2.       EMPLOYMENT TERMS AND DUTIES

2.1.     EMPLOYMENT

Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment by
Employer, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2.2.     TERM

Subject to the provisions of Section 6, the term of Executive's employment under
this Agreement will be five (5) years (the "Employment Period"), beginning on
the Effective Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective
Date, unless extended in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.3.     DUTIES

Executive will have such duties as are assigned or delegated to Executive by the
Board of Directors of Employer, and will initially serve as Chief Executive
Officer of Employer and of AccuPoll. Executive will devote his entire business
time, attention, skill, and energy exclusively to the business of Employer and
AccuPoll, will use his best efforts to promote the success of Employer's and
AccuPoll's business, and will cooperate fully with the Board of Directors in the
advancement of the best interests of Employer and AccuPoll. If Executive is
elected as a director of Employer or as a director or officer of any of its
affiliates, Executive will fulfill his duties as such director or officer
without additional compensation.

3.       COMPENSATION

3.1.     BASIC COMPENSATION

(a)      SALARY. Executive will be paid an annual base salary of $115,000.00,
         subject to adjustment as provided below (the "Salary"), which will be
         payable in equal periodic installments according to Employer's
         customary payroll practices, but no less frequently than monthly. The
         Salary will be reviewed by the Board of Directors not less frequently
         than annually, and shall be increased on each anniversary of the
         Effective Date during the term hereof by an amount equal to not less
         than ten percent (10%) of the prior year's base salary.

(b)      BENEFITS. Executive will, during the Employment Period, be permitted to
         participate in such pension, profit sharing, bonus, life insurance,
         hospitalization, major medical, and other employee benefit plans of
         Employer or AccuPoll that may be in effect from time to time, to the
         extent Executive is eligible under the terms of those plans
         (collectively, the "Benefits").


                                       3
<PAGE>

(c)      STOCK OPTIONS. Executive shall be entitled to participate in Employer's
         2002 Management Stock Incentive Plan (or an equivalent plan granting
         incentive stock options to employees of Employer) (the "Stock Option
         Plan"). Employer shall put the Stock Option Plan into effect as soon as
         practicable (in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors
         of Employer) after the date hereof. The Stock Option Plan shall,
         subject to applicable law, be allocated not less than 3,000,000 shares
         of common stock subject to grants under thereunder, and Executive shall
         be entitled to receive annual option grants at least equal to the
         average number of options granted to all other members of management.
         All of Executive's options granted under the Stock Option Plan shall
         vest immediately upon a Change in Control of Employer or AccuPoll.

3.2      BONUS COMPENSATION

In addition to Executive's Salary, Executive shall be entitled to receive an
annual bonus to be determined by Employer's compensation committee (the
"Compensation Committee"), in an amount not in excess of 100% of the
then-applicable Salary for each year in which Executive is employed hereunder
and meets the performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee.
Such bonus, if any, shall be payable within thirty (30) days after Employer's
independent accountants have made a determination of Executive's entitlement to
such bonus, applying generally accepted accounting principles consistently
applied. Such determination shall be made not later than ninety (90) days after
the end of each Contract Year during the term hereof. In the event that
Executive shall, in good faith, disagree with such determination, Executive may
retain separate independent accountants at his own cost to make a separate
determination of Executive's entitlement to such bonus. In the event that, as a
result of such separate determination, Employer and Executive are unable to
agree on the amount of such bonus, then such controversy shall be arbitrated, in
front of a single arbitrator, according to the rules of the American Arbitration
Association, as such rules are then in effect in Los Angeles, California. The
decision of the arbitrator shall be final, and each party's costs relating to
the arbitration (including legal and accounting fees and the cost of the
arbitration, but not including the accounting costs to each party incurred in
making each initial determination of bonus entitlement) shall be paid by the
party whose initial bonus determination is the most divergent from the
arbitrator's bonus determination. In the event that the amount of the
arbitrator's determination shall be halfway between the disputed initial
determinations, then Executive and Employer shall each pay their own costs in
connection with the arbitration and shall share equally the costs of the
arbitration itself.

