the express and implicit terms hereof, and to the reasonable satisfaction of
the Company. During the term of Employee's employment relationship with the
Company, Employee further agrees that he will devote all of his business time
and attention to the business of the Company, the Company will be entitled to
all of the benefits and profits arising from or incident to all such work
services and advice, Employee will not render commercial or professional
services of any nature to any person or organization, whether or not for
compensation, without the prior written consent of the Company's Board of
Directors, and Employee will not directly or indirectly engage or participate in
any business that is competitive in any manner with the business of the Company.
Nothing in this Agreement will prevent Employee from accepting speaking or
presentation engagements in exchange for
-1-
honoraria or from serving on boards of charitable organizations, or from owning
no more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding equity securities of a
corporation whose stock is listed on a national stock exchange. Employee will
comply with and be bound by the Company's operating policies, procedures and
practices from time to time in effect during the term of Employee's employment.
3. At-Will Employment. The Company and Employee acknowledge that
------------------
Employee's employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under
applicable law, and that Employee's employment with the Company may be
terminated by either party at any time for any or no reason. If Employee's
employment terminates for any reason, Employee shall not be entitled to any
payments, benefits, damages, award or compensation other than as provided in
this Agreement. The rights and duties created by this Section 3 may not be
modified in any way except by a written agreement executed by the Board.
4. Compensation. For the duties and services to be performed by
------------
Employee hereunder, the Company shall pay Employee, and Employee agrees to
accept, the salary, stock options, bonuses and other benefits described below in
this Section 4.
(a) Salary. Employee shall receive an annual salary of $215,000 per
------
year. Employee's salary will be payable pursuant to the Company's normal payroll
practices. In the event this Agreement is extended beyond the Original Term, the
then current base salary shall be reviewed at the time of such extension by the
Board or its Compensation Committee, and any increase will be effective as of
the date determined appropriate by the Board or its Compensation Committee.
Employee's salary shall be reviewed on at least an annual basis for possible
adjustment.
(b) Stock Options and Other Incentive Programs. Employee shall be
------------------------------------------
eligible to participate in any stock option or other incentive programs
available to officers or employees of the Company.
(c) Bonuses. Employee's entitlement to incentive bonuses from the
-------
Company is discretionary and shall be determined by the Board or its
Compensation Committee in good faith based upon the extent to which Employee's
individual performance objectives and the Company's profitability objectives and
other financial and nonfinancial objectives are achieved during the applicable
bonus period. In the event of Employee's death or disability during the term of
this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Employee or Employee's estate the bonus
Employee would have earned during the entire year in which death or disability
occurred.
(d) Additional Benefits. Employee will be eligible to participate in
-------------------
the Company's employee benefit plans of general application, including without

leave in accordance with the policies in effect during the term of this
Agreement and will receive such other benefits as the Company generally provides
to its other employees of comparable position and experience.
-2-
(e) Reimbursement of Expenses. Employee shall be authorized to incur
-------------------------
on behalf and for the benefit of, and shall be reimbursed by, the Company for
reasonable expenses, provided that such expenses are substantiated in accordance

---------
Period according to the Company's standard payroll schedule and invoices

termination of any bonus payable under Section 4(c). Employee shall also be
entitled to continue to participate during the Consulting Period in all of the
Company's health insurance benefits (e.g. medical, dental, optical, mental
health, life) in the same manner and with the same coverage provided to Employee
prior to the date of termination and in all other respects significantly
comparable to those in place immediately prior to such termination. Any unvested
stock options held by Employee as of the date of Employee's termination of
employment shall continue to vest through the end of the Consulting Period
according to the vesting schedule set forth in any agreement between Employee
and the Company governing the issuance to Employee of such securities.
(iii) Involuntary Termination Post Change of Control. If Employee's
----------------------------------------------
employment is terminated after a Change of Control (as defined below) has
occurred for any reason (including a Constructive Termination (as defined
below)) other than by reason of Employee's Voluntary Termination and other than
by reason of a Termination for Cause (an "Involuntary Termination"), Employee
-----------------------
(A) will be paid a lump sum payment on the date of termination equal to twelve

