      representations, warranties and covenants made by any party under this
      Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
      parties and shall survive the Effective Date
  indefinitely.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              7.6

            	
              Specific
      Performance.  The parties recognize that if any party
      refuses to perform under the provisions of this Agreement, monetary
      damages alone will not be adequate to compensate any other party for his
      or its injury.  Each party shall therefore be entitled, in
      addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain specific
      performance of the terms of this Agreement.  If any action is
      brought by any party to enforce this Agreement, the other parties shall
      waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.  In
      the event of a default by any party that results in the filing of a
      lawsuit for damages, specific performance, or other remedies, the
      non-defaulting parties shall be entitled to reimbursement by the
      defaulting party of reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the
      non-defaulting parties.

      party hereto represents and warrants that he or it has received the advice
      and counsel of an attorney in connection with the negotiation, preparation

      Block & Garden, LLP has acted as counsel for the Company and Surge and

      hereby, to a maximum reimbursement of $2,000.00, payable within 20 days of
      Executive submitting his counsel’s invoice for such services to the

    CONSULTING
AGREEMENT

    

    CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), made and
entered into as of the 20th day of
April, 2010, by and between SSGI, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Ryan
Seddon, an individual resident of the State of Florida (“Consultant”).

    

    WITNESSETH:

    

    WHEREAS, the Company desires
to retain Consultant to render consulting and advisory services for the Company
on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Consultant desires
to be retained by the Company on such terms and conditions.

     

    

    NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises, the respective covenants and commitments of the
Company and Consultant set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Company and Consultant agree as follows:

    

    1.           Retention of Consultant;
Services to be Performed. The Company hereby retains Consultant to render
such business, management, advisory and transition services as the Company may
request from time to time in order to assist the Company in transitioning to a
new executive management team, up to a maximum of 20 hours per week for the
initial 3-month period of this Agreement; thereafter Consultant shall assist the
Company up to a maximum of 10 hours per week for the remainder of the term of
the Agreement, to be performed at Contractor’s reasonable discretion within each
weekly period.  Consultant hereby accepts such engagement and agrees
to perform such services for the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement.  During the term of this Agreement, Consultant
shall devote such of his business time, attention, skill and energy to the
business of the Company as is necessary to adequately perform his services
hereunder, subject to the maximum time commitment set forth
above.  During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall report to
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

    

    2.           Term. Unless
terminated at an earlier date in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement,
the term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of this Agreement and
shall continue for a continuous period of twelve (12) months
thereafter.  After the initial 12-month term of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall continue on a month-to-month basis until either party notifies
the other party of such party’s desire not to so continue the term of this
Agreement, in writing and with thirty (30) days written notice
thereof.

    
      
         

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    3.    
       Compensation.  As
compensation in full for Consultant’s services hereunder, the Company shall pay
to Consultant a monthly cash consulting fee in the amount of $9,333.33 (plus an
amount equal to 50% of the monthly premium for Consultant’s COBRA health
insurance continuation coverage following the cessation of his employment with
Surge Solutions Group, Inc.), prorated to account for any partial
month.  Any proration shall be based on the average hourly rate of
$96.15 per hour at an accrual rate of 20 hours per week.  Should
Consultant be required to exceed 20 hours in any week (for the initial 3 months
of this Agreement), or exceed 10 hours in any week thereafter for the remaining
term of the Agreement, under the terms of this Agreement, Consultant shall be
compensated at the average hourly rate of $96.15 for any time exceeding the
foregoing hours, provided that Consultant provide Company an invoice on the last
business day of the month containing a breakdown and narrative of Consultant’s
reasonable efforts on behalf of Company that exceeded the maximum weekly
commitment.  Consultant shall not exceed such 20 or 10 hours (as
applicable) per week without the prior written consent of the Company. The
consulting fee shall be payable to Consultant in arrears on the last day of each
month during the term of this Agreement.

    

    4.     
      Expenses. Consultant
shall be reimbursed by the Company for any pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses,
including business related travel expenses (but not commuting expenses)
reimbursed at the then-current standard mileage rate prescribed from time to
time by the Internal Revenue Service and Consultant’s cell phone expense, that
are reasonably incurred by Consultant in performing his duties under this
Agreement, subject to the presentment by Consultant to the Company of
appropriate receipts and expense reports.  At the end of the term of
this Agreement, Consultant shall be permitted to retain his cell phone and cell
phone number.

