3.   ALLOCATION OF TIME AND ENERGIES. The Consultant hereby promises to perform
     and discharge well and faithfully the responsibilities which may be
     assigned to the Consultant from time to time by the officers and duly
     authorized representatives of the Company in connection with the conduct of
     its financial and investor public relations and communications activities,
     so long as such activities are in compliance with applicable securities
     laws and regulations. Consultant will diligently and thoroughly provide the
     consulting services required hereunder. Although no specific hours-per-day
     requirement will be required, Consultant and the Company agree that
     Consultant will perform the duties set forth hereinabove in a diligent and
     professional manner. The parties acknowledge and agree that a
     disproportionately large amount of the effort to be extended and the costs
     to be incurred by the Consultant and the benefits to be received by the
     Company are to be expected to occur upon and shortly after, and in any
     event, within two months of the effectiveness of this Agreement. It is
     explicitly understood that Consultants performance of its duties hereunder
     will in no way be measured by the price of the Company's common stock, nor
     the trading volume of the Company's common stock.

4. REMUNERATION As full and complete compensation for services described in the
Agreement the Company shall compensate the Consultant as follows:

4.1 For undertaking this engagement and for other good and valuable
consideration, the Company agrees to issue and deliver to the Consultant a
"Commencement Bonus" payable in the form of 300,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock ("Common Stock"). This Commencement Bonus shall be issued to the
Consultant immediately following execution of this Agreement and shall, when
issued to the Consultant be fully paid and non-assessable. The Company
understands and agrees that Consultant has forgone significant opportunities to
accept this engagement and the Company derives substantial benefit from the
execution of this Agreement and the ability to maintain its relationship with
Consultant. The 300,000 shares of Common Stock issued as a Commencement Bonus,
therefore, constitute payment for Consultant's agreement to consult to the
Company and are a nonrefundable, non-apportionable and non-ratable retainer;
such Shares are not a prepayment for future services. If the Company decides to
terminate this Agreement prior to February 13, 2002 for any reason whatsoever,
it is agreed and understood that Consultant will not be requested or demanded by
the Company to return any of the Shares paid to it hereunder. All Shares of the
Common Stock issued pursuant to

                                       2
<Page>

this Agreement shall be issued in the name of Salzwedel Financial
Communications, Inc. The Company agrees that it will include all shares issuable
to Consultant hereunder in the Company's next Registration Statement with the
SEC on Form S-i and will use its best efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible thereafter.
Salzwedel Financial Communications, Inc. agrees that it will not sell or
transfer during the term of this Agreement any of the 300,000 shares of
Company's stock issued to it hereunder. Additionally the Company agrees to pay
Consultant the sum of $6,000.00 cash per month due and payable on fourteenth day
of each month on this Agreement.

4.2 Consultant acknowledges that the shares of Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to this agreement (collectively, the "Shares") have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 and accordingly are "restricted securities"
within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act. As such, the shares may not be resold
or transferred unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company that such a resale or transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of that Act.

5. FINANCING "FINDERS FEE". It is understood in the event Consultant introduces
Company to a lender or equity purchaser, not already having a preexisting
relationship with the Company, with who Company, or its nominees, ultimately
finances or causes the completion of such financing, Company agrees to
compensate Consultant for such services with a "finders fee" in the amount of
2.5% of total gross funding provided by such lender or equity purchaser, such a
fee to be payable in cash. This will be in addition to any fees payable by the
company to any other intermediary, if any, which shall be per separate
agreements negotiated between the Company and such other intermediary. It is
also understood that in the event Consultant introduces Company, or its nominees
to a merger and/or acquisition, candidate, either directly or indirectly through
another intermediary, not already having a preexisting relationship with the
Company, with whom Company, or its nominees, ultimately is acquired with who
Company or its nominees acquires or causes the completion of such acquisition,
Company agrees to compensate Consultant for such services with a "finders fee"
in the amount of 2.5% of total gross consideration provided by such a merger
and/or acquisition, such fee to payable in the same form of consideration
received by the seller/merged company. This will be in addition to any fees
payable by Company to any other intermediary. It is specifically understood that
Consultant is not nor does it hold itself out to be a Broker/Dealer, but rather
merely a "Finder" in reference to the Company procuring financing sources and
acquisition and merger candidates.

