Company hereby employ Executive as president and chief executive officer during
the Employment Term, as hereinafter defined. As president and chief executive
officer of LCG, Executive shall have the duties and responsibilities associated
with the president and chief executive officer of a public corporation. In
addition, Executive will assist LCG and the Company in identifying and training
her successor. Executive shall report to LCG's board of directors (the "Board").
Executive shall also perform such other duties and responsibilities as may be
determined by the Board, as long as such duties and responsibilities are
consistent with those of the president and chief executive officer.
(b) During the Employment Term, LCG shall include Executive as one of the
board of directors' nominees for election as a director, and, if elected as a
director, Executive shall serve as chair of the board. Additionally, Executive
shall serve as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, if elected,
and in such executive capacity or capacities with respect to any affiliate of
LCG or the Company to which she may be elected or appointed, provided that such
duties are consistent with those of LCG's and the Company's president and chief
executive officer. Executive shall receive no additional compensation for
services rendered pursuant to this Section 1(b). An affiliate of LCG or the
Company shall mean any person who controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with LCG or the Company, as the case may be.
(c) The "Employment Term" shall mean the period commencing on the date of
this Agreement and ending eighteen (18) months from the date of this Agreement,
unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement.
(d) Immediately following the Employment Term, unless this Agreement is
terminated by LCG or the Company pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement,
Executive shall serve as a consultant to the Company during the Consulting Term.
The "Consulting Term" shall mean the eighteen (18) month period immediately
following the expiration or termination of the Employment Term. The Employment

such time to her services for LCG and the Company as she may determine as long
as Executive devotes at least 40 hours per month to her services for the Company
and LCG, it being understood that the services being rendered during the
Consulting Term shall not be Executive's principal activity and that Executive
may engage in such business, charitable and personal activities as she may
determine, subject to the provisions of Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement.
In rendering services during the Consulting Term, LCG and the Company shall not
require Executive to perform services which would unreasonably interfere with
her other business, charitable and personal activities or which would require
her to return from or change her plans for any vacations, and, if she so elects,
Executive may perform such services from her residence. During the Consulting
Term, Executive shall not be an officer of LCG or the Company; however, she may
continue to serve as a director for the balance of her then current term and, if
elected as a director thereafter, she shall serve as a director without
additional compensation.

duties under this Agreement.

bonus shall be paid within 30 days of the completion of the audit for the year
for which the bonus relates.

regular duties for a period of two consecutive months or three months, even

Standards law shall not be counted toward such three or two month periods.
(c) The Company may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment
and consulting relationship pursuant to this Agreement immediately for Cause, in

(i) The Company shall pay to Executive within 30 days after the date of
her termination an amount equal to the her Salary for the balance, if any, of

Consulting Term;

during the Employment Term, the Company shall pay to Executive, at the time that
bonuses are awarded to executive officers, such percentage of the bonus that
would otherwise have been given to Executive for the fiscal year in which such
termination occurred based on percentage that the number of whole or partial
months during the fiscal year that she was employed by the Company bears to the
total number of whole or partial months during which she would have been
employed during such fiscal year if her employment had not been terminated.
(iv) The restrictions set forth in Section 7(a) of this Agreement shall
terminate immediately.
6. Trade Secrets and Proprietary Information.
(a) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the Company, through the
expenditure of considerable time and money, has developed and will continue to
develop in the future information concerning customers, clients, marketing,
products, services, business, research and development activities and
operational methods of the Company and its customers or clients, contracts,
financial or other data, technical data or any other confidential or proprietary
information possessed, owned or used by the Company, the disclosure of which
could or does have a material adverse effect on the Company, its businesses, any
business in which it proposes to engage, its operations, financial condition or
prospects and that the same are confidential and proprietary and considered
"confidential
-4-
information" of the Company for the purposes of this Agreement. In consideration
of her employment during the Employment Term and her engagement as a consultant
during the Consulting Term, Executive agrees that she will not, during or after
the Term, without the consent of the Board make any disclosure of confidential
information to any person, partnership, corporation or entity either during or
after the Term, except that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
prohibit Executive from using or disclosing (a) if such disclosure is necessary
in the normal course of the Company's business in accordance with policies or
instructions or authorization from the Board, (b) Executive can demonstrate that
such information shall have (i) become public knowledge other than by or as a
result of disclosure by a person not having a right to make such disclosure,
(ii) been developed by Executive independent of any of the Company's
confidential or proprietary information or (iii) been disclosed to Executive by
a person not subject to a confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of
confidentiality to the Company.
(b) In the event that any confidential information is required to be
produced by Executive pursuant to legal process, Executive shall give the
Company notice of such legal process within a reasonable time, but not later
than ten business days prior to the date such disclosure is to be made, unless
Executive has received less notice, in which event Executive shall immediately
notify the Company. The Company shall have the right to object to any such
disclosure, and if the Company objects (at the Company's cost and expense) in a
timely manner so that Executive is not subject to penalties for failure to make
such disclosure, Executive shall not make any disclosure until there has been a
court determination on the Company's objections. If disclosure is required by a
court order, final beyond right of review, or if the Company does not object to
the disclosure, Executive shall make disclosure only to the extent that
disclosure is required by the court order, and Executive will exercise
reasonable efforts at the Company's expense, to obtain reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.
(c) Executive shall, upon expiration or termination of the Term, or
earlier at the request of the Company, turn over to the Company or destroy all
documents, papers, computer disks or other material in Executive's possession or
under Executive's control which may contain or be derived from confidential
information. To the extent that any confidential information is on Executive's
hard drive or other storage media, she shall, upon the request of the Company,
cause either such information to be erased from her computer disks and all other
storage media or otherwise take reasonable steps to maintain the confidential
nature of the material.
(d) Executive further realizes that any trading in LCG's common stock or
other securities or aiding or assisting others in trading in LCG's common stock
or other securities, including disclosing any non-public information concerning
LCG and the Company to a person who uses such information in trading in LCG's
common stock or other securities, constitutes a violation of federal and state
securities laws. Executive will not engage in any transactions involving LCG's
common stock or other securities while in the possession of material non-public
information.
(e) For the purposes of Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement, the term
"Company" shall include LCG, the Company, their subsidiaries and affiliates.
7. Covenant Not To Solicit or Compete.
(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement until two years
following the date on which Executive's employment or consulting relationship is
terminated, Executive will not, directly or indirectly:
-5-
(i) persuade or attempt to persuade any person or entity which is or was a
customer, client or supplier of the Company to cease doing business with the
Company, or to reduce the amount of business it does with the Company (the terms
"customer" and "client" as used in this Section 7 to include any potential
customer or client to whom the Company submitted bids or proposals, or with whom
the Company conducted negotiations, during the term of Executive's employment or
consulting relationship hereunder or during the twelve (12) months preceding the
termination of her employment or consulting relationship, as the case may be);
(ii) solicit for herself or any other person or entity other than the

