                  services for the production of Aperture Cards.;

         B.       QUINTEK  desires to retain  EXECUTIVE for his  experience  and

                  conditions set forth herein.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the mutual  promises  contained
herein,  and for other valuable  consideration,  the receipt and  sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.          Employment and Duties.
            ---------------------

         1.1 Executive shall serve as President and Chief  Executive  Officer of
QUINTEK.  Executive  shall do and perform all services and actions  necessary or
advisable to promote the continued success of QUINTEK'S business, subject to the
instructions, policies and limitations which may be set from time to time by its
Board of Directors (the "Board").

         1.2  Executive  shall devote his entire  productive  time,  ability and
attention to the business of QUINTEK during his  employment  with the exceptions
noted in 1.3  below.  Executive  shall not  directly  or  indirectly  render any
services of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other person or
organization,  whether for compensation or otherwise,  without the prior written
consent of the Board.

         1.3 QUINTEK hereby provides  consent for Executive to continue  working
in an advisory capacity within his pre-existing relationships with iBrite, Inc.,
Centerline Entertainment,  LLC, Inline Corporation, CADD Microsystems, Inc. none
of which are in  competition  with QUINTEK,  as long such  involvement  does not
detract from his responsibilities at QUINTEK.

         1.4 Executive  acknowledges and agrees that his services to QUINTEK are
of a special,  unique and extraordinary  character and further  acknowledges and
agrees that a breach of any of the  covenants  or  agreements  contained in this
Agreement  (including but not limited to Sections 2.2 and 7 hereof) is likely to
result in irreparable  and continuing  damage to QUINTEK for which there will be
no adequate  remedy at law.  Accordingly,  in the event of such  breach  QUINTEK
shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or a decree for specific performance,
and such other and further relief as may be proper (including  monetary damages,
if appropriate).

2.      Term.
        -----

         2.1 The term of employment shall be for five (5) years.

notice prior to terminating this Agreement.

                                       1

         2.3 If Executive is terminated  prior to the fifth  anniversary of this
Agreement  for reasons  other than "for cause" or if he becomes  "Disabled"  (as
defined herein),  QUINTEK will provide Executive with twelve (12) months' notice
prior to  terminating  this  Agreement.  If,  however,  QUINTEK does not provide
Executive  with twelve  (12)  months'  notice or provides  less than twelve (12)
months' notice,  it shall provide  Executive with an equivalent amount of pay in
lieu of notice  for all or any  portion of the twelve  (12)  months'  notice not
provided.  Such pay in lieu of notice is in addition to any other sums which may
be owed to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. Any pay in lieu of notice shall
constitute  severance pay ("Severance") and shall be paid over the course of the
pay in lieu of notice  period  in  accordance  with  QUINTEK's  regular  payroll
practices at the rate of his then-current base salary, less standard payroll tax
withholdings.  In no  event  shall  QUINTEK  be  required  to pay  Severance  if
Executive  resigns,  is terminated after the fifth anniversary of this Agreement
for any or no reason, if he is terminated because he has become "Disabled" or if
he is terminated  at any time "for cause",  other than as set forth in Paragraph
2.6. In the event that  QUINTEK's  Recast  Profits (as defined in Paragraph 3.3)
for the twelve (12) month  period prior to  termination  amount to less than Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000),  QUINTEK shall pay a separation benefit equivalent
to three month's base salary at his then-current rate, less standard payroll tax
withholdings.

