      THIS EMPLOYMENT AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), is made
and entered into on March 30, 2007 (the "Effective Date"), by and between
MIDNIGHT HOLDINGS GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries and
affiliates whether in existence or to be formed (collectively, the "Company"),
and STEPHEN J. STEARMAN (the "Employee").

                              PRELIMINARY RECITALS:

A. WHEREAS, on the Effective Date, All Night Auto of Oklahoma, Inc., a Michigan
corporation wholly owned by the Midnight Holdings Group, Inc., and Elite
Automotive Group, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company of which the
Employee is the majority owner, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement"), and

B. WHEREAS, in conjunction with the transaction evidenced by the Purchase
Agreement the Company wishes to employ the Employee as its Director of Southwest
and West Coast Operations and the Employee wishes to become employed with the
Company in that capacity.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants of
the parties hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

      1. EMPLOYMENT.

            1.1 ENGAGEMENT OF EMPLOYEE. The Company agrees to employ the
Employee and the Employee agrees to accept employment as the Director of
Southwest and West Coast Operations of the Company, all in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

            1.2 DUTIES AND POWERS. During the Employment Period, the Employee

and affairs of the Company. The Employee acknowledges that his duties and
responsibilities will require his full-time business efforts and agrees that
during the Employment Period he will not engage in any other business activity
or have any business pursuits or interests which materially interfere or
conflict with the performance of the Employee's duties hereunder, provided, that

                                   EXHIBIT C

            1.3 EMPLOYMENT PERIOD. The Employee's employment under this
Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue through and until
the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Initial Period") unless
extended as provided in this Section 1.3. This Agreement shall be automatically
extended for additional consecutive one (1) year periods ("Renewal Periods")
unless either party delivers to the other party written notice of such party's
election not to renew this Agreement at least ninety (90) days prior to the
expiration of the Initial Period or any Renewal Periods. The Initial Period and
the Renewal Periods are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Employment
Period." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Employment Period is subject to termination pursuant to Section 1.4 and Section
1.5 below.

            1.4 TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company has the right to
terminate Employee's employment under this Agreement, by notice to Employee in
writing, (i) at any time for Good Cause (as hereinafter defined), (ii) at any
time after the Initial Period without Good Cause for any or no reason, (iii) at
any time due to the death or Total Disability (as hereinafter defined) of the
Employee, and/or (iv) at any time Without Cause Pursuant To A Merger. Any such
termination shall be effective upon the date of service of such notice pursuant
to Section 13. As used herein, "Good Cause" means the occurrence of any of the
following events:

                  (a) conviction of a felony;

                  (b) willful and serious misconduct;

                  (c) the unapproved or inappropriate disclosure of any
      confidential company information to persons either internal or external of
      the Company;

                  (d) failure to satisfactorily perform the duties of the
      Employee's position as measured and established by the Company's Director
      of Sales and Marketing (consistent with Exhibit A), which failure is not
      cured within fifteen (15) Business Days of written notice from the Company
      to the Employee; or

                  (e) a breach by the Employee of this Agreement or by the
      Employee or his affiliates of the Purchase Agreement or any other
      agreement referenced in, or related to, this Agreement or the Purchase
      Agreement, which breach is not cured within fifteen (15) Business Days
      after written notice is given by the Company or a successor in interest.

            The Employee shall be deemed to have a "Total Disability" for
purposes of this Agreement if he is unable to perform, by reason of physical or
mental incapacity, his duties or obligations under this Agreement, for a total
period of ninety (90) consecutive days or one hundred twenty (120) cumulative
days in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and such incapacity is
continuing on the date of notice of termination. The Company's Board of
Directors (the "Board") shall determine, according to the facts then available
and based upon the opinion provided to the Board by the Employee's personal
physician, whether and when the Total Disability of the Employee has occurred.
Such determination shall not be arbitrary or unreasonable.

