                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              - - - - - - - - - -

            WHEREAS, the Financial Advisor is an investment banker and
registered NASD broker- dealer and has experience in providing financial and
business advice to public and private companies; and

            WHEREAS, the Company is seeking and the Financial Advisor is willing
to furnish, ON A NON-EXCLUSIVE BASIS, business and financial related advice and
services to the Company on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and for the mutual promises and
covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

            1. PURPOSE. The Company hereby engages the Financial Advisor for the

Financial Advisor represents and warrants to the Company that (i) it is a member
in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD") and that it is engaged in the securities brokerage business; (ii) in
addition to its securities brokerage business, the Financial Advisor provides
consulting advisory services; and (iii) it is free to enter into this Agreement
and the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement are not in conflict
with any other contractual or other obligation to which the Financial Advisor is
bound. The Company acknowledges that the Financial Advisor is in the business of
providing financial and public market services and consulting advice (of the
type contemplated by this Agreement) to others and that nothing herein contained
shall be construed to limit or restrict the Financial Advisor in conducting such
business with respect to others, or rendering such advice to others, nor shall
Company be restricted from seeking such, or related services, from other
sources, including other investment banking firms.

            3. DUTIES OF THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR. During the term of this
Agreement, the Financial Advisor will provide the Company with consulting advice

undertake duties not reasonable within the scope of the consulting advisory
service in which the Financial Advisor is engaged generally. In

performance of these duties, the Financial Advisor shall provide the Company
with the benefits of its best judgment and efforts. It is understood and
acknowledged by the parties that the value of the Financial Advisor's advice is
not measurable in any quantitative manner, and that the amount of time spent
rendering such consulting advice shall be determined according to the Financial
Advisor's discretion.

            The Financial Advisor's duties may include, but will not necessarily
be limited to:

            (1)   Advice relating to corporate financing activities and related
                  market acceptance of Company's business and securities,
                  including monitoring the progress and status of the Company's
                  marketing efforts through Financial Advisor's relationships
                  with industry investment bankers;

                  the public.

            4. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date
hereof (the "Effective Date"), and terminate two years from the date hereof;
provided, however, that this Agreement may be renewed, modified, canceled or
extended upon such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon by the
parties hereto. As set forth in Schedule A with regard to compensation, if for
any reason, the Company is not satisfied with the services rendered by the
Financial Advisor, the Company shall have the right to cancel this agreement and
shall not be obligated to issue the outstanding two hundred thousand shares
which shall be due six months from the date hereof.

            5. COMPENSATION. The Company shall compensate the Financial Advisor,
its designee or assign in the manner set forth on Schedule A. To the extent that
such compensation may include Restricted Stock (as defined on Schedule A),
Financial Advisor, its designee(s) or assign(s) represents and warrants that
Financial Advisor, its designee(s) or assign(s) (i) is acquiring the Restricted
Stock solely for its own beneficial account and not with a view to, or resale in
connection with any distribution, and (ii) understands that the Restricted Stock
has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any
state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions
thereof.

            6. EXPENSES. In addition to the compensation payable hereunder, the
Company shall reimburse the Financial Advisor, within five (5) business days of
its request, for any and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
the services performed by the Financial Advisor and its counsel pursuant to this
Agreement, including hotel, food and associated expenses, all charges for
travel, long-distance telephone calls and other expenses spent or incurred on
the Company's behalf, provided any expenses must be pre-approved by Company



                                      -2-
<PAGE>

prior to being incurred and, in no event shall the expenses to be reimbursed
exceed $2,000 during the term of this Agreement.

            7. USE OF ADVICE BY THE COMPANY; PUBLIC MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S
SECURITIES. The Company acknowledges that all opinions and advice (written or
oral) given by the Financial Advisor to the Company in connection with the
engagement of the Financial Advisor are intended solely for the benefit and use
of the Company in considering the transaction to which they relate, and the
Company agrees that no person or entity other than the Company shall be entitled
to make use of or rely upon the advice of the Financial Advisor to be given
hereunder, and no such opinion or advice shall be used for any other purpose or
reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to at any time, in any manner or
for any purpose, nor may the Company make any public references to the Financial
Advisor, or use of the Financial Advisor's name in any annual reports or any
other reports or releases of the Company other than as required by rule or law
without the prior written consent of the Financial Advisor.

            The Company acknowledges that the Financial Advisor makes no
commitment whatsoever as to guaranteeing the making of a public trading market
in the Company's securities or to recommending or advising its clients to
purchase the Company's securities; however, nothing contained herein shall
preclude such actions at Financial Advisor's sole discretion and responsibility.
Research reports, corporate finance or like reports that may be prepared by the
Financial Advisor or its contractors or suppliers will, when and if prepared, be
initiated on the merits or judgment of analysis of the Financial Advisor or
prepared by a contractor or supplier, solely on the discretion and judgment of
that individual contractor or supplier.

            8. COMPANY INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALLY. The Company recognizes and
confirms that, in advising the Company and in fulfilling its engagement
hereunder, the Financial Advisor will use and rely on data, material and other
information furnished to the Financial Advisor by the Company. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that in performing its services under this engagement,
the Financial Advisor may rely upon the data, material and other information
supplied by the Company without independently verifying the accuracy,
completeness or veracity of same. In addition, in the performance of its
services, the Financial Advisor may look to such others for such factual
information, economic advice and/or research upon which to base its advice to
the Company hereunder as the Financial Advisor shall in good faith deem
appropriate.

