hereinafter set forth.

         Consultant is hereby engaged as general consultant and advisor to ER
and will provide such consultation and advice as ER may reasonably request.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Consultant hereby agrees (and
shall cause its directors, officers, employees and agents to agree) to (a) use
its (or their) reasonable efforts to promote the interests of ER (b) use its (or
their) best efforts to procure "Relationships" for ER in the manner provided in

     SECTION 1.4. NATURE OF RELATIONSHIP. Consultant is an independent
contractor for federal and state income tax purposes together with any other
withholding tax purposes and, for the avoidance of doubt, is not an employee,
agent or partner ER for any purposes including but not limited to compensation,

     SECTION 1.7. CONSULTANT FEES. Consultant shall receive a monthly consulting
fee having a total value of $8,333 USD ("Fee"), payable within fifteen (15) days
after the end of each month, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that until ER sells common stock

results in the receipt by ER of at least $1,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds
(a "Financing"), only $5,000 USD of the Fee shall be due and owing to Consultant
each month and Consultant shall accrue the unpaid portion of the Fee. Should ER
consummate a Financing, ER shall then pay to Consultant the accrued unpaid
balance, if any, of the Consulting Fee due to Consultant at the time of the
Financing.

     SECTION 1.8. EXPENSES. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by ER,
Consultant shall be responsible for and shall pay all of its own expenses
incurred in connection with its performance of services under this Agreement.

     SECTION 1.9. NO OTHER PAYMENT OR RIGHTS. Consultant acknowledges and agrees
that, except for the compensation set forth in SECTION 1.7, it will not have any
rights to receive compensation from ER for any transactions or arrangements with
a "relationship", and will not seek or accept compensation from a potential or
existing relationships in consideration of any existing or prospective business
arrangement between such a relationship and ER. Except for payment of amounts to
Consultant under SECTION 1.7, ER shall not be under any obligation to provide
Consultant with any further information, notices or updates regarding its

arrangements with a "Relationship".

                                  ARTICLE II.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     SECTION 2.1. INDEMNITY. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant
shall indemnify and hold harmless ER and its members, officers, directors,
agents and employees from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses
of any kind including but not limited to attorneys' fees, which arise out of or
result from, or allegedly arise out of or result from, Consultant's performance
or obligations under this Agreement or resulting from any partnership, alliance
or other venture with a "relationship" caused or alleged to be caused in whole
or in part by any act or omission of Consultant or of its employees or agents,
and/or by a breach or alleged breach by Consultant of any representation,
warranty or covenant made in this Agreement and/or any statement made by
Consultant to a "relationship" or other party not in furtherance of Consultant's
performance under this Agreement. Such obligation shall not be construed to
negate, abridge, or otherwise reduce any other right or obligation of indemnity
which would otherwise exist as to any party or person described in this SECTION
2.1.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                            CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

     SECTION 3.1. CONFIDENTIALITY. Consultant agrees that it will not at any
time, whether during or after the termination or cessation of its engagement,
except as expressly authorized by ER in writing and for its benefit, use,
divulge, or disclose (or enable anyone else to use, divulge, or disclose) to any
person or entity any Proprietary Information (as defined below) which it
presently possesses or which it may obtain during the course of its engagement.
Consultant shall keep strictly confidential all Proprietary Information
entrusted to it and shall not use or attempt to use any such Proprietary
Information in any manner which may injure or cause loss or may be calculated to
injure or cause loss, whether directly or indirectly, to ER, any Affiliate or
any Relationship. Consultant further agrees that upon the termination of its
engagement (irrespective of the time, manner, or cause of termination) it will
surrender and deliver to ER all Relationships or other lists, computer discs and
records, plans, sketches, documents, books, records, files, notes, memoranda and
data, or other materials of every kind relating to any matter, and all copies
thereof, within the scope of ER's or any Affiliate's business or related in any
way to any of ER's or any Affiliate's business, Customer or other entities with
which ER does business. Consultant recognizes that the disclosure of Proprietary
Information by it may give rise to irreparable injury to ER, which may not be
adequately compensated by damages. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by Consultant of this


                                       59

disclosing, in whole or in part, the Proprietary Information defined in this
Section, or from rendering any services to any person, firm, corporation,

in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein
shall be construed as prohibiting ER from pursuing any other remedies available
to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages
from Consultant. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Parties agree that Consultant may properly divulge Proprietary Information if it
is compelled to do so by a court of law, administrative agency, or other binding
legal process or procedure; provided, that, Consultant has given ER reasonable
advance written notice of such impending disclosure so that ER may obtain an
appropriate protective order or any other protective action. Further,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree
that Consultant shall continue to own the list of contacts which it brings to
the consulting relationship, and shall have no obligation to include this
contact list in the materials which it is obligated to return to ER upon
termination of its engagement. These undertakings shall survive the termination
of Consultant's engagement.

     SECTION 3.2. DEFINITION OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. The term "Proprietary

its engagement by ER; or (ii) is or becomes publicly known through no fault of
Consultant.

     SECTION 3.3. DEFINITION OF AFFILIATE. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Affiliates" shall include any person or entity which controls ER, any entity
controlled by ER and any entity under common control with ER, and any person who
is or was an employee, officer, member, contractor, consultant, agent, client,

request of ER, Consultant will deliver to ER all property of ER relating to, and
all tangible embodiments of, Work Product in Consultant's possession or control.

owned by him or in which he has an interest ("Item"), Company is hereby granted
and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide
license to make, have made, modify, reproduce, display, transmit, perform, use,
and sell such Item as part of or in connection with such Work Product.

     Consultant shall, from time to time, upon ER request, execute, acknowledge,
and deliver such instruments as may be necessary and proper to evidence,
maintain, effectuate, or defend any and all of the rights of ER under any
provision of this Agreement, as well as perfect, protect, evidence and renew
ER's rights in the Work Product and/or to effectuate any other of the purposes
and intents of this Agreement. ER shall have, and is hereby granted, the right
and power for and on behalf of Consultant, as Consultant's attorney-in-fact, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver any such instruments which Consultant shall
fail to execute, acknowledge or deliver within five business days after ER's
request therefor. ER's foregoing authority as attorney-in-fact is a right and
power coupled with an interest and is forever irrevocable.
