     The Base Salary shall be prorated over the time that the Executive performs
services  under this  Agreement in any calendar year during which this Agreement
shall  become  effective  after  January 1st thereof or shall  terminate  before

valued for such  purposes at fifty percent (50%) of the closing bid price of the

Such  election  may be for  all or  part of the  Executive's  compensation.  The

be engaged to provide professional services from time to time. The payment for
these services shall be mutually agreed to by the parties.

                  (g) Subsidiary and Affiliate Payments. In recognition of the
fact that during the course of the performance of his duties hereunder, the
Executive may provide substantial benefits to the Company's subsidiaries or
affiliated companies, the Executive and the Company may at any time and from
time to time agree that all or any portion of the compensation due the Executive
hereunder may be paid directly to the Executive by one or more of the Company's

                  (a) Vacation. For each calendar year during the Term, the
Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of vacation (which shall accrue
and vest, except as may be hereinafter provided to the contrary, on each January
lst thereof) without loss of compensation or other benefits to which he is
entitled under this Agreement.

                           If the Executive is unable to take all of his
vacation days during a year for which he becomes vested
therein, then the Executive, at his sole option, may elect to (i) carry over any
unused vacation to the next calendar year to be used solely in that next year or
(ii) receive an appropriate pro rata portion of his Base Salary corresponding to
the year in which the vacation days vested.

                           The Executive shall take his vacation at such times
as the Executive may select and the affairs of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates may permit.

                  (b) Employee Benefit Programs. In addition to the compensation
to which the Executive is entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3

                  (a) Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate the
Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement at any time for cause upon
written notice. Written notice for cause may only be provided upon the
occurrence of the events described below:

     (i)  the  Executive's  conviction  of a felony and all appeals with respect
          thereto have been extinguished or abandoned by the Executive;

          defrauding the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;

                  (b) Death or Disability. This Agreement and the Company's
obligations hereunder will terminate upon the death or disability of the
Executive. For purposes of this Section 5(b), "disability" shall mean that for a
period of six (6) months in any twelve-month period, the Executive is incapable
of substantially fulfilling the duties set forth in this Agreement because of
physical, mental or emotional incapacity resulting from injury, sickness or
disease as determined by an independent physician mutually acceptable to the
Company and the Executive. Upon any termination of this Agreement due to death
or disability, the Company will pay the Executive or his legal representative,
as the case may be, his Base Salary (which may include any accrued but unused
vacation time) at such time pursuant to Section 3(a) through the date of such
termination of employment (or, if terminated as a result of a disability, until
the date upon which the disability policy maintained pursuant to Section 4 (b)
(ii) begins payment of benefits) plus any other compensation that may be due and
unpaid. In the event of death or disability of the Executive, any obligations
that the Executive may owe the Company for repayment of loans or other amounts
shall be forgiven.

                  (c) Voluntary Termination. Prior to any other termination of
this Agreement, the Executive may, on thirty (30) day's prior written notice to
the Company given at any time, terminate his employment with the Company. Upon
any such termination, the Company shall pay the Executive his Base Salary at
such time pursuant to Section 3(a) through the date of such termination of
employment (which shall include any vested and accrued but unused vacation
time).

                  (d) Termination without Cause. If the Company terminates
Executive's employment for any reason other than "Cause" as defined in Section
5(a) above, Executive shall be entitled to an immediately lump sum payment equal
to the cumulative remaining Base Salary payments described in Section 3(a) due
under the remaining term of this Agreement. Executive may elect to take all or
part of such lump sum payment in common stock, which shall be valued for such
purposes as provided in Paragraph 3(a) herein. In no event will such payment be
less than 299% of the Executive's Base Salary.

         6.       Restrictive Covenants.

                  (a) Competition with the Company. The Executive covenants and
agrees that, during the Term of this Agreement, the Executive will not, without
the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly (whether as a
sole proprietor, partner, stockholder, director, officer, employee or in any
other capacity as principal or agent), compete with the Company. Notwithstanding
this restriction, Executive shall be entitled to invest in stock of other
competing public companies so long as his ownership is less than 5% of such
company's outstanding shares.

