            (a)   TERM. The Company hereby employs the Executive, and the
Executive hereby accepts employment with the Company for a period commencing as
of October 1, 2005 and ending on December 31, 2008 (the "Term").

            (b)   CONTINUING EFFECT. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement except for termination under Section 6(b), at the end of the Term or
otherwise, the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 shall remain in full force and
effect and the provisions of Section 8 shall be binding upon the legal
representatives, successors and assigns of the Executive.

      3.    DUTIES.

            (a)   GENERAL DUTIES. The Executive shall serve as the President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with duties and responsibilities that
are customary for such executives. The Executive shall also perform services for
such subsidiaries of the Company as may be necessary. The Executive shall use
his best efforts to perform his duties and discharge his responsibilities
pursuant to this Agreement competently, carefully and faithfully. In determining
whether or not the Executive has used his best efforts hereunder, the
Executive's and the Company's delegation of authority and all surrounding
circumstances shall be taken into account and the best efforts of the Executive
shall not be judged solely on the Company's earnings or other results of the
Executive's performance.

            (b)   DEVOTION OF TIME. Subject to the last sentence of this Section
3(b), the Executive shall devote all of his time, attention and energies during
normal business hours (exclusive of Personal Time Off (as defined in Section
5(a) of this Agreement) and of such normal holiday periods as have been
established by the Company) to the affairs of the Company. The Executive shall
not enter the employ of or serve as a consultant to, or in any way perform any
services with or without compensation to, any other persons, business, or

Stuart, Florida offices as needed. The Executive's job responsibilities shall
also include all business travel necessary to the performance of his job.

            (d)   ADHERENCE TO INSIDE INFORMATION POLICIES. The Executive
acknowledges that the Company is publicly-held and, as a result, has implemented
inside information policies designed to preclude its executives and those of its
subsidiaries from violating the federal securities laws by trading on material,
non-public information or passing such information on to others in breach of

                                       2

any duty owed to the Company, or any third party. The Executive shall promptly
execute any agreements generally distributed by the Company to its employees
requiring such employees to abide by its inside information policies.

      4.    COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES.

            (a)   SALARY. For the services of the Executive to be rendered under
this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Executive an annual salary (the "Base

            (b)   ANNUAL BONUS PLAN. The Company shall pay an annual bonus to
the Executive for each calendar year of the Term equal to 2.5% of the net
pre-tax income of the Company up to a maximum of 50% of the Executive's Base
Salary. However, for the year ending December 31, 2005, the minimum annual bonus
shall be $30,000. The bonus shall be paid within five business days after the
Company files its Form 10-KSB with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"), but in no event later than April 30th of each year beginning in 2006.

            (c)   DISCRETIONARY BONUS. The Compensation Committee may award
additional bonuses as it deems appropriate.

            (d)   EXPENSES. In addition to any compensation received pursuant to
Section 4(a) and (b), the Company will reimburse or advance funds to the
Executive for all reasonable travel, entertainment and miscellaneous expenses
incurred in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement,
provided that the Executive properly provides a written accounting of such
expenses to the Company in accordance with the Company's practices. Such
reimbursement or advances will be made in accordance with policies and
procedures of the Company in effect from time to time relating to reimbursement
of, or advances to, Executive officers.

      5.    BENEFITS.

            (a)   PERSONAL TIME OFF. For each 12-month period during the Term,
the Executive shall be entitled to 240 hours of Personal Time Off (pro-rated for
the partial 12-month period) without loss of compensation or other benefits to
which he is entitled under this Agreement, to be taken at such times as the
Executive may select and the affairs of the Company may permit. Personal Time
Off shall be defined to include time off for vacation, personal time, sick leave
or disability but shall not include holiday periods established by the Company.

            (b)   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PROGRAMS. The Executive is entitled to
participate in any pension, 401(k), insurance or other employee benefit plan
that is maintained by the

                                       3

<PAGE>

Company for its executives, including programs of life and medical insurance and
reimbursement of membership fees in professional organizations.

            (c)   STOCK OPTIONS. The Company shall grant the Executive 3,000,000
five-year non-qualified stock options. The options are not subject to the
Company's 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The options will be exercisable at $1.00
per share, and shall vest as follows: 1,000,000 shares shall be immediately
vested, and 1,000,000 shares each shall vest on December 31, 2006 and December

the applicable vesting date. All options shall be subject to execution of the
Company's standard stock option agreement.

            (d)   DEATH BENEFIT. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(a)
below, in the event the Executive dies during the Term, the Executive's estate
shall receive an amount equal to the Base Salary due for the remainder of the
Term. The Company shall have the right, at any time during the term, to rescind
the foregoing death benefit in exchange for the Company purchasing a life
insurance policy for the remainder of the Term in an amount equal to the Base
Salary due for the remainder of the Term which names the Executive's surviving
spouse as the beneficiary of the policy.

      6.    TERMINATION.

            (a)   DEATH OR DISABILITY. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically terminate without act by any party
upon the death or disability of the Executive. For purposes of this Section
6(a), "disability" shall mean that for a period of 45 consecutive days or 90
aggregate days in any 12-month period, the Executive is incapable of
substantially fulfilling the duties set forth in Section 3 (which means
full-time employment) because of physical, mental, or emotional incapacity,
resulting from injury, sickness, or disease, as determined by the Executive's
physician (or his guardian). In the event of the death of the Executive, the
Executive's estate shall receive any unpaid, earned compensation and benefits
due the Executive and this Agreement shall terminate. In the event that
Executive's employment is terminated by reason of Executive's death or
disability, the Company shall pay the following to Executive: (i) any accrued
but unpaid Base Salary for services rendered to the date of termination, (ii)
the remainder of the Executive's base salary due during the Term, (iii) any
accrued but unpaid expenses required to be reimbursed under this Agreement, (iv)
any Personal Time Off accrued to the date of termination, (v) any earned but
unpaid bonuses for any prior period, his annual bonus prorated to date of
termination (to the extent it can be calculated), and (vi) all stock options and
restricted stock units previously granted to Executive shall thereupon become
fully vested, and the Executive or his legally appointed guardian, as the case
may be, shall have up to one year from the date of termination to exercise all
such previously granted options, provided that in no event shall any option be
exercisable beyond its term. The Executive (or his estate) shall receive the
payments provided herein at such times he would have received them if there was
no death or disability. Additionally, if the Executive's employment is
terminated because of disability, the Executive shall receive any benefits to
which Executive may be entitled pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall continue to
be paid or provided by the Company, as the case may be, for one year, except for
perquisites.

                                       4

<PAGE>

            (b)   TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR WITHOUT GOOD REASON. The Company may
terminate the Executive's employment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at
any time for Cause (as defined below) by giving the Executive 60 day's written
notice of termination. Upon any such termination for Cause, or in the event the
Executive terminates his employment with the Company without "Good Reason," as
defined below, then the Executive shall have no right to compensation, or
reimbursement under Section 4, or to participate in any Executive benefit
programs under Section 5, except as may otherwise be provided by law, for any
period subsequent to the effective date of termination. For purposes of this
Section 6(b), "Cause" shall mean: (i) the Executive is convicted of a felony
which is related to the Executive's employment or the business of the Company;
(ii) the Executive, in carrying out his duties hereunder, has been found in a
civil action to have committed gross negligence or intentional misconduct
resulting, in either case, in material harm to the Company; (iii) the Executive
becomes subject to a preliminary or permanent injunction issued by a United
States District Court enjoining the Executive from violating any securities law
administered or regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iv) the
Executive becomes subject to a cease and desist order or other order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission after an opportunity for a hearing; or
(v) the Executive has been found in a civil action to have materially breached
any provision of Section 7 and/or Section 8 and to have thereby caused material
harm to the Company. The term "found in a civil action" shall not apply until
all appeals permissible under the applicable rules of procedure or statutes have
been determined and no further appeals are permissible.

            (c)   TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR TERMINATION FOR GOOD REASON. The
Executive may terminate, by written notice to the Company, the Executive's
employment at any time for "Good Reason," as defined below, and in the event the
Company terminates the Executive without Cause, then in either case, the Company
shall pay the Executive at the time of termination an amount equal to the Base
Salary due for the remainder of the Term, and all of Executive's remaining
unvested options, if any, shall vest immediately upon such termination. The term
Good Reason shall mean (i) the Executive, with or without change in title or
formal corporate action, no longer exercises substantially all of the duties and
responsibilities and shall no longer possess substantially all of the authority
set forth in Section 3; (ii) the Company materially breaches this Agreement; or
(iii) any entity or person not now an executive officer or director of the
Company becomes either individually or as part of a group (required to file a
Schedule 13D or 13G with the SEC) the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the
Company's common stock. The Executive shall have a period of 30 days following
the occurrence of an event constituting Good Reason under clauses (i) and (ii)
above and a period of 180 days following an event constituting Good Reason under
clause (iii) above in which to exercise his right to terminate for Good Reason,
or the Executive shall be deemed to have waived that particular Good Reason.

            (d)   PARACHUTE PAYMENTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, if Executive is a "disqualified individual" (as defined in
Section 280G(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code")), and the
benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments and
benefits which Executive has the right to receive from the Company and its
affiliates, would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section
280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the benefits provided hereunder (beginning with
any benefit to be paid in cash hereunder) shall be reduced (but not below zero)
so that the present value of such

                                       5

<PAGE>

total amounts and benefits received by Executive will be one dollar ($1.00) less
than three times Executive's "base amount" (as defined in Section 280G of the
Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by Executive
shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. The
determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the benefits
provided hereunder is necessary shall be made initially by the Company in good
faith. If a reduced benefit is provided hereunder in accordance with this
Section 6(d) and through error or otherwise that payment, when aggregated with
other payments and benefits from the Company (or its affiliates) used in
determining if a "parachute payment" exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less
than three times Executive's base amount, then Executive shall immediately repay
such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made.

      7.    NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT.

            (a)   COMPETITION WITH THE COMPANY. Until termination of his
employment and for a period of 24 months commencing on the date of termination,
the Executive (individually or in association with, or as a stockholder,
director, officer, consultant, employee, partner, joint venturer, member, or
otherwise, of or through any person, firm, corporation, partnership, association
or other entity) shall not, directly or indirectly, compete with the Company
(which for the purpose of this Agreement also includes any of its affiliates) by
acting as an officer (or comparable position) of, owning an interest in, or
providing services to any entity within any metropolitan area in the United
States or other country in which the Company was actually engaged in business as
of the time of termination of employment or where the Company reasonably
expected to engage in business within three months of the date of termination of
employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "compete with the Company"
shall refer to any business activity in which the Company was engaged as of the
termination of the Executive's employment or reasonably expected to engage in
within three months of termination of employment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the
foregoing shall not prevent Executive from (i) accepting employment with an
enterprise engaged in two or more lines of business, one of which is the same or
similar to the Company's business (the "Prohibited Business") if Executive's
employment is totally unrelated to the Prohibited Business, (ii) competing in a
country where as of the time of the alleged violation the Company has ceased
engaging in business, or (iii) competing in a line of business which as of the
time of the alleged violation the Company has either ceased engaging in or
publicly announced or disclosed that it intends to cease engaging in; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, the foregoing shall not prohibit Executive from owning up to 5% of the
securities of any publicly-traded enterprise provided Executive is not a
director, officer, consultant, employee, partner, joint venturer, manager,
member of, or to such enterprise, or otherwise compensated for services rendered
thereby.

            (b)   SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS. During the periods in which the
provisions of Section 7(a) shall be in effect, the Executive, directly or
indirectly, will not seek nor accept Prohibited Business from any Customer (as
defined below) on behalf of any enterprise or business other than the Company,
refer Prohibited Business from any Customer to any enterprise or business other
than the Company or receive commissions based on sales or otherwise relating to
the Prohibited Business from any Customer, or any enterprise or business other
than the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Customer" means any
person, firm, corporation, partnership, association or other entity to which the
Company or any of its affiliates sold or provided goods or

                                       6

<PAGE>

services during the 24-month period prior to the time at which any determination
is required to be made as to whether any such person, firm, corporation,
partnership, association or other entity is a Customer, or who or which was
approached by or who or which has approached an employee of the Company for the
purpose of soliciting business from the Company or the third party, as the case
may be.

            (c)   NO PAYMENT. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that no
separate or additional payment will be required to be made to him in
consideration of his undertakings in this Section 7, and confirms he has
received adequate consideration for such undertakings.

      8.    NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

following will not constitute Confidential Information (i) information which is

fault of the Executive, (ii) information set forth in the written records of the
Executive prior to disclosure to the Executive by or on behalf of the Company

Executive) who did not acquire such confidential information or trade secret,
directly or indirectly, from Executive or the Company. As used herein, the term

the Executive agrees to the restrictions contained in this Agreement because
they further the Company's legitimate business interests. These legitimate
business interests include, but are not limited to (i) trade secrets, (ii)
valuable confidential business, technical, and/or or professional information
that otherwise does not

                                       7

qualify as trade secrets, including, but not limited to, all Confidential

prospective or existing Customers, subjects, vendors or suppliers; (iv) Customer
goodwill associated with the Company's business; and (v) specialized training
relating to the Company's technology, methods, operations and procedures.

            (c)   CONFIDENTIALITY. Following termination of employment, the
Confidential Information shall be held by the Executive in the strictest
confidence and shall not, without the prior express written consent of the
Company, be disclosed to any person other than in connection with the
Executive's employment by the Company. The Executive further acknowledges that
such Confidential Information as is acquired and used by the Company or its
affiliates is a special, valuable and unique asset. The Executive shall exercise
all due and diligent precautions to protect the integrity of the Company's
Confidential Information and to keep it confidential whether it is in written
form, on electronic media, oral, or otherwise. The Executive shall not copy any

connection with and as required by his performance of his duties under this
Agreement, for any reason use for his own benefit or the benefit of any person
or entity with which he may be associated or disclose any such Confidential
Information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for
any reason or purpose whatsoever without the prior express written consent of an
executive officer of the Company (excluding the Executive).

