                  2.2 Duties of Employee. During the Term of this Agreement, the
Employee shall diligently perform all duties and responsibilities as may be
assigned to him by the Company's Board of Directors and shall exercise such
power and authority as may from time to time be delegated to him thereby. The
Employee shall devote his full business time and attention to the business and
affairs of the Company as necessary to perform his duties and responsibilities
hereunder, render such services to the best of his ability, and use his best
efforts to promote the interests of the Company.

         3. TERM. Subject to the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement, the
Company shall employ the Employee for a term commencing on the date first

in its sole and absolute discretion, and such determination shall be binding and
final. To the extent that such bonus is to be determined in light of financial
performance during a specified fiscal period and this Agreement commences on a
date after the start of such fiscal period, any bonus payable in respect of such
fiscal period's results may be prorated. In addition, if the period of the

Employee shall be entitled to not less than four weeks of paid vacation,
prorated for any period of employment of less than an entire year.

Agreement to the contrary, all payments required to be made by the Company
hereunder to the Employee in connection with the Employee's employment hereunder
shall be subject to withholding of such amounts relating to taxes as the Company
may reasonably determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation. In lieu of withholding such amounts, in whole or in part, the
Company may, in its sole discretion, accept other provisions for the payment of
taxes, provided

that the Company is satisfied that all requirements of law affecting its

the Employee for all reasonable business expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable travel and entertainment expenses) incurred by the
Employee in the discharge of his duties hereunder, subject to the Company's

this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated by the Company
for "Cause" at any time during the Term hereof, and such termination shall be
effective immediately upon ten (10) days' written notice to the Employee. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" for the termination of the Employee's
employment hereunder shall be deemed to exist if, in the reasonable judgment of
the Company's Board of Directors: (a) the Employee commits fraud, theft or
embezzlement against the Company; (b) the Employee commits a felony or a crime

notice of such breach from the Company; or (f) the Employee engages in gross
negligence or willful misconduct that causes harm to the business and operations
of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof. Upon any termination
pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Employee shall be entitled to be paid solely
the Employee's salary then in effect through the effective date of termination,
and the Company shall have no further liability or other obligation of any kind
whatsoever to the Employee.

                  5.2 Termination by the Company Without Cause. The Company may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate the employment of the Employee
hereunder, at any time prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement,
without "Cause" (as such term is defined in Section 5.1 above), or otherwise
without any cause, reason or justification, provided that the Company provides
to the Employee at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice (the "Termination
Notice") of such termination. In the event of any such termination by the
Company, (a) the Employee's employment with the Company shall cease and
terminate on the date specified in the Termination Notice (or, if not date is so
specified, on the date which is 60 days following the date of such notice), and
(b) the Employee shall be entitled to receive and be paid solely the Employee's
salary then in effect for the shorter of (x) the fifteen-month period following
the Employee's termination or (y) the remaining Term of this Agreement, payable
over such period at the Company's regular and customary intervals for the
payment of salaries as then in effect, and the Company shall have no further
liability or other obligation of any kind whatsoever to the Employee.

                  5.3 Death of the Employee. In the event that the Employee
shall die during the Term of this Agreement, the Employee's employment with the
Company shall immediately cease and terminate and the Employee's estate, heirs
(at law), devisees, legatees or other proper and

legally entitled descendants, or the personal representative, executor,
administrator or other proper legal representative on behalf of such
descendants, shall be entitled to receive and be paid solely the Employee's
salary through the date of death, and the Company shall have no further
liability or other obligation of any kind whatsoever to the Employee.

