        be unreasonably withheld), agree to serve on any boards of directors other
        than
        the boards of directors upon which Executive presently serves.

        receive an annual salary, payable in monthly or more frequent installments,
        in

                  during

                Excise
                  Tax Gross-Up. If
                  any payment to Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any other
                  payment
                  or benefit from the Company, any Affiliate, any shareholder of
                  the Company
                  or any other person is determined to be subject to the excise tax
                  imposed
                  by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar tax payable under any
                  United
                  States federal, state, local or other law (the "Excise Tax"), then
                  Executive shall receive a Tax Gross-Up Payment with respect to
                  all such
                  excise taxes and similar taxes. The "Tax Gross-Up Payment" shall
                  mean an
                  amount payable to the Executive such that, after payment of all
                  federal,
                  state and local taxes on such Tax Gross-Up Payment, there remains
                  a
                  balance sufficient to pay the Excise Tax being reimbursed. The
                  Company's
                  outside auditor (the "Auditor") shall determine whether any payment
                  under
                  this Agreement is subject to an Excise Tax and, if so, the amount
                  and
                  timing of the Tax Gross-Up Payment.

                  During
                  the Employment Period and continuing until the six month termination
                  anniversary thereof, Executive shall not, without the prior written
                  authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company, (i) directly
                  or
                  indirectly render services of a business, professional or commercial
                  nature (whether for compensation or otherwise) to any person or
                  entity
                  competitive or adverse to the Company's business welfare, (ii)
                  engage in
                  any activity, whether alone, as a partner, or as an officer, director,
                  employee, consultant, independent contractor, or stockholder in
                  any other
                  corporation, person, or entity which is competitive with or adverse
                  to the
                  Company's business welfare, (iii) hire or solicit for hire any
                  of the
                  Company's employees, prospective employees or consultants (iv)
                  solicit the
                  business of any client of the Company, or any prospective client
                  of the
                  Company that had been serviced or solicited by the Company during
                  the six
                  (6) months preceding Executive's termination, or (v) enter into
                  any
                  agreements with any supplier of the Company regarding the sale
                  or
                  distribution of products of the supplier.

              

      

      

      In
        the
        event that Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by Executive
        or
        the Company at any time, for any reason whatsoever, the Company shall have
        the
        right to inform any of Executive's future employers or prospective employers
        of
        the existence of this Section 7 of the Agreement. This Section 7 shall not,
        however, prevent Executive from investing in securities issued by any such
        competitive or adverse corporation provided the holdings thereof by Executive
        do
        not constitute more than five percent of any one class of such
        securities.

                  Executive shall not disclose or use, or authorize anyone else to
                  disclose
                  or use, at any time, during the Employment Period, any trade secrets

                  Executive
                  shall first secure the Company's prior written authorization. This
                  paragraph shall survive the termination of this Employment Period,
                  whether
                  by lapse of time or otherwise, and shall remain in effect and be
                  enforceable against Executive for six months or if Company trade
                  secrets
                  or confidential information becomes public prior to the time limit.
                  Executive shall execute additional agreements and confirmations
                  of his

                  trade

                  other
                  senior executive employees of the Company under similar circumstances.

                Inventions.
                  Executive
                  hereby assigns to the Company all of his rights, title, and interest
                  in
                  and to all inventions, discoveries, processes, designs, and other
                  intellectual property, including but not limited to trade secrets,
                  copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade names (collectively hereinafter
                  referred to as "Inventions"), and all improvements on existing
                  Inventions
                  made or discovered by Executive during the term of his employment
                  by the
                  Company. Promptly upon the development or making of any such Invention
                  or
                  improvement thereon, Executive shall disclose the same to the Company
                  and
                  shall execute and deliver to it such reasonable documents as it
                  may
                  request to confirm the assignment of Executive's rights therein
                  and, if
                  requested, shall assist the Company in applying for copyright,
                  patent or
                  trademark protection and prosecuting any patents which may be available
                  in
                  respect thereof. The Company acknowledges and hereby notifies Executive
                  that this paragraph 9 does not apply to an Invention for which
                  no
                  equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the
                  Company
                  was used and which was developed entirely on Executive's own time,
                  unless
                  (a) the Invention relates to (i) the business of the Company, or
                  (ii) the
                  Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development,
                  or
                  (b) the Invention results from any work performed by Executive
                  for the
                  Company.

