OPERATIONS:

Revenues for the first six months of 1998 were $21,600,000 lower than the
comparable period of 1997. This was primarily due to a decline of $106,300,000
in the Other segment chiefly associated with the sales of Facility Services New
York operations in July 1997 and certain operations of Atlantic Design Company
(ADC), a contract manufacturing business in late 1997 and in early 1998. The
Entertainment segment's revenues were $33,100,000 higher reflecting increased
activity at the World Trade Center and certain sports venues, the partial
start-up of 

<PAGE>



Entertainment sites in Arizona, Texas and Florida, and the
acquisition of the Enchanted Castle in late 1997. The Aviation segment's
revenues were $4,000,000 higher primarily reflecting the gain on the sale of the
domestic catering operations and the gain on the sale of a 5% interest in the
Hong Kong ground services company. These increases in aviation revenues were
partially offset by the effect of the sale in 1997 of the Miami and Spanish
inflight catering business and certain ground services operations. The Energy
segment's revenues were $47,600,000 higher primarily due to Independent Power
operations including the results of the acquisition in late 1997 of both Pacific
Energy and a 60% interest in four cogeneration plants in China, and increased
production at the Edison Bataan facility; the buy-out of a Waste-to-Energy power
purchase contract; and increased construction revenues associated with retrofit
activity at several facilities.

Consolidated operating income for the first six months of 1998 was $7,800,000
higher than the comparable period of 1997. The Entertainment segment's income
from operations was $4,300,000 higher primarily reflecting increased activity at
the World Trade Center and certain sports venues, the partial start-up of
Entertainment sites in Arizona, Texas and Florida and other credits. These
increases in Entertainment's income from operations were partially offset by
start-up expenses at the Tinseltown operation. The Aviation segment's income
from operations was $20,900,000 higher primarily reflecting the gain on the sale
of the domestic inflight catering business in June 1998, and the gain on the
sale of a 5% interest in the Hong Kong ground services company. These increases
in Aviation's income from operations in 1998 were offset in part by reduced
European operations, provision for restructuring European operations, certain
legal claims and other charges in 1998, and in part by the gain on the sale in
1997 of the Miami and Spanish inflight catering business and certain ground
services operations. The Energy segment's income from operations was $1,900,000
lower primarily reflecting an increase of $800,000 in Waste-to-Energy operations
chiefly associated with increased operating results at four facilities,
partially offset by increased maintenance costs and decreased operating results
at a facility due to a service agreement adjustment. In addition, construction
income increased $400,000 due to the commencement of retrofit activity at
several facilities. These increases were more than offset by the Independent
Power group's income from operations decreasing $500,000 primarily due to
provisions established for several geothermal operations and increased
development costs, partially offset by the results of Pacific Energy and the
groups 60% interest in four cogeneration plants in China, both acquired in 1997;
increased production at the Edison Bataan facility and the Environmental group's
income from operations decreasing $2,500,000 primarily reflecting the write-off
of uncollectible notes receivable. The Other segment's income from operations
was $5,600,000 lower chiefly associated with the sale of an investment in
Universal Ogden in the first quarter of 1997.

Corporate unallocated expenses - net for the six months ended June 30, 1998
increased $9,300,000 over the comparable period of 1997. This increase was
primarily due to restructuring costs, certain litigation and proxy related
charges.

Equity in net income of investees and joint ventures for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 was $3,100,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997 chiefly
associated with the buy-out of an energy sales agreement with respect to a 50%
joint venture, the results of Pacific Energy joint ventures acquired in
September 1997 and increased activity in several aviation joint ventures. 

<PAGE>


These increases were partially offset by start-up costs of the Bogota, Colombia
and Argentina 2000 airport operations as well as low activity in Entertainment's
Spanish theme park joint venture.

The Energy segment has three interest rate swap agreements entered into as 
hedges against interest rate exposure on three series of adjustable rate 
project debt that resulted in additional debt service costs of $360,000 and 
$200,000 for the first six months of 1998 and 1997.

Interest income for the first six months of 1998 was $3,600,000 lower than the
comparable period of 1997 primarily reflecting the repayment of debt by a
customer and lower average cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense was
$600,000 lower chiefly associated with reduced borrowings and payments on
outstanding debt, partially offset by increased interest on notes issued in
connection with the acquisition of Pacific Energy in September 1997. Ogden has
two interest rate swap agreements covering notional amounts of $100,000,000 and
$4,300,000, respectively. The first swap agreement expires on December 16, 1998
and was entered into in order to convert Ogden's fixed rate $100,000,000 9.25%
debentures into variable rate debt. The second swap agreement expires on
November 30, 2000 and was entered into in order to convert Ogden's $4,300,000
variable rate debt to a fixed rate. These agreements resulted in additional
interest expense of $190,000 and $80,000 for the first six months of 1998 and
1997, respectively.

The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 1998 was 38% compared
with 43% for the comparable period of 1997. This decrease of 5% was chiefly
associated with higher foreign earnings in countries with lower income tax
rates, and non-conventional fuel tax credits generated by Pacific Energy.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $20,500,000 higher than
the comparable period of 1997. The Entertainment segment's revenues were
$19,600,000 higher reflecting increased customer activity in food and beverage
operations at sports venues and the World Trade Center, the partial start-up of
Entertainment sites in Arizona, Texas and Florida and the acquisition of
Enchanted Castle in late 1997. The Aviation segment's revenue was $24,100,000
higher primarily reflecting the gain on the sale of the domestic inflight
catering operations in June 1998. This increase was partially offset by the gain
on the sale in 1997 of the Spanish inflight catering operations and certain
ground services operations. The Energy segment's revenues were $29,800,000
higher primarily due to Independent Power operations, including the results of
the acquisition in 1997 of both Pacific Energy and a 60% interest in four
cogeneration plants in China, and increased production on the Edison Bataan
facility; the buyout of a Waste-to-Energy power purchase agreement; and an
increase in the consulting and engineering business of Ogden Environmental.
These increases in revenues were partially offset by a decrease of $52,900,000
in the Other segment's revenues primarily due to the previous sale of certain
operations of ADC and Facility Services New York operations.

Consolidated operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$7,300,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997. The Entertainment
segment's income from operations was $2,100,000 higher primarily due to
increased activity at several sports venues and the World Trade Center, the
acquisition of Enchanted Castle, the partial start-up of an entertainment site
in Florida and other credits. These increases were partially offset by start up
costs at the 


<PAGE>


Tinseltown operation. The Aviation segment's income from operations
was $19,400,000 higher primarily reflecting the gain on the sale of the domestic
inflight catering operations in June 1998. This increase was offset in part by
reduced European operations, provisions for restructuring European operations,
certain legal claims and other charges in 1998 and in part by the gain on the
sale of the Spanish inflight kitchen and certain ground services operations. The
Energy segment's income from operations was $5,600,000 lower primarily due to a
reduction of $4,500,000 in Independent Power reflecting provisions established
for several geothermal operations and increased development costs. These
decreases were partially offset by the results of Pacific Energy and the group's
60% interest in four cogeneration plants in China acquired in 1997; the
Environmental group's income from operations decreased $2,000,000 reflecting the
write-off of uncollectible notes receivables. Waste-to-Energy operations
increased $800,000. The Other segment's income from operations increased
$1,500,000 chiefly associated with the previous sale of certain ADC operations.

