                  3.08. Financial Statements. Attached hereto as SCHEDULE 3.08
are true and complete copies of the Company's estimated balance sheet prepared
in good faith as of 30th September 2001 (the "Balance Sheet") and the estimates
of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the period then ended,
including the notes thereto (the "Financial Statements"). The date of the
Balance Sheet is referred to herein as the "Balance Sheet Date." The Financial
Statements, including the notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied by the Company
according to past practice throughout the periods indicated. The Financial
Statements are complete and correct in all respects and fairly present the
financial condition and the results of operations of the Company as at the dates
and for the periods indicated.

                  3.09. Records and Books of Account. The records and books of
account of the Company reflect all material items of income and expense and all
material assets, liabilities and accruals, and have been regularly kept and
maintained in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a consistent basis with preceding years.

                  3.10. Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. To the best of
Sellers' knowledge and belief, except as and to the extent reflected or reserved
against in the Company's Balance Sheet as of the Balance Sheet Date or disclosed
in SCHEDULE 3.10, there are no liabilities or obligations of the Company of any
kind whatsoever, whether accrued, fixed, absolute, contingent, determined or
determinable, and including without limitation (i) liabilities to former,
retired or active

                                  Page 4 of 36
<PAGE>

employees of the Company under any pension, health and welfare benefit plan,
vacation plan or other plan of the Company, (ii) tax liabilities incurred in
respect of or measured by income for any period prior to the close of business
on the Balance Sheet Date, or arising out of transactions entered into, or any
state of facts existing, on or prior to said date, and (iii) contingent
liabilities in the nature of an endorsement, guarantee, indemnity or warranty,
and there is no condition, situation or circumstance existing or which has
existed that could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of the
Company, other than liabilities and contingent liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business since the Balance Sheet Date consistent with the
Company's recent customary business practice, none of which is materially
adverse to the Company.

                  3.11. Tax Matters. To the best of Seller's knowledge and
belief, except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3.11, the sum of the reserves for
current and deferred national and local tax liabilities on the Balance Sheet as
of the Balance Sheet Date are sufficient for the payment of all United Kingdom,
foreign, state, county and local taxes of the Company (including interest and
penalties to the Balance Sheet Date) whether or not disputed, for all its fiscal
years and accounting periods ended on or before the Balance Sheet Date, which
(i) are shown on a Return of the Company (as defined below), (ii) have been
asserted by a taxing authority against the Company, or (iii) are otherwise owed
by the Company with respect to its operations or property conducted or held on
or prior to the Balance Sheet Date. The Company's United Kingdom and all other
local income tax, franchise tax, any foreign tax, and other business tax
returns, if any, have been examined by the Inland Revenue Service and/or by the
appropriate Local or foreign tax commissions as set forth in SCHEDULE 3.11. The
results of such examinations are properly reflected in the Financial Statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently
with prior statements and all deficiencies proposed as a result of such
examinations have been paid and settled, except as disclosed in SCHEDULE 3.11.
Except as disclosed in SCHEDULE 3.11: (i) the Company has filed when due all
returns, declarations and reports and information returns and statements in
respect of any taxes required to be filed by or with respect to it on or before
the date hereof (collectively, "Returns"); (ii) the Returns which have not been
examined and for which the statute of limitations remains open were either
prepared consistently with Returns which have been examined or for which the
statute of limitations has expired, or adequate provision has been made therefor
in the Financial Statements; (iii) the Company has timely paid all taxes that
have been shown as due and payable on its Returns; (iv) the Company is not
delinquent in the payment of any taxes and has not requested any extension of
time within which to file or send any Return, which Return has not since been
filed or sent; and (v) no deficiency for any taxes has been proposed, asserted
or assessed against the Company for which the Company could be liable.

                  3.12. Accounts Receivable. The accounts receivable of the
Company shown on the Balance Sheet as of the Balance Sheet Date are, and will
be, actual bona fide receivables from transactions in the ordinary course of
business representing valid and binding obligations of others for the total _
Sterling amount shown thereon, and as of the Balance Sheet Date were not (and
presently are not) subject to any recoupments, set-offs, or counterclaims. All
such accounts receivable are and will be collectible in amounts not less than
the amounts (net of reserves) carried

<PAGE>

on the books of the Company and will be paid in accordance with their terms. All
such accounts receivable are and will be actual bona fide receivables from
transactions in the ordinary course of business.