                  Remedies.
                    If, at any
                    time, Executive violates to any material extent any of the covenants
                    or
                    agreements set forth in paragraphs 7, 8 or 9, the Company shall
                    have the
                    right to terminate all of its obligations to make further payments
                    under
                    this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the Company would
                    be
                    irreparably injured by a violation of paragraphs 7, 8 or 9, that
                    damages
                    for such a breach are not easily calculated, and that any remedy
                    at law
                    would be inadequate. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company
                    shall be
                    entitled to an injunction restraining Executive from any actual
                    or
                    threatened breach of paragraphs 7, 8 or 9 or to any other appropriate
                    equitable remedy without any bond or other security being required.
                    

                

        

      

      

      It
        is
        expressly understood between the parties that this injunctive or equitable
        relief shall not be Employer's exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement.
        Without limitation, in the event of any breach by Executive of paragraphs
        7, 8
        or 9 of this Agreement, such Executive shall not be entitled to receive any
        salary payments or any other compensation beyond the date of such breach
        to
        which he would otherwise be entitled, and Executive shall be obligated to
        repay
        to Employer salary payments received by him at any time after the occurrence
        of
        such breach.

                  of, or
                  relating to, this Agreement (other than a controversy arising out
                  of or
                  relating to paragraphs 7, 8 or 9 hereof), which cannot be settled
                  amicably
                  by the parties, such controversy shall be finally settled by arbitration
                  conducted expeditiously in accordance with the American Arbitration
                  Association Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary
                  Procedures
                  for Large, Complex Disputes, by an independent arbitrator. Either
                  the
                  Company or Executive may institute such arbitration proceeding
                  by giving
                  written notice to the other party. A hearing shall be held by the
                  arbitrator in the City of Chicago, Illinois, and a decision of
                  the matter
                  submitted to the arbitrator shall be rendered promptly in accordance
                  with
                  the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The prevailing
                  party
                  shall be entitled to all costs and expenses with respect to such
                  arbitration, including reasonable attorneys' fees. The decision
                  of the
                  arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties hereto.
                  Judgment
                  upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
                  thereof.

                Notwithstanding
                  the foregoing, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company
                  may seek

                  and/or
                  director of the Company or any of its Affiliates, occurring during

                For

                fully and faithfully perform all of his duties and obligations set

    Salary.
      Executive shall
      receive an annual salary, payable in monthly or more frequent installments,
      in
      accordance with the usual payroll practice of the Company, in an amount equal
      to
      $160,000 ( "Salary"), plus $100,000 a year in deferred salary until the company
      can sustain said wages, less income tax withholdings and other normal employee
      deductions. The Salary shall be reviewed annually as of the end of each fiscal
      year commencing January 1, 2007 by the Compensation Committee, and may, at
      the
      sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, be increased by an amount that
      it
      deems appropriate. If the Salary is increased by the Compensation Committee,
      it
      shall not be decreased thereafter during the Employment Period. Any increase
      in
      salary compensation shall cause a corresponding increase in the "deferred
      salary" by the same percentage.  Notwithstanding
      the above provisions, salary shall increase a minimum of 20% above the previous
      year during the term of this employment agreement.

              Bonus.
                Executive shall
                receive a yearly bonus payment in accordance with the Executive Bonus
                program which shall be established by the company compensation committee.

                day,
                Monday to Friday. It is understood, however, that hours may vary
                in order
                to comply with Company's commitment to the highest standard of
                professional performance. Executive’s salary represents payment for all
                those hours so worked. The
                above example serves as a guideline only. Executive shall not be
                in
                default under this agreement if he fails to maintain a minimum
                effort of  40 hours per week or 8 hours per
                working day toward the company’s goals, it being understood by
                the company that Executive is being compensated as an Executive first
                and
                foremost and is not being compensated as an hourly employee and is
                not an hourly employee.

                during

                the
                essential functions of his employment position with the Company,
                the

                duties on

                such termination is without Cause) given by the Company to Executive.
                Company will pay executive thirty six months or remainder of employment

