I|C|M|B  OCEAN TOMO

                                ENGAGEMENT LETTER
                                -----------------

October 8, 2003

Mr. Jason Geng
CEO
Genex Technologies, Inc.
10605 Concord Street, Suite 500
Kensington, MD 20895-2504

Dear Mr. Geng

We are pleased to confirm our understanding that Genex Technologies, Inc.
("Genex", or the "Company") has engaged Ocean Tomo, LLC, d.b.a. I|C|M|B Ocean
Tomo ("Ocean Tomo") as its exclusive - outside strategic advisor solely in
connection with a Transaction (as defined below) involving the Company, and
expressly not in connection with any activities not involving a potential
Transaction (including, but not limited to, legal, tax, accounting, or other
similar strategic advisory services), on the terms and conditions set forth
below.

1.       SERVICES. In connection with its engagement hereunder, Ocean Tomo will,
         as appropriate and as requested by the Company, advise and assist the
         Company in analyzing and evaluating the business, operations and
         financial position of the Company (including performing financial and
         intellectual property valuation analysis) in connection with the
         evaluation of potential Transactions; (b) advising the Company in
         connection with potential Transactions, (c) performing such other
         consulting services as we may agree upon; and (d) if the Company
         chooses to pursue one or more potential Transactions: (i) assisting the
         Company to identify potential opportunities for such Transactions as
         may be requested by the Company, (ii) advising the Company concerning
         such opportunities, (iii) participating, under the direction of the
         Company, on the Company's behalf in negotiations regarding potential
         Transactions, and (iv) rendering an opinion as to the fairness from a
         financial point of view of the consideration to be paid pursuant to any
         such potential Transaction, as may be reasonably requested by the
         Company. Ocean Tomo does not, however, guarantee any success in
         consummating a Transaction for the Company, and shall have no liability
         to the Company in the event no Transaction occurs. The Company
         acknowledges and agrees that (A) Ocean Tomo is being retained solely to
         assist the Company in its efforts to effect a Transaction and (B) Ocean
         Tomo is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary of the Company
         and shall have no duties or liabilities to the equity holders or
         creditors of the Company or any other person by virtue of this letter
         agreement and the retention of Ocean Tomo hereunder, all of which are
         hereby expressly waived. Ocean Tomo is not a registered broker-dealer
         and will not engage in effecting securities transactions or otherwise
         engage in any other activities that require broker-dealer registration.

2.       COMPENSATION. The Company will pay to Ocean Tomo a consulting retainer
         in the amount of $20,000 per month for a three-month period. Monthly
         consulting retainer payments shall be made upon acceptance of this
         letter agreement and sixty and ninety days - thereafter. Such payments
         shall be non-refundable, except upon the material breach by Ocean Tomo
         of this letter agreement, and are not contingent upon completion of any
         Transaction or specified performance by either Ocean Tomo or the
         Company. The retainer payments will be credited towards the Advisory
         Fee, provided that the aggregate of the retainer payments and Advisory
         Fee shall not be less than $210,000 (i.e., if the Advisory Fee is
         $200,000, then $50,000 of the retainer will be credited so that the
         aggregate payment will be $210,000).

         If a Transaction is consummated, during the term of this letter
         agreement or during the ensuing 6 month period thereafter, the Company
         shall pay to Ocean Tomo an "Advisory Fee." The Advisory Fee, which

         shall be payable in cash upon consummation of the Transaction, shall be
         calculated as the greater of (i) $150,000 and (ii) a percentage of the
         Aggregate Value of the Transaction as follows (the "Percentage Fee"):

