                              --------------------

                  This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of the 1st
day of October 2001 by and between Intercallnet, Inc., a Florida corporation
(the "Company") and Stephanie L. Brady ("Employee"), with reference to the
following facts and circumstances:

                  WHEREAS, the Company had previously offered to employ Employee
as a full time employee of the Company, whereupon Employee joined the Company as
an employee thereof as of June 11, 2001; and

                  WHEREAS, the Company and Employee now wish to continue the
employment of Employee with the Company and for this purpose desire to set forth
the terms and conditions of such continued employment;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                  1. Employment
                     ----------

                  The Company hereby employs Employee and Employee hereby
accepts employment with the Company for an initial period of three (3) years
commencing from October 1, 2001 and ending on September 30, 2004 and for
additional periods of one (1) year each commencing at the end of the initial
period and each additional period; provided, however, that the Company or
Employee may terminate such employment, without cause and each at its sole
discretion, at the end of the initial period or at the end of any additional
period by giving notice to such effect to the other party at least six (6)
months prior to the end of the applicable period. As used herein, the phrase
"Employment Period" refers to and shall mean the actual period of employment of
Employee by the Company and/or its subsidiaries hereunder, whether for the
periods provided above, or terminated earlier as hereinafter provided or
extended by mutual agreement between the Company and Employee.

                  2. Duties
                     ------

                  2.1 During the Employment Period, Employee shall serve as
Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The Board of Directors (the "Board") of
the Company recognizes that the Employee's contribution to the growth and
success of the Company has been, and believes will continue to be, substantial,
and desires to assure the Company of the Employee's present and continued
employment in an executive capacity and to compensate her therefor.

                  2.2 In consideration of the obligations of the Company
hereunder, Employee hereby agrees to devote during the Employment Period
substantially all of her productive time, ability and attention to the
performance of her duties under this Agreement.

                  2.3 Employee represents and warrants to the Company that there
are no agreements or arrangements, whether written or oral, in effect which
would lawfully prevent Employee from rendering services to the Company during
the Employment Period. Employee

further represents, warrants and agrees with the Company that as of the date
hereof she has not made, and will not make during the Employment Period, any
commitment or do any act in conflict with this Agreement, or take any action
that might divert from the Company any opportunity which would be in the scope
of any present business of the Company.

                  3. Compensation and Benefits
                     -------------------------

                  3.1 As base compensation for Employee's services hereunder the
Company shall pay to Employee a base salary equal to at least the following:

               (i)   for the period from October 1, 2001 through September 30,
                     2002, the amount of one hundred and eighteen thousand
                     dollars ($118,000) per year;

               (ii)  for the period from October 1, 2002 through September 30,
                     2003, the amount of one hundred and twenty nine thousand
                     eight hundred dollars ($129,800) per year;

               (iii) for the period from October 1, 2003 through September 30,
                     2004, the amount of one hundred and forty two thousand
                     seven hundred and eighty dollars ($142,780) per year; and

               (iv)  thereafter for each subsequent calendar year an amount
                     equal to the previous year's salary plus twenty percent
                     (20%) of such previous year's salary.

Such compensation shall be payable in accordance with the Company's payroll
policies and procedures.

                  3.2 (a) As additional incentive compensation for Employee's
services hereunder, the Company shall pay to Employee in respect of each full
fiscal year of the Company which commences within the Employment Period an
amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of a "bonus pool" equal to ten percent
(10%) of "earnings before income taxes depreciation amortization" (EBITDA) (as
hereinafter defined in subsection (b)) of the Company for such fiscal year in
excess of one million four hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
($1,425,000). Such additional compensation shall be paid within thirty (30) days
after the date of receipt by the Company of financial statements, certified by
the independent public accountants at the time engaged by the Company. The
amount of additional compensation payable in respect of any such fiscal year
shall not be prorated if the Employment Period terminates during such fiscal
year.