         2.4      As used  herein,  the term  "for  cause"  shall be  limited to
the following:

                  2.4.1  Executive's  continued  failure or habitual  neglect to
perform his duties as set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement  after  receiving
written  notice of the alleged  deficiencies  and having had an  opportunity  to
improve; or

                  2.4.2 Executive's engaging in any activity or conduct which is
specifically  precluded by this  Agreement,  including any activity  competitive
with or intentionally injurious to QUINTEK; or

                  2.4.3 Intentional  malfeasance or misfeasance or gross neglect
of duty engaged in by Executive  while  carrying out his duties owing to QUINTEK
under this Agreement; or

                  2.4.4 Executive's impairment due to alcohol or other substance
abuse which in the reasonable judgment of QUINTEK affects or interferes with, or
may affect or interfere  with,  Executive's  performance or capacity to properly
discharge  Executive's  duties,  such  impairment  not to  include  an  isolated
incident occurring off the premises during non-working hours; or

                  2.4.5  The  commission  by  Executive  of a felony  or a crime
involving moral turpitude (whether or not prosecuted),  the charge or indictment
of Executive by a  governmental  or  prosecutorial  authority of the same or the
pleading by  Executive of no contest (or similar  plea) to the same,  whether or
not committed in the course of his employment; or

                  2.4.6  Executive's  committing  any act of dishonesty  against
QUINTEK or using or  appropriating  for his personal use or benefit any funds or
properties  of  QUINTEK,  unless  such  use or  appropriation  was  specifically
authorized by the Board or the Chief Financial Officer in writing.

         2.5  This   Agreement   shall  not  be  terminated  by  any  merger  or
consolidation where QUINTEK is not the consolidated or surviving  corporation or
by any  transfer of all or  substantially  all of the assets of QUINTEK.  In the
event of any such merger or consolidation  or transfer of assets,  the surviving
or resulting  corporation  or the  transferee  of the assets of QUINTEK shall be
bound by and shall have the benefit of the  provisions  of this  Agreement,  and
QUINTEK  shall  take all steps  necessary  to ensure  that such  corporation  or
transferee is bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         2.6 If Executive is terminated  prior to the fifth  anniversary of this
Agreement  "for cause" as defined by Paragraphs  2.4.1 and 2.4.4,  QUINTEK shall
pay Executive a separation  benefit equivalent to one month's base salary at his
then-current   rate,  less  standard  payroll  tax   withholdings   ("Separation
Benefit").

         2.7  QUINTEK  may  terminate  Executive  if he becomes  Disabled,  such
termination  to be made in QUINTEK's sole  discretion.  For the purposes of this
Agreement,  "Disabled" shall mean that Executive is unable to perform his duties
hereunder,  either with or without a reasonable accommodation,  as the result of
his  incapacity  due to  physical  or  mental  illness  or  condition,  and such
inability continues for at least thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or equals
or exceeds  sixty (60) calendar days during any  consecutive  twelve  (12)-month
period.  If  Executive  is  terminated  prior to the fifth  anniversary  of this
Agreement due to his becoming Disabled, QUINTEK shall pay Executive a separation
benefit  equivalent to three month's base salary at his then-current  rate, less
standard payroll tax withholdings ("Disability Benefit").

         2.8 As a  precondition  to paying the foregoing  Severance,  Separation
Benefit or Disability Benefit, QUINTEK may require that Executive re-confirm his
obligations  under  Paragraph  7 and  execute a general  release  of any and all
claims he might have against  QUINTEK,  whether arising out of his employment or
termination of employment, other than QUINTEK's obligation to pay the Severance,
Separation Benefit or Disability Benefit,  as the case may be. Furthermore,  any
salary, severance, separation benefit or disability benefit or other amounts due
to  Executive  following  termination  may be offset  against any amounts due to
QUINTEK from Executive.


3.       Compensation.

         3.1 As compensation for services  hereunder,  Executive shall receive a
salary  of $6,000  per  month,  less  standard  payroll  tax  withholdings  (the
"Salary"), during the term of this Agreement, subject to adjustment as set forth
in Paragraph 3.2 below.

