      the
      Company to pay any installment of the Executive’s Base Salary or Referral Fees
      when such installment is due pursuant to this Agreement, which failure is not
      cured within fifteen (15) days; (c) any other breach or breaches of this
      Agreement by the Company, which breaches are, singularly or in the aggregate,

      Period.

     

    2.1.1 Expressly
      conditioned upon the closing (the “Closing”)
      under
      the Purchase Agreement and effective as of the date of the Closing (the
“Closing
      Date”),
      the
      Company hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts said
      employment and agrees to render services to the Company, on the terms and
      conditions set forth in this Agreement for the period (the "Employment
      Period")
      beginning on the Closing Date and ending when such period is terminated pursuant
      to the terms hereof. Unless earlier terminated by either the Company or the
      Executive as hereinafter provided, the Employment Period shall continue through
      the third (3rd)
      anniversary of the Closing Date ("Expiration
      Date");
      provided, however, that if this Agreement is renewed pursuant to Section
      2.1(b)
      below,
      then the “Expiration Date” for the then current “Renewal Term” (as hereinafter
      defined) shall be the date that is last day of the one year period of that
      Renewal Term). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary continued in this

      commencing at the expiration of the initial Employment Period or any subsequent
      renewal term (each, a "Renewal
      Term")
      unless
      the Company provides written notice of termination to the Executive not less
      than sixty (60) days prior to the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing
      or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the Employment Period shall
      immediately terminate prior to any Expiration Date (i) upon Executive’s death,
      Disability or termination for a Good Reason or (ii) upon termination by the
      Company for Cause; in all other circumstances, thirty (30) days' prior written
      notice is required by either party to the other to terminate this
      Agreement.

     

    2.2.  Duties. During
      the Employment Period, the Executive shall devote the necessary time, to the
      best of his ability and discretion, to work with other senior managers and
      the
      Board to execute the strategic plan approved by the Board. The Executive shall
      perform such services for the Company as is consistent with the Executive's
      position (subject to the power and authority of the Board to expand or limit
      such services and to overrule actions of officers of the Company) and as
      directed, from time to time, by the Board. The Executive’s initial title shall
      be Chairman of the Board of Directors. During the Employment Period the
      Executive shall report to the Board, and Executive may use such titles as
      assigned and approved by the Board. During the Employment Period, the Executive
      may be employed or involved in other business activities for gain, profit or
      other pecuniary advantages so long as such activities do not interfere with
      the
      performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company as provided
      hereunder or violate any of the terms of this or any other agreement entered
      into with the Company. 

     

    2.3.  Insurance.
      The
      Company may, at its discretion, apply for and procure in its own name and for
      its own benefit life and/or disability insurance on the Executive in any amount
      or amounts considered available. The Executive agrees to cooperate in any
      medical or other examination, supply any information and execute and deliver
      any
      applications or other instruments in writing as may be reasonably necessary
      to
      obtain and constitute such insurance. The Executive hereby represents that
      the
      Executive has no reason to believe that the Executive's life is not insurable
      at
      rates now prevailing for a healthy person of the Executive's gender and
      age.

     

    2.4.  Corporate
      Opportunity.
      The
      Executive agrees that, unless approved by the Board, he will not take personal
      advantage of any business opportunities which arise during his employment with
      the Company and which may be of benefit to the Company. All material facts
      regarding such opportunities must be promptly reported to the Board for
      consideration by the Company.

      the Employment Period, the Company shall pay the Executive an initial base
      salary of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) per year ("Base
      Salary")
      paid
      in approximately equal installments bi-weekly. The Company will review the
      Executive’s Base Salary on December 31 of each year of the Employment Period in
      order to determine what Base Salary adjustments, if any, shall be made, subject
      to an annual minimum increase of five percent (5%), but in no event may the
      Executive's Base Salary be reduced below that paid in the preceding
      year.

    3.2.  Annual
      Bonus.
      For
      calendar year 2006 (ending on or about December 31, 2006) and for each
      other calendar year that begins during the Employment Period (each such calendar
      year, a "Bonus
      Year"),
      the
      Executive shall be eligible to receive a bonus in an amount and on such terms
      as
      are established by the Company's Board up to fifty percent (50%) of the Base
      Salary (each, a "Bonus")
      in
      accordance with the bonus plan or formula applicable to the Executive. The
      2006
      Bonus shall be prorated to reflect that the 2006 Bonus Year is a partial year
      commencing on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2006. In
      addition, the Executive shall be eligible for any other bonus as the Board
      may
      determine in its sole discretion. Any Bonus for an applicable calendar year,
      or
      portion thereof, shall be paid to the Executive no later than the conclusion
      of
      the first calendar quarter following each calendar year.

     

    3.3.  Vacation
      and Benefits. The
      Executive shall continue to receive vacation, health insurance and other
      employee benefits as the Company makes available to other executives, as may
      exist at any particular time and from time to time during the Executive’s
      employment. 

     

    3.4.  Withholding.
      All
      payments required to be made by the Company hereunder to the Executive shall
      be
      subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other
      payroll deductions as the Company may reasonably determine should be withheld
      pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

     

    3.5.  Policies,
      Procedures & Benefit Plans.
      Except
      as otherwise provided herein, the Executive’s employment shall be subject to the
      policies and procedures which apply generally to the Company’s employees as the
      same may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time, during
      the Employment Period, by the Board in its sole discretion. The Executive agrees
      to comply with such policies and procedures in all material respects. During
      the
      Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any Company
      benefit plans on the same basis as other executive level employees of the
      Company. The Board reserves the right to change, alter, or terminate benefits,
      plans and carriers in its sole direction. All matters of eligibility for
      coverage or benefits under any health, hospitalization, life, disability, or
      other insurance plan, program or policy shall be determined in accordance with
      the provisions of the plan, program, or policy; the Company shall not be liable
      to the Executive, the Executive’s family, heirs, executors, or beneficiaries,
      for any payment payable or claimed to be payable under any such benefit plan,
      program, or policy. Provided that the Executive can be insured at standard
      rates, the Company shall provide the Executive a $1,000,000 life insurance
      policy with a reputable and responsible insurance company acceptable to the
      Company and the Executive.

     

    3.6.  Referral
      Fee. If,
      during the term of this Agreement, Executive identifies a potential new client
      for the Company (other than the federal government, or any agency or subdivision
      thereof), he shall promptly notify the Company in writing specifying the name
      of
      the target, the extent of his contact and the date upon which he has identified
      the potential client. Upon receipt of such notification, the Company will
      promptly acknowledge receipt of the notification and either (a) confirm to
      Executive that he has identified a potential new client (each an “Acknowledged
      New Target”),
      or
      (b) if the Company has independently of the Executive already identified such
      potential client, it will advise Executive and give him the date of the
      Company's prior contact and the nature and extent thereof. As to each
      Acknowledged New Target, the Executive will cooperate with the Company in
      broadening contact and establishing a dialogue. Any contracts that are entered
      into between the Company and an Acknowledged New Target during (i) the term
      of
      this Agreement, or (ii) within six (6) months after the Expiration Date, or
      if
      sooner terminated, the Termination Date, shall hereinafter be referred to
      individually as a “Referred
      Contract”
and
      collectively as the “Referred
      Contracts.”
      Contracts entered into with an Acknowledged New Target more than six (6) months

      business.

    3.6.1 For
      each
      Referred Contract the Company will pay Executive a referral fee equal to five
      percent (5%) of the “Gross Profits” (hereinafter defined) earned by the Company
      in each fiscal year (for each Referred Contract the “Referral
      Fee”
and
      for
      all of the Referred Contracts the “Referral
      Fees”).
      

     

    3.6.2 For
      purposes of this Section 3.6, the following terms shall have the following
      meanings:

     

    (i)  “Gross
      Profits”
with
      respect to a Referred Contract shall mean the “Gross Revenues” with respect to
      that Referred Contract (as defined below) less Cost of Goods/Services Sold
      with
      respect to that Referred Contract (as defined below).

     

    (ii)  “Gross
      Revenues”
with
      respect to any Referred Contract shall mean all revenue derived by the Company
      under that Referred Contract from the rendering of services and the sales of
      goods.

     

    (iii)  “Cost
      of Goods/Serviced Sold”
shall
      mean with respect to each Referred Contract the direct costs of the Company
      incurred by the Company in connection with generating the Gross Revenues which
      costs shall include, but not be limited to (A) the labor and expense costs
      of
      the Company’s employees and consultants (including allocable administrative
      costs); (B) direct vendor or supplier costs and other costs of goods, used
      or
      incorporated in or otherwise delivered to the customer under the Referred
      Contract (including shipping costs) and (C) the costs of services rendered
      by
      third-party contractors.

     

    3.6.3 The
      determination of Gross Profits, Gross Revenues and Cost of Goods/Services Sold
      with respect to each Referred Contract shall be made by the Company’s senior
      financial executive using generally accepted accounting principles applied
      on
      the accrual basis of accounting and a basis consistent with the manner in which
      the Company’s books and records are maintained. 

     

    3.6.4 The
      Referral Fee due with respect to each Referred Contract shall be calculated
      annually, based on the Company’s fiscal year and in connection with the
      preparation of the Company’s audited financials. Not later than ten (10) days
      after the release of the Company’s audited financials for the immediately
      preceding fiscal year the Company’s senior financial executive shall provide
      Executive with a statement (each a “Referral
      Fee Statement”)
      setting forth the calculation of the Referral Fees attributable to the Company’s
      immediately preceding fiscal year in such reasonable detail as to permit
      Executive to review and confirm the accuracy of such calculations. The Company
      shall also provide Executive with reasonable access, subject to appropriate
      confidentiality restrictions, to books and records appropriate to enable Seller
      to review and verify such calculations. Executive shall have fifteen (15) days
      following delivery of a Referral Fee Statement (each a “Disagreement
      Notice Period”)
      to
      disagree with Referral Fee Statement by written notice to the Company setting
      forth in reasonable detail the amount and nature of the disagreement (each
      a
“Notice
      of Disagreement”).
      If
      the Company does not receive a Notice of Disagreement from the Executive within
      the Disagreement Notice Period, the Executive shall be conclusively presumed
      to
      agree with the Referral Fee Statement and the Company shall promptly pay to
      the
      Executive the Referral Fees shown to be due on the Referral Fee Statement.
      If
      the Company receives a Notice of Disagreement from the Executive within the
      Disagreement Notice Period and if the Company and the Executive are unable
      to
      mutually agree upon a settlement of the disagreement within thirty (30) days
      after the delivery of the Notice of Disagreement to the Company, then the
      dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 9.

      on
      the Date of Termination and on the Expiration Date; provided,
      however,
      that if
      the Termination Date is within twenty four (24) months of the Expiration Date,

      Salary (at the rate effective as of the Termination Date), for a period

      (and
      subject to withholding pursuant to Section
      3.5
      above);
then
      commencing within
      fifteen (15) business days following the date on which the Release becomes
      effective pursuant to its terms, the Company will, for a period commencing
      on
      the Date of Termination and ending twelve (12) months from the Date of

      any
      other salary or compensation after termination of the Employment Period (other
      than as set forth in this Section
      5.2
      and
Section
      5.3)
      and no
      Person shall be entitled hereunder to participate in any employee benefit plan
      after the Date of Termination if the Employment Period is terminated in
      connection with this Section
      5.2,
      except
      as otherwise specifically provided hereunder or as required by applicable law
      (i.e., COBRA) and provided
      that
      nothing herein shall be interpreted to limit the Executive’s conversion rights,
      if any, under any of the Company’s employee benefit plans. In furtherance of and
      not in limitation of the foregoing, the Executive may only be terminated by
      the
      affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board (excluding the Executive
      if he
      is a member of the Board).

     

    5.3.  Cooperation
      with Company After Termination of Employment. For
      a
      period of six (6) months following termination of the Employment Period for
      any
      reason, as such period may be extended with the consent of the Executive, the
      Executive shall fully cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to

      above
      the provisions of Sections

    7.4.2 The
      Company at Company’s option, by written notice delivered to Executive not less
      than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current, applicable
      Restrictive Period, may extend the Restrictive Period (as previously extended
      under this Section 7.4(b)) for an additional twelve (12) months, provided that
      Company pays to Executive during the extended Restrictive Period an amount
      equal
      to the Executive’s Base Salary (at the rate effective as of the applicable
      Termination Date and over time and in the manner Executive would have received

    7.5.  Non-Disparagement.
      The
      Executive agrees not to make any public statement, or engage in any conduct,
      that is disparaging to the Company, or any of its employees, officers, directors
      or shareholders, including, but not limited to, any statement that disparages
      the products, services, finances, financial condition, capabilities or other
      aspects of the business of the Company. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary
      herein, the Executive shall not be in breach of this Section
      7
      for the
      making of any truthful statements under oath.

     

    7.6.  Reasonableness
      of Restrictions.
      The
      Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section
      7,
      and,
      having done so, agrees (a) that the restrictions set forth herein are
      reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (b)
      that the protection afforded to the Company hereunder is necessary to protect
      its legitimate business interests, (c) that the agreement to observe such
      restrictions form a material part of the consideration for this Agreement and
      the Executive's employment by the Company and (d) that upon the termination
      of
      the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, he will be able to
      earn a livelihood without violating the foregoing restrictions. In the event
      that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the provisions of this Section
      7
      shall be
      held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions thereof shall
      nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or
      unenforceable parts had not been included therein. In the event that any
      provision of this Section relating to the time period and/or the areas of
      restriction and/or related aspects shall be declared by a court of competent
      jurisdiction to exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems reasonable
      and enforceable, the time period and/or areas of restriction and/or related
      aspects deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall become and
      thereafter be the maximum restriction in such regard, and the restriction shall
      remain enforceable to the fullest extent deemed reasonable by such
      court.

    9.  ARBITRATION

     

    9.1.  The
      Executive and the Company mutually consent to the resolution by arbitration
      of
      certain claims or controversies (collectively, "Claims")
      arising out of or relating to the Executive's employment or termination of
      employment under this Agreement that either party may have against the other,
      including the Company’s officers, shareholders, directors, employees, or benefit
      plans, the benefit plans' sponsors, fiduciaries, administrators, or affiliates;
      and all successors and assigns of any of them, or agents in their capacity
      as
      such or otherwise. The Claims covered by this Agreement shall include claims
      for
      (a) wages or other compensation due; (b) breach of any contract or covenant
      (express or implied); tort claims; (c) discrimination (including but not limited
      to race, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, citizenship, marital
      status, or any other basis protected by any applicable federal, state or local
      law); (d) payment of wages; (e) benefits (except where an employee benefit
      or
      pension plan specifies that its claims procedure shall use an arbitration
      procedure different from this one); and (f) violation of any federal, state,
      or
      local law, statute, regulation, or ordinance, or recognized under common law.
      The Claims not covered by this Agreement shall include claims (g) for workers'
      compensation or unemployment compensation benefits; (h) brought pursuant to
      Sections
      6 or 10
      of this Agreement and breach of duty of loyalty; and (i) unrelated to the
      Employee's employment with the Company.

     

    9.2.  The
      arbitration shall be governed by the procedures of the American Arbitration
      Association ("AAA"),
      in
      accordance with its then-current Model Employment Arbitration Procedures and
      shall take place in the Washington-Metropolitan area.

     

    9.3.  If
      the
      parties to this Agreement become parties to an arbitration proceeding or
      litigation arising from or relating to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party
      shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing
      party in such arbitration or litigation.

     

    10.  GENERAL
      PROVISIONS

     

    10.1.  Assignment. The
      Company may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder
      in
      whole, but not in part, to any Company or other entity with or into which the
      Company or may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may
      transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said
      company or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume
      all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally
      made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights
      and obligations hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this
      Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
      consent of the Company. Notwithstanding such assignment, the Company shall
      remain a guarantor of the performance of all obligations owed by the Company
      to
      the Executive under this Agreement.

     

    10.2.  Notice.
      For the
      purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for
      in
      this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
      when delivered or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt
      requested, postage prepaid, or Federal Express, signature required, if to the
      Company, addressed to its corporate headquarters at the time notice is given,

      of Breach.
      No
      failure by either party to declare a default due to any breach of any obligation
      under this Agreement by the other, nor failure by either party to act quickly
      with regard thereto, shall be considered to be a waiver of any such obligation,
      or of any future breach.

     

    10.5.  Severability.
      In the
      event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to

      Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and
      effect.

      Law.
      To the
      extent not preempted by Federal law, the validity and effect of this Agreement
      and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and
      determined in accordance with the law of the State of Maryland, without giving
      effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether
      of
      the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
      application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
      Maryland.

     

    10.7.  Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
      hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
      agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter, whether oral
      or

      with the Company which shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.
      

     

    10.8.  Binding
      Effect.
      This
      Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
      transferees, successors and assigns of the Company, including without limitation
      any company with which the Company may merge or consolidate.

     

    10.9.  Headings.

      Section

      notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Employment
      Period.

     

    10.11.  No
      Strict Construction.
      The
      language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by
      the
      parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
      construction shall be applied against any party.

     

    10.12.  Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including by means of
      facsimile), each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken
      together constitute one and the same agreement.

     

    10.13.  Indemnification
      of the Executive. The
      Company shall, to the extent permitted by the Bylaws of the Company, in a manner
      as applied to other officers of the Company, indemnify, protect and hold the
      Executive harmless from and against any expenses, including reasonable
      attorneys' fees and expenses, claims, judgments, fines, settlements and other
      amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding
      arising out of, or related to, the Executive's employment by the Company or
      any
      of its Subsidiaries. The Company shall cause the Executive to be covered under
      directors and officers liability insurance policies in reasonable amounts in
      accordance with the Company's standard corporate policies.

    10.14.  Injunctive
      Relief.
      The
      Executive represents and acknowledges that, in light of the payments to be
      made
      by the Company to the Executive hereunder and for other good and valid reasons,
      as a result of the restrictions stated in the Assignment Agreement and the
      restrictions referenced in Sections 7
      hereof,
      the Company and its affiliated companies would sustain irreparable harm and,
      therefore, in addition to any other remedies which the Company may have under
      this Agreement or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to apply to any
      court
      of competent jurisdiction for an injunction restraining the Executive from
      committing or continuing any such violation of this Agreement, and the Executive
      shall not object to such application.

    EXHIBIT
      A

    

    SEPARATION
      FROM EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

     

    1. This
      agreement is between the Executive, Harvey L. Weiss, the Executive’s spouse,
      family, agents and attorneys) (jointly, the "Executive") and Fortress
      International Group, Inc. (the "Company"), its subsidiaries, affiliated
      entities, direct or indirect owners and its and their respective officers,
      directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, purchasers, assigns,
      representatives, fiduciaries, and insurers (jointly, the "Released
      Parties").

    2. If
      the
      Executive signs this agreement and does not revoke it, the Executive will
      receive the applicable severance payments and benefits set forth in Section
      5
      of the
      Executive’s Executive Employment Agreement, dated __________ _____, 2006 (the
      "Employment Agreement").

    3. The
      Executive, deeming this Agreement to be fair, reasonable, and equitable, and
      intending to be legally bound hereby, agrees to and hereby does, forever and
      irrevocably fully release and discharge the Released Parties from any and all
      grievances, liens, suits, judgments, claims, demands, debts, defenses, actions
      or causes of action, obligations, damages (whether compensatory, punitive or
      otherwise), and liabilities whatsoever which the Executive now has, has had,
      or
      may have, whether the same be known or unknown, vested or contingent, at law,
      in
      equity, or mixed, in any way arising out of or relating in any way to any
      matter, act, occurrence, or transaction before the date of this General Release
      Agreement, including but not limited to his employment with Company, the
      Executive's separation from Company and the Executive's employment agreement
      with the Company (collectively, "Claims"). This
      is a General Release.
      The
      Executive expressly acknowledges that this General Release includes, but is
      not
      limited to, the Executive's release of any tort and contract claims, arbitration
      claims, claims under any local, state or federal wage and hour law, wage
      collection law or labor relations law, and claims of age, race, sex, religion,
      disability, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, retaliation or any other
      claim of employment discrimination, under the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and
      1991
      as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq.),
      the
      Age Discrimination In Employment Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et
      seq.),
      the
      Americans With Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et seq.),
      the
      Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. §§ 701 et seq.),
      the
      Family and Medical Leave Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 2601 et seq.),
      the
      Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 201 et seq.),
      and
      any other law prohibiting employment discrimination or relating to employment.
      Also, the Executive understands that this General Release Agreement is not
      an
      admission of liability under any statute or otherwise by the Released Parties,
      and that the Released Parties do not admit but deny any violation of his legal
      rights, and that he shall not be regarded as a prevailing party for any purpose,
      including but not limited to, determining responsibility for or entitlement
      to
      attorneys’ fees, under any statute or otherwise. The Executive agrees that in
      the event the Executive brings a Claim in which the Executive seeks damages
      or
      other relief from any Released Party, or in the event the Executive seeks to
      recover against any Released Party in any Claim brought by a governmental agency
      on the Executive’s behalf, this Agreement shall serve as a complete defense to
      such Claims.

    4. The
      claims and causes of action the Executive is releasing and waiving include,
      but
      are not limited to, any and all claims and causes of action that any Released
      Party:

    ·  has
      violated its personnel policies, handbooks, contracts of employment, or
      covenants of good faith and fair dealing between the Executive and the
      Company;

     

    ·  has
      discriminated against the Executive on the basis of age, race, color, sex
      (including sexual harassment), national origin, ancestry, disability, religion,
      sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, source of income,
      entitlement to benefits, any union activities or other protected category in
      violation of any local, state or federal law, constitution, ordinance, or
      regulation, including but not limited to: the Age Discrimination in Employment
      Act, as amended; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; 42
      U.S.C. § 1981, as amended; the Equal Pay Act; the Americans With
      Disabilities Act; the Family Medical Leave Act; the Employee Retirement Income
      Security Act; Section 510; and the National Labor Relations Act.

     

    ·  has
      violated any statute, public policy or common law (including but not limited
      to
      claims for retaliatory discharge; negligent hiring, retention or supervision;
      defamation; intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress and/or
      mental anguish; intentional interference with contract; negligence; and/or
      detrimental reliance).

    5. Excluded
      from this Agreement are any claims which cannot be waived by law. The Executive
      is waiving, however, the Executive’s right to any monetary recovery should any
      agency, such as the EEOC, pursue any claims on the Executive’s
      behalf.

    6. The
      Executive also agrees that the Executive has been paid for all hours worked,
      including any overtime bonus or other incentive compensation, has submitted
      all
      invoices and expense reports, and has not
      suffered any on-the-job injury for which the Executive has not already filed
      a
      claim.

    7. The
      Executive agrees that every term of this Agreement, including, but not limited
      to, the fact that an agreement has been reached and the amount paid, shall
      be
      treated by the Executive as strictly confidential, and expressly covenants
      not
      to display, publish, disseminate, or disclose the terms of this Agreement to
      any
      person or entity other than the Executive’s immediate family, the Executive’s
      attorney(s) (for purposes of seeking advice concerning this agreement only)
      and
      the Employee’s accountant(s) (for purposes of seeking tax advice only), unless
      compelled to make disclosure by lawful court order or subpoena. 

    8. The
      Executive and the Company have entered into an Assignment of Invention,
      Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement ("NDA
      Agreement"). The Executive reaffirms his obligation to comply with all of the
      post termination obligations in the NDA Agreement.

    9. The
      Executive also agrees that:

    ·  The
      Executive is entering into this agreement knowingly and
      voluntarily;

     

    ·  The
      Executive has been advised by the Company to consult an attorney;

     

    ·  The
      Executive has been given the right to take [21/45]
      days
      (the "Consideration Period") to consider this agreement; provided, however
      the
      Employee and the Company hereby agree that if there is a dispute as to the
      payment of wages such that the Executive is unable to make the representation
      set forth in Section
      6
      as to
      payment for hours worked (including any overtime bonus or other incentive
      compensation), the Consideration Period shall terminate on the later of the
      natural expiration of the Consideration Period or the date that is one day
      after
      the resolution of all claims regarding wages;

     

    ·  But
      for
      the Executive's execution of this agreement, the Executive would not otherwise
      be entitled to the payments described in paragraph 2;

     

    ·  if
      any
      part of this agreement is found to be illegal or invalid, the rest of the
      agreement will be enforceable; and

     

    ·  this
      agreement has been individually negotiated between the Executive and the Company
      and is not part of a group exit incentive or other group employment termination
      program. The Executive and the Company agree that the sole reason for the
      termination of the Executive’s employment is a business reorganization and
      reduction in force of the Company’s [INSERT DEPARTMENT OR JOB CLASSIFICATION]
      which is occurring on [INSERT DATE]. All individuals who are being terminated
      in
      the [INSERT DATE] reduction in force will be eligible for benefits based upon
      their execution of a release identical to this release. The Executive
      acknowledges by signing this Agreement that the Executive understands that
      the
      Executive is eligible for the benefits which the Executive will receive
      contingent upon the Executive executing this release, because the Executive
      was
      part of this reduction in force. As is more fully set forth in Attachment B,
      this reduction in force will affect [NUMBER AFFECTED] other executives on
      [DATE].

    10. After
      the
      Executive signs this agreement, the Executive will have 7 days to revoke it.
      If
      the Executive wants to revoke it, the Executive should deliver a written
      revocation to __________ . If the Executive does not revoke it, the Executive
      will receive the payment described in Paragraph 2.

      to
      me) during the period of or arising out of my employment by the Company. I
      understand that various intellectual and other property rights have been
      assigned or otherwise conveyed to the Company. All information concerning the
      above described activities and information is collectively called "Proprietary
      Information" under this Agreement.

     

    3.           
      By
      way of
      illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information includes: trade
      secrets, processes, formulas, data and know-how; software programs,
      improvements, and inventions; research and development plans, tools and
      techniques; new product introduction plans, specifications, requirements
      documents and strategies; manufacturing techniques, strategies and costs,
      expenses, supplier information and lists and distribution information; terms
      and
      conditions in contracts of all kinds; marketing plans, strategies and service;

      disclosures and customer lists.

     

    4.           
      In
      consideration of my employment by the Company and the compensation received
      by
      me from the Company from time to time, I hereby agree as follows:

    (a)          
      All
      Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company, and the
      Company shall be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights, trademarks and
      other
      rights related to Proprietary Information. I hereby assign to the Company any
      rights I may have or acquire in Proprietary Information. At all times, both
      during and after my employment by the Company, I will keep in confidence and
      trust all Proprietary Information, and I will not use or disclose any
      Proprietary Information or anything related to it without written consent of
      the
      Company, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing my
      duties to the Company.

     

    (b)         
      All
      documents, records, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether
      or
      not pertaining to Proprietary Information, furnished to me by the Company or
      produced by myself or others in connection with employment by the Company shall
      be and remain the sole property of the Company, shall be used by me solely
      for
      the benefit of the Company and shall be returned to the Company immediately

      I
      shall return and deliver all such property to the Company upon termination
      of my
      employment by me or by the Company for any reason. I will not take with me
      any
      such property or any form of copy or reproduction of such property upon my
      termination.

     

    (c)          
      I
      will
      promptly disclose to the Company, or any persons designated by it, all
      improvements, inventions, formulas, ideas, processes, techniques, know-how
      and
      data, whether or not patentable, made or conceived or reduced to practice or
      learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my
      employment (all said improvements, inventions, formulas, ideas, processes,
      techniques, know-how and data shall be hereinafter collectively call
      "Inventions").

     

    (d)          
      I
      agree
      that all Inventions that I develop or have developed (in whole or in part,
      either alone or jointly with others) and (i) use or have used equipment,
      supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the Company, or (ii) use
      or
      have used the hours for which I am to be or was compensated by the Company,
      or
      (iii) which relate to the business of the Company or to its actual or
      demonstrably anticipated research and development or (iv) which result, in
      whole
      or in part, from work performed by me for the Company shall be the sole property
      of the Company and its assigns, and the Company and its assigns shall be the
      sole owner of all patents, copyrights and other rights in connection therewith.
      I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such
      Inventions. I further agree as to all such inventions and improvements to assist
      the Company in every proper way (but at the Company’s expense) to obtain and
      from time to time enforce patents, copyrights or other rights on said inventions
      and improvements in any and all countries, and to that end I will execute all
      documents in use for applying for and obtaining such patents and copyrights
      thereon and enforcing same, as the Company may desire, together with any
      assignments thereof to the Company or persons designated by it. My obligation
      to
      assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing patents, copyrights or other
      rights for such inventions and improvements in any and all countries shall
      continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall
      compensate me at a reasonable rate after such termination for time actually
      spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance.

    (e)           
      In
      the
      event that the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure my
      signature to any lawful and necessary document required to apply for or execute
      any patent, copyright or other applications with respect to such inventions
      and
      improvements (including renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions or
      continuations in part thereof), I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint
      the
      Company and its authorized officers and agents, as my agents and
      attorneys-in-fact, this power of attorney being coupled with an interest, to
      act
      for and in my behalf and instead of me, to execute and file any such application
      and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and
      issuance of patents, copyrights or other rights thereon with the same legal
      force and effect as if executed by me.

     

    (f)           
      As
      a
      matter of record, on Attachment
      A,
      I have
      attached a complete list of all inventions or improvements relevant to the
      subject matter of my employment by the Company which have been made or conceived
      or first reduced to practice by me alone or jointly with others prior to my
      employment with the Company that I desire to remove from the operation of this
      Agreement, and I covenant that such list is complete. If no such list is signed
      by me and attached to this Agreement, I represent and warrant that I have no
      such inventions or improvements at the time of signing this Agreement, and
      I
      agree that I will make no claim against the Company with respect to any such
      inventions or ideas.

     

    (g)          
      I
      represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach
      any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me
      in
      confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered
      into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral
      in
      conflict with this Agreement.

     

    (h)          
      I
      acknowledge that the Company from time to time may be involved in government
      projects of a classified nature. I further acknowledge that the Company from
      time to time may have agreements with other persons or governmental agencies
      which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions
      made during the course of work thereunder or regarding the confidential nature
      of such work or information disclosed in connection therewith. I agree to be
      bound by all such obligations and restrictions and to take all action necessary
      to discharge the obligations of the Company thereunder.

     

    (i)            
      I
      represent and warrant that execution of this Agreement, my employment with
      the
      Company and my performance of my proposed duties to the Company in the
      development of its business have not and will not violate any obligations which
      I may have to any former employer.

                agree that at no time during my employment by the Company or thereafter
                shall I make, or cause or assist any other person to make, any statement
                or other communication to any third party which impugns or attacks,
                or is
                otherwise critical of, the reputation, business or character of the
                Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors,
                officers or employees.

      Agreement may not be changed, modified, released, discharged, abandoned or
      otherwise amended, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing,
      signed by myself and a majority of the members of the Board.
      I
      agree that any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation
      shall not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

      4
      are
      reasonable in all respects including the scope, duration and geographic
      limitations. I agree that the restrictions are an appropriate means of
      protecting the Company’s legitimate business interests, and no greater than
      necessary to protect the Company’s interests. I acknowledge that these
      restrictions will not unreasonably interfere with my ability to make a
      living.

      agreements set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable
      consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
      Consultant and the Company agree as follows:

     

    AGREEMENT

     

    Section

      adjustments, if any, shall be made, subject to an annual minimum increase of
      five percent (5%), but in no event may the Base Fee be reduced below that paid
      in the preceding year.

     

    (ii) For
      calendar year 2006 (ending on or about December 31, 2006) and for each other
      calendar year that begins during the Consulting Period (each such calendar
      year,
      a "Bonus Year"), the Consultant shall be eligible to receive a bonus in an
      amount and on such terms as are established by the Company's Board up to fifty
      percent (50%) of the Base Fee (each, a "Bonus") in accordance with the bonus
      plan or formula applicable to the Consultant. The 2006 Bonus will be prorated
      to
      reflect that the 2006 Bonus Year is a partial year commencing on the Closing
      Date and ending on December 31, 2006. In addition, Consultant shall be eligible
      for any other bonus as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole
      discretion. Any Bonus for an applicable calendar year, or portion thereof,
      shall
      be paid to the Consultant no later than the conclusion of the first calendar
      quarter following each calendar year.

     

    (b) Referral
      Fee.
      If,
      during the term of this Agreement, Consultant identifies a potential new client
      for the Company (other than the federal government, or any agency or subdivision
      thereof), it shall promptly notify the Company in writing specifying the name
      of
      the target, the extent of its contact and the date upon which it has identified
      the potential client. Upon receipt of such notification, the Company will
      promptly acknowledge receipt of the notification and either (i) confirm to
      Consultant that it has identified a potential new client (each an “Acknowledged
      New Target”),
      or
      (ii) if the Company has independently of the Consultant already identified
      such
      potential client, it will advise Consultant and give it the date of the
      Company's prior contact and the nature and extent thereof. As to each
      Acknowledged New Target, the Consultant will cooperate with the Company in
      broadening contact and establishing a dialogue. Any contracts that are entered
      into between the Company and an Acknowledged New Target during (i) the term
      of
      this Agreement, or (ii) within six (6) months after the Expiration Date, or
      if
      sooner terminated, the Termination Date shall hereinafter be referred to
      individually as a “Referred
      Contract”
and
      collectively as the “Referred
      Contracts.”
      Contracts entered into with an Acknowledged New Target more than six (6) months
      after the Expiration Date (or Termination Date, as applicable) shall not be
      deemed to be Referred Contracts. The Consultant shall not identify potential
      clients on a blanket basis, but shall only identify clients with which he has
      made specific contact and which appear to be viable prospects for new
      business.

    (i) For
      each
      Referred Contract the Company will pay Consultant a referral fee equal to five
      percent (5%) of the “Gross Profits” (hereinafter defined) earned by the Company
      in each fiscal year (for each Referred Contract the “Referral
      Fee”
and
      for
      all of the Referred Contracts the “Referral
      Fees”).
      

     

    (ii) For
      purposes of this Section 3.6, the following terms shall have the following
      meanings:

     

    (A) “Gross
      Profits”
with
      respect to a Referred Contract shall mean the “Gross Revenues” with respect to
      that Referred Contract (as defined below) less Cost of Goods/Services Sold
      with
      respect to that Referred Contract.

     

    (B) “Gross
      Revenues”
with
      respect to any Referred Contract shall mean all revenue derived by the Company
      under that Referred Contract from the rendering of services and the sales of
      goods.

     

    (C) “Cost
      of Goods/Serviced Sold”
shall
      mean with respect to each Referred Contract the direct costs of the Company
      incurred by the Company in connection with generating the Gross Revenues which
      costs shall include, but not be limited to (1) the labor and expense costs
      of
      the Company’s employees and consultants (including allocable administrative
      costs); (2) direct vendor or supplier costs and other costs of goods, used
      or
      incorporated in or otherwise delivered to the customer under the Referred
      Contract (including shipping costs) and (3) the costs of services rendered
      by
      third-party contractors.

     

    (iii) The
      determination of Gross Profits, Gross Revenues and Cost of Goods/Services Sold
      with respect to each Referred Contract shall be made by the Company’s senior
      financial Consultant using generally accepted accounting principles applied
      on
      the accrual basis of accounting and a basis consistent with the manner in which
      the Company’s books and records are maintained. 

     

    (iv) The
      Referral Fee due with respect to each Referred Contract shall be calculated
      annually, based on the Company’s fiscal year and in connection with the
      preparation of the Company’s audited financials. Not later than ten (10) days
      after the release of the Company’s audited financials for the immediately
      preceding fiscal year the Company’s senior financial Consultant shall provide
      Consultant with a statement (each “Referral
      Fee Statement”)
      setting forth the calculation of the Referral Fees attributable to the Company’s
      immediately preceding fiscal year in such reasonable detail as to permit
      Consultant to review and confirm the accuracy of such calculations. The Company
      shall also provide Consultant with reasonable access, subject to appropriate
      confidentiality restrictions, to books and records appropriate to enable Seller
      to review and verify such calculations. Consultant shall have fifteen (15)
      days
      following delivery of a Referral Fee Statement (each a “Disagreement
      Notice Period”)
      to
      disagree with Referral Fee Statement by written notice to the Company setting
      forth in reasonable detail the amount and nature of the disagreement (each
      a
“Notice
      of Disagreement”).
      If
      the Company does not receive a Notice of Disagreement from the Consultant within
      the Disagreement Notice Period, the Consultant shall be conclusively presumed
      to
      agree with the Referral Fee Statement and the Company shall promptly pay to
      the
      Consultant the Referral Fees shown to be due on the Referral Fee Statement.
      If
      the Company receives a Notice of Disagreement from the Consultant within the
      Disagreement Notice Period and if the Company and the Consultant are unable
      to
      mutually agree upon a settlement of the disagreement within thirty (30) days
      after the delivery of the Notice of Disagreement to the Company, then the
      dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 9.

    (c) Expenses.
      The
      Company shall reimburse Consultant for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
      (including, without limitation, travel and lodging) incurred by Consultant,
      its
      managers, partners and other individuals whose compensation is reflected as
      compensation expense on Consultant’s financial statements in connection with
      providing the Services hereunder.

     

    (d) Late
      Payment.
      Any

      at the rate of [__%] per annum, compounded monthly.

     

    Section
      5. Termination.

     

    (a) Termination
      For Cause or By the Consultant.
      If the
      Consulting Period is terminated (i) by the Company for “Cause” (as hereinafter
      defined); or (ii) by the Consultant (other than for a Good Reason); then the
      Consultant shall only be entitled to receive (A) the Base Fee and the
      reimbursement of any applicable expenses pursuant to Paragraph 4 through the
      date of termination (the “Termination Date”) and (B) the Referral Fees as and
      when payable pursuant to the Paragraph 4(b); provided that the Expiration Date
      for purposes of calculating the Referred Contracts and the Referral Fees shall
      be the Termination Date rather than the Expiration Date. For purposes of this
      Agreement the terms “Cause” and “Good Reason” and “Change in Control” shall have
      the following meanings.

     

    (i) Termination
      of the Consultants engagement under this Agreement for "Cause" shall mean any

      the following: 

     

    (A) any
      act
      that would constitute a material violation of this Agreement or Company’s
      material written policies provided that the Company specifically terminates
      the
      Consultant’s engagement for Cause hereunder within 120 calendar days from the
      date the Company has actual notice of such; or

     

    (B) intentionally
      engaging in conduct materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company
      provided that the Company specifically terminates the Consultant’s engagement
      for Cause hereunder within 120 calendar days from the date the Company has
      actual notice of such.

    A
      termination for Cause after a Change in Control shall be based only on events
      occurring after such Change in Control; provided, however, the foregoing
      limitation shall not apply to an event constituting Cause which was not
      discovered by the Company prior to a Change in Control. Cause shall be
      determined in good faith by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole
      Board of Directors (excluding any board member that may be affiliated with
      the
      Consultant). 

     

    (ii) "Change
      in Control of the Company"
      means
      (A) a sale, transfer or exclusive licensing by the Company of all or
      substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a

      States generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied or fair
      market value determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Board)
      in
      any transaction or series of transactions (other than sales in the ordinary
      course of business); (B) any sale, transfer or issuance or series of sales,
      transfers and/or issuances of shares of the Company's capital stock by the
      Company or any holders thereof which results in any Person or Persons, other
      than the holders of Company’s capital stock as of the date hereof, owning
      capital stock of the Company possessing the voting power (under ordinary
      circumstances) to elect a majority of the Board of Directors; (C) the
      stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company
      with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would
      result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
      thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
      converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the
      total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such
      surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation;
      or
      (D) the stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of complete liquidation
      of the Company.

     

    (iii) “Good
      Reason"
      shall
      mean termination by the Consultant due to: (a) the failure of the Company to
      pay

      days;

      addition to the payment to the Consultant of the Base Fee, the Referral Fees
      and
      the reimbursement of any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 4(c) through
      the Date of Termination, if (i) the Consulting Period is terminated (A) by
      the
      Company for reasons other than Cause, or (B) by the Consultant for a Good
      Reason, or (C) in accordance with the terms of Section 3(b) hereof (provided
      the
      Company provides the requisite notice to the Consultant to terminate prior
      to
      any Expiration Date); and (ii) the Consultant executes a general release in
      the
      form attached hereto as Exhibit
      A
      (the
      "Release")
      on or
      before the effective Date of Termination; and (iii) the Consultant has not
      breached the terms of the “Assignment Agreement” (as defined below); then the
      Company shall pay the Consultant an amount equal to the Base Fee (at the rate
      in
      effect at the Date of Termination) for a period commencing on the Date of
      Termination and on the Expiration Date; provided, however, that if the
      Termination Date is within twelve (12) months of the Expiration Date, then
      the
      Company shall pay the Consultant an amount equal to the Base Fee (at the rate
      effective as of the Termination Date), for a period commencing on the
      Termination Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Termination
      Date. Any payment under this Section
      5(b)
      shall be
      made over time as though the Consultant continued to be retained by the Company.

    (c) Cooperation
      with Company After Termination of Engagement.
      For a
      period of six (6) months following termination of the Consulting Period for
      any
      reason, as such period may be extended with the consent of Consultant, the
      Consultant shall fully cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to
      the
      winding up of pending work on behalf of the Company including, but not limited
      to, any litigation in which the Company is involved, and the orderly transfer
      of
      any pending work to the Company as may be designated by the Company. The
      Consultant shall be compensated for any time spent pursuant to this Section
      5(c)
      at the specific request of the Company at a per diem amount based upon the
      Base
      Fee at the Date of Termination.

      terminate it, they shall do so by separate agreement setting forth the terms
      and
      conditions of such termination.

      the applicable “Restrictive Period” (as hereinafter defined), the Consultant
      shall not directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person
      or entity, whether as principal, agent, stockholder, employee, consultant,

      is
      actively soliciting as of the Termination Date (for the purpose of selling
      products or services similar to any of the products and services offered for
      sale by the Company as of the Termination Date).

     

    (b) Covenant
      Not-to-Solicit Employees.
      Subject
      to Section 7(d) below, during Consultant’s engagement with the Company and from
      the Termination Date through the applicable Restrictive Period , Consultant
      shall not directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person

      representative or in any other capacity:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (i) recruit,
      solicit or encourage any person to leave the employ of the Company or any of
      its
      subsidiaries; or

     

    (ii) hire

      of
      the business operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subject to Section

      applicable Restrictive Period, Consultant shall not, without the prior written
      consent of the Company, for itself or on behalf of any other person or entity,

      purchasing or owning stock in any such competitive business if such stock is
      publicly traded, and provided that his holdings do not exceed one percent (1%)
      of the issued and outstanding capital stock of such business. Notwithstanding,
      anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, including, but not limited
      to this Section 7(c), nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Consultant,
      or its employee and owner, C. Thomas McMillan from owning, managing, operating,
      controlling, or otherwise being involved or employed directly, or indirectly
      by
      CyberLynk Network, Inc.

     

    (d) Reduction
      and Extension of Restrictions.
      

     

    (i) Notwithstanding

      than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current, applicable
      Restrictive Period, may extend the Restrictive Period (as previously extended
      under this Section 7.4(b)) for an additional twelve (12) months, provided that
      Company pays to Consultant during the extended Restrictive Period an amount
      equal to the Consultant’s Base Fee (at the rate effective as of the applicable
      Termination Date and over time and in the manner Consultant would have received
      these payments had it continued to be engaged by the Company.

     

    (e) Definition
      of Restriction Period.

     

    For
      purposes of this Agreement the term “Restrictive Period” shall have the
      following meanings.

     

    (i) If
      Consultant’s engagement under this Agreement is terminated prior to the third
      (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, then the Restrictive Period shall be
      the
      period from the Termination Date through the third anniversary of the Closing
      Date (or if the Termination Date is within twelve (12) months of the third
      anniversary of the Closing Date, then for a period of one (1) year measured
      from
      the Termination Date through the first anniversary of the Termination Date).
      

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (ii) Subject
      to Section 7(d) above, if Consultant’s engagement is terminated after the third
      anniversary of the Closing Date, then the Restrictive Period shall be the twelve
      month period measured from the Termination Date through the first anniversary
      of
      the Termination Date.

     

    (f) Non-Disparagement.
      The
      Consultant agrees not to make any public statement, or engage in any conduct,
      that is disparaging to the Company, or any of its employees, officers, directors
      or shareholders, including, but not limited to, any statement that disparages
      the products, services, finances, financial condition, capabilities or other
      aspects of the business of the Company. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary
      herein, the Consultant and its employees shall not be in breach of this Section
      7 for the making of any truthful statements under oath.

     

    (g) Reasonableness
      of Restrictions.
      The
      Consultant has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section
      7,
      and, having done so, agrees (i) that the restrictions set forth herein are
      reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii)
      that the protection afforded to the Company hereunder is necessary to protect
      its legitimate business interests, (iii) that the agreement to observe such
      restrictions form a material part of the consideration for this Agreement and
      the Consultant’s engagement by the Company and (iv) that upon the termination of
      the Consultant’s engagement with the Company for any reason, Consultant will be
      able to continue in its business without violating the foregoing restrictions.
      In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the provisions of
      this
      Section 7 shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions
      thereof shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the
      invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included therein. In the event
      that
      any provision of this Section relating to the time period and/or the areas
      of
      restriction and/or related aspects shall be declared by a court of competent
      jurisdiction to exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems reasonable
      and enforceable, the time period and/or areas of restriction and/or related
      aspects deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall become and

    Section
      9. Arbitration
      

     

    (a) Consultant
      and the Company mutually consent to the resolution by arbitration of certain
      claims or controversies (collectively, "Claims")
      arising out of or relating to Consultant's engagement or termination of
      engagement under this Agreement that either party may have against the other,
      including the Company’s officers, shareholders, directors, employees, or benefit
      plans, the benefit plans' sponsors, fiduciaries, administrators, or affiliates;
      and all successors and assigns of any of them, or agents in their capacity
      as
      such or otherwise. The Claims covered by this Agreement shall include claims
      for
      (i) wages or other compensation due; (ii) breach of any contract or covenant
      (express or implied); tort claims; (iii) discrimination (including but not
      limited to race, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, citizenship,
      marital status, or any other basis protected by any applicable federal, state
      or
      local law); (iv) payment of wages; (v) benefits (except where an employee
      benefit or pension plan specifies that its claims procedure shall use an
      arbitration procedure different from this one); and (vi) violation of any
      federal, state, or local law, statute, regulation, or ordinance, or recognized
      under common law. 

     

    (b) The
      arbitration shall be governed by the procedures of the American Arbitration
      Association ("AAA"),
      in
      accordance with its then-current Model Employment Arbitration Procedures and
      shall take place in the Washington-Metropolitan area.

     

    (c) If
      the
      parties to this Agreement become parties to an arbitration proceeding or
      litigation arising from or relating to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party
      shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing
      party in such arbitration or litigation.

     

    Section
      10. Indemnification.

     

    (a) The
      Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Consultant and Consultant
      Personnel against and from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs,
      damages, expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including
      reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising from any source, including, without
      limitation, from any threatened, pending or completed actions or lawsuits
      whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by or in the right
      of
      the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, arising from the performance
      of
      the Services, except insofar as such may arise solely from the indemnified
      party’s gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing (including intentional
      violation of applicable national security requirements). The Company shall
      be
      entitled to direct the defense of any claim for which Consultant alleges that
      it
      is obligated to provide indemnification, at the Company’s expense, but such
      defense shall be conducted by legal counsel mutually agreed to by the Company
      and Consultant. The Company agrees to keep Consultant informed on a timely
      basis
      of the status of all legal proceedings relating to this indemnification and
      shall provide copies of all documents relating to the legal proceedings to
      Consultant or, at Consultant’s request, its legal counsel. The Company further
      agrees that it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any
      judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding without the
      prior written consent of Consultant. Consultant agrees to promptly notify the
      Company of any proceeding or investigation which may be the subject of an
      indemnity demand hereunder. The failure to provide such prompt notice shall
      not
      affect the Company’s obligation to provide indemnity hereunder except to the
      extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final
      judgment that such failure primarily and directly adversely prejudiced in a
      material respect the defense of the claim by the Company.

    (b) Expenses
      incurred in defending any threatened or pending civil, criminal, administrative
      or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in
      advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon
      receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay
      such
      amount if it is ultimately determined, in a final non-appealable judgment of
      a
      court of competent jurisdiction, that the indemnified party is not entitled
      to
      be indemnified against such expenses solely as a result of the indemnified
      party’s gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing. This undertaking by the
      indemnified party shall be an unqualified general undertaking, and no security
      for such undertaking will be required.

     

    (c) All
      of
      Consultant’s and the other indemnified parties’ rights and obligations under
      this Section
      10
      will
      continue even after this Agreement has been terminated for any
      reason.

     

    Section
      11. Injunctive
      Relief.
      The
      Consultant represents and acknowledges that, in light of the payments to be
      made
      by the Company to the Consultant hereunder and for other good and valid reasons,
      as a result of the restrictions stated in the Assignment Agreement and the
      Restrictions in Section 7 above, the Company and its affiliated companies would
      sustain irreparable harm and, therefore, in addition to any other remedies
      which
      the Company may have under this Agreement or otherwise, the Company shall be
      entitled to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction
      restraining the Consultant from committing or continuing any such violation
      of
      this Agreement, and the Consultant shall not object to such
      application.

     

    Section
      12. Nature
      of Consultant’s Undertaking: No Joint Venture or
      Partnership.
      Consultant shall act as an independent contractor and shall have complete charge
      of its personnel engaged in the performance of the Services. The Company and
      Consultant hereby agree that neither Consultant’s entering into this Agreement
      nor Consultant’s provision of Services to the Company and its Subsidiaries shall
      be construed to have created either a joint venture or a partnership for the
      purpose of providing such Services.

     

    Section
      13. Notices.

    RELEASE

     

    1. This
      agreement is between the Washington Capital Advisors, Inc. (“Consultant”) and
      Fortress International Group, Inc., formerly Fortress America Acquisition
      Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“FIG”).

     

    2. The
      Consultant, deeming this Agreement to be fair, reasonable, and equitable, and
      intending to be legally bound hereby, agrees to and hereby does, forever and
      irrevocably fully release and discharge Company, its subsidiaries, affiliated
      entities, direct or indirect owners and its and their respective officers,
      directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, purchasers, assigns,
      representatives, fiduciaries, and insurers (jointly, the "Released Parties")
      from any and all grievances, liens, suits, judgments, claims, demands, debts,
      defenses, actions or causes of action, obligations, damages (whether
      compensatory, punitive or otherwise), and liabilities whatsoever which the
      Consultant now has, has had, or may have, whether the same be known or unknown,
      vested or contingent, at law, in equity, or mixed, in any way arising out of
      or
      relating in any way to any matter, act, occurrence, or transaction before the
      date of this General Release Agreement, including but not limited to Consulting
      Agreement with the Company (collectively, "Claims"). This
      is a General Release.
      The
      Consultant expressly acknowledges that this General Release includes, but is
      not
      limited to, the Consultant's release of any tort and contract claims and
      arbitration claims. Also, the Consultant understands that this General Release
      Agreement is not an admission of liability under any statute or otherwise by
      the
      Released Parties, and that the Released Parties do not admit but deny any
      violation of his legal rights, and that it shall not be regarded as a prevailing
      party for any purpose, including but not limited to, determining responsibility
      for or entitlement to attorneys’ fees, under any statute or otherwise. The
      Consultant agrees that in the event the Consultant brings a Claim in which
      the
      Consultant seeks damages or other relief from any Released Party, or in the
      event the Consultant seeks to recover against any Released Party in any Claim
      brought by a governmental agency on the Consultant’s behalf, this Agreement
      shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims.

      accountant(s) (for purposes of seeking tax advice only), unless compelled to
      make disclosure by lawful court order or subpoena.

    The
      following confirms an Invention Assignment, Non-Compete and Confidentiality
      Agreement ("Agreement") between Washington Capital Advisors, Inc. (“WCA”)
      and
      Fortress International Group, a Maryland corporation (the "Company," which
      term
      includes the Company’s Affiliates, subsidiaries and any assigns). The promises
      and commitments that WCA makes in this Agreement are a material part of the
      Company’s consideration in WCA’s consulting relationship with the
      Company.

    

      
        	
                1.

              	
                WCA
                  understands and agrees that its engagement as a consultant to the

      necessary to protect the Company’s interests.