    

    5.       
    Confidential Information;
Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation; Nondisparagement.

    

    5.1           Confidential
Information.  Consultant acknowledges that he is or will become
privy to certain Confidential Information (hereinafter
defined).  Accordingly, Consultant agrees that he shall not, both
during and after the term of this Agreement, without the prior written consent
of the Company, except as required to perform his consulting duties with the
Company, use, disseminate, disclose, or communicate any Confidential Information
to any person or entity inside or outside the United States. Consultant
acknowledges that the Confidential Information constitutes a unique and valuable
asset of the Company and represents a substantial investment of time and expense
by the Company and that any disclosure or other use of any Confidential
Information other than for the sole benefit of the Company would be wrongful and
may cause irreparable harm to the Company.  Both during and after the
term of this Agreement, for the duration permitted under Florida law, Consultant
will refrain from any acts or omissions that would reduce the value of any
Confidential Information to the Company.  The foregoing obligations of
confidentiality shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is now
published or which subsequently becomes generally publicly known other than as a
direct or indirect result of the breach of this Agreement by
Consultant.   As used herein, the term “Confidential
Information” means all information relating or belonging to the Company
or any of its affiliates that is disclosed or made known to Consultant as a
direct or indirect consequence of or through his previous employment with the
Company or with any of its affiliates, or of or through his engagement by the
Company hereunder, that is not generally known in the industries in which the
Company or any of its affiliates is or may become engaged, including, but not
limited to, information about (i) the customers and vendors of the Company and
its affiliates (including, without limitation, their identities); (ii)
profitability and other financial information; (iii) past, present, and future
plans with respect to the business of the Company or any of its affiliates; (iv)
strategies, processes and techniques; (v) any Company system, procedure, or
administrative operation; and (vi) present or future plans for the extension of
the present business or commencement of a new business of the Company or any
affiliate of the Company.

    
      
         

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    5.2           Third Party
Information. Consultant recognizes that the Company and its affiliates
have received and in the future will receive from third parties their
confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on their parts to
maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain
limited purposes. Consultant agrees that he owes the Company, its affiliates,
and such third parties, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, for
the duration permitted under Florida law, a duty to hold all such confidential
or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to
any person or entity (except as necessary in carrying out his duties for the
Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party) or to use
it for the benefit of anyone other than for the Company or such third party
(consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party) without the
express written authorization of the Company or its affiliates, as the case may
be.

    

    5.3           Returning Company
Documents.  When Consultant ceases to be engaged by the Company
hereunder, Consultant shall promptly deliver all documents, memorandum, records,
notes, and other materials in his possession, whether prepared by him or others,
and all copies thereof, that contain Confidential Information, and Consultant
shall have no rights therein.

    

    5.4           Noncompetition
Covenant.  Consultant covenants and agrees that, for the
duration of the term of this Agreement (the “Covenant Period”), he
shall not (and shall not permit any of his affiliates to), directly or
indirectly engage in competition with the Company or any of its affiliates in
any manner or capacity (including, without limitation, as an advisor,
consultant, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee,
member of any association or otherwise).  The obligations of
Consultant under this Section 5.4 shall apply in any State of the United States
where the Company or any of its affiliates is engaged in business, and is
limited to the scope of business services provided by Consultant during the term
of this Agreement or during Consultant’s employment with Surge Solutions Group,
Inc.

    

    5.5           Nonsolicitation
Covenant. Consultant covenants and agrees that, for the duration of the
Covenant Period, he shall not employ, either directly or through an affiliate or
other person or entity, any current employee of the Company or its affiliates or
any individual who was an employee of the Company or its affiliates at any time
during the term of this Agreement, and shall not solicit, or contact in any
manner that could reasonably be construed as a solicitation, either directly or
through an affiliate or other person or entity, any employee of the Company or
its affiliates for the purpose of encouraging such employee to leave or
terminate his or her employment with the Company or its
affiliates.  In addition, for the duration of the Covenant Period,
Consultant shall not interfere with the Company’s relationship with any person
or entity who at the relevant time is an employee, customer, vendor, or
shareholder of the Company or its affiliates.

