Dear Ted:

This letter shall serve to confirm our agreement as follows:

1.   You hereby agree to retain Dennard Rupp Gray & Easterly, LLC ("DRG&E")
     effective as of April 1, 2005 to provide IR Counsel(R) - our investor
     relations services and advice with respect to financial community
     relations, press relations, shareholder relations and related matters; as
     well as to provide InsideOutlook(R) - our new outlook development services,
     support and counsel with respect to enhancing current and forward-looking
     disclosures and related matters.

2.   The initial term of this agreement shall be for the period of twelve (12)
     months commencing on April 1, 2005 and expiring on March 31, 2006. From and
     after March 31, 2006 this agreement shall automatically continue in full
     force and effect, provided however, that either party may terminate this
     agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice of termination to the
     other party given at any time after March 31, 2006. During said ninety (90)
     day notice period, the parties shall continue to perform all of their
     obligations under this agreement including your payment of the monthly
     installments and reimbursement of disbursements under Paragraph 3 hereof.

3.   As compensation for the combination of IR Counsel and InsideOutlook
     services to be rendered by DRG&E hereunder, you shall pay a monthly
     activity fee of $XXXXXX. In addition to the monthly activity fee, you shall
     be responsible for all reasonable and necessary disbursements made by DRG&E
     on your behalf, including, but not limited to, long distance telephone
     calls, postage, photocopies, fax and newswire services, and travel and
     entertainment expenses. Prior to the beginning of each month, DRG&E shall
     bill you the next monthly fee, and you shall reimburse DRG&E for all
     expenses and disbursements made on your behalf as of the date of the
     billing. Invoices are due and payable upon receipt.

4.   DRG&E acknowledges its responsibility to preserve the confidentiality of
     any proprietary information or data developed by DRG&E on behalf of you or
     disclosed by you to DRG&E and agrees that it will maintain such
     confidentiality and will return all confidential information upon
     termination of this agreement.

5.   DRG&E and Morgan Beaumont shall mutually indemnify each other against any
     and all liability, loss, claim or action in connection with performance of
     this agreement or the conditions created thereby. Morgan Beaumont hereby
     acknowledges that DRG&E shall rely upon the accuracy of all information
     provided by you to it. You assume full and complete responsibility and
     liability for any information furnished to DRG&E for its prior Morgan
     Beaumont approved use on your behalf hereunder and you shall indemnify and
     hold harmless DRG&E from and against any demands, claims, or liability in
     relation thereto unless DRG&E uses such information without the consent and
     agreement of Morgan Beaumont. Further, both parties agree they shall pay
     any amounts payable by either party in settlement of any claims or in
     satisfaction of any judgments resulting from the performance of this
     agreement or the use of any information furnished by you in connection with
     the services rendered by DRG&E hereunder, together with all costs and
     expenses incurred in connection therewith, including without limitation,
     reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of litigation. Both parties will be
     consulted upon the choice of attorneys and costs of litigation for each
     other's agreement and consent on those matters.