                  5.4 Disability of the Employee. In the event that the Employee
becomes incapacitated during the Term by reason of sickness, accident or other
mental or physical disability such that he is substantially unable to
performance his duties and responsibilities hereunder for a period of 60
consecutive days, or for shorter or intermittent periods aggregating 90 days
during any 12-month period (a "Disability"), the Company thereafter shall have
the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate the Employee's
employment under this Agreement by sending written notice of such termination to
the Employee or its legal guardian or other proper legal representative and
thereupon his employment hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. In the
event of any such termination, the Employee shall be entitled to receive and be
paid solely the Employee's salary then in effect through the effective date of
termination and the Company shall have no further liability or other obligation
of any kind whatsoever to the Employee.

                  5.5 Termination by the Employee. Provided that the Company
does not have "Cause" to terminate the Employee pursuant to Section 5.1 above,
the Employee may terminate the Employee's employment with the Company hereunder
at any time and for any reason. Employee must provide to the Company written
notice of such termination not less than 30 days prior to the date such
termination is to be effective. Upon any termination pursuant to this Section
5.5, the Employee shall be entitled to be paid solely the Employee's salary then
in effect through the effective date of termination, and the Company shall have
no further liability or other obligation of any kind whatsoever to the Employee.

the Company on the date of termination of the Employee's employment with the
Company (clauses (a) and (b) collectively referred to herein as the "Company's
Business").

                  6.2 The Employee agrees that, during the Term of this
Agreement and for two years following the termination or expiration of his
employment for any reason whatsoever, he will not, without the prior written
consent of the Company, either directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or in
the service of or on behalf of others as a shareholder, director, officer,

employed by, or provide services to, any Competing Business within the State of

whether or not such employment is for a determined period or is at will.

         9. OWNERSHIP AND NON-DISCLOSURE AND NON-USE OF CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION.

                  9.1 As used in this Agreement, "Confidential Information"
shall mean all customer sales and marketing information, customer account
records, proprietary receipts and/or processing techniques, information
regarding vendors and products, training and operations memoranda and similar
information, personnel records, pricing information, financial information and
trade secrets concerning or relating to the business, accounts, customers,

                  9.2 The Employee acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential
Information, and all physical embodiments thereof, are confidential to and shall
be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company. Upon request by
the Company, and in any event upon termination of the Employee's employment with
the Company for any reason whatsoever, as a prior condition to the Employee's
receipt of any final salary or benefit payments hereunder, the Employee shall
deliver to the Company all property belonging to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, including, without limitation, all Confidential

damages against the Employee which may accrue to the Company, as a result of any
breach of this Section 9 by the Employee.

                  9.3 The Employee agrees that he will not, either during the

of the Employee's duties hereunder.

         10. INVENTIONS. The Employee shall disclose promptly to the Company any
and all conceptions and ideas for inventions, improvements, and valuable
discoveries, whether patentable or not, that are conceived or made by the
Employee, solely or jointly with another, during the Term of this Agreement and
that are directly related to the business or activities of the Company and that
the Employee conceives as a result of his employment by the Company, regardless
of whether or not such ideas, inventions, or improvements qualify as "works for
hire." The Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign all his interests
therein to the Company or its nominee. Whenever requested to do so by the
Company, the Employee shall execute any and all applications, assignments or
other instruments that the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain
Letters Patent of the United States or any foreign country or to otherwise
protect the Company's interest therein.

         11. REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS. In the event that any provision
relating to time period or geographic area of any restriction set forth in
Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction
to exceed the maximum time period or area of restriction that the court deems
reasonable and enforceable, the time period or area of restriction which the
court finds to be reasonable and enforceable shall be deemed to become, and
thereafter shall be, the maximum time period or geographic area of such
restriction.

         12. ENFORCEABILITY. Any provision of Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, but shall be enforced to the
maximum extent permitted by law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in
any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction.

         13. INJUNCTION. It is recognized and hereby acknowledged by the parties
hereto that a breach by the Employee of any of the covenants contained in
Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm and
damage to the Company, the monetary amount of which may be virtually impossible
to ascertain. As a result, the Employee recognizes and hereby acknowledges that
the Company shall be entitled to an injunction from any court of competent
jurisdiction enjoining and restraining any violation of any or all of the
covenants contained in Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement by the
Employee or any of his affiliates, associates, partners or agents, either
directly or indirectly, and that such right to injunction shall be cumulative
and in addition to whatever other remedies the Company may possess.

