W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to enter into an agreement providing for Executive’s employment by the Company and specifying the terms and conditions of such employment; and

WHEREAS, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Recapitalization (the “Recapitalization Agreement”) dated April 18, 1999 with Red Dog Acquisition, Corp. (“Newco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking Partners II L.P. (“LB MBP II”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, the Company will be recapitalized through a merger with and into Newco, following which substantially all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company will be held by LB MBP II; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to modify any prior employment agreement and restate such agreement in a single document as hereinafter provided; and

WHEREAS, Executive desires to continue his employment with the Company on the terms and conditions provided herein;

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

1.                                       Employment and Term.

(a)                            Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment, as Vice President,

Marketing of the OCSD of the Company and shall have such responsibilities, duties and authority as may from time to time be assigned to Executive by the Group President (or his designee), which responsibilities, duties and authority may be altered from time to time. Executive hereby agrees that during the Term of this Agreement he will devote substantially all his working time, attention and energies to the diligent performance of his duties for the Company.  With the consent of the Group President (or his designee), the Executive may serve as a director on the board of directors or trustees of an additional company or educational organization.

(b)                           Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be for a rolling, two-year term (the “Term”) commencing on the Effective Time (as defined in the Recapitalization Agreement), and shall be deemed to extend automatically, without further action by either the Company or Executive, each day for an additional day, such that the remaining term of the Agreement shall continue to be two years; provided, however, that either party may, by written notice to the other, cause this Agreement to cease to extend automatically and, upon such notice, the “Term” of this Agreement shall be the two years following the date of such notice and this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of such Term.

(c)                            The purpose of this Agreement is to amend any prior employment agreement and to provide a single, integrated document which shall provide the basis for Executive’s continued employment by the Company.  This Agreement supersedes any prior employment agreement in its entirety and any rights under any prior employment agreement are terminated on the Effective Time, This Agreement shall not be effective until the Effective Time,

and this Agreement shall terminate immediately if the Recapitalization Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Effective Time.

2.                                       Compensation and Benefits.  As compensation for Executive’s services during the initial Term of this Agreement, Executive shall be paid and receive the compensation and benefits set forth in subsections (a) through (e) below:

(a)                            An annual base salary (“Base Salary”) of One Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand and 00/00 Dollars ($138,000.00), prorated for any partial year of employment. Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to annual review at such time as the Company conducts salary reviews for its executives generally.  Executive’s Base Salary shall be payable in substantially equal installments on a semi-monthly basis, or in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices in effect from time to time for executives of the Company.

(b)                           Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Target Incentive Plan and such other annual incentive plans as may be established by the Company from time to time for individuals at Executive’s level.  The Company will establish individual and financial performance goals each year under the incentive plans, and Executive’s annual Target Bonus shall be 40% of Base Salary; the maximum award for exceeding the performance goals (which will be determined in accordance with the current plan design) shall be 80% of Base Salary.  The annual incentive bonus payable under this subsection (b) shall be payable as a lump sum at the same time bonuses are paid to other executives, unless Executive elects to defer all or a portion of such bonus pursuant to any deferral plan established by the Company for such purpose.

(c)                            The Company will grant Executive 7,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock that will vest over time (“Time Options”) and the Company will grant Executive performance-based options for 7,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock

(“Performance Options”) (the Time Options and the Performance Options are collectively referred to herein as “Options”).  The terms and conditions of the Time Options and the Performance Options shall be as set forth in the separate Option Agreements with Executive covering the grant of such Options.  Executive will be eligible to participate in such other stock option programs as may be established from time to time by the Company for its executives.

The other terms and conditions applicable to the Options and any equity purchased by Executive in the Company on or after the Effective Time (“Purchased Equity”), including put and call rights, shall be as provided in the Employee Shareholders Agreement, the terms and conditions of which are described on Schedule A, and to which Executive agrees to be bound.

(d)                           Executive shall be entitled to participate in, or receive benefits under, any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) or employee benefit arrangement made generally available by the Company to its executives, including plans providing retirement, 401(k) benefits, health care, life insurance, disability and similar benefits.