                  (b) At the end of each fiscal year of the Company covered by
Section 3.2(a), the Company's independent public accountants shall prepare and
submit to the Company and Employee an audited financial statement covering the
operations of the Company for such year and setting forth, among other things,
the "earnings before income taxes depreciation amortization" (EBITDA) of the
Company for that year as hereinafter defined. Each such financial statement
shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and generally accepted auditing standards consistently applied and shall be
accompanied by a Report of the Company's independent public accountants auditing
such financial statement to the effect that such financial statement was
prepared in accordance with

                                       2

<PAGE>

generally accepted accounting principles and generally accepted auditing
standards. For the purposes of Section 3.2(a), the "earnings before income taxes
depreciation and amortization" of the Company for any fiscal year of the Company
shall mean the consolidated gross revenues and income of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries for such fiscal year remaining after deduction
therefrom of (i) all normal cost and expense deductions determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and generally accepted auditing
standards consistently applied and appropriately deductible from gross revenues
under such principles and standards and (ii) an amount equal to the amount of
base compensation paid to Employee by the Company during such fiscal year under
Section 3.1 (but no deduction for any additional compensation paid or payable to
Employee at any time under this Agreement), but excluding (A) any provision for
any United States Federal, state or local income taxes or for any foreign income
taxes in respect of such fiscal year, (B) any depreciation and/or amortization
and (C) any profit or loss, as the case may be, resulting from unusual and
nonrecurring items which are not identifiable with, or do not result from, the
business operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. For purposes of this
Section 3.2, the "fiscal year" of the Company means the annual period for which
the Company files its Federal income tax returns.

                  3.3 Nothing herein shall prevent the compensation provided for
in Section 3.1 and/or Section 3.2 from being increased at any time by the
consent and agreement of the Company and Employee, as approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company; and nothing herein shall prevent Employee from being
entitled to receive any bonus or additional compensation which may be voted or
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. If any substantial entity
shall be added to the Company during the Employment Period, then the parties
hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to determine whether any further
compensation to Employee is appropriate as a result of duties Employee
undertakes on behalf of the Company with respect to such entity.

                  3.4 It is understood and agreed that all amounts to be paid by
the Company to Employee under this Agreement shall be subject only to deductions
for Federal, State and local payroll and other taxes and charges (including,
without limitation, income taxes, FICA, etc.) and to such other deductions in
respect to Company benefits.

                  3.5 Any compensation otherwise payable to Employee under this
Agreement in respect of any period during which Employee is receiving amounts
for loss of earnings or the like under any Company insurance plan or policy
and/or under any government program shall be reduced by such amounts.

                  Article 4. Options
                             -------

                  4.1 On June 29, 2001, the Company granted to Employee a
non-qualified option under the Company's 2001 Stock Option Plan to purchase from
the Company one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock
at the price of $0.50 per share.

                  Article 5. Benefits
                             --------

                  5.1 The Company shall obtain and pay for disability insurance
on Employee providing for monthly payments to Employee of at least $5,900 in the
case of Employee becoming permanently disabled as defined in Section 6.3. All
terms and conditions in this paragraph 5.1 are subject to the determination by
the Company's Board of Directors that the payment of such benefit is financial
feasible.

                  5.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, during the
Employment Period, Employee shall be covered by and participate in the Company's
various benefits as in effect from time to time, including, without limitation,
the Company's medical benefits plan and long term disability plan, as and to the
extent customarily provided by the Company to its other most senior executives
and shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company's then
current vacation policy.

                  Article 6. Death and Disability
                             --------------------

                  6.1 It is understood and acknowledged that Employee's efforts
expended to date and to be hereafter expended are necessary in order for the
Company to achieve any significant growth and success. Accordingly, if during
the Employment Period Employee should die Employee's beneficiary (determined as
set forth in Section 6.2), shall have the full right to exercise the options set
forth in Article 4; provided, however, that for the purposes of this Section 6.1
only, the Employment Period shall end at the end of the three year period in
which such disability or death occurs and shall not be automatically extended
for any additional period, without any requirement that the Company give written
notice of termination at the end of such three year period in accordance with
Article 1.

