efforts to
the business and affairs of the Company, as now or hereafter
conducted, and shall be at all times subject to the direction and
control of the
Board of Directors of the Company or of the
Parent, or of the President of the
Company. Employee
shall not engage in any other business, profession or
occupation which would conflict or interfere with the rendition of

the business now or hereafter conducted by
the Company, without
the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the

prior to the effective date of this
Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Employee acknowledges

time-to-time may
include such reasonable travel outside of Louisville, Kentucky
consistent with past
practices of the Company, as the performance of Employee's
duties may
require. Employee shall not be required to relocate to any
other
location.
4.
Compensation.
-------------
(a) As full compensation for all services provided for
herein, the
Company will pay, or
cause to be paid, to Employee, and Employee will accept, a
base salary (as
increased from time to time, the "Base Salary") during the Term
at an annual rate of
$133,500, provided that as of each anniversary of the date
of this Agreement, the
Base Salary shall be increased by an amount equal to the
annual percentage
increase in the "All-Urban" consumer price index published by
the United
States Bureau of Labor
Statistics for the Louisville, Kentucky area
for the immediately preceding 12-month period (or, if
such index is no longer
published, by
an amount equal to the annual percentage increase
in the most
closely comparable
index). The Board of Directors shall review Employee's
performance annually
and may, in its sole
discretion, increase the Base Salary
by an amount greater than that provided for in the preceding
sentence. The Base
Salary shall
be paid in regular installments in
accordance with the Company's
usual paying
practices,
but not less frequently than monthly.
(b)
During the Term of this Agreement, Employee shall be provided a
monthly car allowance of Four Hundred Dollars ($400.00) for costs
related to the
use by Employee of his own car for the Company's
business, including, but not
limited to,
repairs, maintenance, and fuel costs.
(c) In addition to the compensation set forth in
subparagraphs (a)
and (b) of this Paragraph 4, Employee
shall be entitled to an annual incentive
bonus, which
amount shall be computed as follows: for
each fiscal year during
the Term, or any pro rated portion thereof, Employee shall be
entitled to
participate in
a bonus pool, to be
distributed among employees of the Company,
which shall
consist of an aggregate amount equal to five
(5)% of the Pre-Tax
Income of the Company.
"Pre-Tax Income" shall
mean the net income generated by
the Company
(exclusive of any
extraordinary gains, extraordinary losses or any
interest expense),
as set forth in the financial statements of the
Company,
determined in
accordance
with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
consistently applied,
and which shall include an agreed upon allocation of
administrative and
overhead costs of the Parent.
The Employee
shall participate equally with other
members of senior
management of the
Parent in the determination of the amount of the distribution
from the bonus pool. Such payment shall be
made within ten (10) days following
completion of
the annual audit of
the Company's financial statements, and with
regard to that period remaining in the Term after
the conclusion of the final
complete fiscal
year of the Term (the "Stub Period"),
within forty-five (45)
days after the end of the Stub Period. Pre-Tax Income for the Stub Period
shall
be taken from the unaudited financial statements of the Company.
The
Base Salary and any bonus payments will
be subject to such deductions
by the Company as the
Company is from time to time required to make pursuant to
law, government
regulations
or order or by agreement with, or consent of,
Employee. Such
payments may be made by check or checks of the Company or any
of
its parent,
subsidiaries
or affiliates as the
Company may, from time to time,
find proper
and appropriate.

Vacation. During
the Term, Employee
shall be entitled to vacations
---------
in accordance
with past practice of the Company prior to the date of

which may
hereafter, during
the Term, be offered to its executive and/or
non-executive
employees on
a company wide basis (including group life insurance, group
disability insurance,
group medical and hospitalization plans, pension and
profit sharing
plans). During the Term, Employee shall be
entitled to medical
and hospitalization
coverage for himself,
his spouse, and dependents under the
Company's existing
medical plan (including prescription drug coverage) pursuant
to which he currently has coverage.
The
Company shall pay the premiums for
the foregoing
coverage consistent
with its policies then in effect, as amended
from time to time.
In the event the
Company fails to provide such coverage, or
such coverage is otherwise unavailable, then the Company shall
provide Employee,
his spouse,
and dependents with at least equivalent coverage (including
healthcare provider
choices, deductibles, co-pays, etc.).
(b) From and after the date of this Agreement, the term
"compensation" as
used in any pension or
profit sharing plan maintained by the
Company shall
include only the Base Salary (exclusive of any
bonus payments)
payable hereunder,
unless the plan or applicable law provides otherwise.