         ------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

         The "Aggregate Value" means the aggregate value of all cash, securities
         and other property paid to the Company and/or its stockholders for the
         Company or its equity in connection with a Transaction, including all
         indebtedness of the Company repaid or assumed, directly or indirectly,
         (by operation of law or otherwise) in connection with such Transaction.
         In the event that the consideration received in a Transaction is paid
         in whole or in part in the form of securities or other property, then,
         for purposes of calculating the Advisory Fee hereunder, the value of
         such securities or other property shall be the fair market value
         thereof (as agreed upon by the parties) on the day immediately
         preceding the consummation of such Transaction; provided, however, that
         if such securities consist of securities with an existing public
         trading market, the value thereof shall be determined by the average of
         the last sales prices of such securities on the 20 trading days
         immediately preceding the consummation of such Transaction. Any amounts
         payable to the Company, any stockholder of the Company or any affiliate
         of the Company in connection with a non-competition, employment,
         consulting, licensing, supply or other agreement shall be deemed
         consideration, except in the case of non-competition, employment or
         consulting agreements to the extent such amounts represent the fair
         value of services to be rendered. Any contingent or conditional
         consideration will be valued using generally accepted valuation methods
         as used agreed upon by the parties. If the consideration to be paid is
         computed in a foreign currency, the value of such foreign currency, for
         purposes of calculating the Advisory Fee, shall be converted into U.S.
         Dollars at the average of the exchange rate for the 20 trading days
         immediately preceding the date on which the Transaction is consummated.

         "Transaction" shall include any sale or other form of transaction
         whereby, directly or indirectly, control of, or a material interest in,
         the Company or any portion of its businesses or assets is transferred
         for consideration to 3M or any of its divisions or subsidiaries,
         including, without limitation, a sale or exchange of capital stock or
         assets, a merger or consolidation, a tender or exchange offer, or any
         similar transaction which results in the transfer, sale or license of a
         business, product, technology, intellectual property, or other asset of
         the Company. It is the intention of the parties to have the Advisory
         Fee be approximately the same regardless of the form of the
         Transaction.

         With the prior, written consent of the Company, the definition of
         "Transaction" shall be expanded to include additional third parties
         beyond 3M provided Ocean Tomo receives prior written approval from the
         Company of each specific party being contacted by Ocean Tomo in regards
         to a possible Transaction as contemplated by this letter agreement.

3.       CONFIDENTIALITY. In connection with this engagement, the Company agrees
         to furnish Ocean Tomo with all information concerning the Company that
         is necessary for Ocean Tomo to perform its functions under this letter

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

         agreement, and to provide it with access to the Company's officers,
         directors, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives,
         it being understood that Ocean Tomo will rely solely upon such
         information supplied by the Company and its representatives, without
         assuming any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such
         information, or the independent investigation or verification thereof.
         The Company represents that all information furnished by it or on its
         behalf to Ocean Tomo will be accurate and complete in all material
         respects at the time it is supplied.

         Ocean Tomo hereby agrees to use all information provided to it by the
         Company solely for the purpose of rendering services to the Company
         pursuant to this engagement, and to treat confidentially such
         information for so long as such information remains non-public. Ocean
         Tomo will not disclose any such information to a third party without
         the prior consent of the Company and then only to those persons who
         have a strict need to know and who are subject to a like
         confidentiality obligation as that embodied hereby, unless Ocean Tomo
         is requested or is legally required (by oral questions,
         interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil
         investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any such
         information and has provided the Company with notice of any of the
         foregoing and an opportunity to object to such demand or request. Ocean
         Tomo agrees to keep all information strictly confidential and will
         accord the information at least the level of protection that Ocean Tomo
         accords its own highly confidential, trade secret, and proprietary
         business information, which level shall be, at a minimum, that of a
         reasonably prudent person. Ocean Tomo acknowledges and agrees that the
         information provided by the Company is the confidential and proprietary
         business information of the Company, and further contains trade secrets
         of the Company, whose whole or partial disclosure, or improper use,
         whether deliberate or inadvertent, will irreparably harm the Company.

4.       TERM OF AGREEMENT. Subject to early termination in accordance with
         Section 8(e) below, this letter agreement shall continue in full force
         and effect for 6 months.

5.       EXPENSES. The Company hereby agrees to reimburse Ocean Tomo for all
         reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred after the date of this
         letter agreement in connection with the performance of the services
         described herein, including, but not limited to, travel, meals,
         lodging, expenses for presentation and financial materials; provided,
         however, that Ocean Tomo shall not be reimbursed for any legal fees or
         related expenses. Such expenses will be payable promptly upon Ocean
         Tomo's written request, which request shall include documentation
         evidencing the expenses incurred. Ocean Tomo agrees not to incur any
         individual expense greater than $ 1,000 nor expenses greater than
         $5,000 in the aggregate without the prior written consent of the
         Company.

