         1. EMPLOYMENT. The Company hereby employs the Executive as President,
and the Executive hereby accepts such employment, subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.

         2. TERM. The term of the Executive's employment hereunder shall

Directors of the Company (the "Board"). The Executive agrees that the Executive
will not, during the term of this Agreement, engage in any other business
activity which interferes with the performance of his obligations under this
Agreement and will devote Executive's entire working time to the business and
affairs of the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be
construed as precluding the Executive from (i) serving on the board of directors

respect with the Company, and (ii) investing or trading in securities or other
forms of investment, in each case, so long as such activities do not materially

Company, Executive shall have the title of Chief Executive Officer, and in such
capacity shall have such authority and duties as may be assigned by the Board of
Directors. Performance of Executive's duties hereunder shall in no event require

Thousand ($72,000), subject to all required federal, state and local payroll
deductions, that shall increase on the anniversary date of January 1, 2007 and

         (c) The Executive shall be entitled to such holidays, personal and sick

         (d) The Executive shall receive medical benefits via a group health

         (e) To the extent that the Executive becomes mentally or physically
disabled, Executive shall continue to receive his salary and other benefits

however, that such salary shall be reduced by any disability benefits Executive
receives from policies maintained and paid for by the Company.

the performance of his duties hereunder in accordance with guidelines adopted by
the Board of Directors. The Company will pay and reimburse Employee for all such
reasonable expenses upon the presentation by Employee, from time to time, of an
itemized account of such reasonable expenditures and proper documentation
thereof as evidence that such expenses have been incurred.

         6. TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY FOR CAUSE.

         (a) The Company may terminate Executive's employment hereunder at any
time for Cause by following the procedures required by this Section 6.
Termination by the Company of the Executive's employment for cause (herein
referred to as "for Cause"), shall mean termination upon:

               i.   the willful and continued failure by the Executive to
                    substantially perform the Executive's material duties with
                    the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the
                    Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness)
                    after a written demand for substantial performance is
                    delivered to the Executive by the Board, which demand
                    specifically identifies the material duties that the Board
                    believes that the Executive has not substantially performed,
                    or

               ii.  the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct that is
                    demonstrably and

                                        2
<PAGE>

                    materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or
                    otherwise. For purposes of this Paragraph 6, no act, or
                    failure to act, on the Executive's part, shall be deemed
                    "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by the
                    Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief
                    that the Executive's action or omission was in the best
                    interest of the Company, or the conviction of the Executive
                    of a felony (or a plea of guilty or NOLO CONTENDRE), limited
                    solely for a crime related to the business operations of the
                    Company, or that results in the Executive being unable to
                    substantially carry out his duties as set forth in this
                    Agreement, or

               iii. the commission of any act by the Executive against the
                    Company that may be construed as the crime of embezzlement,
                    larceny, and/or grand larceny.

Any other provision in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Termination for Cause
unless and until the Board duly adopts a resolution by the affirmative vote of
no less than two-thirds (2/3) of the entire membership of the Board, at a
meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice
to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the
Executive's counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good
faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was guilty of conduct described in
Subparagraphs (i), (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail and a certified copy of such resolution is
delivered to the Executive.

         (b) In the event that the Executive's employment is terminated for
Cause pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, the Company shall pay within thirty (30)
days the following amounts to the Executive:

                      i. any accrued but unpaid Base Salary for services
rendered to the date of termination;

                      ii.  any accrued but unpaid vacation pay; and

                      iii. any unpaid expense reimbursement owed to him for
                           periods through the date of termination.

         7. TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE. If the Company terminates
Executive's employment other than for Cause pursuant to Section 6 or on account
of death or disability pursuant to Section 9 or 10, the Company shall pay or
provide the Executive with, within thirty (30) days of the date of termination:
(i) any unpaid salary earned under this Agreement prior to the date of
termination; (ii) any accrued but unused vacation prior to the date of
termination; (iii) any unpaid bonus actually earned with respect to the fiscal
year ending on or preceding the date of termination; (iv) a one-time lump sum
payment equal to four week's Base Salary, and (v) any unpaid expense
reimbursement owed to him for periods through the date of termination.