                  6.2 Whenever any of the provisions of this Agreement require
the distribution of any options or stock to Employee's beneficiary, such
distribution shall be made to such individual or individuals, and in such
shares, as Employee shall last have designated by written notice to the Company
or, in the absence of an effective designation, to her widow or, if he shall not
then be living, to her children in equal shares or, if no such child shall then
be living, to her descendants in equal shares per stirpes. If no such
beneficiary shall be living when any such payment and/or distribution is
required to be made, such payment and/or distribution shall be made to
Employee's estate. Employee may, in the manner provided above, change any such
designation from time to time, may designate successor beneficiaries and may
make separate designations in respect of each provision of this Agreement under
which any such payment may be made.

                  6.3 For the purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be
deemed to have become permanently disabled if Employee should be unable, due to
physical or mental incapacity, to substantially perform Employee's duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement for a period of one hundred eighty (180)
consecutive days.

employment with the Company may be terminated at any time (i) by the Company,

Employee, in the manner provided in Article 10, no later than sixty (60)

material injury to the Company or any of its affiliates.

                  (b) If Employee's employment with the Company should be

                  7.3 Termination "Without Cause" or Certain Resignation.
                      --------------------------------------------------

                  (a) For the purposes of this Agreement, "Without Cause" is
defined as a termination for any reason other than "For Cause".

                  (b) If Employee's employment with the Company should be
terminated by the Company "Without Cause", or if Employee should resign his
employment with the Company because of demotion from Chief Financial Officer of
the Company then in such case:

                  (i) Employee shall be entitled to receive any and all amounts
                  which would have been paid to Employee (i.e., base
                  compensation and additional incentive compensation) under
                  Article 3, as in effect on the date immediately prior to
                  Employee's termination hereunder, had his employment had not
                  been so terminated shall be paid in full to Employee until the
                  end of the three year period under Article 3 in which such
                  termination occurred (with regard to the additional incentive
                  compensation, such compensation shall be determined based upon
                  the fiscal year in which such termination date occurs and the
                  amount of such additional compensation as so determined shall
                  be payable for each fiscal year which commences within such
                  three year period);

                                       5

<PAGE>

                  (ii) Employee shall have the full right to exercise the
                  options and purchase shares set forth in Article 4 in
                  accordance with terms of the applicable stock option
                  agreement;

                  (iii) In lieu of the payments provided in (i) of this Section
                  7.3, Employee may elect in writing the payment to Employee by
                  the Company of a lump sum settlement in an amount equal to
                  eighty percent (80%) of the total aggregate payments that
                  would have been payable under such (i) of this Section 7.3;
                  and

                  (iv) Employee's rights and benefits under all other Articles
                  and Sections of this Agreement shall continue in accordance
                  with the terms and provisions thereof, including, without
                  limitation, Employee's rights and benefits under Article 5.

                  7.4 Resignation by Employee
                      -----------------------

                  If Employee should resign his employment with the Company for
any reason other than demotion from Chief Financial Officer of the Company or a
Business Combination, then in such case, the Company shall have no liability or
obligation to Employee hereunder or otherwise in respect of his employment other
than the obligation to pay to Employee any accrued and unpaid base compensation
under Section 3.1 as of the date of termination plus such additional
compensation as shall be due to Employee under Section 3.2 in respect of any
fiscal year in which such resignation occurs and the amount of such additional
compensation in respect of such fiscal year shall not be prorated even though
such resignation occurs within such fiscal year.

                  Article 8. Business Combination
                             --------------------

                  8.1 For purposes of this Article 8, a "Business Combination"
shall mean the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into, the sale or
other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets and/or business of the
Company to, or the ownership of ten percent (10%) or more of the total voting
capital stock of the Company then issued and outstanding by, any person or
entity not affiliated with the Company as of October 1, 2001.

                  8.2 It is expressly recognized by the parties that a Business
Combination would necessarily result in the material alteration or diminishment
of Employee's position and responsibilities. Therefore, if, during the
Employment Period, there shall occur, with or without the consent of the
Company, a Business Combination, and if the Employment Period should be
terminated by the Company during the last year of the Employment Period, or if
during such last year Employee should resign her employment with the Company
because of demotion from Chief Financial Officer of the Company then in such
case, and only in such case, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, the following provisions shall apply:

         (a)      Employee shall be under no obligation whatever to seek other
                  employment opportunities during the aforesaid one (1) year
                  period, and Employee shall not be obligated to accept any
                  other employment opportunity, which may be offered to Employee
                  during such period.

                                       6

         (b)      Employee shall be entitled to receive any and all amounts
                  (i.e., base compensation and additional incentive
                  compensation) under Article 3, as in effect on the date
                  immediately prior to Employee's termination or resignation, as
                  the case may be, hereunder, for the period of one (1) year
                  commencing from the date of termination or resignation
                  hereunder (with regard to the additional incentive
                  compensation, such compensation shall be determined based upon
                  the fiscal year in which such termination or resignation date
                  occurs and the amount of such additional compensation as so
                  determined shall be payable for each fiscal year which
                  commences within such one year period);

         (c)      In lieu of the semi-monthly payments provided in (b) of this
                  Section 8.2, Employee may elect in writing the payment to
                  Employee by the Company of a lump sum settlement in an amount
                  equal to eighty percent (80%) of the total aggregate payments
                  that would have been payable under such (b) of this Section
                  8.2.

         (d)      All of Employee's rights under this Agreement, including,
                  without limitation, the right to exercise the options and
                  purchase shares set forth in Article 4 in accordance with
                  terms of the applicable stock option agreement, shall continue
                  in full force and effect in accordance with their terms during
                  such one (1) year period.

The payments to be made to Employee under (b) or (c) above of this Section 8.2
shall be in lieu of Employee's rights to receive payments under Article 3;
however, notwithstanding any termination or resignation under this Article 8,
Employee's rights and benefits under all other Articles and Sections of this
Agreement shall continue in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof,
including, Employee's rights and benefits under Article 5.

                  8.3 Any termination or resignation under this Article 8 and
the receipt by Employee of any amounts pursuant to Section 8.2 shall not
preclude Employee's employment by any other party after the date of such
termination.

                  Article 9. No Adequate Remedy
                             ------------------

                  The parties declare that it is impossible to measure in money
the damages which will accrue to either party by reason of a failure to perform
any of the obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, if either party shall
institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, such person
against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or
defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not
urge in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such party has
an adequate remedy at law.

The parties acknowledge and agree that:

         WHEREAS, Mr. Paul Cifaldi ("Cifaldi") of E Commerce Consulting, Inc.
         (the "Company") has a background in the area of new business
         development of full service customer call centers and is willing to
         provide services to ICN based on this background.

         WHEREAS, ICN desires to have services provided by Cifaldi and the
Company.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
         covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. (a) ICN engages the Company as its nonexclusive consultant and the
Company agrees to provide consulting services to ICN with respect to various
matters that may be facing ICN in the conduct of its new business development.
In particular, the services (the "Services") to be performed by the Company
shall be as follows:

               -    Expansion of the existing business of ICN by identifying new
                    marketing opportunities and obtaining for ICN new contracts
                    for ICN's services.

               -    Assistance in the fulfillment of ICN's existing and new
                    contractual obligations as shall be requested from time to
                    time by ICN's management.

               -    Development of new business opportunities for new accounts
                    for services with ICN.

         (b) The Company and Cifaldi each agrees to faithfully and industriously
undertake the performance of such Services at the direction of ICN and to the
best of their ability, experience and talents perform all of those duties that
may be required of them pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement. ICN

         (c) Neither the Company nor Cifaldi shall use at any time the name or
logo of, or refer to, ICN, directly or indirectly, in any advertisement, sales
presentation, news release, report or other publication or presentation without
ICN's prior written approval.

         (d) If during the term of this Agreement the Company should present to
ICN a new account opportunity which ICN elects not to pursue, the Company shall
have the right to offer such new account opportunity to a third party.

         2. The term of this Agreement during which the Services shall be
provided under this Agreement shall commence on the date set forth above and
shall terminate on October 15, 2003 (the "Term"), unless earlier terminated as
provided in Section 15, or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and ICN.

         3. (a) As compensation for the performance of Services hereunder,
during the Term of this Agreement ICN shall pay the Company consulting fees at
the rate of $1,153.85 for each week of the Term. ICN will continue to pay the
Company for the Services weekly under the terms of this Agreement.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company will also be eligible to earn an
additional commission based on new and existing business brought to ICN by the
Company. Such commission will be paid in accordance with Schedule A of this
Agreement.

In addition to the foregoing, concurrent with the execution of this Agreement,
ICN shall issue to Cifaldi a stock option to purchase up to 50,000 restricted
shares of ICN's common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to
the terms and conditions of the stock option agreement, a copy of which stock
option agreement is attached hereto as Schedule B.

         (b) The Company shall also be reimbursed monthly for its reasonable
travel and other expenses directly related to the performance of the Services
hereunder but only if such expenses have been incurred with ICN's prior
approval. The Company shall include such documentation to the degree reasonably
required for ICN's accounting needs. ICN will reimburse the Company for expenses
as aforesaid within thirty calendar (30) days after receipt by ICN of invoices

determined in each instance by the President of ICN: office space, staff and
secretarial support and office supplies.

         4. (a) In acting as a consultant to ICN hereunder, the Company and
Cifaldi will be acting at all times as independent contractors and not as agents
or employees of ICN. The Company represents that it is generally engaged in

         (b) (1) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is

         (2) Excluding Paul Cifaldi, all employees of E Commerce Consulting,
Inc. are not eligible to participate in any of ICN's employee benefit or similar
plans and/or programs, and, without limiting the foregoing, performance of
services hereunder shall not entitle any member of E Commerce Consulting, Inc.

of such plans and/or programs. It will be the responsibility of E Commerce
Consulting, Inc. to provide for its own insurance coverage and other needs to
such other employees to the extent it considers appropriate.

         (b) The employees of the Company will be under its exclusive
supervision and control and will not be employees, independent contractors or

so as to relieve ICN fully from any responsibility or liability therefore. The
Company hereby indemnifies and holds ICN harmless from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, fines and taxes (including interest
and penalties thereon) arising out of (1) any actual or claimed noncompliance
with any of the Company's obligations set forth in this Subsection (b), or (2) a
determination by any court or federal or state entity that (i) ICN is an
employer (joint or otherwise) of any individual performing consulting services
under this Agreement, or that the Company is not the employer of any such
individual, or (ii) any failure by the Company to carry out any obligation set
forth in this Section 4.

         5. ICN will own exclusively, and each of the Company and Cifaldi does
hereby assign to ICN all of its/his right, title and interest (including
copyrights, patents and patent applications) in, all discoveries, inventions,
works of authorship, documents, reports and materials (including copyrights and
patents and patent applications) which have been and/or are conceived,
originated or prepared by the Company and/or Cifaldi during the period
commencing March 31, 2000 and ending on the date of termination of this
Agreement ("work product"), whether or not (i) prepared on or off ICN's premises
and/or (ii) solely by the Company or Cifaldi or jointly by them and ICN and/or
any other party and/or (iii) they are "works for hire" under the U.S. Copyright
Act. The Company and/or Cifaldi shall provide ICN upon request with all
assistance reasonably required to perfect such right, title and interest,
including executing an assignment of any or all of such work product in such
form as ICN shall request and all such work product shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 7 below.

         6. The Company and Cifaldi shall each promptly, in conjunction with
legal counsel provided by ICN, review and execute applications for letters
patent of the United States and of such foreign countries as ICN may elect, for
such of the inventions contemplated above in Section 5 as ICN may direct, which
said applications shall be prosecuted at the expense of ICN by solicitors chosen
by ICN. The Company and Cifaldi shall each execute and deliver assignments to
ICN for the entire right, title and interest in and to said inventions and the

                                   Page 3 of 9

<PAGE>

applications and the letters patent therefore. The Company and Cifaldi shall
each execute all papers essential or desirable to carry out the spirit and
intent hereof, and shall give all reasonable assistance in establishing,
protecting and maintaining the rights of ICN and its affiliated companies in
said inventions, applications, and letters patent in accordance with the spirit
of this Agreement.

         7. (a) The ideas, inventions and other information regarded by ICN as a
secret process or trade secret, whether developed by the Company, Cifaldi and/or
others and whether patentable or not, and all work product covered by Section 5
shall be and remain the property of ICN, and the Company and Cifaldi will each
take all reasonable steps necessary to protect such information from use by or
disclosure to any other person, and when requested, will execute such documents
as ICN may from time to time require to safeguard or transfer such information.
In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
and Cifaldi each hereby covenants and agrees with ICN to protect from use by or
disclosure to any other person (i) any and all reports, materials and
information furnished by the Company to ICN under this Agreement and which the
Company is informed by ICN in writing is deemed secret, (ii) all information
concerning the business, systems, procedures, business prospects and any other
affairs of ICN or its affiliated companies of which the Company and Cifaldi
shall at any time become possessed and (iii) the provisions of this Agreement.
The Company and Cifaldi each will not during or after the term of this Agreement
disclose any such information to any person, firm or corporation, or use such
information for any purpose (including acquisition of an interest in leases or
reserves) other than for the benefit of ICN and with its full knowledge and
consent.

         (b) The provisions of Subsection (a) above shall not apply to any
information which (i) is now, or hereafter becomes, information in the public
domain through no act or failure to act by the Company or by Cifaldi or any of
its employees; or (ii) can be shown by the Company to have been received on a
nonconfidential basis from a third party who did not itself acquire same,
directly or indirectly, from ICN; provided, however, that with respect to items
(i) and (ii) above, the obligations of the Company and Cifaldi with respect to
the applicable item of data, material and/or other information shall terminate
only from and after the time of such general availability or receipt from such
third party, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the applicability of any of the
foregoing exceptions, in no event shall the Company or Cifaldi confirm to any
third party the accuracy or inaccuracy of such information, data, samples,
materials or other information or the relationship of same to ICN or any of its
facilities.

         (c) All written data and information and any materials furnished to the
Company or Cifaldi by or on behalf of ICN, and all copies, reproductions and
portions thereof, and all written data and information based on or derived
therefrom, and all documents or media containing any information covered by
Subsection (a) above, shall be and remain the exclusive property of ICN; and the
Company and Cifaldi agree promptly to deliver the same to ICN upon ICN's
request.

         (d) The Company or Cifaldi shall not be liable to ICN for disclosure of
any data, materials and/or other information received hereunder if such
disclosure is made pursuant to a governmental or judicial mandate, provided that
the Company or Cifaldi shall have given ICN immediate notice of such mandate
prior to the submission of said data, materials and/or other information
pursuant to such mandate and, provided further, that the Company and Cifaldi
shall

                                   Page 4 of 9

cooperate, with efforts ICN might take to intervene in any related proceedings
or to otherwise prevent such disclosure.

         (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and
Cifaldi each further agrees not to make any analysis of any samples or materials
furnished to the Company or Cifaldi by ICN and not to permit any third party to

engineer any ICN Proprietary Information, except as specifically authorized by
ICN in writing and then strictly in accordance with the terms of any such

         8. The Company and Cifaldi each acknowledges that ICN has advised them

Cifaldi each hereby indemnifies and holds ICN harmless from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, fines and taxes (including