Unallocated corporate expenses - net for the three months ended June 30, 1998
were $10,200,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997 chiefly associated
with restructuring costs, certain litigation and proxy related charges.

Equity in net income of investees and joint ventures for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 was $3,500,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997 primarily
reflecting the buyout of an energy sales agreement with respect to a 50% owned
joint venture, the results of Pacific Energy joint ventures acquired in 1997 and
increased activity at several aviation joint ventures. These increases were
partially offset by start-up costs of the Bogota, Colombia and Argentina 2000
airport operations as well as low activity in Entertainment's Spanish theme park
joint venture.

At June 30, 1998, the Energy segment had three interest rate swap agreements
which resulted in additional debt service expense of $108,000 and lower debt
service expense of $9,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $2,900,000 lower
than the comparable period of 1997 chiefly associated with the repayment of debt
by customers and lower average cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense was
$1,400,000 lower chiefly associated with reduced short term borrowings and
payments on outstanding debt, partially offset by interest on notes issued in
connection with the acquisition of Pacific Energy. Ogden has two interest rate
swap agreements which resulted in additional interest expense of $41,000 and
$46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was 39%
compared with 43% for the comparable period of 1997. This decrease of 4%
primarily reflects higher foreign earnings in countries with lower tax rates and
non-conventional fuel tax credits.

Capital Investments and Commitments: During the first six months of 1998,
capital investments amounted to $65,700,000, of which $12,100,000, inclusive of
restricted funds transferred from funds held in trust, was for Energy facilities
and $53,600,000 was for normal replacement and growth in Entertainment
($29,200,000), Aviation ($20,900,000), Energy ($2,900,000) operations and Other
($600,000). 


<PAGE>


At June 30, 1998, capital commitments amounted to $139,000,000 which included
$68,500,000 for normal replacement, modernization, and growth in Entertainment
($52,400,000), Aviation ($4,100,000), and Energy ($12,000,000) operations. Also
included was $38,100,000 for Energy's coal-fired power project in The
Philippines reflecting $18,700,000 for the remaining mandatory equity
contribution, $5,700,000 for contingent equity contributions, and $13,700,000
for a standby letter of credit in support of debt service reserve requirements.
Funding for the remaining mandatory equity contribution is being provided
through a bank credit facility, which must be repaid in December 2001. The
Corporation also has a $21,000,000 equity commitment in an Aviation joint
venture in Argentina and a $11,400,000 contingent equity commitment in an
entertainment venture. In addition, compliance with standards and guidelines
under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 will require further Energy capital
expenditures currently estimated at $25,000,000 by December 2000 subject to the
final time schedules determined by the individual states in which the Company's
waste-to-energy facilities are located.

Ogden and certain of its subsidiaries have issued or are party to performance
bonds and guarantees and related contractual obligations undertaken mainly
pursuant to agreements to construct and operate certain waste-to-energy,
entertainment, and other facilities. In the normal course of business, they are
involved in legal proceedings in which damages and other remedies are sought. In
connection with certain contractual arrangements, Ogden has agreed to provide
two vendors with specified amounts of business over a three year period. If
these amounts are not provided, the corporation may be liable for prorated
damages of up to approximately $5,000,000. Management does not expect that these
contractual obligations, legal proceedings, or any other contingent obligations
incurred in the normal course of business will have a material adverse effect on
Ogden's Consolidated Financial Statements.

During 1994, a subsidiary of Ogden entered into a 30-year facility management
contract, pursuant to which it agreed to advance funds to a customer and, if
necessary, to assist the customers' refinancing of senior secured debt incurred
in connection with the construction of the facility. During 1997, Ogden
purchased the customer's senior secured debt in the amount of $95,000,000, using
borrowed funds, which senior secured debt was subsequently sold and the borrowed
funds repaid. Ogden is obligated to repurchase such senior secured debt in the
amount of $97,050,000 on December 30, 2002 if the debt is not refinanced prior
to that time. Ogden's repurchase obligation is collateralized by bank letters of
credit. Ogden is also required to repurchase the outstanding amount of certain
subordinated secured debt of such customer on December 30, 2002. At June 30,
1998, the amount outstanding was $51,625,000. In addition, the Corporation has
guaranteed indebtedness of $20,683,000 of an affiliate and principal tenant of
this customer, which indebtedness is due in September 1998. Ogden also has
guaranteed borrowing's of a customer amounting to approximately $13,200,000 as
well as $13,800,000 of borrowings of joint ventures in which Ogden has an equity
interest. Management does not expect that these arrangements will have a
material adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity/Cash Flow - Net cash provided from operating activities was
$143,100,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997 primarily reflecting an
increase in deferred income of $204,000,000 chiefly associated with the
prepayment of a power purchase agreement for the Haverhill waste-to-energy
plant, partially offset by the collection in 1997 of $41,700,000 relating to

<PAGE>


certain legal settlements. Net cash used in investing activities decreased
$113,700,000 primarily reflecting a net decrease in loans to customers of
$99,300,000, and increased proceeds of $35,900,000 from the sale of businesses.
These decreases in net cash used in investing activities were partially offset
by increased capital expenditures of $20,800,000 primarily in the Entertainment
and Aviation segments and increased investments and advances to investees and
joint ventures of $5,100,000. Net cash used in financing activities was
$238,000,000 higher chiefly associated with an increase of funds held in trust
of $198,000,000 relating to the prepayment of a power purchase agreement,
$22,200,000 for the purchase of treasury shares and a net reduction of
$23,100,000 of debt.

At June 30, 1998, the Corporation had $228,900,000 in cash and cash equivalents
and unused revolving credit lines of $184,600,000.

In January 1998, Ogden's Board of Directors reauthorized the purchase of shares
of the Corporation's common stock in an amount up to $100,000,000. From January
1 through August 10, 1998, 1,165,700 shares of common stock were purchased for
$32,418,000.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.           Legal Proceedings

          Ogden Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") are parties to
various legal proceedings involving matters arising in the ordinary course of
business. The Company does not believe that there are any pending legal
proceedings for damages against the Company, other than ordinary routine
litigation incidental to its business, the outcome of which would have a
material adverse effect on the Company on a consolidated basis.