         8. TERMINATION BY THE EXECUTIVE. The Executive may terminate his
employment hereunder for "Good Reason," within ninety (90) days of the
occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a material breach of this
Agreement by the Company; (ii) any failure to pay, within a reasonable amount of
time, any part of the Executive's compensation (including Base Salary and bonus)
or to provide the benefits contemplated herein; (iii) any material reduction or

                                        3
<PAGE>

diminution (except temporarily during any period of physical or mental
impairment) in the Executive's titles or primary job responsibilities with the
Company; or (iv) a change in control of the Company. The Executive shall give
the Company written notice of any proposed termination for Good Reason and the
Company shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such written notice to cure
any ground of termination for Good Reason, as set forth in this Section. In the
event Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, he shall not be
considered to be in breach of this agreement. In the event of Termination by
Executive for Good Reason, Company shall be obligated to pay to Executive that
compensation due as if Company had terminated Executive Without Cause pursuant
to Section 7 of this Agreement.

         9. TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH. In the event of the Executive's death
during the Term of this Agreement, the Executive's employment hereunder shall
immediately and automatically terminate, and the Company shall have no further
obligation or duty to the Executive or his estate or beneficiaries other than
for (a) all earned but unpaid compensation through the date of termination and
(b) any accrued but unpaid vacation pay, other than as required by applicable
law.

         10. TERMINATION DUE TO DISABILITY. The Company may terminate the
Executive's employment hereunder, upon written notice to the Executive, in the
event that the Executive becomes disabled during the Term through any condition
of either a physical or psychological nature and, as a result is, with
reasonable accommodation, unable to perform the essential functions of the
services contemplated hereunder for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days
during any twelve (12) month period during the Term. Any such termination shall
become effective upon mailing or hand delivery of notice, while the Executive
continues to be unable to perform the essential functions of the services
contemplated hereunder, that the Company has elected to exercise its right to
terminate under this Section 10, and the Company shall have no further
obligation or duty to the Executive other than for (a) all earned but unpaid
compensation through the date of termination and (b) any accrued but unpaid
vacation pay, other than as required by applicable law. For purposes of
determining the Executive's disability, the existence or nonexistence of a
disability shall be conclusively determined by a physician to be selected by the
Executive and the Company in good faith. Executive shall cooperate in such
determination by making himself available.

         11. NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND NON- SOLICITATION

         (a) The Executive acknowledges that the Executive has been informed
that it is the policy of the Company to maintain as secret and confidential all
information

                  (i) relating to the products, processes, designs and/or
systems used by the Company and its Affiliates and

                  (ii) relating to the customers and employees of the Company
and its Affiliates (all such information hereafter referred to as "confidential

information is of great value to the Company.

         For purposes of this Agreement, "Affiliates" means any person or entity
or group of persons or entities acting together that, directly or indirectly,
through one or more intermediaries controls, or is controlled by or is under
common control with the Company.

         The parties recognize that the services to be performed by the
Executive are special and unique, and that by reason of his employment by the
Company, the Executive has and will

                                        4
<PAGE>

acquire confidential information as aforesaid. The parties confirm that it is
reasonably necessary to protect the Company's (and its Affiliates') goodwill,
and accordingly the Executive does agree that the Executive will not directly or
indirectly (except where authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company for
the benefit of the Company):

                  A. At any time during his employment by the Company or after
the Executive ceases to be employed by the Company, divulge to any persons,
firms or corporations (hereinafter referred to collectively as "third parties"),
other than the Company, its officers, directors, consultants, lawyers,
accountants, agents and representatives, or use or allow or cause or authorize
any third parties to use, any such confidential information; and

                  B. At any time during his employment by the Company and for a
period of two (2) years after the Executive ceases to be employed by the
Company, solicit or cause or authorize directly or indirectly to be solicited,
for or on behalf of the Executive or third parties, any business from persons,
firms, corporations or other entities who were at any time within two (2) years
prior to the cessation of his employment hereunder, customers of the Company or
its affiliates with respect to any competing business; and