                  3.13. Inventory. The inventories of the Company shown on its
Balance Sheet as of the Balance Sheet Date are so shown on the basis of a
complete physical count and are carried at values which reflect the normal
inventory valuation policy of the Company of stating the items of inventory at
cost or market value, whichever is lower, on a first in, first out basis in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

                  3.14. Machinery and Equipment. Except for items disposed of in
the ordinary course of business, all machinery, tools, equipment and all other
tangible personal property (hereinafter "Fixed Assets") of the Company currently
being used in the conduct of its business, or included in determining the net
worth of the Company on the Balance Sheet as of the Balance Sheet Date, together
with any machinery or equipment that is leased or operated by the Company, are
in good and fully serviceable working condition and repair. The Fixed Assets are

written up the value of any such Fixed Assets.

Company does not own any real property.

                  3.16. Leases. All leases of real and personal property of the

obligations required to be performed by it under all such leases to date and it
is not in default in any material respect under any of said leases, except as

to be removed at the termination of any lease, except signs. No other party to
any such lease is in material default thereunder. Except as noted on SCHEDULE
3.16, none of the leases listed thereon require the consent of a third party in
connection with the transfer of the Shares.

                  3.17. Patents, Trademarks, Etc. The Company owns, or possesses

law, regulation, order or requirement relating to any of the foregoing, nor, to
the knowledge of any Seller or the Company after due inquiry, are there any
circumstances that would or might give rise to any such violation. To the best
of Sellers' knowledge and belief, the Company has filed all reports required to
be filed with any governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or
authority.

         impending loss of any materially important contract or customer.

                  No information has been brought to the attention of the
Company or any Seller that might reasonably lead the Company or any Seller to
believe that any customer (other than Ambirad -- see Schedule 3.20(v)) or
supplier of the Company intends to cease dealing with the Company, nor has
information been brought to the attention of the Company or any Seller that
might reasonably lead any of them to believe that any customer or supplier
intends to alter in any material respect the amount of such customer's or
supplier's dealings with the Company or would alter in any material respect such
dealings in the event of the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby. Neither the Company nor any Seller has knowledge that any officer or
other key employee of the Company is considering the termination of employment.

                  3.24. Employee Benefit Plans and Arrangements. The Company has
no employee benefit plans, pension plans or individual account plans or any

                  3.25. Assets. The assets of the Company are sufficient in all
material respects to carry on the operations of the Business as now conducted by
the Company. The Company is the only business organization through which the
Business is conducted. Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3.16, all assets used by
the Sellers and the Company to conduct the Business are owned by the Company.

                  3.26. Absence of Certain Commercial Practices. Neither the
Company nor any Seller has made any payment (directly or by secret commissions,
discounts, compensation or other payments) or given any gifts to another
business concern, to an agent or employee of another business concern or of any
governmental entity (domestic or foreign) or to a political party or candidate
for political office (domestic or foreign), to obtain or retain business for the
Company or to receive favorable or preferential treatment, except for gifts and
entertainment given to

                                 Page 12 of 36
<PAGE>

representatives of customers or potential customers (i) of sufficiently limited
value and in a form (other than cash) that would not be construed as a bribe or
payoff, (ii) which are consistent with accepted ethical customs and practices,
and (iii) public disclosure of which would not embarrass either Sellers or
Purchaser.

                  3.27. Licenses, Permits, Consents and Approvals. To the best
of Sellers' knowledge and belief, the Company has all licenses, permits or other
authorizations of governmental, regulatory or administrative agencies or
authorities (collectively, "Licenses") required to conduct the Business. No
registration, filing, application, notice, transfer, consent, approval, order,
qualification, waiver or other action of any kind (collectively, a "Filing")
will be required as a result of the sale of the Shares by Sellers in accordance
with this Agreement (a) to avoid the loss of any License or the violation,
breach or termination of, or any default under, or the creation of any lien on
any asset of the Company pursuant to the terms of, any law, regulation, order or
other requirement or any contract binding upon the Company or to which any such
asset may be subject, or (b) to enable Purchaser (directly or through any
designee) to continue the operation of the Company and the Business
substantially as conducted as of the date hereof.

                  3.28. Broker. Neither the Company nor any Seller has retained
any broker in connection with any transaction contemplated by this Agreement for
which Purchaser would be obligated to pay any fee or commission.