4.       FACILITIES AND EXPENSES

4.1.     GENERAL

Employer will pay on behalf of Executive (or reimburse Executive for) reasonable
expenses (including business-class travel) incurred by Executive at the request
of, or on behalf of, Employer in the performance of Executive's duties pursuant
to this Agreement, and in accordance with Employer's employment policies,
including reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in attending conventions,
seminars, and other business meetings, in appropriate business entertainment
activities, and for promotional expenses. Executive must file expense reports
with respect to such expenses in accordance with Employer's policies.



<PAGE>

5.       VACATIONS AND HOLIDAYS

Executive will be entitled to paid vacation each Fiscal Year in accordance with
the vacation policies of Employer in effect for its executive officers from time
to time, but in no event less than two (2) weeks per year. Vacation must be
taken by Executive at such time or times as reasonably approved by the Chairman
of the Board or Chief Executive Officer. Executive will also be entitled to the
paid holidays set forth in Employer's policies. Vacation days (but not holidays)
during any Fiscal Year that are not used by Executive during such Fiscal Year
may be carried over to the following Fiscal Year, provided, however, that no
additional vacation days shall accrue so long as Executive is then entitled to
four weeks accrued vacation.

6.       TERMINATION

6.1.     EVENTS OF TERMINATION

The Employment Period and Executive's Basic Compensation, and any and all other
rights of Executive under this Agreement or otherwise as an employee of Employer
will terminate (except as otherwise provided in this Section 6):

(a)      upon the death of Executive;

(b)      upon the Disability of Executive (as defined in Section 6.2) upon
         thirty (30) days notice from either party to the other;

(c)      for Cause (as defined in Section 6.3), immediately upon notice from
         Employer to Executive, or at such later time as such notice may
         specify; or

         days' prior notice from Executive to Employer.



                                       5
<PAGE>

6.2.     DEFINITION OF DISABILITY

For purposes of Section 6.1, Executive will be deemed to have a "disability" if,
for physical or mental reasons, Executive is unable to perform Executive's
duties under this Agreement for 45 consecutive days, or 90 days during any
twelve month period, as determined in accordance with this Section 6.2. The
disability of Executive will be determined by a medical doctor mutually agreed
upon by Employer and Executive (or Executive's legal guardian or duly authorized
attorney-in-fact will act in Executive's stead, in the event Executive is not
legally competent) upon the request of Employer. The determination of such
medical doctor will be binding on both parties. Executive must submit to a
reasonable number of examinations by the medical doctor making the determination
of disability under this Section 6.2, and Executive hereby authorizes the
disclosure and release to Employer of such determination and all supporting
medical records. If Executive is not legally competent, Executive's legal
guardian or duly authorized attorney-in-fact will act in Executive's stead,
under this Section 6.2, for the purposes of submitting Executive to the
examinations, and providing the authorization of disclosure, required under this
Section 6.2.

6.3.     DEFINITION OF "FOR CAUSE"

For purposes of Section 6.1, the phrase "for cause" means: (a) the conviction
of, or the entering of a guilty plea or plea of no contest with respect to, a
felony, or the equivalent thereof, involving moral turpitude, or (b) willful and
materially wrongful or grossly negligent actions that result in material damage
to Employer or AccuPoll.

6.4.     DEFINITION OF "FOR GOOD REASON"

For purposes of Section 6.1, the phrase "for good reason" means any of the
following: (a) Employer's material breach of this Agreement; (b) the assignment
of Executive without his consent to a position, responsibilities, or duties of a
materially lesser status or degree of responsibility than his position,
responsibilities, or duties at the Effective Date, (c) the relocation of
Executive's place of employment more than 30 miles from its current location
without Executive's consent, or (d) a reduction in Executive's base salary or
material reduction in his benefits.