(e)                            Executive is eligible for vacation in accordance with the Company’s standard vacation policy.  Executive will be provided a vehicle in accordance with the Company’s automobile policy.  Executive will be provided an annual physical examination. Executive will be promptly reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable business expenses Executive incurs and properly reports in carrying out Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

3.                                       Termination.

3.1                                 By Company.  The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time during the Term by Notice of Termination (as

described in Section 6).  If the Company terminates Executive’s employment under this Agreement (i) for Cause, as defined in Section 5.2, (ii) if Executive becomes Disabled, or (iii) upon Executive’s death, the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall cease as of the date of termination; provided, however, that Executive will be entitled to whatever benefits are payable to Executive pursuant to the terms of any health, life insurance, disability, welfare, retirement or other plan or program maintained by the Company in which Executive participates. If the Company terminates Executive during the Term of this Agreement other than pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 3.1, Executive shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits provided in subsections (a) through (c) below.  Unless specified otherwise, the time periods in subsections (a) through (c) below shall be the 12-month period commencing on the date of Executive’s termination of employment (“Severance Period”). Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company agrees that if Executive terminates employment and is entitled to compensation and benefits under this Section 3.1, he shall not be required to mitigate damages by seeking other employment, nor shall any amount he earns reduce the amount payable by the Company hereunder.  Executive agrees that the compensation and benefits provided pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall be the only severance benefits payable to Executive by the Company and its affiliates as a result of Executive’s termination of employment and Executive hereby waives his rights (if any) to any severance benefits under any other plan or program of the Company and its affiliates.  The compensation and benefits payable or to be provided under subsections (a) through (c) below shall cease in the event of Executive’s death after termination of employment.

(a)                            Base Salary - Executive will continue to receive his Base Salary as then in effect (subject to withholding of all applicable taxes) for the Severance Period in the same manner as it was being paid as of the date of termination.

(b)                           Bonuses and Incentives - Executive shall receive bonus payments from the Company for each month of the Severance Period in an amount for each such month equal to one-twelfth of the average of the bonuses earned by him for the two fiscal years in which bonuses were paid immediately preceding the year in which such termination occurs.  Any bonus amounts that Executive had previously earned from the Company but which may not yet have been paid as of the date of termination shall be payable on the date such amounts are payable to other executives and Executive’s termination shall not affect the payment of such bonus. Executive shall also receive a prorated bonus for any uncompleted fiscal year at the date of termination (assuming the Target Award level has been achieved), based upon the number of days that he was employed during such fiscal year.

(c)                            Health and Life Insurance Coverage - The health care and group term life insurance benefits coverage provided to Executive at his date of termination shall be continued for the Severance Period at the same level and in the same manner as then provided to actively employed executive participants as if his employment under this Agreement had not terminated. Any additional coverages Executive had at termination, including dependent coverage, will also be continued for such period on the same terms, to the extent permitted by the applicable policies or contracts.  Any costs Executive was paying for such coverages at the time of termination shall be withheld from the amounts payable under subsection (a) above, or be paid by Executive by separate check payable to the Company each month in advance.  If the terms of any benefit plan referred to in this Section, or the laws applicable to such plan, do not permit continued

participation by Executive, then the Company will arrange for other coverage at its expense providing substantially similar benefits (including the same deductible and co-payment levels provided under the Company’s policy).  The benefits provided in this subsection (c) shall cease if Executive obtains other employment and, as a result of such other employment, health care and life insurance benefits are available to Executive.

(d)                           Lump Sum Payment.  While the Company intends to pay such amounts on a monthly basis, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide that the salary payments provided for under subsection (a) and/or the bonus payments provided for under subsection (b) shall be paid in a single lump sum payment, to be paid not later than 180 days after Executive’s termination of employment; provided, further, that the amount of any such lump sum payment shall be determined by taking the salary or bonus payments to be made and discounting them to their Present Value (as defined in Section 5.8) on the date the payment to Executive is made.  The lump sum payment under this subsection (d) shall not alter the amounts Executive is entitled to receive under the benefit plans described in subsection (c).  Benefits under such plans shall be determined as if Executive had received such payments over the Severance Period.

(e)                            Stock Options.  As of Executive’s date of termination, the vesting and exercisability of all outstanding Time Options and Performance Options held by Executive, (and any other outstanding stock options granted to Executive by the Company) shall be determined in accordance with the stock option agreements for such options.

