agreements set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Consultant and the Company agree as follows:
 
AGREEMENT
 
Section 1. Engagement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement, the Company retains Consultant as a consultant to provide
analysis, advice and other financial, strategic, business, acquisition and
consulting services including, but not limited to, the identification and
sourcing of capital to meet the needs of the Company (the “Services”).
 
Section 2. Consultant’s Duties and Obligations. Consultant agrees, during the
term of this Agreement, to provide the Services in a professional manner and to
provide such other consulting services as may be reasonably requested (upon
reasonable prior notice) from time to time by the Company in accordance with
this Agreement, including, without limitation, providing the services of
representatives of Consultant.
 
Section 3. Term.
 
(a) Expressly conditioned upon the closing (the “Closing”) under the Purchase
Agreement and effective as of the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”), the
Company hereby retains the Consultant and the Consultant hereby accepts
engagement as a consultant and agrees to render services to the Company, on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the period (the "Consulting
Period") beginning on the Closing Date and ending when such period is terminated
pursuant to the terms hereof. Unless earlier terminated by either the Company or
the Consultant as hereinafter provided, the Consulting Period shall continue
through the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date ("Expiration Date");
provided, however, that if this Agreement is renewed pursuant to Section 2.1(b)
below, then the “Expiration Date” for the then current “Renewal Term” (as
hereinafter defined) shall be the date that is last day of the one year period
of that Renewal Term). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary continued in
this Section 2.1(a), if the Closing under the Purchase Agreement does not occur,
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) This Agreement shall be automatically renewed for an additional one year
period commencing at the expiration of the Initial Term or any subsequent
renewal term (each, a "Renewal Term") unless the Company provides written notice
of termination to the Consultant not less than sixty (60) days prior to the
Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Consulting Period shall immediately terminate
prior to any Expiration Date (i) upon termination by Consultant for a “Good
Reason” (as hereinafter defined); (ii) upon termination by the Company for
“Cause” (as hereinafter defined); (iii) by mutual agreement of Consultant or the
Company; and (iv) in all other circumstances, thirty (30) days' prior written
notice is required by either party to the other to terminate this Agreement.
 
Section 4. Compensation; Expenses.
 
(a) Base Fee. As consideration for the provision of the Services, the Company
agrees to pay or to cause its Subsidiaries to pay to Consultant, during the term
of this Agreement, the following fees:
 
(i) During the Consulting Period, the Company shall pay the Consultant a fee of
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) per year ("Base Fee") paid in
approximately equal installments bi-weekly. The Company will review the Base Fee
on December 31 of each year of the Consulting Period in order to determine what
Base Fee adjustments, if any, shall be made, subject to an annual minimum
increase of five percent (5%), but in no event may the Base Fee be reduced below
that paid in the preceding year.
 
(ii) For calendar year 2006 (ending on or about December 31, 2006) and for each
other calendar year that begins during the Consulting Period (each such calendar
year, a "Bonus Year"), the Consultant shall be eligible to receive a bonus in an
amount and on such terms as are established by the Company's Board up to fifty
percent (50%) of the Base Fee (each, a "Bonus") in accordance with the bonus
plan or formula applicable to the Consultant. The 2006 Bonus will be prorated to
reflect that the 2006 Bonus Year is a partial year commencing on the Closing
Date and ending on December 31, 2006. In addition, Consultant shall be eligible
for any other bonus as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole
discretion. Any Bonus for an applicable calendar year, or portion thereof, shall
be paid to the Consultant no later than the conclusion of the first calendar
quarter following each calendar year.
 
