reasonably determine shall be required to perform his duties and
responsibilities hereunder on behalf of the Company faithfully, diligently and

Company hereby expressly agrees that the Executive may continue to engage in
such other business activities; provided, however, the Executive does hereby
covenant and agree that in connection with engaging in any such other business

            (c) The Executive shall do such traveling as may reasonably be
required in connection with the performance of such duties and responsibilities;

            (d) Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Company shall cause
the Executive to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors of the
Company, and, if so elected, the Board of Directors shall elect him to the
position of Chairman of the Board of Directors.

      2. Term of Employment; Termination.

            (a) Subject to prior termination in accordance with Section 2(b)
below, the Executive's full-time employment hereunder shall commence on the
Effective Date and shall continue through and including March 31, 2004 (the
"Initial Term"). Following the Initial Term, this Agreement shall continue on
the same terms and conditions set forth herein for additional one (1) year
periods (each a "Renewal Period"), unless either the Company or the Executive
elects to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other given not
later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Initial Term or
any Renewal Period.

            (b) In addition to termination at the end of the Initial Term or any
Renewal Period, this Agreement:

                  (i) may be terminated at any time upon mutual written
agreement of the Company and the Executive;

                  (ii) may be terminated at any time, at the option of the
Executive, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Company, in the
event that (A) the Company shall fail to make any material payment to the
Executive required to be made under the terms of this Agreement, or (B) the
Company shall fail to perform any other material covenant or agreement to be
performed by the Company under this Agreement or under the Registration Rights
Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and shall fail to cure or remedy same within
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by the Executive to the Company;

                  (iii) may be terminated, at the option of the Board of the
Company (the Executive abstaining from any such vote), at any time "for cause"
(as hereinafter defined);


                                                                               2
<PAGE>

                  (iv) may be terminated, at the option of the Company, at any
time in the event of the "permanent disability" (as hereinafter defined) of the
Executive; or

                  (v) shall automatically terminate upon the death of the
Executive.

            (c) As used herein, the term "for cause" shall mean and be limited
to the mutual agreement of the parties or a final determination as provided in
Section 11 of this Agreement that there has occurred: (i) a material breach of
this Agreement by the Executive which in any case was not corrected within
thirty (30) days after written notice of same from the Company to the Executive
(which notice shall specify in detail the nature of Executive's alleged breach);
(ii) gross negligence or malfeasance by the Executive in the performance of his
duties and responsibilities hereunder; (iii) in the absence of a breach by the
Company of its obligations hereunder, the voluntary resignation by Executive as
an employee of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company, or
(iv) the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct which is demonstrably and
materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise. No act or failure
to act on the Executive's part shall deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to
be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that
the Executive's action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.

            (d) As used herein, the term "permanent disability" shall mean, and
be limited to, any physical or mental illness, disability or impairment that
prevents, or is reasonably likely to prevent, the Executive from continuing the
performance of his normal duties and responsibilities hereunder for a period (i)
in excess of six (6) consecutive months, or (ii) of six (6) months or more
(whether or not consecutive) in any twelve (12) month period. For purposes of
determining whether a "permanent disability" has occurred under this Agreement,
the written determination thereof by two (2) qualified practicing physicians
selected and paid for by the Company (and reasonably acceptable to the
Executive) shall be conclusive.

            (e) Upon any termination of this Agreement as provided in Section
2(b), the Executive (or his estate or legal representatives, as the case may be)
shall be entitled to receive any and all (i) earned but unpaid Base Salary (as
such term is hereinafter defined) appropriately prorated to and as of the
effective date of termination (based on the number of days elapsed prior to the
date of termination), and (ii) any other amounts then due and payable to the
Executive hereunder; provided, however,

                  (A) if such termination was as a result of the application of
the provisions of Section 2(b)(ii) above, in addition to any other amounts then
due and payable to the Executive, the Executive or his estate or legal
representatives shall be entitled to receive the Base Salary through the entire
Initial Term of this Agreement or any Renewal Period, if applicable; and

                  (B) if such termination was as a result of the application of
the provisions of Section 2(b)(iv) or Section 2(b)(v) above, in addition to any
other amounts then due and payable to the Executive, the Executive or his estate
or legal representatives shall be entitled to receive the Base Salary for a
period equal to the lesser of eighteen (18) months following the effective date
of termination of this Agreement or the remaining Initial Term of this Agreement
or any Renewal Period, if applicable.