                  C. At any time during his employment by the Company and for a
period of two (2) years after the Executive ceases to be employed by the
Company, accept or cause or authorize directly or indirectly to be accepted, for
or on behalf of the Executive or third parties, any business from any such
customers of this Company or its affiliates with respect to any competing
business; and

                  D. At any time during his employment by the Company and for a
period of two (2) years after the Executive ceases to be employed by the
Company, solicit or cause or authorize directly or indirectly to be solicited
for employment, for or on behalf of the Executive or third parties, any persons
(excluding any individuals residing in the same immediate primary residence as
the Executive, and/or the Executive's immediate family) who were at any time
within one year prior to the cessation of his employment hereunder, employees of
the Company or its affiliates; and

                  E. At any time during his employment by the Company and for a
period of two (2) years after the Executive ceases to be employed by the
Company, employ or cause or authorize directly or indirectly to be employed, for
or on behalf of the Executive or third parties, any such employees of the
Company or its affiliates.

                  F. "competing business" shall mean (x) any entity (other than
the Company or any of its affiliates) that then engages, directly or indirectly,
in any business which the Company or any of its affiliates is then conducting or
which is then covered in a written proposal or business plan in any place in
which the Company does business.

         (b) The Executive agrees that, upon the expiration of his employment by
the Company for any reason, the Executive shall forthwith deliver to the Company
any and all records, drawings, notebooks, keys and other documents and material,
and copies thereof in his possession or under his control which is the property
of the Company or which relate to any confidential information or any
discoveries of the Company.

         (c) The Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach by the
Executive of any provision of this Section 11 shall entitle the Company, in
addition to any other legal remedies available to it, to enjoin such breach or
threatened breach through any court of

                                        5
<PAGE>

competent jurisdiction. The parties understand and intend that each restriction
agreed to by the Executive herein above shall be construed as separable and
divisible from every other restriction, and that the unenforceability, in whole
or in part, of any restriction will not affect the enforceability of the
remaining restrictions, and that one or more or all of such restrictions may be
enforced in whole or in part as the circumstances warrant.

         (d) For the purposes of this Section, the term "Company" shall mean and
include any and all subsidiaries, parents and affiliated corporations of the
Company in existence from time to time, for which the Company has operational
control.

         12. SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT.

         Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be
assignable by the Executive, nor shall it be subject to attachment, execution,
pledge or hypothecation, but this Agreement if Executive shall die shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal
representative, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees,
devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die during the term of this
Agreement, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 9 hereof, no
amounts shall be paid to the Executive's devisee, legatee or other designee or,
if there is no such designee, to the Executive's estate. The rights and
obligations of the Company hereunder will be binding upon and run in favor of
the successors and assigns of the Company who acquire all or substantially all
of the business of the Company.

         13. MISCELLANEOUS. No provision of this Agreement may be modified,
waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to
in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer as may be specifically
designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto of, or compliance
with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other
party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions
at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or
representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the
subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not set forth in
this Agreement. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any
applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law.

         14. SEVERANCE AND VALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.

         15. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes any prior
agreement between the parties, and may not be changed or terminated orally. No
change, termination or attempted waiver of any of the provisions hereof shall be
binding unless in writing and signed by the party to be bound; provided,
however, that the Executive's compensation and benefits may be increased at any
time by the Company without in any way affecting any of the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, which in all other respects shall remain in full
force and effect.

         17. NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT. This Agreement has been negotiated and shall
not be construed against the party responsible for drafting all or parts of this
Agreement.

and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In any arbitration pursuant
to this Section 19, each party shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of
its own attorney and witnesses, and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator
shall be divided equally between the Company and the Executive. Nothing in this
Section 19 shall be construed to limited the availability of injunctive relief
in the form of a court ordered injunction in connection with an actual or
threatened violation of Section 11 hereof.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the date first above written.
