for  a  period of six months subsequent to the termination or expiration of such
employment  with  the  Company  and (ii) related to the business of the Company,
shall  be disclosed in writing promptly to the Company and shall be the sole and
exclusive  property  of  the  Company.  An  invention,  idea,  process, program,
software,  or  design  including  an improvement) shall be deemed related to the
business  of  the  Company  if  (a)  it  was  made with the Company's equipment,
supplies,  facilities,  or  Confidential  Information,  (b)  results  from  work
performed  by  the  Employee  for  the  Company,  or (c) pertains to the current
business  or  demonstrably  anticipated  research  or  development  work  of the
Company.  The Employee shall cooperate with the Company and its attorneys in the
preparation of patent and copyright applications for such developments and, upon
request,  shall  promptly  assign  all  such  inventions,  ideas, processes, and
designs  to the Company. The decision to file for patent or copyright protection
or  to  maintain  such  development  as  a  trade  secret  shall  be in the sole
discretion of the Company, and the Employee shall be bound by such decision. The
Employee  shall  provide  as a schedule to this Employment Agreement, a complete
list  of  all  inventions,  ideas,  processes,  and designs, if any, patented or
unpatented, copyrighted or non-copyrighted, including a brief description, which
he  made  or  conceived  prior  to  his  employment  with  the Company and which
therefore  are  excluded  from  the  scope  of  this  Agreement.

     12.  INDEBTEDNESS.  If,  during  the  course  of  the Employee's employment
          -------------
under  this  Agreement,  the  Employee  becomes  indebted to the Company for any
reason,  the  Company  may,  if it so elects, set off any sum due to the Company

                  (Company) _____ Page 16 of 21 (Employee)_____
<PAGE>
from  the  Employee  and  collect  any  remaining  balance  from  the  Employee.

     13.  ASSIGNABILITY.  The  rights  and obligations of the Company under this
          -------------
Agreement  shall  inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the Company, provided that such successor or assign shall acquire all
or  substantially  all of the securities (via merger or otherwise) or assets and
business  of  the  Company.  The  Employee's  obligations  hereunder  may not be
assigned  or  alienated  and  any attempt to do so by the Employee will be void.

     14.  SEVERABILITY.
          -------------

          (a)  The  Employee  expressly  agrees that the character, duration and
geographical scope of the non-competition provisions set forth in this Agreement
are  reasonable  in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date hereof.
Should  a  decision,  however,  be  made at a later date by a court of competent
jurisdiction  that  the  character,  duration  or  geographical  scope  of  such
provisions  is  unreasonable,  then it is the intention and the agreement of the
Employee  and the Company that this Agreement shall be construed by the court in
such  a  manner  as  to impose only those restrictions on the Employee's conduct
that  are  reasonable  in the light of the circumstances and as are necessary to
assure  to  the  Company  the  benefits  of  this Agreement. If, in any judicial
proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed
included herein because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to

                  (Company) _____ Page 17 of 21 (Employee)_____
<PAGE>
assure  to  the Company the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly
understood  and  agreed  by  the  parties  hereto  that  the  provisions of this
Agreement that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to
be  enforced  in such proceeding shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of
such  proceeding,  from  this  Agreement.

          (b)  If  any  provision  of  this  Agreement otherwise is deemed to be
invalid  or  unenforceable  or  is  prohibited  by  the  laws  of  the  state or
jurisdiction  where  it  is  to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered
divisible  as  to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such
state  or  jurisdiction  and  shall not be part of the consideration moving from
either  of  the parties to the other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall  be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provision were not
included.

applicable  is  then  engaged  in  the offer and sale of competitive products or
services.  In  addition,  the Employee may not, directly or indirectly including
through  any  Affiliated  Entity, obtain employment with or perform services for
any  Customer,  as  defined,  of  the Company or any affiliate during the period
commencing  on  the date of termination and continuing for 12 months thereafter;
provided,  however, the foregoing provisions shall not prevent the Employee from
 -------   --------
accepting  employment  with  an  enterprise  engaged  in  two  or  more lines of
business,  one  of  which  is the same or similar to the Company's business (the
"Prohibited  Business") if the Employee's employment is totally unrelated to the
Prohibited  Business  and  if  a  Customer,  the Customer does not terminate its
agreements  with the Company; provided, further the foregoing shall not prohibit
                              --------  -------
Employee  from  owning  up  to  5%  of  the  securities  of  any publicly-traded
enterprise  provided  the  Employee  is  not  an  employee,  director,  officer,
consultant  to  such enterprise or otherwise reimbursed for services rendered to
such  enterprise.

          (b)  Solicitation  of  Customers  and Employees. During the periods in
               ------------------------------------------
which  the provisions of Section 7 shall be in effect, the Employee, directly or
indirectly in association with or as or through any Affiliated Entity, shall not
seek  Prohibited  Business from any Customer (as defined below) on behalf of any
enterprise  or  business  other than the Company, refer Prohibited Business from
any  Customer  to  any  enterprise  or business other than the Company,  receive
commissions based on sales or otherwise relating to the Prohibited Business from
any  Customer,  or any enterprise or business other than the Company, solicit or

<PAGE>
attempt  to  induce any employee of the Company to become employed by, or engage
in  any  business  with, any Affiliated Entity or cause or permit any Affiliated
Entity  to  hire,  or engage in business with, any Customer of the Company.  The
hiring  by an Affiliated Entity of, or the engaging by such Affiliated Entity of
any  business  with,  any  employee  of  the Company shall create an irrebutable
presumption  that  the  Employee  caused or permitted the hiring or the business
relationship.  For  purposes of this Section 7(b), the term "Customer" means any
person, firm, corporation, partnership, association or other entity to which the
Company  or  any of its affiliates sold or provided goods or services during the
12  month  period prior to the time at which any determination is required to be
made  as to whether any such person, firm, corporation, partnership, association
or  other  entity  is  a  Customer.

          (c)  No Payment. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that no separate
               -----------
or additional payment will be required to be made to him in consideration of his
undertakings  in  this  Section.

          (b)  Legitimate  Business  Interests. The Employee recognizes that the
               --------------------------------
Company  has  legitimate business interests to protect and as a consequence, the
Employee  agrees  to  the  restrictions contained in this Agreement because they

<PAGE>
further  the  Company's legitimate business interests. These legitimate business
interests  include,  but  are  not  limited  to (i) trade secrets; (ii) valuable

               ----------------
termination  of  employment,  or  as otherwise required by client privilege, the
Confidential  Information  shall  be  held  by  the  Employee  in  the strictest
confidence  and  shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, be
disclosed  to any person other than in connection with the Employee's employment
by  the  Company.  The  Employee  further  acknowledges  that  such Confidential
Information  as  is  acquired  and  used  by  the Company or its affiliates is a
special,  valuable  and  unique  asset.  The Employee shall exercise all due and
diligence  precautions  to  protect  the integrity of the Company's Confidential
Information  and  to  keep  it  confidential  whether  it is in written form, on
electronic  media  or  oral.  The  Employee  shall  not  copy  any  Confidential
Information  except  to  the  extent  necessary to his employment nor remove any
Confidential Information or copies thereof from the Company's premises except to
the  extent  necessary to his employment and then only with the authorization of
an  officer of the Company. All records, files, materials and other Confidential
Information  obtained  by  the Employee in the course of his employment with the
Company are confidential and proprietary and shall remain the exclusive property
of  the  Company  or  its customers, as the case may be. The Employee shall not,
except in connection with and as required by his performance of his duties under
this  Agreement,  for  any  reason use for his own benefit or the benefit of any
person  or  entity  with  which  he  may  be  associated  or  disclose  any such
Confidential  Information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other
entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever without the prior written consent of
an  officer  of  the  Company  (excluding  the  Employee,  if  applicable).

          (d)  References  to  the  Company  in this Section 8 shall include the
Company's affiliates,  subsidiaries  and  successors  if  any.

     9.   EQUITABLE  RELIEF.
          ------------------

          (a)  Injunction.  The  Company  and  the  Employee  recognize that the
               -----------
services to be rendered under this Agreement by the Employee are special, unique
and  of  extraordinary  character,  and  that  in the event of the breach by the
Employee of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or if the Employee, shall
cease  to  be  an  employee of the Company for any reason and take any action in
violation  of  Section  7  and/or  Section  8,  the Company shall be entitled to
institute  and  prosecute  proceedings  in  any  court of competent jurisdiction
referred  to  in  Section  9(b) below, to enjoin the Employee from breaching the
provisions  of  Section 7 or Section 8. In such action, the Company shall not be
required to plead or prove irreparable harm or lack of an adequate remedy at law
or  post  a  bond  or  any  security.

          (b)  Exclusive  Jurisdiction and Venue. Any action, suit or proceeding
               ---------------------------------
arising  out  of under or in connection with this Agreement whether, brought for
equitable  relief  or  money damages shall be brought in either state or federal

                  (Company) _____ Page 7 of 12 (Employee)_____
<PAGE>
court  in  Miami-Dade  County,  Florida and no other forum. The Employee and the
Company irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and
venue  of  such  courts and agree to take any and all future action necessary to
submit  to  the  jurisdiction  of  such  courts.  The  Employee  and the Company
irrevocably  waive  any  objection  that  they now have or hereafter irrevocably
waive  any  objection  that they now have or hereafter may have to the laying of
venue  of  any  suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and further
irrevocably  waive any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment against
the  Employee  or  the  Company  in any such suit shall be conclusive and may be
enforced  in  other  jurisdictions  by suit on the judgment, a certified or true
copy  of  which  shall  be conclusive evidence of the fact and the amount of any
liability  of  the  Employee or the Company therein described, or by appropriate
proceedings  under  any  applicable  treaty  or  otherwise.

     10.  CONFLICTS  OF  INTEREST.  While  employed by the Company, the Employee
          ----------------------
shall  not,  directly or indirectly, unless approved in writing by the Chairman:

          (a)  participate  as  an  individual  in  any  way  in the benefits of
transactions  with  any  of  the  Company's  suppliers  or Customers, including,
without  limitation,  having  a financial interest in the Company's suppliers or
Customers, or making loans to, or receiving loans, from, the Company's suppliers
or  Customers;

          (b)  realize  a personal gain or advantage from a transaction in which
the  Company  has an interest or use information obtained in connection with the
Employee's  employment with the Company for the Employee's personal advantage or
gain;  or

          (c)  accept  any  offer  to  serve  as  an officer, director, partner,
consultant,  manager  with,  or  to  be employed in a technical capacity by, any
person  or  entity  which  does  business  with  the  Company.

          (d)  As  used in Section 10(a), (b) and (c), the Company also includes
its  affiliates,  subsidiaries  and  successors,  if  any.

     11.  INVENTIONS,  IDEAS,  PROCESSES,  AND  DESIGNS.  All inventions, ideas,
          ----------------------------------------------
processes,  programs,  software,  and  designs  (including all improvements) (i)
conceived  or  made by the Employee during the course of his employment with the
Company  (whether  or  not actually conceived during regular business hours) and
for  a  period of six months subsequent to the termination or expiration of such
employment  with  the  Company  and (ii) related to the business of the Company,
shall  be disclosed in writing promptly to the Company and shall be the sole and
exclusive  property  of  the  Company.  An  invention,  idea,  process, program,
software,  or  design  including  an improvement) shall be deemed related to the
business  of  the  Company  if  (a)  it  was  made with the Company's equipment,
supplies,  facilities,  or  Confidential  Information,  (b)  results  from  work
performed  by  the  Employee  for  the  Company,  or (c) pertains to the current
business  or  demonstrably  anticipated  research  or  development  work  of the
Company.  The Employee shall cooperate with the Company and its attorneys in the
preparation of patent and copyright applications for such developments and, upon
request,  shall  promptly  assign  all  such  inventions,  ideas, processes, and
designs  to the Company. The decision to file for patent or copyright protection

                  (Company) _____ Page 8 of 12 (Employee)_____
<PAGE>
or  to  maintain  such  development  as  a  trade  secret  shall  be in the sole
discretion of the Company, and the Employee shall be bound by such decision. The
Employee  shall  provide  as a schedule to this Employment Agreement, a complete
list  of  all  inventions,  ideas,  processes,  and designs, if any, patented or
unpatented, copyrighted or non-copyrighted, including a brief description, which
he  made  or  conceived  prior  to  his  employment  with  the Company and which
therefore  are  excluded  from  the  scope  of  this  Agreement.

     12.  INDEBTEDNESS.  If,  during  the  course  of  the Employee's employment
          -------------
under  this  Agreement,  the  Employee  becomes  indebted to the Company for any
reason,  the  Company  may,  if it so elects, set off any sum due to the Company
from  the  Employee  and  collect  any  remaining  balance  from  the  Employee.

     13.  ASSIGNABILITY.  The  rights  and obligations of the Company under this
          --------------
Agreement  shall  inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the Company, provided that such successor or assign shall acquire all
or  substantially  all of the securities (via merger or otherwise) or assets and
business  of  the  Company.  The  Employee's  obligations  hereunder  may not be
assigned  or  alienated  and  any attempt to do so by the Employee will be void.

     14.  SEVERABILITY.
          -------------

          (a)  The  Employee  expressly  agrees that the character, duration and
geographical scope of the non-competition provisions set forth in this Agreement
are  reasonable  in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date hereof.
Should  a  decision,  however,  be  made at a later date by a court of competent
jurisdiction  that  the  character,  duration  or  geographical  scope  of  such
provisions  is  unreasonable,  then it is the intention and the agreement of the
Employee  and the Company that this Agreement shall be construed by the court in
such  a  manner  as  to impose only those restrictions on the Employee's conduct
that  are  reasonable  in the light of the circumstances and as are necessary to
assure  to  the  Company  the  benefits  of  this Agreement. If, in any judicial
proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed
included herein because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to
assure  to  the Company the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly
understood  and  agreed  by  the  parties  hereto  that  the  provisions of this
Agreement that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to
be  enforced  in such proceeding shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of
such  proceeding,  from  this  Agreement.

          (b)  If  any  provision  of  this  Agreement otherwise is deemed to be
invalid  or  unenforceable  or  is  prohibited  by  the  laws  of  the  state or
jurisdiction  where  it  is  to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered
divisible  as  to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such
state  or  jurisdiction  and  shall not be part of the consideration moving from
either  of  the parties to the other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall  be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provision were not
included.

     15.  NOTICES  AND  ADDRESSES.  All  notices,  offers,  acceptance  and  any
          ------------------------
other  acts under this Agreement (except payment) shall be in writing, and shall