         3.2  Executive's  Salary  shall  remain  unchanged  until  such time as
QUINTEK's  quarterly  Gross  Revenue  shall exceed or equal the sum of $300,000.
Should  this  occur,  Executive's  Salary  for the  following  quarter  shall be
increased  to  the  sum  of  $9,000  per  month,   less  standard   payroll  tax
withholdings. If QUINTEK's quarterly Gross Revenue shall exceed or equal the sum
of $600,000,  Executive's Salary for the following quarter shall be increased to
the sum of  $12,000  per month,  less  standard  payroll  tax  withholdings.  If
QUINTEK's  quarterly  Gross  Revenue  shall exceed or equal the sum of $900,000,
Executive's  Salary for the  following  quarter shall be increased to the sum of
15,000 per month, less standard payroll tax withholdings. If QUINTEK's quarterly
Gross Revenue  decreases at any time,  Executive's  Salary shall be decreased to
the corresponding monthly salary described in this Paragraph, subject to a final
reduction to the base Salary  amount set forth in Paragraph  3.1 above.  For the
purposes of this Agreement,  "Gross Revenue" shall be defined as QUINTEK's gross
revenue  for  the  applicable   quarter  as  calculated  by  QUINTEK's   regular
accountant(s).

         3.3 In addition,  Executive will be eligible to receive an annual bonus
based  upon the  Recast  Profits of  QUINTEK  over the prior  twelve  (12) month
calendar/fiscal  year period.  If QUINTEK's  Recast  Profit Margin for the prior
twelve (12) month calendar/fiscal year period is less than six (6%) percent then
Executive will not receive any bonus. If QUINTEK's  Recast Profit Margin for the
prior  twelve (12) month  calendar/fiscal  year period  equal or exceed six (6%)

                                       3
<PAGE>

percent,  then  Executive  will be paid a bonus of three (3%)  percent of Recast
Profits, less standard payroll tax withholdings, within thirty (30) days of such
year end. For each  additional one (1%) percent of Recast Profits over and above
six  (6%)   percent  of  Recast   Profits  for  the  prior   twelve  (12)  month
calendar/fiscal  year period,  Executive will receive an additional bonus of one
(1%) percent of Recast Profits less standard  payroll tax  withholdings,  within
thirty (30) days of such year end, such additional bonus to be prorated for each
additional  one (1%) percent in Recast  Profit  Margin over and above the sum of
six (6%)  percent  of Recast  Profit  Margin  for the prior  twelve  (12)  month
calendar/fiscal  year period. For example, if at the end of calendar/fiscal year
2004,  QUINTEK's  Recast  Profits  for the prior year  amount to  $994,200  then
Executive  would be paid the sum of $99,552  within  thirty  (30) days.  For the
purposes of this agreement, "Executive's Compensation" is defined as Executive's
salary,  car allowance (not to exceed Five Hundred  Dollars ($500) per month and
interest  paid on  Executive's  loans  (if any) to  QUINTEK,  as  calculated  by
QUINTEK's  regular  accountant(s).  For the purposes of this Agreement,  "Recast
Profits" shall be defined as net profits before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation
and amortization (EBITDA),  less Executive's  Compensation.  For the purposes of
this  Agreement,  "Recast  Profit  Margin"  shall be defined as the  quotient of
Recast Profits divided by Gross Revenue. See Exhibit A for example.

         3.4 Executive  will be paid a car allowance of Five Dollars  ($500) per
month  during the term of this  Agreement.  This  automobile  allowance  will be
QUINTEK's  sole  obligation   with  respect  to  Executive's   leased  or  owned
automobile;  Executive  will  maintain  the  costs  of  license,  insurance  and
maintenance  during this period. In addition,  Executive accepts such automobile
allowance on such terms and  conditions  as QUINTEK may  establish  from time to
time regarding the payment of an automobile allowance to its employees.

         3.5  Executive  shall be  entitled  to all  other  employment  benefits
provided  by  QUINTEK  to its  full-time  employees  as set  forth in  QUINTEK's
Employee  Handbook,  which is subject to revision from time to time at QUINTEK's
discretion.

         3.6 All compensation and other payments to Executive hereunder shall be
subject  to  withholding  for  federal,  state and local  income  taxes,  social
security, disability and the like.

         3.7  Other  Benefits.  Executive  shall  be  entitled  to  continue  to
participate in or receive  benefits  under all of the Employee  Benefit Plans of
QUINTEK under which Employee may  participate in accordance with applicable laws
and the  terms of such  plans in effect on the date  hereof,  or under  plans or
arrangements  that  provide  Executive  with at least  substantially  equivalent
benefits to those  provided under such Employee  Benefit Plans.  As used herein,
"Employee  Benefit  Plans"  include,  without  limitation,   each  pension,  and
retirement plan;  supplemental  pension,  retirement,  and deferred compensation
plan;  savings and  profit-sharing  plan;  stock ownership plan;  stock purchase
plan; stock option plan; life insurance plan; medical insurance plan; disability
plan; and health and accident plan or arrangement  established and maintained by
QUINTEK on the date hereof.  Executive  shall be entitled to  participate  in or
receive  benefits under any employee  benefit plan or arrangement  which may, in
the  future,  be made  available  to  QUINTEK's  executives  and key  management
employees,  subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions, and
overall  administration  of such plan or arrangement.  Nothing paid to Executive
under the Employee  Benefit  Plans  presently in effect or any employee  benefit
plan or arrangement which may be made available in the future shall be deemed to
be in lieu of  compensation  payable to  Executive.  Any  payments  or  benefits
payable to Executive under a plan or arrangement in respect of any calendar year
during  which  Executive  is employed by QUINTEK for less than the whole of such


                                       4
<PAGE>

year shall, unless otherwise provided in the applicable plan or arrangement,  be
prorated  in  accordance  with the number of days in such  calendar  year during
which he is so employed. Should any such payments or benefits accrue on a fiscal
(rather than calendar) year, then the proration in the preceding  sentence shall
be on the basis of a fiscal year rather than calendar year.

         3.8  Vacations.  Executive  shall be  entitled  to the  number  of paid
vacation days in each calendar year  determined by QUINTEK from time to time for
its senior  executive  officers.  Executive  shall also be  entitled to all paid
holidays given by QUINTEK to its senior executive officers.

         3.9  Offices.  Executive  agrees to serve as a director of QUINTEK,  if
elected or appointed  thereto,  provided he is  indemnified  for serving in such
capacity on a basis no less  favorable  than is currently  provided by QUINTEK's
By-laws and any indemnification agreement with any other director.

4. Business Expenses.  Executive is authorized to incur reasonable  expenses for
promoting  and  conducting  the  business  of  QUINTEK,   including   reasonable
expenditures for  entertainment  and travel.  QUINTEK shall reimburse  Executive
monthly  for all such  business  expenses  upon  presentation  of  documentation
establishing   the  amount,   date,   place  and  essential   character  of  the
expenditures,  in such form as QUINTEK may require and sufficient to satisfy any
Internal  Revenue  Code  requirements  for such  expenses  to be  deductible  to
QUINTEK.  Any  expenditures  in excess of an aggregate  of One Thousand  Dollars
($1,000) per month shall require the prior written  approval of the Board or the
Chief Financial Officer.

5. Health  Insurance.  Executive  shall be entitled to receive  such medical and
dental  insurance  benefits as are  designated and made available by QUINTEK for
its employees  generally,  which benefits are subject to change or revocation at

6. Issuance of Equity.

         6.1  Executive  shall  receive a grant of 1,000,000  shares of Series A
Preferred Stock upon execution of this agreement. Terms and Conditions of Series
A  preferred  Stock  are  to be  established,  determined  and  set  forth  in a
Stockholders  Agreement  to be  finalized  within  them  next 14  days.  QUINTEK

fully-diluted  basis after taking into  account the issuance of such  additional
shares to Executive  and  assuming  the issuance of all other shares  subject to
currently outstanding options or warrants. QUINTEK and Executive acknowledge and
agree that the purchase  price for such shares (or the  exercise  price for such
options) will be $.03 per share,  but they have  otherwise not as yet determined
how such  additional  shares and/or  options will be issued to Executive.  It is
contemplated that QUINTEK and Executive will enter into a separate  agreement or
agreements on these additional  shares and/or options within 90 days of the date
of this  Agreement  (or upon  the  authorization  of  additional  shares  by the
Shareholders of Quintek). Specifically, it is presently anticipated that the new
stock  agreements(s)  will have , at minimum,  new  termination  and  repurchase
provisions,   with  the  termination   provisions  to  be  consistent  with  new


