      the following sentence (such twelve-month or shorter period resulting from
      early termination is referred to herein as the "Term"). Either party may

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and acknowledged by the

      conclusions about the Company independently, and that the Company shall
      have no involvement therein; and (b) shall not render advice and/or

      connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising
      transaction or that could result in market making.

4.    Expenses. The Company, upon receipt of appropriate supporting
      documentation, shall reimburse Consultant for any and all reasonable
      out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with services
      requested by the Company, including, but not limited to, all charges for
      travel, printing costs and other expenses on the Company's behalf. The
      Company shall pay such expenses promptly upon the presentation of
      invoices. Consultant shall not incur more than $500 in expenses without
      the express consent of the Company.

5.    Compensation. For services to be rendered by Consultant hereunder, the
      Company shall pay Consultant on or before the 1st day of each month during
      the Term, the sum of $8,500.00. In addition, Consultant shall receive from
      the Company, promptly following the execution of this Agreement, options

6.    Glowpoint Circuit. Consultant agrees to order and have installed at its
      premises a Glowpoint circuit for the duration of the Term. The Company
      agrees to provide such circuit to Consultant at the discounted rate the
      Company charges its other strategic partners.

      relationship with the Company, it will be given access to confidential
      information which may include the following types of information;
      financial statements and related financial information with respect to the

            (b) Consultant covenants and agrees to hold such Confidential
      Information strictly confidential and shall only use such information
      solely to perform its duties under this Agreement, and Consultant shall
      refrain from allowing such information to be used in any way for its own
      private or commercial purposes. Consultant shall also refrain from
      disclosing any such Confidential Information to any third parties.
      Consultant further agrees that upon termination or expiration of this
      Agreement, it will return all Confidential Information and copies thereof
      to the Company and will destroy all notes, reports and other materials
      prepared by or for it containing Confidential Information. Consultant
      understands and agrees that the Company would be irreparably harmed by
      violation of this Agreement and that monetary damages may be inadequate to
      compensate the Company. Accordingly, Consultant agrees that, in addition
      to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, the Company
      shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the terms of this
      Agreement.

      developed it without the use of the Confidential Information and who did
      not acquire it directly or indirectly from Consultant under an obligation
      of confidence; (c) which Consultant can show was received by it after the
      termination of this Agreement from a third party who did not acquire it
      directly or indirectly from the Company under an obligation of confidence;
      or (d) to the extent that Consultant can demonstrate such disclosure is
      required by law or in any legal proceeding, governmental investigation, or
      other similar proceeding.

8.    Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed and
      enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New
      York, without reference to principles of conflicts or choice of law
      thereof. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the U.S.
      District Court in the Southern District of New York in connection with any
      dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby waives, to the maximum
      extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on
      forum non conveniens. to the bringing of any such proceeding in such
