(a) The Consultant shall, from time to time as the Company may request, advise

(b) The Consultant shall devote such time to this engagement as is reasonably
necessary, but the Consultant need not devote his full time or attention to the
engagement. The Company recognizes that the Consultant has numerous clients and
engagements, and that this engagement is not exclusive.

(c) The services need not be rendered at the Company's offices and may be
rendered by telephonic communication; provided, however, that upon the Company's
request and reasonable notice, the Consultant will attend meetings of the

                                       1

Company's board of directors and executive officers for the purpose of advising
and consulting with them with respect to matters within the scope of this
engagement.

(d) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the services
rendered by the Consultant under this Agreement shall not include any services
in connection with the offer or sale of securities and will not directly or
indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities.

4. The Consultant's Fees and Expenses.

4.1. The Company shall pay the Consultant as a fee for his services under this
Agreement (the "Consulting Fee") the following securities pursuant to the
Company's 2003 Stock Compensation Plan, which shall be deemed to be fully earned
upon execution of this Agreement:

        (a) Warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of the Common Stock, $.001 par
            value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") at $.001 per
            share;
        (b) warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at $.20 per share;

Agreement shall include the Consultant's costs and expenses incurred in the
performance of this Agreement, including travel, lodging, meals and legal fees.

5. Confidential Information.

5.1. The parties hereto recognize that a major need of the Company is to
preserve its specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information.
The strength and good will of the Company is derived from the specialized
knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information generated from experience
with the activities undertaken by the Company and its subsidiaries. The
disclosure of this information and knowledge to competitors would be beneficial
to them and detrimental to the Company, as would the disclosure of information
about the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design
specifications, analytical techniques, and similar items of the Company and its
subsidiaries. By reason of his being a Consultant to the Company, Consultant has
or will have access to, and will obtain, specialized knowledge, trade secrets
and confidential information about the Company's operations and the operations
of its subsidiaries, which operations extend through the United States.
Therefore, Consultant recognizes that the Company is relying on these agreements
in entering into this Agreement.

                                       2

5.2 During and after the Term, Consultant will not use, disclose to others, or
publish any inventions or any confidential business information about the
affairs of the Company, including but not limited to confidential information
concerning the Company's products, methods, engineering designs and standards,
analytical techniques, technical information, customer information, employee
information, and other confidential information acquired by him in the course of
his past or future services for the Company. Consultant agrees to hold as the
Company's property all memoranda, books, papers, letters, formulas and other
data, and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way relating to the Company's
business and affairs, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his
possession, and on termination of his employment, or on demand of the Company,
at any time, to deliver the same to the Company within twenty four hours of such
termination or demand.

5.3 During the Term Consultant will not induce any employee of the Company to
leave the Company's employ or hire any such employee (unless the Board of
Directors of the Company shall have authorized such employment and the Company
shall have consented thereto in writing).

6. Arbitration of Disputes, Litigation Expenses.

6.1. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any acts or
omissions of either party hereto or any of the Company's officers, directors,
agents, affiliates, associates, employees or controlling persons shall be
settled by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act in accordance
with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association
("AAA") and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In such arbitration proceedings, the
parties shall be entitled to any and all remedies that would be available in the
absence of this Section and the arbitrators, in rendering their decision, shall
follow the substantive laws that would otherwise be applicable. The parties
acknowledge that the subject matter of this Agreement is of unique value to
Consultant and agree that Consultant shall have the right to specific
enforcement of this Agreement. The arbitration of any dispute pursuant to this
Section shall be held in Houston, Texas. Notwithstanding the foregoing in order
to preserve the status quo pending the resolution by arbitration of a claim
seeking relief of an injunctive or equitable nature, any party, upon submitting
a matter to arbitration as required by this Section, may simultaneously or
thereafter seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction from a
court of competent jurisdiction pending the outcome of the arbitration.

6.2. In the event of any litigation or other proceeding between the Company and
the Consultant with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the
enforcement of the rights hereunder, the losing party shall reimburse the
prevailing party for all of his/its reasonable costs and expenses, as well as
any forum fees, relating to such litigation or other proceeding, including,
without limitation, his/its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, provided
that such litigation or proceeding results in a (a) final settlement requiring
payment to the prevailing party; or (b) final judgment.