                Company, Executive notifies the Company that a dispute exists concerning

                was
                entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination),
                in

                event
                that (i) the Company shall hereafter terminate the applicable Plan,
                or
                (ii) the participation of the Benefit Participants in such Plan is
                prohibited by law or, if applicable, would disqualify such Plan as
                a tax
                qualified plan pursuant to the Code, or (iii) the participation of
                the
                Benefit Participants violates the general terms and provisions of
                such
                applicable Plan. In the event that any of the Benefit Participants'
                participation in such Plans is prohibited by law or, if applicable,
                would
                disqualify the Plan as a tax qualified plan, or the participation
                of the
                Benefit Participants violates the general terms and provisions of
                such
                applicable Plan, the Company shall permit the Benefit Participants
                to
                acquire substantially comparable coverage or benefits, at the Company's
                expense, from a source of Executive's or his spouse's choosing, provided
                however, that if provision of such coverage or benefit would result
                in a
                cost of excess of 130% of the cost to the Company if provided under
                a
                Company Plan, the Company may satisfy its obligations under this
                paragraph
                6(d) by contributing to the Benefit Participants 130% of the cost
                to the
                Company under the Company Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
                no
                event will the Benefit Participants receive from the Company the
                coverage
                and benefits contemplated by this paragraph 6(d) if the Benefit
                Participants receive such coverage and benefits from any other
                source.

                excise taxes and similar taxes. The "Tax Gross-Up Payment" shall
                mean an
                amount payable to the Executive such that, after payment of all federal,
                state and local taxes on such Tax Gross-Up Payment, there remains
                a
                balance sufficient to pay the Excise Tax being reimbursed. The Company's
                outside auditor (the "Auditor") shall determine whether any payment
                under
                this Agreement is subject to an Excise Tax and, if so, the amount
                and

                public,
                (iii) information which must be disclosed as a result of a subpoena
                or
                other legal process, provided that the Company is given reasonable
                notice
                and an opportunity to obtain a protective order, or (iv) unless Executive
                shall first secure the Company's prior written authorization. This
                paragraph shall survive the termination of this Employment Period,
                whether
                by lapse of time or otherwise, and shall remain in effect and be
                enforceable against Executive for six months or if Company trade
                secrets
                or confidential information becomes public prior to the time limit.
                Executive shall execute additional agreements and confirmations of
                his
                obligations to the Company concerning such non-disclosure of Company
                trade
                secrets and other confidential information as the Company may require
                from
                time to time, provided that the execution of such additional agreements
                and confirmations are (i) reasonable and (ii) are required of all
                other
                senior executive employees of the Company under similar
                circumstances.

                event of termination due to Executive's death, his surviving spouse
                or

                Company all materials of a secret or confidential nature relating
                to the

              Inventions.
                Executive
                hereby assigns to the Company all of his rights, title, and interest
                in
                and to all inventions, discoveries, processes, designs, and other
                intellectual property, including but not limited to trade secrets,
                copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade names (collectively hereinafter
                referred to as "Inventions"), and all improvements on existing Inventions
                made or discovered by Executive during the term of his employment
                by the
                Company. Promptly upon the development or making of any such Invention
                or
                improvement thereon, Executive shall disclose the same to the Company
                and
                shall execute and deliver to it such reasonable documents as it may
                request to confirm the assignment of Executive's rights therein and,
                if
                requested, shall assist the Company in applying for copyright, patent
                or
                trademark protection and prosecuting any patents which may be available
                in
                respect thereof. The Company acknowledges and hereby notifies Executive
                that this paragraph 9 does not apply to an Invention for which no
                equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the
                Company
                was used and which was developed entirely on Executive's own time,
                unless
                (a) the Invention relates to (i) the business of the Company, or
                (ii) the
                Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development,
                or
                (b) the Invention results from any work performed by Executive for
                the
                Company.

              10.

            	
              Remedies.
                If, at any
                time, Executive violates to any material extent any of the covenants
                or
                agreements set forth in paragraphs 7, 8 or 9, the Company shall have
                the
                right to terminate all of its obligations to make further payments
                under
                this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the Company would be
                irreparably injured by a violation of paragraphs 7, 8 or 9, that
                damages
                for such a breach are not easily calculated, and that any remedy
                at law
                would be inadequate. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company
                shall be
                entitled to an injunction restraining Executive from any actual or
                threatened breach of paragraphs 7, 8 or 9 or to any other appropriate
                equitable remedy without any bond or other security being required.
                It is
                expressly understood between the parties that this injunctive or
                equitable
                relief shall not be Employer's exclusive remedy for breach of this
                Agreement. Without limitation, in the event of any breach by Executive
                of
                paragraphs 7, 8 or 9 of this Agreement, such Executive shall not
                be
                entitled to receive any salary payments or any other compensation
                beyond
                the date of such breach to which he would otherwise be entitled,
                and
                Executive shall be obligated to repay to Employer salary payments
                received
                by him at any time after the occurrence of such
                breach.