                                    EXHIBIT C

            1.5 TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE. The Employee has the right to terminate
his employment under this Agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice
to the Company. Although the Employee may terminate his employment for any
reason, including any salary reduction (whether or not shared by other similar
Company employees), or any requirement by the Company that the Employee spend
any more than fifty percent (50%) of his time outside the State of Oklahoma),
the Employee shall be deemed to have terminated his employment for "Good Reason"
ONLY if the Company engages in any of the following actions (which action
continues for more than fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice is given
by the Employee to the Company that the Employee considers the action to
constitute Good Reason to terminate employment under this Employment Agreement).
The following actions by the Company (and ONLY the following actions) shall be
deemed to constitute Good Reason:

                  (a) materially reduces or decreases the Employee's salary from
      the level and effect on the date hereof without equally adjusting other
      employee salaries (for example, a salary decrease adjustment for all
      employees at an equal level to the Employee in the Company of any equal
      percentage of their base salary will not be a Good Reason);

                  (b) fails to include the Employee in any incentive
      compensation plans, bonus plans or other plans and benefits provided by
      the Company to other employees of equal level in the Company;

                  (c) materially reduces, decreases or diminishes the nature,
      status or duties and responsibilities of the Employee's position with the
      Company in effect on the date hereof and such reduction, decrease or
      diminution is not reasonably related to or the result of an adverse change
      in the Employee's performance of assigned duties and responsibilities; and

                  (d) a breach by the Company or a successor in interest of the
      Company of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, or any other agreement
      referenced in, or related to, this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement,
      which breach is not cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after written
      notice is given by the Employee.

      2. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

            2.1 BASE COMPENSATION. During the Employment Period, the Company
will pay the Employee an annual salary of ONE HUNDRED TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
($110,000)(the "Base Salary"), payable in equal installments and in accordance
with the Company's regular payroll policy for salaried employees, but in no
event shall these installments be paid to employee less frequently than monthly
(as of the date hereof, the Company pays payroll twice a month on the 15th day
and the last day of each month).. The Employee's Base Salary shall be subject to
review annually by the Company's Board of Directors and may be increased (but
not decreased). In any event the Employee's Base Salary will be increased for
cost of living adjustments of two percent (2%) of the Employee's Base Salary
during the second and each of the following years of employment.

            2.2 BONUS COMPENSATION. In addition to his Base Salary, during the
Employment Period, Employee will be paid bonuses ("Bonus Compensation") when
specific operational criteria are met. These include: retail and service center
sales and operations meeting or exceeding expectations; corporate infrastructure

exceeding expectations; employee and team member performance meeting and
exceeding expectations. Bonuses will be paid, at the option of the Employee, in
the form of U.S. Dollars or cashless warrants or both U.S. Dollars and cashless
warrants. The strike price of any issued warrants shall be based upon the
average closing price of the Company's stock during the 6-month period
immediately prior to the award. In no case shall the strike price be below $0.08
per share. A copy of the form of the cashless warrant will be attached as
Exhibit B to the Employment Agreement. During the Employment Period, the
Employee's annual bonus structure shall be as follows:

                        (a). If all service centers and retail stores within the
      Employee's region meet or exceed operational expectations, the Executive
      will receive a cash award of $15,000 or cashless warrants that are
      equivalent to $15,000; and

                        (b). If all corporate infrastructure and vendor/supplier
      programs meet or exceed the prescribed expectations, the Employee will
      receive an additional cash award of $10,000 or cashless warrants that are
      equivalent to $10,000; and

                        (c). If all employee and team member programs for
      performance and measurement meet or exceed expectations, the Employee will
      receive an additional cash award of $5,000 or cashless warrants that are
      equivalent to $5,000.

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the expectations upon which the
Executive's Bonus Compensation will be based are set forth on Exhibit C to this
Agreement.

            2.3 STOCK GRANT. The Company hereby grants the Employee one million
(1,000,000) shares of the Company's restricted common stock (the "Restricted
Stock"). The Employee will become fully vested with respect to the Restricted
Stock on the second anniversary of the Effective Date of this Employment
Agreement, provided that the Employee continuously serves as an employee of the
Company during that period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee's
employment is terminated by the Company for other than "Good Cause" or if the
Employee terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason, the
Restricted Stock shall immediately vest. Possession and enjoyment of the
Restricted Stock shall be otherwise subject to the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement attached as Exhibit D to this Agreement and shall also be subject to a
Registration Rights Agreement attached as set Exhibit E to this Agreement.

            2.4 COMPENSATION AFTER TERMINATION.

                  (a) If the Employment Period is terminated (i) by the Company
      for Good Cause, (ii) by the Employee upon proper notice, or (iii) upon
      expiration of the Employment Period, then the Company shall have no
      further obligations hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Employee's
      employment from and after the termination or expiration date (except
      payment of the Employee's Base Salary accrued through the date of
      termination or expiration and any other accrued and unpaid benefits, if
      any), and the Company shall continue to have all other rights available
      hereunder (including without limitation, all rights under Section 3 at law
      or in equity).

                              period of six (6) months after the effective date
                              of the termination) to be paid in the same manner
                              as if the Employee had remained employed with the

                              termination occurs during any Renewal Period, then
                              for a period of six (6) months after the effective

                  (d) the Employee's employment with the Company has special,
      unique and extraordinary value to the Company and the Company would be
      irreparably damaged if the Employee were to provide services to any person
      or entity in violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

            3.2 NON-COMPETE. The Employee hereby agrees that for a period
commencing on the Effective Date and ending one (1) year following the
termination of his employment with the Company (the "Restricted Period"), he
will not, directly or indirectly, as employee, agent, consultant, stockholder,
director, co-partner or in any other individual or representative capacity, own,
operate, manage, control, engage in, invest in or participate in any manner in,
act as a consultant or advisor to, render services for (alone or in association
with any person, firm, corporation or entity), or otherwise assist any person or
entity (other than the Company) that engages in or owns, invests in, operates,
manages or controls any venture or enterprise that directly or indirectly
engages or proposes to engage the automotive repair business, or the sale of
automotive aftermarket parts or accessories (the "Business") and which conducts
(or proposes to conduct) business anywhere within a 10 mile radius around any
retail store or automotive service center operated, franchised, or supplied by
the Company or its affiliates (or potential retail store or automotive service
center locations which the Company plans to open, build, operate, franchise or
supply as of the date of the Employee's termination of employment if the Company
has taken more than one affirmative act in effecting such plans) (the
"Territory"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing contained herein shall be
construed to prevent the

Employee from investing in the stock or other securities of any competing
corporation or entity listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the
over-the-counter market, but only if the Employee is not actively involved in
the business of said corporation or entity and if the Employee and his
associates (as such term is defined in Regulation 14(A) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as in effect on the Effective Date ),
collectively, do not own more than an aggregate of five (5%) percent of the
stock of such corporation ("Permitted Investments").

            3.3 BLUE-PENCIL. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any
time deem the Restricted Period too long, the scope or the Business too broad,
or the Territory too extensive, the other provisions of this Section 3 shall
nevertheless stand, the Restricted Period shall be deemed to be the longest
period permissible by law under the circumstances, the scope of the Business
shall be deemed to be the broadest scope permissible by law under the
circumstances and the Territory shall be deemed to comprise the largest
territory permissible by law under the circumstances. The court in each case
shall reduce the Restricted Period, scope and/or Territory to permissible
duration or size.

            3.4 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. While employed by the Company, the
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, unless approved in writing by the
Company which approval may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion:

                  (a) participate in any way in the benefits of transactions
      between the Company and its suppliers or customers or have personal
      financial transactions with any of the Company's suppliers or customers,
      including, without limitation, having a financial interest in the
      Company's suppliers or customers, or making loans to, or receiving loans
      from, the Company's suppliers or customers;

                  (b) realize the personal gain or advantage from a transaction
      in which the Company has an interest or use information obtained in
      connection with the Employee's employment with the Company for the
      Employee's personal advantage or gain; or

                  (c) accept any offer to serve as an officer, director,
      partner, consultant, agent or manager with, or to be employed in a
      technical or sales capacity by, a person or entity which does business
      with the Company.

            3.5 INVENTIONS.

                        (a) The Employee agrees that all inventions,
      discoveries, improvements and patentable or copyrightable works
      ("INVENTIONS") initiated, conceived or made by him, either alone or in
      conjunction with others, during the Employment Period shall be the sole
      property of the Company to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law
      and, to the extent permitted by law, shall be "works made for hire" as
      that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C.A.,
      Section 101). The Company shall be the sole owner of all patents,
      copyrights, trade secret rights, and other intellectual property or other
      rights in connection therewith. The Employee hereby assigns to the Company
      all right, title and interest he may have or acquire in all such
      Inventions; provided, however, that the Company may in its sole discretion
      agree to

      waive the Company's rights pursuant to this Section 3.5 with respect to
      any Invention that is not directly or indirectly related to the Company's
      business.

