2.  Fees to be Paid to the Consultant by the Client;  Retainer; Hourly Expenses;
Objections; Commissions.

         (a)  The  Client  shall  pay a  reasonable  fee for  services  actually
performed  for the  Client by the  Consultant.  That fee will be  determined  by
multiplying  the number of hours spent  working on the  Client's  matters by the
billing  rate.  Time  shall be  billed  in  increments  of 1/4 of an  hour.  The
Consultant's hourly billing rate is:
                  (i)   $250.00/hr. for Executive managers/consultants;
                  (ii)  $150.00/hr. for Senior managers/consultants;
                  (iii) $75.00/hr. for Project managers;

surcharge.  If performed by an Outsource  Consultant,  the fee shall remain that
Consultant's cost, plus 10%, as set forth above.
         (c) The foregoing rates and fees rates may not be increased  without at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice and the  opportunity  for the Client
to terminate this Agreement.
         (d) The  Consultant's fee shall be calculated by multiplying the number
of hours devoted to the Client's matter(s) (including fractions of hours) by the
then current  hourly rate.  As used herein,  the term "Number of Hours  Devoted"
shall mean any time  spent by the Firm in dealing  with any aspect of the matter
for which the  Client has  retained  the Firm  including,  but not  limited  to,
consulting  with the Client (in person or by  telephone),  investigating  facts,
conducting  research,  preparing  correspondence,   documents,  interviewing  or
negotiating  with  others  (in  person  or  by  telephone),  preparing  for  and
conducting meetings and interviews, and traveling.
         (e) In the event that the Client has any objection whatsoever to any of
the fees for services rendered or the costs and disbursements  which are billed,
it is the Client's obligation to object in writing thereto within seven (7) days
of receipt of such invoices or  statements.  Failure of the Client to timely set
forth any such  disagreement  or objection  to any fee for services  rendered or
costs incurred shall be considered to be a waiver of any such objections.
         (f) The Consultant  shall be solely  responsible for the payment of all
federal,  state,  and local taxes or  contributions  imposed or  required  under
unemployment insurance,  social security and income tax laws that pertain to the
compensation  paid to Consultant for its performance of Services under Section 1
of this Agreement.

3.  Estimates.
         While an estimate or indication of the amount of fees which will likely
be incurred in any  particular  project may be provided from time to time,  such
estimates  are not  guaranteed  amounts,  but  rather  are  meant  to  serve  as
guidelines only.  Numerous factors on any project may affect those estimates and
require  that  they be  revised.  If at any time an  estimate  for a  particular
project has been given to the Client,  and it becomes  apparent  that the actual
hours  required  for the project will  significantly  exceed the  estimate,  the
Client  will be  informed  of that fact and the Client may elect to  discontinue
further  action.  The Client  may,  at any time,  request a written  estimate of
projected  consulting fees and costs associated with particular  requirements or
actions to be undertaken by the Firm

4.  Expenses.
         (a) The Client agrees to reimburse the Consultant  for actual  expenses
incurred in the course of activities  undertaken by the  Consultant  pursuant to
Section 1 of this Agreement. These expenses shall include, but not be limited to
travel, shipping, communications, presentation materials and production charges,
as  well  as such  miscellaneous  out-of-pocket  disbursements,  such  costs  as
photocopying,  filing fees, facsimile charges,  electronic mail charges,  travel
expenses,  computer research charges,  telephone charges, postage, express mail,
courier, and other expenses.
         (b) The Consultant will not commit to nor incur any expense for any one
Service Order in excess of $1,000.00 without the prior approval of the Client.
         (c) Within 10 days  following  the end of each  month,  the  Consultant
shall provide the Client with itemized expense reports  describing the nature of
the expense and the project or contact for which the expense was incurred.
         (d) Within 20 days  following  the receipt of the expense  report,  the
Client shall reimburse the Consultant for it expense, subject to the limitations
set forth above.

