Exhibit 10.6

                              ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

THIS ACQUISITION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into on September 30,
1999, by and between SAFE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("SFAD") and JOHN D. COLODNY AND RUTH ANN SAUNDERS, (the
"Stockholders") as the shareholders of connect.ad, Inc., connect.ad of South
Florida, Inc., and connect.ad Services, Inc., each being a Florida corporation
(collectively, the "Companies").

                                   RECITALS

It is the intention of the parties hereto that all of the issued and outstanding
stock of the Companies shall be acquired by SFAD, in exchange for the issuance
of SFAD Common Stock to the Stockholders, as set forth herein. The issuance of
stock to the Stockholders is intended to qualify as a transaction in securities
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and under the applicable securities laws of the state or
jurisdiction where Stockholders reside, and the Acquisition is intended to
qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

                                    AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth herein and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

1.       Purchase and Sale. The Stockholders agree to sell, and SFAD agrees to
purchase, all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Companies
(the "Connect.ad Stock") for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000 US Dollars.
The parties agree that $225,000 of the purchase price shall be allocated to the
intangible assets of the Companies other than goodwill, $54,715 shall be
allocated to goodwill, and $20,285 shall be allocated to the tangible assets of
the Companies. The entire purchase price shall be paid by SFAD issuing to the
Stockholders 4,285,714 shares of SFAD common stock (the "SFAD Stock"). The SFAD
Stock shall be divided between the Stockholders in the same proportion as they
own the Connect.ad Stock. The exact number of shares of SFAD Stock to be issued
to the Stockholders will be based upon the appropriate number of shares, priced
at $.07 per share of SFAD Stock. The purchase price will be guaranteed for one
year from the date of closing. If, on the date that is one (1) year after the
closing (the "Anniversary Date"), the

                                        1

<PAGE>

aggregate Fair Value (as defined below) of the SFAD Stock issued to the
Stockholders is less than $300,000, then SFAD shall, within 10 days after the
Anniversary Date, either (as determined by SFAD) (i) pay the Stockholders in
cash an amount equal to the difference between $300,000 and the actual aggregate
Fair Value as of the Anniversary Date of the SFAD Stock issued to the
Stockholders (which difference is referred to as the "Makeup Amount") or (ii)
issue to the Stockholders additional shares of SFAD common stock equal to the
Makeup Amount divided by the actual Fair Value per share of the SFAD Stock as of
the Anniversary Date.

The Fair Value of a share of SFAD Stock for purposes of this Agreement shall be
determined as follows:

         (i) If the SFAD Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or
admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading
on The NASDAQ National Market, the current market value shall be the last
reported sale price of the SFAD Stock on such exchange or Market on the last
business day prior to the date in question or if no such sale is made on such
day, the average closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or
Market; or

         (ii) If the SFAD Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges, the current market value shall be the mean of the last reported bid
and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., on the last
business day prior to the date in question; or

         (iii) If the SFAD Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current
market value per share shall be an amount determined in such reasonable manner
as may be prescribed in good faith by the Board of Directors of SFAD.

2.       Consulting Agreement.  At closing, SFAD and John D. Colodny will enter
into the Consulting Agreement attached hereto.

Agreement, the Stockholders individually and not jointly, represent and
acknowledge to SFAD that:

(a)      They have been advised and are aware that the issuance of the SFAD
Stock to them will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any

made for one year after closing. In addition, notwithstanding the volume of

         6.5 Termination of Employment by Employee: Employee may terminate his
employment with TCPI:

                  6.5.1 Without Good Reason at any time upon thirty (30) days
                  prior written notice to TCPI.

                  6.5.2 At any time upon written notice to TCPI with Good
                  Reason. "Good Reason" shall mean:

                           (a) A material breach of the provisions of this
                           Agreement by TCPI and Employee provides at least
                           thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
                           President and at least two members of TCPI's Board of
                           Directors of the existence of such breach and his
                           intention to terminate this Agreement (no such
                           termination shall be effective if such breach is
                           cured during such period); or

                           (b) The failure of TCPI to meet its financial
                           obligations to Employee after (10) day written notice
                           to the President and at least two members of TCPI's
                           Board of Directors of such failure and Employee's
                           intention to terminate this Agreement.

         6.6 Effect of Termination/References. Any termination of employment
under this Agreement, whether or not voluntary, will automatically constitute a
resignation of Employee as an officer of TCPI and all subsidiaries of TCPI. In
the event that TPCI is contacted by persons seeking information concerning the
status of Employee or the circumstances surrounding such termination of
Employment, TCPI will only furnish to such persons the dates that Employee was
employed by TCPI, Employee's title, Employee's last salary and that Employee
resigned.

         7.1 Change in Control. In the event that within twenty-four (24) months
following the occurrence of a "Change of Control" there occurs a "Change of
Control Event" (as defined below), then Employee shall be entitled to receive
from TCPI the following:

                  7.1.1 Employee's annual Base Salary as in effect at the date
                  of termination, multiplied by two;

                  termination;

                  7.1.3 Accrued vacation pursuant to this Agreement;

                  under this Agreement;

                  7.1.5 All Options previously granted Employee shall become
                  immediately vested and exercisable at the option of Employee
                  for a one (1) year period following the Termination Date;
                  provided that any incentive stock options must be exercised
                  within three months of the Termination Date;

                  7.1.7 All benefits described in Paragraph 4.3 hereof, shall be
                  extended for a period of two years after the Termination Date
                  at TCPI's expense.

                  7.1.8 An amount that, on an after-tax basis (including federal
                  income and excise taxes, and state and local income taxes)
                  equals the federal income and excise taxes, and state and
                  local income taxes imposed upon Employee by reason of amounts
                  payable under this Article VII. For purposes of this clause

                  following the Termination Date.

         7.2 Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Change

                  Stock and Voting Securities immediately prior to such
                  acquisition in substantially the same proportion as their
                  ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of the
                  Outstanding Capital Stock and Voting Securities, as the case
                  may be, shall not constitute a Change of Control; or

                  Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to

                  individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof
                  whose election or nomination for election by TCPI's
                  shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of
                  the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be
                  considered as though such individual were a member of the
                  Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such
                  individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection
                  with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the
                  election of the Directors of TCPI (as such terms are used in
                  Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A, or any successor section,
                  promulgated under the Exchange Act); or

                  7.2.3 Approval by the shareholders of TCPI of a
                  reorganization, merger or consolidation (a "Business
                  Combination"), in each case, with respect to which all or
                  substantially all holders of the Outstanding Capital Stock and
                  Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business
                  Combination do not, following such Business Combination,
                  beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of,
                  respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and
                  the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
                  securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
                  directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting
                  from Business Combination; or

                  7.2.4 A complete liquidation or dissolution of TCPI or the
                  sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
                  assets of TCPI other than to a corporation with respect to
                  which, following such sale or disposition, more than 20% of,
                  respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and
                  the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
                  securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
                  directors is then owned beneficially, directly or indirectly,
                  by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities
                  who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the
                  Outstanding Capital Stock and Voting Securities immediately
                  prior to such sale or disposition in substantially the same
                  proportion as their ownership of the Outstanding Capital Stock
                  and Voting Securities, as the case may be, immediately prior
                  to such sale or disposition.

                  7.2.5 In the event that the beneficial ownership attributable
                  to Jack L. Aronowitz's ownership of the Outstanding Capital
                  Stock or Voting Securities of TCPI ("Aronowitz Shares") is
                  reduced to less than 20%, then the 20% threshold number
                  contained in the foregoing paragraphs of this Article VII
                  shall be reduced in direct proportion to such reduction, but
                  in no event, less than 15%. By way of

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  example, if the Aronowitz Shares are reduced to 18% of the
                  Outstanding Capital Stock or Voting Securities, then the 20%
                  provisos contained in the other paragraphs of Article VII
                  shall be reduced to 18%.

         7.3 For purposes of Article VII, a "Change of Control Event" shall
mean: (i) Employee's employment with TCPI is terminated by TCPI for any reason
whatsoever or (ii) Employee terminates this Agreement with Good Reason or (iii)
the assignment to Employee of any duties inconsistent with the position of
Employee pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or a reduction or alteration
in the nature or status of Employee's responsibilities from those specified in
Article II or(iv) reduction in Employee's Base Salary in effect on the date a
Change in Control occurs or (v) Employee is required to perform his duties at a
location greater than twenty-five (25) miles from the current headquarters of
TCPI for a period exceeding thirty (30) days during a twelve month period.

         7.4 The provisions of this paragraph 7.4 shall apply only within the
twenty-four month period immediately following a Change of Control. TCPI's
obligation to pay Employee the compensation and to make the arrangements
provided in this Article VII herein shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, duty to mitigate, or other right
that the TCPI may have against him or anyone else. The amount shall not be
reduced by reason of Employee's securing other employment or for any other
reason. All amounts payable by TCPI hereunder shall be paid without notice or
demand, and in no event later that seven business days after such payments
become due. Except as expressly provided herein, TCPI waives all rights that it
may now have or may hereafter have conferred upon it, by statute or otherwise,
to terminate, cancel or rescind this Agreement in whole or in part. Each and
every payment made hereunder by TCPI shall be final and TCPI will not seek to
recover all or any part of such payment from Employee or from whomsoever may be
entitled thereto, for any reason whatsoever. TCPI may withhold for income tax
purposes any amounts required to be withheld under applicable tax statutes and
regulations.