3.2                                 By Executive.  Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment hereunder at any time by Notice of Termination (as described in Section 6).  If Executive terminates his employment other than for Good Reason, the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall cease as of the date of such termination.  If Executive terminates his

employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5.6), Executive shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits set forth in subsections (a) through (e) of Section 3.1 for the Severance Period, including the nonmitigation and other provisions of such section.

3.3                                 Release of Claims.  To be entitled to any of the compensation and benefits described above in this Section 3, Executive shall sign a release of claims in the form required by the Company.  No payments shall be made under this Section 3 until such release has been properly executed and delivered to the Company and until the expiration of the revocation period, if any, provided under the release.  If the release is not properly executed by Executive and delivered to the Company within the reasonable time periods specified in the release, the Company’s obligations under this Section 3 will terminate.

3.4                                 Sale of Business.  If all or substantially all of the assets of the business unit for which Executive works are sold by the Company and Executive receives a bona fide offer of employment from the purchaser of such assets for a position and with compensation and benefits comparable to those Executive then has with the Company, Executive shall not, as a result of such transaction, be entitled to compensation and benefits under this Section 3 arising from his termination of employment with the Company, nor shall Executive be entitled to terminate his employment for Good Reason.  If Executive does not receive such a bona fide offer of employment from the purchaser, then the other provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

4.                                       Confidentiality and Noncompetition.

(a)                            Executive acknowledges that, prior to and during the Term of this Agreement, the Company has furnished and will furnish to Executive Confidential information which could be used by Executive on behalf of a competitor of the Company to the Company’s substantial detriment.  Moreover, the parties recognize that Executive during the course of his

employment with the Company may develop important relationships with customers and others having valuable business relationships with the Company.  In view of the foregoing, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants contained in this Section are reasonably necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests and good will.

(b)                           Executive agrees that he shall protect the Company’s Confidential Information and shall not disclose to any Person, or otherwise use, except in connection with his duties performed in accordance with this Agreement, any Confidential Information at any time, including following the termination of his employment with the Company for any reason; provided, however, that Executive may make disclosures required by a valid order or subpoena issued by a court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, in which event Executive will promptly notify the Company of such order or subpoena to provide the Company an opportunity to protect its interests.  Executive’s obligations under this Section 4(b) shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, provided that Executive may after such expiration or termination disclose Confidential Information with the prior written consent of the Board.

(c)                            Upon the termination or expiration of his employment hereunder, Executive agrees to deliver promptly to the Company all Company files, customer lists, management reports, memoranda, research, Company forms, financial data and reports and other documents supplied to or created by him in connection with his employment hereunder (including all copies of the foregoing) in his possession or control, and all of the Company’s equipment and other materials in his possession or control.  Executive’s obligations under this Section 4(c) shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(d)                           Upon the termination or expiration of his employment under this Agreement, Executive agrees that for a period of one (1) year from his date of termination or until the end of the period for which he is entitled to receive compensation under Section 3.1 or 3.2 above, whichever is longer, he shall not (i) enter into or engage in the design, manufacture, marketing or sale of any products similar to those produced or offered by the Company or its affiliates in the area of North America, either as an individual, partner or joint venturer, or as an employee, agent or salesman, or as an officer, director, or shareholder of a corporation, (ii) divert or attempt to divert any person, concern or entity which is furnished products or services by the Company from doing business with the Company or otherwise change its relationship with the Company, or (iii) solicit, lure or attempt to hire away any of the employees of the Company with whom the Executive interacted directly or indirectly while employed with the Company.

(e)                            Executive acknowledges that if he breaches or threatens to breach this Section 4, his actions may cause irreparable harm and damage to the Company which could not be compensated in damages.  Accordingly, if Executive breaches or threatens to breach this Section 4, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other rights or remedies of the Company.  The existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of Executive’s agreement under this Section 4(e).

5.                                       Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement the following terms shall have the meanings specified below:

5.1                                 “Board” or “Board of Directors”.  The Board of Directors of the Company.

