     1.   Employment Period. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive,
          and the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Company
          subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the period
          commencing on October 1, 2005 (the "Commencement Date") and ending
          when terminated as provided herein (the "Employment Period").

     2.   Terms of Employment.

          a)   Position and Duties.

               (i)  During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as
                    Company's Vice President of Operations, EMEA, and shall
                    reside in Belgium on an expatriate assignment. Executive
                    shall report to the Chief Operating Officer (the "COO").

               (ii) During the Employment Period, Executive agrees to devote his
                    full attention and time to the business and affairs of the
                    Company and to use the Executive's best efforts to: (A)
                    perform such responsibilities in a professional manner, (B)
                    promote the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries,
                    (C) discharge the executive and administrative duties, not
                    inconsistent with his position, as may be reasonably
                    assigned to him by the President and/or COO.

               (iii) At all times, Executive agrees that he has read and will
                    abide by, any employee handbook, policy, or practice that
                    the Company has or adopts with respect to its employees
                    generally, except as modified by this Agreement.

          b)   Compensation.

                    Company's Annual Incentive Plan. The Executive shall be
                    entitled to any bonuses pursuant to such plans. In the event
                    that the Employment Period ends prior to the payment of the
                    bonuses under this plan and the Executive is not terminated
                    for cause, any requirement that the Executive be employed by
                    the Company at the time the bonus is paid shall be
                    satisfied.

               (iii) Savings and Retirement Plans. During the Employment Period,
                    the Executive shall be eligible to participate in all
                    savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and
                    programs to the extent applicable generally to other
                    executives of the Company in accordance with the provisions
                    of those plans.

               (iv) Welfare and Other Benefits Plans. During the Employment
                    Period, the Executive and the Executive's eligible family
                    members shall be entitled to participate in all benefit and
                    executive perquisites under welfare, fringe and other
                    similar benefit plans, practices, policies and programs
                    which may be provided by the Company (including, without
                    limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability,
                    employee life, group life, accidental death and travel
                    accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent
                    applicable generally to other executives of the Company.

               (v)  Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall
                    be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all
                    reasonable business expenses incurred and submitted by the
                    Executive in accordance with the policies of the Company.

               (vi) Expatriate Compensation and Benefits. During the Employment
                    Period, the Executive shall receive additional taxable
                    compensation in the amount of $5,000 per month to pay for
                    expenses that may occur as a result of the Assignment. The
                    Company will provide Executive with tax preparation
                    services, and pay Executive's foreign taxes and tax
                    liabilities over what the Executive would normally have paid
                    had he not been on the Assignment and for 2 tax years after
                    the completion of the Assignment. The Company shall
                    reimburse Executive for a maximum of two roundtrip coach

                    The Company will pay for reasonable shipments of Executive's
                    personal effects between the U.S. and Europe at the start

                    phone and utilities; total housing expenses shall not exceed
                    4,000 euros per month. The Company will continue to

                    provide Executive with a vehicle consistent with the Belgium
                    car policy and his spouse will be provided a Ford Focus.

     3.   Termination of Employment.

          The Executive's employment may be terminated upon the occurrence of
          any event set forth below.

          a)   Death or Disability. The Executive's employment shall terminate
               automatically upon the Executive's death during the Employment
               Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the
               Disability (as defined below) of the Executive has occurred
               during the Employment Period, it may give to the Executive
               written notice of its intention to terminate the Executive's
               employment. In such event, the Executive's employment with the
               Company shall terminate effective on the thirtieth day after
               receipt of such notice by the Executive. For purposes of this
               Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the Executive's inability to
               perform his normal duties for the Company for three months or
               more during any twelve-month period.

          b)   Cause. Until December 31, 2006, the Company may terminate the
               Executive's employment only for "Cause." For purposes of this
               Agreement, "Cause" shall mean:

               (i)  any material breach of this Agreement by the Executive,
                    which breach is not remedied within thirty (30) days after
                    written notice thereof, specifying the nature of such breach
                    in reasonable detail, is given by the COO to the Executive,

               (ii) Executive's conviction of a felony or other crime involving
                    moral turpitude, any act or omission by the Executive during
                    the Employment Period involving willful malfeasance or gross
                    negligence in the performance of his duties hereunder,
                    and/or

               (iii) Executive's failure to follow the reasonable instructions
                    given in good faith by the President and/or COO, which
                    failure is not remedied within thirty (30) days after
                    written notice thereof specifying the details of such
                    conduct is given by the Company to the Executive.

