                                R E C I T A L S:

      A.    Company is in the primary  Business  of  developing,  marketing  and
            selling  software  products for use in the  operation of  industrial

            it.

      C     The Company  desires to employ the Key Employee and the Key Employee
            desires to accept such employment.

      NOW THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the promises,  mutual  covenants and
agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,  the
receipt and  sufficiency of which are hereby  acknowledged,  the Company and the
Key Employee do hereby agree as follows:

forth in this  Agreement,  the Company  agrees to employ the Key Employee as the
Vice  President-Administration  of the  Company  to perform  such  duties as are
consistent with such  position(s) as may be assigned,  from time to time, by the
Company  and to  render  such  additional  services  and  discharge  such  other
reasonable  responsibilities  as the Company may, from time to time,  stipulate.
Each of the parties  agree that for purposes of this  agreement  the  "BUSINESS"
shall  mean the  development,  technology,  marketing,  maintenance  and sale of

      2.  Performance.  The Key  Employee  accepts the  employment  described in

and efforts except as specifically permitted herein to the faithful and diligent
performance of the services described herein,  including the performance of such
other  services  and  responsibilities  as the Company  may,  from time to time,
stipulate.  Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the Key Employee
ordinarily  shall  devote not less than five days per week  except  for  regular
business holidays observed by the Company, the Key Employee's vacation days, and

additional hours as required.  The Key Employee further agrees that he/she shall
be present on the  Company's  premises or  actively  engaged in service to or on
behalf  of the  Company  at  such  times  during  holidays  or  weekends  as the
performance of his/her duties may reasonably require.

      3. Term.  The term of employment  under this  Agreement  shall commence on
February  24, 2004 (the  "COMMENCEMENT  DATE") and shall  remain in effect for a
period of one (1) year,  ending on February  24, 2005 (the  "TERMINATION  DATE")
(and each subsequent one year anniversary, if extended, as provided herein shall
also be referred  to herein as a  Termination  Date)  unless  sooner  terminated
hereunder  (the  "EMPLOYMENT  PERIOD").  This Agreement  shall be  automatically
extended  each year for an additional  one (1) year period unless  terminated by
either party by giving written notice to the other no less than thirty (30) days
prior to the Termination Date.

however,  shall not be  obligated  to pay any bonus until the Board of Directors
declares such bonus.

Key Employee) and shall not, during his/her  employment by the Company and after
the  termination of such  employment for any reason,  communicate or divulge any
such  information,  knowledge or data to any person,  firm or corporation  other

all such  instruments  as may be  necessary  or  desirable in the opinion of the
Company to vest in the Company the entire  interest in such  inventions,  ideas,
devices,  and  processes  referred  to  above.  The  foregoing  to the  contrary

            (b) The Key Employee agrees and  acknowledges  that the Company does
not have any adequate  remedy at law for the breach or threatened  breach by the

to  injunctive  relief to bar the Key  Employee  from such breach or  threatened
breach in addition to any other  remedies  which may be available to the Company
at law or in equity.

      11. Covenant Not to Compete.

            (a) During Employment Period.  During the Employment Period, the Key
Employee  shall not,  without the prior  written  consent of the Company,  which
consent may be withheld at the sole  discretion  of the  Company,  engage in any
other  business  activity  for  gain,  profit,  or  other  pecuniary   advantage
(excepting  the  investment  of funds in such form or manner as will not require
any services on the part of the Key Employee in the  operation of the affairs of
the companies in which such  investments are made) or engage in or in any manner
be  connected  or  concerned,  directly  or  indirectly,  whether as an officer,
director,  stockholder,  partner, owner, employee,  creditor, or otherwise, with
the operation,  management,  or conduct of any business that competes with or is
of a nature similar to that of the Company.

