promote the interests of the Company.  It shall not be a violation of
this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or
charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill
speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions, and (C) manage
personal investments, so long as such activities do not interfere with the
performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company in
accordance with this Agreement. The Executive's obligations hereunder shall run
to the Company and to the Company’s subsidiaries.

    

    1.3

provided at any time hereafter with respect to other key
executives.

the Company and its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, medical,
prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life, group life,
accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs), at least as
favorable as the most favorable of such plans, practices, policies and programs

three weeks paid vacation per year, as well as pay for holidays observed by the
Company.

     

    4.           Termination.

    

    4.1        
    Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding
anything contained to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may be
terminated by the Company for Cause.  As used in this Agreement,
“Cause” shall only
mean:

    

    (a) an
act or acts of personal dishonesty taken by the Executive and intended to result
in substantial personal enrichment of the Executive or substantial damages to
the Company;

     

    (b) subject
to the following sentences, a violation by the Executive of the Executive's
material obligations under this Agreement which are demonstrably willful,
persistent and deliberate on the Executive’s part and which are not remedied in
a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from the Company’s
Board of Directors; or

    

    (c) the
conviction of the Executive for any criminal act which is a felony.

    

    (d) any
and all acts that would be deemed as self-dealing that would be reasonably
considered as beneficial to the Company.

    

    Upon any
reasonable and good faith determination by the Company's Board of Directors that
Cause exists under clause (a) of the preceding sentence and clause (b) of the
preceding sentence (to the extent the violation under said clause (b) has not
been cured by the Executive), the Company shall cause a special meeting of the
Board to be called and held at a time mutually convenient to the Board and
Executive, but in no event later than ten (10) business days after Executive's
receipt of the notice contemplated by clauses (a) and (b).  Executive
shall have the right to appear before such special meeting of the Board
with his legal counsel at Executive’s expense to refute any determination of
Cause specified in such notice, and any termination of Executive's employment by
reason of such Cause determination shall not be effective until Executive is
afforded such opportunity to appear.  Any termination for Cause
pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of the first sentence of this Section 4.1 shall be
made in writing to Executive, which notice shall set forth in detail all acts
or omissions upon which the Company is relying for such
termination.  Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 4.1, the
Executive shall be entitled to be paid all of his Base Salary through the date
of the termination.

    

    4.2       
     Disability.  Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, by written notice to
the Executive, shall at all times have the right to terminate this Agreement,
and the Executive's employment hereunder, if the Executive shall, as the
result of mental or physical incapacity, illness or disability, fail to
perform his duties and responsibilities provided for herein for a period of more
than sixty (60) consecutive days in any 12-month period.  Upon any
termination pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Executive shall be entitled to be
paid his Base Salary for 6 months, unless there is a disability policy in
place.   In addition, Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for
all business expenses incurred prior to his disability.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    
 

    4.3     
       Death.  In the event of the
death of the Executive during the Term of his employment hereunder, the Company
shall pay to the estate of the deceased Executive all salary due through the
date of death.

    

    4.4        
    Optional Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive, by giving thirty (30) days
prior written notice to the Company, shall two years after the date of this
Agreement, have the right to terminate this Agreement at his sole
discretion.  Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 4.4, the
Executive shall be entitled to be paid all of his Base Salary due until
termination and any outstanding expenses and the Company shall have no further
liability hereunder thereafter (other than for reimbursement for reasonable
business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination and as to the
vesting of Options pursuant to Section 2.3(d)), unless the Executive and the
Company agree to a different arrangement.

     

    4.5    
        Termination Without
Cause.  At any time the Company shall have the right to terminate
Executive's employment hereunder by written notice to Executive; provided,
however, that the Company shall:

    

    (a) pay
to Executive any all unpaid Base Salary and allow the Executive to enjoy all the
benefits given hereunder for the remaining period of this Employment Agreement,
including the Compensation package referred to in clause 2 hereof, and will
further allow to receive all pro-rata bonus, incentive and option shares that
would be payable had Executive completed the full term of
employment;

    

    (b) pay
to the Executive in a lump sum, in cash or stock within 30 days after the date
of employment termination, an amount equal to the greater of (i) 100% of his
annual Base Salary then in effect, or (ii) the balance of the Executive’s Base
Salary from the effective date of termination through the expiration of the
Initial Term or Renewal Term then in effect as per clause 1 hereof payable as
per the normal salary payment schedule;

    

    (c) continue
to pay the Executive’s health and disability insurance, and all other benefits
referred to in clause 3 hereof for the period of twelve (12) months or the
remainder of the period of the Agreement whichever is shorter; and

    

    (d) The
Company shall be deemed to have terminated the Executive's employment pursuant
to this Section 4.5 if such employment is terminated by the Company without
Cause or as a result of a Change in Control.

    (i) For
purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall
mean:

    

    1) The
acquisition (other than by or from the Company), at any time after the date
hereof, by any person, entity or “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3)
or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the " Exchange Act "), of
beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act) of 50% or more of either the then outstanding shares of common
stock or the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

     

    2) Approval
by the shareholders of the Company of (A) a reorganization, merger or
consolidation with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of the
Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do
not, immediately thereafter, own more than 51% of the combined voting power
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the reorganized,
merged or consolidated company's then outstanding voting securities, (B) a
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (C) the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, unless the approved
reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or sale is
subsequently abandoned; and

    

    3) The
approval by the Board of the sale, distribution and/or other transfer or action
(and/or series of sales, distributions and/or other transfers or actions from
time to time or over a period of time), that results in the Company's ownership
of less than 50% of the Company's current assets.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    5.
 Restrictive Covenants.

     

    5.1         
   Nondisclosure.  During his employment and for twelve
(12) months thereafter, Executive shall not divulge, communicate, use to the
detriment of the Company or for the benefit of any other person or persons, or
misuse in any way, any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined)
pertaining to the business of the Company, unless required to do so by a
governmental agency or court of law.  Any
Confidential Information or data now or hereafter acquired by the Executive
with respect to the business of the Company shall be deemed a valuable, special
and unique asset of the Company that is received by the Executive in confidence
and as a fiduciary, and Executive shall remain a fiduciary to the Company with
respect to all of such information.  For purposes of this Agreement,
"Confidential
Information" means all material information about the Company's business
disclosed to the Executive or known by the Executive as a consequence of or
through his employment by the Company (including information conceived,
originated, discovered or developed by the Executive) after the date hereof, and
not generally
known.          

    

    5.2       
     Non-solicitation of Employees.  While
employed by the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter,
Executive shall not directly or indirectly, for himself or for any other person,

or enter into any contractual arrangement with any employee or former
employee of the Company.

    

    5.3         
   Covenant Not to Compete.  Executive will not, at any
time, during the Term of this Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12) months
thereafter, either directly or indirectly, engage in, with or for any
enterprise, institution, whether or not for profit, business, or company,
competitive with the business (as identified herein) of the Company as such
business may be conducted on the date thereof, as a creditor, guarantor, or
financial backer, stockholder, director, officer, consultant, advisor, employee,
member, or otherwise of or through any corporation, partnership, association,
sole proprietorship or other entity; provided, that an investment by Executive,
his spouse or his children is permitted if such investment is not more than four
percent (4%) of the total debt or equity capital of any such competitive
enterprise or business.  As used in this Agreement, the business of
Employer shall be deemed to include any business which directly competes with
the Company.

    

    5.4      
      Injunction.  It is recognized and
hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto that a breach by the Executive of any
of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 of this Agreement
will cause irreparable harm and damage to the Company, the monetary amount of
which may be virtually impossible to ascertain.  As a result, the
Executive recognizes and hereby acknowledges that the Company shall be entitled
to an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining and
restraining any violation of any or all of the covenants contained in this
Section 5 by the Executive or any of his affiliates, associates, partners
or agents, either directly or indirectly, and that such right to injunction
shall be cumulative and in addition to whatever other remedies the Company may
possess.

