EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      This Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (the "Effective Date"), is between
Haim Ariav (the "Executive"), SuperStock Inc., a corporation formed under the
laws of the State of Florida (the "Company") and a21, Inc., a corporation formed
under the laws of the State of Texas ("a21").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive, and the Executive is
willing to render services to the Company, on the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants,
agreements and promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and
agree as follows:

      1. EMPLOYMENT. The Company shall employ the Executive as its President,
Chief Creative Officer, and he shall be Chief Creative Officer of a21, and the
Executive hereby accepts such employment upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth, commencing on the Effective Date and
continuing until terminated pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof (the "Employment
Period").

      2. DUTIES.

            (a) The Executive shall report to the Company's Board of Directors
through its Chief Executive Officer (the "Board") and a21, Inc.'s Board of
Directors through its Chief Executive Officer (the "a21 Board"). The Executive
shall perform and discharge diligently and faithfully such duties as may be
assigned to him from time to time by the Board and the a21 Board as are
customary for the position of President, Chief Creative Officer. The Executive
shall be based in the Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan area, but his position
will require reasonable travel outside of such area.

            (b) The Executive shall devote his full business time, attention,
skills and energies to the performance of his duties hereunder and to the
promotion of the business of the Company, consistent with such duties, and shall
not during the Employment Period be employed or engaged in any other business
activity, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other
pecuniary advantage; provided, however, that this shall not be construed as
preventing the Executive from investing his personal assets in businesses which
do not compete with the Company and engaging in not-for-profit and civic
activities that do not interfere with the Executive's duties.

      3. COMPENSATION.

            (a) Salary. For services rendered by the Executive hereunder during
the Employment Period, the Company shall pay him a base salary (the "Salary") at
the annual gross rate of One Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($110,000) in
accordance with the Company's ordinary payroll practices. Upon the Company
closing on a credit facility in excess of $500,000 ("Credit Facility") which is

<PAGE>

not part of refinancing any existing credit facility or closing an acquisition
with in excess of $5,000,000 of revenue in the 12 months prior to closing
("Acquisition"), then the Salary shall increase to One Hundred Twenty Thousand
Dollars ($120,000) as of the first day of the month thereafter. An employment
review will take place on an annual basis. Any increases in the Salary rate
shall be determined by the Chief Executive Officers of the Company and a21 after
the employment review. If the Company revenue increases based on a pro forma
basis or based on a three (3) month trailing revenue run rate equal to or
greater than $12 million per year, and the Company is profitable for that
period, then the Salary shall increase to an amount determined by the Chief
Executive Officers of the Company and a21 as of the first day of the month
thereafter.

            (b) Bonus. At the beginning of the Employment Period, a21 shall pay
the Executive additional compensation in the form of a bonus (the "Bonus") of
250,000 common shares of a21. The common shares shall be issued as of the
Effective Date, but shall vest in equal shares on each of August 31, 2005,
February 28, 2006, August 31, 2006 and February 28, 2007. In addition, during
the Employment Period, the Executive is eligible to receive an additional bonus
(the "Additional Bonus") the amount of which, if any, shall be determined solely
and in the good faith judgment of the Company, taking into consideration and
giving equal weight to (i) the Executive's performance, and (ii) the performance
of the Company. Additional Bonuses shall be determined on an annual basis or
otherwise as determined by the Chief Executive Officers of the Company and a21
and are subject to the Company's ordinary payroll practices and may be paid in
cash and nonqualified stock options or restricted common shares of a21. As soon
after the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date as is practicable, at
the discretion of the Chief Executive Officers of the Company and a21, a21 shall
award an Additional Bonus of 300,000 common shares of a21. The Additional Bonus
shall vest at the same rate as the Bonus as if it had been issued on the
Effective Date. The entire Bonus and any Additional Bonus shall immediately vest
upon a change in control of a21. If nothing contained in this agreement is to
the contrary, any unvested portion of the Bonus or Additional Bonus may be
repurchased by the Company for $.01 per common share (with customary adjustments
for splits etc.) within 30 days of Termination, as defined in and subject to the
terms and conditions of Paragraph 4.

            (c) Stock Options. Subject to final approval of the Board of
Directors of a21, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, as soon as
practicable following the Effective Date, nonqualified stock options in
accordance with the terms of the a21 stock option plan and the standard stock
option agreement thereunder; provided, however, that such options shall provide
the Executive with the right to purchase 400,000 common shares of a21 at a
purchase price of $.30 per common share which shall vest in equal shares on each
of August 31, 2005, February 28, 2006, August 31, 2006 and February 28, 2007.
All options shall immediately vest upon a change in control. As soon after the
six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date as is practicable, at the
discretion of the Chief Executive Officers of the Company and a21, a21 shall
grant an option with the right to purchase an additional 300,000 common shares
of a21. The option shall vest as if it had been issued on the Effective Date.

            (d) Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Company shall
provide the Executive with any medical, insurance, 401(k), pension, vacation or
other employee benefits made available to similarly situated executives of the
Company from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Company's standard


                                       2
<PAGE>

benefits plans and policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive will
receive four (4) weeks vacation.