(a)               Environmental Matters

          The Company conducts regular inquiries of its subsidiaries regarding
litigation and environmental violations which include determining the nature,
amount and likelihood of liability for any such claims, potential claims or
threatened litigation.

          In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may become
involved in Federal, state, and local proceedings relating to the laws
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment and the protection of
the environment. These include proceedings for the issuance, amendment, or
renewal of the licenses and permits pursuant to which a Company subsidiary
operates. Such proceedings also include actions brought by individuals or local
governmental authorities seeking to overrule governmental decisions on matters
relating to the subsidiaries' operations in which the subsidiary may be, but is
not necessarily, a party. Most proceedings brought against the Company by
governmental authorities or private parties under these laws relate to alleged
technical violations of regulations, licenses, or permits pursuant to which a
subsidiary operates. The Company believes that such proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

          The Company's operations are subject to various Federal, state and
local environmental laws and regulations, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean
Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Although the
Company operations are occasionally subject to proceedings and orders pertaining
to emissions into the environment and other environmental violations, the
Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with existing
environmental laws and regulations.

          In connection with certain previously divested operations, the Company
may be identified, along with other entities, as being among potentially
responsible parties responsible for contribution for costs associated with the
correction and remediation of environmental conditions at various hazardous
waste disposal sites subject to CERCLA. In certain instances the Company may be
exposed to joint and several liability for remedial action or damages. The
Company's ultimate liability in connection with such environmental claims will
depend on many factors, including its volumetric share of waste, the total cost
of remediation, the financial viability of other companies that also sent waste
to a given site and its contractual arrangement with the purchaser of such
operations.



                                      II-1
<PAGE>

          The potential costs related to such matters and the possible impact on
future operations are uncertain due in part to the complexity of government laws
and regulations and their interpretations, the varying costs and effectiveness
of cleanup technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or other types of
recovery, and the questionable level of the Company's responsibility. Although
the ultimate outcome and expense of environmental remediation is uncertain, the
Company believes that required remediation and continuing compliance with
environmental laws will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

CONFIDENTIAL AND
LEGALLY PRIVILEGED

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the 28th day of October
1996, by and between OGDEN SERVICES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
maintaining its principal office at Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, New York
(the "Company") and Alane G. Baranello, an individual now residing at 18 Downing
Street, East Williston, New York 11596 (the "Employee").

                                WITNESSETH THAT:

         WHEREAS, the Employee is currently serving in an executive capacity as
a Vice President of the Company and the Company desires to ensure that the
Employee will continue to be available to provide human resource services for
the company; and

         WHEREAS, to induce the Employee to provide such services, the Company
is offering to provide the Employee with the compensation, benefits and security
provided for in this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1.        Employment/Capacity/Term.

                  (a) The Company agrees to and does hereby employ the Employee,
and the Employee agrees to and hereby does enter into the employ of the Company
upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Such employment shall
be in an executive capacity as Vice President, Human Resources of the Company.

                  (b) This Agreement and such employment shall commence on
November 1, 1996 and shall continue through October 31, 1999 ("the Initial
Term"), and from year to year thereafter (the "Extended Term"), subject to the
right of the Employee or the Company to terminate this Agreement and such
employment by written notice stating an intention to terminate such employment
at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination date, stating and intention
to terminate such employment (the "Termination Date"). Termination by either
party, in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not
require a statement of the reason or cause for such termination and shall not be
deemed a breach or violation of this Agreement by the party giving such notice.
As used in this Agreement, the phrase "term of this Agreement" shall be deemed
to include the period subsequent to the date hereof and prior to termination of
this Agreement.

<PAGE>

         2. Time and Effort/Absences.

         During the "term of this Agreement", the Employee shall devote his
entire time and attention during normal business hours to the business of the
Company subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company and
the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and he or she shall
not engage in any other business activity whether or not such business activity
is pursued for gain, profit, or other pecuniary advantage, but this restriction
shall not be construed to restrict the Employee (i) from performing services as
a member of the Board of Directors, Board of Trustees or the like of any
non-profit entity for which the Employee receives no compensation, provided
that, such services do not unreasonably interfere with the ability of the
Employee to perform the services and discharge the responsibilities required of
him under this Agreement, and (ii) from investing his assets in such form or
manner as will not require any services on the part of the Employee in the
operation of the business of the entity in which such investments are made. The
Employee shall be excused from rendering his services during reasonable vacation
periods and during other reasonable temporary absences as authorized from time
to time by the Board of Directors or the President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company.

         3.       Corporate Offices.

                  If elected, the Employee will serve, without additional
compensation, as an officer and director (or in either capacity) of the Company.

         4.       Salary/Bonus/Other Benefits.

                  In consideration of the services and duties to be rendered and
performed by the Employee during the term of this Agreement, the Company agrees
to pay and provide for the Employee the compensation and benefits described
below:

                  (a) An annual salary, payable in equal monthly or bi-weekly
installments, in the amount of One Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($110,000) or in
such greater amount as may from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors
of the Company.

                  (b) An annual incentive bonus in such amount as may from time
to time be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

                  (c) Other Benefits. It is intended that the Company shall
continue to provide the Employee with benefits at least as favorable as benefits
provided on behalf of other executives of the Company who furnish services of
comparable significance, as they may exist from time to time. Such benefits
presently include (i) Group Life Insurance, Supplemental Executive Group Life
Insurance, Medical and Health Insurance, Ogden Stock Option Plan, Executive
Pension Plan, Ogden Select Plan and Ogden 401(k) Plan and (ii) an automobile
allowance in the amount of $700 per month. Provided, however, any such
participation shall be in accordance with the provisions of such plans and
nothing 

                                       2
<PAGE>

contained in this Agreement in intended to or shall be deemed to affect
adversely any of the Employee's rights as a participant under any such plans.
Nothing herein shall prevent the Company from modifying or discontinuing any
benefit plan on a consistent and non-discriminatory basis applicable to all such
executives.

         5.        Expenses.

                  The Employee shall be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses
incurred from time to time on behalf of the Company or in the performance of his
or her duties under this Agreement, upon the presentation of such supporting
documents and forms as the Company shall reasonably request.

         6.       Medical Leave, Reasonable Accommodation, Termination for
                  Medical Incapacity and Disability Benefits.

                  The Company agrees to provide the Employee with a medical
leave of absence not to exceed six (6) months in duration in any twelve (12)
month period if the Employee has a medical condition that precludes the Employee
from being fully functional in his or her position. The term "fully functional"
means able to travel to and from work, be at work, perform satisfactorily all
essential functions of the position as identified herein and otherwise meet the
demands of the position and the conditions of employment without significant
risk of substantial harm to self or others. Any leave entitlement granted by
Federal, state or local law shall run concurrently with the commencement of his
or her six month period of leave, whether such leave is taken all at once,
intermittently or on a reduced time basis. Nothing herein is intended to
diminish any entitlement granted by law. If appropriate, the Company will
support the Employee's application for disability benefits.