                                                                               3
<PAGE>

            All such payments shall be made on the next applicable payment date
therefor (as provided in Section 3 below) following the effective date of
termination. Such payments shall constitute all amounts to which the Executive
(or his estate or legal representative) shall be entitled upon termination of
this Agreement.

            (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if it shall be established or mutually agreed that termination of
this Agreement by the Executive under the provisions of Section 2(b)(ii) above
was valid and for good reason, in addition to (and not in lieu of) any other
payments and remedies then available to the Executive pursuant to Section 2(e)
above, all Options granted under Section 4 of this Agreement shall become fully
Vested Options (as hereinafter defined), and all payments under Section 401(k)
plans for the benefit of the Executive shall become fully vested, to the extent
permitted under any then existing plans.

      3. Compensation and Benefits.

            (a) Base Salary. As compensation for his services to be rendered
hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Executive an annual base salary of Six

(ii) payroll deductions and other withholdings as and to the extent required by
law from time to time. Such Base Salary shall be payable to the Executive in
accordance with the Company's payroll practices.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as the Company shall
have received gross proceeds aggregating Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars or
more from any one or more public or private issuance of debt or equity
securities of the Company, strategic alliance, joint venture, partnership,
lease, franchise or license agreement which shall be approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company (individually a "Financing" and collectively
"Financings"), fifty (50%) percent the Executive's Base Salary shall accrue, as
hereinafter provided, and be deferred. At such time as one or more Financings of
Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars or more shall have been obtained, all accrued
and unpaid Base Salary, calculated from the Effective Date of this Agreement
shall become immediately due and payable to the Executive or his legal
representatives.

            In addition to (and not in lieu of) the foregoing Base Salary, in
recognition of the significant services heretofore performed by the Executive on
an emergency basis, the Company does hereby award to the Executive a signing
bonus of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand (150,000) shares of Company Common
Stock, to be issued to the Executive as soon as practicable following the
execution and delivery of this Agreement.

            (b) Annual Increases in Base Salary. Effective as of April 1, 2002

<PAGE>

            Anniversary Period                        Base Salary
            ------------------                        -----------

            April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004           $725,000

one-half (7.5%) percent of the "Company Net Pre-Tax Earnings" (as hereinafter
defined) achieved by the Company in each of the fiscal years of the Company
immediately preceding the Anniversary Date in question, commencing with the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. As used herein, the term "Company Net

2001), including all extraordinary gains or losses, all as set forth on the
audited consolidated statements of income(loss) of the Company for such fiscal
year, plus the amount actually deducted on the statements of income for such

profit-sharing plan, retirement savings plan, 401(k) plan, or other such benefit
plan or policy which may presently be in effect or which may hereafter be
adopted by the Company for the benefit of its employees generally; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Company to

amending or terminating any plan or policy. Except for his eligibility under
COBRA or as provided in any such benefit plan, the Executive acknowledges that
he will cease to be eligible for all or substantially all of such fringe
benefits following the conclusion of his full-time employment, and the Executive

throughout the Initial Term of this Agreement and any Renewal Period shall
maintain and pay the premiums on, one or more policies of term life insurance
insuring the life of the Executive in the amount of $3,000,000. Upon the death

ownership of such life insurance policy(ies) to the Executive or his designee,
provided, that such assignee shall pay all premiums on such life insurance from
and after the date of such assignment.

also reimburse the Executive, upon presentment by the Executive to the Company
of appropriate receipts and vouchers therefore, for any and all actual and
reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by the Executive in
connection with the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder;

policies and procedures in effect from time to time. To the extent that the

exchange, for thirty (30) consecutive trading days shall be at least $5.00 per
share.

            (f) Subject at all times to immediate vesting of all Unvested
Options upon the occurrence of an Early Vesting Event, in the event that this

any of the reasons specified in Section 2 (other than Section 2(b)(ii)) above),
all Unvested Options as at the date of such termination shall be forfeited by
the Executive and shall terminate and be deemed to have expired as at the date

            (a) Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms or conditions hereof
may be waived, amended or modified except by means of a written instrument duly
executed by the party to be charged therewith. Any waiver or amendment shall
only be applicable in the specific instance, and shall not constitute or be
construed as a waiver or amendment in any other or subsequent instance. No

            (c) The captions and section headings used in this Agreement are for

construed and controlled by and under the laws of the State of California.

