relates solely to his employment  with the Company  (including,  but not limited
to, loans made by the Company to the

      resignation  in breach of this  Agreement,  or (ii) a  termination  of the
      Employment  Term for  Cause by the  Company,  the  Company  shall  pay the
      Employee  his Base Salary and expense  reimbursements  solely  through the
      date of termination. All such amounts shall be paid in accordance with the

      termination, and (2) expense reimbursement.

            (c)   TOTAL  DISABILITY.  Upon termination of the Employment Term by

      the substantial  equivalent thereof) which would have been provided if his
      employment had not been terminated.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                        CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-SOLICITATION
                            AND NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT

      4.1   NON-DISCLOSURE   OF   CONFIDENTIAL   INFORMATION.   Employee  hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the duties and services to be performed by Employee
under  this  Agreement  are  special  and  unique and that as of a result of the
employment  hereunder,  Employee will acquire,  develop and use information of a
special and unique nature and value that is not generally known to the public or

configurations,  business  plans,  ledgers  and  general  information,  employee
records,  mailing lists, accounts receivable and payable ledgers,  financial and
other records of the Company or its  Affiliates,  and other similar matters (all
such information being hereinafter  referred to as "CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION").
Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information is of
great value to the  Company and its  Affiliates  and that the  restrictions  and
agreements  contained in this Agreement are reasonably  necessary to protect the
Confidential Information and the goodwill of the Company. Accordingly,  Employee
hereby agrees that:

            (a)   Employee  will not,  while  employed  by the Company or at any
      time  thereafter,  directly  or  indirectly,  except  in  connection  with
      Employee's performance of the duties under this Agreement, or as otherwise
      authorized  in  writing by the  Company  for the  benefit of the  Company,
      divulge to any person,  firm,  corporation,  limited liability company, or
      organization,  other than the Company  (hereinafter  referred to as "THIRD
      PARTIES"),  or use or cause or  authorize  any Third  Parties to use,  the
      Confidential Information, except as required by law; and

            (b)   Upon the  termination of Employee's  employment for any reason
      whatsoever, Employee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company
      any and  all  Confidential  Information,  including  drawings,  notebooks,
      notes, records,  keys, data and other documents and materials belonging to
      the  Company or its  Affiliates  which is in his  possession  or under his
      control  relating  to the  Company or its  Affiliates,  regardless  of the
      medium upon which it is stored,  and will deliver to the Company upon such
      termination  of  employment  any  other  property  of the  Company  or its
      Affiliates which is in his possession or control.

      4.2   NON-SOLICITATION COVENANT. Employee hereby covenants and agrees that
while  employed by the Company  and for a period of one (1) year  following  the
termination of Employee's  employment with the Company for any reason,  Employee
shall not (i) directly or  indirectly,  contact,  solicit,  interfere  with,  or
endeavor  to entice away from the Company or its  Affiliates  any person,  firm,
corporation,  limited  liability  company or other entity that was a customer of
the  Company at any time while  Employee  was an  employee of the Company or its
Affiliates or who is a

                                       6
<PAGE>

"PROSPECTIVE  VENDOR OR  CUSTOMER"of  the Company,  or (ii)  induce,  attempt to
induce or hire any employee  (or any person who was an employee  during the year
preceding  the date of any  solicitation)  of the Company or its  Affiliates  to
leave the employ of the Company or its Affiliates,  or in any way interfere with
the  relationship  between any such employee and the Company or its  Affiliates.
For purposes hereof,  "PROSPECTIVE  VENDOR OR CUSTOMER" shall mean any person or
entity which has been solicited for business by Employee or any officer or other
employee of the Company at any time during Employee's employment.