interest owed to the Company by Employee pursuant to the Loan shall be forgiven

Agreement between Employee and the Company substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A. Such consulting payments shall be made ratably over the
---------
Consulting Period according to the Company's standard payroll schedule and

be entitled to receive payment on the date of termination of any bonus payable
under Section 4(c). Employee shall also be entitled to continue to participate
during the Consulting Period in all of the Company's health insurance benefits
(e.g. medical, dental, optical, mental health, life) in the same manner and with
the same coverage provided to Employee prior to the date of termination and in
all other respects significantly comparable to those in place immediately prior
to such termination. Any unvested stock options held by Employee as of the date
of Employee's termination of employment shall continue to vest through the end
of the Consulting Period according to the vesting schedule set forth in any
agreement between Employee and the Company governing the issuance to Employee of
such securities.
(iv) Involuntary Termination Pre Change of Control. If Employee's
---------------------------------------------
employment is terminated before a Change of Control has occurred for any reason
(including a Constructive Termination) other than by reason of Employee's
Voluntary Termination and other than by reason of a Termination for Cause,
Employee (A) will be paid a lump sum payment on the date of termination equal to
twelve (12) months of Employee's then current base salary, (B) the principal and
interest owed to the Company by Employee pursuant to the Loan shall be forgiven
and the promissory note evidencing the Loan shall be canceled and (C) Employee
shall be retained as a consultant by the Company and receive consulting fees
equal to $6,000 per month (up to an aggregate of $108,000 (the Aggregate

-4-
services performed for a period of time equal to eighteen (18) months (the

-----------------
shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis for each dollar Employee receives
during the Consulting Period from other employment and/or consulting sources in
excess of an aggregate of $214,500. To the extent Employee secures other
employment or consulting work during the Consulting Period that pays Employee
cash compensation in excess of an aggregate of $322,500, and as a result,
Employee's consulting fees from the Company are reduced to zero, Employee and
the Company shall either mutually agree to terminate Employee's consulting
relationship or negotiate an alternative consulting arrangement. During the
Consulting Period, Employee shall perform such services for the Company as may
be reasonably requested from time to time by the Board or the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. The terms of the consulting arrangement shall be more
fully described in the Consulting Agreement between Employee and the Company
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such consulting payments
---------
shall be made ratably over the Consulting Period according to the Company's
standard payroll schedule and invoices submitted by Employee for the consulting
services. Employee will also be entitled to receive payment on the date of
termination of any bonus payable under Section 4(c). Employee shall also be
entitled to continue to participate during the Consulting Period in all of the
Company's health insurance benefits (e.g. medical, dental, optical, mental
health, life) in the same manner and with the same coverage provided to Employee
prior to the date of termination and in all other respects significantly
comparable to those in place immediately prior to such termination. Any unvested
stock options held by Employee as of the date of Employee's termination of
employment shall continue to vest through the end of the Consulting Period
according to the vesting schedule set forth in any agreement between Employee
and the Company governing the issuance to Employee of such securities.
(v) Termination for Cause. If Employee's employment is
---------------------
terminated for Cause, then Employee shall not be entitled to receive payment of
any severance benefits. Employee will receive payment(s) for all salary and
unpaid vacation accrued as of the date of Employee's termination of employment
and Employee's benefits will be continued under the Company's then existing
benefit plans and policies in accordance with such plans and policies in effect
on the date of termination and in accordance with applicable law. In addition,

shall be forgiven and the promissory note evidencing the Loan shall be canceled.

------------------------
there is a material adverse change in Employee's position causing such position
to be of less stature or of less responsibility than President and Chief
Executive Officer, (2) a reduction of more than 10% of Employee's base
compensation unless in connection with similar decreases of other similarly
situated employees of the Company, or (3) Employee's refusal to relocate to a
facility or location more than fifty (50) miles from the Company's current

otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company's business and/or assets
shall assume the obligations under this Agreement and agrees expressly to
perform the obligations under this Agreement and the Consulting Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to

such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a
mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such
provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the
Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii)