Clients' matters.  Without limiting the foregoing,  the Client agrees to respond
with  reasonable  promptness  to  telephone  calls  and other  inquiries  by the
Consultant, review documents and correspondence,  regularly communicate with the
Consultant  about the  matter  in  general,  including  but not  limited  to any

be exclusive property of the Client, and the Consultant shall cooperate with the
Client in the  protection of all of the Client's  intellectual  property  rights
thereto,  and,  to the extent  deemed  desirable  by the  Client,  the filing or
registration of any patents or copyrights.  Accordingly,  the Consultant  hereby

13. Resolution of Disputes; Arbitration.
         All  disputes  concerning  this  Agreement or any claim or issue of any
nature (whether brought by the Parties hereto or by any other person whatsoever)
arising  from or  relating to this  Agreement  (including,  without  limitation,
claims for alleged fraud,  breach of fiduciary duty,  breach of contract,  tort,
etc.) which  cannot be  resolved  within  reasonable  time  through  discussions
between the opposing entities, shall be resolved solely and exclusively by means
of arbitration to be conducted in Kings County, New York, which arbitration will
proceed in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (or
any successor  organization  thereto) then in force for resolution of commercial
disputes.
         The  Arbitrators  themselves  shall have the right to determine  and to
arbitrate  the  threshold  issue of  arbitrability  itself,  the decision of the
Arbitrators shall be final, conclusive,  and binding upon the opposing entities,
and a judgment  upon the award may be  obtained  and  entered in any  federal or
state court of competent jurisdiction.
         Each entity or Party  involved in  litigation or  arbitration  shall be
responsible  for its own costs and  expenses of any  litigation  or  arbitration
proceeding, including its own attorney's fees (for any litigation,  arbitration,
and any appeals).
                           THE  PARTIES  EACH  UNDERSTAND  THAT BY  AGREEING  TO
                  BINDING ARBITRATION,  BOTH PARTIES ELECT TO WAIVE THE JUDICIAL
                  PROCESS,  INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
                  JURY, THE RIGHT TO DISCOVERY,  THE RIGHT TO AN APPEAL, AND THE
                  OTHER  JUDICIAL  RULES OF PROCEDURE AND EVIDENCE.  INSTEAD THE
                  PARTIES WILL BE BOUND BY THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR  WHOSE
                  DECISION, AFTER AN INFORMAL HEARING INVOLVING NO DISCOVERY AND
                  MUCH LESS FORMAL RULES OF PROCEDURE AND EVIDENCE, IS FINAL AND
                  BINDING.  BECAUSE ARBITRATION IS SIGNIFICANTLY  DIFFERENT FROM
                  THE JUDICIAL  PROCESS AND BECAUSE THE PARTIES GIVE UP A NUMBER
                  OF RIGHTS IN  AGREEING TO UTILIZE  ARBITRATION  INSTEAD OF THE
                  JUDICIAL  PROCESS,  EACH  PARTY  SHOULD  SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN
                  INDEPENDENT ATTORNEY INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ADVANTAGES,
                  DISADVANTAGES  AND  DIFFERENCES  BETWEEN  ARBITRATION  AND THE
                  JUDICIAL PROCESS BEFORE SIGNING.

14. Notice.

terms of this  Agreement  to be  given to any  other  Party  hereto  shall be in
writing and shall be given either:

below, provided that confirmation of successful receipt thereof by the receiving
Party is recorded  on the  sending  Party's  transmission  confirmation  receipt
simultaneously  with the completion of transmission,  in which case notice shall
be presumptively deemed to have been given at the date and time displayed on the
sending Party's transmission confirmation receipt showing the successful receipt
thereof by the receiving Party;
                  (ii) by a nationally  recognized  overnight courier service in
which the date of delivery is  recorded  by the courier  service,  in which case
notice shall be presumptively deemed to have been given at the time that records
of the courier  service  indicate  the writing was  delivered  to the  receiving
Party; or
                  (iii) by  prepaid  telegram,  in which  case  notice  shall be
presumptively  deemed to have been  given at the time  that the  records  of the
telegraphic agency indicate that the telegram was telephoned or delivered to the
receiving Party, as the case may be; or