      4.3   NON-COMPETITION  COVENANT.  Employee acknowledges that the covenants
set forth in this  SECTION  4.3 are  reasonable  in scope and  essential  to the
preservation of the Business of the Company (as defined  herein).  Employee also
acknowledges  that the enforcement of the covenant set forth in this SECTION 4.3
will not preclude  Employee from being gainfully  employed in such manner and to
the extent as to provide a standard  of living for  himself,  the members of his
family and the others  dependent  upon him of at least the level to which he and
they have become accustomed and may expect. In addition,  Employee  acknowledges
that the Company  and its  Affiliates  have  obtained  an  advantage  over their
competitors  as a  result  of  their  name,  location  and  reputation  that  is
characterized  by  near  permanent   relationships   with  vendors,   customers,
principals  and other  contacts  which  they have  developed  at great  expense.
Furthermore,  Employee  acknowledges  that  competition  by  him  following  the
termination  or expiration of his  employment  would impair the operation of the
Company and its Affiliates beyond that which would arise from the competition of
an unrelated  third party with similar  skills.  Employee  hereby agrees that he
shall not, during his employment and for a period of two (2) years after the end
of his  employment,  directly  or  indirectly,  engage in or become  directly or
indirectly interested in any proprietorship,  partnership, firm, trust, company,
limited  liability  company  or other  entity,  other  than the  Company  or its
Affiliates  (whether  as  owner,  partner,  trustee,  beneficiary,  stockholder,
member, officer,  director,  employee,  independent contractor,  agent, servant,
consultant,  lessor,  lessee or otherwise) that competes with the Company or its
Affiliates  in the  Business  of the  Company in the  Restricted  Territory  (as
defined  herein),  other than an  interest in a company  listed on a  recognized
stock  exchange  in an amount  which does not exceed  five  percent  (5%) of the
outstanding stock of such corporation.  For purposes of this Agreement,  (i) the
term  "BUSINESS  OF THE  COMPANY"  shall  include all  business  activities  and
ventures related to providing  employee training and educational  services,  and
human  resources   consulting  services  related  thereto;  and  (ii)  the  term
"RESTRICTED  TERRITORY"  means the  geographical  area  consisting of the United
States of America,  it being  acknowledged  by Employee that the business of the
Company and its Affiliates is not  restricted by  geographical  boundaries.  The
terms of this Article IV shall  survive any  termination  or  expiration of this
Agreement.

      4.4   REMEDIES.

            (a)   INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees
      that  the  Business  of the  Company  is  highly  competitive  and  that a
      violation of any of the provisions of SECTIONS 4.1, 4.2 OR 4.3 would cause
      immediate  and  irreparable  harm,  loss and damage to the Company and its
      Affiliates  not  adequately  compensable  by a  monetary  award.  Employee
      further  acknowledges  and agrees that the time  periods  and  territorial
      areas provided for

                                       7
<PAGE>

      herein are the minimum necessary to adequately protect the Business of the
      Company, the enjoyment of the Confidential Information and the goodwill of
      the Company and its Affiliates. Without limiting any of the other remedies
      available to the Company at law or in equity,  or the  Company's  right or
      ability to  collect  money  damages,  Employee  agrees  that any actual or
      threatened  violation of any of the provisions of SECTIONS 4.1, 4.2 OR 4.3
      may be  immediately  restrained  or  enjoined  by any  court of  competent
      jurisdiction,  and  that  a  temporary  restraining  order  or  emergency,
      preliminary  or final  injunction  may be issued in any court of competent
      jurisdiction, without notice and without bond. Notwithstanding anything to
      the contrary  contained in this Agreement,  the provisions of this Section
      shall survive the termination of Employee's employment.

            (b)   ENFORCEMENT.  It  is  the  desire  of  the  parties  that  the
      provisions of SECTIONS  4.1, 4.2 OR 4.3 be enforced to the fullest  extent
      permissible  under the laws and public  policies in each  jurisdiction  in
      which enforcement might be sought.  Accordingly, if any particular portion
      of  SECTIONS  4.1,  4.2 OR 4.3 shall  ever be  adjudicated  as  invalid or
      unenforceable,  or if the application thereof to any party or circumstance
      shall be  adjudicated  to be prohibited by or  invalidated by such laws or

prior  agreements  and  understandings  relating to the subject  matter  hereof.
Except as provided in SECTION  4.4(B),  no  modification,  amendment,  waiver or
alteration of this  Agreement or any provision or term hereof shall in any event
be  effective  unless the same shall be in  writing,  executed  by both  parties
hereto, and any waiver so given shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given.

      5.4   NO WAIVER.  No  failure or delay on the part of any party  hereto in

of such  prohibition or invalidity,  without  invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the  remaining  provisions  of this  Agreement.  If any part of any
covenant or other provision in this Agreement is determined by a court of law to
be overly broad thereby  making the covenant  unenforceable,  the parties hereto
agree,  and it is their  desire,  that the court shall  substitute  a judicially
enforceable  limitation in its place, and that as so modified the covenant shall
be binding upon the parties as if originally set forth herein.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of March 1, 2001, by and between LEARNCOM,
INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and LLOYD W. SINGER, an individual
residing at 3 Bristol Court, Lincolnshire, Illinois (the "Employee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Employee as its Chief Executive
Officer and President and wishes to acquire and be assured of Employee's
services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

of the Employee.