                hereto
                arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement (other than a controversy
                arising out of or relating to paragraphs 7, 8 or 9 hereof), which
                cannot
                be settled amicably by the parties, such controversy shall be finally
                settled by arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with
                the
                American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules and
                the
                Supplementary Procedures for Large, Complex Disputes, by an independent
                arbitrator. Either the Company or Executive may institute such arbitration
                proceeding by giving written notice to the other party. A hearing
                shall be
                held by the arbitrator in the City of Chicago, Illinois, and a decision
                of
                the matter submitted to the arbitrator shall be rendered promptly
                in
                accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
                The
                prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs and expenses with
                respect
                to such arbitration, including reasonable attorneys' fees. The decision
                of
                the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties hereto.
                Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having
                jurisdiction thereof.

              Notwithstanding
                the foregoing, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company
                may seek
                in a court of competent jurisdiction an injunction prohibiting Executive's
                breach or alleged breach of paragraphs 7, 8 and
                9.

              Legal
                Fees. Should any
                litigation or arbitration be commenced concerning any provision of
                this
                Agreement or Executive's employment or termination of employment,
                the
                prevailing party shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief
                as
                may be granted, to its attorneys' fees and costs incurred by reason
                of
                such litigation or arbitration.

              Executive's
                Representations and

              Executive
                has no actual or potential conflict of interest performing Executive's
                obligations and duties hereunder, will avoid any such conflict during
                the
                Employment Period and will immediately report any such conflict to
                the
                Company;

              the
                execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by Executive
                will

                or
                duty by which Executive is bound;

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
              c.

            	
              this
                Agreement is duly executed and is valid and binding on Executive

              Proof
                of right to work.
                For purposes of federal immigration law, you may be required to provide
                the company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility
                for
                employment in the United States. Such documentation must be provided
                to us
                within three (3) business days of your date of hire, or our employment
                relationship with you may be

              Indemnification
                and
                Insurance.  The Company shall indemnify Executive with
                respect to matters relating to Executive's services as an officer
                and/or
                director of the Company or any of its Affiliates, occurring during
                the
                course and scope of Executive's employment with the Company, to the
                extent
                and pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Company's By-laws,
                and in
                accordance with the terms and procedures of any other indemnification
                which is generally applicable to executive officers of the Company
                and
                that may be provided by the Company from time to time.  The
                foregoing indemnity is contractual and will survive any adverse amendment
                to or repeal of the By-laws.  The Company will also cover
                Executive under a policy of officers' and directors' liability insurance
                providing coverage that is comparable to that provided now or hereafter
                to
                any other executive officer or director of the Company.  The
                provisions of this Section 14 will survive the termination of this
                Agreement for any reason.

              Non-assignment.
                The
                interests of Executive under this Agreement are not subject to the
                claims
                of his creditors and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned,
                alienated or encumbered. Company may assign its rights, duties or
                obligations under this Agreement to any person with whom it has merged
                or
                consolidated, or to whom it has transferred all, or substantially
                all, of
                its assets.

              Severability.
                If any
                provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, either
                in
                its entirety or by virtue of its scope or application to given
                circumstances, such provision shall thereupon be deemed (i) modified
                only
                to the extent necessary to render such provision valid, or (ii) not
                applicable to given circumstances, or (iii) excised from this Agreement,
                as the situation may require, and this Agreement shall be construed
                and
                enforced as if such provision had been included herein as so modified
                in
                scope or application, or had not been included herein, as the case
                may be.
                Should this Agreement, or any one of more of the provisions hereof,
                be
                held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable within any governmental
                jurisdiction or subdivision thereof, the Agreement or any such provision
                or provisions shall not as a consequence thereof be deemed to be
                invalid,
                illegal or unenforceable in any other governmental jurisdiction or
                subdivision thereof.

                parties
                and their permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement,
                express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon

                person, other than the parties and their respective successors and
                assigns