6.5.     TERMINATION PAY

Effective upon the termination of this Agreement, Employer will be obligated to
pay Executive (or, in the event of his death, his designated beneficiary as
defined below) only such compensation as is provided in this Section 6.5, and in
lieu of all other amounts and in settlement and complete release of all claims
Executive may have against Employer for any amounts due and owing to Executive,
as an employee, under this agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.5,
Executive's designated beneficiary will be such individual beneficiary or trust,
located at such address, as Executive may designate by notice to Employer from
time to time or, if Executive fails to give notice to Employer of such a
beneficiary, Executive's estate. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
Employer will have no duty, in any circumstances, to attempt to open an estate
on behalf of Executive, to determine whether any beneficiary designated by


                                       6
<PAGE>

Executive is alive or to ascertain the address of any such beneficiary, to
determine the existence of any trust, to determine whether any person or entity
purporting to act as Executive's personal representative (or the trustee of a
trust established by Executive) is duly authorized to act in that capacity, or
to locate or attempt to locate any beneficiary, personal representative, or
trustee.

(a)      TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON OR BY EMPLOYER WITHOUT CAUSE.
         If Executive terminates this Agreement for good reason, or if Employer
         terminates Executive without Cause (other than by reason of Executive's
         death or Disability), Employer will pay Executive a lump-sum severance
         payment in an amount equal to Executive's then current annual Salary,
         and shall provide all benefits to which Executive is entitled
         immediately prior to such termination for a period of 12 months
         following the date of termination (or reimburse Executive for all costs
         incurred by Executive in obtaining comparable benefits).

(b)      TERMINATION BY EMPLOYER FOR CAUSE. If Employer terminates this
         Agreement for cause, Executive will be entitled to receive his Salary
         only through the date such termination is effective, and will not be
         entitled to any other compensation for the Fiscal Year during which
         such termination occurs or any subsequent Fiscal Year.

(c)      TERMINATION UPON DISABILITY. If this Agreement is terminated by either
         party as a result of Executive's disability, as determined under
         Section 6.2, Employer will pay Executive his Salary, and shall provide
         Executive with all benefits to which Executive is entitled immediately
         prior to such termination, through the remainder of the calendar month
         during which such termination is effective and for the three
         consecutive months thereafter.

(d)      TERMINATION UPON DEATH. If this Agreement is terminated because of
         Executive's death, Executive will be entitled to receive his Salary
         through the end of the calendar month in which his death occurs.

(e)      BENEFITS. Except as provided in paragraphs (a) and (c) above,
         Executive's accrual of, or participation in plans providing for, the
         Benefits will cease at the effective date of the termination of this
         Agreement, and Executive will be entitled to accrued Benefits pursuant
         to such plans only as provided in such plans. Executive will not
         receive, as part of his termination pay pursuant to this Section 6, any
         payment or other compensation for any holiday, sick leave, or other
         leave unused on the date the notice of termination is given under this
         Agreement, but will be entitled to be paid for any accrued but unused
         vacation days, up to a maximum of twenty (20) accrued vacation days.

7.       NON-DISCLOSURE COVENANT; EMPLOYEE INVENTIONS

7.1.     ACKNOWLEDGMENTS BY THE EXECUTIVE

Executive acknowledges that (a) during the Employment Period and as a part of
his employment, Executive will be afforded access to Confidential Information;
(b) public disclosure of such Confidential Information could have an adverse
effect on Employer and its business; (c) the Employer has required that
Executive make the covenants in this Section 7; and (d) the provisions of this
Section 7 are reasonable and necessary to prevent the improper use or disclosure
of Confidential Information.

7.2.     AGREEMENTS OF THE EXECUTIVE

In consideration of the compensation and benefits to be paid or provided to
Executive by Employer under this Agreement, Executive covenants as follows:

(a)      CONFIDENTIALITY.