     5.1  it is further understood that Company, and not Consultant, is
          responsible to perform any and all due diligence on such lender,
          equity purchaser or acquisition/merger candidate introduced to it by
          Consultant under this Agreement, prior to Company receiving funds or
          closing on any acquisition. However Consultant will not introduce any
          parties to Company about which Consultant has any prior knowledge of
          questionable, unethical or illicit activities.

     5.2  Company agrees that said compensation to Consultant shall be paid in
          full at the time said financing or merger/acquisition is closed.
          Moreover, said compensation, will be a condition precedent to the
          closing of such financing or merger/acquisition and Company shall
          execute any and all documents necessary to effect said compensation.

     5.3  As further consideration to Consultant, Company or its nominees,
          agrees to pay with respect to any financing or acquisition candidate
          provided directly or indirectly to the Company by any lender or equity
          purchaser covered by this Section 5 for a period

                                       3

          from the termination of this Agreement, a fee to Consultant equal to
          that outlined in Section "5" herein.

     5.4  Consultant will notify Company of introductions it makes for potential
          sources of financing or acquisitions in a timely manner (within 3 days
          of introduction). If Company has a preexisting relationship with such
          nominee and believes such party should be excluded from the Agreement,
          then Company will notify Consultant immediately of such circumstances
          via facsimile memo.

6. EXPENSES. Consultant agrees to pay for all its expenses (phone, labor, etc.),
other than extraordinary items (travel and entertainment required by/or
specifically requested by the Company, luncheons or dinners to large groups of

constituents, investor conference calls, print advertisements in publications,
etc.) approved by the Company prior to its incurring an obligation for

                               AMENDMENT TO LEASE

                                    RECITALS

         A. Tenant and Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, the

January 31, 1997 (the "LEASE") for premises consisting of approximately 56,508
rentable square feet, in the building known and numbered as 290 Donald Lynch

interest in the Lease. A true, correct and complete copy of the Lease is
attached hereto as Exhibit G-N.

         B. Landlord and Tenant desire to extend the term of the Lease for the
Existing Premises until the commencement of the term of the Lease as to the New

by Landlord, such extension being on the terms and conditions set forth in the
Lease as amended by Part A of this Amendment.

         C. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to allow for Tenant's
occupancy of 45,534 rentable square feet of space in the building known and
numbered as 450 Donald Lynch Boulevard, Marlborough, Massachusetts (the "New
Premises") upon the revised terms set forth in Part B of this Amendment.

         D. Tenant and Landlord have agreed to amend the Lease as set forth
herein.

                                    AMENDMENT

         For good and valuable consideration received by them, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree that the
Lease is amended as follows:

                                     PART A

         1. The Term of the Lease as it pertains to the Existing Premises, which
currently expires March 31, 2002, is hereby extended to expire upon the Term
Commencement Date for the New Premises as set forth in Part B of this Amendment

and conditions as set forth in the Lease without giving effect to the terms and
provisions set forth in Part B of this Amendment, except that the Base Rent
payable for the Existing Premises for the month of May 2002 shall be payable at
the rental rate for the New Premises (calculated with Tenant's existing square

<PAGE>

                                      -2-

footage at the Existing Premises). Tenant shall continue to pay, as additional
rent, for the month of May 2002, Tenant's Share of Premises Expenses as set
forth in the Lease, without giving effect to the amendments contained in Part B.
The existing letter of credit which secures Tenant's obligations under the Lease
shall be extended to provide for an expiration date which is no earlier than the
Extended Lease Termination Date.

         If the Term Commencement Date for the New Premises has not occurred by
June 1, 2002, the Base Rent for the Existing Premises for June 2002 shall be at
the rental rate applicable to the New Premises (calculated with Tenant's
existing square footage at the Existing Premises). Tenant shall continue to pay,
as additional rent, for the month of June 2002, Tenant's Share of Premises
Expenses as set forth in the Lease, without giving effect to the amendments
contained in Part B.