                        The Employee further agrees to assist the Company in
      every proper way (but at the Company's expense) to obtain and from time to
      time enforce patents, copyrights or other rights on such Inventions in any
      and all countries, and to that end the Employee will execute all documents
      necessary:

                              (i) to apply for, obtain and vest in the name of
      the Company alone (unless the Company otherwise directs) letters patent,
      copyrights or other analogous protection in any country throughout the
      world and when so obtained or vested to renew and restore the same; and

                              (ii) to defend any opposition proceedings in
      respect of such applications and any opposition proceedings or petitions
      or applications for revocation of such letters patent, copyright or other
      analogous protection.

                        (b) The Employee acknowledges that while performing the
      services under this Agreement the Employee may locate, identify and/or
      evaluate patented or patentable inventions having commercial potential in
      the fields of automotive repair or retail sales of automotive aftermarket
      products and other fields which may be of potential interest to the
      Company or one of its affiliates (the "THIRD PARTY INVENTIONS"). The
      Employee understands, acknowledges and agrees that all rights to,
      interests in or opportunities regarding, all Third-Party Inventions
      identified by the Company, any of its affiliates or either of the
      foregoing persons' officers, directors, employees (including the
      Employee), agents or consultants during the Employment Period shall be and
      remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company or such affiliate
      and the Employee shall have no rights whatsoever to such Third-Party
      Inventions and will not pursue for himself or for others any transaction
      relating to the Third-Party Inventions which is not on behalf of the
      Company unless the Company has expressly abandoned its interest in such
      Third Party Inventions in writing.

                  (c) The Employee agrees that he will promptly disclose to the
      Company, or any persons designated by the Company, all improvements,
      Inventions made or conceived or reduced to practice, either alone or
      jointly with others, during the Employment Period.

      4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During the Restricted Period, the Employee
shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Company, furnish, make available or disclose to any
third party or use for the benefit of himself or any third party, any
Confidential Information, except as may be necessary to carry out his duties
hereunder or as may legally be required. As used in this Section 4,
"Confidential Information" shall mean any information relating to the business
or affairs of the Company or the Business, including, but not limited to,
information relating to financial statements, customer identities, potential
customers, employees, suppliers, servicing methods, equipment, programs,
strategies and information, analyses, profit margins or other proprietary
information used by the Company in connection with the Business; provided,
however, that Confidential Information shall not include any information which
is in the public domain or becomes known in the

<PAGE>

                                   EXHIBIT C

industry through no wrongful act on the part of the Employee. The Employee
acknowledges that the Confidential Information is vital, sensitive, confidential
and proprietary to the Company.

      5. INTERFERENCE WITH RELATIONSHIPS. During the Restricted Period, the
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, as employee, agent, consultant,
stockholder, director, co-partner or in any other individual or representative
capacity: (i) without the prior written consent of the Company, employ or
engage, recruit or solicit for employment or engagement, any person who is (or
was within six months of the date such employment, engagement or solicitation
commences or occurs, as the case may be) employed or engaged by the Company, or
otherwise seek to influence or alter any such person's relationship with the
Company, or (ii) solicit or encourage any present or future customer or supplier
of the Company to terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with
the Company.

      6. EFFECT ON TERMINATION. If the Company or the Employee should terminate
the Employee's employment pursuant to Section 1 above for any reason, then,
notwithstanding such termination, those provisions contained in Section 2.3,
2.4, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof shall remain in
full force and effect for the duration of the Restricted Period.

      7. REMEDIES. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set
forth in Section 3, 4, and 5 of this Agreement (collectively, the "Restrictive
Covenants") are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company's
business interests, that irreparable injury will result to the Company if the
Employee breaches any of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants, and that in the
event of the Employee's actual or threatened breach of any of the Restrictive
Covenants, the Company will have no adequate remedy at law. The Employee
accordingly agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach by him
of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall be entitled to seek
immediate temporary injunctive and other equitable relief, without the necessity
of showing actual monetary damages, subject to hearing as soon thereafter as
possible. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company
from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened
breach, including the recovery of any damages which it is able to prove. In the
event of a breach by the Company hereunder, the Employee shall be entitled to
pursue all remedies available to him, whether at law or in equity (including
specific performance), any and all of which may be cumulative and which are not
exclusive.