(1)      During and following the Employment Period, Executive will hold in
         confidence the Confidential Information and will not disclose it to any
         person except with the specific prior written consent of Employer or
         except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(2)      Any trade secrets of Employer will be entitled to all of the
         protections and benefits under California law and any other applicable
         law. If any information that Employer deems to be a trade secret is
         found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for
         purposes of this Agreement, such information will, nevertheless, be
         considered Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement.
         Executive hereby waives any requirement that Employer submit proof of
         the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other
         security.

(3)      None of the foregoing obligations and restrictions applies to any part
         of the Confidential Information that Executive demonstrates was or
         became generally available to the public other than as a result of a
         disclosure by Executive.

(4)      Executive will not remove from Employer's premises (except to the
         extent such removal is for purposes of the performance of Executive's
         duties at home or while traveling, or except as otherwise specifically
         authorized by Employer) any document, record, notebook, plan, model,
         component, device, or computer software or code, whether embodied in a
         disk or in any other form (collectively, the "Proprietary Items").
         Executive recognizes that, as between Employer and Executive, all of
         the Proprietary Items, whether or not developed by Executive, are the
         exclusive property of Employer. Upon termination of this Agreement by
         either party, or upon the request of Employer during the Employment
         Period, Executive will return to Employer all of the Proprietary Items
         in Executive's possession or subject to Executive's control (except to



                                       8
<PAGE>

         the extent any such return during the Employment Period shall
         materially interfere with Executive's ability to perform his
         obligations under this Agreement), and Executive shall not retain any
         copies, abstracts, sketches, or other physical embodiment of any of the
         Proprietary Items.

7.3.     DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES

Executive recognizes that should a dispute or controversy arising from or
relating to this Agreement be submitted for adjudication to any court,
arbitration panel, or other third party, the preservation of the secrecy of
Confidential Information may be jeopardized. All pleadings, documents,
testimony, and records relating to any such adjudication will be maintained in
secrecy and will be available for inspection by Employer, Executive, and their
respective attorneys and experts, who will agree, in advance and in writing, to
receive and maintain all such information in secrecy, except as may be limited
by them in writing.

8.       NON-COMPETITION AND NON-INTERFERENCE

8.1.     ACKNOWLEDGMENTS BY THE EXECUTIVE

Executive acknowledges that: (a) the services to be performed by him under this
Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual
character; (b) Employer's business is international in scope and its products
are marketed throughout the United States and internationally; (c) Employer
competes with other businesses that are or could be located in any part of the
United States or internationally; (d) the Employer has required that Executive
make the covenants set forth in this Section 8 as a condition to the Employer's
acquisition of Executive's stock in Employer; and (e) the provisions of this
Section 8 are reasonable and necessary to protect Employer's business.

8.2.     COVENANTS OF THE EXECUTIVE

In consideration of the acknowledgments by Executive, and in consideration of
the compensation and benefits to be paid or provided to Executive by Employer,
Executive covenants that he will not, directly or indirectly:



                                       9
<PAGE>

(a)      during the Employment Period, except in the course of his employment
         hereunder, and during the Post-Employment Period, engage or invest in,
         own, manage, operate, finance, control, or participate in the
         ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of, be employed
         by, associated with, or in any manner connected with, lend Executive's
         name or any similar name to, lend Executive's credit to or render
         services or advice to, any business whose products or activities
         compete in whole or in part with the products or activities of Employer
         anywhere within the United States or any other jurisdiction in which
         Employer then conducts business; provided, however, that Executive may
         purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) one percent of
         any class of securities of any enterprise (but without otherwise
         participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities
         are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been
         registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

(b)      whether for Executive's own account or for the account of any other
         person, at any time during the Employment Period and the
         Post-Employment Period, solicit business of the same or similar type
         being carried on by Employer, from any person known by Executive to be
         a customer of Employer, whether or not Executive had personal contact
         with such person during and by reason of Executive's employment with
         Employer;

(c)      whether for Executive's own account or the account of any other person
         (i) at any time during the Employment Period and the Post-Employment
         Period, solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee,
         independent contractor, or otherwise, any person who is or was an
         employee of Employer at any time during the Employment Period or in any
         manner induce or attempt to induce any employee of Employer to
         terminate his employment with Employer; or (ii) at any time during the
         Employment Period and for three years thereafter, interfere with
         Employer's relationship with any person, including any person who at
         any time during the Employment Period was an employee, contractor,
         supplier, or customer of Employer; or

(d)      at any time during or after the Employment Period, disparage Employer
         or any of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, or agents.