                  (b) Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Executive
acknowledges that during his employment he will gain and have access to
confidential information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates. The Executive acknowledges that such confidential information as
acquired and used by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
constitutes a special, valuable and unique asset in which the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates, as the case may be, holds a legitimate business
interest. All records, files, materials and confidential information (the
"Confidential Information") obtained by the Executive in the course of his
employment with the Company shall be deemed confidential and proprietary and
shall remain the exclusive property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, as the case may be. The Executive will not, except in connection
with and as required by his performance of his duties under this Agreement, for
any reason use for his own benefit or the benefit of any person or entity with
which he may be associated, disclose any Confidential Information to any person,
firm, corporation, association or other entity for any reason or purpose
whatsoever without the prior consent of the Board of Directors of the Company,
unless such information previously shall have become public knowledge through no
action by or omission of the Executive.

                  (c) Subversion, Disruption or Interference. At no time during
the term of this Agreement shall the Executive, directly or indirectly,
interfere, induce, influence, combine or conspire with, or attempt to induce,
influence, combine or conspire with, any of the employees of, or consultants to,
the Company to terminate their relationship with or compete with or ally against
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in the business in which
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is then engaged in.

                  (d) Enforcement of Restrictions. The parties hereby agree that
any violation by Executive of the covenants contained in this Section 6 will
likely cause irreparable damage to the Company or its subsidiaries and
affiliates and may, as a matter of course, be restrained by process issued out
of a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedies provided
by law.

         7. Change of Control.

                  (a) For the purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control"
shall be deemed to have taken place if Kevin Brennan and Donald G. Huggins, Jr.
are no longer members of the Board of Directors.

                  (b) The Company and Executive hereby agree that if Executive
is in the employ of the Company on the date on which a Change of Control occurs
(the "Change of Control Date"), the Company will continue to employ the
Executive and the Executive will remain in the employ of the Company for the
period commencing on the Change of Control Date and ending on the expiration of
the Term, to exercise such authority and perform such executive duties as are
commensurate with the authority being exercised and duties being performed by
the Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control Date. If after a Change
of Control, the Executive is requested, and, in his sole and absolute
discretion, consents to change his principal business location, the Company will
reimburse the Executive for his relocation expenses, including without
limitation, moving expenses, temporary living and travel expenses for a time
while arranging to move his residence to the changed location, closing costs, if
any, associated with the sale of his existing residence and the purchase of a
replacement residence at the changed location, plus an additional amount
representing a gross-up of any state or federal taxes payable by Executive as a
result of any such reimbursements. If the Executive shall not consent to change
his business location, the Executive may continue to provide the services
required of him hereunder in Pinellas County, Florida, and the Company shall
continue to maintain an office for the Executive at that location commensurate
with the Company's office prior to the Change of Control Date.

                  (c) During the remaining Term after the Change of Control
Date, the Company will (i) continue to honor the terms of this Agreement,
including Base Salary and other compensation set forth in Section 3 hereof, and
(ii) continue employee benefits as set forth in Section 4 hereof at levels in
effect on the Change of Control Date (but subject to such reductions as may be
required to maintain such plans in compliance with applicable federal law
regulating employee benefits).

                  (d) If during the remaining Term on or after the Change of
Control Date there shall have occurred a material reduction in Executive's
compensation or employment related benefits, a material change in Executive's
status, working conditions or management responsibilities, or a material change
in the business objectives or policies of the Company and the Executive
voluntarily terminates employment within ninety (90) days of any such
occurrence, or the last in a series of occurrences, then the Executive shall be
entitled to receive, subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (e) and (f)
below, a lump-sum cash payment equal to 299% of Executive's current Base Salary
in addition to any other compensation that may be due and owing to the Executive
under Section 3 hereof.

                  (e) The amounts payable to the Executive under any other
compensation arrangement maintained by the Company which became payable after
payment of the lump-sum provided for in paragraph (d), upon or as a result of
the exercise by Executive of rights which are contingent on a Change of Control
(and would be considered a "parachute payment" under Internal Revenue Code 280G
and regulations thereunder), shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that
such amounts, when added to such lump-sum, do not exceed 299% of the Executive's
Base Salary (as computed in accordance with provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended and any regulations promulgated thereunder) for
determining whether the Executive has received an excess parachute payment. Any
such excess amount shall be deferred and paid in the next tax year.