            (b)   The Employee affirms and represents that (i) the Employee is
under no obligation to any former employer or other party that is in any way
inconsistent with, or that imposes any restriction upon, the Employee's
acceptance of employment hereunder with the Company, the employment of the
Employee by the Company, or the Employee's undertakings under this Agreement and
(ii) his performance of all the terms of this Agreement and his employment by
the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence
proprietary information acquired by him in confidence or in trust prior to his
employment by the Company.

      2.    TERM. Unless earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement, the

<PAGE>

employment hereunder is earlier terminated, such shorter period, being
hereinafter called the "Employment Term").

      3.    DUTIES.

            (a)   The Employee shall be employed as the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company. The Employee shall faithfully and competently perform such
duties at such times and places and in such manner as the Company may from time

            (b)   Except as may otherwise be approved in writing by the Board of
Directors of the Company, and except during vacation periods and reasonable
periods of absence due to sickness, personal injury or other disability, the
Employee shall devote his full time throughout the Employment Term to the
services required of Employee hereunder. The Employee shall render his services
exclusively to the Company during the Employment Term and shall use his best
efforts, judgment and energy to improve and advance the business and interests
of the Company in a manner consistent with the duties of Employee's position.

      4.    SALARY AND BONUS.

            (a)   BASE SALARY. In consideration for the services of the Employee
rendered to the Company hereunder (including any services the Employee may

salary at an annual rate of One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($125,000.00) during the Employment Term, payable in regular intervals in

      5.    BENEFITS. (a) During the Employment Term, the Employee shall be:

business or operations; and

necessary out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by the Employee in the
performance of the Employee's duties hereunder in accordance with the Company's
policies applicable (on and after the date hereof) thereto.

            (b)   During the Employment Term, the Company shall maintain in
effect for the benefit of the Employee or his designee the life insurance policy

            (c)   Employee shall cooperate with the Company in the event the

covenants, agrees and acknowledges as follows:

            (a)   The Company is engaged in a continuous program of research,
design, development, production, marketing and servicing with respect to its
businesses.

            (b)   The Employee's employment hereunder creates a relationship of
confidence and trust between the Employee and the Company with respect to
certain information pertaining to the business of the Company and its Affiliates
(as hereinafter defined) or pertaining to the business of any client or customer
of the Company or its Affiliates which may be made known to the Employee by the
Company or any of its Affiliates or by any client or customer of the Company or
any of its Affiliates or learned by the Employee during the period of Employee's
employment by the Company.

                                       3
<PAGE>

            (c)   The Company possesses and will continue to possess information
that has been created, discovered or developed by, or otherwise become known to
it (including, without limitation, information created, discovered or developed
by, or made known to, the Employee during the period of Employee's employment or
arising out of Employee's employment) or in which property rights have been or
may be assigned or otherwise conveyed to the Company, which information has
commercial value in the business in which the Company is engaged and is treated
by the Company as confidential.

            (d)   Any and all inventions, products, discoveries, improvements,
processes, manufacturing, marketing and services methods or techniques,
formulae, designs, styles, specifications, data bases, computer programs
(whether in source code or object code), know-how, strategies and data, whether
or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made,
developed or created by the Employee (whether at the request or suggestion of
the Company, any of its Affiliates, or otherwise, whether alone or in
conjunction with others, and whether during regular hours of work or otherwise)
during the period of Employee's employment by the Company which may pertain to
the business, products, or processes of the Company or any of its Affiliates
(collectively hereinafter referred to as "Inventions"), will be promptly and
fully disclosed by the Employee to an appropriate executive officer of the
Company (other than the Employee) without any additional compensation therefor,
all papers, drawings, models, data, documents and other material pertaining to
or in any way relating to any Inventions made, developed or created by Employee
as aforesaid. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Affiliate" or
"Affiliates" shall mean any person, corporation or other entity directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with the Company. For the purposes of this definition, "control" when
used with respect to any person, corporation or other entity means the power to
direct the management and policies of such person or entity, directly or
indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise; and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings
correlative to the foregoing.

            (e)   The Employee will keep confidential and will hold for the
Company's sole benefit any Invention which is to be the exclusive property of
the Company under this Section 6 for which no patent, copyright, trademark or
other right or protection is issued.