                                       3

7. Miscellaneous.

7.1. Relationship. The relationship between the Company and the Consultant
created by this Agreement is that of independent contractors. Consultant
understands and agrees that (i) Consultant will not be treated as an employee of
the Company for federal tax purposes; (ii) Company will not withhold on behalf
of Consultant pursuant to this Agreement any sums for income tax, unemployment
insurance, social security, or any other withholding pursuant to any law or
requirement of any governmental body relating to Consultant; (iii) all of such
payments, withholdings, and benefits, if any, are the sole responsibility of
Consultant; and (iv) Consultant will indemnify and hold Company harmless from
any and all loss or liability arising with respect to such payments,
withholdings, and benefits, if any. In the event the Internal Revenue Service or
any other governmental agency should question or challenge the independent
contractor status of Consultant, the parties agree that Consultant and Company
shall have the right to participate in any discussion or negotiation occurring
with such agency or agencies, irrespective of who initiates the discussion or
negotiations. The services to be rendered by the Consultant pursuant to this
Agreement do not include the services or activities of an "investment adviser,"
as that term is defined by U.S. federal or state laws and, in performing
services under this Agreement, the Consultant shall not be deemed to be an
investment adviser under such laws.

7.2. Indemnity. The Company hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the
Consultant, and his employees, agents, partners and affiliates harmless from and
against any and all claims, damages, judgments, penalties, costs, and expenses
(including attorney fees and court costs now or hereafter arising from the
enforcement of this clause) arising directly or indirectly from the activities
of the Consultant or any of his employees, agents, partners or affiliates under
this Agreement, or from the activities of the Company or any of its
shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, partners or affiliates,
whether such claims are asserted by any governmental agency or any other person.
This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement.

7.3. Advertisement. The Company agrees that the Consultant has the right to
place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and journals at his own
expense describing his services to the Company.

7.4. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be
given shall be in writing and shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt
requested (or by the most nearly comparable method if mailed from or to a
location outside of the United States), or delivered against receipt to the
party to whom it is to be given at the address of such party set forth in the
preamble to this Agreement (or to such other address as the party shall have
furnished in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section). Any
notice given to any corporate party shall be addressed to the attention of the
Corporation Secretary. Any notice of other communication given by certified mail
(or by such comparable method) shall be deemed given at the time of
certification thereof (or comparable act), except for a notice changing a
party's address which will be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof.

7.5. Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the parties under Sections 6,
7.1 and 7.2 of this Agreement shall survive the termination for any reason of

                                       4

this Agreement (whether such termination is by the Company, by the Consultant,
upon the expiration of this Agreement or otherwise).

7.6. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions or part of the
provision contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall be deemed not to affect any
other jurisdiction or any other provision or part of a provision of this
Agreement, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in such
jurisdiction as if such provision or part of a provision held to be invalid or
illegal or unenforceable had never been contained herein and such provision or
part reformed so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable in such
jurisdiction to the maximum extent possible. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Company and Consultant each intend that the
covenants contained in Section 5 shall be deemed to be a series of separate
covenants, one for each and every other state, territory or jurisdiction of the
United States and any foreign country set forth therein. If, in any judicial
proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of such separate covenants, then
such covenants shall be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof for the
purpose of such proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining
separate covenants to be enforced in such proceedings. If, in any judicial
proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any one or more of such separate
covenants because the total time thereof is deemed to be excessive or
unreasonable, then it is the intent of the parties hereto that such covenants,
which would otherwise be unenforceable due to such excessive or unreasonable
period of time, be enforced for such lesser period of time as shall be deemed
reasonable and not excessive by such court.

7.7. Entire Agreement, Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the Company and the Consultant with respect to the subject matter
thereof. Consultant acknowledges that he neither holds any right, warrant or
option to acquire securities of the company, nor has the right to any such
rights, warrants or options, except pursuant to this Agreement. This Agreement
may not be amended, waived, changed, modified or discharged except by an
instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom any
amendment, waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

7.8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The courts of the State of
New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction for any action arising out of or
related to this Agreement.

7.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which will be deemed an original and together will constitute one and
the same Agreement, with one counterpart being delivered to each party hereto
and the original being may a part of the corporate records.

                                   SCHEDULE A

        This Schedule A is a part of the Consulting Agreement (the "Agreement")
dated March 31, 2003 between Surgical Safety Products, Inc. (the "Company") and
Resource Capital Management, Inc. (the "Consultants"). Unless otherwise noted,
all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Agreement.

        Since the Consultants will be acting on behalf of the Company in connection
with the transaction contemplated by the Agreement, and as part of the
consideration for the Agreement of the Consultants to furnish their services
pursuant to such Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Consultants, and other persons controlling the Consultants, or any of their
respective affiliates within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities
Act of 1933 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the
respective agents, employees, officers, directors, partners, counsel and
shareholders of such persons (the Consultants and each such other person or
entity being referred to as an "Indemnified Person") to the fullest extent
lawful, from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses
(or actions taken in respect thereof) related to or arising out of (i) actions
taken or omitted to be taken by the Company, their affiliates, employees or
agents (other than an Indemnified Person), (ii) actions taken or omitted to be
taken by an Indemnified Person (including acts or omissions constituting
ordinary negligence) pursuant to the terms of, or in connection with services
rendered pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of, the Agreement or any
transaction or proposed transaction contemplated thereby or any Indemnified
Person's role in connection therewith, provided, however, that the Company shall
not be responsible for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to
the extent that it is finally judicially determined that they result primarily
from actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnified Person which
constitute willful misconduct or to be due to such Indemnified Person's gross
negligence, and (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Information or arising out of or based upon any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be state therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except that the
indemnity obligations arising hereunder in respect of losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses asserted by any purchaser and related to or arising out
of alleged omissions or misstatements of material facts tin the Information
shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person to the extent that the
Company shall have requested the Consultants to deliver, and the Consultants
shall have failed to deliver, to such purchaser an amendment or supplement to
the Information prepared by the Company and provided to the Consultants not less
than one (1) full business day prior to the sale to such purchase, if the untrue
statement of a material fact from such Information was correct in such amendment
or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding any of the indemnification or
contribution provisions contained herein, the Company shall not be required to
make reimbursement or payment of any settlement, or any expenses or cost
incurred in connection therewith, effect without the Company's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        Each Indemnified Person shall give prompt written notice to the Company
after the receipt by such Indemnified Person of any written notice of the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding for which such Indemnified Person
will claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement. The
Company shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice from such

                              Schedule A - Page 1

Indemnified Person within 20 business days after the receipt of written notice
from such Indemnified Person of such commencement, to assume, at their expense,
the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ counsel in any such action,
suit or proceeding, and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person
unless: (i) the Company fails to assume the defense of such action, suit or
proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person in any such action, suit or proceeding; or (ii) the Company
and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that there may be
one or more defenses available to such Indemnified Person which are different
from or additional to those available to the Company or another Indemnified
Person, as the case may be (in which case, if such Indemnified Person notifies
the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense
of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of
such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Person); it being
understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such
action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or
proceeding arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at
any time acting for all Indemnified Persons in any one jurisdiction.

        If for any reason (other than the willful misconduct or gross negligence of
an Indemnified Person as provided above) the foregoing indemnity is unavailable
to an Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless,
then the Company, to the extent permitted by law, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such claims,
liabilities losses, damages or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the
Consultants on the other, from the transaction or proposed transaction under the
Agreement or, if allocation on that basis is not permitted under applicable law,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
received by the Company, on the one hand and by the Consultants on the other,
but also the relative fault of the Company and the Consultants, as well as any
relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions, the aggregate
contribution of all Indemnified Persons to all claims, liabilities, losses,
damages and expenses shall not exceed the amount of fees actually received by
the Consultants pursuant to the Agreement. It is hereby further agreed that the
relative benefits to the Company on the one hand and the Consultants on the
other with respect to any transaction or proposed transaction contemplated by
the Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the gross
proceeds of the transaction bears to (ii) the fees paid to the Consultants with
respect to such transaction.

        The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Consultants on
the other with respect to the transaction shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
Information supplied by the Company or by the Consultants, and the parties
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. No Indemnified Person shall have any
liability to the Company or any other officer, director, employee or affiliate
thereof in connection with the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement
except for any liability for claims, liabilities, losses or damages finally
judicially determined to have resulted primarily from actions taken or omitted

                              Schedule A - Page 2

to be taken by such Indemnified Person (constituting willful misconduct) or as a
result of gross negligence and except for breeches or violations by the
Consultants of its obligations under the Agreement. The Indemnity, contribution
and expense reimbursement obligations set forth herein (i) shall be in addition
to any liability the Company may have to any Indemnified Person at common law or
otherwise, (ii) shall apply to any modification of the Consultants' engagement
and shall remain in full force and effect following the completion or
termination of the Agreement, (iii) shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Consultants
or any other Indemnified Person and (iv) shall be binding on any successor or
assign of the Company and successors or assigns to all or substantially all of
the Company's business and assets.

        In addition, the Company agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for
all expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) as they are incurred by
such Indemnified Person (upon receipt by the Company from such Indemnified
Person of any undertaking by such Indemnified Person promptly to repay to the
Company any such reimbursement upon a final judicial determination that such
Indemnified Person is not entitled to Indemnification pursuant to the proceeding
paragraphs) in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such
action or claim, whether or not in connection with litigation in which any
Indemnified Person is a named party.