July 1, 2002, the Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Existing Premises for July
2002 and each month thereafter until the occurrence of the Term Commencement
Date for the New Premises based upon the rental rate for the New Premises
(calculated with Tenant's square footage at the New Premises). During such
period, Tenant shall pay the Additional Charges as set forth in Part B which
pertain to the New Premises. However, during such period, Tenant will remain
responsible for electricity charges for the Existing Premises as set forth in
section 4.4 of the Lease prior to the amendments set forth in Part B.

         If Tenant terminates this Lease as to the New Premises as provided in
Section 7 of Part B, the Extended Lease Termination Date shall be extended in
accordance with said Section 7, and the Base Rent for the Existing Premises from
the giving of the Termination Notice until the Termination Date shall be at the
rental rate applicable to the New Premises (calculated with Tenant's square
footage at the New Premises). During such period, Tenant shall pay the
Additional Charges as set forth in Part B which pertain to the New Premises.
However, during such period, Tenant will remain responsible for electricity
charges for the Existing Premises as set forth in section 4.4 of the Lease prior
to the amendments set forth in Part B.

         2. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Option to Extend for an
additional period of five (5) years set forth in Section 2.3 of the Lease has
not been exercised as to the Existing Premises and is no longer of any force or
effect.

         3. Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to remove on or before the termination of the term of the Lease as
to the Existing Premises any of the alterations, additions, improvements or
installations made by Tenant to the Existing Premises, including, without
limitation those described on Exhibit C, provided that Tenant shall repair any
damage caused by such removal. A preliminary list of the items to be removed is

remain in place until the Extended Lease Termination Date.

         5. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Lease as modified by Part
A hereof remains in full force and effect as to the Existing Premises.

                                     PART B

         For good and valuable consideration received by them, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged (i) Landlord hereby leases to

                  4.1  RENT.

                  (a) Beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord as annual minimum rent for the Premises the sum specified in Section
1.1 as "Annual Base Rent". Annual Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly
installments on or before the first day of the Term and on or before the first
day of each and every calendar month thereafter during the Term. In the event
the Term commences or ends on a day other than the first or last day,
respectively, of a calendar month, then the monthly portion of the Annual Base
Rent for such fractional month shall be prorated on a daily basis based upon a
thirty (30) day calendar month. Annual Base Rent shall be paid to Landlord,
without any prior demand and without any deduction or offset whatsoever, in
lawful money of the United States of America at the address for payment of rent
specified in Section 1.1, or to such other person or at such other place as
Landlord may from time to time designate by notice to Tenant.

                  (b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional charges all
fees, costs, expenses, charges, and other amounts required to be paid by Tenant
under this Lease other than Annual Base Rent ("Additional Charges"). Additional
Charges shall be payable to Landlord at the place where the Annual Base Rent is
payable.

<PAGE>

                                      -7-

Landlord shall have the same remedies for a default in the payment of
Additional Charges as for a default in the payment of Annual Base Rent. The
terms "Annual Base Rent" and "Additional Charges" are sometimes collectively
referred to herein as "Rent."

                  (c) Without limiting any of Landlord's other rights and
remedies under this Lease, if any payment of Rent or any other payment payable
under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord shall not be paid within ten (10) days
following the due date thereof, such Rent or other payment shall bear interest
from the date when the Rent or other payment, as may be the case, was payable
until the date paid at an annual rate equal to (a) the commercial prime rate as
announced by Fleet National Bank from time to time plus four percent (4%), but
not more than (b) the highest lawful rate of interest which Landlord may charge
Tenant without violating any applicable law. Such interest shall constitute
Additional Charges hereunder.

                  (d) Tenant agrees that acceptance by Landlord of any partial
payment of any item of rental due under this Lease (whether denominated as Base
Rent, Additional Charges or otherwise) shall not constitute an accord and
satisfaction by Landlord of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and
that Landlord shall be entitled to collect from Tenant the balance of any such
item of Rent remaining due.