            (e) Expense Reimbursement. The Executive is authorized to incur
reasonable expenses related to the performance of his duties under this
Agreement in accordance with budgets and guidelines established by the Company
from time to time or otherwise approved by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. The Company shall promptly reimburse the Executive for all such
expenses in accordance with its expense reimbursement policy in effect from time
to time.

            (f) Taxes. All payments and benefits provided to the Executive
hereunder shall be reported as taxable income to the extent required by law and
shall be subject to applicable income and payroll withholding taxes.

      4. TERM AND TERMINATION.

            (a) The term of this Agreement (the "Employment Period") shall
commence on the Effective Date and continue for thirty-six (36) months unless
terminated earlier in accordance with this Paragraph 4.

            (b) Termination Without Cause. Either party hereto may terminate
this Agreement and the Executive's employment for any reason at any time during
the Employment Period, effective upon sixty (60) days written notice to the
other party. In the event the Company terminates this Agreement and the
Executive's employment without Cause (as hereinafter defined), the Company shall
pay to the Executive (i) any unpaid Salary accrued as of the date of
termination, (ii) any unused vacation days accrued as of the date of
termination, and (iii) the lesser of 1) the Salary due under any remaining term
of this Agreement (but no less than six(6) months), and 2) the Salary due for a
period of ten (10) months following the date of notice of termination - in
either case in installments in accordance with the Company's ordinary payroll
practices. In addition, solely for purposes of determining the portion of any
Bonus or Additional Bonus awarded to the Executive under Paragraph 3(b) and
Stock Options under Paragraph 3(c) that has vested, the shares or options that
would have vested on the vesting date next succeeding the date of termination of
employment, but for the termination without Cause, shall be vested as of the
date of the termination of Executive's employment. The Executive shall not be
entitled to any further payments or benefits except as required by any federal
or state law requiring continuation of benefits and except as may be provided in
any stock option agreement.

            (c) Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement
and the Executive's employment for Cause (as hereinafter defined) at any time,
effective immediately upon giving the Executive written notice of such
termination. As used herein, the term "Cause" shall mean any of the following
events:

                  (i) the Executive's conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo
contendere, or no contest to a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude (which is
likely to have an adverse effect on the Company or the Executive's ability to
perform his duties hereunder) or a felony which may result in a term of
imprisonment;


                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (ii) the Executive's breach of this Agreement or willful
failure to carry out the lawful directives of the Board or the a21 Board
consistent with Paragraph 2(a) hereof (provided the Company has given the
Employee advance written notice specifying the nature of such breach or failure
to carry out the lawful directives of the Board or the a21 Board and a period of
at least fifteen (15) days to cure such breach or failure); or

                  (iii) the Executive's (A) willful gross misconduct, including,
without limitation, dishonesty, fraud or theft, or (B) willful bad faith act or
failure to act that is injurious to the business or reputation of the Company.

            In the event of termination for Cause, the Company shall pay to the
Executive any unpaid Salary and any unused vacation days accrued as of the date
of termination, and the Executive shall not be entitled to any further payments
or benefits except as required by any federal or state law requiring
continuation of benefits and except as may be provided in any stock option
agreement, as the case may be.

            (d) Death. If the Executive dies during the Employment Period, this
Agreement and the Executive's employment shall terminate as of the date of his
death. The Company shall pay to the Executive's estate any unpaid Salary and any
unused vacation days accrued as of the date of termination, and the Executive's
estate shall not be entitled to any further payments or benefits pursuant to
Paragraph 3 except as required by any federal or state law requiring
continuation of benefits and except as may be provided in any stock option
agreement, as the case may be.

            (e) Disability. If the Executive is incapacitated by accident,
sickness or otherwise so as to render him mentally or physically incapable of
performing the services required of him under this Agreement (referred to herein
as a "Disability") for (i) a period of ninety (90) consecutive days or (ii) for
an aggregate of one hundred twenty (120) business days during any twelve (12)
month period, the Company may terminate this Agreement and the Executive's
employment effective immediately after the expiration of either of such periods,
upon giving the Executive written notice of such termination. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provision, if it is determined by the Company that the Executive
has a "disability" as defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the
Executive's employment shall not be terminated on the basis of such disability
unless it is first determined by the Company after consultation with the
Executive that there is no reasonable accommodation which would permit the
Executive to perform the essential functions of his position without imposing an
undue hardship on the Company.

            In the event the Executive is determined to have a Disability
hereunder and receives payments under any disability plan maintained by the
Company for its employees or under any other arrangement maintained by the
Company for the Executive, such payments shall reduce and offset any Salary
payable to the Executive pursuant to Paragraph 3 hereof, to extent permitted
under such plan or arrangement. In the event of termination pursuant to this
Subparagraph 4(e), the Company shall pay to the Executive (i) any unpaid Salary
accrued as of the date of termination, and (ii) any unused vacation days accrued
as of the date of termination, and the Executive shall not be entitled to any
further payments or benefits pursuant to Paragraph 3 except as required by any


                                       4
<PAGE>

federal or state law requiring continuation of benefits and except as may be
provided in any stock option agreement, as the case may be.

