EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         Aryeh Trabelsi. Effective February 15, 1997, the Company entered into
an employment agreement with Aryeh Trabelsi, to hold the positions of President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for an initial term of two years and
thereafter terminable by either the Company or Mr. Trabelsi on 90 days notice.
Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Trabelsi's employment agreement, and during its
effective period, Mr. Trabelsi was entitled to receive (i) an annual base salary
of $154,216 or such higher amount as the Company's Board of Directors may
determine from time to time, (ii) an annual cash bonus based on the Company's
net income before taxes, excluding any gains from the sale of securities, and
(iii) an annual cash bonus based on the Company's achievement of specific levels
of net income before taxes excluding capital gains.

         Mr. Trabelsi was granted a stock option to purchase up to 171,000
shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price equal to the Offering Price
to vest in four equal annual installments beginning on June 17, 1999. On March
17, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved the immediate and full
vesting of his stock option to purchase 171,000 shares of Common Stock.

         Mr. Trabelsi's employment agreement may be terminated by the Company
for cause, which is defined as the material breach of the employment agreement
by Mr. Trabelsi or if Mr. Trabelsi commits a material act of dishonesty or a
material breach of trust or a fiduciary obligation with respect to the Company.
The employment agreement may be terminated by Mr. Trabelsi for good reason,
which includes, among other things, a material breach of the employment
agreement by the Company, the demotion or removal of Mr. Trabelsi, a material
diminishment of Mr. Trabelsi's responsibilities, a reduction in base salary, the
relocation of Mr. Trabelsi's primary place of employment by more than 100 miles
(other than a relocation to Israel after December 1998) without his consent or
any failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of the agreement by any
successor or assign of the Company.

         Under the employment agreement, Mr. Trabelsi is subject to certain
non-disclosure, non-solicitation and non-competitive covenants. The employment
agreement provides that during the period of non-competition and
non-solicitation, Mr. Trabelsi will receive his base salary reduced by up to
one-half of any salary received by Mr. Trabelsi from another employer during the
period of non-competition or non-solicitation.

         On September 3, 1998, 90 days prior to effective date thereof, Mr.
Trabelsi delivered to the Company written notice of the termination of his
employment agreement for good reason. Mr. Trabelsi remained on the Board of
Directors to assist the Company's management in its search for a new Chief
Executive Officer until his resignation therefrom on November 3, 1998. Although
Mr. Trabelsi stepped down from the positions of Chief Executive Officer and
President, Mr. Trabelsi continued as an employee of the Company until the
effective date of the termination of his employment agreement on December 3,
1998.

         Michael Hart. Effective May 2, 1998, the Company entered into an
employment agreement with Michael Hart, the Executive Vice President of the
Company's EMC Division, for an initial term of one year and thereafter
terminable by either the Company or Mr. Hart on 360 days notice within the first
year, 180 days in the second year and 90 days thereafter. Pursuant to the terms
of Mr. Hart's employment agreement, Mr. Hart is entitled to receive an annual
base salary of $120,000 or such higher amount as the Company's Board of
Directors may determine from time to time.

<PAGE>   9
         Mr. Hart's employment agreement may be terminated by the Company for
cause, which is defined as the material breach of the employment agreement by
Mr. Hart or if Mr. Hart commits a material act of dishonesty or a material
breach of trust or a fiduciary obligation with respect to the Company. The
employment agreement may be terminated by Mr. Hart immediately upon notice for
cause which is defined as a reduction in salary or a material breach of the
agreement which employer has failed to cure after ten days written notice
thereof. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Hart is subject to certain
non-disclosure, non-solicitation and non-competitive covenants.


1997 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

         On March 17, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted and the Company's
stockholder approved the Company's 1997 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive
Plan"). The purposes of the Incentive Plan are to attract and retain key
employees and certain other persons who are in a position to make significant
contributions to the success of the Company, to reward these employees and other
persons for their contributions, to provide additional incentive to these
employees and other persons to continue making similar contributions and to
further align the interests of these employees and other persons with those of
the Company's stockholders. To achieve these purposes, the Incentive Plan
permits grants of incentive stock options ("ISOs"), options not intended to
qualify as incentive stock options ("Non-ISOs"), stock appreciation rights
("SARs"), restricted and unrestricted stock awards, performance awards, loans
and supplemental cash awards and combinations of the foregoing (all referred to
as "Awards").

