Re: $2,700,000 Standby Financing
  Commitment

Dear Mr. Mee: 

Clarus Capital Corp., a Hong Kong company and James P. King,
(collectively, “we”, or “our”), understand that Fortified Holdings Corp., a
Nevada corporation (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Fortified Data Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation, intends to acquire
all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Z5 Technologies LLC, a
Connecticut limited liability company, from Thomas Keenan Ventures, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“TK Ventures”), pursuant to the terms of a
certain agreement and plan of merger, dated May 31, 2007, as amended (together,
the “Merger Agreement”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the definition ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. 

You have advised us that as a condition to the closing of the
transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), the Company
must first consummate or enter into an agreement to consummate, subject only to
the Closing of the Merger, a financing transaction in an aggregate principal
amount of no less than Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,700,000)
funded on or after August 31, 2007. 

In connection with the forgoing, we, intending to be legally
bound, hereby jointly and severally irrevocably commit to provide the Company
with up to an aggregate principal amount of Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($2,700,000) (the “Commitment Funds”) upon the terms and subject to the
conditions as set forth in this commitment letter (this “Commitment Letter”).
Our commitment with respect to those amounts set forth in the schedule of
availability annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Availability Schedule”) that are
to be made available on or after the Closing Date is based upon and subject to
the Closing of the Merger on or before September 12, 2007, after which date we
may terminate this Commitment Letter in accordance with the immediately
following paragraph, subject to the limitations set forth therein. If (i) the
Closing has not occurred on or before September 12, 2007 but occurs subsequent
to that date and (ii) we have not terminated this Commitment Letter prior to the
Closing in accordance with the immediately following paragraph, we will, upon
the Company’s request, make all interim payments provided for in the
Availability Schedule and not made through such Closing Date on or within two
Business Days of the Closing Date, subject to any offset as provided for in
Section 3 hereof. 

If the Closing has not occurred on or before September 12,
2007, then at any time on or after September 13, 2007 and before the time that
the Closing does in fact occur, we may terminate this Commitment Letter by
written notice to the Company; provided that we may not so terminate this
Commitment Letter if all conditions to the Closing of the Merger were met on or
before September 12, 2007 excepting those conditions that have not been met as a
result of the continued pendancy of that certain litigation against the Company
(and others) by Aegis Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation and others and
currently pending in the State of Nevada, County of Washoe, in which case the
Commitment Letter shall terminate only in the event that the Merger Agreement is
terminated by the parties to such agreement. 

          1     .
Availability of Funds. The Commitment Funds may be drawn upon by
the Company, in its sole discretion, in one or more tranches in accordance with
the Availability Schedule. Upon requests given from time to time by the Company
in writing (including electronic communications) requesting funds in amounts and
as of dates no greater than the amounts and no earlier than the dates set forth
in Availability Schedule, we will advance such funds to the Company by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, in each case on or before the later of
(a) the applicable Date of Availability as set forth in the Availability
Schedule, or (b) the second Business Day following the applicable funding
request. Except as provided in Section 2 hereof, any Commitment Funds drawn upon
by the Company shall be evidenced by an unsecured convertible promissory note (a
“Note”) substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B. 

          2.      Subsequent
Financings. At such time as the Company consummates one or more
subsequent private financing transactions (a “Subsequent Financing”) wherein it
raises a minimum aggregate amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000)
through the sale and issuance of its equity or equity-linked securities, any and
all additional Commitment Funds drawn upon by the Company pursuant to the terms
of this Commitment Letter shall be invested in the Company on terms
substantially identical to the terms of such Subsequent Financing in lieu of the
Company’s issuance of a Note. 

          3.      Offset
of Funds. The aggregate principal amount of the Commitment Funds
available to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Commitment Letter shall
be offset by the gross amount funded to the Company through any Subsequent
Financing on a dollar-for-dollar basis, with such Subsequent Financing proceeds
being applied against the next scheduled Commitment Funds available to be drawn
in accordance with the terms of the Availability Schedule. By way of example, if
as of September 22, 2007 the Company has raised $900,000 in a Subsequent
Financing and we have funded $850,000 to the Company pursuant to the terms of
this Commitment Letter, then we would not be obligated to provide any additional
Commitment Funds to the Company until October 26, 2007; provided,
further, that the Company has not raised any additional funds through a
Subsequent Financing. 

          4.      Enforcement
by TK Ventures. The parties agree that TK Ventures is an intended third
party beneficiary of this Commitment Letter, and if the Company shall fail,
within a reasonable time, to enforce its rights under this Commitment Letter
following any failure by us to perform our obligations hereunder, then TK
Ventures shall be entitled to enforce this Commitment Letter in the name of and
on behalf of the Company. 