                  (e) Tenant agrees that this Lease is a net lease and the
Annual Base Rent, Additional Charges, Taxes, Expenses and all other sums payable
under this Lease to Landlord shall be paid without notice or demand, and without
setoff, abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction or deduction, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein.

         4.2  TENANT'S SHARE OF COSTS.

                  (a) During the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
Additional Charges Tenant's Share of all Taxes and Expenses.

                  (b) During the last month of each Expense Computation Year and
each Tax Computation Year, as the case may be, or as soon thereafter as
practicable, Landlord shall give to Tenant notice of Landlord's estimate of the
amounts payable by Tenant under Section 4.2(a) for the following Expense
Computation Year or Tax Computation Year, as the case may be. On or before the
first day of each month during the following Expense Computation or Tax
Computation Year, as the case may be, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth
(1/12th) of such estimated amounts; provided, however, that if Landlord fails to
give such notice in the last month of the prior Expense Computation Year or Tax
Computation Year, as the case may be, then Tenant shall continue to pay on the
basis of the prior year's estimate until the first day of the calendar month
next succeeding the date such notice is given by Landlord. If at any time or
times Landlord determines that the amounts payable under Section 4.2(a) for the
current Expense or Tax Computation Year, or both, will vary from its estimate
given to Tenant, Landlord, by notice to Tenant, may revise its estimate for such
Expense or Tax Computation Year, or both, and subsequent payments by Tenant for
such Expense Computation Year, or both, shall be based upon such revised
estimate.

                                      -8-

                  (c) Following the end of each Expense Computation Year or Tax
Computation Year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of amounts
payable under Section 4.2(a) for such Expense Computation Year and Tax
Computation Year, accompanied by ledgers and/or copies of paid invoices should
Tenant specifically request these items from Landlord. If such statement shows
an amount owing by Tenant that is less than the payments for such Expense
Computation Year or Tax Computation Year, or both, previously made by Tenant,
and if no Event of Default (as defined below) is outstanding at the time such
statement is delivered, Landlord shall credit such amount to the next payments
of Rent falling due under this Lease, or with respect to the final Expense
Computation Year or Tax Computation Year of the Term, as the case may be, refund
such amount to Tenant. If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is
more than the estimated payments for such Expense Computation Year or Tax
Computation Year, or both, previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the
deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of such statement.
The respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Section 4.2(c)
shall survive the Expiration Date, and, if the Expiration Date is a day other
than the last day of a Expense or Tax Computation Year, or both, the adjustment
in Rent pursuant to this Section 7 for the Expense Computation Year or Tax
Computation Year, or both, in which the Expiration Date occurs shall be prorated
in the proportion that the number of days in such Expense Computation Year
and/or Tax Computation Year preceding the Expiration Date bears to 365.

                  (d) As used in this Lease, the following terms shall have the
meanings specified:

                          (i) "Expenses" shall mean (1) all costs of management,
operation, maintenance and repair of the Building and Common Areas, including,
without limitation, janitorial, maintenance, maintenance and repair of the roof,
security guard(s) and other service contracts; costs of supplying, replacing and

fees; depreciation on personal property; wages, salaries, employee benefits and

maintenance of the Building; fees, charges and other costs, including, without
limitation, management fees (not to exceed 5% of the aggregate fixed rent for
the Building), consulting fees, legal fees and accounting fees, of all
independent contractors engaged by Landlord or reasonably charged by Landlord if
Landlord performs any such services in connection with the Building; and (2) the
cost of any capital improvements made to the Building after its construction

as a result of

<PAGE>

                                      -9-

governmental orders, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations that were
inapplicable to the Building at the time permits for its construction were
obtained, such cost to be amortized over the useful life of such item in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, together with interest
on the unamortized balance at a rate equal to the prime commercial rate in
effect from time to time at Fleet National Bank in Boston, Massachusetts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Expenses shall not include Taxes, depreciation on
the Building, any cost or expense to the extent otherwise included in management
fees, costs of installing capital improvements (except as provided in clause (2)
above), real estate brokers' commissions and legal fees in connection with
leasing space in the Building, executive salaries (exclusive of salaries, wages
or fees paid for management activities), tenant installation costs and capital

