Each  executive  officer  may resign at any time.  If the Corporation terminates
employment  without  cause,  or  if  there  is  a  constructive termination, the

termination.  If  employment  is  terminated for any other reason, the executive
officer is not entitled to receive any base salary or other benefits for periods

options  held by Messrs. Sharples or O'Neill or by Ms. Sharples will immediately
vest.  Each of Clifford A. Sharples, James N. O'Neill and Lisa W.A. Sharples has
also  entered  into a nondisclosure agreement under which each executive officer
has  agreed  not  to  compete  with  the Corporation during employment and for a
period  of  two  years  following  termination  of  employment and has agreed to
maintain  the  confidentiality  of the Corporation's proprietary information and
trade  secrets.

     On March 1, 1996, the Corporation entered into an employment agreement with
Andrew  R.  Martin.  This employment agreement may be terminated by either party