            (e) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

            (f) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original hereof, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

            (g) This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement and
understanding between the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof, and

and nature between them as to such subject matter.

            (h) This Agreement is intended for the sole and exclusive benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, and no other person
or entity shall have any right to rely on this Agreement or to claim or derive
any benefit herefrom absent the express written consent of the party to be
charged with such reliance or benefit.


                                                                              10

                  (i) If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable, either in its entirety or by virtue of its scope or application
to given circumstances, such provision shall thereupon be deemed modified only
to the extent necessary to render same valid, or not applicable to given
circumstances, or excised from this Agreement, as the situation may require; and
this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had been
included herein as so modified in scope or application, or had not been included
herein, as the case may be.

      11. Resolution of Disputes, Binding Arbitration.

            (a) Whenever a claim shall arise involving the interpretation or
application of this Agreement, the complaining party shall so notify the other
party in writing. Such notice shall specify all facts known to the complaining
party giving rise to such claim or dispute and shall estimate (to the extent
reasonably possible) the amount of potential liability arising therefrom. If the
other party shall be duly notified of such dispute, the parties shall attempt to
settle and compromise the same.

            (b) In the event that any dispute involving the interpretation or
application of this Agreement which cannot be settled or compromised, as
aforesaid, within twenty (20) days of receipt of the subject claim, either the
complaining party or the other party shall promptly thereafter submit the
dispute for final and binding arbitration to JAMS or End-Dispute before a
three-person panel of arbitrators who shall be either (i) retired federal
judges, or (ii) other persons experienced in resolving commercial disputes and
who are acceptable to both the complaining party and the other party to such
dispute (the "Arbitration"). Any such Arbitration shall be in Los Angeles,
California. The panel of arbitrators shall be selected within twenty (20) days
of submission of such dispute to Arbitration. The parties shall use their
collective best efforts to promptly schedule and conduct the hearings before
such arbitrators, with a view toward concluding such arbitration proceedings not
later than thirty (30) days from the first submission of the dispute to
arbitration. In addition to, and not in lieu of, arbitration as a means of
dispute resolution hereunder, any party hereto shall have the right to seek
specific enforcement of this Agreement, or other injunctive or equitable relief
or remedy before any court of competent jurisdiction.

            (c) In connection with any Arbitration pursuant to this Section 11,
the arbitrators shall, as part of their award, allocate the fee of the
Arbitration, including all fees of the arbitrators, the cost of any transcripts,
and the parties' reasonable attorneys' fees, based upon and taking into account
the arbitrators' determination of the merits and good faith of the parties'
claims and defenses in the subject proceeding.

            (d) The decision and award of the arbitrators shall be final and
binding upon the parties hereto and shall be enforceable in any court of
competent jurisdiction, including any federal or state court in the State of
California. Any process or other papers hereunder may be served by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service, provided that
a reasonable time for appearance or response is allowed.

            (e) Any rights established by reason of such settlement, compromise,
arbitration or litigation shall promptly thereafter be satisfied by the losing
party in such amount


                                                                              11

as shall be necessary to satisfy all applicable losses or damages sustained or
incurred by the complaining party, as determined in accordance with such
settlement and compromise, or by final nonappealable order or judgment of the
applicable judicial or arbitration panel.

            (f) In connection with the defense of any third party claims for
which claims for indemnification have been made hereunder, each party will
provide reasonable access to its and the Company's books and records as and to
the extent required for the proper defense of such third party claim. Neither
party shall consent to any settlement or purport to bind any other party to any
settlement without the written consent of the other party.

            (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, in the
event and to the extent that the complaining party shall believe that such party
shall then have no adequate remedy at law, the complaining party shall have the
right, in addition to and not in lieu of the right to obtain compensatory or
other monetary relief, to seek and obtain injunctive relief, specific
performance or such other equitable remedies as any court of competent
jurisdiction shall deem appropriate in the circumstances.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on and
as of the date first set forth above.
