without limitation, the Assignment, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Company and Employee agree as follows.

          1.  Employment.  Effective on the Effective Date (as defined in
Section 2) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Company agrees to employ Employee as its Vice President - Development, and
Employee agrees to perform the duties associated with that position diligently

          2.  Term and Termination.  Employee will be employed under this
Agreement for an initial term of two years (the "Initial Term"), beginning on
the date of the Agreement (the "Effective Date").  This Agreement shall renew
for successive one year periods after the completion of the Initial Term unless

Employee's base salary and employee benefits pursuant to Section 4 hereof for a
period of six (6) months after such termination; and (b) the provisions of
Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof will survive any termination of this Agreement for
any reason in accordance with their terms.  As used in this Agreement,
termination for "Cause" shall mean any termination of Employee for (a) refusal

involving moral turpitude, (d) consistent willful misconduct or negligence in
performing Employee's duties hereunder, (e) breach of fiduciary duty in
connection with Employee's employment by the Company or (f) a breach of any of
the terms of this Agreement.

          3.  Compensation.  Beginning on the Effective Date and thereafter
during the term of Employee's employment, the Company will pay Employee a base
salary at the rate of $150,000 per year, payable biweekly or semi-monthly in
accordance with the payroll practices of the Company in effect from time to
time; provided, that as part of the consideration for the Assignment and the
agreements made herein, the Company shall pay to Employee effective on the date
hereof an amount equal to the Employee's bi-weekly or semi-monthly salary.  Such
base salary shall be subject to review and potential adjustment annually, in
accordance with the compensation policies of the Company in effect from time to
time.  Employee shall also, during the term of his employment hereunder, be
eligible for an annual discretionary incentive bonus of up to 15% of Employee's

fringe benefits, perquisites, vacation and other benefits that the Company
provides to its similarly situated employees.  The Company will reimburse
Employee for reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred and documented
in accordance with the policies of the Company in effect from time to time.

          5.  Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights.

               (a) In consideration of the Company's agreement to employ
     Employee and the receipt by the Employee of Confidential Information,
     Employee hereby assigns to the Company all of his rights in all
     Intellectual Property which Employee makes or conceives, whether as a sole
     inventor or as a joint inventor, whether made within or outside working
     hours or upon the premises of the Company or elsewhere, during Employee's
     employment with the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates.  This
     assignment shall not apply to Intellectual Property that Employee has an
     obligation to assign to a former employer. "Intellectual Property" means
     any information of a technical and/or business nature such as ideas,
     discoveries, inventions, trade secrets, know-how, and writings and other
     works of authorship which relate in any manner to the actual or anticipated
     business or research and development of the Company, its subsidiaries or
     affiliates.

               (b) During and subsequent to Employee's employment, upon the
     request and at the expense of the Company or its nominee and for no
     additional personal remuneration, Employee agrees to execute any instrument
     which the Company considers necessary to secure for or maintain for the
     benefit of the Company adequate patent and other property rights in the
     United States and all foreign countries with respect to any

                                       2
<PAGE>

     Intellectual Property. Employee also agrees to assist the Company as
     required to draft said instruments and to obtain and enforce said rights.

               (c) Employee agrees to promptly disclose to the Company any
     Intellectual Property when conceived or made by Employee, in whole or in
     part, and to make and maintain adequate and current records thereof.  Upon
     the termination of Employee's employment for any reason, Employee agrees to
     promptly turn over to the Company all models, prototypes, drawings,
     records, documents, and the like in Employee's possession or under
     Employee's control, whether prepared by Employee or others, relating to
     Intellectual Property, and any other work done for the Company related
     thereto.  Employee acknowledges that all such items are the sole property
     of the Company.

               (d) Employee agrees that any Intellectual Property disclosed by
     Employee within one (1) year following termination of Employee's employment
     for any reason shall be the sole property of the Company unless and until
     finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been made
     or conceived after the termination of Employee's employment.

     6.  Confidential Information.

               (a) In the course of performing services for the Company under
     this Agreement, Employee may receive or have access to commercially
     valuable, confidential or proprietary information.  "Confidential
     Information" means all confidential information, whether oral or written,
     now or hereafter developed, acquired or used by the Company and relating to
     the business of the Company that is not generally known to others in the
     Company's area of business, including without limitation (to the extent
     confidential) (i) any trade secrets, work product, processes, analyses,
     know-how, software and hardware development information or other
     Intellectual Property of the Company; (ii) the Company's advertising,
     product development, strategic and business plans and information; (iii)
     customer lists and prices at which the Company has sold or offered to sell
     its products or services; and (iv) the Company's financial statements and
     other financial information.

               (b) Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential
     Information (to the extent it can be owned) is and will be the sole and
     exclusive property of the Company.  Employee will not use any Confidential
     Information for his own benefit or disclose any Confidential Information to
     any third party (except in the course of performing his authorized duties
     for the Company under this Agreement), either during or subsequent to his
     employment with the Company. Upon termination of his employment with the
     Company, Employee will promptly deliver to the Company all documents,
     computer disks and other computer storage devices and other papers and
     materials (including all copies thereof in whatever form) containing or
     incorporating any Confidential Information or otherwise relating in any way
     to the Company's business that are in his possession or under his control.
     Employee also agrees not to disclose to the Company any Confidential
     Information belonging to others.

                                       3

          7.  Restrictive Covenant.  For purposes hereof, the "Noncompetition
Period" will begin on the Effective Date and end eighteen (18) months after the
date Employee's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason.  In
consideration of the Company's agreement to employ Employee and the receipt by
the Employee of Confidential Information, Employee hereby agrees that, during
the Noncompetition Period, he will not (except in the course of performing his
authorized duties for the Company under this Agreement), directly or indirectly,
on his own behalf or as an officer, director, employee, consultant or other
agent of, or as a stockholder, partner or other investor in, any person or
entity (other than the Company or its affiliates):

               (a) engage in any business conducted by the Company, its
     subsidiaries or affiliates and any business competitive with the business
     conducted by the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively a
     "Competing Business") within any geographic area in which the Company, its
     subsidiaries or affiliates conducts any business, or in which businesses
     competitive with the businesses of the Company, its subsidiaries or
     affiliates are conducted (the "Territory"), or give advice or lend credit,
     money or Employee's reputation to any natural person or entity engaged in
     or establishing a Competing Business in the Territory or;

               (b) directly or indirectly influence or attempt to influence any
     customer, potential customer, supplier or accounts of the Company, its
     subsidiaries or affiliates located within the Territory to purchase, sell
     or lease goods or services related to a Competing Business other than from
     or to the Company; or

               (c) solicit, encourage, or take any other action which is
     intended, directly or indirectly, to induce any other employee of the
     Company to terminate his or her employment with the Company, or interfere
     in any manner with the contractual or employment relationship between the
     Company and any other employees of the Company, or hire or attempt to hire
     any former employee of the Company whose termination from employment has
     been effective for ninety (90) days or less;

provided, that the foregoing will not apply to any investment in publicly traded
securities constituting less than 5% of the outstanding securities in such
class.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "affiliate" means with respect
to any person or entity any other person or entity controlling, controlled by or
under common control with such person or entity.

          8.  Enforcement.

               (a) Employee represents to the Company that he is willing and
     able to engage in businesses other than a Competing Business within the
     Territory and that enforcement of the restrictions set forth in Section 7
     would not be unduly burdensome to Employee.  The Company and Employee
     acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in Section 7 are
     reasonable as to time, geographic area and scope of activity and do not
     impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and
     other business interests of the Company, and Employee agrees that that the
     Company is justified in believing the foregoing.

                                       4
<PAGE>

               (b) If the provisions of Section 7 are found by a court of
     competent jurisdiction to contain unreasonable or unnecessary limitations
     as to time, geographical area or scope of activity, then such court is
     hereby directed to reform such provisions to the minimum extent necessary
     to cause the limitations contained therein as to time, geographical area
     and scope of activity to be reasonable and enforceable.

               (c) Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company would be
     irreparably harmed by any violation of Employee's obligations under
     Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof and that, in addition to all other rights or
     remedies available at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to
     injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or enjoin any such
     violation.  If Employee violates Section 7, the period of time during which
     the provisions thereof are applicable will automatically be extended for a
     period of time equal to the time that Employee began such violation until
     such violation permanently ceases.

          9.  No Obligation to Third Party.  Employee represents and warrants
that Employee is not under any obligation to any person or other third party and
does not have any other interest which is inconsistent or in conflict with this
Agreement, or which would prevent, limit, or impair Employee's performance of
any of the covenants hereunder or Employee's duties as an employee of the
Company.

          10.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Assignment embody the
complete agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes any prior written, or prior or contemporaneous oral, understandings
or agreements between the parties that related in any way to the subject matter
hereof.  This Agreement may be amended only in writing executed by the Company
and Employee.

          11.  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives and successors of the Company and Employee.

          12.  Notice.  Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement
must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given when delivered
personally, by telecopy or by overnight courier service or three days after
being sent by mail, postage prepaid, to (a) if to the Company, to the Company's
principal place of business, or (b) if to Employee, to his residence or to his
latest address then contained in the Company's records (or to such changed
address as such person may subsequently give notice of in accordance herewith).

          13.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW, RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REQUIRE THE
APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") made as of this 3rd day of
December, 1999 is by and between iiGroup, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its
principal place of business at Suite 501, 7000 W. Palmetto Park Road, Boca
Raton, Florida 33433, and Mull and Page Associates LLC (the "Consultant").

                                R E C I T A L S:
                                 - - - - - - - -

The Company is a public company with a class of equity securities publicly
traded, and desires to retain Consultant to provide certain consulting services.

Consultant desires to provide certain consulting services to the Company in
accordance with the terms and conditions contained hereinafter.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Consulting Services. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant is hereby
retained by the Company to provide marketing and acquisition consulting services
to the Company, as said services relate to corporate finance matters, including,
without limitation, advice regarding acquisitions, consolidations, mergers,
joint ventures, marketing and financial strategies. Consultant shall provide
such marketing and acquisition consulting services as reasonably requested by
the Company during the term of this Agreement, provided that nothing hereunder
shall require Consultant to devote a minimum number of hours per calendar month
toward the performance of services hereunder. The level and scope of services
that may reasonably be requested hereunder shall be dependent, in part, on the
amount of compensation to be paid Consultant by the Company hereunder. Unless
otherwise agreed to by Consultant, all services hereunder shall be performed by
Consultant, in its sole discretion, at its principal place of business or other
offices. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the services
to be performed by Consultant hereunder may be performed by any employee or
consultant to Consultant.

2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for one year commencing as of the
date first written above and terminating one day prior to the first anniversary
hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement shall be renewable for subsequent
one year terms, by mutual agreement of the parties in writing, at least thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration of the then current term.
<PAGE>

3. Compensation. In consideration for the performance of services hereunder, the
Company hereby agrees to issue Greg Paige, a member of Consultant, the aggregate
sum of 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, payable 25,000 shares of
common stock per month for eight months from the date of this Agreement, unless
otherwise agreed to by the parties, as compensation for the term of this
Agreement within 30 days of the execution of this Agreement. The Consultant is
responsible for all of his incidental out of pocket expenses. The Company hereby
agrees to pay on a pre-approval basis extraordinary expenses incurred by
Consultant in connection with such services to be rendered hereunder. Consultant
may, from time to time, deem it to be in the best interests of the Company to
retain an outside consultant in connection with certain specific acquisitions or
proposed transactions. In such event, the Company hereby agrees to pay any and
all fees and expenses of such consultant. In addition, the Company may issue
additional options to Consultant.

