                            SALE OF HOGAN S-8 SHARES

HOGAN received Eighty Thousand shares of GLOBAL's Common Stock pursuant to
GLOBAL's S-8 employee compensation plan, which HOGAN gave to TAYLOR and/or
TOMAHAWK for sale. TAYLOR and/or TOMAHAWK sold such shares and have been holding
the proceeds. HOGAN hereby agrees with TAYLOR and TOMAHAWK that the value of the
shares, and the principal amount payable to him, is One Hundred Sixty Thousand
Dollars ($160,000), which sum TAYLOR and TOMAHAWK acknowledge is due and owing
to HOGAN. In addition to such principal amount, TAYLOR and TOMAHAWK hereby agree
to pay to HOGAN the sum of Eighteen Thousand Dollars ($18,000) for interest and
deferred reimbursement of the federal and state income taxes payable by HOGAN on

creditor. To accomodate him, TAYLOR purchased the debt from Johnson and became

Two Hundred Fifty Thousand shares of GLOBAL's Common Stock pursuant to GLOBAL's
S-8 employee compensation plan, transferred such shares to TAYLOR and/or

the proceeds. TAYLOR and TOMAHAWK acknowledge indebtedness to PRINGLE in the
amount of $87,500, which sum is the difference between the $250,000 indebtedness
and the $337,500 fair market value of the 250,000 shares on the date of
issuance. PRINGLE hereby transfers the proceeds, net of the $87,500 liability,
to TAYLOR and/or TOMAHAWK in lieu of all interest, loan costs and all other
liabilities in connection with the loan. Such $87,500 shall be paid as provided
in Article VII below.

Thousand Dollars ($25,000) being paid by GLOBAL in the event that WESTOR did not
raise the funds. WESTOR did not raise the funds and the offering was terminated
and the sales which had occurred were rescinded. Such $25,000 shall be paid as
provided in Article VII below.