      5. NON-SOLICITATION.

            (a) Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive hereby agrees that
during the Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year thereafter (the
"Survival Period"), he shall not, directly or indirectly through any other
individual, person or entity, employ, solicit or induce any individual who is,
or was at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the Executive's
employment by the Company, an employee of the Company to terminate or refrain
from renewing or extending his or her employment by the Company or to become
employed by or enter into a contractual relationship with the Executive or any
other individual, person or entity. For the purposes of Paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of
this Agreement the "Company" shall be deemed to include the Company and each of
its Affiliates. For the purposes hereof, Affiliates shall mean with respect to
any person, any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or
under common control with, such other person at any time during the period for
which the determination of affiliation is being made.

            (b) Non-Solicitation of Suppliers or Vendors. The Executive hereby
agrees that during the Employment Period and the Survival Period he shall not,
directly or indirectly through any other individual, person or entity, solicit,
persuade or induce any individual, person or entity which is, or at any time
during the Employment Period was, a supplier of any product or service to the
Company, or vendor of the Company (whether as a distributor, agent, commission
agent, employee or otherwise), to terminate, reduce or refrain from renewing or
extending his, her or its contractual or other relationship with the Company.

            (c) Non-Solicitation of Customers. The Executive hereby agrees that
during the Employment Period and the Survival Period he shall not, directly or
indirectly through any other individual, person or entity, solicit, persuade or
induce any individual, person or entity which is, or at any time during the
Employment Period was, a customer of the Company to terminate, reduce or refrain
from renewing or extending its contractual or other relationship with the
Company in regard to the purchase of products or services manufactured, marketed
or sold by the Company, or to become a customer of or enter into any contractual
or other relationship with the Executive or any other individual, person or
entity in regard to the purchase of products or services similar or identical to
those manufactured, marketed or sold by the Company.

      6. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Executive agrees that during the Employment
Period, and thereafter, he shall not divulge to anyone, other than as necessary
in the performance of his duties hereunder or as required by law or legal
process, confidential information of the Company, its affiliates or its
customers, including, without limitation, know-how, trade secrets, customer
lists, costs, profits or margin information, markets, sales, pricing policies,
operational methods, plans for future development, data, drawings, samples,
processes or products and other information disclosed to the Executive or known
by him as a result of or through his employment by the Company, which is not
generally known in the businesses in which the Company is engaged and which
relates directly or indirectly to the Company's products or services or which is
directly or indirectly useful in any aspect of the Company's business. In the
event the Company is bound by a confidentiality agreement with a customer,


                                       5
<PAGE>

supplier or other party regarding the confidential information of such customer,
supplier or other party, which provides greater protection than specified above
in this Paragraph 6, the provisions of such other confidentiality agreement
shall be binding upon the Executive and shall not be superseded by this
Paragraph 6. Upon the termination of the Executive's employment hereunder or at
any other time upon the Company's request, the Executive shall deliver forthwith
to the Company all memoranda, notes, records, reports, computer disks and other
documents (including all copies thereof) containing such confidential
information.

      7. NON-COMPETITION. The Executive hereby agrees that during the Employment
Period and the Survival Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly,
anywhere in the entire United States, own, manage, operate, control or
participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be
connected as an officer, employee, partner, director, independent contractor or
in any other capacity with, or have any financial interest in, or aid or assist
anyone else in the manufacture, sale or representation of products or the
provision of services identical or similar to the products and services
manufactured, sold, represented or provided by the Company, and which products
or services are marketed to the same customer base as the products or services
offered by the Company, at any time during the Employment Period or the Survival
Period, or which are included in any business plans of the Company in existence
and under consideration at the time of termination and of which Executive was
aware.

      8. REMEDIES. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company's
remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of
Paragraphs 5, 6 or 7 of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition
of that fact, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of
any of the provisions of Paragraphs 5, 6 or 7 of this Agreement, it is agreed
that in addition to its remedy at law, the Company shall be entitled to
appropriate equitable relief in the form of specific performance, preliminary or
permanent injunction, temporary restraining order or any other appropriate
equitable remedy which may then be available. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that,
although the Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in
Paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 to be reasonable for the purpose of preserving the
Company's goodwill and other proprietary rights, if a final judicial
determination is made by a court having jurisdiction that the time and scope of
the restrictions in such Paragraphs is an unreasonable or otherwise
unenforceable restriction against the Executive, the provisions of such
Paragraphs shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to
the maximum time and scope permitted and to such other extent as the court may
determine to be reasonable.

      9. REPRESENTATION/WARRANTY. The Executive represents and warrants that he
is not bound by the terms of a confidentiality agreement or non-competition
agreement or any other agreement with a former employer or other third party
which would preclude him from accepting employment by the Company or which would
preclude him from effectively performing his duties for the Company. The Company
represents and warrants that it has all requisite corporate power and authority
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that this
Agreement is binding on the Company and enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms.

thereof. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive
