termination of the  employment of Employee  hereunder by reason of any breach of
any  provisions of this  Employment  Agreement,  the injured party will give the
party in breach written notice  specifying  such breach and permitting the party
in breach to cure such breach  within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt
of such notice.

         4.   Disability  and  Death.   a)  If  the  Employee  shall  be  unable
substantially  to perform the duties  required of her pursuant to her office and
the provisions of this Employment Agreement due to any disability preventing her
from  performing  such  services  for  either a period of three (3)  consecutive
months or for any six (6) months in a one (1) year period,  Employer  shall have
the right to terminate the Employee's  employment hereunder on thirty (30) days'
written  notice.  Notwithstanding  any such  termination,  the Employee shall be
entitled to receive any compensation accrued or accruable to the Employee at the
time of such termination pursuant to the provisions of Article 2 hereof.

                  b) The term "disability"  shall mean the complete inability of

     5.  Termination.  a) Employer  shall have just legal cause to terminate the
employment  of the Employee  under this  Employment  Agreement  only upon a good
faith determination of the Chief Executive Officer of YSEEK that the termination
of such  employment  is necessary  and in the best  interests of the Employer by
reason of:

                         i) the  conviction  of the  Employee of a felony  under
state or federal law, or the  equivalent  under foreign law; unless in any such
 case the Employee  performed  such act in good faith and in a manner the
Employee  reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to Employer's best
interests, or

                         ii) the material and  continued  breach by the Employee
of her obligations  under this Employment  Agreement,  after compliance with the
provisions of Article 3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination of the Employee's employment under
this  Employment  Agreement  shall  diminish or affect in any way the Employee's
rights  to the  payments  provided  for  hereunder  which  have  accrued  or are
accruable to and  including the date of such  termination;  provided that in the
event  of  termination  for  cause,  Employee  shall  not  be  entitled  to  any
compensation for periods following the date of termination.

                  b) Employer  shall have the right to terminate the  employment
of the  Employee  under  this  Employment  Agreement  in its sole  and  absolute
discretion and without cause.

         6.   Confidentiality.   The  Employee  agrees,  during  and  after  the
Employment Period, to keep secret and confidential all information heretofore or
hereafter acquired by her concerning  Employer's business and affairs and/or the
business and affairs of any of its  subsidiaries as may be established from time
to time,  and  further  agrees  that she will at no time  during the  Employment
Period or  thereafter  disclose  any such  information  to any  person,  firm or
corporation,  other  than  to  Employer,  its  directors,  officers,  employees,
auditors and legal  advisors  otherwise than in the regular course of Employer's
business or that of its subsidiaries as may be established from time to time, or
use the same in any manner other than in connection with Employer's business and
affairs or the business and affairs of any  subsidiaries  as may be  established
from time to time, except (i) as may be required by law, (ii) in connection with
the Employee's enforcement of her rights under this Employment Agreement,  (iii)
as to such  information  as may already  have become  publicly  known other than
through the Employee in  violation  of this  Article 6 and (iv) with  Employer's
consent.

         7. Inventions.  The Employee agrees for no additional  consideration to
assign to Employer,  immediately upon the execution of this Employment Agreement
and thereafter  immediately  upon making or acquiring  them, as the case may be,
any and all inventions,  patent rights, letters patent, copyrights,  trademarks,
trade  names,  and  applications  therefor,  in the United  States and all other
countries,  and any and all rights and interests in, to and under the same which
she may legally  transfer,  now  possessed  by her or acquired by her during the
period of her  employment  hereunder,  relating in any way to the  business  and
activities of, or the equipment, devices, processes and formulas connected with,
Employer's  business  or any  other  business  conducted  by  Employer  and  any
subsidiaries  as may be  established  from time to time and  agrees  that,  upon
request,   the  Employee  will  promptly  make  all  disclosures,   execute  all
instruments and papers and perform all acts  reasonably  necessary or desired by
Employer to vest and confirm in it, its successors,  assigns and nominees, fully
and  completely,  all rights created or contemplated by this Article 7 and which
may be necessary to enable  Employer,  its  successors,  assigns and nominees to
secure and enjoy the full benefits and advantages thereof.

         8.  Noncompete.  The Employee  agrees,  to the extent permitted by law,
that she shall not during the Employee's  employment with Employer and until the
later of (a) three  (3)  years  following  the date of the  termination  of such
employment or (b) the completion of the payments  provided for in clause (ii) of
paragraph (b) of Article 5 hereof, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate,
join or control,  or  participate  in the  ownership,  management,  operation or
control of, or be a director or employee  of, or a  consultant  to, or authorize
the use of her name by, or be connected in any manner with,  any business,  firm
or  corporation,  in any town,  city,  county or state of the  United  States of
America or of any country in the world,  which  manufactures,  sells,  leases or
distributes  products  competitive with any products or services of the Employer
(or  any  subsidiaries  as may be  established  from  time to  time);  provided,
however, that the provisions of this Article 8 shall not apply to investments by
the Employee in shares of stock traded on a national  securities  exchange or on
the national  over-the-counter  market which (a) shall have an aggregate  market
value,  at the  time  of  acquisition,  of less  than  Twenty  Thousand  Dollars
($20,000)  and  (b)  shall  constitute  less  than  three  percent  (3%)  of the
outstanding shares of such stock.

         9. Equitable Relief. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that, because
of the unique and extraordinary nature of her services, and breach or threatened
breach of the  provisions of Articles 6, 7, or 8 will cause  irreparable  injury
and  incalculable  harm to Employer and that  Employer  shall,  accordingly,  be
entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief. The foregoing,  however, shall
not be deemed  to waive or to limit in any  respect  any  other  right or remedy
which Employer may have with respect to such breach.

         10.  Indemnification.  Employer  will  indemnify  the Employee (and her
legal  representatives  or other  successors) to the fullest extent permitted by
the  laws of the  State  of  Florida  and  Employer's  existing  certificate  of
incorporation and by-laws,  and the Employee shall be entitled to the protection
of any  insurance  policies  Employer  may elect to maintain  generally  for the
benefit of its directors and officers,  against all costs,  charges and expenses
whatsoever  incurred  or  sustained  by  her  or her  legal  representatives  in
connection  with any  action,  suit or  proceeding  to which  she (or her  legal
representatives  or other successors) may be made a party by reason of her being
or having been a director or officer of Employer and any  subsidiaries as may be
established from time to time.

         11.  Notices.  All notices  hereunder  shall be in writing and shall be
sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.  Any such notice
intended for Employer shall be addressed to it, attention of its Chairman of the
Board at its address  hereinbefore  set forth or at such other  address of which
Employer shall have given notice to the Employee in the manner herein  provided;
and if  intended  for the  Employee,  shall be  addressed  to her at her address
hereinbefore set forth or at such other address of which the Employee shall have
given notice to Employer in the manner herein provided.

         12. Entire Agreement.  This Employment Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding  between the parties with respect to the matter referred to herein
and no  waiver or  modification  to the terms  hereof  shall be valid  unless in
writing  signed by the party to be charged  and only to the extent  therein  set
forth. All prior and contemporaneous  agreements and understandings  between the
parties  with respect to the subject  matter of this  Employment  Agreement  are
superseded by this Employment Agreement.

         13.  Severability.  If any  provision in this  Employment  Agreement is
invalid,  illegal and  unenforceable,  the balance of this Employment  Agreement
shall remain in effect,  and if any provision is  inapplicable  to any person or
circumstance,  it shall nevertheless  remain applicable to all other persons and
circumstances.

          14.  Waiver of Breach.  A waiver by the  Company or the  Employee of a
breach of any  provision  of this  Agreement  by the other  party shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any  subsequent  breach by the other
party.

         15. Non-Assignability.  This Employment Agreement shall be binding upon
and  inure  to the  benefit  of the  parties  hereto,  their  respective  heirs,
administrators,  executors,  personal  representatives,  successors and assigns;
provided,  however, that this Employment Agreement may not be assigned by any of
the parties hereto other than by and among Employer and any subsidiaries  and/or
affiliates as may be established from time to time.

 in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

         17. Withholding. All payments hereunder shall be subject to withholding
and to such other  deductions  as shall at the time of such  payment be required

other  jurisdiction,   and,  in  the  case  of  payments  to  the  executors  or
administrators  of the  Employee's  estate,  the  delivery  to  Employer  of all

STEVE SPRINGSTEEL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        This Agreement is entered into as of July 22, 2002 (the

        1. 	Duties and Scope of Employment.

               
(a) 	Positions and Duties.  As of the Effective Date, Executive will serve as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.  Executive will render such business and professional services as are consistent with Executive's position within the Company, or as shall reasonably be assigned to him by the
Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").  The period of Executive's employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the
"Employment Term."  Executive shall be appointed to the Company's Board, subject to stockholder or other necessary approval. 