                  (f) In the event of a proposed Change in Control, the Company
will allow the Executive to participate in all meetings and negotiations related
thereto.

         8. Assignability. The rights and obligations of the Company under this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the Company, provided that such successor or assign shall acquire all
or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company. The Executive
may assign his rights to compensation under this Agreement to a corporation,
partnership, or trust controlled by the Executive.

         9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be
invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or
jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered
divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such
state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from
either of the parties remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and
binding.

automobile allowance plus automobile insurance to be applied to any automobile
expenses incurred by Consultant.

         5. Termination.

                  (a) Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate the
Consultant's services pursuant to this Agreement at any time for cause upon
written notice. Written notice for cause may only be provided upon the
occurrence of the events described below:

          (i)  the  Consultant's  conviction  of a felony and all  appeals  with
               respect  thereto  have  been  extinguished  or  abandoned  by the
               Consultant;

          (ii) the  Consultant's   conviction  of  misappropriating   assets  or
               otherwise  defrauding the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  or
               affiliates;

                  (b) Death or Disability. This Agreement and the Company's
obligations hereunder will terminate upon the death or disability of the
Consultant. For purposes of this Section 5(b), "disability" shall mean that for
a period of six (6) months in any twelve-month period, the Consultant is
incapable of substantially fulfilling the duties set forth in this Agreement
because of physical, mental or emotional incapacity resulting from injury,
sickness or disease as determined by an independent physician mutually
acceptable to the Company and the Consultant. Upon any termination of this
Agreement due to death or disability, the Company will pay the Consultant or his
legal representative, as the case may be, his Consulting fees at such time
pursuant to Section 3(a) through the date of such termination of this Consulting
Agreement (or, if terminated as a result of a disability, until the date upon
which the disability policy maintained pursuant to Section 4 (b) (ii) begins
payment of benefits) plus any other compensation that may be due and unpaid. In
the event of death or disability of the Consultant, any obligations that the
Consultant may owe the Company for repayment of loans or other amounts shall be
forgiven.

                  (c) Voluntary Termination. Prior to any other termination of
this Agreement, the Consultant may, on thirty (30) day's prior written notice to
the Company given at any time, terminate his Consulting Agreement with the
Company. Upon any such termination, the Company shall pay the Consultant his
Consulting fees at such time pursuant to Section 3(a) through the date of such
termination of this Consulting Agreement.

                  (d) Termination without Cause. If the Company terminates
Consultant's services for any reason other than "Cause" as defined in Section
5(a) above, Consultant shall be entitled to an immediately lump sum payment
equal to the cumulative remaining consulting fee payments described in Section
3(a) due under the remaining term of this Agreement. Consultant may elect to
take all or part of such lump sum payment in common stock, which shall be valued
for such purposes as provided in Paragraph 3(a) herein. In no event will such
payment be less than 299% of the Consultant's Consulting fees.

         6.       Restrictive Covenants.

                  (a) Competition with the Company. The Consultant covenants and
agrees that, during the Term of this Agreement, the Consultant will not, without
the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly (whether as a
sole proprietor, partner, stockholder, director, officer, employee or in any
other capacity as principal or agent), compete with the Company. Notwithstanding
this restriction, Consultant shall be entitled to invest in stock of other
competing public companies so long as his ownership is less than 5% of such
company's outstanding shares.

                  (b) Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Consultant
acknowledges that during the term of this Agreement he will gain and have access
to confidential information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates. The Consultant acknowledges that such confidential information as
acquired and used by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
constitutes a special, valuable and unique asset in which the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates, as the case may be, holds a legitimate business
interest. All records, files, materials and confidential information (the
"Confidential Information") obtained by the Consultant in the course of the term
of this Agreement with the Company shall be deemed confidential and proprietary
and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, as the case may be. The Consultant will not, except
in connection with and as required by his performance of his duties under this
Agreement, for any reason use for his own benefit or the benefit of any person
or entity with which he may be associated, disclose any Confidential Information
to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any reason or
purpose whatsoever without the prior consent of the Board of Directors of the
Company, unless such information previously shall have become public knowledge
through no action by or omission of the Consultant.