Company; or
(iv) engage in any business in the United States whether as an officer,
director, consultant, partner, guarantor, principal, agent, employee, advisor or
in any manner, which directly competes with the business of the Company as it is
engaged in at the time of the termination of this Agreement, unless, at the time
of such termination or thereafter during the period that the Executive is bound
by the provisions of this Section 7, the Company ceases to be engaged in such
activity, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7 shall be construed
to prohibit the Executive from owning an interest of not more than five (5%)
percent of any public company engaged in such activities.
(b) Executive will not, during or after the Term, make any disparaging
statements concerning the Company, its business, officers, directors and
employees that could injure, impair, damage or otherwise affect the relationship

suppliers, customers, clients or any other person with which the Company has or
may conduct business or otherwise have a business relationship of any kind and
description. The Company will not make any disparaging statements concerning
Executive; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to
prohibit the Company from giving factual information concerning Executive in

(c) The Executive acknowledges that the restrictive covenants (the
"Restrictive Covenants") contained in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement are a

Restrictive Covenants, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the
Restrictive Covenants and parts thereof shall not thereby be affected and shall
remain in full force and effect, without regard to the invalid portion. If any
court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is
invalid or unenforceable because of the geographic or temporal scope of such
provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the geographic or temporal
scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such
provision shall then be enforceable.
8. Inventions and Discoveries. Executive agrees promptly to disclose in
writing to the Company any invention, design, system, process, development or
other discovery or intellectual property (collectively, "inventions and

or developed by herself or with others, whether during or after working hours,
in any
-6-
business in which the Company is then engaged or which otherwise relates to any
product or service dealt in by the Company and such inventions and discoveries
shall be the Company's sole property, regardless of whether such inventions and
discoveries are otherwise treated as work performed for hire and regardless of
whether such inventions and discoveries are or can be patented, registered or
copyrighted. Upon the Company's request, Executive shall execute and assign to
the Company all applications for copyrights, trademarks and letters patent of
the United States and such foreign countries as the Company may designate, and
Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company such other instruments as the
Company deems necessary to vest in the Company the sole ownership of all rights,
title and interest in and to such inventions and discoveries, as well as all
copyrights and/or patents. Executive shall also give the Company all assistance
it may reasonably require, including the giving of testimony in any suit,
action, investigation or other proceeding in connection with the foregoing.
9. Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees that her violation or threatened
violation of any of the provisions of Sections 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement shall
cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Company. In the event of any breach
or threatened breach of any of said provisions, Executive consents to the entry
of preliminary and permanent injunctions by a court of competent jurisdiction
prohibiting Executive from any violation or threatened violation of such
provisions and compelling Executive to comply with such provisions. This Section
9 shall not affect or limit, and the injunctive relief provided in this Section
9 shall be in addition to, any other remedies available to the Company at law or
in equity or in arbitration for any such violation by Executive. In the event an
injunction is issued against any such violation by Executive, the period
referred to in Section 7 of this Agreement shall continue until the later of the
expiration of the period set forth therein or one (1) month from the date a
final judgment enforcing such provisions is entered and the time for appeal has
lapsed. Subject to Section 7(c) of this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 6,
7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement and
Executive's employment and consulting relationship pursuant to this Agreement.

a writing which expressly refers to this Agreement, states that it is intended
to be a modification, amendment or waiver and is signed by both parties in the
case of a modification or amendment or by the party granting the waiver. No

Agreement.