                  3.29. Related Party Transactions. All transactions of the
Company during the past five years have been conducted on an arms-length basis.
All transactions during the past five years between the Company and any current
or former shareholder or any entity in which the Company or any current or
former shareholder had or has a direct or indirect interest have been fair to
the Company and on terms comparable to those that would have prevailed in an
arms-length transaction. No portion of the sales or other on-going business
relationships of the Company is dependent upon the friendship or the personal
relationships (other than those customary within business generally) of any
Seller or any of the Company's officers, directors, consultants, agents or other
key employees. During the past five years, the Company has not forgiven or
canceled, without receiving full consideration, any indebtedness owing to it by
any Seller, any officer, director, consultant, agent or other employee of the
Company, or any entity in which any Seller or the Company has a direct or
indirect interest. Except for the ownership of not more than 1% of the
outstanding securities of any class of any publicly-held corporation, no Seller
owns, and to the best knowledge of the Sellers none of the Company's officers,
directors, consultants, agents or other key employees (including purchasing
agents and departmental managers) owns, directly or indirectly, any interest in
or has any investment or profit participation in any corporation or other entity
that is a competitor or potential competitor of or that otherwise, directly or
indirectly, does business with the Company. Sellers have advised Purchasers
that, with the full knowledge and consent of the Company, some transactions have
been carried out by the consultancies of Sellers Emanuel, Mooring and Allies.

                  3.30. Disclosure. All statements contained in any schedule,
certificate, opinion,

                                 Page 13 of 36

a prospective purchaser of the business of the Company with full and fair

         8. INDEMNIFICATION.

                  8.01. Indemnity of Purchaser. The Sellers Emanuel, Mooring and
Allies, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchaser, the Company, and their respective officers, directors, agents and
employees, successors and assigns, subject to any applicable limitation in time
set forth in Section 6 above, from and against and in respect of any and all
claims, demands, actions, suits, losses, costs, damages, consequential damages,
liabilities, charges, expenses, obligations, judgments, lost profits, diminution
in value and deficiencies of any kind or character, including, without
limitation, interest and penalties, whether or not involving a third party
claim, which may be asserted or secured against, sustained, suffered or incurred
by Purchaser, the Company or any of such other persons and arises out of or in
any manner is incident to, relates to or is attributable to:

                  (i) Any misrepresentation, misstatement, material omission,
         breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any obligation, covenant or
         condition on the part of Sellers (a) herein or in any Schedule or
         Exhibit hereto, or (b) in any certificate or other instrument or
         document furnished to the Purchaser in connection herewith;

                  (ii) Any liability of the Purchaser for any liability or
         obligation of the Company to be satisfied by Sellers pursuant to the
         terms hereof, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise and
         whether known or unknown, due or which became due;

                  (iii) Any failure by Sellers to perform or observe, or to have
         performed or observed, in full, any covenant, agreement or condition to
         be performed or

                                 Page 17 of 36
<PAGE>

         observed by them under this Agreement or any Schedule or Exhibit hereto
         or under any certificate or other document or agreement executed by any
         of them in connection herewith; and

                  (iv) Any and all material actions, suits, proceedings,
         demands, assessments or judgments, including legal and other necessary
         and reasonable costs and expenses, incident to any of the foregoing.

                  8.02. Defense of Claims. In the event any claim, action, suit
or proceeding is made or brought by any third party against the Company or
Purchaser, or if any governmental enforcement agency shall propose to issue an
order, with respect to which Sellers may have liability under this Agreement,
the Sellers shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that they
shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with independent counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. If the Sellers elect to assume the
defense of any such third-party claim, the Sellers shall have the right to
contest, pay, settle or compromise any such claim on such terms and conditions
as they may determine, provided that the Sellers shall not pay, settle or
compromise any such claim without the prior written consent of the Purchaser,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Sellers do not elect to
assume the defense of any such claim, the Purchaser may engage counsel to assume
the defense and may contest, pay, settle or compromise any such claim on such
terms and conditions as the Purchaser may determine. The reasonable fees and
disbursements of such counsel shall be among the expenses for which Purchaser is
indemnified pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Purchaser and the Sellers, as the case
may be, shall (as the other may reasonably request) keep the other fully
informed of such claim, action, suit or proceeding at all stages thereof whether
or not such party is represented by its own counsel.

