&#147;Executive&#148;) is entered into on July&nbsp;1, 1999 (the
&#147;Commencement Date&#148;).

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
1.&nbsp; <U>Employment</U>.&nbsp; The Company will continue to
employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts such
continued employment, on the terms and conditions set forth
herein.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
2.&nbsp; <U>Term</U>.&nbsp; The term of this Agreement (the
&#147;Term&#148;) will commence as of the Commencement Date and,
subject to Section&nbsp;8, will expire on the day before the
fourth anniversary of the Commencement Date; provided, however,
that commencing on the fourth anniversary of the Commencement
Date and each anniversary thereafter the Term will automatically
be extended for successive one-year periods unless either party
gives written notice to the other, not less than 90 calendar days
 prior to the otherwise scheduled expiration of the Term, that it
 or he does not want the Term to so extend.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
3.&nbsp; <U>Title, Duties, Responsibilities and Authority of the
Executive</U>.&nbsp; During the Term, and in accordance with the
Company&#146;s Bylaws, the Executive will be the Chief Financial
Officer of the Company and will have such duties and
responsibilities as may from time to time be assigned to him by
the Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;), the Chief
Executive Officer or the Chief Operating Officer of the Company
consistent with such position. Subject to Section&nbsp;8, neither
 the Executive&#146;s title nor the scope of the Executive&#146;s
 duties, responsibilities or authority may be reduced at any time
 during the Term. The Executive also will serve, without
additional compensation, as an officer or director, or both, of
any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or any other entity in
 which the Company has an equity interest if elected to any such
position in accordance with the constituent documents of and laws
 applicable to such entity, provided, however, that the Company
will indemnify the Executive from liabilities in connection with
serving in any such capacity to the same extent as the Executive
is indemnified in the performance of his duties with the Company.
 The Executive will devote substantially all of his time during
normal business hours and his best efforts, full attention and
energies to the business and affairs of the Company (excluding
reasonable amounts of time devoted to charitable purposes,
passive investments and directorships and periods in which he is
physically or mentally ill, injured or otherwise disabled).

	&#147;parachute payments&#148; (as that term is defined in
	section&nbsp;280G of the Code or any successor provision thereto)
	 from the Company, would exceed an amount (the &#147;299%
	Amount&#148;) equal to 299% of the Executive&#146;s &#147;base
	amount&#148; (as that term is defined in Section&nbsp;280G of the
	 Code (without regard to Section&nbsp;280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) thereof)
	or any successor provision thereto), the amounts and benefits
	payable under this Agreement will be reduced to the minimum
	extent necessary so that the aggregate present value determined
	in the previous clause does not exceed the 299%&nbsp;Amount;
	provided, however, that the foregoing reduction will be made only
	 if and to the extent that such reduction would result in an
	increase in the aggregate amounts and benefits to be provided,
	determined on an after-tax basis (taking into account the excise
	tax imposed pursuant to Section&nbsp;4999 of the Code, or any
	successor provision thereto, any tax imposed by any comparable
	provision of state law, and any applicable federal, state and
	local income taxes). The determination of whether any reduction

	otherwise is required pursuant to the preceding sentence will be
	made, if requested by the Executive or the Company, by such tax
	counsel as may be selected by the Company&#146;s independent
	accountants and reasonably acceptable to the Executive. The fact
	that the Executive has his right to payments under this Agreement
	 reduced as a result of the existence of the limitations
	contained in this Section&nbsp;8(h) will not of itself limit or

party to this Agreement acknowledges that, except as aforesaid,

acting on behalf of any party, pertaining to the subject matter
hereof, which are not embodied herein, and that no other

Company (including a successor to the Company in a Change of
Control transaction), including without limitation any persons
acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the
business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor

purposes of this Agreement), but will not otherwise be
assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company and
(ii)&nbsp;the Executive&#146;s personal or legal representatives,
 executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and
legatees. This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the
 parties hereto may, without the consent of the other, assign,
transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder except as expressly provided herein. Without limiting
the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Executive&#146;s
right to receive payments hereunder will not be assignable,
transferable or delegable, whether by pledge, creation of a

contrary to this Section&nbsp;12, the Company will have no
liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned,

17.&nbsp; <U>Miscellaneous</U>.&nbsp; No provision of this
Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such
waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed
by the Executive and the Company. No waiver by either party
hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or
compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to
be performed by such other party will be deemed a waiver of
similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at
any prior or subsequent time. Unless otherwise noted, references