                  Landlord agrees to keep books and records with respect to the
Expenses. Tenant, or its certified public accountant, shall have the right upon
advance written notice to Landlord to inspect those portions of the books of
Landlord relating to the Expenses at the offices of Landlord's Managing Agent
during business hours for the purpose of verifying information set forth in
Landlord's statements. In the event that, as a result of Tenant's inspection, it
is determined that Landlord's statement overstated the Expenses for any fiscal
year by more than ten percent (10%) of the actual amount of such costs, Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable costs incurred in conjunction with
such inspection.

                          (ii) "Taxes" shall mean all taxes, assessments and
charges levied upon or with respect to the Building, any personal property of
Landlord used in the operation of the Building or Landlord's interest in the
Building or such personal property. Taxes shall include, without limitation, all
general real property taxes and general and special assessments, transit
charges, service payments in lieu of taxes and any tax, fee or excise on the act
of entering into this Lease or any other lease of space in the Building, on the
use or occupancy of all or any part of the Building, on the rent payable under
this Lease or any other lease of space in the Building or on or in connection
with the business of renting space in the Building, that are now or hereafter
levied or assessed against Landlord by the United States of America, the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or any political subdivision, public corporation,
district or other political or public entity, and shall also include any other
tax, fee or other excise, however described, that may be levied or assessed as a
substitute for, or as an addition to, in whole or in part, any other Taxes,
whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties. Taxes
shall not include franchise, transfer or inheritance taxes, or income taxes,
unless, due to a change in the method of taxation, any of these taxes are levied
or assessed against Landlord as a substitute for, in whole or in part, any other
tax that would otherwise constitute a Tax. Taxes shall also include reasonable
legal and tax consultants' fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection
with proceedings to contest, determine or reduce Taxes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any future taxes on rent received by Landlord, shall only be included
as "Taxes" if assessed in substitution for real estate taxes.

                          (iii) "Tenant's Share" shall mean the percentage
figure so specified in Section 1.1, which is calculated by dividing the Rentable
Area of Premises by the Rentable Area of the Building.

                          (iv) "Expense Computation Year" shall mean each twelve

         4.3  SERVICES

         (a) Tenant covenants and agrees that its use of electric current at the
Premises will not exceed the maximum load from time to time permitted by
applicable governmental regulations. In the event that Tenant's use of
electricity or water at the Premises, as reasonably determined by an engineer,
is excessive, compared to use by other tenants in the Building, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord the excess cost of water or electric current charges used by Tenant
over the Tenant's Share thereof as determined by the engineer. Said additional
charges shall be paid outside of the charges for normal use paid by Tenant as
Additional Charges under Section 4.2.

         (b) In the event Tenant introduces into the Premises personnel or
equipment which overloads the capacity of the Building's electrical system or in
any other way interferes with the system's ability to perform adequately its
proper functions, supplementary systems may, if and as needed, at Landlord's
option, be provided by Landlord, at Tenant's expense. Landlord shall not in any
way be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which
Tenant may sustain or incur if, during the Term of this Lease, either the

longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements due to a factor or cause
beyond Landlord's control.

conditioning at the Premises and shall pay Tenant's Share for said heating and

                  Upon the delivery of the New Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall
provide to Landlord an irrevocable and unconditional standby documentary letter
of credit in the amount of the Security Deposit issued by a bank or other
institution satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion, naming Landlord,
its successors and assigns as the beneficiary, expiring no less than one (1)
year from the Term Commencement Date and renewing automatically each year (or at

presently secures Tenant's obligations under the Lease as to the Existing
Premises, which Letter of Credit shall secure the obligations of Tenant under
the Lease as to both the Existing Premises and the New Premises and which letter
of credit shall be extended as appropriate so that the expiration date of the