               
(b) 	Obligations.  During the Employment Term, Executive will perform his duties faithfully and to the best of his ability and will devote his full business efforts and time to the Company.  For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in (i) any other employment, occupation or consulting activity, or (ii) any consulting activity in which Executive is engaged as of the Effective Date, if the same would adversely affect
Executive's ability to continue to render services to the Company as contemplated by this Agreement, in each case for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board.

               
(c) 	At-Will Employment. The parties agree that Executive's employment with the Company will be
"at-will" employment and may be terminated at any time with or without cause or notice.  Executive understands and agrees that neither his job performance nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like from the Company give rise to or in any way serve as the basis for modification, amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of his employment with the Company.

        2. 	Compensation.

               
(a) 	Base Salary.  During the Employment Term, the Company will pay Executive an annual salary of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), which salary may be increased from time to time (the

Executive's salary will be subject to review and adjustment per the Company's normal performance review practices. 

               
(b) 	Quarterly Bonus.  Upon the achievement of performance objectives to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion at the beginning of each quarter, Executive shall be eligible to receive a quarterly bonus (the
"Quarterly Bonus") which in aggregate shall equal a targeted maximum annual bonus of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000), less applicable withholding.   The Quarterly Bonus will be paid in arrears, in the month immediately following the end of each fiscal quarter, in the amounts determined by the Board provided Executive is still employed by the Company at the time such bonus is payable.

               
(c) 	Employee Benefits.  During the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to other senior executives of the Company, including, without limitation, the

EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THE COMPANY WILL PAY FOR ANY ADMINISTRATIVE OR HEARING FEES CHARGED BY THE ARBITRATOR OR AAA EXCEPT THAT EXECUTIVE SHALL PAY THE FIRST $200.00 OF ANY FILING FEES ASSOCIATED WITH ANY ARBITRATION EXECUTIVE INITIATES.   EXECUTIVE AGREES THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL ADMINISTER AND CONDUCT ANY ARBITRATION IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE RULES AND THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE AAA'S NATIONAL RULES FOR THE RESOLUTION OF EMPLOYMENT DISPUTES CONFLICT WITH THE RULES, THE RULES SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE.  EXECUTIVE AGREES THAT THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE IN WRITING.

               
(c) 	Remedy.  EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY THE RULES AND THIS AGREEMENT, ARBITRATION SHALL BE THE SOLE, EXCLUSIVE AND FINAL REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN EXECUTIVE AND THE COMPANY.  ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BY THE RULES AND THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER EXECUTIVE NOR THE COMPANY WILL BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE COURT ACTION REGARDING CLAIMS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. NOTWITHSTANDING, THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DISREGARD OR REFUSE TO ENFORCE ANY LAWFUL COMPANY POLICY, AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT ORDER OR REQUIRE THE COMPANY TO ADOPT A POLICY NOT OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW WHICH THE COMPANY HAS NOT ADOPTED. 

               
(d) 	Availability of Injunctive Relief.  IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT UNDER THE RULES TO PETITION THE COURT FOR PROVISIONAL RELIEF, EXECUTIVE AGREES THAT ANY PARTY MAY ALSO PETITION THE COURT FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF WHERE EITHER PARTY ALLEGES OR CLAIMS A VIOLATION OF THE EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN EXECUTIVE AND THE COMPANY OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT REGARDING TRADE SECRETS, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, NONSOLICITATION OR LABOR CODE
SECTION 2870.  EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THAT ANY BREACH OR THREATENED BREACH OF SUCH AN AGREEMENT WILL CAUSE IRREPARABLE INJURY AND THAT MONEY DAMAGES WILL NOT PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE REMEDY THEREFOR AND BOTH PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN INJUNCTION.  IN THE EVENT EITHER PARTY SEEKS INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, THE PREVAILING PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER REASONABLE COSTS AND ATTORNEYS FEES.

               
(e) 	Administrative Relief.  EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT PROHIBIT HIM FROM PURSUING AN ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM WITH A LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL ADMINISTRATIVE BODY SUCH AS THE DEPARTMENT OF FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING, THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION OR THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD.  THIS AGREEMENT DOES, HOWEVER, PRECLUDE HIM FROM PURSUING COURT ACTION REGARDING ANY SUCH CLAIM.

EXECUTIVE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT EXECUTIVE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT HE HAS ASKED ANY QUESTIONS NEEDED FOR HIM TO UNDERSTAND THE TERMS, CONSEQUENCES AND BINDING EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FULLY UNDERSTANDS IT, INCLUDING THAT EXECUTIVE IS WAIVING HIS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.  FINALLY, EXECUTIVE AGREES THAT HE HAS BEEN PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY OF
EXECUTIVE'S CHOICE BEFORE SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT.
