         2.       TERM.

                  2.1      Term. Executive has been employed by the Company as
Director of Recruitment since March 22, 2002 under the Employment Agreement of
that date, which is being amended and restated hereunder. The term of
Executive's employment as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman under this
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement shall commence on the date of this
Agreement first written above (the "Commencement Date") and shall expire on the
date that is two (2) years from the Commencement Date, (the "Expiration Date")
unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

                  2.2      Renewal. This Agreement may be renewed or extended
upon mutual agreement between the Company and the Executive and such renewal or
extension period shall be referred to as the "Renewal Period."

                  2.3      Term of Employment. The period between the
Commencement Date and the Expiration Date, during which the Company pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement shall employ the Executive, together with any
Renewal Period, is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the "Term of
Employment."

         3.       COMPENSATION.

                  3.1      Base Salary. The Executive shall receive a base
salary at the annual rate of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000,00) (the "Base
Salary") during the Term of Employment, with such Base Salary payable in
installments consistent with the Company's normal payroll schedule, subject to
applicable withholding and other taxes. The Base Salary shall be reviewed, at
least annually, for merit increases and may, by action and in the discretion of
the Board, be increased at any time or from time to time.

                  3.2      Override. The Executive shall receive an override or
fee equal to three percent (3%) ("Override") of the first twelve month's gross
production generated by any and all brokers recruited by Executive and engaged
by the Company as independent registered representatives who remain with the
Company for no less than twelve months from their date of hire by the Company,
such override period to commence on the date of hire of each such broker and to
terminate on the date that is the last day of twelve consecutive months
thereafter. Any and all payments made by the Company to third parties for the
recruitment of the subject brokers shall be included with the twelve months'
gross production for purposes of determining the amount of the Override.

                  3.3      Commissions. The Executive shall receive payments
("Commission Payments") calculated at "grid" as a percent of the commission
income generated by Executive as a registered representative with the Company,

accounts and all ticket charges.

                  3.4      Bonuses.

                           (a)      The Executive shall receive such bonuses,
if any, as the Board may in its sole and absolute discretion determine.

                           (b)      Any bonuses paid pursuant to this Section
3.4 are sometimes hereinafter referred to as "Incentive Compensation."

         4.       EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT AND OTHER BENEFITS.

                  4.1      Reimbursement of Expenses. Upon the submission of
proper substantiation by the Executive, and subject to such rules and
guidelines as the Company may from time to time adopt, the Company shall
reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses actually paid or incurred
by the Executive during the Term of Employment in the course of and pursuant to
the business of the Company. The Executive shall account to the Company in
writing for all expenses for which reimbursement is sought and shall supply to
the Company copies of all relevant invoices, receipts or other evidence
reasonably requested by the Company.

                  4.2      Compensation/Benefit Programs. During the Term of
Employment, the Company shall provide benefits to the Executive in accordance
with the Company's standard benefit package.

                  4.3      Working Facilities. During the Term of Employment,
the Company shall furnish the Executive with an office, secretarial help and
such other facilities and services suitable to his position and adequate for
the performance of his duties hereunder.

                  4.4      Automobile. During the Term of Employment, the
Company shall provide the Executive with a non-accountable automobile allowance
of $700.00 per month, which amount is intended to: (a) compensate the Executive
for wear and tear; and (b) reimburse the Executive for all costs of gasoline,
oil, repairs, maintenance, insurance and other expenses incurred by the
Executive by reason of the use of the Executive's automobile for Company
business from time to time; provided however, the Executive shall be reimbursed
for reasonable expenses incurred from commuting between Boca Raton, Florida and
Indialantic, Florida.

                  4.5      Stock Option. On March 22, 2002, the Company granted
to Executive a non-qualified option (the "Stock Option") for the purchase
7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") at an exercise
price of $0.25 per share, and terminating on December 31, 2007 (if not
terminated earlier under the terms of the option). The Stock Option vested and
became exercisable in full on the date of grant. The Stock Option is evidenced
by a stock option agreement with such additional terms as are customary. As
provided in the Stock Option agreement, the Company hereby confirms that it
will pay the amount of Executive's income tax liability incurred by him upon
exercise of the Stock Option or any portion thereof that is directly related to
such exercise; provided, however, that the Company's obligation to pay such tax
shall not exceed the amount of the tax benefit the Company receives as a direct
result of the Executive's exercise of the Stock Option or any portion thereof.
Coverage of such tax by the Company shall be made in the form of a bonus to the
Executive, which will be also subject to the same tax coverage by the Company,
up to a maximum amount of the Company's tax benefit derived from such bonus.
The amount of the total tax liability of the Executive (and, therefore,

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

the Company's liability, up to a maximum of the tax benefit to the Company in
connection with the foregoing) shall be calculated by the Company at the time
of exercise of the Stock Option or any portion thereof pursuant to the
following convergence formula recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as
applicable to calculating such tax liability: I divided by (1 - X) multiplied
by X (where "I" is the amount deemed compensation pursuant to option exercise
and where "X" is the Executive's highest marginal income tax bracket). For
example, assuming the compensation resulting from option exercise if
$1,000,000, and the Executive was in the 40% tax bracket, the calculation for
the total tax liability would be as follows:

         Income x .40  =  amount of tax liability
         ------------
           1 - .40

         $1,000,000 x .40 = $1,000,000 x .40 = $666,666.67 (total tax liability)
         ----------------   ----------------
             1 - .40              .60

                  4.6      Other Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to a
minimum of two weeks of vacation each calendar year during the Term of
Employment, and such additional time as the Executive and the Board shall
agree, to be taken at such times as the Executive and the Company shall
mutually determine and provided that no vacation time shall interfere with the
duties required to be rendered by the Executive hereunder. Any vacation time
not taken by the Executive during any calendar year may not be carried forward
into any succeeding calendar year. The Executive shall receive such additional
benefits, if any, as the Board shall from time to time determine.

         5.       TERMINATION.

                  5.1      Termination for Cause. The Company shall at all
times have the right, upon written notice to the Executive, to terminate the
Term of Employment, for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause"
shall mean: (a) an action or omission of the Executive which constitutes a
material breach of, or failure or refusal (other than by reason of his
disability) to perform his duties for which he was hired, which, if curable, is
not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Executive of written
notice of same; (b) commission of any act which involves fraud, embezzlement,
misappropriation of funds, or breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the
performance of his duties as an employee of the Company; (c) commission of any
crime which involves moral turpitude; or (d) gross negligence in connection
with the performance of the Executive's duties hereunder, which, if curable, is
not cured within thirty (30) days after written receipt by the Executive of
written notice of same. Any termination for Cause shall be made in writing to
the Executive, which notice shall set forth in detail all acts or omissions
upon which the Company is relying for such termination. The Executive shall
have the right to address the Board regarding the acts set forth in the notice
of termination. Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Company
shall pay to the Executive his Base Salary to the date of termination, plus any
unpaid Overrides, Commission Payments and Incentive Compensation earned by the
Executive as of the date of termination. The Company shall have no further
liability under this Agreement other than for reimbursement for reasonable
business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination, subject, however,
to the Company's policy on reimbursements of business expenses.

                                      -4-

                  5.2      Disability. The Company shall at all times have the
right, upon written notice to the Executive, to terminate the Term of
Employment, if the Executive shall become entitled to benefits under the
Company's disability plan or program as then in effect, or, if the Executive
shall as the result of mental or physical incapacity, illness or disability,
become unable to perform his obligations hereunder for a period of 120
consecutive days or for an aggregate of 180 days, whether or not consecutive,
in any 12-month period. The Company shall have sole discretion based upon
competent medical advice to determine whether the Executive continues to be
disabled. Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 5.2, the Company shall:
(a) pay to the Executive any unpaid Base Salary through the effective date of
termination specified in such notice, together with any unpaid Overrides,
Commission Payments and Incentive Compensation earned by the Executive as of
the date of termination; and (b) pay to the Executive a severance payment equal
to six (6) months of the Executive's Base Salary at the time of the termination
of the Executive's employment with the Company. Any payments made to the
Executive pursuant to subsection 5.2 (b) above shall be reduced by that amount
of compensation or monetary benefit received by the Executive from any third
party from the time of the termination of the Executive's employment with the
Company until six (6) months thereafter. The Company shall have no further
liability under this Agreement other than for reimbursement for reasonable
business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination, subject, however,
to the Company's policy on reimbursements of business expenses.

                  5.3      Death. Upon the death of the Executive during the
Term of Employment with the Company, the Company shall pay to the estate of the
deceased Executive any unpaid Base Salary through the Executive's date of
death, together with any unpaid Overrides, Commission Payments and Incentive
Compensation earned by the Executive as of the date of death. The Company shall
have no further liability under this Agreement other than for reimbursement for
reasonable business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination,
subject, however, to the Company's policy on reimbursements of business
expenses.

                  5.4      Termination Without Cause. The Company shall at all
times have the right, upon written notice to the Executive, to terminate the
Term of Employment. Upon any termination of the Executive's employment by the
Company (that is not a termination under any of Sections 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3), the
Company shall pay to the Executive: (a) any unpaid Base Salary through the
effective date of termination specified in such notice, together with any
unpaid Overrides, Commission Payments and Incentive Compensation earned by the
Executive as of the date of termination; and (b) an amount equal to the Base
Salary ("Termination Payment") in twelve (12) equal monthly payments commencing
one (1) month after the effective date of termination specified in the
termination notice described above. The amount of the Termination Payment shall
be reduced by that amount of compensation or monetary benefit received by the
Executive from any third party from the time of the termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company until the Termination Payment is paid
in full to the Executive. The Company shall have no further liability under
this Agreement other than for reimbursement for reasonable business expenses
incurred prior to the date of termination, subject, however, to the Company's
policy on reimbursements of business expenses. As a condition to receipt of the
Termination Payment: (x) concurrent with the receipt of the first monthly
payment of the Termination Payment, the Executive shall deliver to the Company
a general release in form acceptable to the Board releasing the Company from
any and all rights, claims, demands, judgments, obligations, liabilities and
damages, whether accrued or unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, and whether
known or unknown, relating to the Company which ever existed, then existed, or
may thereafter exist, by reason of the termination of this Agreement without
cause, except payment of the Termination Payment; and (y) the Executive shall
notify the Company if he receives any compensation or other monetary benefit
from a third party during the time period the Executive receives the
Termination Payment.

Term of Employment.

                           (b)      Upon termination of the Term of Employment

shall pay to the Executive any unpaid Base Salary through the effective date of
termination specified in such notice together with any unpaid Overrides,

                           (c)      Upon termination of the Term of Employment

payable by the Company to the Executive under Section 5.4 of this Agreement if
the Term of Employment had been terminated by the Company without Cause. The
Company shall have no further liability under this Agreement other than for
reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred prior to the date of
termination, subject, however, to the Company's policy on reimbursements of
business expenses.

                           (d)      For purposes of this Agreement, "Good
Reason" shall mean: (i) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the
provisions of Article 3 of this Agreement, other than an isolated,
insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is
remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the
Executive; (ii) the Company's requiring the Executive to be based at any office
or location outside of Florida, except for travel reasonably required in the

(as defined in subsection (b) of this Section 5.6) in the Company shall occur
during the Term of Employment; and (ii) prior to twelve (12) months after the
date of the Change in Control, either (x) the Term of Employment is terminated

business expenses.

                           (b)      For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Change in Control" shall mean:

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

each case, with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of the
Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation or
other transaction do not, immediately thereafter, own 50% or more of the

securities, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership
immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation or other

of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (unless such
reorganization, merger, consolidation or other corporate transaction,
liquidation, dissolution or sale is subsequently abandoned);

(ii)     Individuals who, as of the Commencement Date of this Agreement,

of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest
relating to the election of the Directors of the Company, as such terms are

Interest") excluding, for this purpose, any acquisitions by: (1) the Company or
its Subsidiaries; (2) any person, entity or "group" that as of the Commencement
Date of this Agreement owns beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act) of a Controlling Interest;
or (3) any employee benefit plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

                           (c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stock
Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Executive and Richard Parker and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein shall not be deemed a
"Change of Control" under this Section 5.6.

                  5.7      Resignation. Upon any termination of the Term of
Employment pursuant to this Article 5, the Executive shall be deemed to have
resigned as an officer, and if he or she was then serving as a director of the
Company, as a director, and if required by the Board, the Executive hereby
agrees to immediately execute a resignation letter to the Board.

                  5.8      Survival. The provisions of this Article 5 shall

         6.       RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

                  6.1      Confidential Information. The Executive hereby
acknowledges and agrees that in the course of his employment he will acquire
knowledge and will have access to information, whether in written, typed or

following types of information are deemed confidential ("Confidential
Information") and shall not be disclosed or used by the Executive except as
required and authorized in furtherance of the Company's Business: specific

records; operational, sales, promotional, and marketing methods and techniques;

proprietary, competition sensitive, or technical information or secrets
developed with or without the help of the Executive. In the event the NASD does
not approve of the change of control of the Company under the Stock Purchase
Agreement and, as a result, such change of control is unwound, the term
"Confidential Information" shall not include information brought to the Company
on and after March 22, 2002 by Executive or by Executive's Team (as such term
is defined in Section 6.3, below).

                  6.2      Nondisclosure. The Executive shall not, during the
term of his employment, or at any time thereafter, either directly or
indirectly, communicate, publish, disclose, divulge, or use, or authorize
anyone else to communicate, publish, disclose, divulge, or use, for the benefit
of himself or any other person, persons, partnership, association, corporation,
or other entity, any Confidential Information which may be communicated to the
Executive or of which the Executive may be apprised by virtue of his employment
with the Company. Any and all information, knowledge, know-how, and techniques
which the Company designates as confidential shall be deemed confidential for
purposes of this Agreement, except information which the Executive can
demonstrate came to his attention prior to disclosure thereof by the Company;
or which, at or after the time of disclosure by the Company to the Executive,
lawfully had become a part of the public domain through lawful publication or
communication by others. In the event the NASD does not approve of the change
of control of the Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement and, as a result,
such change of control is unwound, the term "Confidential Information" shall
not include information brought to the Company on and after March 22, 2002 by
Executive or by Executive's Team.

                  6.3      Non-solicitation of Employees and Clients. The

or customer lists of the Company. The Executive covenants and agrees that
during the term of this Agreement, and for a continuous uninterrupted period of
twelve (12) months, commencing upon the expiration or termination of the
Executive's relationship with the Company, except as otherwise approved in
writing by the Company, the Executive shall not, either directly or indirectly,
for himself, or through, on behalf of, or in conjunction with any person,
persons, partnership, association, corporation, or entity:

                           (a)      Divert or attempt to divert or solicit any
prospective or existing customer of the Company to any competitor by direct or
indirect inducement or otherwise; or

                           (b)      Employ or hire or seek to employ or hire
any person who is at that time working for the Company as an employee or
independent registered representative, any affiliate of the Company, or
otherwise directly or indirectly induce or solicit such person to leave his or
her employment.

         In the event the NASD does not approve of the change of control of the
Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement and, as a result, such change of
control is unwound, (A) for purposes of Subsection 6.3(a) above: (i) the term
"prospective customer" shall exclude those prospects first contacted for
Company business on and after March 22, 2002 by the Executive or by Executive's
Team; and (ii) the term "existing customers" shall exclude those customers
first brought to the Company on and after March 22, 2002 by Executive or by
Executive's Team; and (B) for purposes of Subsection 6.3(b) above, the terms
"employee" or "independent registered representative" shall exclude those

                  6.4      Reasonably Necessary. The Company and the Executive
agree that the Confidential Information set forth in Section 6.1 and the
substantial relationships with the Company's specific prospective and existing
customers and vendors: (i) are valuable, special, and a unique asset of the
Company; (ii) have provided and will hereafter provide the Company with a
substantial competitive advantage in the operation of its Business; and (iii)
are a legitimate business interest of the Company. The Company and the
Executive also agree that the existence of these legitimate business interests
justifies the need for the restrictive covenants set forth in this Article 2,
and the restrictive covenants are reasonably necessary to protect the Company's
legitimate business interests.

                  6.5      Reasonable Restrictions. The Executive agrees and
acknowledges; (a) that the geographical and time limitations contained in this
Agreement are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of
the business interests of the Company; and (b) the restrictions contained in
this Article 6 (including without limitation the length of the term of the
provisions of this Article 6) are not overbroad, overlong, or unfair and are
not the result of overreaching, duress or coercion of any kind. The Executive
further acknowledges and confirms that his full, uninhibited and faithful
observance of each of the covenants contained in this Article 6 will not cause
him any undue hardship, financial or otherwise, and that enforcement of each of
the covenants contained herein will not impair his ability to obtain employment
commensurate with his abilities and on terms fully acceptable to him or
otherwise to obtain income required for the comfortable support of him and his
family and the satisfaction of the needs of his creditors. The Executive
acknowledges and confirms that his special knowledge of the Business of the
Company is such as would cause the Company serious injury or loss if he were to
use such ability and knowledge to the benefit of a competitor or was to compete
with the Company in violation of the terms of this Article 6. It is agreed by
the Executive that if any portion of the restrictions contained in this
Agreement are held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy,
then the restriction shall be considered divisible, both as to the time and to
the geographical area, with each month of the specified period being deemed a
separate period of time, and each country or portion thereof of the specified
area being deemed a separate geographical area, so that the lesser period of
time or geographical area shall remain effective, so long as the same is not
unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy. The parties hereto agree
that in the event any court of competent jurisdiction determines the specified
period or the specified geographical area of the restricted territory to be
unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, a lesser time period or
geographical area which is determined to be reasonable, non-arbitrary, and not
against public policy may be enforced against Executive.

                  6.6      Continuity of Restrictions. If the Executive shall
violate any of the terms or covenants contained herein, and if any court action
is instituted by the Company to prevent or enjoin such violation, then the
period of time during which the terms or covenants of this Agreement shall
apply, as provided in this Agreement, shall be lengthened by a period of time
equal to the period between the date of the initial breach of the terms or
covenants contained in this Agreement, whether or not the Company had knowledge
of the breach, and the date on which the decree of the court disposing of the
issues upon the merits shall become final and not subject to further appeal.

                  6.7      Books and Records. All notes, data, reference
material, sketches, drawings, memoranda, files, documents, specifications and
any records in any way relating to any of the Confidential Information or to
the Company's Business, whether prepared by the Executive or otherwise coming
into the Executive's possession, shall remain the exclusive property of the
Company and shall not be removed from the premises of the Company under any
circumstances whatsoever without the prior written consent of the Company. Upon
the request of the Company, or absent such request, upon the termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall
immediately return to the Company all such property, materials and any and all
copies thereof in the

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

Executive's possession. In the event the NASD does not approve of the change of
control of the Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement and, as a result,
such change of control is unwound, the term "Confidential Information" shall
not include information brought to the Company on and after March 22, 2002 by
Executive or by Executive's Team.

                  6.8      Definition of Company. Solely for purposes of this
Article 6, the term "Company" also shall include any existing or future
subsidiaries of the Company that are operating during the time periods
described herein and any other entities that directly or indirectly, through
one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by or are under common
control with the Company during the periods described herein.

                  6.9      Survival. The provisions of this Article 6 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement, as applicable.

         7.       REMEDIES.

                  7.1      Liquidated Damages. The Executive and the Company
hereby acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any breach by the Executive,
directly or indirectly, of the foregoing restrictive covenants under Article 6,
it will be difficult to ascertain the precise amount of damages that may be
suffered by the Company by reason of such breach; and accordingly, the parties
hereby agree that, as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) in respect of
any such breach, the Executive shall be required to provide an accounting of
any and all benefits received or derived, either directly or indirectly, by the
Executive as a result of such breach, including, but not limited to, true and
correct financial records, or other data detailing the financial benefit the
Executive received or derived, directly or indirectly, from any and all
volatile acts or activities, and the Executive thereafter shall be required to
pay to the Company, as damages, cash amounts equal to any and all gross
revenues received or derived by the Executive, directly or indirectly, from any
and all volatile acts or activities. The parties hereby agree that the
foregoing constitutes a fair and reasonable estimate of the actual damages that
might be suffered by reason of any breach of any of the covenants contained in
Article 6 of this Agreement by the Executive, and the parties hereby agree to
such liquidated damages in lieu of any and all other measures of damages that
might be asserted in respect of any subject breach.

                  7.2      Injunction. The Executive agrees that a violation or
a breach of the terms, covenants, or provisions contained in this Agreement
would cause irreparable injury to the Company, and that the remedy at law for
any violation or breach would be inadequate and would be difficult to
ascertain, and therefore, in the event of the violation or breach, or
threatened violation or breach of any such terms, covenants, or provisions
contained in this Agreement, the Company shall have the independent right to
enjoin the Executive from any threatened or actual activities in violation
thereof. The Executive hereby consents and agrees that temporary and permanent
injunctive relief may be granted in any proceedings which might be brought to
enforce any such terms, covenants, or provisions without the necessity of proof
of actual damages or the posting of a bond. In the event the Company does apply
for such an injunction, the Executive shall not raise as a defense thereto that
the Company has an adequate remedy at law.

         8.       ASSIGNMENT. The Executive shall not have the right to assign
or delegate his rights or obligations hereunder, or any portion thereof, to any
other person. This Agreement, and the Company's rights and obligations
hereunder, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company's
successors and assigns.

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

         9.       INDEPENDENT COVENANTS. The parties agree that each of the
covenants and provisions contained in this Agreement shall be deemed severable
and construed as independent of any other covenant or provision.

         10.      SEVERABILITY. If all or any portion of a covenant or
provision in this Agreement is held invalid, unreasonable or unenforceable by a
court or agency having valid jurisdiction in an unappealed final decision to
which the Company is a party, the remaining covenants and provisions shall
remain valid and enforceable. The Executive expressly agrees to be bound by any
lesser covenant or provision subsumed within the terms of such covenant or
provision that imposes the maximum duty permitted by law, as if the resulting
covenant or provision were separately stated in, and made a part of this
Agreement.

         11.      ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of a dispute regarding, arising
out of, or in connection with the breach, enforcement, or interpretation of
this Agreement, including, without limitation, any action seeking declaratory
relief, equitable relief, injunctive relief, or damages, or any litigation or
cause of action, including, without limitation, any appeals, federal bankruptcy
proceedings, receivership or insolvency proceedings, reorganization, or other
proceedings, the prevailing party shall recover all costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith, including without limitation
at the pre-trial, trial and appellate levels, and any costs of collection.

         12.      GOVERNING LAW. The validity, interpretation and enforcement
of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
local laws of the State of Florida (without giving effect to its conflicts of
laws provisions), and to the exclusion of the law of any other forum, without
regard to the jurisdiction in which any action or special proceeding may be
instituted.

         13.      EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION; VENUE. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES TO
SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE STATE AND/OR FEDERAL
COURTS LOCATED IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA FOR RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES
ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR BY REASON OF THE INTERPRETATION,
CONSTRUCTION, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND HEREBY WAIVES THE CLAIM OR
DEFENSE THEREIN THAT SUCH COURTS CONSTITUTE AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

         14.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THIS
AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUES SO TRIABLE.

         15.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains and represents the
entire and complete understanding and agreement concerning and in reference to
the employment arrangement between the parties hereto and this Agreement
supersedes any and all prior agreements pertaining to the subject matter
hereof. The parties hereto agree that no prior statements, representations,
promises, agreements, instructions, or understandings, written or oral,
pertaining to this Agreement, other than those specifically set forth and
stated herein, shall be of any force or effect.

         16.      MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may not be, and
shall not be construed to have been modified, amended, rescinded, canceled, or
waived, in whole or in part, except if done so in writing and executed by the
parties hereto.

                                     -11-

         17.      NOTICES. All notices required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered by courier,
sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested or sent by
confirmed facsimile transmission addressed as set forth herein. Notices
personally delivered, sent by facsimile or sent by overnight courier shall be
deemed given on the date of delivery and notices mailed in accordance with the
foregoing shall be deemed given upon the earlier of receipt by the addressee,
as evidenced by the return receipt thereof, or three (3) days after deposit in
the U.S. mail. Notice shall be sent: (a) if to the Company, addressed to 25

Company, or to such other address as either party hereto may from time to time
give notice of to the other.