                  (c) Subversion, Disruption or Interference. At no time during
the term of this Agreement shall the Consultant, directly or indirectly,
interfere, induce, influence, combine or conspire with, or attempt to induce,
influence, combine or conspire with, any of the employees of, or consultants to,
the Company to terminate their relationship with or compete with or ally against
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in the business in which
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is then engaged in.

                  (d) Enforcement of Restrictions. The parties hereby agree that
any violation by Consultant of the covenants contained in this Section 6 will
likely cause irreparable damage to the Company or its subsidiaries and
affiliates and may, as a matter of course, be restrained by process issued out
of a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedies provided
by law.

         7. Change of Control.

                  (a) For the purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control"
shall be deemed to have taken place if Kevin Brennan and Donald G. Huggins, Jr.
are no longer members of the Board of Directors.

                  (b) The Company and Consultant hereby agree that if Consultant
is within the term of this Agreement on the date on which a Change of Control
occurs (the "Change of Control Date"), the Company will continue to honor this
Agreement for the period commencing on the Change of Control Date and ending on
the expiration of the Term, to exercise such authority and perform such
consultant duties as are commensurate with the authority being exercised and
duties being performed by the Consultant immediately prior to the Change of
Control Date. If after a Change of Control, the Consultant is requested, and, in
his sole and absolute discretion, consents to change his principal business
location, the Company will reimburse the Consultant for his relocation expenses,
including without limitation, moving expenses, temporary living and travel
expenses for a time while arranging to move his residence to the changed
location, closing costs, if any, associated with the sale of his existing
residence and the purchase of a replacement residence at the changed location,
plus an additional amount representing a gross-up of any state or federal taxes
payable by Consultant as a result of any such reimbursements. If the Consultant
shall not consent to change his business location, the Consultant may continue
to provide the services required of him hereunder in Pinellas County, Florida,
and the Company shall continue to maintain an office for the Consultant at that
location commensurate with the Company's office prior to the Change of Control
Date.

<PAGE>

                  (c) During the remaining Term after the Change of Control
Date, the Company will (i) continue to honor the terms of this Agreement,
including Consulting fees and other compensation set forth in Section 3 hereof,
and (ii) continue benefits as set forth in Section 4 hereof at levels in effect
on the Change of Control Date (but subject to such reductions as may be required
to maintain such plans in compliance with applicable federal law regulating
benefits).

                  (d) If during the remaining Term on or after the Change of
Control Date there shall have occurred a material reduction in Consultant's
compensation or related benefits, a material change in Consultant's status,
working conditions or management responsibilities, or a material change in the
business objectives or policies of the Company and the Consultant voluntarily
terminates this Agreement within ninety (90) days of any such occurrence, or the
last in a series of occurrences, then the Consultant shall be entitled to
receive, subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (e) and (f) below, a
lump-sum cash payment equal to 299% of Consultant's current Consulting fees in
addition to any other compensation that may be due and owing to the Consultant
under Section 3 hereof.

                  (e) The amounts payable to the Consultant under any other
compensation arrangement maintained by the Company which became payable after
payment of the lump-sum provided for in paragraph (d), upon or as a result of
the exercise by Consultant of rights which are contingent on a Change of Control
(and would be considered a "parachute payment" under Internal Revenue Code 280G
and regulations thereunder), shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that
such amounts, when added to such lump-sum, do not exceed 299% of the
Consultant's Consulting fees (as computed in accordance with provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and any regulations promulgated
thereunder) for determining whether the Consultant has received an excess
parachute payment. Any such excess amount shall be deferred and paid in the next
tax year.

                  (f) In the event of a proposed Change in Control, the Company
will allow the Consultant to participate in all meetings and negotiations
related thereto.

         8. Assignability. The rights and obligations of the Company under this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the Company, provided that such successor or assign shall acquire all
or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company. The Consultant
may assign his rights to compensation under this Agreement to a corporation,
partnership, or trust controlled by the Consultant.

         9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be
invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or
jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered
divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such
state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from
either of the parties remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and
binding.

         10. Notice. Notices given pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, or
telecopier to the following addresses:
