         Re:      Engagement

Gentlemen:

         By  this  letter  we  intend  to  evidence  terms  under  which  Trojan
Transition  Corporation  ("Client") engages Boyd & Chang, LLP (the "Firm").  Our
agreement is as follows.

(ii)              Engagement.  Client engages the Firm to provide legal services
         for Client as  requested.  The nature of the  services to  initially be
         provided are general corporate securities and related services.

(iii)             Legal  Fees.  Client  will  pay the Firm  for  legal  services
performed at the rates set forth in Schedule "A".

         3.       Additional Support. The Firm will also provide client with all
necessary  secretarial  support and  office,  telephone,  furniture,  facsimile,
reception and  administrative  services as are necessary to operate  Client from
time to time at the flat rate of $250 per month set forth in this Agreement.

         4.       Statements.  The Firm will  send  Client a  statement  setting
forth the fees and costs  incurred by Client on a monthly  basis.  All such fees
and costs shall accrue and non-reimbursable in the form of cash.

         5.       Results. The Firm has made no promises or guarantees to Client
concerning the outcome of the referenced  matter,  and nothing in this agreement
shall be construed as such a promise or guarantee.

         6.       Termination of Services. Our relationship shall be at will and
either the Firm or Client shall have the right to terminate this relationship at
any time with or without cause.

         7.       Arbitration.  Any dispute hereunder,  or concerning the rights
of any of the parties  hereto,  including,  but not limited to, any dispute over
the  amount  of fees or  costs  due and  owing  and  any  dispute  over  alleged
malpractice  shall be decided by  arbitration by a retired judge of the Superior
Court to be agreed upon by the parties.  Client  understands that it may well be
entitled to a jury trial as to any claim against the Firm for malpractice or for
other claims and that Client  hereby  waives any such right.  Client  represents
that it has had the  opportunity  to consult  independent  counsel of its choice
regarding  its  waiver of any right to a jury as  specified  above and as to the
other  terms of this  agreement  and has  either  done so or has  knowingly  and
willingly of its own free choice chosen not to consult such independent counsel.
If the parties  cannot  agree upon an  arbitrator,  the  presiding  judge of the
Superior Court of Orange County shall be requested to appoint a retired judge to
act in such  capacity,  upon  petition  of any  party  hereto.  In the event the
presiding  judge  fails or refuses  for thirty (30) days after a request to make
such appointment,  the court shall be petitioned to appoint a lawyer licensed to
practice in California as sole arbitrator.  Any decision or award as a result of
any arbitration  proceeding shall include the assessment of costs and reasonable
attorneys'  fees to the pre vailing party and shall be  enforceable in any court
of law.

         8.       Entire   Agreement.   This   agreement   contains  the  entire
understanding  among the parties hereto and supersedes any prior  understandings
and agreements among us with respect to the subject matter herein.  There are no
representations,  agreements,  arrangements or understandings among the parties,
oral or written,  relating to the subject  matter of this agreement that are not
fully expressed herein. Any statements, promises or inducements, whether made by
any party or agent of any party,  that are not contained in this agreement shall
not be valid or binding. This agreement may not be enlarged, modified or altered
except by a written agreement signed by all the parties hereto.

         9.       Notice. All notices, requests, demands or other communications
necessary to be given  hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been  given if  delivered  via  facsimile  or if mailed by United  States  Mail,