                  8.03. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute between Sellers and
Purchaser relating to a claim for indemnification shall be resolved as follows:

                  (i) Mediation. Any controversies between the Company and
         Employee involving the construction or application of any of the terms,
         provisions or conditions of this Agreement shall on the written request
         of either party served on the other first be submitted to mediation by
         a single mediator to be agreed between the parties.

                  (ii) Arbitration. In the event that the controversies have not
         been resolved to both party's satisfaction within a period not to
         exceed six months from the date of request being submitted the
         controversies shall be referred to and determined by an appraiser
         mutually acceptable to the parties. In the event they cannot agree on
         such selection, Purchaser and Sellers shall each nominate an appraiser
         as its (or their) representative and the two appraisers so nominated
         shall jointly select a third appraiser. In such event, the resolution
         of the dispute shall be decided by a majority of the three appraisers.
         The resolution of the dispute by the appraisers

                                 Page 18 of 36
<PAGE>

         shall be final and binding upon all parties as to financial matters,
         but shall not extend to any nonfinancial interpretation of this
         Agreement unless Purchaser and Sellers shall mutually agree in writing
         to the contrary.

                  (ii) If the dispute does not involve financial matters, or if
         the parties are unable to agree whether the dispute involves financial
         matters, then the dispute shall be submitted to and settled by
         arbitration as provided in Section 19 hereof.

                  8.04. Effect of Purchaser's Knowledge. Any knowledge of any

which corporation, together with its subsidiary companies, shall hereinafter be
referred to as "Company" and Anthony R. Marando, hereinafter referred to as

        WHEREAS, Company is engaged in the business of providing comprehensive
outsourcing services to the property and casualty insurance industry with an
emphasis on providing full third party administration outsourcing services for
flood insurers and is also a provider of flood zone determination and ancillary
services primarily to insurance companies and financial institutions throughout
the State of Florida and such other states as the Company shall deem
appropriate;

        WHEREAS, the Company's business requires secrecy in connection with the
methods and systems employed, and, for the proper protection of the Company, it
is absolutely necessary and essential (which necessity Employee expressly
recognizes) that all matters connected with, arising out of, or pertaining to
the business of the Company, its methods and systems and the names of its
customers be kept secret and confidential as goodwill belonging to the Company;

       WHEREAS, the Company will sustain great loss and damage, if during the
term of this Agreement, or for a period of two (2) years immediately following
its termination for any reason whatsoever, the Employee should, for himself or
herself, or on behalf of any other person, persons, company, partnership or
corporation, call upon the customers or clientele of the Company for the purpose
of soliciting, selling or servicing any of the programs or services of the
Company, or the solicitation of any Company employee for the purpose of hiring
such employee, for which loss and damage, by reason of his or her financial
circumstances, Employee could not be compelled by law to respond to damages in
any action at law.

        NOW, THEREFORE, Company and Employee, in consideration of the covenants
and agreements herein contained and in further consideration of the benefits and
advantages flowing from each to the other, covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1. EMPLOYMENT OF EMPLOYEE. Company hereby agrees to employ Employee as

anniversary of the Commencement Date.

SECTION 2. EMPLOYEE'S BEST EFFORTS. Employee hereby accepts employment by
Company, and agrees to devote his best efforts to this employment. Employee
agrees to perform such other duties as are customarily performed by one holding
such position in other, same or similar businesses as that engaged in by
Company, and shall also render such other and unrelated services and duties as
may be assigned to him from time to time by Company.

SECTION 3.  TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT.

        (b) During the term of this Agreement, Employee's employment may be
terminated by the Company with cause, and no notice or severance is owed.
Involuntary termination with cause is defined as a dismissal at any time based
on failure to conform to the conditions of employment, material breach of this
Agreement, gross misconduct or willful violation of Company policy or procedure
as outlined in Section 2.12 on Involuntary Termination contained in the
Company's Human Resources Policies and Procedures Manual, as amended from time
to time.

        (c) Employee's employment may be terminated by the Company without cause
upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from Company to Employee. Further, at
any time during the term of this Agreement, Employee may terminate his
employment with Company upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Company.
In the event Employee's employment with the Company is terminated without cause
during the term of this Agreement, then the Employee shall be entitled to any
payments payable under Section 1 which have been earned but not yet paid; and,
in addition, Employee shall be entitled to severance pay equal to Employee's
then current salary payable in accordance with the Company's usual payroll
practices for a period of 12 months ("the Severance Payment"). In the event that
the Employee is entitled to a Severance Payment pursuant to this section 3C and
Employee secures employment at any time during the 12 months following
termination (the "Severance Period"), Severance Payments will cease, except that
Employee shall be paid a guaranteed minimum of six (6) months severance.
Employee will notify Company immediately upon securing new employment.