                                       5

percent (2.5%) of outstanding common stock at the time of grant, will be granted
to  executive  upon  the one (1)  year  anniversary  of this  agreement  for the
following  three (3) years.  In the event of a sale of Quintek,  termination  of
this  agreement  by the  Company,  or any other event that may impede  Quintek's
ability to fulfill its  obligations  under this  Agreement,  all options will be
immediately vest.

         6.2 Manner of Exercise  of  Options.  The options or rights to purchase

8. Entire  Agreement,  Etc.  This  Agreement  contains the entire and  exclusive
agreement  of the  parties  hereto.  No prior  written  or oral  representations
between them  originating  before the date of the Agreement not embodied  herein

9.  Modification.  This Agreement may not be superseded and none of the terms of
this Agreement can be waived or modified except by an express written  agreement
signed  by  all  parties  hereto.  Any  oral  representations  or  modifications
concerning  this  Agreement  (including  any fully  executed oral  agreements or
modifications)  shall be of no force or effect unless  contained in a subsequent
written modification signed by all parties.

10.  Release  of Any Prior  Bonus  Claims.  As  further  consideration  for this
Agreement,  Executive,  on his own behalf  and on behalf of his  heirs,  spouse,
executors, administrators,  employees and agents, hereby releases and discharges
QUINTEK  and its  parents,  subsidiaries  and  affiliates,  and  each  of  their
respective officers, managers,  directors,  partners,  employees,  predecessors,
successors, assigns, stockholders,  representatives and agents, individually and
collectively,  of and from any and all  known or  unknown  liabilities,  claims,
demands or any other  thing for which he or any of them have or may have a known
or unknown cause of action,  claim,  or demand for damages,  whether  certain or
speculative,  which may have at any time prior  hereto  come into  existence  or
which may be brought in the future in connection with  obligations by QUINTEK to
pay any bonus of any kind to  Executive  which have  arisen at any time prior to
the date of this Agreement.

11.  Severability.  If any  term,  provision,  covenant,  or  condition  of this
Agreement  (the  "Provision")  is held by an  arbitrator or a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable,  the remaining provisions of
this  Agreement  shall  remain in full  force and  effect and in no way shall be
affected,  impaired, or invalidated.  If possible, the Provision shall remain in
effect but shall be modified by the court only to the extent  necessary  to make
it reasonable.

12. Arbitration.  If a dispute should arise between QUINTEK and Executive, or in
the  event  of any  claim  arising  under or  involving  any  provision  of this
Agreement,  Executive  and QUINTEK  agree to make all  efforts to resolve  these
disputes  through (1) voluntary  and  non-binding  mediation;  and (2) final and
binding arbitration.

         This policy applies to, but is not limited to, all disputes relating to
termination of employment,  termination or breach of this Agreement,  or alleged
unlawful  discrimination  and/or unlawful harassment.  Disputes covered include,
but are not limited to, the following:  (a) alleged violations of federal, state
and/or local constitutions,  statutes or regulations  (including but not limited
to  anti-discrimination  and  anti-harassment  laws);  (b)  claims  based on any
purported breach of contractual  obligation (including but not limited to breach
of the  covenant of good faith and fair  dealing  and  wrongful  termination  or
constructive  termination);  (c) claims based on any purported breach of duty in
tort,  including but not limited to violations of public policy;  and (d) claims
arising under or involving any provision of this Agreement.

         Notwithstanding   the  above,  the  following  types  of  disputes  are
expressly  excluded and not covered by this  Agreement  or policy:  (a) disputes
related to worker's compensation and unemployment  insurance;  (b) wage and hour
disputes  within the  jurisdiction  of the California  Labor  Commissioner;  (c)
disputes  which  relate to or arise  out of  confidentiality  or  noncompetition
conditions  of  employment,  trade  secrets,  intellectual  property  or  unfair
competition;  and (d) disputes or claims that are expressly  excluded by statute
or are expressly required to be arbitrated under a different  procedure pursuant
to the terms of an employee benefit plan.

