and consulting services to the Client in his areas of knowledge and expertise on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for those services Consultant provides to
Client, the parties agree as follows:

1. Services of Consultant. Consultant agrees to develop the marketing of
products of Client on the Internet and otherwise. Consultant will also serve as
an adviser on financial services issues. As such, Consultant will be providing
bona fide services to Client. The services to be provided by Consultant will not
be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction, and will not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market
for Client's securities.

2. Consideration. Client agrees to pay Consultant, as his fee and as
consideration for services provided, eleven million shares of S-8 free trading
common stock in Client. Shares are due and payable immediately upon the
effectiveness of the Form S-8 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission and with any appropriate states securities
administrator. Client also agrees to pay consultant eleven million options to
purchase shares of Client at today's market bid price, which is $0.023. These
options will be exercisable immediately and will remain exercisable for three
years from the date of this contract.

3. Confidentiality. Each party agrees that during the course of this Agreement,
information that is confidential or of a proprietary nature may be disclosed to
the other party, including, but not limited to, product and business plans,
product designs, sales, costs and other unpublished financial information,

<PAGE>

advertising relationships, projections, and marketing data ("Confidential
Information"). Confidential Information shall not include information that the
receiving party can demonstrate (a) is, as of the time of its disclosure, or
thereafter becomes part of the public domain through a source other than the
receiving party, (b) was known to the receiving party as of the time of its
disclosure, (c) is independently developed by the receiving party, or (d) is
subsequently learned from a third party not under a confidentiality obligation
to the providing party.

4. Late Payment. Client shall pay to Consultant all fees within fifteen (15)
days of the due date. Failure of Client to finally pay any fees within fifteen
(15) days after the applicable due date shall be deemed a material breach of
this Agreement, justifying suspension of the performance of the "Services"
provided by Consultant, will be sufficient cause for immediate termination of
this Agreement by Consultant. Any such suspension will in no way relieve Client
from payment of fees, and, in the event of collection enforcement, Client shall
be liable for any costs associated with such collection, including, but not
limited to, legal costs, attorneys' fees, courts costs, and collection agency
fees.

5. Indemnification. (a) Client. Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and shall
hold harmless Consultant and/or his agents, and to defend any action brought
against said parties with respect to any claim, demand, cause of action, debt or
liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent that such action
is based upon a claim that: (i) is true, (ii) would constitute a breach of any
of Client's representations, warranties, or agreements hereunder, or (iii)
arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Client, or any Client
Content to be provided by Client and does not violate any rights of third
parties, including, without limitation, rights of publicity, privacy, patents,
copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and/or licenses. (b) Consultant.
Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend, and shall hold harmless Client, its
directors, employees and agents, and defend any action brought against same with
respect to any claim, demand, cause of action, debt or liability, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent that such an action arises out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Consultant. (c) Notice. In claiming
any indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party shall promptly provide the
indemnifying party with written notice of any claim, which the indemnified party
believes falls within the scope of the foregoing paragraphs. The indemnified
party may, at its expense, assist in the defense if it so chooses, provided that
the indemnifying party shall control such defense, and all negotiations relative
to the settlement of any such claim. Any settlement intended to bind the
indemnified party shall not be final without the indemnified party's written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6. Limitation of Liability. Consultant shall have no liability with respect to
Consultant's obligations under this Agreement or otherwise for consequential,
exemplary, special, incidental, or punitive damages even if Consultant has been
advised of the possibility of such damages. In any event, the liability of
Consultant to Client for any reason and upon any cause of action, regardless of
the form in which the legal or equitable action may be brought, including,
without limitation, any action in tort or contract, shall not exceed ten percent
(10%) of the fee paid by Client to Consultant for the specific service provided
that is in question.

days written notice, or if prior to such action, the other party materially
