providing for the employment of such individuals as Executive Vice President,
Senior Vice President - Counsel and Senior Vice President of Operations - Lone

has the option to extend the term annually for additional one year periods. Each
agreement contains non-competition, confidentiality and non-solicitation
provisions which apply for twenty-four months after cessation of employment.
Mr. Coulter has also entered into a non-competition, confidentiality
and non-solicitation agreement with the Company.
Severance Agreements
The Company has entered into a Change of Control Contract with Jamie
B. Coulter, dated as of January 3, 2001 that provides for severance pay and
incidental benefits if there is a change in control of the Company (as defined
in the Change of Control Contract). The payment is a lump sum payment equal to
2.99 times one year's annual compensation. The agreement also provides Mr.
Coulter with the right to replace all stock options whether vested or not with
fully vested stock options (all of Mr. Coulter's stock options are fully
vested), or alternatively the right to receive a cash payment for surrendering
the options equal to the difference between the full exercise price of each
option surrendered and the greater of the price per share paid by the acquirer
in the change of control transaction or the market price of the Company's Common
Stock on the date of the change of control. The benefits also include
transferring ownership of any Company automobile which is primarily used by Mr.
Coulter and life and medical insurance coverage for up to two years or such
longer period if previously agreed to. Finally, the agreement provides that if
any excise taxes are imposed on Mr. Coulter by Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company will make him whole.
The Company has also entered into Change of Control Contracts with Messrs.
White, Aaron, O'Connell and Bracken. Unlike Mr. Coulter's Change of Control
Contract, severance payments and benefits (other than the stock option benefit)
require a second event to occur within 730 days from the change of control
before severance payments are due. The second event includes any of the
following, involuntary termination (other than for cause, death or disability),
relocation or a diminution in the responsibility, authority or compensation of
the executive officer. If there is a change of control and any such second event
occurs, Messrs. White, Aaron, O'Connell and Bracken have the right to receive
benefits substantially similar to those described above.
