         3. Other Business Activities. The Employee may engage, directly or
indirectly, during the Term, in other business activities or pursuits; provided,
however, that such activities shall not, other than in an incidental manner,
interfere with or detract from the performance of Employee's responsibilities
and obligations pursuant to this Agreement and shall not be related to the
Business of the Company in a manner that violates the provisions of Section 10
of this Agreement.

         4. Compensation.

         (a) Salary. The Company shall pay to the Employee during the Term of
this Agreement a base salary at an annual rate of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000) with such subsequent increases in salary during the Term of
this Agreement as may be authorized by the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee of the Board. In determining salary increases, the Compensation and
Stock Option Committee may compensate the Employee for increases in the cost of
living and may also provide for performance or merit increases. Participation in
deferred compensation, bonus, discretionary bonus, retirement and other employee
benefit plans in the fringe benefits shall not reduce the salary payable to the
Employee under this Section 4(a).

         (b) Commissions. (i) At the end of each fiscal year during the initial
Term, Employee shall be paid a commission ("Annual Commission") based on the
adjusted annual gross revenue of the Company ("Adjusted Revenue") for each
fiscal year during the initial Term, provided, the Company achieves certain
annual financial performance objectives for earnings before the payment of
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). The Annual Commission
and the management fee (described below) shall be paid within ninety (90) days
following the end of the Company's fiscal year in which the commission is earned
and shall be calculated in accordance with the percentages and the other
criteria set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof. For
purposes of this Section 4, "Adjusted Revenue" shall mean the annual gross
revenue of the Company less any revenues of the Company attributable to projects
managed by the Company but which shall have been brought into the Company
primarily through another division of AM or AMBS ("Managed Projects"). For
managing the Managed Projects, Employee shall earn a management fee as set forth
on Schedule A.

         (ii) The parties acknowledge that certain contracts to be performed by
Company were, and/or may be entered into in the name of AMBS in order to obtain
bonding, however all construction services under such contracts will be
performed by the Company. Accordingly, the parties agree that all revenue from
such contracts shall be treated as revenue of Company in computing EBITDA under
this Agreement. Also included in computation of EBITDA will be Company-specific
overhead expenses as well as the corporate overhead expenses of AM and/or AMBS
for corporate activities specifically related to the business of the Company.

         (iii) Employee, at his option, may assign the right to receive payment
of any portion of the Annual Commission to key employees of the Company
("Assignees"). In order to make such an assignment, on or before the last day of
any fiscal year, Employee shall provide the Company with a schedule, signed by
Employee, indicating the names of the Assignees and the exact dollar amount to
be assigned to each of the Assignees. The Company shall have no obligation to
confirm the accuracy of the schedule, and upon the issuance of the Annual
Commission as set forth in the Schedule, including any unassigned balance to
Employee, Employee shall have no further rights against the Company regarding
the portions of the Annual Commission that have been paid in accordance with the
schedule.

obligation shall be reflected in a promissory note substantially similar to the
one attached hereto as Exhibit A.

         (d) Stock Option Awards. As of the effective date of this Agreement the
Employee shall be awarded 4,000,000 stock options. In addition, on April 1,
2003, the Employee shall be awarded 500,000 stock options, and on April 1, 2004,
the Employee shall be awarded 500,000 stock options. All stock options shall be

exercise price which shall equal the fair market value of AM's stock as of the
date of issuance, which shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of
the stock option plan under which the options are issued. For purposes of this
paragraph 4(d) "fair market value of the AM's stock as of the date of issuance"
shall mean the average of closing bid price and ask price as quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board of the NASD, Inc. on such date.

         (e) Vehicle Allowance. During the Term, the Company shall provide
Employee with a vehicle allowance of $850 per month.

         (f) Term Loan. Employee acknowledges that prior to the effective date
of this Agreement the Company has extended to Employee and his spouse a term
loan in the amount of $1,000,000. Employee and his spouse shall provide a
promissory note to the Company to reflect his obligation for such term loan
substantially similar to the form of promissory note attached hereto as Exhibit
B. Upon the execution of such promissory note, the Guaranty and Pledge Agreement
dated January, 2002 by and between Employee and AM shall be deemed to be

         10. Covenant Not to Compete; Non-solicitation. In consideration of
Employee's compensation and benefits to be received hereunder, any for other
good and valuable consideration from Company, the receipt and adequacy of which
is hereby acknowledged, the Employee agrees as follows:

         (a) Non-Compete. The During the term of employment and for a period of
eighteen (18) months after the termination of the Employee's employment by the
Company, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly own, manage, operate,
control or be employed by or participate in the ownership, management, operation
or control of any business in the United States which performs services for, or

Section 10 began and ending when the activities constituting such violation
shall have finally terminated in good faith, or when there has been a final
adjudication by the trial court as to the enforcement of the covenants,
whichever is earlier.

              any former employer of Employee.

additions to the Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by all
parties thereto. The prior approval by a majority affirmative vote of the full
Board shall be required in order for the Company to authorize any amendments or

decision of the arbitrator as a final, binding and unappealable judgment in a
court of appropriate jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 13(b) to the contrary, matters in which an equitable remedy or
injunctive relief is sought by a party shall not be required to be submitted to
arbitration, if the party seeking such remedy or relief objects thereto, but
shall instead be subject to the provisions of Section 13 (a) above.
