EXHIBIT 10.20

                        CORRECTION TO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT
                               OF JEFFREY LITTLE

      Mr. Robert Kelly and Mr. Jeffrey Little hereby acknowledge that Paragraph
5 of the Employment Contract signed on the 13th day of December, 1999, was
incorrect, and both parties agree that paragraph 5 should read as follows:

      5. STOCK OPTION.

            (a) The Corporation hereby grants Employee an option (the "Option")
to purchase up to 600,000 shares of Common Stock. The Option will be a stock
option that does not qualify as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (i.e., a non-qualified stock
option).

            (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Option shall
be exercisable, on a cumulative basis, at the times and prices as follows:

  (i)   up to 200,000 of the total shares subject to the Option may be purchased
        by Employee on or after the first anniversary of Employee's start date
        at the price defined in paragraph 5(b)(iv) herein;
  (ii)  up to an additional 200,000 shares of the total shares subject to the
        Option may be purchased by Employee on or after the second anniversary
        of Employee's start date at the price defined in paragraph 5(b)(iv)
        herein plus one dollar; and
  (iii) the balance of the total number of shares subject to the Option may be
        purchased by Employee on or after the third anniversary of Employee's
        start date at the price defined in paragraph 5(b)(iv) plus two dollars.
  (iv)  Option price shall be defined as the calculated average closing price
        for the last thirty (30) days of trading prior to Employee's start date.

      Subject to earlier termination as described below, the Option shall expire
ten years from the effective date of this contract.

      Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, if the
employment of the Employee with the Corporation shall terminate by reason of
Employee's death, permanent disability (as defined herein), by the Corporation
for any other reason than for "cause" (as defined herein), the Option shall
immediately become exercisable by Employee (or Employee's legal representative,
beneficiary or estate, as the case may be), for any and all of such number of
shares subject to the Option, at any time up to and including six (6) months
after the effective date of such termination of employment. If the employment of
Employee with Corporation shall terminate for any reason other than that
provided in the immediately preceding sentence, including, without limitation,
termination by the Corporation for "cause" (as described herein) or termination
by Employee for any reason other than Good Reason, the Option shall terminate
and become null and void, as of the effective date of such termination.

      In the event of a Change in Control (as defined below), the Option shall
immediately become exercisable for any or all of such number of shares subject
to the Option. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" means the
occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any person or entity (with the
exception of Odyssey Partners, L.P., or any successors, subsidiary or affiliate
thereof) acquires 50% or more of




the voting securities of the Corporation; (ii) the shareholders approve a plan
of complete liquidation, an agreement for sale or disposition of substantially
all of the Corporation's assets (other than to Odyssey Partners, L.P., or any
successors, subsidiary or affiliate thereof), or materially dilutive merger or
consolidation of the Corporation; or (iii) the Board of Directors agrees by a
two-thirds vote that Change in Control has occurred or is about to occur and
within six months actually does occur. However, for purposes hereof, no Change
in Control would be deemed to occur with respect to any employee who is a
material equity participant of the purchasing group that consummates a Change in
Control.

            (c) Subject to the limitations on exercise provided in the
Agreement, the Option shall be exercised by Employee as to all or part of the
shares covered thereby by giving written notice of exercise to the Corporation,
specifying the number of shares to be purchased (unless the number purchased is
the total balance for which the Option is then exercisable; provided, however,
that in no event shall the Option be exercised for a fraction of a share or for
less than 100 shares) and specifying a business day not more than 10 days from
the date such notice is given for the payment of the purchase price against
delivery of the shares being purchased. On the date specified in the notice of
exercise the Corporation shall deliver such shares to Employee and Employee
shall deliver to the Corporation immediately available funds in an amount equal
to the aggregate purchase price for such shares.

            (d) If the Corporation (1) pays a stock dividend on its Common
Stock, (2) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, (3) combines its outstanding shares into a smaller number of
shares, or (4) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its
capital stock, then the number and kind of shares into which the Option granted
to Employee under Paragraph 5(a) hereof is exercisable shall be adjusted so that
Employee upon exercise of the Option shall be entitled to receive the kind and
number of shares of the Corporation that Employee would have owned or have been
entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had
the Option been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or
any record date with respect hereto. The exercise price for the Option shall be
adjusted by the inverse of any such adjustment to the number of shares into
which the Option is exercisable. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph
(d) shall become effective on the date of the dividend payment, subdivision,
combination or issuance retroactive to the record date with respect thereto, if
any, for such event. The adjustment to the number of shares into which the
Option is exercisable described in this paragraph (d) shall be made each time
any event listed in clauses (1) through (4) of this paragraph (d) occurs.
