	 	4.2	The

      as determined by the Board depending upon the strategic goals and objectives

      in 2004 and subsequent years, however the detailed targets and incentives
      will be set by the board to reflect company objectives, resources and opportunities
      at that time.

 

 

	 	 	 The bonus
      plan for year 2003 will be as follows:
	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Revenue	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	< $30 million	 	no bonus payable
	 	 	= $30 million	 	10% of base salary
	 	 	> $30 million	 	each $1 million of revenue earns
      an additional

      bonus of 1% of base salary

      (Therefore, revenue or $60 million will give a 

      bonus of 40 % of base salary)
	 	 	 	 	No upper limit on revenue bonus.

  EBITDA

If the company breaks even on an EBITDA basis, a bonus of 10% of base salary will be paid.

  Net Profit

If the company makes a net profit, a bonus of 10% of base
salary will be paid.

3

Cash

If nett cash, defined as cash and cash equivalents nett of borrowings under lines of credit minus debt, is at least $15 million at 31 December 2003, a bonus of 10% of base salary will be paid.

In 2003 base salary, for the purpose of calculating bonus payable, will be determined as total annual base salary if the Employee commences employment on or before 1 April 2003. However, if the Employee commences employment after 1 April 2003, base salary will be determined by the Employee’s total base salary earnings in 2003. For example, this means that if the Employee is employed for eight months in 2003 then base salary will be calculated as eight twelfths of the Employee’s basic annual salary.

From 2004 onwards, base salary will be determined as total annual base salary.

If either the Employer or the Employee gives the other party notice of termination of employment only that bonus achieved at the time of giving notice will be payable.

Stock Options

The Employee will be made an initial grant of 200,000 stock options. The stock options will vest in four equal instalments (25% per year) commencing one year after the date of grant.

The Board on an annual basis based upon performance will grant subsequent grants of stock
options.

	 	4.3	The salary payable
      under 4.1 above shall be reviewed by the Company annually on the anniversary
      of date of joining in each year. Such remuneration shall be inclusive of
      any remuneration to which the Employee shall be entitled as Director of
      the Company or any of its subsidiaries or associated companies.
	 	 	 
	5.	REIMBURSEMENT
      OF EXPENSES:

  The Company shall reimburse the
    Employee all travel, hotel and any other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably
    and properly incurred by him exclusively in connection with the performance
    of his duties hereunder. As you will be required to liaise directly with overseas
    subsidiaries the company will pay all reasonable home telephone expenses.

4

 

	6.	PROVISION OF
      A MOTOR CAR:	 

To assist the Employee to carry out his duties hereunder the Company will provide, license and insure a suitable four or five door motor car for the Employee during the currency of his Agreement, costing the Company a lease cost of no more than £1000 per month, based on a four year, 100,000 mile lease agreement. The company shall pay all running expenses, maintenance and outgoings insofar as the Employee in the performance of his duties reasonably incurs them.  This car will at all times remain the property of the company.  The Employee shall be entitled to use the car reasonably for his private purpose without payment and the Company will bear the cost of fuel for such
use.

Alternatively, the Employee may choose to have a car allowance of £1000 per month instead of a company car. If the employee chooses this option he should drive a four or five door car suitable for carrying out his duties. In this case insurance, running expenses and maintenance will be the responsibility of the Employee.
The company will bear the cost of all business and reasonable private
fuel.

	7.	FRENCH SOCIAL