         IN  CONSIDERATION  FOR AND AS A MATERIAL  CONDITION OF  EMPLOYMENT  AND
CONTINUATION  OF  EMPLOYMENT  WITH  QUINTEK,  EXECUTIVE  AND QUINTEK  AGREE THAT
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION,  INCLUDING FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION,  SHALL
BE THE EXCLUSIVE MEANS FOR RESOLVING  COVERED  DISPUTES;  NO OTHER ACTION MAY BE
BROUGHT IN COURT OR IN ANY OTHER FORUM.  THE PARTIES  ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT
BY SIGNING THIS  AGREEMENT  THEY ARE WAIVING THEIR RIGHTS TO COURT ACTION AND TO
TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY.
                                       9

IF A DISPUTE  IS  SUBMITTED  TO  ARBITRATION,  THE  DISPUTE  SHALL BE SETTLED BY
ARBITRATION IN ORANGE COUNTY,  CALIFORNIA,  AND JUDGMENT UPON THE AWARD RENDERED
MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT OF COMPENTENT  JURISDICTION.  THE ARBITRATION  SHALL
TAKE PLACE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE JAMS/ENDISPUTE  ("JAMS") IN ACCORDANCE WITH
JAMS' EMPLOYMENT DISPUTE RESOLUTION  PROGRAM.  THE PARTY REQUESTING  ARBITRATION
SHALL GIVE A WRITTEN  DEMAND FOR  ARBITRATION TO THE OTHER PARTY SETTING FORTH A
STATEMENT  OF THE NATURE OF THE  DISPUTE,  THE AMOUNT  INVOLVED AND THE REMEDIES
SOUGHT.  QUINTEK SHALL PAY ALL THE UP-FRONT COSTS OF THE ARBITRATION,  INCLUDING
FILING AND HEARING FEES, BUT EACH PARTY SHALL PAY ITS OWN ATTORNEY'S FEES.

         Nothing in this Agreement to engage in alternative  dispute  resolution
shall be construed as  precluding  Employee  from filing a charge with the Equal
Employment  Opportunity  Commission ("EEOC"), the National Labor Relations Board
("NLRB")  or  other  federal,  state  or local  agency,  seeking  administrative
assistance  in  resolving  claims.  However,  any  claim  that  is not  resolved
administratively  through such an agency shall be subject to this  Agreement and
the ADR Policy.

This agreement to engage in  alternative  dispute  resolution  does not alter or
otherwise affect  Employee's  employment under this Agreement.  This section and
the ADR Policy shall  survive and continue in effect  after the  termination  of
employee's employment and/or the expiration of this Agreement.

13.      Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted with
         the laws of the State of California.

14.      Employment  Policies.  Executive shall be subject to QUINTEK's Employee
         Handbook and such other employee policies as QUINTEK may establish from
         time to time,  which Handbook and policies are subject to revision.  To
         the extent the Agreement  differs from or contradicts  QUINTEK's  other
         employment  policies,  whether oral or written,  this  Agreement  shall
         control.

15.      Waiver. The failure of either party to insist on strict compliance with
         any of the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that
         term or of that party's right to subsequently enforce that term.

16.      Attorneys'  Fees.  The parties hereto agree to bear their own costs and
         attorneys'  fees  incurred  in the  negotiation  and  drafting  of this
         Agreement or otherwise incurred prior to the date of execution hereof.

17.      Notice. Any notices,  requests,  demands, or other  communications with
         respect  to  this  Agreement  shall  be in  writing  and  shall  be (i)
         personally delivered,  (ii) sent by facsimile transmission,  (iii) sent
         by the United States  Postal  Service,  registered  or certified  mail,
         return receipt requested,  or (iv) delivered by a nationally recognized