(b) Referral Fee. If, during the term of this Agreement, Consultant identifies a
potential new client for the Company (other than the federal government, or any
agency or subdivision thereof), it shall promptly notify the Company in writing
specifying the name of the target, the extent of its contact and the date upon
which it has identified the potential client. Upon receipt of such notification,
the Company will promptly acknowledge receipt of the notification and either (i)
confirm to Consultant that it has identified a potential new client (each an
“Acknowledged New Target”), or (ii) if the Company has independently of the
Consultant already identified such potential client, it will advise Consultant
and give it the date of the Company's prior contact and the nature and extent
thereof. As to each Acknowledged New Target, the Consultant will cooperate with
the Company in broadening contact and establishing a dialogue. Any contracts
that are entered into between the Company and an Acknowledged New Target during
(i) the term of this Agreement, or (ii) within six (6) months after the
Expiration Date, or if sooner terminated, the Termination Date shall hereinafter
be referred to individually as a “Referred Contract” and collectively as the
“Referred Contracts.” Contracts entered into with an Acknowledged New Target
more than six (6) months after the Expiration Date (or Termination Date, as
applicable) shall not be deemed to be Referred Contracts. The Consultant shall
not identify potential clients on a blanket basis, but shall only identify
clients with which he has made specific contact and which appear to be viable
prospects for new business.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) For each Referred Contract the Company will pay Consultant a referral fee
equal to five percent (5%) of the “Gross Profits” (hereinafter defined) earned
by the Company in each fiscal year (for each Referred Contract the “Referral
Fee” and for all of the Referred Contracts the “Referral Fees”).
 
(ii) For purposes of this Section 3.6, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
 
(A) “Gross Profits” with respect to a Referred Contract shall mean the “Gross
Revenues” with respect to that Referred Contract (as defined below) less Cost of
Goods/Services Sold with respect to that Referred Contract.
 
(B) “Gross Revenues” with respect to any Referred Contract shall mean all
revenue derived by the Company under that Referred Contract from the rendering
of services and the sales of goods.
 
(C) “Cost of Goods/Serviced Sold” shall mean with respect to each Referred
Contract the direct costs of the Company incurred by the Company in connection
with generating the Gross Revenues which costs shall include, but not be limited
to (1) the labor and expense costs of the Company’s employees and consultants
(including allocable administrative costs); (2) direct vendor or supplier costs
and other costs of goods, used or incorporated in or otherwise delivered to the
customer under the Referred Contract (including shipping costs) and (3) the
costs of services rendered by third-party contractors.
 
(iii) The determination of Gross Profits, Gross Revenues and Cost of
Goods/Services Sold with respect to each Referred Contract shall be made by the
Company’s senior financial Consultant using generally accepted accounting
principles applied on the accrual basis of accounting and a basis consistent
with the manner in which the Company’s books and records are maintained.
 
(iv) The Referral Fee due with respect to each Referred Contract shall be
calculated annually, based on the Company’s fiscal year and in connection with
the preparation of the Company’s audited financials. Not later than ten (10)
days after the release of the Company’s audited financials for the immediately
preceding fiscal year the Company’s senior financial Consultant shall provide
Consultant with a statement (each “Referral Fee Statement”) setting forth the
calculation of the Referral Fees attributable to the Company’s immediately
preceding fiscal year in such reasonable detail as to permit Consultant to
review and confirm the accuracy of such calculations. The Company shall also
provide Consultant with reasonable access, subject to appropriate
confidentiality restrictions, to books and records appropriate to enable Seller
to review and verify such calculations. Consultant shall have fifteen (15) days
following delivery of a Referral Fee Statement (each a “Disagreement Notice
Period”) to disagree with Referral Fee Statement by written notice to the
Company setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and nature of the
disagreement (each a “Notice of Disagreement”). If the Company does not receive
a Notice of Disagreement from the Consultant within the Disagreement Notice
Period, the Consultant shall be conclusively presumed to agree with the Referral
Fee Statement and the Company shall promptly pay to the Consultant the Referral
Fees shown to be due on the Referral Fee Statement. If the Company receives a
Notice of Disagreement from the Consultant within the Disagreement Notice Period
and if the Company and the Consultant are unable to mutually agree upon a
settlement of the disagreement within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the
Notice of Disagreement to the Company, then the dispute shall be resolved
pursuant to Section 9.

A termination for Cause after a Change in Control shall be based only on events
occurring after such Change in Control; provided, however, the foregoing

discovered by the Company prior to a Change in Control. Cause shall be
determined in good faith by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole
Board of Directors (excluding any board member that may be affiliated with the
Consultant).
 
