                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

         The Company wishes to retain the Consultant on a  non-exclusive  basis,
and the  Consultant  wishes to be retained by the Company to assist the Company,
and to provide to the Company the "Services" set forth below, all upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

         NOW, THEREFORE,  for good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and
sufficiency  of which are hereby  acknowledged,  the Company and the  Consultant

         2.       DUTIES OF  CONSULTANT.  The  Consultant has performed and will

availability:  (a) serving as Interim Chief Executive  Officer and Interim Chief
Financial Officer, and (b) such other services related thereto as are reasonably
requested by the Company's Board of Directors (the  "SERVICES").  The Consultant
will  determine,  in his sole  discretion,  the  method,  details  and  means of
performing  the  Services,  but will at all times  provide the Services  through
James  Chamberlain.  James  Chamberlain shall not be required to devote his full
time and business  attention to the  performance of the Services;  PROVIDED that
Consultant  shall cause James  Chamberlain to give priority to the Services over
his other business obligations.

         3.       COMPENSATION.  As compensation  for the Services,  the Company
will pay to the Consultant the sum of $30,000 (the "CONSULTING FEE"), payable in
installments  of $5,000 per calendar  month (pro rated for any partial  month of
the  Term);  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that  any  remaining  unpaid  portion  of  the
Consulting Fee shall be paid to the Consultant in a lump sum upon the closing of
a  Company  Transaction.  James  Chamberlain  shall  continue  to  receive  such
additional compensation as paid to the Company's non-employee directors pursuant
to the Company's Board of Directors compensation policies as in effect from time
to time.