    

    6.           Re-negotiate.
This contract may be re-negotiated by the Executive should the circumstances and
the economic situation of the Company change beyond the Company’s
forecast.

    

    7.           Entire
Agreement.  This instrument contains the entire agreement of the
parties, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous statements or
understandings by or between the parties.  This Agreement may be
changed only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is
sought, and any such modification on behalf of the Company must be approved by
the Board.

    

    8.           Governing
Law/Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding choice of
law provisions.

jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Florida located in Broward County and
the courts of the United States located in Florida and, in any such action or
proceeding, consent to jurisdiction in such courts and waive any objection

    10.    
     Successors.

    

    (a) This
Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of
the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution.  This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's legal
representatives.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b) This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its
successors and assigns.

    

    (c)         
   The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place.  As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the
Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets
which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or
otherwise.

    

    11.  
       Severability.  The
invalidity of any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses or
sections contained in this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of the
remaining portions of this Agreement or any part thereof, all of which are
inserted conditionally on their being valid in law, and, in the event that any
one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses or sections contained in
this Agreement shall be declared invalid, this Agreement shall be construed as
if such invalid word or words, phrase or phrases, sentence or sentences, clause
or clauses, or section or sections had not been inserted.  If such
invalidity is caused by length of time or size of area, or both, the otherwise
invalid provision will be considered to be reduced to a period or area which
would cure such invalidity.

    

    12.    
     Waivers.  The waiver by either party
hereto of a breach or violation of any term or provision of this Agreement shall
not operate nor be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or
violation.

    

    13.      
   Damages.  Nothing contained herein shall be
construed to prevent the Company or the Executive from seeking and recovering
from the other damages sustained by either or both of them as a result of its or
his breach of any term or provision of this Agreement.

    

    14.     
    No Third Party Beneficiary.  Nothing expressed
or implied in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon
or give any person (other than the parties hereto and, in the case of Executive,
his heirs, personal representative(s) and/or legal representative) any rights or
remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

    

    15.   
      Counterparts.  This Agreement may
be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all
of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

    

    16.       
  Executive’s Recognition of Agreement.  Executive
acknowledges that Executive has read and understood this Agreement, and agrees
that its terms are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the
Company’s business.  Executive acknowledges that Executive has been
advised by the Company that Executive is entitled to have this Agreement
reviewed by an attorney of Executive’s selection, at Executive’s expense, prior

    4.           Termination.

    

    4.1           
 Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding anything contained to
the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by the Company
for Cause.  As used in this Agreement, “Cause” shall only
mean:

     

    (a) an
act or acts of personal dishonesty taken by the Executive and intended to result
in substantial personal enrichment of the Executive or substantial damages to
the Company;

     

    (b) subject
to the following sentences, a violation by the Executive of the Executive's
material obligations under this Agreement which are demonstrably willful,
persistent and deliberate on the Executive’s part and which are not remedied in
a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from the Company’s
Board of Directors; or

    

    (c) the
conviction of the Executive for any criminal act which is a felony.

    

    (d) any
and all acts that would be deemed as self-dealing that would be reasonably
considered as beneficial to the Company.

    

    Upon any
reasonable and good faith determination by the Company's Board of Directors that
Cause exists under clause (a) of the preceding sentence and clause (b) of the
preceding sentence (to the extent the violation under said clause (b) has not
been cured by the Executive), the Company shall cause a special meeting of the
Board to be called and held at a time mutually convenient to the Board and
Executive, but in no event later than ten (10) business days after Executive's
receipt of the notice contemplated by clauses (a) and (b).  Executive
shall have the right to appear before such special meeting of the Board with his
legal counsel at Executive’s expense to refute any determination of Cause
specified in such notice, and any termination of Executive's employment by
reason of such Cause determination shall not be effective until Executive is
afforded such opportunity to appear.  Any termination for Cause
pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of the first sentence of this Section 4.1 shall be
made in writing to Executive, which notice shall set forth in detail all
acts or omissions upon which the Company is relying for such
termination.  Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 4.1, the
Executive shall be entitled to be paid all of his Base Salary through the date
of the termination.

