          or furnished to third parties outside of the Company without the prior
          consent
          of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph

          POTENTIAL
          CONFLICTS.
          Based
          upon my discussions with the Company and certain third parties whom Executive
          represented or has represented regarding my dual representation, Executive,
          as a
          licensed attorney in the state of Florida, has reasonably concluded that
          the
          representation of third parties that are related to the Company will not
          affect
          Executive’s responsibilities of loyalty to the Company and the third parties.
          However, please be aware that in the event that there is a dispute between
          the
          third party and the Company that relates directly or indirectly to the
          Company,
          the Company agrees that the Executive will be unable to represent either
          party
          regarding such dispute.

      

    

    

    This
      letter is intended to comply with the Florida Bar Rules (Rule 4-1.7, among
      others). If the Company has any questions regarding the foregoing, please do
      not
      hesitate in contacting the Executive immediately.

          SPECIFIC
          PERFORMANCE.
          The
          parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the executive and managerial
          services
          to be rendered by Executive hereunder are of such a special, unique and
          extraordinary character that it gives them a peculiar value impossible
          to
          replace and for the loss of which the Company cannot be reasonably or adequately
          compensated in damages, and Executive acknowledges and agrees that a breach
          by
          him of the provisions of Sections 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement hereof will
          cause
          the Company irreparable injury and damage. Executive, therefore, expressly
          agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive and/or other equitable
          relief to prevent a breach of Sections 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement and
          to secure
          their enfor-cement. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by the
          Company
          of any right it may now have or hereafter acquire to monetary damages by
          reason
          of any injury to its property, busi-ness or reputation arising out of any
          wrongful act or omission of Executive.

          prior negotiations of the parties or any party relating to the subject
          matter
          hereof, have been merged in and are superseded by this instrument, and
          contain
          the entire Agreement of the parties, and there are no promises, agreements,
          understandings, representations, warran-ties or conditions of any nature
          not set
          forth in these instruments, made as an inducement to the execution hereof
          or
          otherwise.

      

    

    

    
      
        13.
          NO
          WAIVERS.
          No
          failure by either party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
          any
          right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
          or
          partial exercise of any right hereunder by either party preclude any other
          or
          future exercise of that right or any other right hereunder by that
          party.

          If any
          provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, unenforceable
          or
          illegal, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction under any circumstances
          for
          any reason, (a) such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent
          necessary
          to cause such provision to be valid, enforceable and legal while preserving
          the
          intent of the parties as expressed in, and the benefits to the parties
          provided
          by, this Agreement, or (b) if such provision cannot be so reformed, such
          provision shall be severed from this Agreement and an adjustment shall
          be made

          and the benefits so provided. Such holding shall not affect or impair the
          validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction
          or under any other circumstances. Neither such holding nor such reformation
          or
          severance shall affect or impair the legality, validity or enforceability
          of any
          other provision of this Agreement.

          ARBITRATION.
          Except
          any dispute under which the remedy of specific performance is sought under
          Section 11, hereof, all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement
          will
          be finally settled under the rules of the American Arbitration Association
          (the
“Rules”), by three arbitrators, one to be selected by the Company, one to be
          selected by the Executive, and one selected by the arbitrators selected
          by the
          Executive and Company. The selection of the arbitrators will be in accordance
          with the Rules. The place of arbitration will be in Miami, Florida. The
          procedural law applicable to the dispute will be the Florida Rules of Civil
          Procedure. The substantive law applicable to the merits of the case will
          be the
          Florida law as in effect at the date of this Agreement. The parties agree
          that
          the award of the arbitrators: will be the sole and exclusive remedy between
          them
          regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or
          pled to
          the arbitrators; that it will be made and will promptly be payable in U.S.
          dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and that any costs, fees
          or taxes,
          including attorneys' fees, paralegal and law clerk fees, incident to enforcing
          the award will, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against
          the
          party resisting such enforcement. The award will include interest from
          the date
          of any damages incurred for the breach or other violation of the Agreement,
          and
          from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate to be fixed by
          the
          arbitrators, but in no event less than the London Interbank Offering Rate
          (“LIBOR”) per annum quoted for the corresponding period by Chase Manhattan Bank
          in the London Interbank Market of the United States Dollars for immediately
          available funds; provided, however, that in no event will the rate of interest
          chargeable or collectible on any such award exceed the highest lawful rate
          permitted from time to time under Florida law. For purposes of determining
          the
          highest lawful rate, under Florida law, the parties hereby select the “indicated
          rate ceiling” as in effect from time to time during the periods in which such
          award remains unpaid. All notices by one party to the other, in connection
          with
          the arbitration, must be in writing and must be deemed to have been duly
          given
          or made if delivered, mailed by registered air mail, return receipt requested,
          or telecopied to their addresses shown in the Company's books and
          records.