            (b) Following  Termination of Employment Period.  Within the one (1)
year period immediately  following the later of the end of the Employment Period
or termination of the Key Employee's employment with the Company, for any reason
except as set forth below, the Key Employee shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Company,  which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of
the Company: (a) engage in or in any manner be connected or concerned,  directly
or indirectly,  whether as an officer,  director,  stockholder,  partner, owner,
employee,  creditor, or otherwise with the operation,  management, or conduct of
any business  similar to the Business of the Company being conducted at the time
of such termination  anywhere in the United States,  and any other area in which
the Company is, or reasonably contemplating,  doing Business at the time of such
termination; (b) solicit, contact, interfere with, or divert any customer served
by the Company,  or any prospective  customer  identified by or on behalf of the
Company,  during the Key Employee's  employment with the Company; or (c) solicit
any person then or previously  employed by the Company to join the Key Employee,
whether as a partner, agent, employee or otherwise, in any enterprise engaged in

<PAGE>

            (c)  Severability.  The  covenants of the Key Employee  contained in
Sections 9, 10, and 11 of this Agreement shall each be construed as an agreement
independent of any other provision in this  Agreement,  and the existence of any
claim or cause of  action  of the Key  Employee  against  the  Company,  whether
predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the
enforcement  by the Company of such  covenants.  Both parties  hereby  expressly
agree and contract  that it is not the  intention of either party to violate any
public policy, or statutory or common law, and that if any sentence,  paragraph,
clause, or combination of the same of this Agreement is in violation of the law,
such sentence,  paragraph,  clause or combination of the same shall be void, and
the remainder of such paragraph and this  Agreement  shall remain binding on the
parties to make the covenants of this Agreement  binding only to the extent that
it may be  lawfully  done.  In the event that any part of any  covenant  of this
Agreement is determined by a court of law to be overly broad thereby  making the
covenant  unenforceable,  the parties hereto agree, and it is their desire, that
such court shall  substitute a judicially  enforceable  limitation in its place,
and that as so modified  the  covenant  shall be binding  upon the parties as if
originally set forth herein.

      12. Termination.

            (a)   Unilateral   Termination.   Either  party  may  terminate  the
Employment  Period at any time by  written  notice of  termination  given to the
other party at least thirty (30) days in advance of the termination  date stated
in such notice.

            (b) Termination for Just Cause. The Company shall have the option to
terminate the Employment  Period,  effective  immediately upon written notice of
such  termination  to the Key  Employee,  for Just Cause.  For  purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Just Cause" shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of
the following  events:  (a) the death or permanent  total  disability of the Key
Employee or his/her  absence from  employment by reason of illness or incapacity
for a period of sixty (60) consecutive  days; (b) the breach by the Key Employee
of  his/her  covenants  under  this  Agreement;  (c) the  commission  by the Key
Employee  of  theft  or  embezzlement  of  Company  property  or  other  acts of
dishonesty;  (d) the  commission  by the Key  Employee of a crime  resulting  in
injury to the  Business,  property or reputation of the Company or any affiliate
of the Company or  commission  of other  significant  activities  harmful to the
Business or reputation  of the Company or any affiliate of the Company;  (e) the
commission of an act by the Key Employee in the  performance  of his/her  duties
hereunder  determined  by the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  to amount to
gross,  willful,  or wanton  negligence;  (f) the willful  refusal to perform or
substantial  neglect of the duties  assigned  to the Key  Employee  pursuant  to
Section 1 hereof;  (g) any significant  violation of any statutory or common law
duty of loyalty to the Company; or (h) other legally sufficient cause.

            (a) Goodwill. The Company has invested substantial time and money in
the  development  of  its  products,  services,  territories,   advertising  and
marketing  thereof,  soliciting  clients and  creating  goodwill.  By  accepting
employment with the Company,  the Key Employee  acknowledges  that the customers

            (c)  Amendment  and Waiver.  No  amendment or  modification  of this

signed  by the  Chief  Executive  Officer  or an  officer  of the  Company  duly
authorized  by the Board of Directors  or upon the Key  Employee  unless made in
writing  and signed by  him/her.  The waiver by the Company of the breach of any
provision  of this  Agreement  by the  Key  Employee  shall  not  operate  or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by him/her.

            (e) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State
of Florida.

            (f) Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall, for any
reason,  be held  unenforceable,  such  provision  shall be  severed  from  this
Agreement unless, as a result of such severance,  the Agreement fails to reflect
the basic intent of the parties. If the Agreement continues to reflect the basic
intent of the parties,  then the invalidity of such specific provision shall not
affect the  enforceability  of any other  provision  herein,  and the  remaining
provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