For purposes of this Section 8.2, the term "Post-Employment Period" means the
one year period beginning on the date of termination of Executive's employment
with Employer.

If any covenant in this Section 8.2 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or
against public policy, such covenant will be considered to be divisible with
respect to scope, time, and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time, or
geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may
determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, will
be effective, binding, and enforceable against Executive.

The period of time applicable to any covenant in this Section 8.2 will be
extended by the duration of any violation by Executive of such covenant.


                                       10
<PAGE>

Executive will, while the covenant under this Section 8.2 is in effect, give
notice to Employer, within ten days after accepting any other employment, of the
identity of Executive's employer. Employer may notify such employer that
Executive is bound by this Agreement and, at Employer's election, furnish such
employer with a copy of this Agreement or relevant portions thereof.

9.       GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1.     INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AND ADDITIONAL REMEDY

Executive acknowledges that the injury that would be suffered by Employer as a
result of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement (including any provision
of Sections 7 and 8) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages
to Employer for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently,
Employer will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to
obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or
otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement, and Employer
will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief.
Without limiting Employer's rights under this Section 9 or any other remedies of
Employer, if Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 7 or 8,
Employer will have the right to cease making any payments otherwise due to
Executive under this Agreement.

9.2.     COVENANTS OF SECTIONS 7 AND 8 ARE ESSENTIAL AND INDEPENDENT COVENANTS

The covenants by Executive in Sections 7 and 8 are essential elements of this
Agreement, and without Executive's agreement to comply with such covenants, the
Employer would not have acquired Executive's stock under the Stock Exchange
Agreement and Employer would not have entered into this Agreement or employed or
continued the employment of Executive. Employer and Executive have independently
consulted their respective counsel and have been advised in all respects
concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants, with specific
regard to the nature of the business conducted by Employer.

Executive's covenants in Sections 7 and 8 are independent covenants and the
existence of any claim by Executive against Employer under this Agreement or
otherwise, or against the Employer, will not excuse Executive's breach of any
covenant in Section 7 or 8.

If Executive's employment hereunder expires or is terminated for Cause, this
Agreement will continue in full force and effect as is necessary or appropriate
to enforce the covenants and agreements of Executive in Sections 7 and 8.


                                       11

9.3.     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE EXECUTIVE

Executive represents and warrants to Employer that the execution and delivery by
Executive of this Agreement do not, and the performance by Executive of
Executive's obligations hereunder will not, with or without the giving of notice
or the passage of time, or both: (a) violate any judgment, writ, injunction, or
order of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency applicable to Executive;
or (b) conflict with, result in the breach of any provisions of or the
termination of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which Executive
is a party or by which Executive is or may be bound.

9.4.     OBLIGATIONS CONTINGENT ON PERFORMANCE

The obligations of Employer hereunder, including its obligation to pay the
compensation provided for herein, are contingent upon Executive's performance of
Executive's obligations hereunder, in the reasonable determination of the Board
of Directors of Employer.

9.5.     WAIVER

The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not
alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by either party in exercising any
right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such
right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right,
power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right,
power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising
out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a
waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the
other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable
except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or
demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such
party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further
action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

9.6.     BINDING EFFECT; DELEGATION OF DUTIES PROHIBITED

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the
parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, and legal
representatives, including any entity with which Employer may merge or
consolidate or to which all or substantially all of its assets may be
transferred. The duties and covenants of Executive under this Agreement, being
personal, may not be delegated.

9.7.     NOTICES

All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement
must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when (a) delivered
by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) sent by facsimile (with