(ii) "Change in Control of the Company" means (A) a sale, transfer or exclusive
licensing by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of the

faith judgment of the Board) in any transaction or series of transactions (other
than sales in the ordinary course of business); (B) any sale, transfer or
issuance or series of sales, transfers and/or issuances of shares of the
Company's capital stock by the Company or any holders thereof which results in
any Person or Persons, other than the holders of Company’s capital stock as of
the date hereof, owning capital stock of the Company possessing the voting power
(under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Board of Directors;
(C) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the
Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which
would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately

the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or
such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation; or (D) the stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Company.
 
(iii) “Good Reason" shall mean termination by the Consultant due to: (a) the
failure of the Company to pay any installment of the Base Fee or Referral Fee
when such installment is due pursuant to this Agreement, which failure is not
cured within fifteen (15) days; or (b) any other breach or breaches of this
Agreement by the Company, which breaches are, singularly or in the aggregate,
material, and which are not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice of
such breach or breaches to the Company by the Consultant.
 
(b) Termination by the Company Other Than Cause or by the Consultant for a Good
Reason. In addition to the payment to the Consultant of the Base Fee, the
Referral Fees and the reimbursement of any applicable expenses pursuant to
Section 4(c) through the Date of Termination, if (i) the Consulting Period is
terminated (A) by the Company for reasons other than Cause, or (B) by the
Consultant for a Good Reason, or (C) in accordance with the terms of Section
3(b) hereof (provided the Company provides the requisite notice to the
Consultant to terminate prior to any Expiration Date); and (ii) the Consultant
executes a general release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Release") on or before the effective Date of Termination; and (iii) the
Consultant has not breached the terms of the “Assignment Agreement” (as defined
below); then the Company shall pay the Consultant an amount equal to the Base
Fee (at the rate in effect at the Date of Termination) for a period commencing
on the Date of Termination and on the Expiration Date; provided, however, that
if the Termination Date is within twelve (12) months of the Expiration Date,
then the Company shall pay the Consultant an amount equal to the Base Fee (at
the rate effective as of the Termination Date), for a period commencing on the
Termination Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Termination
Date. Any payment under this Section 5(b) shall be made over time as though the
Consultant continued to be retained by the Company.

damages, expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including

limitation, from any threatened, pending or completed actions or lawsuits
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by or in the right of
the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, arising from the performance of
the Services, except insofar as such may arise solely from the indemnified
party’s gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing (including intentional
violation of applicable national security requirements). The Company shall be
entitled to direct the defense of any claim for which Consultant alleges that it
is obligated to provide indemnification, at the Company’s expense, but such
defense shall be conducted by legal counsel mutually agreed to by the Company
and Consultant. The Company agrees to keep Consultant informed on a timely basis
of the status of all legal proceedings relating to this indemnification and
shall provide copies of all documents relating to the legal proceedings to
Consultant or, at Consultant’s request, its legal counsel. The Company further
agrees that it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding without the
prior written consent of Consultant. Consultant agrees to promptly notify the
Company of any proceeding or investigation which may be the subject of an
indemnity demand hereunder. The failure to provide such prompt notice shall not
affect the Company’s obligation to provide indemnity hereunder except to the
extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final
judgment that such failure primarily and directly adversely prejudiced in a
material respect the defense of the claim by the Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Expenses incurred in defending any threatened or pending civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the
Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding,
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay
such amount if it is ultimately determined, in a final non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction, that the indemnified party is not entitled
to be indemnified against such expenses solely as a result of the indemnified
party’s gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing. This undertaking by the
indemnified party shall be an unqualified general undertaking, and no security
for such undertaking will be required.
 
(c) All of Consultant’s and the other indemnified parties’ rights and
obligations under this Section 10 will continue even after this Agreement has
been terminated for any reason.

in light of the payments to be made by the Company to the Consultant hereunder
and for other good and valid reasons, as a result of the restrictions stated in
the Assignment Agreement and the Restrictions in Section 7 above, the Company
and its affiliated companies would sustain irreparable harm and, therefore, in
addition to any other remedies which the Company may have under this Agreement
or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for an injunction restraining the Consultant from committing or
continuing any such violation of this Agreement, and the Consultant shall not
object to such application.
 