            (f)   The Employee also agrees that the Employee will not without
the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company (i) use for
Employee's benefit or disclose at any time during Employee's employment by the
Company, or thereafter, except to the extent required by the performance by the
Employee of the Employee's duties as an employee of the Company, any information
obtained or developed by Employee while in the employ of the Company with
respect to any Inventions or with respect to any customers, clients, suppliers,
products, employees, financial affairs, or methods of design, distribution,
marketing, service, procurement or manufacture of the Company or any of its
Affiliates, or any confidential matter, except information which at the time is
generally known to the public other than as a result of

                                       4
<PAGE>

disclosure by the Employee not permitted hereunder, or (ii) take with the
Employee upon leaving the employ of the Company any document or paper relating
to any of the foregoing or any physical property of the Company or any of its
Affiliates.

            (g)   The Employee acknowledges and agrees that a remedy at law for
any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6 would be
inadequate and, therefore, agrees that the Company and its Affiliates shall be
entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other available rights and
remedies in case of any such breach or threatened breach; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company or
any of its Affiliates from pursuing any other rights and remedies available for
any such breach or threatened breach.

            (h)   The Employee agrees that upon termination of Employee's
employment by the Company for any reason, the Employee shall immediately return
to the Company all documents and other property in Employee's possession
belonging to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

            (i)   Without limiting the generality of Section 9 hereof, the
Employee hereby expressly agrees that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6
shall be binding upon the Employee's heirs, successors and legal
representatives.

      7.    TERMINATION. (a) The Employee's employment hereunder shall be
terminated upon the occurrence of any of the following:

                  (i)   death of the Employee;

contemplated by clause (v)(B) below;

                  (iii) termination of the Employee's employment hereunder by

consecutive months;

of the Company of prior similar actions by Employee, excessive alcoholism or

negligence by the Employee in the performance of, or willful disregard by the
Employee of, the Employee's obligations hereunder.

            The following actions, failures or events shall constitute "good
reason" within the meaning of clause (V)(B) above: (1) a material breach by the
Company of its obligations under this Agreement or (2) a material diminution of
the Employee's responsibilities or authority hereunder.

            (b)   In the event that the Employee's employment is terminated by
the Company prior to February 28, 2004 for any reason other than "cause" or by
Employee for "good reason," then the Company shall pay to the Employee, as
severance pay or liquidated damages or both, the amount of Base Salary, if any,
which the Employee would have otherwise been entitled to receive pursuant to

subsequent to the termination of the Employee's employment hereunder.

            (c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied
herein, except as required by applicable law and except as set forth in
paragraph (b) above, the Company (and its Affiliates) shall not be obligated to
make any payments to the Employee or on Employee's behalf of whatever kind or
nature by reason of the Employee's cessation of employment (including, without
limitation, by reason of termination of the Employee's employment by the Company
for "cause"), other than (i) such amounts, if any, of Employee's salary and
bonus as shall have accrued and remained unpaid as of the date of said cessation
and (ii) such other amounts which may be then otherwise payable to the Employee
from the Company's benefits plans or reimbursement policies, if any.

                                       6

for "cause" or by Employee for any reason other than "good reason," the two-year
period following such termination.

      During the Non-Compete Term:

                  (i)   the Employee will not make any statement or perform any
act intended to advance an interest of any existing or prospective competitor of
the Company or any of its Affiliates in any way that will or may injure an
interest of the Company or any of its Affiliates in its relationship and
dealings with existing or potential customers or clients, or solicit or
encourage any other employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to do any
act that is disloyal to the Company or any of its Affiliates or inconsistent
with the interest of the Company or any of its Affiliate's interests or in
violation of any provision of this Agreement;

                  (ii)  the Employee will not discuss with any existing or
potential customers or clients of the Company or any of its Affiliates the
present or future availability of services or products of a business, if the
Employee has or expects to acquire a proprietary interest in such business or is
or expects to be an employee, officer or director of such business, where such
services or products are competitive with services or products which the Company
or any of its Affiliates provides;

                  (iii) the Employee will not make any statement or do any act
intended to cause any existing or potential customers or clients of the Company
or any of its Affiliates to make use of the services or purchase the products of
any competitive business in which the Employee has or expects to acquire a
proprietary interest or in which the Employee is or expects to be made an
employee, officer or director, if such services or products in any way compete
with the services or products sold or provided or expected to be sold or
provided by the Company or any of its Affiliates to any existing or potential
customer or client; and

                  (iv)  the Employee will not directly or indirectly (as a
director, officer, employee, manager, consultant, independent contractor,
advisor or otherwise) engage in competition with, or own any interest in,
perform any services for, participate in or be connected with (i) any business
or organization which engages in competition with the Company or any of its
Affiliates in any geographical area where any business is presently carried on
by the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) any business or organization
which engages in competition with the Company or any of its Affiliates in any
geographical area where any business shall be hereafter,

                                       7

during the period of the Employee's employment by the Company, carried on by the
Company or any of its Affiliates, if such business is then being carried on by
the Company or any of its Affiliates in such geographical area; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the provisions of this Section 8(a) shall not be deemed to
prohibit the Employee's ownership of not more than one percent (1%) of the total
shares of all classes of stock outstanding of any publicly held company.