               (vi) Purchase of a majority of Company's stock or acquisition of
                    the Company through merger or otherwise.

          c)   By Executive. After November 1, 2006, this Agreement may be

                                       3

<PAGE>

               terminated by the Executive, upon sixty (60) days prior notice to
               the Company. In such event, the effective date of termination
               shall be the date set forth in such notice.

          d)   Without Cause. After December 31, 2006, this Agreement may be
               terminated by the Company, without Cause, upon sixty (60) days
               prior notice to the Executive. In such event, the effective date
               of termination shall be the date set forth in such notice. If the
               Executive is terminated by the Company without cause prior to
               December 31, 2006, the Executive will be entitled to his pay and
               benefits as set forth herein through December 31, 2006.

          e)   Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company or by the
               Executive shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the
               other party. A "Notice of Termination" means a written notice
               which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this
               Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth
               in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
               provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment
               under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of
               Termination is other than the date of receipt of such notice,
               specifies the termination date.

          f)   Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" or "Termination Date"
               means the effective date of termination determined in accordance
               with the provisions of this Paragraph 3.

     4.   Confidential Information; Noncompetition.

          a)   The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit
               of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge
               or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated
               companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been
               obtained by the Executive during the Executive's employment by
               the company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall
               not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the
               Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of
               this Agreement). After termination of the Executive's employment
               with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior
               written consent of the Company or as many otherwise be required
               by law or legal process (provided the Company has been given
               notice of and opportunity to challenge or limit the scope of
               disclosure purportedly so required), communicate or divulge any
               such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the
               Company and those designated by it.

          b)   Executive agrees not to utilize his knowledge of the business of
               the

                                       4

<PAGE>

               Company or his relationships with investors, suppliers,
               customers, clients, or financial institutions to compete with the
               Company in any business the same as, or similar to, the business
               conducted by the Company during the term of this Agreement.
               Executive agrees that he will not:

                    1.   Executive agrees not to work for, consult with, provide
                         any services to or provide any information to any firm
                         or entity or person which competes with, or is engages
                         in, or carries on any aspect of the Company's business
                         services in competition with the Company within a two
                         (2) year period following his termination from the
                         Company; and

                    2.   Executive shall not directly or indirectly, assist,
                         promote or encourage any employees or clients of the
                         Company to terminate or discontinue their relationship
                         with the Company for at least a two (2 ) year period
                         beginning on the Date of Termination.

          c)   Executive acknowledges that his services hereunder are of a
               special, unique, and intellectual character and his position with
               the Company places him in a position of confidence and trust with
               customers, suppliers, and employees of the Company. The Executive
               further acknowledges that to perform his position, he will
               necessarily be given access to confidential information of the
               Company. Executive will continue to develop personal
               relationships with the Company's customers, financiers,
               suppliers, and employees. The parties expressly agree that these
               provisions are reasonable, enforceable, and necessary to protect
               the Company's interests. In the unlikely event, however, that a
               court of competent jurisdiction was to determine that any portion
               of such provisions is unenforceable, then the parties agree that
               the remainder of the provisions shall remain valid and
               enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

          d)   The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure
               damages to the Company from any breach of the covenants contained
               in this Paragraph 5, but that such damages from any such breach
               would be great, incalculable and irremediable, and that money
               damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the Executive
               agrees that the Company may have specific performance of these
               provisions in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties
               agree, however, that the specific performance remedies described
               above shall not be the exclusive remedies, and the Company may
               enforce any other remedy or remedies available to it either in
               law or in equity including, but not limited to, temporary,
               preliminary, and/or permanent injunctive relief.

                                       5

     5.   Successors.

          a)   This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be
               assignable by the Executive.

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

     6.   Change of Control. Company and Executive have entered into an
          Employment Agreement Relating to Change of Control ("Change of Control
          Agreement"), wherein Executive will qualify for one year of continued
          compensation and benefits upon the occurrence of a Change in Control
          of the Company as defined therein. The parties agree that the Change
          of Control Agreement shall remain in effect. However, Executive's
          continued compensation under the Change of Control Agreement will not
          be effective unless there is less than one year remaining on this
          Agreement's term, and then in no event will Executive receive more
          than one year's annual salary.

     7.   Miscellaneous.

          a)   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
               with the laws of Michigan, without reference to principles of
               conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of
               the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. This
               Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written
               agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective
               successors and legal representatives.

          b)   All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
               writing and shall be deemed to be received when (i) hand
               delivered (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when
               received by the addressee, if sent by nationally recognized
               overnight delivery service (receipt requested) in each case to
               such address as a party may designate by notice to the other
               party.

          c)   The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
               Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any
               other provision of this Agreement.

          d)   This Employment Agreement may be executed through the use of
               separate signature pages or in any number of counterpart copies
               and each of such counterparts shall, for all purposes, constitute
               one agreement binding on all the parties.

          e)   The provisions of this Agreement contain all of the terms and
               conditions

                                       6

               correspondence, undertakings and communications of the parties,
               either oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has executed this Agreement and, subject
to the authorization of its Board of Directors, the Company has caused this
Agreement to be executed in its name on its behalf, as of the Commencement Date.