    WHEREAS,
      the Corporation hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby
      accepts such employment, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
      forth.

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein con-tained and other
      good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
      parties hereby agree as follows:

    

    1. EXECUTIVE'S
      DUTIES.
      The
      Corporation hereby agrees to employ Executive to render her services during
      the
      term hereof, in an executive capacity as Comptroller (the “Position”) and
      Executive hereby accepts such employment by the Corporation, on and subject
      to
      the terms and con-ditions of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that due
      to
      the nature of the Corporation’s business she may have to travel.

     

    The
      Executive shall use the Executive’s professional efforts, skills and abilities
      to promote the interests of the Corporation and to diligently and competently
      perform faithfully and efficiently the duties of the Position. The Executive
      shall work a minimum of forty (40) hours per week at the Corporation’s office.
The
      Executive shall, during the term of this Agreement, devote her full time
      attention and energies to the performance of her duties hereunder.

     

    2. COMPENSATION.
      

    

    2.1. Salary
      The
      Executive’s salary shall be Eighty Thousand
      and 00/100 Dollars ($80,000.00) per annum
      (“Salary”) payable on the 15th
      and the
      last day of each month in arrears, in accordance with Corporation’s standard
      payroll practices.  

    

    2.1 Additional
      Term.
      The
      Salary shall be increased at a rate of no less than 5% per anum over the
      previous 12 months’ Salary (“Minimum Increase”). Any increases above the Minimum
      Increase shall be at the discretion of the Company.

    

    3. TERM.
      The term
      of Executive's employment hereunder will commence as of the Effective Date
      and
      will continue without interruption for a period of six (6) months (the “Initial
      Term”). After the Initial Term, the Agreement shall renew automatically for
      additional six (6) month periods (the “Additional Term”) on the terms set forth
      herein unless the Agreement is terminated by either party in writing within
      thirty days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the applicable
      Additional Term as the case may be. 

    

    4. TERMINATION.
      

      

    4.1  Termination
      By Corporation For Cause.
      The
      Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation for cause. For the purposes
      of
      this Agreement the term “Cause” means the Executive’s: (a) willful appropriation
      or conversion for her own use of property or money belonging to the Corporation;
      (b) violation of this Agreement; (c) excessive absences not authorized by this
      Agreement or by the Corporation; (d) substance abuse and/or refusal to submit
      to
      periodic substance screening tests as determined by the Corporation from time
      to
      time; and (e) in the occurrence a case is brought forth against the Executive
      for violation of any securities or corporate laws.   

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    In
      the
      event the Executive is terminated for Cause, the Corporation shall pay the
      Executive her Salary through the date of termination and, no other benefits
      hereunder shall be paid to Executive. 

    

    4.2
       Termination
      By Corporation Without Cause.

      severance payment, for the period consisting of the shorter of: (i) two (2)
      months after date of termination; or, (ii) the remaining balance of the Initial
      Term or Additional Term, as the case may be, of this Agreement then in effect.
      

     

    Prior
      to
      delivery to Executive of the first installment of severance benefits payable
      this Section 4.3 of this Agreement, Executive must deliver to the Company a
      general release against any other liability of the Corporation to
      Executive.

     

    4.3.

      Agreement may be terminated by the Executive for Good Reason by giving the
      Executive a written thirty day notice of termination. For the purpose of this
      Agreement, the term “Good Reason” means the Corporation’s material violation of
      this Agreement, which is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice
      of
      the violation by the Executive to the Corporation. 

     

    
       In
        the
        event the Executive terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, the Executive
        shall be entitled to continue receiving her Salary for the period consisting
        of
        the shorter of: i) the balance of the term of this Agreement, as if this
        Agreement had not been terminated; or, ii) two (2) months after date of
        termination.

        
           
 

        

      

    

    4.4.
       Termination
      By Executive Without Good Reason.
      The
      Executive may not terminate the Agreement at any time without Good Reason

     

    4.5
       Death.
      In the
      event of Executive's death during the term of this Agreement, the Corporation
      shall have no further obligations to make payments or otherwise under this
      Agreement, except that the Corporation shall pay to Executive's estate within
      ten (10) days after the date of Executive's death any accrued unpaid Salary
      to
      which Executive was entitled as of the date of death.

     

    4.6
      Disability.
      If
      Executive becomes unable due to a mental or physical disability to perform
      the
      services required of Executive pursuant to this Agreement, as determined in
      good
      faith by the Board, for an aggregate of fifteen (15) days in any twelve (12)
      month period (a "Disability"),
      the
      Corporation, at its option, may terminate Executive's employment hereunder
      with
      cause (the date of such termination, the "Disability
      Date"),
      and,
      thereafter, Executive shall not be deemed to be employed under this Agreement
      and the Corporation shall have no further obligations to make payments or
      otherwise under this Agreement. In the event of a Disability, the Corporation
      shall pay to Executive within ten (10) days after the Disability Date any unpaid
      accrued Salary as of the Disability Date. Nothing in this Agreement is intended
      to cause the Corporation to be in violation of the Americans with Disabilities
      Act.