5.2                                 “Cause”.  The involuntary termination of Executive by the Company for the following reasons shall constitute a termination for Cause:

(b)                           If the termination shall have been the result of an act or acts by Executive which are in the good faith judgment of the Chief Executive Officer (or his designee) to be in violation of law or of policies of the Company and which result in material damage to the Company;

(d)                           Upon the willful and continued failure by the Executive substantially to perform his duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to mental or physical illness not constituting a Disability, as defined herein), after a demand in writing for substantial performance is delivered by the Chief Executive Officer (or his designee), which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Chief Executive Officer (or his designee) believes that Executive has not substantially performed his duties.

With respect to clauses (b), (c) or (d) above of this Section, Executive shall not be deemed to have been involuntarily terminated for Cause unless and until a notice is delivered to Executive by the Chief Executive Officer (or his designee) setting forth (i) the conduct deemed to qualify as Cause, (ii) reasonable action that would remedy such objectionable conduct, and (ill) a reasonable time (not less than thirty days) within which Executive may take such remedial action, and Executive shall not have taken such specified remedial action within such specified reasonable time.  For purposes of this Agreement, no act or failure to act by Executive shall be deemed to be “willful” unless done or omitted to be done by Executive not in good faith and

(iv)                              any purported termination of Executive’s employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Section 6 (for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective).

The Executive’s right to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness.  Unless

otherwise agreed to by Executive, the Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder.

Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by Executive, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Company.

8.                                       Successors; Binding Agreement.

8.1                                 In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to, or transferor of, the Company, the Company will require any successor to, or transferor of, all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, reorganization, liquidation, consolidation or otherwise) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall constitute the basis for Executive to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason during the 90-day period after such succession and to receive the compensation and benefits provided in Section 3.1 above.  The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall not apply to transactions covered by Section 3.4.

8.2                                 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees and by the Company’s successors and assigns.  If Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of Executive) if Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of Executive’s estate.

9.                                       Other Agents.  Nothing in this Agreement is to be interpreted as limiting the Company from employing other personnel on such terms and conditions as may be satisfactory to the Company.

10.                                 Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered or seven days after mailing if mailed, first class, certified mail, postage prepaid:

Any party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands and other communications shall be delivered or mailed by giving notice thereof to the other party in the same manner provided herein.

11.                                 Provisions Severable.  If any provision or covenant, or any part thereof, of this Agreement should be held by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, either in whole or in part, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or covenants, or any part thereof, of this Agreement, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.

12.                                 Waiver.  Failure of either party to insist, in one or more instances, on performance by the other in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be

deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any right granted in this Agreement or the future performance of any such term or condition or of any other term or condition of this Agreement, unless such waiver is contained in a writing signed by the party making the waiver.

13.                                 Indemnification.  During the term of this Agreement and after Executive’s termination for a period of time equal to the Severance Period, the Company shall indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless from and against any claim, loss or cause of action arising from or out of Executive’s performance as an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates or in any other capacity, including any fiduciary capacity, in which Executive serves at the Company’s request, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by law and under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws (the “Governing Documents”), provided that in no event shall the protection afforded to Executive hereunder be less than that afforded under the Governing Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement except for changes mandated by law.  During the Term and for a period of time equal to the Severance Period, Executive shall be covered in accordance with the terms of any policy of directors and officers liability insurance maintained by the Company for the benefit of its officers and directors.

14.                                 Amendments and Modifications.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both parties hereto.

15.                                 Governing Law.  The validity and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

16.                                 Arbitration of Disputes;  Expenses.  All claims by Executive for compensation and benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board and shall be in writing.  Any denial by the Board of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be

delivered to Executive in writing and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon.  The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to Executive for a review of a decision denying a claim and shall further allow Executive to appeal to the Board a decision of the Board within sixty (60) days after notification by the Board that Executive’s claim has been denied.  Unless prohibited by applicable law, any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in a location selected at the discretion of the Company (which shall not be unreasonable, taking into account the business location at which Executive is employed), and shall proceed in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.  In the event the Executive incurs legal fees and other expenses in seeking to obtain or to enforce any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement and is successful, in whole or in part, in obtaining or enforcing any material rights or benefits through settlement, arbitration or otherwise, the Company shall promptly pay Executive’s reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this Agreement and the fees of the arbitrator.  Except to the extent provided in the preceding sentence, each party shall pay its own legal fees and other expenses associated with any dispute.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
