                                                                    ------------

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

         This Consulting Agreement (the "Agreement") is dated as of June 1, 2000
(the "Effective Date"), by and between Martin L. Hoffman, an individual (the
"Consultant"), and The Publishing Company of North America, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Client" or the "Company") for services to be provided by the
Consultant to the Client as described herein. The parties hereby agree to the
following terms and conditions in connection with such services.

         1. Services. The Consultant agrees to deliver to the Client the
material described on Exhibit A (the "Project"). If the Client requests
additional services related to the Project, the scope of such additional
services shall be as agreed by the parties and shall be governed by this
Agreement.

         2. Compensation. The parties agree that the Consultant shall receive
within five (5) days after the execution of this agreement by all parties and
the Client's receipt of an executed investment letter and receipt in the form
annexed as Schedule 2, 20,000 shares of the Client's unregistered common stock
(the "Common Stock") for the services to be rendered. If the Consultant has not
completed the project by October 31, 2000, a number of shares of the Client's
Common Stock shall be forfeited and canceled as follows:

                  20,000 [minus the product of (i) the number of articles
         delivered by the Consultant to the Client (ii) divided by 26 (iii)
         times 20,000] shall equal the number of shares to be forfeited and
         canceled. The shares of Common Stock may resold in the future under
         Rules 144 or 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
         Act"), subject to compliance with all of the provisions of the Rules.
         Rule 144 provides that securities may be resold after a one-year
         holding period from the date of payment subject to compliance with the
         Rule. Among other things, an order to sell the securities may only be
         placed after Form 144 has been mailed to the Securities and Exchange
         Commission, the securities must be sold to or through a broker-dealer,
         the volume limitations must be met (i.e., the greater of 1% of the
         outstanding shares or the average weekly trading volume for the four
         weeks preceding the filing of Form 144) and there can be no
         solicitation of any buy orders. Rule 144A applies to sales to
         institutions which are "qualified institutional buyers".

         2.1      Registration Rights.

                  (a)       Piggyback Registration.

                           (i) Each time that the Company proposes for any
reason to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act") in connection with the proposed offer and sale of its Common
Stock , either for its own account or on behalf of any

other security holder ("Proposed Registration"), other than pursuant to a
registration statement on Forms S-4, S-8 or any similar forms, the Company shall
promptly give written notice of such Proposed Registration to Shareholder, and
shall offer to Shareholder the right to request inclusion of his Common Stock
issued pursuant to the terms of the Agreement in the Proposed Registration.

                           (ii) The Shareholder shall have 30 days from the
receipt of such notice to deliver to the Company a written request specifying
the number of shares of Common Stock that Shareholder intends to sell in the
Proposed Registration, as well as information on Shareholder's intended method
of disposition.

                           (iii) If the Proposed Registration by the Company is,
in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering, the Company shall so
advise Shareholder and any request must specify that his Common Stock be
included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the shares of
Common Stock otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration.

                           (iv) Upon receipt of a written request the Company
shall promptly use its best efforts to cause all such shares of Common Stock
held by Shareholder to be registered under the Securities Act (and included in
any related qualifications or registration under blue sky laws , to the extent
required to permit sale or disposition as set forth in the Proposed
Registration.

                           (v) If the offering is to be an underwritten
offering, and Shareholder proposes to distribute its shares of Common Stock
through such underwritten offering, Shareholder agrees to enter into an
underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by the Company. The Shareholder may withdraw his Common Stock from
such offering at any time until the dayprior to the effective date of the
registration statement by written notice to the Company and the managing
underwriter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in its good faith judgment the managing
underwriter determines and advises the Company in writing that the inclusion of
the Common Stock issued to Shareholder pursuant to the Agreement in the
underwritten public offering, together with any Common Stock offered by the
Company would interfere with the successful marketing of such securities, the
managing underwriter may exclude the Common Stock owned by the Shareholder from
the Proposed Registration as long as all shares of Common Stock owned by the
Company's officers, directors and 5% shareholders are excluded.

                  (b) Preparation and Filing. If and whenever the Company is
under an obligation pursuant to this Agreement to use its best efforts to effect
the registration of any shares of its Common Stock, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as practicable:

or other disposition of all Common Stock covered by such registration statement;

                           (iii) furnish to the Shareholder such number of

enable Shareholder to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such
jurisdictions of such Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to consent to general service of process for all purposes in any
jurisdiction where it is not then subject to process, qualify to do business as
a foreign corporation where it would not be otherwise required to qualify or
submit to liability for state or local taxes where it is not liable for such
taxes;

                           (v) at any time when a prospectus is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act, notify Shareholder of the happening of any
event as a result of which the prospectus includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing and, at the request of the Shareholder, as promptly
as practicable prepare, file and furnish to the Shareholder a reasonable number
of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be
necessary so that such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing;

                           (vi) if the Company has delivered preliminary or
final prospectuses to Shareholder and after having done so the prospectus is
amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall
promptly notify Shareholder and Shareholder , if requested, shall immediately

the Client. Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) is
in the possession of the Consultant prior to its receipt of such information

circumstances surrounding such request, (b) consults with Client on the
advisability of taking available legal steps to resist or narrow such request,

the Project (including the provision of consulting services), or (ii) any
transaction or matter which is related to the subject matter of the Project.

                  The Consultant shall not, however, be liable under the
foregoing indemnity agreement to the extent that any such Losses are determined
by an arbitration pursuant to Section 17 of this Agreement or are otherwise
finally determined, as the case may be, to have resulted primarily from the
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Indemnified Person in
connection with the Project.

                  No Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle any action
brought against it without the consent of the Consultant. Notwithstanding the

invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom.

         Re: The Publishing Company of North America, Inc./ Stock Transfer

Dear Sirs:

         This will confirm my representation to you and my agreement with you in
connection with my acquisition of 110,000 shares ("Shares") of the common stock
of The Publishing Company of North America, Inc. (the "Company"), a Florida
corporation.

         1. Prior to my acquisition of these Shares, I have reviewed the
operations of the Company and in this connection the Company offered me access
to the same information concerning it which would be contained in a prospectus
meeting the requirements of ss.10 to the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities
Act"), ss.517.061(11)(a)3 of the Florida Securities and Investor Protection Act
("Florida Act") and Rule 3E-500.05 thereunder, and other applicable state
securities laws. In connection therewith, I furnished you with information, upon
which you have relied, in support of my advice to you that I am a substantial
investor and able to bear the risk of the loss of my entire investment. In
addition, I have the knowledge and experience in business matters so that I am
capable of evaluating the merits and risks involved with my acquisition of the
Shares. Alternatively, in making such acquisition I relied upon the advice of
N/A as to the appropriateness of such investment, and such person has the
knowledge and experience in business matters so as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks involved with the acquisition of the Shares.

         2. I have acquired the Shares for my own account. You have advised me
that the transfer of the Shares to me will not be registered under the
Securities Act, the Florida Act, and other applicable state securities laws, and
that in not registering the Shares you have relied upon my representations to
you set forth in this letter. The Shares were acquired by me for my own account
for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the
distribution thereof. I have no present intention of reselling or distributing
them after any period of time. I do not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell or transfer to such persons or
to any third person, any of the Shares. My acquisition of the Shares for
investment is consistent with my financial needs.

         3. I shall make no disposition at any time of any of the Shares in
contravention of the provisions of the Securities Act, the Florida Act, or rules
thereunder.

                           Stock that Seller intends to sell in the Proposed

                           intended method of disposition.

                  (iii)    In the event that the Proposed Registration by the
                           Purchaser is, in whole or in part, an underwritten
                           public offering, the Purchaser shall so advise Seller
                           and any request must specify that their Common Stock
                           be included in the underwriting on the same terms and

                           otherwise being sold through underwriters under such
                           registration.

                  (iv)     Upon receipt of a written request, the Purchaser
                           shall promptly use its best efforts to cause all such
                           shares of Common Stock held by Seller to be
                           registered under the Securities Act (and included in
                           any related qualifications under blue sky laws or
                           other compliance), to the extent required to permit
                           sale or disposition as set forth in the Proposed
                           Registration.

                  (v)      In the event that the offering is to be an
                           underwritten offering, and Seller proposes to
                           distribute its shares of Common Stock through such
                           underwritten offering, Seller agrees to enter into an
                           underwriting agreement with the underwriter or

                           Purchaser.

                  (vi)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in its good faith
                           judgment the managing underwriter determines and
                           advises the Purchaser in writing that the inclusion
                           of the Common Stock issued to Seller pursuant to the
                           Agreement in the underwritten public offering,
                           together with any Common Stock offered by the
                           Purchaser would interfere with the successful
                           marketing of such securities, the managing
                           underwriter may exclude the Common Stock from the
                           Proposed Registration as long as all shares of Common
                           Stock owned by the Purchaser's officers, directors
                           and 5% shareholders are excluded.

         (b)      Preparation and Filing. If and whenever the Purchaser is under
                  an obligation pursuant to this Agreement to use its best
                  efforts to effect the registration of any shares of its Common
                  Stock, the Purchaser shall, as expeditiously as practicable:

                  (i)      prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
                           Commission (the "Commission") a registration
                           statement with respect to such securities and use its
                           best efforts to cause such registration statement to
                           become and remain effective in accordance with
                           Section 2(b) hereof;

                  (ii)     prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
                           and supplements to such registration statement and
                           the prospectus used in connection

                           date of the registration statement, and to comply
                           with the provisions of the Securities Act with

                           Common Stock covered by such registration statement;

                           preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the

                           documents as such holder may reasonably request in
                           order to facilitate the public sale or other
                           disposition of such shares of Common Stock issued to
                           Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

                  (iv)     use its best efforts to register or qualify the
                           Common Stock covered by such registration statement
                           under the securities or blue sky laws of New York and

                           enable Seller to consummate the public sale or other
                           disposition in such jurisdictions of such Common
                           Stock; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall
                           not be required to consent to general service of
                           process for all purposes in any jurisdiction where it
                           is not then subject to process, qualify to do
                           business as a foreign corporation where it would not

                           liable for such taxes;

                  (v)      at any time when a prospectus relating thereto
                           covered by such registration statement is required to
                           be delivered under the Securities Act, notify Seller
                           of the happening of any event as a result of which
                           the prospectus included in such registration, as then
                           in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material
                           fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
                           stated therein or necessary to make the statements
                           therein not misleading in light of-the circumstances
                           then existing and, at the request of such holder, as
                           promptly as practicable prepare, file and furnish to
                           such holder a reasonable number of copies of a
                           supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as
                           may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to
                           the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall
                           not include an untrue statement of a material fact or
                           omit to state a material fact required to be stated

                  actual knowledge of the commencement of any action or the
                  assertion of any claim that will likely result in a claim by

                  correspondence or pleadings from the party asserting such
                  claim or initiating such action. The indemnified party shall
                  be entitled, at its own expense, to assume or participate in
                  the defense of such action or claim. In the event that the
                  indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action or
                  claim, it shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such party
                  and approved by the party seeking indemnification, which

                  be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying party shall be
                  entitled to participate in the defense of such action, the
                  cost of such participation to be at its own expense. The
                  indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable
                  attorneys' fees and expenses of the party seeking

                  party. The indemnifying party shall have the right to settle
                  any action brought against an indemnified party as long as the
                  indemnified party has been delivered a complete release as a
                  condition of the settlement.

5.6      Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided for herein shall be
         cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any party of any other

         limit, impair or modify any provisions of this Agreement or to
         otherwise impose any additional liability or obligation on the