    

       4.2           Disability.  Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, by written
notice to the Executive, shall at all times have the right to terminate this
Agreement, and the Executive's employment hereunder, if the Executive shall, as
the result of mental or physical incapacity, illness or disability, fail to
perform his duties and responsibilities provided for herein for a period of more
than sixty (60) consecutive days in any 12-month period.  Upon any
termination pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Executive shall be entitled to be
paid his Base Salary for the remaining term of the Agreement.  In the
event that the Agreement has less than six months remaining at such time,
Executive shall be entitled to a payment equal to six months of his Base
Salary.  In addition, Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for
all business expenses incurred prior to his disability.

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    4.3           Death.  In
the event of the death of the Executive during the Term of his employment
hereunder, the Company shall pay to the estate of the deceased Executive an
amount equal to the Base Salary for the remaining term of this Agreement in cash
or stock.  In the event that the Agreement has less than six months
remaining at such time, Executive shall then be entitled to a payment equal to
six months of his Base Salary.  In addition, Executive shall be
entitled to reimbursement for all business expenses incurred prior to his
death.  The Company has the right to get life insurance on the
Executive.

    

    4.4           Optional
Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Executive, by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
Company, shall two years after the date of this Agreement, have the right to
terminate this Agreement at his sole discretion.  Upon any termination
pursuant to this Section 4.4, the Executive shall be entitled to be paid his
Base Salary and the benefit referred to hereinbefore for a period of 12
months from the date of termination and the Company shall have no further
liability hereunder thereafter (other than for reimbursement for reasonable
business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination and as to the
vesting of Options pursuant to Section 2.3(d)), unless the Executive and the
Company agree to a different arrangement.

    

    4.5           Termination
Without Cause.  At any time the Company shall have the right to
terminate Executive's employment hereunder by written notice to Executive;
provided, however, that the Company shall:

    

    (a) pay
to Executive any all unpaid Base Salary and allow the Executive to enjoy all the
benefits given hereunder for the period remaining period of this Employment

Confidential Information or data now or hereafter acquired by the Executive with

Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets
which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or
otherwise.

    

    11.           Severability.  The
invalidity of any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses or
sections contained in this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of the
remaining portions of this Agreement or any part thereof, all of which are
inserted conditionally on their being valid in law, and, in the event that any
one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses or sections contained in
this Agreement shall be declared invalid, this Agreement shall be construed as
if such invalid word or words, phrase or phrases, sentence or sentences, clause
or clauses, or section or sections had not been inserted.  If such
invalidity is caused by length of time or size of area, or both, the otherwise
invalid provision will be considered to be reduced to a period or area which
would cure such invalidity.

    

    12.           Waivers.  The
waiver by either party hereto of a breach or violation of any term or provision
of this Agreement shall not operate nor be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach or violation.

    

    13.           Damages.  Nothing
contained herein shall be construed to prevent the Company or the Executive from
seeking and recovering from the other damages sustained by either or both of
them as a result of its or his breach of any term or provision of this
Agreement.

    

    14.           No
Third Party Beneficiary.  Nothing expressed or implied in this
Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any person
(other than the parties hereto and, in the case of Executive, his heirs,
personal representative(s) and/or legal representative) any rights or remedies
under or by reason of this Agreement.

    

    15.           Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

    

    16.           Executive’s
Recognition of Agreement.  Executive
acknowledges that Executive has read and understood this Agreement, and agrees
that its terms are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the
Company’s business.  Executive acknowledges that Executive has been
advised by the Company that Executive is entitled to have this Agreement
reviewed by an attorney of Executive’s selection, at Executive’s expense, prior
to signing, and that Executive has either done so or elected to forgo
that right.