         18.      BENEFITS; BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be for the
benefit of and binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and, where
applicable, assigns, including, without limitation, any successor to the
Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of stock, sale of assets or
otherwise.

         19.      CONSTRUCTION. Each party to this Agreement had the
opportunity to consult with counsel of their choice and make comments
concerning the Agreement. No legal or other presumption against the party
drafting this Agreement concerning its construction, interpretation or
otherwise accrue to the benefit of any party to this Agreement and each party
expressly waives the right to assert such a presumption in any proceedings or
disputes connected with, arising out of, or involving this Agreement.

         20.      WAIVERS. The waiver by either party hereto of a breach or
violation of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not operate nor be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation.

         21.      SECTION HEADINGS. The section headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

         22.      NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. Nothing expressed or implied in
this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any
person other than the Company, the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and assigns, any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

         23.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SERVICES, INC., a Florida corporation (the "COMPANY"), MARSHALL T. LEEDS, an
individual shareholder of the Company ("LEEDS" or "PROXY"), RICHARD PARKER, an
individual shareholder of the Company ("PARKER"), and JOAN PARKER, only with
respect to the Jointly-Held Shares (defined below) ("JOAN PARKER").

                                   RECITALS

         WHEREAS, Parker beneficially owns 4,690,765 shares of the issued and

immediately exercisable options, (iii) 497,675 shares held as joint
tenants-in-common with Joan Parker (the "JOINTLY-HELD SHARES"), and (iv)
400,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of unvested options (the "UNVESTED
OPTIONS") (the shares of Common Stock set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
hereinabove are collectively referred to herein as the "PROXY SHARES"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company and Leeds have entered into a Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the "STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT"),
pursuant to which Leeds purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common
Stock and was granted immediately exercisable options to purchase an additional
7,000,000 shares of Common Stock; and

         WHEREAS, it is an express condition of the Stock Purchase Agreement
that Parker and Joan Parker enter into this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, Leeds desires to establish certain rights and obligations
regarding its status as Proxy with respect to the Proxy Shares, with such

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals set forth hereinabove

valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged
hereby, each of the parties hereto, intending legally to be bound, hereby
agrees as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT

         1.       INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The parties to this Agreement
hereby agree and acknowledge that all of the Recitals set forth hereinabove are
true, complete and correct in every respect and hereby incorporate said
Recitals into this Agreement by this reference.

<PAGE>

         2.       REPRESENTATIONS OF PARKER AND JOAN PARKER. Each of Parker and
Joan Parker hereby represents and warrants to the Proxy that he/she: (a) has
full power to enter into this Agreement and has not, prior to the date of this
Agreement, executed or delivered any proxy or entered into any other voting
agreement or similar arrangement and (b) will not take any action inconsistent
with the purposes and provisions of this Agreement.

         3.       SCOPE OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall govern the vote of
the Proxy Shares by the Proxy with respect to any and all matters concerning a
shareholder vote in respect of the Proxy Shares, whether at a meeting or
pursuant to written consent or otherwise, including, but not limited to the
election of the Company's Board of Directors. Unless terminated as hereinafter
provided, this Agreement shall remain in effect without regard to any action
taken by either Parker or Joan Parker. This Agreement pertains to voting rights
with respect to the Proxy Shares and does not confer on the Proxy cash or stock
dividends, distributions, disposition of Proxy Shares or proceeds from the sale
or other disposition of Proxy Shares.

         4.       CHANGES IN CAPITAL STOCK. In the event that subsequent to the
date of this Agreement any shares of capital stock or other securities the
Company are issued on, or in exchange for, any of the Proxy Shares by reason of
any stock dividend, stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification,
exchange, merger or consolidation or otherwise involving the Company, such
shares of capital stock or other securities shall be deemed to be Proxy Shares
for purposes of this Agreement.

         5.       VOTING OF PROXY SHARES. Each of Parker and Joan Parker agrees
and covenants that at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company and/or in
connection with any corporate action by the shareholders of the Company, all of
their respective shares of the Proxy Shares shall be voted by the Proxy in the
manner and to the effect determined by said Proxy in his sole and absolute
discretion. Accordingly, during the term of this Agreement, neither Parker nor
Joan Parker shall vote or attempt to vote any of their respective shares of the
Proxy Shares, or otherwise exercise or attempt to exercise any voting or other
approval rights of any of their respective shares of the Proxy Shares, and any
such prohibited exercise by either Parker or Joan Parker of voting or approval
rights shall be void and of no force or effect.