            Except as contemplated by the terms hereof or as required by
applicable law, the Financial Advisor shall keep confidential all non-public
information provided to it by the Company, and shall not disclose such
information to any third party without the Company's prior written consent,
other than such of its employees and advisors as the Financial Advisor
determines to have a need to know. Company confirms that all public information
given to Financial Advisor or its contractors or suppliers shall be accurate and
comply with SEC Regulation F.D.

                  Financial Advisor or any transactions in connection with the
                  services rendered by the Financial Advisor, except for any
                  liabilities, claims and lawsuits (including awards and/or

<PAGE>

                  negligence or willful material omissions of Financial Advisor

                  The Company shall give the Financial Advisor prompt notice of
                  any such liability, claim or lawsuit which the Company

                  any regulatory bodies and/or authorities.

            (b)   In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in any
                  case in which (i) any person entitled to indemnification under
                  this paragraph makes claim for indemnification pursuant hereto
                  but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final
                  judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and
                  the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last
                  right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced
                  in such case notwithstanding the fact that this paragraph
                  provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii)
                  contribution may be required on the part of any such person in
                  circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this
                  paragraph, then, and in each such case, the Company and the
                  Financial Advisor shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
                  claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject
                  (after any contribution from others) in such proportion taking
                  into consideration the relative benefits received by each
                  party from the offering covered by the prospectus or from any
                  other document or agreement with respect to any transactions
                  in connection with this Agreement (taking into account the
                  portion of the proceeds of the transaction realized by each),
                  the parties' relative knowledge and access to information
                  concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was
                  assessed, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement
                  or omission and other equitable considerations appropriate
                  under the circumstances; provided, that, in any such case, no
                  person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
                  meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1934 Act) shall be entitled to
                  contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
                  fraudulent misrepresentation.

                  Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by any party to this
                  Agreement (or its representative) of notice of the
                  commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such party
                  will, if a claim for contribution in respect thereof is to be
                  made against another party


                                      -5-
<PAGE>

                  (the "Contributing Party"), notify the Contributing Party of
                  the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
                  Contributing Party will not relieve it from any liability
                  which it may have to any other party other than for
                  contribution hereunder. In case any action, suit or proceeding
                  is brought against any party, and such party notifies a
                  Contributing Party or his or its representative of the
                  commencement thereof within the aforesaid fifteen (15) days,
                  the Contributing Party will be entitled to participate therein
                  with the notifying party and any other Contributing Party
                  similarly notified. Any such Contributing Party shall not be
                  liable to any party seeking contribution on account of any
                  settlement of any claim, action or proceeding effected by such
                  party seeking contribution without the written consent of the
                  Contributing Party. The indemnification provisions contained
                  in this paragraph are in addition to any other rights or
                  remedies which either party hereto may have with respect to
                  the other or hereunder.


            10. THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The
Financial Advisor shall perform its services hereunder as an independent
contractor and not as an agent or employee of the Company or an affiliate
thereof. It is expressly understood and agreed to by the parties hereto that the
Financial Advisor shall have no authority to act for, represent or bind the
Company or any affiliate thereof in any manner, except as may be agreed to
expressly by the Company in writing from time to time. From time to time
Financial Advisor may contract with other entities to perform some of the duties
of Financial Advisor described in Section 3 herein or such other functions as
Financial Advisor in its sole discretion deems appropriate or necessary, and may
compensate such contractors with a portion of the compensation described on
Schedule A.


            11.   MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a)   This Agreement between the Company and the Financial
                        Advisor constitutes the entire agreement and

                                  SCHEDULE "A"


            Company shall compensate Financial Advisor for the duties performed
by Financial Advisor under this Agreement, as follows:

            The Company shall deliver to Financial Advisor upon execution of
this Agreement, certificates for TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND (200,000) fully-paid and
non-assessable shares of Rose Group Corporation Common Stock which shall be
restricted as to transferability under the federal securities laws ("Restricted
Stock"). The Restricted Stock certificate(s) shall bear the following legend:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 [OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAW]. THEY MAY NOT BE
SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED [OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE
LAW], OR FOR WHICH AN EXEMPTION IS AVAILABLE FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND FOR
WHICH THE COMPANY IS PROVIDED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER,
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS NOT
IN VIOLATION OF ANY OF SAID SECURITIES LAWS.

            Six months from the date hereof; the Company shall issue an
additional TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND (200,000) fully-paid and non-assessable shares
of Rose Group Corporation Common Stock which shall be restricted as to
transferability under the federal securities laws ("Restricted Stock"). The
Restricted Stock certificate(s) shall bear the legend as stated above.

            If for any reason, the Company is not satisfied with the services
rendered by the Financial Advisor within the first six months of its term, the
Company shall have the right to cancel this agreement and shall not be obligated
to issue the outstanding two hundred thousand shares which otherwise shall be
due six months from the date hereof.

            Not later than one year from the date of this Agreement, Company
shall file a SB-1, SB-2, S-8 (or other applicable form) registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to which the Company will register
or qualify the Restricted Stock to the extent requisite to permit the public
offering and sale of the Restricted Stock, and Company will use its best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly a
practicable. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the
filing of such registration statement. Regardless of the foregoing, all
Restricted Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall have "piggyback"
registration rights in the first and any registrations filed by the Company
subsequent to the date of this Agreement, and all of the shares covered by this
Agreement shall be registered in the first of any such registrations by Company
regardless of whether held by Financial Advisor or any subsequent owner.