          5.      Miscellaneous.
This Commitment Letter may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, shall
constitute one and the same agreement. This Commitment Letter may be amended,
and our obligations hereunder may be waived, only by the written agreement of us
and the Company and 

with the written consent of TK Ventures. This Commitment Letter
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Nevada.

market value on the date of grant (or 110% of fair market value if Employer and
Executive mutually agree that such option shall be an “incentive stock option”
qualified as such under the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent such higher
percentage is legally required in order for the option to be so qualified) ,
subject to the terms of the Employer’s 2007 Stock Plan. Such stock options shall
be granted pursuant to a stock option agreement that provides, inter
alia, that (i) all unvested stock options shall automatically vest upon (a)
termination of Executive’s employment by Employer for any reason other than
Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, and (b) any Change in Control, and that
(ii) vested stock options shall not be canceled and shall be exercisable for a
period of 180 days following such termination (“Exercise Period”). If Executive
continues to provide services to Employer as a Director, advisor, consultant or
similar arrangement, the Exercise Period shall extend through such service
period and for 180 days thereafter.

-3- 

          5.     
Reimbursement of Expenses. Employer will reimburse
Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in the
course of his employment pursuant to this Agreement. 

          6.      Termination.

                    6.1      Termination
Events. This Agreement may be terminated upon any of the following: (1) upon
the determination by a unanimous consent of the disinterested members of the
Board of Directors of the Company that Cause exists; (2) Executive’s death; (3)
Executive’s Disability; and (4) by Executive, either for Good Reason or upon not
less than sixty (60) days notice in the absence of Good Reason. 

                    6.2     
Severance. In the event the (i) Executive’s employment is terminated by
Employer other than for Cause, (ii) Executive terminates his employment for Good
Reason, or (iii) Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of Executive’s
Disability, Employer shall (a) pay to Executive an amount equal to two years
base salary plus any other unpaid amounts to which Executive is entitled as of
the date of termination pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, bonus paid or relating to the applicable period
(pro rated for any partial periods) that Executive would have been entitled to
had he been employed by the Employer as of such date (the “Severance
Payment”) ; provided, however, that the payment of the Severance
Payment shall be subject to the execution of a release in substantially the form
of Exhibit A hereto. For the purposes of calculating the Severance
Payment, base salary will be calculated at greater of (x) the rate of base
salary then paid to Executive or his estate as of the date of termination, or
(y) Executive’s base pay prior to any reduction within six months of the date of
termination. The Severance Payment shall be paid by Employer in cash in a lump
sum within ten (10) days following the date of termination. Any bonus portion of
the Severance Payment shall be paid at such time that such amounts are paid to
any other employee of the Employer, notwithstanding that Employee may no longer
be employed by Employer. 

                    6.3      Continuing
Benefits. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment on any of
the bases described in the first sentence of Section 6.2, Employer shall provide
and fund (to the extent specified in the following sentence) Executive’s or his
estate’s continued health and dental coverage under Employer’s group health and
dental plans pursuant to Sections 601 et seq. of ERISA (“COBRA”) for a period of
24 months following termination (or such lesser period as Executive or his
estate maintains coverage under COBRA) (the “COBRA Continuation Benefit”).
During the period which Employee or Employee’s estate is entitled to the COBRA
Continuation Benefit, the cost to Executive or his estate of maintaining
coverage under COBRA shall be the same as the amount paid by employees of
Employer for the same coverage under Employer’s group health plan. 

                    6.4      Termination
for Cause or in the Absence of Good Reason. If Executive’s employment with
the Company is terminated for Cause by Employer or voluntarily by Executive
other than for Good Reason, Death or Disability, then (i) all vesting of any
outstanding Company stock options held by the Executive will terminate
immediately and all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive
hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and
(ii) Executive will only be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with
the Company’s established policies as then in effect. 

          7.      Confidentiality
Agreement. Executive understands and agrees that as an employee
of Employer, Executive will receive or contribute Confidential Information.
Executive agrees that at all times during the period of Executive’s employment
and after the termination thereof for any reason whatsoever, Executive shall
keep secret Confidential Information and that Executive will not use or make
known the same to any person, firm, or corporation without first obtaining the
written consent of Employer. Executive acknowledges that Employer’s Confidential
Information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of Employer and represents a
substantial investment of time and expense by Employer and that any disclosure
or other use 

-4- 

of such knowledge or information other than for the sole
benefit of Employer would be wrongful and would cause irreparable harm to
Employer. 