    5. BENEFITS.
      The
      Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:

    

    5.1. Vacation.
      Executive shall be entitled to reasonable paid vacation periods, not exceeding
      eight (8) working days during the term hereof, in addition to any legal holidays
      recognized by the Corporation. Vacation days must be taken during the
      corresponding calendar year and may not be accumulated from year to year.
      Vacation schedules must be agreed upon with the President of the Corporation
      (the “President”) to ensure competent management of the Corporation in the
      Executive's absence.

       Sick
      Days. Executive
      shall be entitled to four (4) sick days per annum (the “Sick Days”). Sick Days
      are paid at the Executive’s base rate at time of use of Sick Day. Executive’s
      Sick days shall not exceed four (4) in any twelve-month period. A breach by
      Executive of this section is a material breach of this Agreement by the
      Executive. 

    

    5.3. Health
      Insurance.
      The
      Corporation agrees to provide Executive with a $400 dollar per month health

      all information obtained by her in the course of her employment relating to
      the
      business of the Corporation. All written reports, recommendations, advice,
      records, documents and other materials prepared or obtained by Executive or

      direction in con-nection with the business of the Corporation during her

      of
      the outstanding stock of any company the securities of which are traded on

      the nature in question may fail for unforeseen technical reasons and
      accordingly, it is hereby agreed and declared that if any of such restrictions
      will be adjudged to be void as going beyond what is reasonable in all the
      circumstances for the protection of the interests of the Corporation but would
      be valid if part of the wording thereof were deleted or the period (if any)
      thereof reduced or the range of activities or area dealt with thereby reduced
      in
      scope, said restriction will apply with such modifications as may be necessary
      to make it valid and effective. 

     

    (b) Non-Solicitation. The
      Executive must not, except on behalf of the Corporation, directly or indirectly,
      contact or solicit business from any employee, client, suppler, financier,
      bank,
      or other source of the Corporation and the Executive must not own, operate,
      manage, or render assistance to any facility or anyone else which contacts
      or
      solicits any employee, client, supplier, financier, bank, or other source of
      the
      Corporation.

    

    (c) Continued
      Assistance.
      The
      Executive must assist the Corporation at such reasonable times as the
      Corporation may request, subject to reasonable availability, with respect to
      any
      continuing matters respecting the business of the Corporation, and she must
      assist the Corporation in maintaining relationships with those persons and
      firms
      with whom the Corporation has been doing business, including clients, vendors
      and others useful to the Corporation. If the Executive’s employment with the
      Corporation has been terminated, the Executive will be reimbursed for all
      expenses incurred on behalf of the Corporation and will receive compensation
      on
      an hourly basis at a rate no less than $75.00 per hour.

    

    (d) Confidentiality.
      Except
      for information in the public domain and information authorized by the
      Corporation to be disclosed, the Executive must not, for any reason or in any
      manner whatsoever use, communicate, divulge or otherwise exploit for her own
      benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity any name, address
      or
      other sensitive business information concerning any employee, agent, client
      or
      any other confidential information of the Corporation or concerning any trade
      secret or information of a confidential nature relating but not limited to
      the
      ownership, operation or management of the business of the Corporation
      (including, without limitation, financial affairs, services, employees,
      employees' compensation, business strategies and contractual relationships).
      Information described in the preceding sentence is referred to collectively
      herein as "Restricted Information." 

    

    (e) Non-Interference.
      The
      Executive must not, for any reason or in any manner whatsoever interfere with
      the Corporation's relationship with their Clients, employees, agents or referral
      sources. Without limiting the definition of "interference" and by way of example
      only, the following are agreed to constitute interference within the meaning
      of
      this Agreement if done without the express written consent of the Corporation,
      unless conducted within the normal scope of the Executive's managerial duties
      for the benefit of the Corporation; (i) using or disclosing Restricted
      Information in any discussion or contacts with employees, agents or referral
      sources; (ii) commenting on the business practices, procedures or policies
      of
      the Corporation to any employee, agent or referral source of the Corporation;
      or, (iii) seeking to employ or engage or assisting any other person seeking
      to
      employ or engage any employee of the Corporation.