6.       INDEMNIFICATION. Since Ocean Tomo will be acting on behalf of the
         Company in connection with its engagement hereunder, Annex A attached
         hereto and incorporated herein sets forth the agreement of the parties
         relating to the indemnification by the Company of Ocean Tomo and its
         affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, partners,
         members, managers, agents, representatives and employees. The terms and
         provisions of Annex A will survive any termination or expiration of
         this letter agreement.

8.       OTHER MATTERS.

         (a)      Any advice or opinions provided by Ocean Tomo may not be
                  disclosed by the Company or any of its directors, officers,
                  employees or representatives or referred to publicly or to any
                  third party by any of them except in accordance with Ocean
                  Tomo's written consent.

         (b)      The Company represents that it has all requisite power and
                  authority to enter into this letter agreement, and that this
                  letter agreement has been duly and validly authorized by all
                  necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and has
                  been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

         (c)      The terms and conditions of this letter agreement shall not be
                  amended or modified and this letter agreement may not be
                  assigned except by written agreement of both parties.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

         (d)      This letter agreement may not be assigned by Ocean Tomo, by
                  operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written
                  consent of the Company. This letter agreement shall be binding
                  upon the Company and Ocean Tomo and their respective
                  successors and assigns.

         (e)      The Company or Ocean Tomo may terminate this letter agreement
                  with thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party
                  hereto. In the event of any termination of Ocean Tomo's
                  engagement by the Company, the Company shall continue to be
                  obligated to pay and Ocean Tomo shall continue to be entitled
                  to receive all consideration for retainer payments that are
                  due and owing prior to the effective date of the termination,
                  and reimbursement for expenses incurred prior to the effective
                  date of the termination. In the event of any termination of
                  Ocean Tomo's engagement hereunder by the Company, the Company
                  shall continue to be obligated to pay and Ocean Tomo shall
                  continue to be entitled to receive all consideration set forth
                  in Paragraphs 2 and 5 above, including receipt of compensation
                  in the event a Transaction is closed with (i) third parties
                  originally contacted by Ocean Tomo with the written permission
                  of the Company, or at the written request of the Company, or
                  (ii) third parties with whom the Company and/or Ocean Tomo
                  with the prior written consent of the Company had discussions,
                  each during the term of this engagement.

         (f)      Until the termination of this letter agreement, the Company
                  will not solicit or negotiate with or retain any other outside
                  strategic advisor placement agent or underwriter in connection
                  with: (i) the Transaction, and (ii) any other business where
                  the engagement of such other outside strategic advisor or
                  agent there could create a potential conflict of interest
                  between Ocean Tomo and such other advisor as determined in the
                  reasonable judgment of the Company in consultation with Ocean
                  Tomo.

         (g)      This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in
                  accordance with the laws of the state of Illinois, in the
                  United States of America.

         (h)      This letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
                  the parties and supersedes and cancels any and all prior or
                  contemporaneous arrangements, understandings and agreements,
                  written or oral, between them relating to the subject matter
                  hereof.

We are delighted to accept this engagement and look forward to working with you.
If this letter agreement correctly sets forth your understanding of our
agreement, please execute where indicated below and return to the attention of
Ocean Tomo an original executed version at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