          8.      Return
of Employer’s Property. All records, designs, patents, business
plans, financial statements, financial records, manuals, memoranda, lists and
other property delivered to or compiled by Executive by or on behalf of Employer
or its representatives, vendors or customers which pertain to the business of
Employer shall be and remain the property of Employer. Likewise, all
correspondence, reports, records, charts, advertising materials and other
similar data pertaining to the business, activities or future plans of Employer
which is collected by Executive shall be delivered promptly to Employer upon
request by it upon termination of Executive’s employment. 

          9.      Disclosure
of Inventions. Executive will promptly disclose to Employer, or any
persons designated by it, all improvements, inventions, creations, processes,
know-how, data and ideas made, conceived, reduced to practice, developed,
originated or learned by Executive, either alone or jointly with others during
the period of Executive’s employment with Employer, and that relate in any
material respect to the businesses in which Employer is then engaged or is then
actively planning to become engaged, or are a logical extension of such
businesses (“Inventions”).

          10.      Assignment
of Inventions. All Inventions are considered works-made-for-hire and
thereby owned by Employer; provided, however, that in the event that, by
operation of law, an Invention cannot be considered a work-made-for-hire,
Executive will assign any and all right, title and interest in and to all
Inventions (and all trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets and other
proprietary rights with respect thereto) to Employer. In connection with such
assignment, Executive will assist Employer or its nominees at any time during or
after Executive’s employment with Employer and in every proper way in both
securing foreign and domestic protection for the Inventions and preventing and
defending infringement of the Inventions. Such assistance includes, without
limitation, (a) the execution of any documentation necessary to evidence
Employer’s full rights in the Inventions; and (b) testimony, at Employer’s
expense, evidencing the ownership of the Inventions by Employer. Executive’s
obligation to assist Employer with respect to proprietary rights relating to
such Inventions in any and all countries will continue beyond the termination of
Executive’s employment, but Employer will compensate Executive at a reasonable
rate after such termination for time actually spent by Executive at Employer’s
request for such assistance. 

          11.      Records
of Inventions. Executive will keep and maintain adequate and
current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form
that may be required by Employer) of all Inventions developed by Executive or
made by Executive during the period of Executive’s employment at Employer, which
records will be available to and remain at all times the sole property of
Employer. 

          12.     
Covenants Not to Compete or Solicit. 

                    12.1     
Covenant. During the period of Executive's employment with Employer, and
thereafter for a period of two years following any termination of Executive’s
employment either (i) by Employer for Cause, or (ii) by Executive without Good
Reason, Executive shall not: 

                                   12.1.1      own,
manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, or be connected in any
manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any business that
(A) is actively engaged, as a material part of its business, in developing or
selling one or more products or services that were competitive with one or more
products or services that constituted a material portion of Employer’s business
at the date of termination of Executive’s employment or that, as of such date,
Employer had developed concrete plans to offer in the future as a material part
of it business; 

-5- 

                                   12.1.2      solicit
business (whether on his own behalf or on behalf of any employer, client or
other person) from any person or entity that was a customer of Employer at any
time during the six months prior to the date of termination, or that Employer
actively solicited to be a customer at any time during that six month period,
which solicited business is of the same nature as the business being conducted
or actively planned by Employer as of the date of termination of his employment;
or 

                                   12.1.3      solicit
(directly or indirectly) or attempt to persuade anyone who at the time is an
employee, independent contractor, consultant or other participant in Employer's
business to terminate such employment or other relationship in order to enter
into any business relationship with Executive, with any business organization in
which Executive is a participant, or with any other business organization that
materially competes with Employer's business. 

                    12.2      Scope;
Interpretation. Executive acknowledges that the market for Employer’s
services and products is, by its nature, without geographical boundaries, and
that the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in this
Agreement are (and it is reasonable for them to be) geographically unlimited.
For purposes of this Section 12, the term “Employer” shall be interpreted to
include each of its subsidiaries.

                    12.3     
Passive Investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may
own interests of less than five percent of the outstanding equity securities of
a company that is engaged in a business otherwise prohibited under subsection
5.1 if the equity securities of such company are registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or publicly traded under similar laws of any other
country.

                    12.4      Consideration.
Employer and Executive acknowledge and agree that Employer's promise to
pay the Severance Payment and COBRA Continuation Benefit to Executive in the
events specified in Section 6 constitute additional and sufficient consideration
for the covenants contained in this Section. 

          13.      Miscellaneous.

                    13.1      Notices.

Executive. Executive agrees, therefore, he cannot assign all or any portion of
his performance under this Agreement, and any attempt by Executive to do so
