WHEREAS, the Employee was retained by the Company to serve as a
director in December, 1997;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Employee and
Employee desires to continue to be employed by the Company for a period of time
in the future upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
obligations contained herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, agree as follows:
1. Employment and Term. The Company hereby employs and continues to
-------------------
employ Employee and Employee hereby accepts employment with the Company, as (i)
Chairman and (ii) Acting Chief Executive Officer, provided however, at any time
during the Term (as defined below), upon the prior written consent of the
Employee, the Company may hire another individual to serve as the Permanent
Chief Executive Officer and the Employee shall no longer serve as the Acting
Chief Executive Officer but shall continue to serve as Chairman in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (the "Position"). The term of
this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue until April
1, 2002, subject to early termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 9
hereof (the "Initial Term") and as may be extended from time to time by mutual
consent of Employer and Employee. The Initial Term of employment and any renewal
periods hereunder, subject to the provisions of Section 9 hereof, are

2. Duties. During the Term, the Employee shall serve the Company

sufficient to execute the
<PAGE>
EXECUTION COPY
performance of the duties required by or appropriate for the Position, provided
that the Company hereby acknowledges that the Employee shall not be a full time
employee of the Company. Employee agrees to assume such duties and
responsibilities as may be customarily incident to such position, and as may be
reasonably assigned to Employee from time to time by the Board of Directors of
the Company. Employee shall report, throughout the Term, to the Executive
Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Executive Committee") of the Company;
it is anticipated that Employee will devote two-thirds of his working time to
service to the Company. Employee shall perform his duties from the Company's
office in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania or in his home office in Tucson,
Arizona, but shall travel to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the
duties hereunder. If the employee is required to travel internationally
(excluding North America), it shall be in business class.
3. Other Business Activities. The Company hereby acknowledges that the
-------------------------
Employee will engage, directly or indirectly, during the Term in other business
activities or pursuits, provided, however, that such activities shall not
interfere with the performance of Employee's responsibilities and obligations
pursuant to this Agreement.
4. Compensation.
------------
4.1 The Company shall pay Employee, and Employee hereby agrees to
accept, as compensation for all services rendered hereunder and for Employee's
covenant not to compete as provided for in Section 8 hereof, a base salary at
the annual rate of One Hundred Thirty One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars
($131,250) (as the same may hereafter be increased, the "Base Salary"), which
shall continue as such for the remainder of the Term unless otherwise increased
pursuant to this Section 4 of this Agreement. The Base Salary shall be inclusive
of all applicable income, social security and other taxes and charges which are
required by law to be withheld by the Company or which are requested to be
withheld by Employee, and which shall be withheld and paid in accordance with
the Company's normal payroll practice for its similarly situated employees from
time to time in effect. Increases in the Base Salary may be granted from time to
time at the sole discretion of the Company. In addition to the Base Salary, the
Company shall pay Employee, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the final
audit for each fiscal year, a bonus (the "Bonus") in the same manner as for
similarly situated employees. Such Bonus shall be based on the guidelines
established by the Company in advance of each fiscal year under the Company's
formal incentive compensation plan, including, but not limited to, the results
of the Company's operations, achievement of business unit targets, if
applicable, and individual performance as compared to specific management
objectives set prior to each fiscal

year. Payment of any Bonus upon termination of Employee shall be paid in
accordance with Section 9 hereof.
4.2 In addition to the foregoing Section 4.1, the Company shall
grant to the Employee an incentive stock option (the "Option") to purchase
seventy five thousand (75,000) shares of Common Stock, no par value, of the
Company ("Common Stock"). The Option shall be an incentive stock option. The
Option shall be subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the 1997
Incentive Plan of the Company, as amended (the "Plan") and shall vest in
accordance with the terms set forth in the Incentive Stock Option Agreement
between the Company and the Employee dated as of February 15, 2000. In addition
to the Option, the Company may grant to the Employee additional stock options
under the Plan as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board from
time to time in its sole discretion.
5. Benefits and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
---------------------
Agreement or in Schedule A attached hereto, the Employee shall be entitled to
(i) all standard benefits for executive level vice-presidents of the Company and
(ii) those benefits set forth on Schedule A hereto (collectively, "Benefits").
6. Confidentiality. Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the
---------------
Proprietary Information (as hereinafter defined) is a valuable, special and
unique asset of the Business of the Company. As a result, both during the Term
and thereafter, Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Company, for any reason, either directly or indirectly, divulge to any third-
party or use for his own benefit, or for any purpose other than the exclusive
benefit of the Company, any confidential, proprietary, business and technical
information or trade secrets of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of
the Company ("Proprietary Information") revealed, obtained or developed in the
course of his employment with the Company. Nothing herein contained shall
restrict Employee's ability to make such disclosures as may be necessary or
appropriate to the effective and efficient discharge of the duties required by
or appropriate for his Position or as such disclosures may be required by law;
and further provided, that nothing herein contained shall restrict Employee from
divulging or using for his own benefit or for any other purpose any Proprietary
Information that is readily available to the general public so long as such
information did not become available to the general public as a direct or
indirect result of Employee's breach of this Section 6. Failure by the Company
to mark any of the Proprietary Information as confidential or proprietary shall
not affect its status as Proprietary Information under the terms of this
Agreement.