John A. Amster

                                     ANNEX A

                           INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

         Pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement dated as of October __,
         2003, by and between Genex Technologies, Inc. ("Genex", or the
         "Company") and Ocean Tomo, LLC, d.b.a. I|C|M|B Ocean Tomo ("Ocean
         Tomo") to which this Annex A is attached (as amended, restated or
         otherwise modified from time to time, the "Agreement"), the Company
         agrees (a) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Ocean Tomo and its
         affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, partners,
         members, managers, agents, representatives and employees (Ocean Tomo
         and each such entities or persons being referred to as an "Indemnified
         Person"), from and against any losses, claims, demands, damages or
         liabilities of any kind relating to or arising out of activities
         performed or services furnished pursuant to the Agreement, any matters
         related thereto or Ocean Tomo's role in connection therewith, and (b)
         to reimburse each Indemnified Person for all reasonable expenses
         (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by
         such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing or
         defending any investigative, administrative, judicial or regulatory
         action or proceeding in any jurisdiction related to or arising out of
         such activities, services, matters or role, whether or not in
         connection with pending or threatened litigation to which any
         Indemnified Person is a party, in each case as such reasonable expenses
         are incurred or paid, other than any such losses, claims, demands,
         damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent they result from an
         Indemnified Person's gross negligence, recklessness or willful
         misconduct. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall
         have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or
         otherwise) to it or any of its securityholders or creditors for or in
         connection with the Agreement, any matters related thereto or Ocean
         Tomo's role or services in connection therewith, except for any such
         liability for losses, claims, demands, damages, liabilities or expenses
         incurred by the Company to the extent they result from any Indemnified
         Person's gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct.

         Ocean Tomo shall use its reasonable efforts to notify the Company of
         any claim for indemnification hereunder. Should any lawsuit,
         administrative proceeding or self-regulatory organization proceeding
         (collectively, a "Proceeding") be formally instituted against Ocean
         Tomo or any Indemnified Person based, directly or indirectly, on Ocean
         Tomo's engagement under the Agreement, the Company will be entitled to
         participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the
         defense of the Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
         Ocean Tomo, so long as the Company continues to pay all costs and
         expenses of the defense and preparation for such Proceeding. Even if
         the Company assumes the defense of a Proceeding, each Indemnified
         Person will have the right to participate in such Proceeding and to
         retain its own counsel at such Indemnified Person's own expense.
         Furthermore, each Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ its
         own counsel in any Proceeding and to require the Company to pay all
         reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as they are incurred if:
         (a) such Indemnified Person has been advised by such counsel that there
         may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or
         additional to defenses available to the Company (in which case the
         Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of the
         Proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Person); (b) the Company shall
         not have assumed the defense of the Proceeding and employed counsel
         reasonably satisfactory to Ocean Tomo in a timely matter; or (c) the
         Company shall have authorized the employment of such counsel in
         connection with the defense of the Proceeding.

         No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any settlement of any
         litigation or proceeding effected without Ocean Tomo's written consent,
         provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
         Company will not, without Ocean Tomo's written consent, settle,
         compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek
         to terminate any claim, action or proceeding in respect of which
         indemnity may be sought hereunder, whether or not any Indemnified
         Person is an actual or potential party thereto, unless such settlement,
         compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of
         each Indemnified Person from any liabilities arising out of such claim,
         action or proceeding.

         If the foregoing indemnification is judicially determined to be
         unavailable to an Indemnified Person (other than in accordance with the
         terms hereof), the Company shall contribute to the losses, claims,
         demands, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein that are
         paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is

                                      -5-

         appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and its
         securityholders and creditors, on the one hand, and the Indemnified
         Person, on the other hand, in any transaction, and any other relevant
         equitable considerations.

         THE COMPANY AND OCEAN TOMO AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS TO ENFORCE THE
         AGREEMENT AND THIS ANNEX A AND ALL DISPUTES AMONG OR BETWEEN THEM
         ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
         RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG OR BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THE
         AGREEMENT AND THIS ANNEX A, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY,
         OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY A COURT LOCATED IN COOK COUNTY,
         ILLINOIS, AND THE COMPANY AND OCEAN TOMO HEREBY CONSENT AND SUBMIT TO
         THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT. THE COMPANY AND OCEAN TOMO HEREBY WAIVE
         ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
         (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) RELATED TO OR ARISING
         OUT OF THE AGREEMENT, THIS ANNEX A OR OCEAN TOMO'S PERFORMANCE OF THE
         SERVICES REFERRED TO IN THE AGREEMENT.