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    5.6           Scope. Consultant
acknowledges and agrees that the length and scope of the restrictions contained
in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate
business interests of the Company.  Consultant further acknowledges
and agrees that the restrictions contained in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 are valid and
enforceable under Florida law and that he will immediately notify the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer in writing should he believe or be advised that the
restrictions are not, or likely are not, valid or enforceable under Florida law
or the law of any other state that he contends or is advised is applicable. The
Company may, at any time by written notice, reduce the length or scope of any
restrictions contained in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 and, thereafter, Consultant shall
comply with the restriction as so reduced, subject to subsequent
reductions.  If any covenant in Section 5.4 or 5.5 is held to be
unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant will be
considered to be divisible with respect to scope and time, and such lesser scope
or time, or both of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to
be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, will be effective,
binding, and enforceable against Consultant.

    

    5.7           Nondisparagement.  Each
party agrees that he or it shall not, both during and after the term of this
Agreement, directly or indirectly disparage or criticize the other party or any
of such other party’s officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, or
issue any communication, written or otherwise, that reflects adversely on or
encourages any adverse action against such other party or any of such other
party’s officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates; provided that
nothing contained herein shall prevent either party from testifying truthfully
under oath pursuant to any lawful court order or subpoena or otherwise
responding to or providing disclosures required by law.

    

    6.           Termination.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained elsewhere in this Agreement,
this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Company and Consultant
hereunder (other than the rights and obligations of the parties under Section 5,
which shall remain in effect in accordance with the terms thereof) shall be
terminated upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              Immediately
      in the event of Consultant’s death;
or

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              Immediately
      in the event that Consultant becomes disabled so that he is unable to
      render his normal services under this Agreement for a continuous period of
      thirty (30) days.

            

    

    

    In the event this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to this Section 6 prior to the expiration of the term
hereof, Consultant shall be entitled to receive his consulting fees earned
through the date of termination, but all other rights to receive consulting fees
or other remuneration hereunder shall terminate on such date.

    

    7.           Miscellaneous.

    

    (a)         Assignment.  This
Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall not be
assignable, in whole or in part, by either party without the prior written
consent of the other party.

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b)           Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction and
Venue. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SAID STATE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE
PERFORMED WITHIN SAID STATE. Each of the Company and Consultant (i) hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Florida and the courts of the State of
Florida located in Palm Beach County, Florida, for the purposes of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (ii)
hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that he or it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any
such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is
improper.

    

    (c)           Entire Agreement.
This Agreement evidences the entire understanding and agreement of the parties
hereto relative to the consulting arrangement between Consultant and the Company
and the other matters discussed herein. This Agreement supersedes any and all
other agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relative to the
matters discussed herein.  This Agreement may only be amended by a
written document signed by both Consultant and the Company.

    

    (d)           Injunctive Relief.
Consultant acknowledges that it would be difficult to fully compensate the
Company for damages resulting from any breach by Consultant of the provisions of
Section 5 of this Agreement.  Accordingly, in the event of any actual
or threatened breach of such provisions, the Company shall (in addition to any
other remedies that it may have) be entitled to temporary and/or permanent
injunctive relief to enforce such provisions, and such relief may be granted
without the necessity of proving actual damages.

    

    (e)           Severability. To the
extent any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be deleted from this Agreement, and the
validity and enforceability of the remainder of such provision and of this
Agreement shall be unaffected.  In furtherance of and not in
limitation of the foregoing, Consultant expressly agrees that should the
duration of or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any
provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid or enforceable
under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that
duration, extent or activities that may validly or enforceably be covered.
Consultant acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly
stipulates that this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that renders its
provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its
express terms) possible under applicable law.

    

    (f)       
    Status of Consultant.
In rendering services pursuant to this Agreement, Consultant shall be acting as
an independent contractor and not as an employee or agent of the
Company.  As an independent contractor, Consultant shall have no
authority, express or implied, to commit or obligate the Company in any manner
whatsoever, except as specifically authorized from time to time in writing by an
authorized representative of the Company, which authorization may be general or
specific. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to
create a partnership. Consultant shall be responsible for the payment of all
federal, state or local taxes payable with respect to all amounts paid to
Consultant under this Agreement.

    

    (g)           Definition of
“affiliate”.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“affiliate” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  In addition, in the
event that the Company consummates the acquisition of B & M Construction