         14. ASSIGNMENT. The Employee shall not delegate his employment
obligations pursuant to this Agreement to any other person.

         15. EMPLOYER'S AUTHORITY. The relationship between the parties hereto
is that of employer and employee. The Employee agrees to observe and comply with
the rules and regulations of the Company, as adopted by the Company from time to
time with respect to the performance of the duties of the Employee. The Employee
acknowledges that he has no authority to enter into any contracts or other
obligations that are binding upon the Company unless such contracts or
obligations are authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

shall have the power to direct, control and supervise the duties to be performed
by the Employee, the manner of performing said duties, and the time of
performing said duties.

         16. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the
parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding
the choice of law rules thereof. The Company and the Employee each hereby
irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in
Dade County, Florida in connection with any suit, action or other proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement and hereby agree not to assert, by
way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding
that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that
the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement
or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced by such courts.

         17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, both oral and
written, between the parties hereto with respect to such subject matter. This
Agreement may not be modified in any way, unless by a written instrument signed
by both the Company and the Employee.

         20. SEVERABILITY. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 11 and 12,
the invalidity of any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses,
sections or subsections contained in this Agreement shall not affect the

all of which are inserted conditionally on their being valid in law, and, in the
event that any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses, sections
or subsections contained in this Agreement or any part thereof shall be declared
invalid, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid word or words,
phrase or phrases, sentence or sentences, clause or clauses, section or sections

other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representative, legal representative, successors and assigns, any rights or
remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

         24. AMENDMENT; MODIFICATION; WAIVER. No amendment, modification or
waiver of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and
duly executed by the Company and the Employee. No delay or failure at any time
on the part of the Company in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement, or in enforcing any provision of this Agreement, shall impair
any such right, power or privilege, or be construed as a waiver of any default
or as any acquiescence therein, or shall affect the right of the Company
thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance
with its terms. The waiver by either party hereto of a breach or violation of
any term or provision of this Agreement shall neither operate nor be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation.

salary through the date of death, and the Company shall have no further

mental or physical disability such that he is substantially unable to
performance his duties and responsibilities hereunder for a period of 60
consecutive days, or for shorter or intermittent periods aggregating 90 days
during any 12-month period (a "Disability"), the Company thereafter shall have
the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate the Employee's
employment under this Agreement by sending written notice of such termination to
the Employee or its legal guardian or other proper legal representative and
thereupon his employment hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. In the
event of any such termination, the Employee shall be entitled to receive and be
paid solely the Employee's salary then in effect through the effective date of
termination and the Company shall have no further liability or other obligation
of any kind whatsoever to the Employee.

hereto that a breach by the Employee of any of the covenants contained in

the Company shall be entitled to an injunction from any court of competent
jurisdiction enjoining and restraining any violation of any or all of the
covenants contained in Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement by the

the choice of law rules thereof. The Company and the Employee each hereby
irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in
Dade County, Florida in connection with any suit, action or other proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement and hereby agree not to assert, by
way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding
that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that
the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement
or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced by such courts.

         17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, both oral and

the invalidity of any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses,

all of which are inserted conditionally on their being valid in law, and, in the

invalid, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid word or words,
phrase or phrases, sentence or sentences, clause or clauses, section or sections

waiver of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and
duly executed by the Company and the Employee. No delay or failure at any time
on the part of the Company in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement, or in enforcing any provision of this Agreement, shall impair
any such right, power or privilege, or be construed as a waiver of any default
or as any acquiescence therein, or shall affect the right of the Company
thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance
with its terms. The waiver by either party hereto of a breach or violation of
any term or provision of this Agreement shall neither operate nor be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation.