      8. INCOME TAX TREATMENT. The Employee and the Company acknowledge that it
is the intention of the Company to deduct all amounts paid under Section 2
hereof as ordinary and necessary business expenses for income tax purposes. The
Employee agrees and represents that he will treat all amounts paid hereunder as
ordinary income for income tax purposes, and should he report such amounts as
other than ordinary income for income tax purposes, he will indemnify and hold
the Company harmless from and against any and all taxes, penalties, interest,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' and accounting fees and
costs, which are incurred by Company directly or indirectly as a result thereof.

      9. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party to this Agreement may assign or delegate any
of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may merge with another
entity and such transaction shall not be deemed to be an "assignment" by the
Company of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. All covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement by

expressed or not. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing herein
is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies whatsoever.

      10. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited
by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder
of this Agreement.

                        RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

      This RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of
March 30, 2007 (the "Effective Date"), by and between MIDNIGHT HOLDINGS GROUP,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and STEPHEN J. STEARMAN
("Stearman").

                                    RECITALS

Company to Stearman of 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the
Company, par value $.00005 per share (the "Common Stock");

      B. The shares of Common Stock to be granted to Stearman will be subject to
certain restrictions on transfer and other terms and conditions; and

      C. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
given to them in the Employment Agreement.

      NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants and promises hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereby agree as follows:

      1. GRANT OF STOCK. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver to
Stearman a stock certificate in his name for 1,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of
Common Stock pursuant to the Employment Agreement (the "Certificate"). The
Shares and the Certificate shall be subject to all the terms, conditions and
restrictions set forth in this Agreement. In the event Stearman is not in
possession of the Certificate by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on Monday, April 9,
2007, the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries shall be in breach of the
Employment Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by the parties

the Additional Agreements, as that term is defined in the Asset Purchase
Agreement

      2. VESTING AND COMPANY'S RIGHT OF REPURCHASE. The Shares shall become
fully vested upon the second anniversary of the date hereof, provided that
Stearman has continuously served as an employee of the Company or its affiliates
during such two year period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stearman's
employment is terminated by the Company for other than "Good Cause" or if the
Stearman terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason, the Shares
shall immediately vest. If Stearman's employment is terminated prior to such
second anniversary by the Company for Good Cause, or by Stearman for other than
Good Reason, then the Company shall have the

right to repurchase all such Shares for an aggregate purchase price for all
Shares of One Dollar ($1.00).

      3. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. The Shares are subject to all of the terms and
provisions of the Employment Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the
terms of this Agreement and the Employment Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.

      4. SHARES RECEIVED IN CERTAIN CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. The terms of this
Agreement shall apply to any stock or securities received by Stearman in
exchange for the Shares pursuant to a plan of merger, consolidation,
recapitalization or reorganization of the Company. The terms of this Agreement
shall also apply to any security received as a result of a stock split or stock
dividend with respect to the Shares, and such securities shall become Shares
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

      5. STOCK LEGEND. The Company and Stearman agree that all certificates
representing all Shares that at any time are subject to the provisions of this
Agreement will have endorsed upon them in bold-faced type a legend in
substantially the following form:

RESTRICTIONS ON THE OWNERSHIP RIGHTS OF THE STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN IMPOSED PURSUANT TO A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
DATED MARCH 30, 2007. A COPY OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT IS ON FILE
AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY AND WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE TO

other party of such change of address.

      7. TAXES. To the extent the lapse of restrictions results in the receipt
of compensation by Stearman for tax purposes, the Company shall withhold from
any cash compensation then or thereafter payable to Stearman any tax required to
be withheld by reason thereof. To the extent the Company determines that such
cash compensation is or may be insufficient to fully satisfy such withholding
requirement, Stearman shall deliver to the Company cash in an amount determined
by the Company to be sufficient to satisfy any such withholding requirement. If
Stearman makes the election authorized by Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Stearman shall submit to the Company a copy of
