                  regulations with respect to conduct, health and safety and
                  protection of persons and property.

5.       NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant
         will not accept work, enter into a contract, or accept any obligation,
         inconsistent or incompatible with Consultant's obligations, or the
         scope of services rendered for 1st Step, under this Agreement.
         Consultant warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, there is no
         other contract or duty on Consultant's part, which conflicts with or is
         inconsistent with this Agreement. Consultant agrees to indemnify 1st
         Step from any and all loss or liability incurred by reason of the
         alleged breach by Consultant of any services agreement with any third
         party.

6.       TERM AND TERMINATION.

         6.1.     TERM. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date set
                  forth below.

         6.2.     TERMINATION. Either party may terminate this Agreement, with
                  or without cause, at any time upon fifteen (15) days' prior
                  written notice to the other party. In the event of
                  termination, Consultant's stock options shall immediately stop
                  vesting.

         6.3.     SURVIVAL. The rights and obligations contained in Sections 4
                  ("Intellectual Property Rights") and 7 ("Noninterference with
                  Business") will survive any termination or expiration of this
                  Agreement.

7.       NONINTERFERENCE WITH BUSINESS. During this Agreement, and for a period
         of two years immediately following its termination, and for a period of
         two years immediately following its termination, Consultant agrees not
         to interfere with the business of 1st Step in any manner. By way of
         example and not of limitation, Consultant agrees not to solicit or
         induce any employee or independent Consultant to terminate or breach an
         employment, contractual or other relationship with 1st Step.

8.       SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. Consultant may not assign this Agreement or
         subcontract or otherwise delegate its obligations under this Agreement
         without 1st Step's prior written consent. Subject to the foregoing,
         this Agreement will be for the benefit of 1st Step's successors and
         assigns, and will be binding on Consultant's assignees.

9.       CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Neither party will be liable to the other for
         any consequential, special or incidental.

         overnight courier upon written verification of receipt; iii) by

         party may specify in writing.

         laws of the United States of America and by the laws of the State of
         California, excluding California's conflict of law provisions.

12.      SEVERABILITY. Should any provisions at this Agreement be held by a
         court of law to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality,
         validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
         Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

13.      WAIVER. The waiver by 1st Step of a breach of any provision of this
         Agreement by Consultant shall not operate or be construed as a waiver
         of any other or subsequent breach by Consultant.

14.      INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FOR BREACH. Consultant's obligations under this
         Agreement are of a unique character that gives them particular value;

         cont8inuing damage to 1st Step or which there will be no adequate
         remedy at law; and, in the event of such breach, 1st Step will be
         entitled to injunctive relief and/or a decree for specific performance,
         and such other and further relief as may be proper (including monetary
         damages if appropriate).

15.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
         between the parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all
         prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such
         subject matter. The terms of this Agreement will govern all Project
         Assignments and services undertaken by Consultant for 1st Step. This
         Agreement will govern all Project Assignments and services undertaken