7. Property.
--------
(a) All right, title and interest in and to Proprietary Information
shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company. During the
Term, Employee shall not remove from the Company's offices or premises any
documents, records, notebooks, files, correspondence, reports, memoranda or
similar materials of or containing Proprietary Information, or other materials
or property of any kind belonging to the Company unless necessary or appropriate
in accordance with the duties and responsibilities required by or appropriate
for his Position and, in the event that such materials or property are removed,
all of the foregoing shall be returned to their proper files or places of
safekeeping as promptly as possible after the removal shall serve its specific
purpose. Employee shall not make, retain, remove and/or distribute any copies of
any of the foregoing for any reason whatsoever except as may be necessary in the
discharge of his assigned duties and shall not divulge to any third person the
nature of and/or contents of any of the foregoing or of any other oral or
written information to which he may have access or with which for any reason he
may become familiar, except as disclosure shall be necessary in the performance
of his duties or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6 hereof; and upon
the termination of his employment with the Company, he shall leave with or
return to the Company all originals and copies of the foregoing then in his
possession, whether prepared by Employee or by others.
(b) (i) Employee agrees that all right, title and interest in and
to any innovations, designs, systems, analyses, ideas for marketing programs,
and all copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade names, or similar intangible
personal property which have been or are developed or created in whole or in
part by Employee (1) at any time and at any place while the Employee is employed
by Company and which, in the case of any or all of the foregoing, are related to
and used in connection with the Business of the Company, (2) as a result of
tasks assigned to Employee by the Company, or (3) from the use of premises or
personal property (whether tangible or intangible) owned, leased or contracted
for by the Company (collectively, the "Intellectual Property"), shall be and
remain forever the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The Employee
shall promptly disclose to the Company all Intellectual Property, and the
Employee shall have no claim for additional compensation for the Intellectual
Property.
(ii) The Employee acknowledges that all the Intellectual
Property that is copyrightable shall be considered a work made for hire under
United States Copyright Law. To the extent that any copyrightable Intellectual
Property may not be considered a work made for hire under the applicable
provisions of the United States Copyright Law, or to the extent that,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Employee may retain an interest in
-4-
<PAGE>
EXECUTION COPY
any Intellectual Property that is not copyrightable, the Employee hereby
irrevocably assigns and transfers to the Company any and all right, title, or
interest that the Employee may have in the Intellectual Property under
copyright, patent, trade secret and trademark law, in perpetuity or for the
longest period otherwise permitted by law, without the necessity of further
consideration. The Company shall be entitled to obtain and hold in its own name
all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and trademarks with respect thereto.
(iii) Employee further agrees to reveal promptly all
information relating to the same to an appropriate officer of the Company and to
cooperate with the Company and execute such documents as may be necessary or
appropriate (1) in the event that the Company desires to seek copyright, patent
or trademark protection, or other analogous protection, thereafter relating to
the Intellectual Property, and when such protection is obtained, to renew and
restore the same, or (2) to defend any opposition proceedings in respect of
obtaining and maintaining such copyright, patent or trademark protection, or
other analogous protection.
(iv) In the event the Company is unable after reasonable effort
to secure Employee's signature on any of the documents referenced in Section
7(b)(iii) hereof, whether because of Employee's physical or mental incapacity or
for any other reason whatsoever, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee's
agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in his behalf and stead to execute
and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to
further the prosecution and issuance of any such copyright, patent or trademark
protection, or other analogous protection, with the same legal force and effect
as if executed by Employee.
