Consultant agree as follows:

1.       ENGAGEMENT

         bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard for the obligations or
         duties hereunder by Consultant, neither Consultant nor Consultant's

4.       COMPENSATION

         The Company agrees to pay Consultant a fee for the Services
         ("Consulting Fee") by way of the delivery by the company of One Hundred
         Thousand (100,000) shares of the Company's common stock as a fee,
         issued under Rule 701 with any required restriction, with a deemed

         Consultant on behalf of the Company, within ten (10) days of receipt of
         written notice by Consultant, provided that the Company must approve in
         advance all such expenses in excess of $500 per month.

7.       PLACE OF SERVICES

         insurance, and any other taxes due relative to Consultant's Personnel,
         and any and all business license fees as may be required. This

         principal and agent, or employee and employer, between Consultant's
         Personnel and the Company. Neither Consultant nor Consultant's
         Personnel are authorized to enter into any agreements on behalf of the
         Company. The Company expressly retains the right to approve, in its
         sole discretion, each Asset Opportunity or Business Opportunity
         introduced by Consultant, and to make all final decisions with respect
         to effecting a transaction on any Business Opportunity.

9.       REJECTED ASSET OPPORTUNITY OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

         If, during the Primary Term of this Agreement or any Extension Period,
         the Company elects not to proceed to acquire, participate or invest in
         any Business Opportunity identified and/or selected by Consultant,
         notwithstanding the time and expense the Company may have incurred

                                       53
<PAGE>

         reviewing such transaction, such Business Opportunity shall revert back
         to and become proprietary to Consultant, and Consultant shall be
         entitled to acquire or broker the sale or investment in such rejected
         Business Opportunity for its own account, or submit such assets or
         Business Opportunity elsewhere. In such event, Consultant shall be
         entitled to any and all profits or fees resulting from Consultant's
         purchase, referral or placement of any such rejected Business
         Opportunity, or the Company's subsequent purchase or financing with
         such Business Opportunity in circumvention of Consultant

10.      NO AGENCY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED

         This Agreement neither expressly nor impliedly creates a relationship
         of principal and agent between the Company and Consultant, or employee
         and employer as between Consultant's Personnel and the Company.

         expiration of the Primary Term upon thirty (30) days written notice

13.      REMEDIES

         Consultant and the Company acknowledge that in the event of a breach of
         this Agreement by either party, money damages would be inadequate and
         the non-breaching party would have no adequate remedy at law.
         Accordingly, in the event of any controversy concerning the rights or
         obligations under this Agreement, such rights or obligations shall be
         enforceable in a court of equity by a decree of specific performance.
         Such remedy, however, shall be cumulative and nonexclusive and shall be
         in addition to any other remedy to which the parties may be entitled.

14.      MISCELLANEOUS

         (A)      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. Consultant and the Company each agree to
                  notify the other party if, subsequent to the date of this
                  Agreement, either party incurs obligations which could
                  compromise its efforts and obligations under this Agreement.

         (B)      AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended or modified at any
                  time and in any manner only by an instrument in writing
                  executed by the parties hereto.

         (C)      FURTHER ACTIONS AND ASSURANCES. At any time and from time to
                  time, each party agrees, at its or their expense, to take
                  actions and to execute and deliver documents as may be
                  reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
                  Agreement.

         (D)      WAIVER. Any failure of any party to this Agreement to comply
                  with any of its obligations, agreements, or conditions
                  hereunder may be waived in writing by the party to whom such
                  compliance is owed. The failure of any party to this Agreement
                  to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement
                  shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such
                  provision or a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to
                  enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach
                  of or noncompliance with this Agreement shall be held to be a
                  waiver of any other or subsequent breach or noncompliance.

         (E)      ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any right created by it
                  shall be assignable by either party without the prior written
                  consent of the other.

         (F)      NOTICES. Any notice or other communication required or