        (d) The Company agrees to include Employee as an insured, on the same
basis as provided to other officers and directors of Company, in any insurance
policy providing indemnification to any officers and directors of company.

        (e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the
event Company shall discontinue operating its business, then this Agreement
shall terminate as of the last day of the month on which Company ceases
operations with the same force and effect as if such last day of the month were
originally set as the termination date hereof.

SECTION 4.  EMPLOYEE'S COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES.

         (a) As compensation for the service to be performed by Employee under
this Agreement, Company shall pay Employee, and Employee shall accept from
Company, a salary of three thousand two hundred ninety and 00/100 Dollars
($3,290.00) per week paid on a bi-weekly basis.

         (b) The Employee shall be provided the same benefits and on the same
basis as other employees of the Company including, but not limited to, the
401(k) plan, life insurance, disability insurance, vacation accruals, health
insurance, incentive compensation plans and stock option plans.

        (c) Employee's salary and allowances will be reviewed annually, as
agreed upon subject to discussions between Employee and Company, on the
commencement date, and any such modifications made during the term of this
Agreement shall be incorporated as part of the Agreement.

         (d) Company shall reimburse Employee for all other reasonable, ordinary
and necessary expenses incurred by Employee on Company's behalf pursuant to
Company's directions and subject to Company's restrictions and requirements.

SECTION 5. FUNDS COLLECTED BY EMPLOYEE. Employee does explicitly understand and
agree that all funds received by him on behalf of Company, as may be authorized
by Company from time to time, shall be held in trust by Employee and shall
immediately be remitted to Company by Employee. Additionally, Employee shall be
responsible for any and all technical data, books, equipment, or other property
of Company which may come into his possession by reason of his employment. In
the event this employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever, Employee
shall immediately turn in to Company and account for all such funds, equipment
and property which may be in the possession of Employee at such termination.

        (a) Covenant not to Compete. The Employee hereby expressly covenants and
agrees, which covenants and agreements are of the essence of this contract, that

           of Florida and such other states in which the Company shall conduct
           business.

           For purposes of this Agreement, it is agreed between the parties
           hereto that the term "prospective customer" is defined as any person
           or company called upon by Employee or by Employee's staff two (2)
           times or more during any part of the six (6) month period next
           preceding the termination of this Agreement for any reason
           whatsoever, or those prospective customers as listed by Employee or
           by Employee's staff as active potential prospects on Employee's
           weekly or monthly sales call reports submitted to Company during any
           part of the six (6) month period next preceding the termination of
           this Agreement for any reasons whatsoever;

                                       3

        (4)nor will Employee, directly or indirectly, for himself or herself or
           on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person, persons,
           company, partnership or corporation: solicit, approach, or call upon
           any Company employee for the purpose of retaining or hiring the
           Company employee in any capacity. In the event of a breach or
           threatened breach by Employee of the provisions of this paragraph,
           Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Employee from
           directly or indirectly soliciting, approaching, or calling upon any
           Company employee for the purpose of retaining or hiring the Company
           employee in any capacity and/or in fact hiring the Company employee
           in any capacity; and, in addition to obtaining an injunction, Company
           shall be entitled to recover damages from Employee.

In the event any Court determines that any of the above specified time periods
to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, a lesser time period
which is determined to be reasonable, non-arbitrary and not against public
policy may be enforced against Employee by injunction, as well as by all other
legal remedies available to Company.