         6.       IRREVOCABLE PROXY.

                  (a)      In order to give effect to and in furtherance of the
agreements and covenants set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement, each of
Parker and Joan Parker hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Proxy as
proxy for Parker or Joan Parker, as the case may be, with full power of
substitution, for and in the name and on behalf of Parker or Joan Parker, as
the case may be, to vote any and all of their respective shares of Proxy Shares
with regard to any question, action, resolution, election or other matter
presented to the shareholders of the Company for vote or approval. Proxy shall
vote said Proxy Shares in such manner and to such effect as he may determine in
his sole and absolute discretion. The proxy granted hereby shall remain in
effect for so long as and at all times that this Agreement shall remain in
effect and shall terminate immediately and automatically only upon the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof. The
proxy granted hereby is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest, as
provided in Section 607.0722(5) of the Florida Business Corporation Act.

                  (b)      Proxy hereby accepts his appointment as proxy of
each of Parker and Joan Parker, pursuant to Subsection 6(a) of this Agreement.
Other than as specifically set forth herein, the Proxy shall have no other
rights with respect to the Proxy Shares.

         7.       LIMITATION OF PROXY'S LIABILITY. Proxy shall not incur any
liability or responsibility by reason of any error of judgment, mistake of law
or other mistake, or for any act or omission of any agent or attorney, or for
any misconstruction of this Agreement, or for any action of any kind taken or
omitted hereunder or believed by him to be in accordance with the provisions
and intents hereof.

         8.       TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate only upon the
earliest to occur of the occurrence of any one of the following events:

                  (a)      the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Execution Date of
                           this Agreement;

                  (b)      the date upon which Leeds is no longer an executive
                           officer and director of the Company;

                  (c)      the reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar
                           corporate transaction whereby the persons who were
                           the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to
                           the transaction do not, immediately thereafter, own
                           more than 50% of the combined voting power entitled
                           to vote;

                  (d)      the sale of all, or substantially all, of the assets
                           of the Company; or

                  (e)      the termination of this Agreement by the Proxy.

         9.       SUCCESSOR PROXY. In the event that the Proxy is unable or
unwilling to serve as the Proxy, a successor Proxy may be appointed by the
Proxy at his discretion, or if the Proxy is unable to make such appointment due
to his death or incapacity to act, by the consent of the successors to the
Proxy's individual shares of Stock that hold a majority interest in such
shares. A successor Proxy shall be vested with all the rights, powers and
authority as if originally named in this Agreement.

         10.      LEGEND; SUBSEQUENT HOLDERS OF PROXY SHARES. Upon execution of
this Agreement, each of Parker and Joan Parker hereby acknowledges and agrees
that all certificates for the shares of Proxy Shares may, but need not, be
imprinted by the Proxy with notice of this Agreement and the irrevocable proxy
set forth herein. Each of Parker and Joan Parker agrees not to transfer any
interest in their respective Proxy Shares unless the transferee executes and
delivers to Proxy an agreement in form and in substance substantially similar
to this Agreement; provided, however, a purchaser of any Proxy Shares that are
purchased in the market in a Rule 144 transaction or pursuant to a public
offering registered on a Form S-1, Form SB-2, Form S-8 or similar form required
by the Securities Exchange Commission for the public distribution of securities
shall not be subject to this Agreement; and provided further, up to 500,000
Proxy Shares to be transferred to Harry Green and/or Jack Root by Parker shall
not be subject to this Agreement.

         11.      GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION AND VENUE. This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Florida, without regard to rules regarding choice of law. EACH PARTY HERETO
AGREES TO SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE STATE AND/OR
FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA FOR RESOLUTION OF ALL
DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR BY REASON OF THE
INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND HEREBY
WAIVES THE CLAIM OR DEFENSE THEREIN THAT SUCH COURTS CONSTITUTE AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM.