      9.    EQUITABLE RELIEF.

            (a)   The Company and the Executive recognize that the services to
be rendered under this Agreement by the Executive are special, unique and of
extraordinary character, and that in the event of the breach by the Executive of
the terms and conditions of this Agreement or if the Executive, without the
prior express consent of the board of directors of the Company, shall leave his
employment for any reason and take any action in violation of Section 7 and/or
Section 8, the Company shall be entitled to institute and prosecute proceedings
in any court of competent jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(b) below, to
enjoin the Executive from breaching the provisions of Section 7 and/or Section
8. In such action, the Company shall not be required to plead or prove
irreparable harm or lack of an adequate remedy at law or post a bond or any
security.

            (b)   Any action must be commenced in Martin County, Florida. The
Executive and the Company irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and agree to take any and all future
action necessary to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. The Executive and
the Company irrevocably waive any objection that they now have or hereafter
irrevocably waive any objection that they now have or hereafter may have to the
laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and
further irrevocably waive any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final
judgment against the Executive or the Company in any such suit shall be

                                       8

<PAGE>

conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment, a
certified or true copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and the
amount of any liability of the Executive or the Company therein described, or by
appropriate proceedings under any applicable treaty or otherwise.

shall not, unless approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of

the Company's suppliers, vendors, or Customers;

            (b)   realize a personal gain or advantage from a transaction in

agreement with the Company.

      13.   ASSIGNABILITY. The rights and obligations of the Company under this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the Company, provided that such successor or assign shall acquire all
or substantially all of the securities or assets and business of the Company.
The Executive's obligations hereunder may not be assigned or alienated and any
attempt to do so by the Executive will be void.

      14.   SEVERABILITY.

            (a)   The Executive expressly agrees that the character, duration
and geographical scope of the non-competition provisions set forth in this
Agreement are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date
hereof. Should a decision, however, be made at a later date by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the character, duration or geographical scope of
such provisions is unreasonable, then it is the intention and the agreement of
the Executive and the Company that this Agreement shall be construed by the
court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the Executive's
conduct that are reasonable in the light of the circumstances and as are
necessary to assure to the Company the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any
judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate
covenants deemed included herein because taken together they are more extensive
than necessary to assure to the Company the intended benefits of this Agreement,
it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the provisions
of this Agreement that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate
provisions to be enforced in such proceeding shall be deemed eliminated, for the
purposes of such proceeding, from this Agreement.

            (b)   If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be
invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or
jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered
divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such
state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from
either of the parties to the other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provision were not
included.

      15.   NOTICES AND ADDRESSES. All notices, offers, acceptance and any other
acts under this Agreement (except payment) shall be in writing, and shall be
sufficiently given if delivered to the addressees in person, by Federal Express
or similar receipted delivery, or next business day delivery, or by facsimile
delivery (in which event a copy shall immediately be sent by Federal Express or

appeal).

issue of construction or interpretation arising hereunder whether relating to
its execution, its validity, the obligations provided therein or performance
shall be governed or interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of
Florida without regard to choice of law considerations.

      19.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement
between the parties and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements between
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither this
Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, except by a statement in writing signed by the party or
parties against which enforcement or the change, waiver discharge or termination
is sought.

      20.   ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. The parties hereto shall execute such
additional instruments as may be reasonably required by their counsel in order
to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement and to fulfill the
obligations of the parties hereunder.

agreement, shall be settled by submission by either party of the controversy,
claim or dispute to binding arbitration in Martin County, Florida (unless the
parties agree in writing to a different location), before three arbitrators in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in
effect. In any such arbitration proceeding the parties agree to provide all
discovery deemed necessary by the arbitrators. The decision and award made by
the arbitrators shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto for
all purposes, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.

      23.   INVESTIGATIONS. In the event the Executive or the Company is the
subject of an investigation (whether criminal, civil, or administrative)
involving possible violations of United States federal securities laws by the
Executive, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, direct the
Company to withhold any and all payments to the Executive (whether compensation
or otherwise) which would have otherwise been made pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise would have been paid or payable by the Compensation Committee or the
Company, which the Compensation Committee believes, in its sole discretion, may
or could be considered at risk, or potentially subject to, the provisions of
Section 1103 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (including, but not limited to,
any and all salary, bonuses, perquisites, stock option grants, awards of
restricted stock or restricted stock units, or long-term incentive compensation)
until such time as the investigation is concluded without charges having been
brought or until the successful conclusion of any legal proceedings brought in
connection with charges having been brought, with such amounts as directed by
the Compensation Committee to be withheld with or without the accruing of
interest (and if with interest the rate thereof). Except as otherwise provided
by court or other administrative order, in the event of the final adjudication
or the settlement of any charges involving the admittance of wrongdoing or guilt
by the Executive, the Compensation Committee shall have sole discretion whether
to release to the Executive such compensation or other payments, or the extent
thereof, or whether to return the same to the Company's general use.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Executive have executed this
Agreement as of the date and year first above written.
