Employment Agreements
Loren Brink. On May 22, 1997 the Company entered into a three-year
Employment Agreement with Mr. Brink, effective January 1, 1997 (the
"Agreement"), which will automatically extend for additional three-year terms,
unless either party gives written notice of termination. Pursuant to the
Agreement, Mr. Brink will continue to serve as the Company's President and Chief
Executive Officer at a minimum base salary of $160,000, $170,000 and $180,000
for the calendar years 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Mr. Brink is eligible
to earn an annual year-end cash bonus ranging from 25% of base salary (if the
Company's actual pre-tax profits are at least 80% of the budgeted amount
therefor) to 75% of his base salary (if the Company's actual pre-tax profits are
120% or more of budget). The Company granted Mr. Brink incentive stock options
to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Company Common Stock at an exercise price of
$3.00 per share. Such options vest 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first
three anniversaries of the effective date. Mr. Brink receives normal and
customary employee benefits and fringe benefits, including a $750 per month car
allowance, county club membership and $2,500 per year for professional,
financial, legal and tax planning counsel. The Company may terminate the
Agreement on 60 days' notice for cause or upon twelve-months' notice without
cause. The Agreement terminates upon Mr. Brink's death or permanent disability.
If Mr. Brink is terminated for "cause," he will continue to receive his base
salary for up to 60 days, and be entitled to participate in certain benefit
programs at his expense for up to eighteen months. If Mr. Brink is terminated
without "cause," he will continue to receive his base salary for a period of up
to 24 months following such termination. If the Agreement is terminated due to
Mr. Brink's death or disability, Mr. Brink's base salary will continue to be
paid for a period of 18 months. If Mr. Brink's employment is terminated by
reason of his death, disability, without cause or in connection with a change of
control of the Company, he will receive a pro rated portion of any bonuses or
incentive payment, and the immediate vesting and acceleration of any unexpired
and unvested stock options previously granted. The Agreement gives Mr. Brink the
option to terminate the Agreement upon a change of control or business
combination, including the sale or merger of the Company. In such event, Mr.
Brink can elect to receive his base salary for the longer of the unexpired three
year term of the Agreement or 24 months, or in lieu thereof, a cash payment
equal to 2.99 times Mr. Brink's base salary, subject to reduction to prevent
such payment (together with any other payments considered contingent upon a
change of control) from constituting an excess parachute payment under
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Bridge Loan. On August 26, 1997, the Company borrowed $500,000 from
Brightbridge Fund I, L.P. ("Brightbridge"), a limited partnership of which
Brightstone Capital Limited LLC ("Brightstone") is the general partner and a 20%
limited partner. Brightstone is owned 50% by James Bernards, currently a
director of the Company, and 50% by George Kline, a shareholder and former
director of the Company. The loan, which was repaid in February 1998, bore
interest at 12% per annum. Brightbridge received five-year warrants to purchase
20,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share
and, because the loan was not repaid when due, became entitled to receive an
additional 5,000 warrants exercisable at $3.00 per share. The number of warrant
shares and exercise price were subject to adjustment based on the price at which
the Company sold units in the February 1998 private placement, and the parties
appointed a third party to make a binding determination with respect thereto. As
a result of such third party determination, Brightbridge was issued a warrant to
purchase 67,516 shares at an exercise price of $2.25 per share in exchange for
cancellation of the 20,000 share warrant previously issued to it.
Consulting. Mr. Bidwell has served as a consultant to the Company in
the area of capital raising, and also served as the Company's Chief Financial
Officer, Secretary and Treasurer from July 1997 to April 1999. Mr. Bidwell
received $189,750 of contingent consulting compensation in February 1998 upon
completion of the Company's debt and equity offerings, and also was reimbursed
$21,677 of out-of-pocket expenses incurred, which amounts were expensed by the
Company in 1997. Effective May 1, 1998, the Company and Mr. Bidwell entered into
a Consulting Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Bidwell served as a consultant to
the Company in the capacities described above and in the areas of acquisitions,
strategic planning, and selection and training of the Company's financial and
accounting personnel. Under the terms of such Agreement Mr. Bidwell received
monthly fees of $14,500 and was eligible to receive additional fees, based upon
a comparison of the Company's actual pre-tax profits with its budgeted pre-tax
profits, up to a maximum of $95,700 per year. Such Agreement was terminated
effective April 29, 1999 by mutual agreement.
Loan. The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Loren Brink,
received loans and advances from the Company from time to time during fiscal
1998. As of December 31, 1998, the total of all such loans, including interest
was $48,362.
Guarantee. Loren Brink gave a limited personal guarantee securing the
Company's Credit Facility. In May 1998, the Company's Compensation Committee
recommended, and the Board approved, the Company's payment to Mr.
Brink of $24,000 as compensation for giving such guarantee.
