$250,000 per year ("Base Salary"), payable in accordance with the pay period
policy established by the Employer from time to time. Said base salary shall be

3.2 BONUSES. Within 90 days of the close of each calendar year (begin-
ning with calendar year 1994), the Company shall pay to the Employee a cash
bonus ("Cash Bonus") in such amount as
-4-

Base Salary. If at any time Employer decides to effect a company-wide bonus
reduction among employees at the Employee's level, reduction of Employee's Cash
Bonus under such company-wide bonus reduction shall take effect immediately for
that year and shall neither cause the termination of this Agreement nor
constitute an event of default by the Employer. This Cash Bonus will be broken
down in the following manner:
(a) 40% for her division's facilities exceeding the
aggregate budget target for all facilities in her
division.
(b) 40% for the development of profitable new business

remain subject to the financial and vesting terms and conditions upon which they
were issued.
(b) As additional compensation for the performance by
the Employee of her services hereunder, the Company shall recommend to the Board
of Directors that, as soon as is reasonably practicable following the effective
date of this Agreement and upon the approval by the Board of Directors, the
Employee be granted an employee nonqualified option to purchase 25,000 shares of
common stock, which option shall vest according to the Company's standard
schedule for vesting over a period of six (6) years. The price per share for
purposes of this Section 3.3(b) shall be the price on the date on which the

terminated by the Company without cause or the Employee terminates this
Agreement according to Section 3.4(e)(i) (i.e. upon a material dimunition in the
Employee's authority and/or duties), the unvested portion of stock option
granted under this Section 3.3(b) shall continue to vest according to the
Company's standard schedule. In the event of a Change of Control, the unvested
portion of stock option granted under this Section 3.3(b) shall vest

3.4 SEVERANCE PAY. (a) In the event Employer chooses to terminate this
Agreement without cause prior to the Agreement's natural expiration date and so
notifies the Employee, then Employer shall pay to Employee non-competition
severance pay of one-twelfth (1/12) of Employee's annual salary on a monthly
basis ("Noncompetition Severance Pay") for a minimum of twenty-four (24) months
or the amount of time remaining until this Agreement's natural expiration,
whichever is less, but in no event shall the Employee receive less than 6 months
of Noncompetition Severance Pay,
-6-
provided, however, that Employee shall be bound by the non-competition
restrictions of Paragraph 4.4 for as long as Employee is receiving such
Noncompetition Severance Pay. The benefits provided for under Paragraph 3.3,
above, shall continue to be applicable during any period of salary continuation
under this Paragraph 3.4.
(b) In the event this Agreement terminates at its natural expiration
date and Employer elects to enforce and bind Employee to the noncompetition
restrictions of Paragraph 4.4 below, then Employer shall pay to Employee
Noncompetition Severance Pay for each month of restriction for a period of time
which is no later than twenty-four (24) months from the Agreement's natural

Employee one-half of the Noncompetition Severance Pay for the period during
which the non-competition restrictions of Paragraph 4.4 shall apply, up to a
period of nine (9) months. Employer may extend the nine-month restriction period
of Paragraph 4.4 by paying to the Employee the full Noncompetition Severance Pay
for each month of restriction after the initial nine-month restriction period,
up to a maximum of three (3) additional months, which time period shall be at
Employer's election. The benefits provided for under Paragraph 3.3, above, shall
not continue to be applicable during such restriction period.
(d) In the event Employee terminates this Agreement, other than for
Good Reason as defined below, prior to the Agreement's natural expiration date,
then Employee shall not be entitled to any Noncompetition Severance Pay,
provided, however, that Employee shall be bound by the non-
-7-
competition restrictions of Paragraph 4.4 for a period of nine (9) calendar
months following the date of termination of the Employee's employment hereunder.
(e) In the event Employee terminates this Agreement for Good Reason
prior to the Agreement's natural expiration date, the Company shall bind the
Employee to the non-competition restrictions of Section 4.4 for a period of
twelve (12) months following the termination of the Employee's employment
hereunder, provided, however, that Company shall then pay the Employee full
Noncompetition Severance Pay for each month that the Employee is bound by the
non-competition restrictions of Section 4.4. Good Reason is defined as either
(i) a material dimunition in the Employee's authority and/or duties or (ii) a
Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall
be deemed to occur if (i) there shall be consummated (x) any consolidation,
reorganization or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the
continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company's
common stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other
than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company's common stock
immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common
stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, or (y) any
sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of
related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the
Company, or (ii) the stockholders of the Company shall approve any plan or
proposal for liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) any person (as
such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, including

Executive or any group controlled by the Executive)) shall become the beneficial
owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of twenty
percent (20%) or more of the Company's outstanding common stock (other

or ownership of the Company in any filing with the Securities and Exchange

failure by the Employer to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other

days of the receipt of written notice of said condition from the Employee) shall
not be a defense to enforcement of the covenants contained in Article IV,
including
-13-
but not limited to a temporary or permanent injunction. The Employee
acknowledges that damages in the event of Employee's breach of this Article IV
will be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain and it is therefore agreed

right it may have, shall have the right to an injunction enjoining the said
breach.
