              Consultant

      subject to the right, however, of the Company and its underwriters to
      reduce the number of shares proposed to be registered pro rata in view of
      market conditions.  The Company shall bear registration expenses
      (exclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions) of all such demands,
      piggy-backs, and S-3 or SB-2 registrations;
and

            


    

    


    
      	
              (ii)  

            	
              The
      following legend (or a legend substantially in the following form) shall
      be placed on certificates representing the Shares issued pursuant to this
      Section 2:

            


    

     

    
      	 	THE SECURITIES
      EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED
      STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE
      SECURITIES LAW, AND NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED,
      ASSIGNED, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF UNLESS
      (A) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND
      APPLICABLE UNITED STATES STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH
      TRANSACTION INVOLVING SAID SECURITIES, OR (B) THIS CORPORATION RECEIVES AN
      OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES (CONCURRED IN
      BY LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THIS CORPORATION) STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS
      EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, OR (C) THIS CORPORATION OTHERWISE SATISFIES
      ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM
  REGISTRATION.


    

     

    
      	 	Additionally, the
      Consultant understands that at the present time Rule 144 promulgated under
      the Securities Act may not be relied upon for the resale or distribution
      of the securities issued pursuant to this Section 2, except and unless as
      to Rule 144(k) should Rule 144(k) become applicable to the Consultant,
      because the Company does not file current or periodic reports with the
      Securities and Exchange Commission or make information about the Company
      publicly available.  Moreover, there can be no assurance that
      the Company will in the future file such reports or make publicly
      available such information.


    

     

    3. Term and
Termination.  Subject to earlier termination, the term of this
agreement shall begin on the date set forth above and will continue in full
force and effect for a period of twelve (12) months.  Thereafter, the
parties may renew this Agreement upon mutually agreeable
terms.  Either party may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30)
calendar days written notice, or if prior to such action, the other party
materially breaches any of its

     


    
      
         


      

      
         


        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

    representations,
warranties or obligations under this Agreement. Except as may be otherwise
provided in this Agreement, such breach by either party will result in that
party being responsible to reimburse the non-defaulting party for all costs
incurred directly as a result of the breach of this Agreement, and shall be
subject to such damages as may be allowed by law including all attorneys' fees
and costs of enforcing this Agreement.  Upon any termination or
expiration of this Agreement, Company shall pay all unpaid and outstanding fees,
through the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement. And
upon such termination, Consultant shall provide and deliver to Company any and
all outstanding Services due through the effective date of this
Agreement.  Termination by either party shall not result in the
forfeiture by Consultant of the Shares or right to a written legal opinion
regarding the tradability of the Shares.

     

    4. Independent Contractor
Status.  The parties agree and acknowledge that that this
Agreement shall not be construed so as to make either an employee of the other
and neither party shall hold themselves out as such.  Neither party
shall i) have the authority bind the other to any contract, agreement, nor
indenture; ii) be liable to any third party for the acts of the other; nor iii)
accept service of process for the other.

     

    5. Confidential
Information.  It is agreed by the parties that Consultant shall
have access to, have disclosed to it, or otherwise obtain Confidential

research, samples, sketches, software, specifications, business information,
including customer and distributor names, marketing information, operations,
plans, products, financial information, including pricing and other confidential
information that is disclosed under the terms of this Agreement by the Company
or the Consultant.  Consultant shall not disclose to, or use for the
benefit of, any third party, Confidential Information it receives without the
prior written consent of the Company.  Information shall not be
considered Confidential Information if such information is i) already known to
Consultant at the time it is obtained, ii) subsequently learned from an
independent third party; or iii) available publicly.

     

    6. Confidentiality of
Agreement.  The parties shall not disclose to any third person
or entity, any portion of this Agreement except as necessary for the Consultant
to provide the Services set forth in Section 1 herein.  Neither party
shall disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement without first obtaining
prior written approval of the other party which approval may be withheld by
Consultant for any reason.  Neither party shall use the other’s name,
logo, trademarks, or service marks in any advertising, publicity releases, or
any other materials without that party’s prior written approval, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld by the Company if Consultant determines such use to be
consistent with the performance of its Services described herein.

     

    7. Best
Efforts.  The parties agree that Consultant will utilize its
best efforts to provide the Services set forth in Section 1 above. The Company
acknowledges and accepts that Consultant does not and cannot promise or

    8.  Assignment.  This
Agreement shall be assigned to and inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon,
any successor to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company as
a going concern, whether by merger, consolidation, liquidation or sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Company or otherwise.  The
Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform as if no such succession had taken place; and, as used in
this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any
successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to
perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise; provided that for
purposes of Section 8 hereof, the term “Company” shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any such transaction in which this Agreement is
assigned to a successor may not expand or enlarge the scope of restrictions
applicable to Consultant pursuant to this Agreement.  Consultant
understands and agrees, however, that this Agreement is exclusive and personal
to him only, and, as such, he will neither assign nor subcontract all or part of
his undertaking(s) or obligation(s) under the terms of this
Agreement.

     

    9.  Suit/Jurisdiction.  The
parties agree that any and all disputes rising out of or relating to this
Agreement shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for
binding and final resolution in accordance with the rules of the

in West Palm Beach, Florida, as up to Consultant’s sole
discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall each
retain the right to seek injunctive or equitable relief for any actual or
threatened breach of Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement.  In the event
either party exercises its right to seek injunctive or equitable relief, it
shall do so in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida or such
other jurisdiction as Consultant in its sole discretion shall
choose.  The choice of law shall be the law of the State of
Florida.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each party acknowledges
that it hereby waives the right to have disputes rising out of or relating to
this Agreement resolved by jury trial.