            (b)   During the Non-Compete Term, the Employee will not directly or
indirectly hire, engage, send any work to, place orders with, or in any manner
be associated with any supplier, contractor, subcontractor or other person or
firm which rendered manufacturing or other services, or sold any products, to
the Company or any of its Affiliates if such action by Employee would have a
material adverse effect on the business, assets or financial condition of the
Company or any of its Affiliates.

            (c)   In connection with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8,
the Employee represents that Employee's experience, capabilities and
circumstances are such that such provisions will not prevent Employee from
earning a livelihood. The Employee further agrees that the limitations set forth
in this Section 8 (including, without limitation, any time or territorial
limitations) are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of
the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates. It is understood and agreed
that the covenants made by the Employee in this Section 8 (and in Section 6
hereof) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

            (d)   For purposes of this Section 8, proprietary interest in a
business is ownership, whether through direct or indirect stock holdings or
otherwise, of one percent (1%) or more of such business. The Employee shall be
deemed to expect to acquire a proprietary interest in a business or to be made
an officer or director of such business if such possibility has been discussed
with any officer, director, employee, agent, or promoter of such business.

            (e)   The Employee acknowledges and agrees that a remedy at law for
any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 8 would be
inadequate and, therefore, agrees that the Company and any of its Affiliates
shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other available rights
and remedies in cases of any such breach or threatened breach; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the
Company or any of its Affiliates from pursuing any other rights and remedies
available for any such breach or threatened breach.

      9.    NON-ASSIGNABILITY. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any right or
interest hereunder shall be assignable by the Employee, Employee's
beneficiaries, or legal representatives without the Company's prior written
consent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section 9(a) shall preclude the
Employee from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefit payable hereunder
upon Employee's death or incapacity.

                                       8

            (b)   Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under
this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation or to exclusion,
attachment, levy or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void
and of no effect.

      10.   BINDING EFFECT. Without limiting or diminishing the effect of
Section 9 hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, legal
representatives and assigns.

      11.   NOTICE. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and either delivered in person or
sent by first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, if to the
Company, at the Company's principal place of business, attention: Treasurer
(with a copy to Pryor, Cashman, Sherman & Flynn, 410 Park Avenue, New York, New
York 10022, Attention: Eric M. Hellige, Esq.), and if to the Employee, at
Employee's home address set forth above, or to such other address or addresses
as either party shall have designated in writing to the other party hereto.

      12.   SEVERABILITY. The Employee agrees that in the event that any court
of competent jurisdiction shall finally hold that any provision of Section 6 or
8 hereof is void or constitutes an unreasonable restriction against the
Employee, such provision shall not be rendered void but shall apply with respect
to such extent as such court may judicially determine constitutes a reasonable
restriction under the circumstances. If any part of this Agreement other than
Section 6 or 8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegible or incapable of being enforced in whole or in part by reason of any
rule of law or public policy, such part shall be deemed to be severed from the
remainder of this Agreement for the purpose only of the particular legal
proceedings in question and all other covenants and provisions of this Agreement
shall in every other respect continue in full force and effect and no covenant
or provision shall be deemed dependent upon any other covenant or provision.

      13.   WAIVER. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the
terms, covenants or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any right or
power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of
such right or power at any other time or times.

      14.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATIONS. This Agreement constitutes the
entire and final expression of the agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, oral and written,
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement may be modified or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by
both parties hereto.

      15.   RELEVANT LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois without regard to the
conflicts of law principles thereof.

      16.   COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

      17.   SURVIVAL. The termination of Employee's employment hereunder shall
not affect the enforceability of Sections 6 or 8.

      18.   FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties agree to execute and deliver all
such further instruments and take such other and further action as may be
reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this
Agreement.

      19.   HEADINGS. The Section headings appearing in this Agreement are for
purposes of easy reference and shall not be considered a part of this Agreement
or in any way modify, amend or affect its provisions.
