                            CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT

                                       TO

                AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

                                       OF

                          VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION

     The undersigned, the Secretary of Velocity Express Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Corporation"), does hereby certify as follows:

     1. The name of the Corporation is Velocity Express Corporation.

     2. Section A of Article IV of the Corporation's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     A. Authorized Capital Stock.

          This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be
     designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total
     number of shares that this Corporation is authorized to issue is Two
     Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares. Of such shares, One Hundred Fifty
     Million (150,000,000) shall be Common Stock, par value $.004 per share and
     Fifty Million (50,000,000) shall be Preferred Stock, par value $.004 per
     share. The voting powers, designations, preferences and relative,
     participating, optional or other special rights (and the qualifications,
     limitations or restrictions thereof) of the Common Stock and the Preferred
     Stock are as set forth in this Article IV.

          Effective at 12:01 a.m. on April 25, 2002 (the "Effective Time"), all
     issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock ("Existing Common Stock")
     shall be and hereby are automatically combined and reclassified as follows:
     each five shares of Existing Common Stock shall be combined and
     reclassified (the "Reverse Stock Split") as one share of issued and
     outstanding Common Stock ("New Common Stock"), provided that there shall be
     no fractional shares of New Common Stock. In the case of any holder as of
     the Effective Time of fewer than five shares of Existing Common Stock or
     any number of shares of Existing Common Stock which, when divided by five,
     does not result in a whole number (a "Fractional Share Holder"), the
     fractional share interest in New Common Stock held by such Fractional Share
     Holder as a result of the Reverse Split shall be rounded up to one share,
     and such Fractional Share Holder shall own a whole number of shares of New
     Common Stock equal to the number of its shares of Existing Stock divided by
     five, rounded up to the next highest whole number of shares.

          The Corporation shall, through its transfer agent, provide
     certificates representing the New Common Stock to holders of Existing
     Common Stock in exchange for certificates representing Existing Common
     Stock. From and after the Effective Time, certificates representing shares
     of Existing Common Stock are hereby cancelled and shall represent only the
     right of the holders thereof to receive New Common Stock.

          From and after the Effective Time, the term "New Common Stock" as used
     in this Article IV.A shall mean Common Stock.

          3. The foregoing amendment was duly approved and adopted in accordance
     with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the
     State of Delaware and the By-Laws of the Corporation at a meeting of the
     Board of Directors of the Corporation held on December 27, 2001 at which a
     quorum was present and acting throughout. The Board of Directors declared
     the advisability of the amendment and directed that the amendment be
     submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for approval.

          4. At a Special Meeting of the Stockholders of the Corporation held on
     March 20, 2002, duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of
     Section 222 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, a
     majority of the shares of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon
     and a two-thirds majority of the shares of the outstanding stock of each
     class of stock entitled to vote thereon as a class were voted in favor of
     the amendment in accordance with the Corporation's Certificate of
     Incorporation and Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State
     of Delaware.

          5. This amendment shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on April 25,

                                           SecretaryEXHIBIT 10.89
                                                                   -------------

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

     THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), is made and entered into as of the
1st day of October 2001 ("Effective Date") by and between VITAFORT INTERNATIONAL
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("the Company") and VALERIE A. BROADBENT, an
individual ("Consultant").

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, Company desires to engage Consultant to perform certain consulting
services for it, and Consultant desires, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, to perform consulting services for the Company.

     THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. ENGAGEMENT BY CONSULTANT.
   ------------------------

     Company hereby engages Consultant and Consultant hereby agrees to hold
himself available to render, and to render at the request of the Company,
independent advisory and consulting services for the Company to the best of his
ability, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Such consulting
services shall include, but not be limited to, consulting advice and serving as
President, Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and
the performance of duties in connection with these offices..

2. TERM.
   ----

     The term of this Agreement shall be October 1, 2001 through September 30,
2003 unless terminated or extended in accordance with provisions of this
Agreement.

3. COMPENSATION.
   ------------

     In consideration of the services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement,
Consultant shall be entitled to receive compensation in the amount of Four
Thousand Dollars ($4,000.00) per month or, at the election of Consultant,
compensation may be taken in the form of stock.

4. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
   ----------------------

     It is expressly agreed that Consultant is acting as an independent
contractor in performing his services hereunder, and this Agreement is not
intended to, nor does it create, an employer-employee relationship nor shall it
be construed as creating any joint venture or partnership between the Company
and Consultant. Consultant shall be responsible for all applicable federal,
state and other taxes related to Consultant's consulting fee and Company shall
not withhold or pay any such taxes on behalf of Consultant, including without
limitation social security, federal, state and other local income taxes. Since
Consultant is acting solely as an independent contractor under this Agreement,
Consultant shall not be entitled to insurance or other benefits normally
provided by Company to its employees.

5. ASSIGNMENT.
   ----------

     This Agreement is a personal one being entered into in reliance upon and in
consideration of the singular personal skill and qualifications of Consultant.
Neither Consultant nor the Company shall voluntarily, or by operation of law
assign or otherwise transfer the obligations incurred on its part pursuant to
terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.
Any attempt at assignment or transfer by either party of its obligations
hereunder, without such consent, shall be null and void.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY.
   ---------------

     Consultant recognizes that during the course of Consultant's activities on
behalf of the Company, he will accumulate certain proprietary and confidential
information and trade secrets used in the Company's business and will have
divulged to him certain confidential and proprietary information and trade
secrets about the business, operations and prospects of the Company, which
constitute valuable business assets of the Company. Consultant hereby
acknowledges and agrees that such information, except for information which is
in the public domain prior to Consultant's receipt thereof, or which
subsequently becomes part of the public domain other than by Consultant's breach
of a confidentiality obligation, or which Consultant can clearly demonstrate was
in his possession prior to receipt thereof from the Company and was developed by
Consultant or received by Consultant from a third-party without breach of such
third-parties confidentiality obligations with respect thereto ("Proprietary
Information") is confidential and proprietary and constitutes trade secret
information and the Proprietary Information belongs to the Company and not to
Consultant. Consultant agrees, to the extent not prohibited by law, that he
shall not, at any time during or after the Term of this Agreement and three
years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, disclose, divulge
or make known, directly or indirectly, to any person, or otherwise use or
exploit in any manner any Proprietary Information obtained by Consultant under
this Agreement, except in connection with and to the extent required by his
performance of his duties hereunder for the Company. Upon termination of this
Agreement, Consultant shall deliver to Company all tangible displays and
repositories of Proprietary Information.

7. TERMINATION.
   -----------

     This Agreement may be terminated on the occurrence of any one of the
following events:

     7.1 The expiration of the Term hereof;

     7.2 The mutual agreement of the parties;

                                   Page 2 of 5
<PAGE>

     7.3 At the Company's option, on the last day of the month in which
Consultant dies or becomes permanently incapacitated. 'Permanent incapacity' as
used herein shall mean mental or physical incapacity, or both, reasonably
determined by the Company's Board of Directors based upon a certification of
such incapacity by, in the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors,
either Consultant's regularly attending physician or a duly licensed physician
selected by the company's Board of Directors, rendering Consultant unable to
perform substantially all of his duties hereunder and which appears reasonably
certain to continue for at least six consecutive months without substantial
improvement. Consultant shall be deemed to have 'become permanently
incapacitated' on the date the Company's Board of Directors has determined that
Consultant is permanently incapacitated and so notifies Consultant. Under no
circumstances shall Consultant's incapacity, whether permanent or not, limit
Consultant's right to receive all the compensation set forth in Section 3 above.

     7.4 By the Company "with cause," effective upon delivery of written notice
to Consultant given at any time (without any necessity for prior notice) if any
of the following shall occur:

                     (a) a material breach of this Agreement by Consultant,
           which breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days after a
           written demand for such performance is delivered to Consultant by the
           Company that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company
           believes that Consultant has breached this Agreement;

                     (b) any material acts or events which inhibit Consultant
           from fully performing his responsibilities to the Company in good
           faith, such as (i) a felony criminal conviction; (ii) any other
           criminal conviction involving Consultant's lack of honesty or
           Consultant's moral turpitude; (iii) drug or alcohol abuse; or (iv)
           acts of dishonesty, gross carelessness or gross misconduct.

8. DISCLAIMER OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTS OF COMPANY.
   ------------------------------------------------

     The obligations of the Consultant described in this Agreement consist
solely of the furnishing of information and advice to the Company. In no event
shall Consultant be required by this Agreement to act as the agent of the
Company or otherwise to represent or make decisions for the Company. All final
decisions with respect to acts of the Company or its affiliates, whether or not
made pursuant to or in reliance on information or advice furnished by Consultant
hereunder, shall be those of the Company or such affiliates and Consultant shall
under no circumstances be liable for any expenses incurred or loss suffered by
the Company as a consequence of such decisions.