4. Representations of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants
that any and all information supplied hereunder to Consultant in connection with
any and all services to be performed hereunder by Consultant for and on behalf
of the Company shall be true, complete and correct as of the date of such
dissemination and shall not fail to state a material fact necessary to make any
of such information not misleading. The Company hereby acknowledges that the
ability of Consultant to adequately provide the aforementioned consulting
services hereunder and/or to initiate and/or effectuate introductions on behalf
of the Company with respect to potential strategic relationships is dependent
upon the prompt dissemination of accurate, correct and complete information to
Consultant. The Company further represents and warrants hereunder that this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder, have been duly and
validly authorized by all requisite corporate action; that the Company has the
full right, power and capacity to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
hereunder; and that this Agreement, upon execution and delivery of the same by
the Company, will represent the valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable in accordance with its terms. The representations and warranties set
forth herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

5.       Indemnification.

                  The Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Consultant, its officers, directors, principals, employees, affiliates,
and shareholders, and their successors and assigns from and against any and all
claims, damages, losses, liability, deficiencies, actions, suits, proceedings,
costs or legal expenses (collectively the "Losses") arising out of or resulting
from: (i) any breach of a representation, or warranty by the Company contained
in this Agreement; or (ii) any activities or services performed hereunder by
Consultant, unless such Losses were the result of the intentional misconduct or
gross misconduct of Consultant; or (iii) any and all costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees) related to the foregoing,
and as more fully described below.

                  If Consultant receives written notice of the commencement of
any legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to which the Company is or may
be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 5, Consultant
shall, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such written notice, give the
Company written notice thereof (a "Claim Notice"). Failure to give such Claim
Notice within such thirty (30) day period shall not constitute a waiver by
Consultant of its right to indemnity hereunder with respect to such action, suit
or proceeding. Upon receipt by the Company of a Claim Notice from Consultant
with respect to any claim for indemnification which is based upon a claim made
by a third party ("Third Party Claim"), Consultant may assume the defense of the
Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing, as described below. The
Company shall cooperate in the defense of the Third Party Claim and shall
furnish such records, information and testimony and attend all such conferences,
discovery proceedings, hearings, trial and appeals as may be reasonably required
in connection therewith. Consultant shall have the right to employ its own
counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of Consultant unless the Company shall not have promptly employed
counsel to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, in which event such fees
and expenses shall be borne solely by the Company. The Company shall not satisfy
or settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification has been sought and is
available hereunder, without the prior written consent of Consultant. If the
Company shall fail with reasonable promptness either to defend such Third Party
Claim or to satisfy or settle the same, Consultant may defend, satisfy or settle
the Third Party Claim at the expense of the Company and the Company shall pay to
Consultant the amount of any such Loss within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor. The indemnification provisions hereunder shall survive the termination
of this Agreement.

Agreement shall be valid unless the same is evidenced by a written instrument,
executed by the party against which such modification, waiver, amendment,
discharge, or change is sought.

be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in

such other address as any party hereto shall designate to the other for such

8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the understandings and
agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter discussed herein.
All prior agreements, whether written or oral, are merged herein and shall be of
no force or effect.

9. Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision
or provisions of this Agreement will not affect any other provision of this
Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect, nor will the invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability of a portion of any provision of this Agreement
affect the balance of such provision. In the event that any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement or any portion thereof shall for any
reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this
Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

10. Construction and Enforcement. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without application of the
principles of conflicts of laws. If it becomes necessary for any party to
institute legal action to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the successful party will be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees at all trial and
appellate levels, expenses and costs. Any suit, action or proceeding with
respect to this Agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts
located in Palm Beach County in the State of Florida. The parties hereto hereby
accept the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts for the purpose of any such
suit, action or proceeding. Venue for any such action, in addition to any other
venue permitted by statute, will be Palm Beach County, Florida. The parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection that any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof brought in Palm Beach
County, Florida, and hereby further irrevocably waive any claim that any suit,
action or proceeding brought in Palm Beach County, Florida, has been brought in
an inconvenient forum.

upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, and their respective successors
and assigns.