                  If the Employee is not able to return to the position in a
fully functional capacity at the conclusion of six months of medical leave in a
twelve month period, this Agreement may be terminated by the Board of Directors
of the Company at its sole discretion, without prior notice.

                  Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the Employee agrees that
the Employee will furnish for review for review by a medical professional
designated by the Company, copies of the Employee's medical records pertaining
to any medical condition for which the Employee requests a medical leave of more
than twelve (12) weeks in duration, return to work from any such leave, work
restrictions, modification or accommodation; or the Employee or the Company
believes that the Employee has a medical condition that may be causing or
contributing to performance or conduct deficiencies. The Employee also agrees to
authorize any health care professional from whom the Employee is receiving
diagnostic evaluation, treatment or other medical care to discuss the Employee's
medical condition with the medical professional designated by the Company to
receive and review the Employee's medical records. The Employee further agrees
that he or she will undergo, at the sole expense of the Company, any medical
specialty evaluation if requested to do so by the Company.

                  The Company agrees to provide the Employee, if he or she is
otherwise qualified for 

                                       3
<PAGE>

the position, with medically necessary accommodations if it likely will enable
the employee to be fully functional in the position and is reasonable, feasible
and will not impose undue hardship on Company operations. The term "medically
necessary" means that the accommodation has risk-avoiding or therapeutic value
in accordance with scientifically valid medical principles and practice and that
the Employee requires similar accommodation when performing comparable non-work
functions.

                  The inability of the Employee to be fully functional in his or
her position for medical reasons shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement
by the Employee. If this Agreement is terminated by the Company because the
Employee is not fully functional in his or her position for medical reasons, as
provided for in this paragraph, the Company shall be obligated to continue the
salary of the Employee as provided in Paragraph 4. (a) for a period equal to the
greater of (a) twelve months, or (b) such longer period as may be determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company, in each case, reduced by any disability
insurance benefits provided for the benefit of the Employee at the expense of
the Company.

         7.       Death/Death Benefit.

                  In the event of the death of the Employee during the term of
this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and the Employee's salary shall
continue to be paid to his or her designated beneficiary or, if none, to his or
her personal representative, through the last day of the month in which such
death occurs.

         8.        Severance Pay.

                  If the Company gives notice to terminate in accordance with
Paragraph 1 or if the employment of the Employee is terminated at any time (i)
by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined in Paragraph 9)., or (ii) by the
Company for any reason other than for Cause (as hereinafter defined), the
Company will be obligated to pay to the Employee a cash payment in an amount
equal to the product of (i) and (ii); where (i) shall equal the sum of (A) the
Employee's annual salary and (B) the Employee's annual incentive bonus during
the twelve (12) month period ending with the close of the month in which such
termination of employment occurs (the "Date of Termination"), but not less than
$50,000, which represents the 1996 target incentive, divided by twelve (12); and
where (ii) shall be the lesser of, (x) thirty-six (36), or (y) the number of
months until the Employee's normal retirement date (the "Severance Pay").
Termination of the Employee's employment on account of his or her disability,
death or retirement (as hereinafter defined) will not be considered a
termination of the Employee's employment by the Company and will not require the
Company to pay and provide any Severance Pay. No Severance Pay will be required
if the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Company for Cause (as
hereinafter defined) or by the Employee (other than for Good Reason as defined
in Paragraph 9.) or if the Employee gives notice to terminate in accordance with
Paragraph 1. The Severance Pay provided herein is provided in order to reinforce
and encourage the continued loyalty, attention, and dedication of the Employee
to the Company's business and affairs without the concerns which normally arise
from the possibility of a loss of employment security. As used herein, the terms

                                       4
<PAGE>

"Retirement" and "Cause" shall have the following meanings, respectively:

                  (a)       Retirement.

         Termination of the Employee's employment on account of "Retirement"
shall mean termination on or after the Employee's normal retirement date in
accordance with the terms of the Ogden 401(k); and

                  (b)       Cause.

         Termination by the Company of the Employee's employment for "Cause"
shall mean termination as a result of (i) the willful and continued failure by
the Employee to perform substantially the services contemplated by this
Agreement (other than any such failure resulting from the Employee's incapacity
due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to the Employee by a member or representative of the
Board of Directors of the Company or the President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which it is alleged
that the Employee has not substantially performed such services, or (ii) the
willful engaging by the Employee in gross misconduct which is materially and
demonstrably injurious to the Company; provided that, no act, or failure to act,
on the Employee's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to
be done, in bad faith and without reasonable belief that such action or omission
was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. It is also
expressly understood that the Employee's attention to or engagement in matters
not directly related to the business of the Company shall not provide a basis
for termination for Cause if such attention or engagement is authorized by the
terms of this Agreement or has otherwise been approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Employee's employment may bot be terminated for Cause unless and until there
shall have been delivered to the Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by
the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of
the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose(after
reasonable notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the Employee, together
with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith
opinion of the Board the Employee was guilty of the conduct set forth in clause
(i) or (ii) of this subparagraph (b) and specifying the particulars thereof in
detail. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 1 and 6, not purported
termination by the Company of the Employee's employment which is not justified
as a termination of the Employee's employment for Cause shall be effective .

         9.        Termination by the Employee for Good Reason.

                  The termination by the Employee of this Agreement and his
employment for "Good Reason" shall be deemed a justifiable termination of his
employment and shall excuse the Employee from the obligation to render services
as provided in Paragraph 2. hereof. Upon such termination, the Employee shall be
entitled to Severance Pay in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 8.
hereof. As used herein, the phrase "Good Reason" shall mean:

                                       5
<PAGE>

         (a) a change in the Employee's status, title or position as an officer
of the Company or the Ogden Group in the executive capacity set forth in this
Agreement which, in his or her reasonable judgment, does not represent a
promotion from or enhancement of his status, title and position, or, the
assignment by the Board of Directors of the Company to the Employee of any
duties or responsibilities which in his or her reasonable judgment, are
inconsistent with such status, title or position, or any removal of the Employee
from or failure to reappoint or reelect him or her to such position, except in
connection with a justifiable termination by the Company of the Employee's
employment for Cause or on account of disability, the retirement or death of the
Employee or the termination by the Employee of his employment other than for
Good Reason;

                  (b) a reduction in the Employee's annual salary or a failure
by the Company to pay to the Employee any installment of the annual salary
required by Paragraph 4. which failure continues for a period of twenty (20)
days after written notice thereof is given by the Employee to the Company;

                  (c) the failure by the Company within ten (10) days of notice
from the Employee to obtain the assumption of this Agreement in form and
substance to the reasonable satisfaction of the Employee by any successor (other
than by merger of consolidation for which no separate assumption is necessary)
as referred to in Paragraph 12; or

                  (d) any refusal by the Company to allow the Employee to attend
to matters or engage in activities not directly related to the business of the
Company which is permitted by this Agreement or which, prior thereto, was
permitted by the Board of Directors of the Company.