        (b) Non Disclosure. Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the list
of the Company's customers, trade secrets, data processing systems, computer
software, computer programs, or other systems, data, methods, or procedures
developed or used by the Company, as they may exist from time to time, are
valuable, special and unique assets of the Company's business. The Employee will
not, during or after the term of his employment without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld, and except to
the extent necessary to accomplish assignments on behalf of the Company in which
the Employee is, at any given time during the term of Employee's tenure with the
Company, currently and actively engaged, possess, transmit, copy, reproduce, or
disclose the list of the Company's customers or any part thereof or any of the
Company's present or future trade secrets, or any data processing systems,
computer software, computer programs or other systems, data, methods, or
procedures to any person, firm, corporation, association, or any other entity
for any reason or purpose whatsoever, nor will the undersigned assist anyone
else to do so. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of the
provisions hereof, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining
Employee from disclosing, in whole or in part, the list of the Company's
customers or the Company's trade secrets, or from rendering any services to any
person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity to whom such list or
such trade secrets, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to
be disclosed and requiring the return to the Company of all copies of customer
lists, manuals, data, software, computer programs, or written procedures in the
possession of Employee.

SECTION 7. SEVERABILITY OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. Company and Employee agree
that the restrictive covenants contained in Section 6, are severable and
separate and the unenforceability of any specific covenant therein shall not
affect the validity of any other covenants set forth therein. These covenants on
the part of the Employee shall be construed as an agreement independent of any
other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of
action of the Employee against Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or
otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of
said covenants.

                                       4
<PAGE>

Employee agrees and acknowledges that any violation by Employee of the covenants
set forth in Section 6 hereof would cause irreparable damage to Company, and
Employee further agrees that upon proof of the existence of such a violation of
the covenants set forth in said Section 6 hereof Company will be entitled to
injunctive relief against the Employee by any Court of competent jurisdiction;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the
Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or
threatened breach of any of the above restrictive covenants, including the
recovery of damages from the Employee. No failure of the Company to exercise any
right given under this Agreement shall be taken or construed as a waiver of its
right to seek any remedies by reason of any past, present, or future breaches of
the Agreement on the part of Employee.

SECTION 8. ARBITRATION. The parties agree that any dispute about the validity,
interpretation, effect or alleged violations of this Agreement ("Arbitrable
Dispute") between Employee and Company, must be submitted to final and binding
arbitration in Tampa, Florida before an experienced employment arbitrator
licensed to practice law in Florida and selected in accordance with the
Employment Dispute Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator
may not modify or change this Agreement in any way.

Each party shall pay the fees of their respective attorneys, the expenses of
their witnesses and any other expenses connected with the arbitration, but all
other costs of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitration, cost of
any record or transcript of the arbitration, administrative fees and other fees
and costs shall be paid in equal shares by Employee and Company. The party
losing the arbitration shall reimburse the party who prevailed for all expenses
the prevailing party paid pursuant to the preceding two sentences.

Arbitration in this manner shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable
Dispute. The arbitrator's decision or award shall be fully enforceable and
subject to an entry of judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Should
Employee or Company attempt to resolve an Arbitrable Dispute by any method other
than arbitration pursuant to this Section, the responding party shall be
entitled to recover from the initiating party all damages, expenses and
attorneys' fees incurred as a result and the responding party shall be entitled
to the return of any payments that party made under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a dispute relating to alleged violations of
Section 6 of this Agreement, may be resolved through a means other than
Arbitration.

SECTION 9. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE. This agreement shall be construed according
to the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to choice of law provisions.

SECTION 10. INVALIDITY OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings between Employee and Company and this Agreement
expresses the whole and entire agreement between the parties with reference to
Employee's employment and it cannot be modified or changed by any oral or verbal
promise by whomsoever made, nor shall any written modification of it be binding
on Company until such written modification shall have been approved in writing
by the President of the Company.

SECTION 11. SEVERABILITY. All agreements and covenants contained herein are
severable and, in the event any of them shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable by any competent Court, this contract shall be interpreted as if
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable agreement or covenants were not contained
herein.

SECTION 12. NON-WAIVER OF RIGHTS. All of the rights of Company and Employee
hereunder shall be cumulative and not alternative, but a waiver or indulgence on
the part of Company or Employee of any rights or entitlement hereunder shall not
be construed as a waiver of any other rights or entitlements hereunder by either
Company or Employee. No notice shall be required by Company or Employee to
enforce strict adherence to all the terms of this agreement.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The provisions of this Agreement shall
extend to the successors, surviving corporations and assigns of Company.
Singular and masculine pronouns shall include plural, feminine, and artificial
persons and entities whenever the context permits.

SECTION 14. EMPLOYEE'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Employee certifies that he is over
twenty-one (21) years of age and hereby acknowledges having read the entire
contents of this Agreement before signing his name below and that he has
received a copy hereof for his own use.