         The Incentive Plan permits Awards to be granted for a total of 800,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock. Shares issuable under Awards that
terminate unexercised, shares issuable under Awards that are payable in stock or
cash but are paid in cash and shares issued but later forfeited will be
available for future Awards under the Incentive Plan.

         All current and future employees of the Company, and other persons who,
in the opinion of the Board of Directors, are in a position to make significant
contributions to the success of the Company, such as consultants and non-
employee directors, are eligible to receive Awards under the Incentive Plan.

         The Incentive Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, which
determines, among other things and subject to certain conditions, the persons
eligible to receive Awards, the persons who actually receive Awards, the type of
each Award, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Award, the date
of grant, exercise schedule, vesting schedule and other terms and conditions of
each Award, whether to accelerate the exercise or vesting schedule or waive any
other terms or conditions of each Award, whether to amend or cancel an Award and
the form of any instrument used under the Incentive Plan. The Board of Directors
has the right to adopt rules for the administration of the Incentive Plan,
settle all controversies regarding the Incentive Plan or any Award, and construe
and correct defects and omissions in the Incentive Plan or any Award. The
Incentive Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Board of
Directors, subject to certain conditions, provided that stockholder approval
will be required whenever necessary for the Incentive Plan to continue to
satisfy the requirements of certain securities and tax laws, rules and
regulations.

         Recipients of stock options under the Incentive Plan will have the
right to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price, during a period
of time and on such other terms and conditions as are determined by the Board of
Directors. For ISOs, the recipient must be an employee, the exercise price must
be at least 100% (110% if issued to a 10% or greater stockholder of the Company)
of the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant and
the term cannot exceed ten years (five years if issued to a 10% or greater
stockholder of the Company) from date of grant. If permitted by the Board of
Directors and subject to certain conditions, an option exercise price may be
paid by delivery of shares of the Company's Common Stock that have been
outstanding, a promissory note, a broker's undertaking to promptly deliver the
necessary funds or by a combination of those methods. If permitted by the Board
of Directors, options (other than those granted in tandem with SARs) may be
settled by the Company, paying to the recipient, in cash or shares of Common
Stock (valued at the then fair market value of the Company's Common Stock), an
amount equal to such fair market value minus the exercise price of the option
shares.

         SARs may be granted under the Incentive Plan either alone or in tandem
with stock options. Generally, recipients of SARs are entitled to receive, upon
exercise, cash or shares of Common Stock (valued at the then fair 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10
market value of the Company's Common Stock) equal to such fair market value on
the date of exercise minus such fair market value on the date of grant of the
shares subject to the SAR, although certain other measurements also may be used.
A SAR granted in tandem with a stock option is exercisable only if and to the
extent that the option is exercised.

         The Incentive Plan provides for restricted and unrestricted stock
awards. Stock awards allow the recipient to acquire shares of the Company's
Common Stock for their par value or any higher price determined by the Board of
Directors. In the case of restricted stock awards, the shares acquired are
subject to a vesting schedule and other possible conditions determined by the
Board of Directors.

         The Incentive Plan provides for performance awards entitling the
recipient to receive stock options, stock awards or other types of Awards
conditional upon achieving performance goals determined by the Board of
Directors. Performance goals may involve overall corporate performance,
operating group or business unit performance, personal performance or any other
category of performance determined by the Board of Directors. Financial
performance may be measured by revenue, operating income, net income, earnings
per share, Common Stock price, price-earnings multiple or other financial
factors determined by the Board of Directors.

         Under the Incentive Plan, loans or supplemental cash awards may be
granted to recipients of Awards to help defray taxes due as a result of the
Awards. The terms and conditions of loans and supplemental cash awards,
including the interest rate, which may be zero, and whether any loan will be
forgiven, are determined by the Board of Directors.

         Generally, upon termination of a recipient's employment or other
relationship with the Company, stock options and SARs remain exercisable for a
period of three months (one year if termination is due to death or disability)
to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of termination, except as
otherwise agreed between the employee and the Company, unvested shares under
outstanding restricted stock awards vest immediately except in the case of a
voluntary resignation or termination for cause (as defined in the Incentive
Plan). Stock options, SARs and other Awards that are not exercisable at the time
of termination automatically terminate, and payments or benefits under deferred
stock awards, performance awards and supplemental cash awards that are not
irrevocably due at the time of termination are forfeited.

         In response to a sharp decline in the Company's share price and as a
long-term incentive to its employees, the Company repriced all options
outstanding on October 23, 1998 to $3 per share. The new option price of $3
exceeded the current market price of the underlying shares at the time of
repricing.