         10.      Notice of Termination.

                  Any purported notice of termination of the Employee's
employment (other than a Notice given by either party pursuant to Paragraph 1.
hereof) shall be communicated in writing and delivered to the other party as
provided in Paragraph 12., below (hereinafter a "Notice of Termination").

         11.      Confidentiality and Limited Covenant Not to Compete.

                  In connection with the performance of the Employee's job
duties in a position of trust and confidence, he or she will develop or receive
confidential, restricted or unpublished information involving trade secrets,
customer-related information, vendor-related information, copyrights, lists,
data and other information, strategic planning or operating data, computer
programs, financial, pricing, operating or training data or other confidential
business techniques, processes, methods or information which is not generally
known to the public (collectively referred to as "proprietary information").
Employee will receive or have access to "proprietary information" which was
obtained and developed through the investment of substantial amounts of money,
time and effort by the Company. Employee acknowledges and agrees that disclosure
of such "proprietary information" or its use for the benefit of any other person
or entity would be 

                                       6
<PAGE>

injurious to the Company. Employee also acknowledges and agrees that unless
Employee agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such "proprietary
information" and to limit its use solely to the Company, Employee would not have
been granted employment and if already employed, Employee's employment would
cease immediately. Regardless of the cessation of Employees employment for any
reason, the Employee's obligation to continue to maintain the confidentiality of
the "propriety information" shall continue.

                  The Employee agrees to deliver to the Company, at its request,
or in any event, upon cessation of Employee's employment with the Company (for
whatever reason and at whatever time) (a) all memoranda, notes, records, files
or other documentation, whether made or compiled by the Employee alone or in
conjunction with others (regardless of whether such persons are employed by the
Company); (b) all proprietary and other information of the Company which is in
Employee's control or possession; and (c) copies of such information, as well as
other corporate property. Regardless of cessation of Employee's employment by
the Company, and without any fee, the Employee will assist the Company in
protecting all rights the Company may have to such proprietary information.

                  The Employee recognizes that, as a direct consequence of the
materials, information and training provided to him or her by the Company, the
access he or she is granted to proprietary information and the opportunities
that he or she will have while employed by the Company to cultivate the loyalty
and goodwill of the Company's customers, suppliers, vendors and other persons,
it is important that the Employee refrain from engaging in activities which
could result in damage to the Company's business.

                  The Employee further recognizes that the Company has invested
considerable time and money to train its employees, in the services provided by
the Company and to develop the special skills required to perform such services.
Therefore, he or she will not, during the term of his or her employment with the
Company and for a period of one (1) year immediately thereafter, solicit,
entice, hire or otherwise seek to persuade, either directly or through any other
entity, any officer, employee, consultant or agent of the Company to discontinue
such relationship for any reason. During such period, the Employee will not
solicit business with any customers of the Company, nor will he or she seek to
entice or persuade any sources of referral, vendors or other entities, who are
then doing business with the Company to reduce, discontinue or curtail any
services provided to the Company in any respect.

                  To avoid the use of "proprietary information", the Employee
agrees to refrain from engaging in competing employment either directly or
indirectly on his or her own behalf or as an agent, consultant or employee of
any partnership, corporation or other entity, in any state where the Company
conducts business for a period of six (6) months after his or her employment
ceases (regardless of the reason for cessation of such employment).

                  The Employee recognizes and agrees that ascertaining damages
in the event of his 

                                       7
<PAGE>

or her breach or violation of any covenant or undertaking contained in this
Agreement would be difficult, if not impossible, and further recognizes that the
various rights and duties created in this Agreement are essential for the
operation of the Company's business operations. Consequently, irreparable injury
would result from any violation of this Agreement by him or her. Since it would
be difficult, if not impossible, to compensate fully the Company by monetary
damages in the event of the Employee's breach (although the Company retains the
right to commence a civil action seeking monetary damages), the Employee agrees
that the Company, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right
it may have, shall have the immediate right to obtain a preliminary, and
subsequently, a final injunction against the Employee, to be issued by a court
of competent jurisdiction, enjoining the Employee from engaging in any breach or
violation of this Agreement. An injunction shall be issued without posting a
bond that otherwise might be required. If an injunction is issued or if monetary
damages are awarded against the Employee, he or she will reimburse the Company
for the legal fees and court costs incurred in obtaining such relief (including
all appeals and other proceedings).

         12.       Binding Effect.

                  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of:

                  (a) Any successors or assigns of the Company, whether by way
of a merger or consolidation, or liquidation of the Company, or by way of the
Company selling all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a
successor entity; however, in the event of the assignment by the Company of this
Agreement, the Company shall nevertheless remain liable and obligated to the
Employee in accordance with the terms hereof; and

                  (b) The Employee's estate, his executors, administrators,
heirs and beneficiaries.

         13.       Notices.

                  Any notice or other communication required under this
Agreement shall be in writing, shall be deemed to have been given and received
when delivered in person, or, if mailed, shall be deemed to have been given when
deposited in the United States mail, first class, registered or certified,
return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to
have been received on the third business day thereafter, and shall be addressed
as follows:

or such other address as to which any party hereto may have notified the other
in writing.

         14.       Governing Law.

                  This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its
conflict or choice of law provisions to preserve the parties' intent, and the
enforceability of this Agreement.

         15.       Entire Agreement.

                  This Agreement contains the entire arrangement or
understanding between the Employee and the Company relating to the employment of
the Employee by the Company. No provision of the Agreement may be modified or

references to paragraphs refer to paragraphs of this Agreement.

         16.       Waiver.

                  Failure of either party hereto to insist upon strict
compliance by the other party with any term, covenant or condition hereof shall
not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver
or relinquishment or failure to insist upon strict compliance of any right or
power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of
such right or power at any other time or times.

         17.       Assignment by Employee.

                  The rights and benefits of the Employee under this Agreement
are personal to him or her and no such right or benefit shall be subject to
voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment or transfer; provided, however,
that nothing in this Paragraph 1 shall preclude the Employee from designating a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit payable on his death.

         18.       Severability.

                  If for any reason any provision of this Agreement shall be
held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this
Agreement not held so invalid, and all other provisions shall 

                                       9

to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. If any
such provision shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way
affect the remaining portion of such provision not held so invalid, and the
remaining portion of such provision, together with all other provisions of this
Agreement, shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force
and effect.

         19.       Headings.

                  The headings of paragraphs are included solely for convenience

                               EXHIBIT 10.3 (m)(1)



CONFIDENTAL AND
LEGALLY PRIVILEGED

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the 1st day of July 1998,
by and between OGDEN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation maintaining its
principal office at Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, New York (the "Company")
and Peter Allen, an individual now residing at 60 Maple Drive, Great Neck, New
York 11021 (the "Employee").

                                WITNESSETH THAT:

         WHEREAS, the Employee is currently serving in an executive capacity as
a Senior Vice President of the Company in its Legal Department and the Company
desires to ensure that the Employee will continue to be available to provide
legal services for the Company and its subsidiaries;

         WHEREAS, to induce the Employee to provide such services, the Company
is offering to provide the Employee with the compensation, benefits and security
provided for in this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Employment/Capacity/Term.

            (a)  The Company agrees to and does hereby employ the Employee, 
                 and the Employee agrees to and hereby does enter into the 
                 employ of the Company upon the terms and conditions set 
                 forth in this Agreement. Such employment shall be in an 
                 executive capacity as Senior Vice President of the Company.

            (b)  This Agreement and such employment shall commence on July 1, 
                 1998 and shall continue through June 30, 2001 (the "Initial 
                 Term"), and from year to year thereafter (the "Extended 
                 Term"), subject to the right of the Employee or the Company 
                 to terminate this Agreement and such employment by written 
                 notice stating an intention to terminate such employment at 
                 least thirty (30) days prior to such termination date (the 
                 "Termination Date"). As used in this Agreement, the phrase 
                 "term of this Agreement" shall be deemed to include the 
                 period subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the 
                 Termination Date.

<PAGE>


         2. Time and Effort/Absences.

            During the "term of this Agreement", the Employee shall devote 
            his or her entire time and attention during normal business hours 
            to the business of the Company subject to the supervision of the 
            Board of Directors of the Company and the President and Chief 
            Executive Officer of the Company. Employee shall not engage in 
            any other business activity whether or not such business activity 
            is pursued for gain, profit, or other pecuniary advantage, but 
            this restriction shall not be construed to restrict the Employee 
            (i) from performing services as a member of the Board of 
            Directors, Board of Trustees or the like of any non-profit entity 
            for which the Employee receives no compensation, provided that, 
            such services do not unreasonably interfere with the ability of 
            the Employee to perform the services and discharge the 
            responsibilities required of Employee under this Agreement, and 
            (ii) from investing his or her assets in such form or manner as 
            will not require any services on the part of the Employee in the 
            operation of the business of the entity in which such investments 
            are made. The Employee shall be excused from rendering his or her 
            services during reasonable vacation periods and during other 
            reasonable temporary absences as authorized from time to time by 
            the Board of Directors or the President and Chief Executive 
            Officer of the Company.

         3. Corporate Offices.

            If elected, the Employee will serve, without additional 
            compensation, as an officer and director (or in either capacity) 
            of the Company and its subsidiaries.

         4. Salary/Bonus/Other Benefits.

            In consideration of the services and duties to be rendered and 
            performed by the Employee during the term of this Agreement, the 
            Company agrees to pay and provide for the Employee the 
            compensation and benefits described below:

            (a)  An annual salary, payable in equal monthly or biweekly 
            installments, in the amount of Two Hundred Three Thousand Dollars 
            ($203,000.00) or in such greater amount as may from time to time 
            be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

            (b)  An annual incentive bonus in such amount as may from time to 
            time be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

            (c)  Other Benefits. The Company shall continue to provide the 
            Employee with benefits at least as favorable as benefits 
            currently provided to Employee and provided on behalf of other 
            executives of the Company who furnish services of comparable 
            significance, as they may exist from time to time. Such benefits 
            presently include (i) grandfathered participation in the Ogden 
            Core Medical Program, Group Life Insurance, Supplemental 
            Executive Group Life Insurance, 

                                       2
<PAGE>



            Medical and Dental Insurance, Ogden Stock Option Plan, Executive 
            Pension Plan, Ogden Select Plan, Ogden Profit Sharing Plan and 
            Ogden 401(k) Plan and (ii) an automobile allowance in the amount 
            of $700.00 per month. Provided, however, any such participation 
            shall be in accordance with the provisions of such plans and 
            nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall be 
            deemed to affect adversely any of the Employee's rights as a 
            participant under any such plans. Nothing herein shall prevent 
            the Company from modifying or discontinuing any benefit plan on a 
            consistent and non-discriminatory basis applicable to all such 
            executives.

         5. Expenses.

            The Employee shall be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses 
            incurred from time to time on behalf of the Company or in the 
            performance of his or her duties under this Agreement, upon the 
            presentation of such supporting documents and forms as the 
            Company shall reasonably request.

        6.  Medical Leave, Reasonable Accommodation, Termination for
            Medical Incapacity and Disability Benefits.

            The Company agrees to provide the Employee with a medical leave of 
            absence not to exceed six (6) months in duration in any twelve 
            (12) month period if the Employee has a medical condition that 
            precludes the Employee from being fully functional in his or her 
            position. The term "fully functional" means able to travel to and 
            from work, be at work, perform satisfactorily all essential 
            functions of the position as identified herein, and otherwise 
            meet the demands of the position and the conditions of employment 
            without significant risk of substantial harm to self or others. 
            Any leave entitlement granted by Federal, state or local law 
            shall run concurrently with the commencement of Employees six 
            month period of leave, whether such leave is taken all at once, 
            intermittently or on a reduced time basis. Nothing herein is 
            intended to diminish any entitlement granted by law. If 
            appropriate, the Company will support the Employee's application 
            for disability benefits.

            If the Employee is not able to return to the position in a fully 
            functional capacity at the conclusion of six months of medical 
            leave in a twelve month period, this Agreement may be terminated 
            by the Board of Directors of the Company at its sole discretion, 
            without prior notice.

            Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the Employee agrees that the 
            Employee will furnish for review by a medical professional 
            designated by the Company, copies of the Employee's medical 
            records pertaining to any medical condition for which the 
            Employee requests a medical leave of more than twelve (12) weeks 
            in duration, return to work from any such leave, work 
            restrictions, modification or accommodation; or the Employee or 
            the company believes that the Employee has a medical condition 
            that may be causing or contributing to performance or 

                                       3
<PAGE>



            conduct deficiencies. The Employee also agrees to authorize any 
            health care professional from whom the Employee is receiving 
            diagnostic evaluation, treatment or other medical care to discuss 
            the Employee's medical condition with the medical professional 
            designated by the Company to receive and review the Employee's 
            medical records. The Employee further agrees that he or she will 
            undergo, at the sole expense of the Company, any medical 
            specialty evaluation if requested to do so by the Company.

            The Company agrees to provide the Employee, if Employee is 
            otherwise qualified for the position, with medically necessary 
            accommodation if it likely will enable the employee to be fully 
            functional in the position and is reasonable, feasible and will 
            not impose undue hardship on Company operations. The term 
            "medically necessary" means that the accommodation has 
            risk-avoiding or therapeutic value in accordance with 
            scientifically valid medical principles and practice and that the 
            Employee requires similar accommodation when performing 
            comparable non-work functions.

            The inability of the Employee to be fully functional in his or 
            her position for medical reasons shall not constitute a breach of 
            this Agreement by the Employee. If this Agreement is terminated 
            by the Company because the Employee is not fully functional in 
            his or her position for medical reasons, as provided for in this 
            paragraph, the Company shall be obligated to continue the salary 
            of the Employee as provided in Paragraph 4. (a) for a period 
            equal to the greater of (i) twelve (12) months, or (ii) such 
            longer period as may be determined by the Board of Directors of 
            the Company, in each case, reduced by any disability insurance 
            benefits provided for the benefit of the Employee at the expense 
            of the Company.

         7. Death/Death Benefit.

            In the event of the death of the Employee during the term of this 
            Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and the Employee's 
            salary shall continue to be paid to his or her designated 
            beneficiary or, if none, to his or her personal representative, 
            through the last day of the month in which such death occurs.

         8. Severance Pay.

            If the Company gives notice to terminate in accordance with 
            Paragraph 1.(b) or if the employment of the Employee is 
            terminated at any time (i) by the Employee for Good Reason (as 
            defined in Paragraph 9), or (ii) by the Company for any reason 
            other than for Cause (as hereinafter defined), the Company will 
            be obligated to pay to the Employee a lump-sum cash payment in an 
            amount equal to the product of (i) and (ii); where (i) shall 
            equal the sum of (A) the Employee's annual salary in effect on 
            the date of termination and (B) the Employee's annual incentive 
            bonus for the twelve (12) month period ending on December 31 
            immediately preceding the date such termination of employment 
            occurs (the "Date of Termination"), but not less than $125,000, 
            which represents the 1998

                  target incentive, divided by twelve (12); and where (ii) shall
                  be thirty-six (36), (the "Severance Pay"). Termination of the
                  Employee's employment on account of his disability, death or
                  voluntary retirement after age 65 will not be considered a
                  termination of the Employee's employment by the Company and
                  will not require the Company to pay and provide any Severance
                  Pay. No Severance Pay will be required if the employment of
                  the Employee is terminated by the Company for Cause (as
                  hereinafter defined) or by the Employee (other than for Good
                  Reason as defined in Paragraph 9) or if the Employee gives
                  notice to terminate in accordance with Paragraph 1(b). The
                  Severance Pay provided herein is provided in order to
                  reinforce and encourage the continued loyalty, attention, and
                  dedication of the Employee to the Company's business and
                  affairs without the concerns which normally arise from the
                  possibility of a loss of employment security. As used herein,
                  the term "Cause" shall have the following meaning:

                  Cause. Termination by the Company of the Employee's employment
                  for "Cause" shall mean termination as a result of (i) the
                  willful and continued failure by the Employee to perform
                  substantially the services contemplated by this Agreement
                  (other than any such failure resulting from the Employee's
                  incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written
                  demand for substantial performance is delivered to the
                  Employee by a member or representative of the Board of
                  Directors of the Company which specifically identifies the
                  manner in which it is alleged that the Employee has not
                  substantially performed such services, or (ii) the willful
                  engaging by the Employee in gross misconduct which is
                  materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company; provided
                  that, no act, or failure to act, on the Employee's part shall
                  be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, in
                  bad faith and without reasonable belief that such action or
                  omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the
                  Company. It is also expressly understood that the Employee's
                  attention to or engagement in matters not directly related to
                  the business of the Company shall not provide a basis for
                  termination for Cause if such attention or engagement is
                  authorized by the terms of this Agreement or has otherwise
                  been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
                  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
                  the Employee's employment may not be terminated for Cause
                  unless and until there shall have been delivered to the
                  Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the
                  affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire
                  membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and
                  held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to the Employee
                  and an opportunity for the Employee, together with his
                  counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the
                  good faith opinion of the Board the Employee was guilty of the
                  conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of this subparagraph
                  (b) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail Except as
                  otherwise provided in Paragraphs 1 and 6, no purported
                  termination by the Company of the Employee's employment which
                  is not justified as a termination of the Employee's employment
                  for Cause shall be effective.

          9.       Termination by the Employee for Good Reason.

                  The Termination by the Employee of his employment for "Good
                  Reason" shall be deemed a justifiable termination of his
                  employment and shall excuse the Employee from the obligation
                  to render services as provided in Paragraph 2 hereof. Upon
                  such termination, the Employee shall be entitled to Severance
                  Pay in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 8 hereof.
                  As used herein, the phrase "Good Reason" shall mean:

                  (a)      a change in the Employee's status, title or 
                           position(s) as an officer of the Company in the 
                           executive capacity set forth in this Agreement 
                           which, in his or her reasonable judgment, does not 
                           represent a promotion from or enhancement of his 
                           status, title and position, or the assignment by 
                           the Board of Directors of the Company to the 
                           Employee of any duties or responsibilities with 
                           such status, title or position, or any removal of 
                           the Employee from or any failure to reappoint or 
                           reelect him or her to such position, except in 
                           connection with a justifiable termination by the 
                           Company of the Employee's employment for Cause or 
                           on account of disability, voluntary retirement 
                           after age 65, death of the Employee or the 
                           termination by the Employee of his employment 
                           other than for Good Reason;

                   (b)     a reduction in the Employee's annual salary or a
                           failure by the Company to pay to the Employee any
                           installment of the annual salary required by
                           Paragraph 4, which failure continues for a period of
                           twenty (20) days after written notice thereof is
                           given by the Employee to the Company;

                   (c)     the failure by the Company within ten (10) days of
                           notice from the Employee to obtain the assumption of
                           this Agreement in form and substance to the
                           reasonable satisfaction of the Employee by any
                           successor as referred to in Paragraph 12; or

                   (d)     any refusal by the Company to allow the Employee to
                           attend to matters or engage in activities not
                           directly related to the business of the Company which
                           is permitted by this Agreement or which, prior
                           thereto, was permitted by the Board of Directors of
                           the Company.

                   (e)     the change of employee's principal place of
                           employment to a location more than 50 miles from
                           Employee's current principal place of employment,
                           except for required travel on the Company's business
                           to an extent substantially consistent with Employee's
                           business travel obligations.

          10.      Notice of Termination.

                  Any purported notice of termination of the Employee's
                  employment shall be communicated in writing and delivered to
                  the other party as provided in Paragraph 12, below
                  (hereinafter a "Notice of Termination").

          11.      Confidentiality and Limited Covenant Not to Compete.

                  In connection with the performance of the Employee's job
                  duties in a position of trust and confidence, he or she will
                  develop or receive confidential, restricted or unpublished
                  information involving trade secrets, customer-related
                  information, vendor-related information, copyrights, lists,
                  data and other information, strategic planning or operating
                  data, computer programs, financial, pricing, operating or
                  training data or other confidential business techniques,
                  processes, methods or information which is not generally known
                  to the public (collectively referred to as "proprietary
                  information"). Employee will receive or have access to
                  "proprietary information" which was obtained and developed
                  through the investment of substantial amounts of money, time
                  and effort by the Company. Employee acknowledges and agrees
                  that disclosure of such "proprietary information" or its use
                  for the benefit of any other person or entity would be
                  injurious to the Company. Employee also acknowledges and
                  agrees that unless Employee agrees to maintain the
                  confidentiality of such "proprietary information" and to limit
                  its use solely to the Company, Employee would not have been
                  granted employment and if already employed, Employee's
                  employment would cease immediately. Regardless of the
                  cessation of Employees employment for any reason, the
                  Employee's obligation to continue to maintain the
                  confidentiality of the "propriety information" shall continue.

                  The Employee agrees to deliver to the Company, at its request,
                  or in any event, upon cessation of Employee's employment with
                  the Company (for whatever reason and at whatever time) (a) all
                  memoranda, notes, records, files or other documentation,
                  whether made or compiled by the Employee alone or in
                  conjunction with others (regardless of whether such persons
                  are employed by the Company); (b) all proprietary and other
                  information of the Company which is in Employee's control or
                  possession; and (c) copies of such information, as well as
                  other corporate property. Regardless of cessation of
                  Employee's employment by the Company, and without any fee, the
                  Employee will assist the Company in protecting all rights the
                  Company may have to such proprietary information.

                  The Employee recognizes that, as a direct consequence of the
                  materials, information and training provided to him or her by
                  the Company, the access he or she is granted to proprietary
                  information and the opportunities that he or she will have
                  while employed by the Company to cultivate the loyalty and
                  goodwill of the Company's customers, suppliers, vendors and
                  other persons, it is important that the Employee refrain from
                  engaging in activities which could result in damage to the
                  Company's business.



                                       7

                  The Employee further recognizes that the Company has invested
                  considerable time and money to train its employees, in the
                  services provided by the Company and to develop the special
                  skills required to perform such services. Therefore, he or she
                  will not, during the term of his or her employment with the
                  Company and for a period of one (1) year immediately
                  thereafter, solicit, entice, hire or otherwise seek to
                  persuade, either directly or through any other entity, any
                  officer, employee, consultant or agent of the Company to
                  discontinue such relationship for any reason. During such
                  period, the Employee will not solicit business with any
                  customers of the Company, nor will he or she seek to entice or
                  persuade any sources of referral, vendors or other entities,
                  who are then doing business with the Company to reduce,
                  discontinue or curtail any services provided to the Company in
                  any respect.

                  To avoid the use of "proprietary information", the Employee
                  agrees to refrain from engaging in competing employment either
                  directly or indirectly on his or her own behalf or as an
                  agent, consultant or employee of any partnership, corporation
                  or other entity, in any state where the Company conducts
                  business for a period of six (6) months after his or her
                  employment ceases (regardless of the reason for cessation of
                  such employment).

                  The Employee recognizes and agrees that ascertaining damages
                  in the event of his or her breach or violation of any covenant
                  or undertaking contained in this Agreement would be difficult,
                  if not impossible, and further recognizes that the various
                  rights and duties created in this Agreement are essential for
                  the operation of the Company's business operations.
                  Consequently, irreparable injury would result from any
                  violation of this Agreement by him or her. Since it would be
                  difficult, if not impossible, to compensate fully the Company
                  by monetary damages in the event of the Employee's breach
                  (although the Company retains the right to commence a civil
                  action seeking monetary damages), the Employee agrees that the
                  Company, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy
                  or right it may have, shall have the immediate right to obtain
                  a preliminary, and subsequently, a final injunction against
                  the Employee, to be issued by a court of competent
                  jurisdiction, enjoining the Employee from engaging in any
                  breach or violation of this Agreement. An injunction shall be
                  issued without posting a bond that otherwise might be
                  required. If an injunction is issued or if monetary damages
                  are awarded against the Employee, he or she will reimburse the
                  Company for the legal fees and court costs incurred in
                  obtaining such relief (including all appeals and other
                  proceedings).

          12.      Binding Effect.

                  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of:

                   (a)     Any successors or assigns of the Company, whether by
                           way of a merger or consolidation, or liquidation of
                           the Company, or by way of the Company

                  between the Employee and the Company relating to the
                  Employee's employment by the Company. No provision of the
                  Agreement may be modified or amended except by any instrument
                  in writing by or for both parties hereto. All references to
                  paragraphs refer to paragraphs of this Agreement.

          16.      Waiver.

                  Failure of either party hereto to insist upon strict
                  compliance by the other party with any term, covenant or
                  condition hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such term,
                  covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver of such term,
                  covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment
                  or failure to insist upon strict compliance of any right or
                  power hereunder at any one or more time be deemed a waiver or

          17.      Assignment by Employee.

                  The rights and benefits of the Employee under this Agreement
                  are personal to him or her and no such right or benefit shall
                  be subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment
                  or transfer; provided, however, that nothing in this Paragraph
                  shall preclude the Employee from designating a beneficiary or
                  beneficiaries to receive any benefit payable on his or her
                  death.

          18.      Severability.

                  If for any reason any provision of this Agreement shall be
                  held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other
                  provision of this Agreement not held so invalid, and all other
                  provisions shall to the full extent consistent with law
                  continue in full force and effect. If any such provision shall
                  be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way
                  affect the remaining portion of such provision not held so
                  invalid, and the remaining portion of such provision, together
                  with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall to the full
                  extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.

          19.      Headings.

                  The headings of paragraphs are included solely for convenience
                  of reference and shall not control the meaning or
                  interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

     Note:
              Earnings per common share was computed by dividing net income,
              reduced by preferred stock dividend requirements, by the weighted
              average of the number of shares of common stock outstanding during
              each period.

              Diluted earnings per common share was computed on the assumption
              that all convertible debentures, convertible preferred stock, and
              stock options converted or exercised during each period, or
              outstanding at the end of each period were converted at the
              beginning of each period or the date of issuance or grant, if
              dilutive. This computation provides for the elimination of related
              convertible debenture interest and preferred dividends.