         If multiple claims are brought against any Indemnified Person or
         Indemnified Persons in an arbitration related to, arising out of or in
         connection with Ocean Tomo's engagement under the Agreement, with
         respect to at least one of which such claims indemnification is
         permitted and provided for hereunder, the Company agrees that any
         arbitration award shall be conclusively deemed to be based on claims as
         to which indemnification is permitted and provided for hereunder,
         except to the extent the arbitration award expressly states that the
         award, or any portion thereof, is based solely on a claim as to which
         indemnification is unavailable. The provisions of this Annex A shall be
         governed by Illinois law and shall survive any expiration, termination
         or completion of the Agreement or Ocean Tomo's engagement under the
         Agreement.

EXHIBIT 10.8

MARKLAND ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF HOMELAND SECURITY COMPANY GENEX TECHNOLOGIES
INC
Monday February 14, 7:31 pm ET

SUPPLIER OF ADVANCED SURVEILLANCE AND SECURITY SOLUTIONS

MARKLAND COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF GENEX THROUGH NEW MAJORITY OWNED PUBLIC
SUBSIDIARY TECHNEST HOLDINGS INC.

RIDGEFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2005-- Markland Technologies, Inc.
(OTC BB:MRKL.OB - News), an integrated homeland security company,
(http://www.marklandtech.com) announced today that it has completed a multi part
transaction which includes the purchase of majority ownership of Technest
Holdings Inc (OTC BB:THNS.OB - News), a company that prior to this acquisition
had no operations but was traded on the OTC bulletin board and the subsequent
purchase by Technest Holdings Inc of all of the stock of Maryland based Genex
Technologies, Inc. (Genex) (http://www.genextech.com) for $3M in cash and $7M in
Markland Technologies stock.

Genex is a supplier of advanced imaging, surveillance and security sensor
technologies. The transaction is in keeping with Markland's recently announced
strategic initiatives. The company believes that the acquisition of Genex will
provide important advanced strategic capabilities in a range of technologies,
including video surveillance, biometrics, disposable sensors as well as basic
research and development expertise.

Genex revenues derive principally from 20 ongoing contracts to supply imaging
and surveillance sensor technology to a wide array of government customers.
Genex has 32 employees located in their Maryland facilities and had revenues for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 of approximately $5.5M. Markland
believes Genex , which has a patent portfolio of over 20 issued and pending US
patents for video and imaging technologies is well positioned to capture
additional sales in the United States within the Department of Homeland Security
and the Department of Defense.

Founded in 1995, Genex has an established history in video surveillance sensor
science. Its Surveillance Group provides innovative sensor and algorithm
solutions that are small, tactical, low power and low cost solutions. Its
surveillance technologies combine powerful algorithms, such as object tracking
and image enhancement, with revolutionary wide-area, 360-degree sensors. These
solutions operate in visible, near-infrared, infrared, and acoustic wavelengths.
Within its biometrics technologies the 3D Facial Recognition Group develops
tools for enhancing facial recognition. By leveraging the power of 3D, Genex
enables existing recognition systems to perform reliably while advancing
progress towards total 3D systems. The company's tools allow for seamless
integration of capabilities, such as 2D-to-3D face conversion and compensation
for pose, lighting, expression, aging, and weight. Management believes that
Genex expertise has particular impact within the DOD and Homeland Security
market place.

Markland Chairman and CEO Robert Tarini stated, "We are pleased about this
acquisition. It will enhance our research capabilities as we add another highly
capable group of Genex scientists to our own research and development team. We
also gain very desirable products, technologies and intellectual property in the
areas of video surveillance and facial biometrics. The addition of Genex will
continue to expand our operations and our visibility within the Homeland
Security arena. It fits well into our Homeland Security business plan and
creates another established revenue stream for the company."

Additional details as they pertain to these transactions will be available in
the company's filings on Form 8K with the SEC. We expect to file audited
financial information for Genex and pro forma financial information for Markland
and Genex on a combined basis in accordance with SEC requirements. Additional
details concerning acquisition of Genex, the terms of employment issued to key
employees and the financing will be available in the company's filings on Form
8K with the SEC.
