This  Agreement  ("Agreement")  dated  January 15, 2004 is by and between Xtreme
Companies, Inc., a Nevada corporation located at 11782 Western Ave., Stanton, CA
and  Douglas  H.  Leighton,  a  resident  of  the  State  of  Massachusetts
("Consultant").

WHEREAS,  the  Company  is engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of mission
specific  high performance boats to fire, rescue, law enforcement, military, and
government  agencies.  (the  "Business")

WHEREAS,  Consultant  has  unique  experience,  knowledge and skills in order to
enhance  the  operation  of  the  Business;

WHEREAS,  the  Company desires to obtain the benefits of Consultant's experience
and  know-how in connection with the operation of the Business, and accordingly,
the  Company  has offered to engage Consultant to render consulting and advisory
services  to  the  Company  on  the  terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

WHEREAS,  Consultant  desires  to  accept  such  engagement  upon such terms and
conditions  hereinafter  set  forth.

NOWTHEREFORE  in  consideration  of the foregoing, the parties agree as follows:

Section  1.               SERVICES  RENDERED
                          ------------------

Consultant  shall  (i)  advise  the Company with respect to operations, business
strategy,  capital  structure  and  other  matters pertaining to the Business as
shall  be  specified  from  time  to time by the Company's President and/or such
other  officer(s)  as  the  Company's Board of Directors shall designate to have
principal  responsibility  for  the operation of the Business and (ii) assist in
reviewing  material  transactions.
Section  2.               COMPENSATION
                          ------------

For  services  rendered under Section 1, Consultant shall be paid the following,
by  the  Company:

(a)  CONSULTING FEES. In consideration for the availability of Consultant during
the  term  hereunder  and  the  services  rendered  pursuant  to this Agreement,
promptly  upon execution of this Agreement, the Company will issue to Consultant
as  payment  one-hundred  and  fifty-thousand  (150,000)  fully  paid  and
non-assessable  shares  of  Common  Stock  of  the  Company  (the  "Shares").
(b)  REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse Consultant for those
reasonable  and necessary out-of-pocket expenses which have been approved by the
President  of the Company prior to their incurrence and which have been incurred
by  Consultant  in  connection  with  the  rendering  of services hereunder. Any
reimbursement  to  be made by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be made
following submission to the Company by Consultant of reasonable documentation of

                          -------------------------

     This  Agreement  shall not constitute an employer-employee relationship. It
is  the  intention  of  each  party  that  Consultant  shall  be  an independent
contractor  and  not  an  employee  of  the  Company.  All  compensation paid to
Consultant  shall  constitute earnings to Consultant and be classified as normal

     This Agreement may be terminated by either party with or without cause with
thirty  days prior written notice given by the terminating party. Termination of
the  Agreement  does  not  relieve  the  Company of its obligation to remunerate
Consultant  pursuant to this Agreement, and the Shares issued to Consultant upon
execution  of  this  Agreement  shall  be  non-refundable. Upon termination, any
outstanding  remuneration  due  Consultant  for  services rendered shall be paid
within  3  (three)  business  days  following  termination.

Section  6.               INDEMNIFICATION
                          ---------------

representation  or  warranty  made  by  Consultant in the Agreement or any other

(c)     Indemnification  Procedure.  Any party entitled to indemnification under
         -------------------------
this
Section  (an  "INDEMNIFIED  PARTY") will give written notice to the indemnifying
party  of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that
the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as
provided  herein  shall  not  relieve  the indemnifying party of its obligations
under  this Section except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually
prejudiced  by  such  failure  to give notice. In case any action, proceeding or
claim  is  brought  against  an  indemnified  party  in  respect  of  which
indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate  in  and,  unless  in  the  reasonable  judgment  of  counsel to the
indemnified  party  a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party
may  exist  with  respect  to  such  action,  proceeding or claim, to assume the
defense  thereof  with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.
In  the  event  that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it
will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty
(30)  days  of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such
person  of  its  election  to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and
expense,  any  action,  proceeding  or claim (or discontinues its defense at any
time  after  it  commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its
option,  defend,  settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In
any  event,  unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume
and  does  so  assume  the  defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the
indemnified party's costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or
compromise  of  any  such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to
indemnification  hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the
indemnifying  party in connection with any settlement negotiations or defense of
any  such  action  or  claim  by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the
indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party
which  relates  to  such  action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or
any  settlement  negotiations  with  respect  thereto. If the indemnifying party
elects  to  defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be
entitled  to  participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole
cost  and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement
of  any  action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the indemnifying party
shall  not,  without  the  indemnified  party's prior written consent, settle or
compromise  any  claim  or  consent  to entry of any judgment in respect thereof
which  imposes  any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not
include,  as  an  unconditional  term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the
plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of
such  claim.  The  indemnification  required  by  this  Section shall be made by
periodic  payments  of  the amount thereof during the course of investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is
incurred,  within  ten  (10)  Business  Days  of  written  notice thereof to the
indemnifying party so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund
such  moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
that  such  party  was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements
contained  herein  shall  be  in  addition to (a) any cause of action or similar
rights  of  the  indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and
(b)  any  liabilities  the  indemnifying  party  may  be  subject  to.

Section  7.               GOVERNING  LAW
                          --------------

     Any  controversy,  claim or dispute arising from the interpretation of this
Agreement,  or  breach  thereof,  shall  settled by arbitration in the County of
Orange,  California  in  accordance  with  the rules of the American Arbitration
Association  there  in  effect,  except  that the parties thereto shall have any
right  to  discovery  as  would  be  permitted  by  the  Federal  Rules of Civil
Procedure.  The  prevailing  Party  shall be entitled to reimbursement of actual
costs  and  attorney's  fees  from  the  arbitration  and  the  decision  of the
Arbitrator(s)  shall  be  final.

Section  8               ASSIGNABILITY.
                         -------------

     This  Agreement  and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall
bind  and  inure  to the benefit of Consultant and its legal representatives and
heirs  and  the  Company  and  any  successor  or  successors  of the Company by
reorganization,  merger,  or  consolidation  and  any  assignee  of  all  or
substantially  all  of  its  business and properties, but, except as to any such
legal  representatives  or  heirs  of Consultant or successor or assignee of the
Company,  neither  this  Agreement  nor  any rights or benefits hereunder may be
assigned by the Company or the Executive.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or
implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit
or  remedy  of  any  nature  whatsoever  under  or  by reason of this Agreement.

Section  9.               ENTIRE  AGREEMENT
                          -----------------

     This  Agreement  constitutes  the  entire  agreement of the Company and the
