RE:             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT EXHIBIT B
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        In accordance with your Employment Agreement with SmartGate, L.C.,
specifically Exhibit "B", regarding Compensation after funding of SmartGate L.C.

month for the first six months. After favorable review following the six months,
your salary was to increase to $4000 and annual vacation increased to three(3)
weeks.

Closing, the six month review period is waived and your salary increase will be
effective immediately to $4000 per month and 3 weeks vacation, with limitations
as stated in paragraph 1 and 3 of Exhibit "B".

                                    RECITALS:

        WHEREAS, the Company is in the business of developing, manufacturing and
marketing safety systems for closure devices based upon proprietary technology
licensed to SmartGate, L.C. by Radio Metrix, Inc.

        WHEREAS, Second Party is an owner, consultant or employee of the

        WHEREAS, Second Party acknowledges that the Company's business

        WHEREAS, Second Party acknowledges that the Company's legitimate
business interests include the Confidential Information and the Company's

the Company anywhere in the United States of America; and

        WHEREAS, the Company and Second Party, pursuant to the provisions of
Florida Statute 542.335 and the provisions of this Agreement, wish to enter into
an agreement as embodied herein whereby Second Party will refrain from owning,
managing, or in any manner or capacity working for a business conducting
business activities which are similar to or competitive with those of the
Company as defined herein and from soliciting customers of the Company and
employees of the Company for competitive purposes as defined herein during
Second Party's employment with the Company and during the period of five years
after Second Party's cessation of employment with the Company in the
geographical location of anywhere within the United States of America.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective
covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, and for additional
good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is
acknowledged by the parties, including, but not limited to, the Second Party's
employment with the Company and the continuation of the Second Party's
employment with the Company, the parties mutually agree as follows:

        1.      CONFIRMATION OF RECITALS - The foregoing recitals are true and
correct and are hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties and made an
integral part of this Agreement; as such, the recitals shall be used in any

        2.      DEFINITION OF COMPETITION - For purposes of this Agreement
"competition" shall mean the manufacture or sale of safety systems or devices to
prevent strikes, damage, injury or entrapment from the movement of a closure
device. Closure devices include, but not by way of limitation, powered gates,
powered doors, parking gates, swinging gates, sliding gates, automatic doors,
residential and commercial garage doors and elevator doors. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, competition does not include any device, sensor or system that is not
primarily intended to prevent a strike, damage, injury or entrapment from a
moving closure device. Specifically, but not by way of limitation, the term
"competition" does not include proximity sensing, anti-theft sensing, barrier
sensing, perimeter sensing, security sensing, contact avoidance, presence
recognition or other sensing applications whose primary intended purpose is
other than to prevent a strike, damage, injury or entrapment from a moving
closure device, notwithstanding that an incidental or secondary benefit may be
to prevent a strike, damage, injury or entrapment. The term "competition" does
not include any employment or other relationships or activities of Second Party
which are permitted by the Employment Agreement between the Company and Second
Party.

        3.      NON-COMPETE - The Second Party will not do, or intend to do, any
of the following, either directly or indirectly, during Second Party's
employment with the Company and during the period of five (5) years after Second
Party's cessation of employment with the Company, anywhere within in the United
States of America:

                a.      Own, manage, operate, control, consult for, be an
officer or director of, work for, or be employed in any capacity by any company
or any other business, entity, agency or organization which conducts operations
or activities that are in competition, as defined herein, with those of the
Company; or

                b.      Solicit prior or current customers of the Company for
any purpose in competition (as defined herein) with the Company; or

                c.      Solicit any then current employees employed by the
Company without the Company's consent.

                        The Second Party and Company agree that the phrase
"Second Party's cessation of employment with the Company" as used in this
Agreement, refers to any separation of Second Party from his employment at the
Company either voluntarily or involuntarily, either with cause or without cause,
or whether the separation is at the behest of the Company or the Second Party
(hereinafter referred to and defined as "Second Party's Cessation of
Employment"). For purposes of this Agreement and for purposes of determining
activity which is covered by the non-compete provisions of this Agreement,
Second Party's Cessation of Employment shall not include non-voluntary
termination of employment by the Company unless all severance obligations of the
Company are being fully and completely honored and satisfied by the Company. In
the event that the Company involuntarily terminates Second Party's employment
and fails to fully and completely honor and satisfy the severance provisions,
this Covenant Not to Compete shall be non-enforceable even though Second Party
may fully pursue and enforce his rights and entitlement to the severance package
as provided in the Employment Agreement.