Section 12. Nature of Consultant’s Undertaking: No Joint Venture or Partnership.

be construed to have created either a joint venture or a partnership for the
purpose of providing such Services.

EXHIBIT B
 
INVENTION ASSIGNMENT, NON-COMPETE
 
AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
 

The following confirms an Invention Assignment, Non-Compete and Confidentiality
Agreement ("Agreement") between Washington Capital Advisors, Inc. (“WCA”) and
Fortress International Group, a Maryland corporation (the "Company," which term
includes the Company’s Affiliates, subsidiaries and any assigns). The promises
and commitments that WCA makes in this Agreement are a material part of the
Company’s consideration in WCA’s consulting relationship with the Company.

1.
WCA understands and agrees that its engagement as a consultant to the Company
creates a duty of loyalty and a relationship of confidence and trust between it
and the Company with respect to any information made known to WCA by the Company
or by any client, customer or vendor of the Company or other person who submits
information to the Company, or which may be learned by me during the period of
its engagement.

 
2.
WCA recognizes that the Company is continuously engaged in activities that the
Company regards as confidential, proprietary and/or legally protectable, which
activities are at least in part intended to further the interests of the Company
and to provide the Company with a competitive advantage. The Company possesses
and will, in the future, continue to possess information that has been or will
be created, discovered, developed or otherwise becomes known to the Company
(including information created by, discovered or developed by, or made known to
WCA) during the period of or arising out of WCA’s engagement with the Company.
WCA understands that various intellectual and other property rights have been
assigned or otherwise conveyed to the Company. All information concerning the
above described activities and information is collectively called "Proprietary
Information" under this Agreement.

 
3.
By way of illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information includes:
trade secrets, processes, formulas, data and know-how; software programs,
improvements, and inventions; research and development plans, tools and
techniques; new product introduction plans, specifications, requirements
documents and strategies; manufacturing techniques, strategies and costs,
expenses, supplier information and lists and distribution information; terms and
conditions in contracts of all kinds; marketing plans, strategies and service;
support strategies and procedures; development schedules; revenue forecasts;
computer programs; copyrightable material, employee salaries, employee
expertise, employee ability levels, training programs and procedures, copies of
memos or presentations incorporating confidential information which WCA may have
in its files (including those authored by WCA or its employees and contractors),
patent applications and disclosures and customer lists.

 
4.
In consideration of WCA’s engagement by the Company and the compensation
received by WCA from the Company from time to time, WCA hereby agrees as
follows:

 

- 1 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(a)
All Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company, and the
Company shall be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights, trademarks and other
rights related to Proprietary Information. WCA hereby assigns to the Company any
rights WCA may have or acquire in Proprietary Information. At all times, both
during and after WCA’s engagement by the Company, WCA will keep in confidence
and trust all Proprietary Information, and WCA will not use or disclose any
Proprietary Information or anything related to it without written consent of the
Company, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing WCA’s
duties to the Company.

 

 
(b)
All documents, records, apparatus, equipment and other physical property,
whether or not pertaining to Proprietary Information, furnished to WCA by the
Company or produced by WCA or others in connection with their provision of
services to the Company shall be and remain the sole property of the Company,
shall be used by WCA solely for the benefit of the Company and shall be returned
to the Company immediately as and when requested by the Company. Even if the
Company does not so request, WCA shall return and deliver all such property to
the Company upon termination of WCA’s consulting engagement with the Company.
WCA will not take with WCA any such property or any form of copy or reproduction
of such property upon Consultant’s termination of the consulting relationship.

 

 
(c)
WCA will promptly disclose to the Company, or any persons designated by it, all
improvements, inventions, formulas, ideas, processes, techniques, know-how and
data, whether or not patentable, made or conceived or reduced to practice or
learned by WCA, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of WCA’s
consulting engagement (all said improvements, inventions, formulas, ideas,
processes, techniques, know-how and data shall be hereinafter collectively call
"Inventions").