    10. SPECIFIC
      PERFORMANCE.
      The
      parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the executive and managerial services
      to be rendered by Executive hereunder are of such a special, unique and
      extraordinary character that it gives them a peculiar value impossible to
      replace and for the loss of which the Corporation cannot be reasonably or
      adequately compensated in damages, and Executive acknowledges and agrees that
      a
      breach by her of the provisions of Sections 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement hereof
      will cause the Corporation irreparable injury and damage. Executive, therefore,
      expressly agrees that the Corporation shall be entitled to injunctive and/or
      other equitable relief to prevent a breach of Sections 6, 7 or 8 of this
      Agreement and to secure their enfor-cement. Nothing herein shall be construed
      as
      a waiver by the Corporation of any right it may now have or hereafter acquire
      to
      monetary damages by reason of any injury to its property, busi-ness or
      reputation arising out of any wrongful act or omission of
      Executive.

    

    11. ENTIRE
      AGREEMENT.
      All
      prior negotiations of the parties or any party relating to the subject matter
      hereof, have been merged in and are superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement
      contains the entire agreement of the parties, and there are no promises,
      agreements, understandings, representations, warran-ties or conditions of any
      nature not set forth in this Agreement, made as an inducement to the execution
      hereof or otherwise.

    

    12. NO
      WAIVERS.
      No
      failure by either party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
      right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
      partial exercise of any right hereunder by either party preclude any other
      or
      future exercise of that right or any other right hereunder by that
      party.

    

    13. SEVERABILITY.
      If any
      provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, unenforceable or
      illegal, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction under any circumstances for
      any reason, (a) such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary
      to cause such provision to be valid, enforceable and legal while preserving
      the
      intent of the parties as expressed in, and the benefits to the parties provided
      by, this Agreement, or (b) if such provision cannot be so reformed, such
      provision shall be severed from this Agreement and an adjustment shall be made
      to this Agreement (including, without limitation, addition of necessary further
      provisions to this Agreement) so as to give effect to the intent as so expressed
      and the benefits so provided. Such holding shall not affect or impair the
      validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction
      or under any other circumstances. Neither such holding nor such reformation
      or
      severance shall affect or impair the legality, validity or enforceability of
      any
      other provision of this Agreement.

      Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the law of

      or
      in part, by either party, except that the Corporation may assign this Agreement

      Corporation may be merged or consolidated or which may acquire all or
      substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

    

    16. AMENDMENT.
      This
      Agreement may not be amended, terminated or super-seded except by an agreement
      in writing between the Corporation and Executive.

    

    17. COUNTERPARTS.
      This

      this Agreement.

    

    19. INDEPENDENT
      LEGAL COUNSEL.
      The
      Executive and Corporation hereby represents that they have employed their own
      independent legal counsel and tax advisors to review and advise their respective
      positions with respect to legal and tax consequences of this Agreement. Neither
      party has solicited or relied on the other’s legal or tax advisors for any
      advice with respect to this Agreement.

     

    20. ARBITRATION.
      Except
      any dispute under which the remedy of specific performance is sought under
      Section 10, hereof, all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement
      will
      be finally settled under the rules of the American Arbitration Association
      (the
“Rules”), by three arbitrators, one to be selected by the Corporation, one to be
      selected by the Executive, and one selected by the arbitrators selected by
      the
      Executive and Corporation. The selection of the arbitrators will be in
      accordance with the Rules. The place of arbitration will be in Miami, Florida.
      The procedural law applicable to the dispute will be the Florida Rules of Civil
      Procedure. The substantive law applicable to the merits of the case will be
      the
      Florida law as in effect at the date of this Agreement. The parties agree that
      the award of the arbitrators: will be the sole and exclusive remedy between
      them
      regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or pled
      to
      the arbitrators; that it will be made and will promptly be payable in U.S.
      dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and that any costs, fees or taxes,
      including attorneys' fees, paralegal and law clerk fees, incident to enforcing
      the award will, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against
      the
      party resisting such enforcement. The award will include interest from the
      date
      of any damages incurred for the breach or other violation of the Agreement,
      and
      from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate to be fixed by the
      arbitrators, but in no event less than the London Interbank Offering Rate
      (“LIBOR”) per annum quoted for the corresponding period by Chase Manhattan Bank
      in the London Interbank Market of the United States Dollars for immediately
      available funds; provided, however, that in no event will the rate of interest
      chargeable or collectible on any such award exceed the highest lawful rate
      permitted from time to time under Florida law. For purposes of determining
      the
      highest lawful rate, under Florida law, the parties hereby select the “indicated
      rate ceiling” as in effect from time to time during the periods in which such
      award remains unpaid. All notices by one party to the other, in connection
      with
      the arbitration, must be in writing and must be deemed to have been duly given
      or made if delivered, mailed by registered air mail, return receipt requested,
      or telecopied to their addresses shown in the Corporation's books and
      records.

      against another party with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of
      this
      Agree-ment, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs
