Executive Officer, pursuant to the terms of an Employment Agreement dated
September 1, 1997 ("Employment Agreement");

         WHEREAS, the Company and Employee have mutually agreed that it is
desirable to end Employee's relationship with the Company on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement;

         WHEREAS, the Company and Employee shall enter into a separate
Consulting Agreement dated of even date herewith.

         NOW, THEREFORE, Employee and the Company, intending to be legally bound
hereby and in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, do hereby
agree as follows:

         1. RESIGNATION. Employee and the Company mutually agree that Employee
will resign from his position as Chief Executive Officer, and from all other
positions he holds with the Company, effective June 5, 2000 (the "Termination
Date"). The Employment Agreement and all therein are hereby void and of no
further force or effect. Execution of this Agreement shall also constitute
Employee's resignation from his position as a member of the Company's Board of
Directors effective the date of this Agreement.

         Employee and the Company acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding
paragraph, the Company may from time to time after the Termination Date need to
discuss certain pending legal matters or issues with which employee may be
familiar. Employee covenants and agrees to be available to answer questions,
meet with Company counsel and testify in depositions and legal proceedings as
reasonably may be necessary or requested by Company.

         2. ACCRUED PAY. Employee will be paid his accrued salary for his
services through the close of business on the Termination Date. The Company will
provide Employee with a check for his accrued salary, less payroll taxes and
other applicable payroll deductions, on the next scheduled pay date. The Company
shall have no further obligation to Employee as an Employee. The Company also
acknowledges its obligation to issue 50,000 restricted shares of common stock
earned by Employee on January 21, 2000 pursuant to his Employment Agreement
which Employee acknowledges were valued at $125,000 on such date and in
accordance therewith Employee shall pay $35,000 to the Company upon execution
hereof for remittance as part of his federal withholding taxes related to such
share issuances. In addition, the Company shall include the 50,000 shares in an
amendment to the registration statement relating to the conversion of the
Company's outstanding warrants. Employee shall be included as a selling
shareholder in any such amendment and agrees to execute any and all documents
required by the Company in connection with the filing of any such amendment.
Employee agrees that he will not utilize the registration statement to sell his
shares covered thereby once the time period required for the availability of
Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 has passed, and at such time the Company
will have no further obligation to include Employee's shares in any registration
statement.

         3. STOCK OPTIONS. The Company and Employee acknowledge and agree that
the options granted to Employee and the exercise prices and expiration periods
following the Termination Date are set forth on Schedule 3 hereof, which is
incorporated herein, and such options shall be exercisable by Employee subject
to the terms thereof. In addition, the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to include the options to purchase 250,000 shares in a Form S-8
registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
in conjunction with the Company's contemplated registration of shares to be
issued pursuant to its 2000 Stock Incentive Plan; provided however, that the
Company shall begin the process of filing a registration statement covering the
shares to be issued by the Company upon exercise of the options to purchase
250,000 shares if the Company's closing bid price is equal to or in excess of
$4.00 per share for five (5) consecutive trading days.

         4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Employee agrees that he shall not disclose
to any third party any confidential information concerning the Company or the
Company's business which was acquired or learned during the course of Employee's
employment with the Company. Employee will not retain without the Company's
express consent any copies of any of the Company's business records, or other
documents which are the property of the Company.

         5. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE; NON-SOLICITATION; NON-DISPARAGEMENT. As
consideration for the severance pay and other benefits provided by the Company
under this Agreement, Employee hereby agrees that he will not, during the period
ending twenty-four (24) months after the Termination Date, engage in any
business activities on behalf of any enterprise which competes with the Company.
Employee will be deemed to be engaged in such competitive business activities if
he participates in such a business enterprise as an employee, officer, director,
consultant, agent, partner, proprietor or other participant, provided, however,
the Company acknowledges that Employee's engaging in business with Trip.com
shall not violate this provision.

         Employee agrees that he shall not, for a period of twenty-four (24)
months after the Termination Date,

                  (i) solicit any employee or full-time consultant of the
         Company for the purposes of hiring or retaining such employee or
         consultant, or

                  (ii) contact any present client of the Company or any
         prospective client with which the Company was engaged in active
         negotiations during the Employee's employment with the Company to
         solicit such a person to enter into a contract with any organization
         other than the Company or a related entity.

         Employee and the Company mutually agree that they shall not at any time
(during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter) make or publish
any negative, critical or disparaging comments or statements whether written or
oral, about the employee, the Company or any of its officers, directors or
affiliated professional associations or employees or professionals thereof.
Additionally, Employee shall refrain from communicating with employees of the
Company regarding the Company or any of its officers or directors, except
Employee shall communicate with such individuals as Peter Sontag is informed and
consents in writing, via e-mail to in the future.

         6. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Employee acknowledges and agrees that it would be
difficult to fully compensate the Company for damages resulting from the breach
or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 4 and 5 of this
Agreement and accordingly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to temporary
and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary
injunctions and permanent injunctions, to enforce such provisions in any action
or proceeding instituted in any United States District Court or in any court in
the State of Florida having subject matter jurisdiction. This provision with
respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the Company's right to
claim and recover damages.

         It is expressly understood and agreed that although the parties
consider the restrictions contained in this Agreement to be reasonable, if a
court determines that the time or territory or any other restriction contained
in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction on the activities of Employee,
no such provision of this Agreement shall be rendered void but shall be deemed
amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such extent as
such court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable.

         of Section 14(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
         amended);

                           (2) Any merger or consolidation of the Company into

         the Company or any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with
         another corporation in which the Company is the surviving entity and in
         connection with such merger or consolidation, all or part of the
         outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged
         for other stock or securities of any other person, or cash, or any
         other property;

                           (3) Any person or group of persons announces a tender
         offer for at least fifty one percent (51%) of the Company's Common
         Stock.

provided that, no acquisition of stock by any person in a public offering or
private placement of the Company's common stock or any other transaction
approved by the Company's Board of Directors shall be considered a Change in
Corporate Control.

         10.  NON-EXCLUSIVE RELATIONSHIP

                  Nothing contained herein shall limit nor restrict Consultant
from engaging in relationships with other companies or entities.

         11.  EMPLOYEES

                  All personnel assigned by Consultant to perform services
hereunder will be employees of Consultant and Consultant will pay all salaries
and expenses of, and all federal, social security, federal and state
unemployment taxes, and any other payroll or withholding taxes relating to such
employees.

         12.  PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

                  The Consultant agrees that Consultant will keep all
confidential and proprietary information of the Company or relating to its
business (including, but not limited to, information regarding the Company's
customers, pricing policies, methods of operation, proprietary computer programs
and trade secrets) confidential, and that Consultant will not (except with the
Company's prior written consent), while engaged by the Company or thereafter,
disclose any such confidential information to any person, firm, corporation,
association or other entity, other than in furtherance of Consultant's duties
hereunder, and then only to those with a "need to know." The Consultant shall
not make use of any such confidential information for Consultant's own purposes
or for the benefit of any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity
(except the Company) under any circumstances during or after the term of
Consultant's engagement. The foregoing shall not apply to any information which
is already in the public domain, or is generally disclosed by the Company or is
otherwise in the public domain at the time of disclosure.
<PAGE>

                  The Consultant recognizes that because Consultant's work for
the Company will bring Consultant into contact with confidential and proprietary
information of the Company, the restrictions of this Section 12 are required for
the reasonable protection of the Company and its investments and for the
Company's reliance on and confidence in the Consultant.

         13. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

                  The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that it would be
difficult to fully compensate the Company for damages resulting from the breach
or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement
and accordingly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to temporary and
injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary
injunctions and permanent injunctions, to enforce such provisions in any action
or proceeding instituted in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Florida or in any court in the State of Florida having subject
matter jurisdiction. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not,
however, diminish the Company's right to claim and recover damages.

         14. SEPARABILITY

                  If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared to be
invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof which shall
remain in full force and effect.

         15. ASSIGNMENT

                  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the assigns and successors of the Consultant and the assigns and successors
of the Company.