 

 
(d)
WCA agrees that all Inventions that WCA develops or has developed (in whole or
in part, either alone or jointly with others) and (i) use or has used equipment,
supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the Company, or (ii) use or
has used the hours for which WCA is to be or was compensated by the Company, or
(iii) which relate to the business of the Company or to its actual or
demonstrably anticipated research and development or (iv) which result, in whole
or in part, from work performed by WCA for the Company shall be the sole
property of the Company and its assigns, and the Company and its assigns shall
be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights and other rights in connection
therewith. WCA hereby assigns to the Company any rights WCA may have or acquire
in such Inventions. WCA further agree as to all such inventions and improvements
to assist the Company in every proper way (but at the Company’s expense) to
obtain and from time to time enforce patents, copyrights or other rights on said
inventions and improvements in any and all countries, and to that end WCA will
execute all documents in use for applying for and obtaining such patents and
copyrights thereon and enforcing same, as the Company may desire, together with
any assignments thereof to the Company or persons designated by it. WCA’s
obligation to assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing patents, copyrights
or other rights for such inventions and improvements in any and all countries
shall continue beyond the termination of WCA’s consulting engagement with the
Company, but the Company shall compensate WCA at a reasonable rate after such
termination for time actually spent by WCA at the Company’s request on such
assistance.

 

- 2 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(e)
In the event that the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure
WCA’s signature to any lawful and necessary document required to apply for or
execute any patent, copyright or other applications with respect to such
inventions and improvements (including renewals, extensions, continuations,
divisions or continuations in part thereof), WCA hereby irrevocably designates
and appoints the Company and its authorized officers and agents, as Consultant’s
agents and attorneys-in-fact, this power of attorney being coupled with an
interest, to act for and in its behalf and instead of WCA, to execute and file
any such application and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
prosecution and issuance of patents, copyrights or other rights thereon with the
same legal force and effect as if executed by WCA.

 

 
(f)
WCA represents that its performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not
breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by
WCA in confidence or in trust prior to its engagement with the Company. WCA has
not entered into, and WCA agrees that WCA will not enter into, any agreement
either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement.

 

 
(g)
WCA acknowledges that the Company from time to time may be involved in
government projects of a classified nature. WCA further acknowledges that the
Company from time to time may have agreements with other persons or governmental
agencies which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding
inventions made during the course of work thereunder or regarding the
confidential nature of such work or information disclosed in connection
therewith. WCA agrees to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions and
to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company
thereunder.

 

 
(h)
WCA represents and warrant that execution of this Agreement, its engagement as a
consultant to the Company and its performance of its consulting responsibilities
to the Company in the development of its business have not and will not violate
any obligations which WCA may otherwise have.

 

 
(i)
WCA agrees that at no time during its engagement as a consultant to the Company
or thereafter shall WCA make, or cause or assist any other person to make, any
statement or other communication to any third party which impugns or attacks, or
is otherwise critical of, the reputation, business or character of the Company
or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers or
employees.

 
5.
This Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of Consultant’s engagement
by the Company.

 
6.
This Agreement may not be changed, modified, released, discharged, abandoned or
otherwise amended, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing,
signed by WCA and a majority of the members of the Board. WCA agrees that any
subsequent change or changes in WCA’s duties or compensation shall not affect
the validity or scope of this Agreement.

 

- 3 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.
WCA acknowledges receipt of this Agreement and agrees that with respect to the
subject matter hereof it is its final, complete and exclusive agreement with the
Company, superseding any previous oral or written representations, understanding
or agreements with the Company or any officer or representative with respect to
the subject matter herein.

 
8.
In the event that any paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall be held to
be illegal or unenforceable, such paragraph or provision shall be modified to
the extent necessary to give effect to the intent of the parties or, if
necessary, severed from this Agreement and the entire Agreement shall not fail
on account thereof, but shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

 
9.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Maryland without regard to its choice of law principles.

 
10.
This Agreement shall be binding upon WCA and its successors and assigns and
shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.

 
WCA acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions contained in Section 4 are
reasonable in all respects including the scope, duration and geographic
limitations. WCA agrees that the restrictions are an appropriate means of
protecting the Company’s legitimate business interests, and no greater than
necessary to protect the Company’s interests.
