                                    --------

          WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive and the Executive
wishes to accept such employment on the terms and conditions hereafter set

          WHEREAS, the Company wishes to make secure for itself the experience,

          NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, each intending to
be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

          1.  Employment.  The Company shall employ the Executive, and the
              ----------                                                  
Executive shall perform services for and continue in the employment of the
Company, for an initial period of three (3) years commencing on April 1, 1996,
and ending on March 31, 1999, whereupon the Executive's employment hereunder
shall automatically be extended from year to year on and after April 1, 1999,
until either the Company or the Executive gives the other party at least ninety
(90) days' written notice prior to the then-applicable "Expiration Date" (as
hereinafter defined) of its or his desire to terminate this Agreement, unless
such employment shall have been sooner terminated as hereinafter set forth.  For
purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term "Employment Period" shall mean the
initial three (3) year period and all extensions thereof, if any, as aforesaid,
and (ii) the term "Expiration date" shall mean March 31 of either calendar year
1999 or any subsequent calendar year if the Employment Period is extended on and
after April 1, 1999, as aforesaid.

          2.  Position and Duties.  The Executive shall serve the Company in the
              -------------------                                               
capacity of President and Chief Operating Officer, or in such other position as
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, his designee or the Board of
Directors of the Company may designate from time to time, shall be accountable
to, and shall have such other powers, duties and
<PAGE>
 
responsibilities, consistent with this capacity, as the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, his designee or the Board of Directors of the Company and the
Executive shall by mutual agreement from time to time determine.  The Executive
shall perform and discharge, faithfully, diligently and to the best of his
ability, such duties and responsibilities.  The Executive shall devote
substantially all of his working time and efforts to the business and affairs of

          (c)  Expenses.  During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
               --------

          (d)  Fringe Benefits.  During the Employment Period, the Executive

          (f)  Stock Option Grant.  As soon as practicable after the
               ------------------

          (g)  Moving Expenses.  The Company will reimburse the Executive for
               ---------------

               ----------------

terminated (x) by his death, the date of his death; or (y) for any other reason,

termination given by the party terminating the employment relationship.

          (b)  Death.  The Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon
               -----

shall have designated in a notice filed with the Company, or, if no such person
shall have been designated, to his estate, an amount equal to the Salary that
would have been due to the Executive had this Agreement been in effect from the
date of his death until the Expiration Date.

          (c)  Incapacity.  If in the reasonable judgment of the Board of
               ----------                                                
Directors of the Company, as a result of the Executive's incapacity due to
physical or mental illness or otherwise, the Executive shall for at least six
(6) consecutive months during the term of this Agreement have been unable to

Company desires to so terminate the Executive, the Company shall:

     event of the Executive's subsequent death, such person as the Executive
     shall have designated in a notice filed with the Company, or, if no such
     person shall have been designated, to his estate) his Salary (in effect as
     of the date of such termination) and extend to him the incentive bonus,
     expenses, fringe benefits and automobile set forth in Section 3 above.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
          Any dispute between the Board of Directors of the Company and the
Executive with respect to the Executive's incapacity shall be settled by
reference to a competent medical authority mutually agreed to by the Board of
Directors and the Executive or his duly authorized representative, whose
decision shall be binding on all parties.  The obligations of the Company
pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall survive any termination of  the Executive's
employment pursuant to this Section 4(c).

          (d)  Termination by the Company.  The Company may terminate the
               --------------------------                                
Executive's employment hereunder for "cause".  For purposes of this Agreement,
"cause" shall mean (i) the Executive's material failure, refusal or neglect to

Executive's personal dishonesty or moral turpitude.  If the Executive's
employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 4(d), the Company shall have
no further obligations to the Executive hereunder after the Termination Date,
except for unpaid Salary and benefits accrued through the Termination Date.

          (e)  Change of Control.  If a "Change of Control" (as that term is
               -----------------

Company and United States Trust Company of New York, as trustee, in connection
with the Company's 9 3/4% Senior Notes due 2003) occurs during the Employment
Period and, as a result of such Change of Control, this Agreement or the
Executive's employment is terminated for any reason, or the Executive resigns
his employment because any of the Executive's position, powers, duties or
responsibilities under Section 2 above are changed without his agreement, or any
compensation or benefit payable or otherwise extended to the Executive hereunder
(including without limitation Salary, incentive bonus, expenses, fringe benefits
and automobile set forth in Section 3 above) is eliminated or reduced, the
Company or its successor in interest shall:

(i)  give prompt notice to the Executive of any such termination, change,
     elimination or reduction;

(ii) within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, pay to the Executive
     (or in the event of the Executive's subsequent death, such person as the
     Executive shall have designated in a notice filed with the Company, or, if
     no such person shall have been designated, to his estate) the lump sum
     amount equal to two times the Executive's Salary in effect as of the
     Termination date, which lump sum amount shall  not be pro-rated and shall
     be paid in addition to the Salary due and payable under (iii) below; and,

                                      -4-

(iii) until the Expiration Date, continue to pay to the Executive (or in the
      event of the Executive's subsequent death, such person as the Executive
      shall have designated in a notice filed with the Company, or, if no such
      person shall have been designated, to his estate) his Salary (in effect as
      of the date of the Change of Control), and (to the extent legally
      practicable) extend to the Executive the applicable fringe benefits
      referred to in Section 3(d) above.

          The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 4(e) shall
      survive any termination of this Agreement or the Executive's employment
      pursuant to this Section 4(e).

          (f)  Severance Pay.  If the Executive's employment hereunder is not
               -------------                                                 
extended and this Agreement is terminated as set forth in Section 1 above, or
this Agreement or the Executive's employment is terminated as a result of any
Change of Control under Section 4(e) above, the Company or its successor in
interest shall (i) give to the Executive ninety (90) days' prior notice of such
termination, and (ii) within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, pay to
the Executive (or in the event of the Executive's subsequent death, such person
as the Executive shall have designated in a notice filed with the Company, or,
if no such person shall have been designated, to his estate) a lump sum amount
equal to the Executive's Salary in effect as of the Termination Date, which lump
sum amount shall not be pro-rated.  The obligations of the Company pursuant to
this Section 4(f) shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the
Executive's employment as aforesaid.