                        The Employment Agreement between Second Party and the
Company expressly authorizes and permits Second Party to continue in or enter
into employment and ownership relationships. Such other entities may include
Radio Metrix, Inc., New Freedom, Inc., and other entities which may have or
subsequently have licenses or sublicenses from Radio Metrix,

                                       2

Inc. for applications other than the primary application of preventing a strike,
damage, injury or entrapment from a moving closure device. Entering into and
carrying out such employment and ownership relationships permitted by the
Employment Agreement between the Company and Second Party shall not be deemed to
be a violation of this Covenant Not to Compete. Furthermore, such companies, by
virtue of an employment or ownership relationship with Second Party, shall not
be deemed to have participated in any violation or breach of this Agreement.

                4.      INJUNCTION AND DAMAGES - Second Party agrees that this
Agreement is important, material, confidential, and gravely effects the
effective and successful conduct of the business of the Company, and it effects
its reputation and good will and is necessary to protect the Company's
Legitimate Business Interests. Second Party recognizes and agrees that the
Company will suffer irreparable injury in the event of Second Party's breach of
any covenant or agreement contained herein and cannot be compensated by monetary
damages alone, and Second Party therefore agrees that the Company, in addition
to and without limiting any other remedies or rights that it may have, either
under this Agreement or otherwise, shall have the right to obtain injunctive
relief, both temporary and permanent, against the Second Party from any court of
competent jurisdiction. Second Party further agrees that in the event of Second
Party's breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein, the Company, in
addition to its right to obtain injunctive relief, shall further be entitled to
seek damages, including, but not limited to, compensatory, incidental,
consequential, exemplary, and lost profits damages. Second Party agrees to pay
the Company's reasonable attorney's fees and costs for enforcement of this
Agreement, if the Second Party breaches this Agreement.

                5.      MISCELLANEOUS - Wherever used in this Agreement,
the phrase "directly or indirectly" includes, but is not limited to Second Party
acting through Second Party's wife, children, parents, brothers, sisters, or any
other relatives, friends, trustees, agents, associates or entities with which
Second Party is affiliated with in any capacity. The Company may waive a
provision of this Agreement only in a writing signed by a representative of the
Board of Directors of the Company and specifically stating what is waived. The
rights of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned; however, the
covenants, warranties, and obligations of the Second Party cannot be assigned
without the prior written approval of the Company. The title of this Agreement
and the paragraph headings of this Agreement are not substantive parts of this
Agreement and shall not limit or restrict this Agreement in any way. This
Agreement survives after the Second Party's Cessation of Employment. No change,
addition, deletion, or amendment of this Agreement shall be valid or binding
upon Second Party or the Company unless in writing and signed by Second Party
and the Company. This Agreement is intended to be a valid contract under Section
542.33, Florida Statutes. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction
determines any covenant set forth herein to be too broad to be enforceable or
determines this Agreement to be unreasonable, then said court may reduce the
geographical area and/or the length of time provisions herein, in order to make
this Agreement enforceable and reasonable. This Agreement shall be governed by
Florida law. The parties agree that venue for any action brought under this
Agreement shall be in Sarasota County, Florida. In construing this Agreement,
neither of the parties hereto shall have any term or provision construed against
such party solely by reason of such party having drafted same as each provision
of this Agreement is deemed by the parties to have been jointly drafted by the
Company and Second Party.

                6.      SUPERSEDES PRIOR AGREEMENT - This Covenant Not to

Agreement, whether signed or unsigned, shall be unenforceable. This Agreement

between Second Party and SmartGate, L.C., a Florida limited liability company,
which shall terminate simultaneously with the commencement of this Covenant Not
to Compete.

and that this Agreement encompasses the full and complete agreement between the
parties with respect to the matters set forth herein.
