                           under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they

                           limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. It is
                           understood that the certificates evidencing the stock

                           Acts, or pursuant to an exemption from registration
                           under the Act and qualification under applicable
                           State Acts, the availability of which is to be
                           established to the reasonable satisfaction of Force
                           10.
                                    B. OFFICE SPACE. The Company will provide
                           offices and associated services to the Consultants so
                           that they may trade and mentor from the Force 10
                           offices.
                                    C. EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING SERVICES. The
                           Company will set up, with cooperation of the
                           Consultants an education and training company to be

                           any fund raising in excess of $1 million, the Company
                           agrees to loan the Consultants $200,000 for their
                           trading account, the terms to be agreed upon by
                           mutual consent.

                  E.       COMMISSIONS AND FINDERS FEES.
                                            i) ACQUISITIONS. In the event that
                                    Consultants introduces Force 10 to any
                                    potential acquisition or merger candidate (a
                                    "Candidate") and Force 10 closes on a
                                    transaction with a Candidate, a Commission
                                    of five percent (5%) of the purchase price

                                    transaction. For example, a cash purchase of
                                    a Candidate shall require a cash Commission
                                    from Force 10 to Consultants and a stock

                                             ii) FUNDING. In the event that
                                    Consultants introduces or otherwise arranges

                                    Fee of five percent (5%) of the gross amount
                                    funded will be due to Consultants. Fees due
                                    under this subparagraph shall be payable in
                                    cash within five (5) days of funding.

                                    the Company's offices and the gross amount
                                    of this commission shall be limited to seven
                                    hundred and fifty dollars ($750.00) per
                                    month.

4.       ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This agreement encompasses all the terms of the
         agreement between the parties hereto, and this agreement supersedes any
         and all other agreements, either orally or in writing, between the
         parties hereto with respect to the matters discussed herein. Any
         modifications of this agreement will be effective only if set forth in
         a writing signed by both parties. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the
         parties of this agreement agree that a separate agreement outlining the
         details of a licensing and resale agreement of the Consultant's

         parties intentions.

         prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
         ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
         without invalidating the remainder of such provision or of the
         remaining provisions of this agreement.

6.       GOVERNING LAW. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with,
         and governed by, the laws of the State of Utah.
