business  and affairs of the Company and to use his  reasonable  best efforts to
perform  faithfully  and  efficiently  the  duties and  responsibilities  of his
positions  and to accomplish  the goals and  objectives of the Company as may be
established  by the Board.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  Executive may
engage in the following activities (and shall be entitled to retain all economic
benefits thereof including fees paid in connection therewith) as long as they do
not interfere in any material  respect with the  performance of the  Executive's
duties and  responsibilities  hereunder and, with respect to subsections (i) and
(ii) below, that such activity is pre-approved by the Company's  Chairman of the

Executives and Officers.

         2. TERM.  The term of this  Agreement  shall  commence on September 12,
2005 (the  "COMMENCEMENT  DATE"), and shall terminate on October 1, 2006, unless
extended or earlier  terminated in accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement
(the "TERMINATION  DATE").  Such term of employment is herein sometimes referred
to as  the  "EMPLOYMENT  TERM".  The  Employment  Term  shall  be  extended  for
successive one-year periods unless either party notifies the other in writing at
least 90 days before the Termination Date, or any anniversary of the Termination
Date,  as the case may be,  that he or it chooses  not to extend the  Employment
Term.

         3.  COMPENSATION.  As compensation for performing the services required
by this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be
compensated as follows:

                  (a) BASE COMPENSATION.  The Company shall pay to the Executive
an  annual  salary  ("BASE   COMPENSATION")  of  TWO  HUNDRED  THOUSAND  DOLLARS
($200,000.00), payable in equal installments pursuant to the Company's customary
payroll procedures in effect for its executive personnel at the time of payment,
but in no event  less  frequently  than  monthly,  subject  to  withholding  for
applicable  federal,  state, and local income and employment  related taxes. The
Executive may be entitled to such increases in Base Compensation with respect to
each calendar year during the term of this Agreement,  as shall be determined by
the Company's Compensation Committee (the "COMMITTEE"), in its sole and absolute
discretion, based on an annual review of the Executive's performance.

                  (b) INCENTIVE COMPENSATION.  In addition to Base Compensation,
the Executive  may be entitled to receive  additional  compensation  ("INCENTIVE
COMPENSATION")  of up to ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS  ($125,000.00)
based upon agreed upon  milestones as set forth in Attachment A. For purposes of
this Agreement,  the Executive's "PRO RATA SHARE" of Incentive  Compensation for
any calendar year of the Company shall be a fraction  whose  numerator  shall be
equal to the number of months during which the  Executive was actually  employed
by the Company during any such calendar year and whose  denominator shall be the
total number of months in such calendar year.

                  (c) STOCK OPTIONS. The Company,  simultaneous with the date of
this  Agreement,  shall grant to the Executive an option to purchase ONE MILLION
SIX  HUNDRED  THOUSAND  (1.6  million)  shares  of Common  Stock of the  Company
pursuant to the Secured Services, Inc. Incentive stock Option Plan. The exercise
price  per  share  shall be the fair  market  value of one  share on the date of
grant.  The option term shall be four years.  Such option shall vest at the rate
of 25%  after  one  year  from  the  Commencement  Date  and  2.08%  each  month
thereafter.

         4. EMPLOYEE  BENEFITS.  During the  Employment  Term and subject to the
limitations  set  forth  in this  Section  4,  the  Executive  and his  eligible
dependents  shall  have  the  right  to  participate  in  any  retirement  plans
(qualified and non-qualified),  pension, insurance,  health, disability or other
benefit plan or program that has been or is hereafter adopted by the Company (or
in which  the

                                       2

<PAGE>

Company participates),  according to the terms of such plan or program, on terms
no less favorable than the most favorable terms granted to senior  executives of
the Company.

         5. VACATION AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE.  The Executive  shall be entitled to
the normal and customary  amount of paid vacation  provided to senior  executive
officers of the Company.  Vacation  days that are not taken in a given  calendar
year shall accrue and be carried over to the next  Calendar year up to a maximum
of ten days. Upon any  termination of this Agreement for any reason  whatsoever,
accrued and unused vacation will be paid to the Executive within 10 days of such
termination  based on his annual rate of Base Compensation in effect on the date
of such termination. In addition, the Executive may be granted leaves of absence
with or without pay for such valid and legitimate  reasons as the Company in its
sole and absolute discretion may determine,  and the Executive shall be entitled
to the same sick leave and holidays  provided to other senior  executives of the
Company.

         6.  BUSINESS  EXPENSES.  The  Executive  shall be  promptly  reimbursed
against  presentation  of vouchers or receipts for all  reasonable and necessary
expenses  incurred  by him in  connection  with the  performance  of his  duties
hereunder.

         7. INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) GENERAL.  The Company agrees that if the Executive is made
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action,  suit or  proceeding,
whether civil,  criminal,  administrative or investigative (a "PROCEEDING"),  by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, is or
was  serving at the  request  of the  Company as a  director,  officer,  member,
employee or agent of another  corporation  or of a  partnership,  joint venture,
trust or other enterprise,  including, without limitation,  service with respect
to  employee  benefit  plans,  whether  or not the basis of such  Proceeding  is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director,  officer, member, employee
or agent while serving as a director,  officer,  member,  employee or agent, the
Executive  shall be indemnified  and held harmless by the Company to the fullest
extent  authorized by applicable  law (in  accordance  with the  certificate  of
incorporation and/or bylaws of the Company), as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended,  against all Expenses (as defined below) incurred or suffered by the
Executive in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to
the Executive  even if the  Executive  has ceased to be an officer,  director or
agent, or is no longer employed by the Company and shall inure to the benefit of
his heirs, executors and administrators.

                  (b) EXPENSES.  As used in this Section 7, the term  "EXPENSES"
shall include,  without limitation,  damages,  losses,  judgments,  liabilities,
fines,  penalties,   excise  taxes,  settlements  and  costs,  attorneys'  fees,
accountants'  fees, and  disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bonds,
investigations,  and any  expenses of  establishing  a right to  indemnification
under this Agreement.

                  (c) SUBROGATION. In the event of payment under this Agreement,
the  Company  shall be  subrogated  to the extent of such  payment to all of the
rights of recovery of the Executive.

                                       3

<PAGE>

                  (d)  PARTIAL  INDEMNIFICATION.  If the  Executive  is entitled
under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some
or a portion of any Expenses,  but not,  however,  for the total amount thereof,
the Company shall  nevertheless  indemnify the Executive for the portion of such
Expenses to which the Executive is entitled.

                  (e) NOTICE OF CLAIM.  The Executive  shall give to the Company
prompt written notice of any claim made against him for which  indemnity will or
could be sought under this Agreement.  In addition, the Executive shall give the
Company such  information  and  cooperation as it may reasonably  require and as
shall be  within  the  Executive's  power and at such  times  and  places as are
mutually convenient for the Executive and the Company.

                  (f) DEFENSE OF CLAIM.  With  respect to any  Proceeding  as to
which the Executive  notifies the Company of the commencement  thereof:  (i) the
Company will be entitled to  participate  therein at its own  expense;  and (ii)
except as otherwise  provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to
assume  the  defense  thereof,  with  counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to  the
Executive.  The  Company  shall not be  entitled  to assume  the  defense of any
action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which
the Executive  shall have  reasonably  concluded that there may be a conflict of
interest  between the Company and the Executive in the conduct of the defense of
such action.

                           The  Company  shall not be liable  to  indemnify  the
Executive  under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action
or claim effected without its written consent.  The Company shall not settle any
action or claim in any manner  which would impose any penalty or  limitation  on
the Executive without Executive's  written consent.  Neither the Company nor the
Executive  shall  unreasonably  withhold or delay their  consent to any proposed
settlement.

                  (g) NON-EXCLUSIVITY. The right to indemnification conferred in
this Section 7 shall not be exclusive of any other right which the Executive may
have or hereafter may acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of
incorporation  or by-laws of the Company,  agreement,  vote of  stockholders  or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

                  (h)  DIRECTORS  AND  OFFICERS  LIABILITY  POLICY.  The Company
agrees to use reasonable  efforts to maintain  directors and officers  liability
insurance  covering the Executive in a reasonable and adequate amount determined
by the Board.

         8.       TERMINATION AND TERMINATION BENEFITS.

                  (a)      TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY.

                           (i)  FOR   CAUSE.   Notwithstanding   any   provision

of the Executive's duties hereunder,

directives of the Board or the authorized representative of the Board so long as
such directives are not inconsistent  with the Executive's  position and duties;
(3) dishonest or fraudulent conduct, your theft or other misappropriation of the
Company's  proprietary  information or property,  a deliberate  attempt to do an
injury to SSVC,  or conduct that  materially  discredits  SSVC or is  materially
detrimental to the reputation of SSVC, including, but not limited to, conviction
of a felony; or (4) habitual  absenteeism,  chronic alcoholism or any other form
of addiction which impacts  Executive's ability to perform his duties under this
Agreement.  Termination  pursuant to this subsection  8(a)(i) shall be effective
immediately upon giving the Executive  written notice thereof stating the reason
or reasons  therefor  with respect to clauses (2), (3) or (4) above,  and thirty
days after written notice  thereof from the Company to the Executive  specifying
the acts or  omissions  constituting  the  failure and  requesting  that they be

pursuant to this subsection 8(a)(i),  the Executive shall be entitled to payment
of his Base Compensation and the benefits pursuant to Section 4 hereof up to the
effective date of such termination and it is also the intention and agreement of
the Company that Executive  shall not be deprived by reason of  termination  for
Cause of any payments,  options or benefits  which have been vested or have been
earned  or to which  Executive  is  entitled  as of the  effective  date of such
termination.

                           (ii)  DISABILITY.  If due  to  illness,  physical  or
mental disability, or other incapacity, the Executive shall fail, for a total of
any  six  consecutive  months  ("DISABILITY"),   to  substantially  perform  the
principal  duties  required by this  Agreement,  the Company may terminate  this
Agreement  upon 30 days' written  notice to the  Executive.  In such event,  the
Executive shall be (1) paid his Base Compensation until the Termination Date and
his Pro Rata  Share of any  Incentive  Compensation  to which he would have been
entitled for the year in which such  termination  occurs,  and (2) provided with
employee  benefits  pursuant  to  Section 4, to the  extent  available,  for the
remainder of the Employment Term; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Base Compensation will
not be paid to the Executive pursuant to this subsection 8(a)(ii) for any period
where the  Executive is receiving  any  payments  from any policy of  disability
insurance pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

                  (b) TERMINATION  WITHOUT CAUSE OR TERMINATION FOR GOOD REASON.
The Company may terminate the Executive's employment hereunder without Cause and
the  Executive  may  terminate  his  employment  hereunder for "Good Reason" (as
defined below). If the Company terminates the Executive's  employment  hereunder
without  Cause,  other  than  due to death or  Disability,  or if the  Executive
terminates his employment for Good Reason,  the Executive shall be paid: (i) his
Base  Compensation at the rate in effect at the time of termination  through the
Termination  Date; (ii) his Base  Compensation at the rate in effect at the time

until the expiration of the Employment  Term, of the health and welfare benefits
of the  Executive  (as  provided  for by  Section 4 of this  Agreement)  (or the
Company shall provide the economic equivalent  thereof);  provided,  however, if
the Executive  obtains new  employment and such  employment  makes the Executive
eligible  for health and  welfare or  long-term  disability  benefits,  then the
Company shall no

                                       5

<PAGE>

longer be required to provide such benefits to the Executive; and (vi) any other
compensation  and benefits as may be provided in  accordance  with the terms and
provisions of any applicable plans or programs of the Company.

                  As used  herein,  "GOOD  REASON"  means and shall be deemed to
exist if, without the prior express  written  consent of the Executive,  (a) any
failure by SSVC to comply with any  provision  of this  Agreement  other than an
isolated,  insubstantial  or inadvertent  failure not occurring in bad faith; or
(b) the assignment to the Executive of any duties  materially  inconsistent with
the Executive's position (including status,  title and reporting  requirements),
authority,  duties or responsibilities or any other action by SSVC which results
in a  diminution  in  such  position,  authority,  duties  or  responsibilities,
excluding for this purpose an isolated,  insubstantial or inadvertent action not
taken in bad faith; or (c) the Company fails to use its commercially  reasonable
efforts to maintain,  or cause to be maintained directors and officers liability
insurance coverage for the Executive;  (d) the Company purports to terminate the
Executive's employment for Cause and such purported termination of employment is
not effected in accordance with the  requirements  of this  Agreement,  or (e) a
Change in Control  shall have  occurred and the Company fails to obtain the full
assumption  of this  Agreement  by a  successor;  provided,  however,  that with
respect to items (a) through (c) above,  the Company has not cured, or commenced
to cure,  such  failure  or  breach  within  30 days of  written  notice  by the
Executive, and with respect to item (e) above, the Executive shall have provided
the Company with 180 days written notice of such termination.

                  For purposes of this  Agreement,  a "CHANGE OF CONTROL"  shall
mean (1) any merger by the Company  into  another  corporation  or  corporations
which  results in the  stockholders  of the  Company  immediately  prior to such
transaction  owning  less  than  55%  of  the  surviving  Corporation;  (2)  any
acquisition (by purchase, lease or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the
assets of the  Company  by any  person,  corporation  or other  entity;  (3) the
acquisition  of  beneficial  ownership,   directly  or  indirectly,   of  voting
securities  of the  Company  (defined  as  Common  Stock of the  Company  or any
securities  having voting rights) and rights to acquire voting securities of the
Company  (defined  as  including,   without  limitation,   securities  that  are
convertible into voting securities of the Company (as defined above) and rights,
options  warrants and other  agreements or  arrangements  to acquire such voting
securities)  by any  person,  corporation  or other  entity,  in such  amount or
amounts as would  permit such  person,  corporation  or other  entity to elect a
majority of the members of the Board of the Company, as then constituted; or (4)
the  acquisition  of beneficial  ownership,  directly or  indirectly,  of voting
securities and rights to acquire voting  securities having voting power equal to
25% or more of the  combined  voting  power of the  Company's  then  outstanding
voting  securities  by any  person,  corporation  or other  entity  unless  such
acquisition as is described in this part (4) is expressly approved by resolution
of the Board of the  Company  passed  upon  affirmative  vote of not less than a
majority  of the Board and adopted at a meeting of the Board held not later than
the date of the next regularly  scheduled or special  meeting held following the
date the Company obtains actual  knowledge of such  acquisition  (which approval
may be limited in purpose and  effected  solely to affect the rights of Employee
under  this  Agreement).   Notwithstanding  the  preceding  sentence,   (i)  any
transaction   that  involves  a  mere  change  in  identity  form  or  place  of
organization within the meaning of Section  368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986,  as  amended,  or a  transaction  of  similar  effect,  shall  not
constitute a Change in Control.

<PAGE>

                  (c) NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. Nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent  or limit the  Executive's  continuing  or future  participation  in any
benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided or maintained by the
Company and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit
or otherwise  prejudice  such rights as the  Executive  may have under any other
existing or future  agreements with the Company.  Except as otherwise  expressly
provided for in this  Agreement,  amounts which are vested benefits or which the
Executive  is otherwise  entitled to receive  under any plans or programs of the
Company  at or  subsequent  to the  date of  termination  shall  be  payable  in
accordance with such plans or programs.

                  (d) VESTING OF STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS. In the event of
any termination of this Agreement,  Executive's  rights with regard to any stock
grants, loan agreements or stock options shall be as set forth in the respective
agreement containing the terms and conditions pertaining thereto. If however the
termination is a result of a change of control as defined in subsection 8(b) AND
also qualifies as "termination  for good reason" as defined in subsection  8(b),
then 100% of the  unvested  stock  options  would vest  effective on the date of
termination.

                  (e)  DEATH.   Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this
Agreement,  this Agreement shall terminate on the date of the Executive's death.
In such event the Company shall continue to pay to his estate the Pro Rata Share
of any Incentive  Compensation  to which  Executive would have been entitled for
the year in which such death occurs.

                  (f)  SEVERANCE   PERIOD.   If  the  Company   terminates   the
Executive's  employment  hereunder  without  Cause,  other  than due to death or
Disability,  or if the Executive  terminates his employment for Good Reason, the
Severance Period shall be six months.

                  (g) NO  MITIGATION.  The  Executive  shall not be  required to
mitigate  the amount of any payments  provided for by this  Agreement by seeking
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided
in this  Agreement  be reduced  by any  compensation  or  benefit  earned by the
Executive after termination of his employment.

         9. COMPANY PROPERTY. All advertising,  promotional,  sales,  suppliers,
manufacturers and other materials or articles or information,  including without
limitation reports, customer lists, customer sales analyses,  invoices,  product

requests  the  return of such  materials  at any time  during or at or after the
termination  of the  Executive's  employment,  the Executive  shall  immediately

                  (c) EMPLOYEES OF THE COMPANY AND ITS  AFFILIATES.  Without the
prior  written  consent  of the  Board,  the  Executive  shall  not,  during the
Restricted Period,  directly or indirectly,  hire or solicit, or cause others to
hire or solicit, for employment by any person,  corporation or entity other than
the Company or any  affiliate or successor  thereof,  any employee of, or person
employed within the two years  preceding the Executive's  hiring or solicitation
of such person by, the Company and its affiliates or successors or encourage any
such employee to leave his or her employment. For this purpose, any person whose
employment has been  terminated  involuntarily  by the Company shall be excluded
from those persons protected by this Section for the benefit of the Company.

                  (d) BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS.  During the Restricted Period, the
Executive  shall  not,  directly  or  indirectly,  request  or  advise a person,
corporation  or entity  that has a  business  relationship  with the  Company to
curtail or cancel such business relationship with the Company.

                  (e)  RIGHTS  AND  REMEDIES  UPON  BREACH.   If  the  Executive
breaches,  or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions contained in
Section 10 of this Agreement (the  "RESTRICTIVE  COVENANTS"),  the Company shall
have the following rights and remedies,  each of which rights and remedies shall
be independent of the others and severally enforceable,  and each of which is in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies  available to the
Company under law or in equity.

                           (i)  SPECIFIC  PERFORMANCE.  The right and  remedy to
have the Restrictive  Covenants  specifically enforced by any court of competent
jurisdiction,  it being  agreed  that any  breach  or  threatened  breach of the
Restrictive  Covenants  would cause  irreparable  injury to the Company and that
money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.

                           (ii) ACCOUNTING.  The right and remedy to require the
Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation,  profits,
monies,  accruals,  increments  or other  benefits  derived or  received  by the
Executive  as the  result of any  action  constituting  a breach of  Restrictive
Covenants.

                  (f) SEVERABILITY OF COVENANTS.  The Executive acknowledges and
agrees that the  Restrictive  Covenants are reasonable and valid in duration and
geographical  scope and in all other respects.  If any court determines that any
of the Restrictive Covenants,  or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable,
the  remainder of the  Restrictive  Covenants  shall not thereby be affected and
shall  be  given  full  effect  without  regard  to the  invalid  portions.  The
provisions  set  forth in this  Section  10 shall be in  addition  to any  other
provisions of the business  conduct and ethics policies  applicable to employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries during the term of Executive's employment.

                  (g) SAVING CLAUSE. If the period of time or the area specified
in subsection (a) above should be adjudged unreasonable in any proceeding,  then
the period of time  shall be reduced by such  number of months or the area shall
be  reduced  by the  elimination  of such  portion  thereof or both so that such
restrictions may be enforced in such area and for such time as is adjudged to be
reasonable.  If the Executive violates any of the restrictions  contained in the
foregoing  subsection (a), the restrictive  period shall not run in favor of the
Executive from the time of the  commencement  of

                                       9

<PAGE>

any such  violation  until  such  time as such  violation  shall be cured by the
Executive to the satisfaction of Company.

         11. EXECUTIVE'S REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES. Executive represents and
warrants that he has the full right and  authority to enter into this  Agreement
and fully  perform  his  obligations  hereunder,  that he is not  subject to any
non-competition  agreement  other  than  with the  Company,  and that his  past,
present and anticipated  future activities have not and will not infringe on the
proprietary rights of others.  Executive further represents and warrants that he
is not obligated under any contract  (including,  but not limited to,  licenses,
covenants  or  commitments  of any nature) or other  agreement or subject to any
judgment,  decree or order of any court or  administrative  agency  which  would
conflict  with his  obligation  to use his best  efforts to  perform  his duties
hereunder or which would conflict with the Company's  business and operations as
presently  conducted  or proposed to be  conducted.  Neither the  execution  nor
delivery of this  Agreement,  nor the carrying on of the  Company's  business as
officer and employee by Executive  will  conflict  with or result in a breach of
the  terms,  conditions  or  provisions  of or  constitute  a default  under any
contract, covenant or instrument to which Executive is currently a party.

         12.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a)  INTEGRATION;  AMENDMENT.  This Agreement  constitutes the
entire  agreement  between  the parties  hereto with  respect to the matters set
forth  herein  and  supersedes  and  renders  of no force and  effect  all prior
understandings  and  agreements  between the parties with respect to the matters
set forth herein.  No amendments or additions to this Agreement shall be binding
unless in writing and signed by both parties.

                  (b)  SEVERABILITY.  If any part of this  Agreement is contrary
to,  prohibited by, or deemed invalid under  applicable law or regulation,  such
provision  shall be  inapplicable  and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary,
prohibited, or invalid, but the remainder of this Agreement shall not be invalid
and shall be given full force and effect so far as possible.

                  (c) WAIVERS.  The failure or delay of any party at any time to
require performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement,  even
if known,  shall not affect the right of such  party to require  performance  of
that provision or to exercise any right,  power,  or remedy  hereunder,  and any
waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of this  Agreement  shall not
be  construed  as a  waiver  of any  continuing  or  succeeding  breach  of such
provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right, power, or
remedy  under  this  Agreement.  No notice to or demand on any party in any case
shall,  of itself,  entitle  such party to other or further  notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.

                  (d) POWER AND AUTHORITY.  The Company  represents and warrants
to the Executive  that it has the requisite  corporate  power to enter into this
Agreement  and  perform  the terms  hereof;  that the  execution,  delivery  and
performance of this Agreement by it has been duly  authorized by all appropriate
corporate  action;  and that this  Agreement  represents  the valid and  legally
binding  obligation of the Company and is  enforceable  against it in accordance
with its terms.

under  this  Agreement  or as a  result  of or in  connection  with  Executive's
employment  (other than  disputes  arising under Section 10) shall be arbitrated

that disputes  arising  under  Section 10 of this  Agreement may be brought in a
court of law or equity without submission to arbitration.

                  (h)  JURISDICTION.  Except as  otherwise  provided for herein,
each of the parties (a) submits to the  exclusive  jurisdiction  of any state or

other  address or addressee as any party  entitled to receive  notice under this
Agreement shall  designate,  from time to time, to others in the manner provided
in this subsection 12(i) for the service of notices.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT (the "AGREEMENT") is made as of the 17th day
of October,  2005, by and among SECURED SERVICES,  INC., a Delaware  corporation
(the  "COMPANY"),  having its principal place of business at 110 William Street,
Suite 1410,  New York, NY 10038,  on the one hand, and John Lund of 1200 Woodlea
Mill Court, VA (the "EXECUTIVE"), on the other.

                               W I T N E S S E T H

         WHEREAS,  the parties  desire by this  Agreement to set forth the terms
and  conditions  of the  employment  relationship  between  the  Company and the
Executive; and

         WHEREAS, the terms of this Agreement have been approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company.

         NOW, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants in this
Agreement, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

         1.  EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES.  The Company hereby employs the Executive on
the terms and  conditions  provided in this  Agreement and  Executive  agrees to
accept such  employment  subject to the terms and conditions of this  Agreement.
Executive  has been  employed as [Vice  President of Finance] on the date hereof
and shall assume the title and duties of Chief Financial  Officer on December 1,
2005.  The  Executive  shall be  responsible  for the overall  management of the
Company's financial operations, shall perform the duties and responsibilities as
are  customary  for an officer of a  corporation  in such  positions,  and shall
perform such other duties and responsibilities as are reasonably determined from
time to  time  by the  Company's  CEO.  The  Executive  shall  report  to and be
supervised by the CEO. The Executive shall be based at the Company's planned new
office in Northern  Virginia or such other place which shall be within a 30 mile
radius thereof that shall constitute the Company's  headquarters and, except for
business travel  incidental to his employment under this Agreement,  the Company
agrees the Executive shall not be required to relocate.  The Executive agrees to
devote  substantially all his attention and time during normal business hours to
the business and affairs of the Company and to use his  reasonable  best efforts
to perform  faithfully and  efficiently the duties and  responsibilities  of his
positions  and to accomplish  the goals and  objectives of the Company as may be
established by the CEO.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may engage
in the  following  activities  (and shall be  entitled  to retain  all  economic
benefits thereof including fees paid in connection therewith) as long as they do
not interfere in any material  respect with the  performance of the  Executive's
duties  and  responsibilities  hereunder  and,  with  respect  to  service  on a
corporate  board pursuant to subsection  (i) or teaching  pursuant to subsection
(ii)  below,  that  such  activity  is  pre-approved  by the CEO,  (i)  serve on
corporate, civic, religious, educational and/or charitable boards or committees,
provided  that the  Executive  shall not serve on any board or  committee of any
corporation  or other  business  which competes with

<PAGE>

the Business (as defined in Section 10(a) below); (ii) deliver lectures, fulfill
speaking engagements or teach on a part-time basis at educational  institutions;
and (iii) make  investments in businesses or enterprises and manage his personal
investments;  provided  that with  respect to such  activities  Executive  shall
comply with any business  conduct and ethics  policy  applicable to employees of
the  Company,  including  but not  limited to the  Company's  Black-Out  Insider
Trading Policy and Amendment for Executives and Officers.

         2. TERM.  The term of this  Agreement  shall  commence on October 17th,
2005 (the "COMMENCEMENT  DATE"), and shall terminate on October 31, 2006, unless
extended or earlier  terminated in accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement
(the "TERMINATION  DATE").  Such term of employment is herein sometimes referred
to as the  "EMPLOYMENT  TERM".  During  the first  three  months of the  initial
"EMPLOYMENT TERM" the Executive will work "part time" spending approximately 50%
of the time on Secured Services responsibilities. During this initial period the
Executive's  compensation  will be prorated  based on the percentage of his time
actually spent on Secured Services  responsibilities.  The Employment Term shall
be extended for  successive  one-year  periods  unless either party notifies the
other  in  writing  at  least  90  days  before  the  Termination  Date,  or any
anniversary of the  Termination  Date, as the case may be, that he or it chooses
not to extend the Employment Term.

         3.  COMPENSATION.  As compensation for performing the services required
by this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be
compensated as follows:

                  (a) BASE COMPENSATION.  The Company shall pay to the Executive
an annual  salary  ("BASE  COMPENSATION")  of ONE  HUNDRED  AND NINETY  THOUSAND
DOLLARS  ($190,000.00),  payable in equal installments pursuant to the Company's
customary payroll  procedures in effect for its executive  personnel at the time
of payment, but in no event less frequently than monthly, subject to withholding
for applicable  federal,  state, and local income and employment  related taxes.
The  Executive  may be  entitled to such  increases  in Base  Compensation  with
respect to each  calendar  year during the term of this  Agreement,  as shall be
determined by the Company's  Compensation  Committee (the  "COMMITTEE"),  in its
sole and  absolute  discretion,  based on an annual  review  of the  Executive's
performance.

                  (b) INCENTIVE COMPENSATION.  In addition to Base Compensation,
the Executive  may be entitled to receive  additional  compensation  ("INCENTIVE
COMPENSATION")  of up to ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS  ($100,000.00)  based upon
agreed  upon  milestones  as set forth in  Attachment  A. For  purposes  of this
Agreement,  the Executive's  "PRO RATA SHARE" of Incentive  Compensation for any
calendar year of the Company shall be a fraction whose  numerator shall be equal
to the number of months during which the Executive was actually  employed by the
Company during any such calendar year and whose  denominator  shall be the total
number of months in such calendar year.

                  (c) STOCK OPTIONS. The Company,  simultaneous with the date of
this Agreement, shall grant to the Executive an option to purchase EIGHT HUNDRED
THOUSAND (800,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Secured
Services,  Inc.  Incentive Stock Option Plan. The exercise price per share shall
be the fair  market  value of one

                                       2

<PAGE>

share on the date of grant.  The  option  term shall be ten years and shall vest
over four years as set forth  herein.  Such option shall vest at the rate of 25%
after  one year from the  Commencement  Date and 2.08%  each  month  thereafter;
PROVIDED,  that in the event of the Executive's termination without Cause or for
Good  Reason  (as such  terms  are  defined  herein)  prior to one year from the
Commencement  Date,  such option shall vest at the rate of 2.08% each month from
the  Commencement  Date. The option shall vest in full upon the  consummation or
effectiveness  of a "Change of  Control" of the Company (as such term is defined
herein).  On the  Executive's  first  anniversary  date,  the Executive  will be
granted  an  option  to  purchase  ONE  HUNDRED  AND  SIXTY  THOUSAND  (160,000)
additional  shares of Common Stock.  The vesting of that option will be the same
as the original grant.

         4. EMPLOYEE  BENEFITS.  During the  Employment  Term and subject to the
limitations  set  forth  in this  Section  4,  the  Executive  and his  eligible
dependents  shall  have  the  right  to  participate  in  any  retirement  plans
(qualified and non-qualified),  pension, insurance,  health, disability or other
benefit plan or program that has been or is hereafter adopted by the Company (or
in which  the  Company  participates),  according  to the  terms of such plan or
program,  on terms no less favorable  than the most  favorable  terms granted to
senior executives of the Company.

         5. VACATION AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE.  The Executive  shall be entitled to
the normal and customary  amount of paid vacation  provided to senior  executive
officers of the Company.  Vacation  days that are not taken in a given  calendar
year shall accrue and be carried over to the next  Calendar year up to a maximum
of ten days. Upon any  termination of this Agreement for any reason  whatsoever,
accrued and unused vacation will be paid to the Executive within 10 days of such
termination  based on his annual rate of Base Compensation in effect on the date
of such termination. In addition, the Executive may be granted leaves of absence
with or without pay for such valid and legitimate  reasons as the Company in its
sole and absolute discretion may determine,  and the Executive shall be entitled
to the same sick leave and holidays  provided to other senior  executives of the
Company.

         6.  BUSINESS  EXPENSES.  The  Executive  shall be  promptly  reimbursed
against  presentation  of vouchers or receipts for all  reasonable and necessary
expenses  incurred  by him in  connection  with the  performance  of his  duties
hereunder.

         7. INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) GENERAL.  The Company agrees that if the Executive is made
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action,  suit or  proceeding,
whether civil,  criminal,  administrative or investigative (a "PROCEEDING"),  by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, is or
was  serving at the  request  of the  Company as a  director,  officer,  member,
employee or agent of another  corporation  or of a  partnership,  joint venture,
trust or other enterprise,  including, without limitation,  service with respect
to  employee  benefit  plans,  whether  or not the basis of such  Proceeding  is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director,  officer, member, employee
or agent while serving as a director,  officer,  member,  employee or agent, the
Executive  shall be indemnified  and held harmless by the Company to the fullest
extent  authorized  by  applicable  law, as the same exists or may  hereafter be
amended,  against all  Expenses (as defined  below)  incurred or suffered by the
Executive in connection therewith,

                                       4

<PAGE>

which  Expenses  shall  be paid as  incurred,  and  such  indemnification  shall
continue as to the Executive  even if the Executive has ceased to be an officer,
director  or agent,  or is no longer  employed by the Company and shall inure to
the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators.

                  (b) EXPENSES.  As used in this Section 7, the term  "EXPENSES"
shall include,  without limitation,  damages,  losses,  judgments,  liabilities,
fines,  penalties,   excise  taxes,  settlements  and  costs,  attorneys'  fees,
accountants'  fees, and  disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bonds,
investigations,  and any  expenses of  establishing  a right to  indemnification
under this Agreement.

                  (c) SUBROGATION. In the event of payment under this Agreement,
the  Company  shall be  subrogated  to the extent of such  payment to all of the
rights of recovery of the Executive.

                  (d)  PARTIAL  INDEMNIFICATION.  If the  Executive  is entitled
under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some
or a portion of any Expenses,  but not,  however,  for the total amount thereof,
the Company shall  nevertheless  indemnify the Executive for the portion of such
Expenses to which the Executive is entitled.

                  (e) NOTICE OF CLAIM.  The Executive  shall give to the Company
prompt written notice of any claim made against him for which  indemnity will or
could be sought under this Agreement.  In addition, the Executive shall give the
Company such  information  and  cooperation as it may reasonably  require and as
shall be  within  the  Executive's  power and at such  times  and  places as are
mutually convenient for the Executive and the Company.

                  (f) DEFENSE OF CLAIM.  With  respect to any  Proceeding  as to
which the Executive  notifies the Company of the commencement  thereof:  (i) the
Company will be entitled to  participate  therein at its own  expense;  and (ii)
except as otherwise  provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to
assume  the  defense  thereof,  with  counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to  the
Executive.  The  Company  shall not be  entitled  to assume  the  defense of any
action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which
the Executive  shall have  reasonably  concluded that there may be a conflict of
interest  between the Company and the Executive in the conduct of the defense of
such action.

                           The  Company  shall not be liable  to  indemnify  the
Executive  under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action
or claim effected without its written  consent,  which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.  The Company  shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which
would impose any penalty or  limitation  on the  Executive  without  Executive's
written  consent.  Neither  the  Company nor the  Executive  shall  unreasonably
withhold or delay their consent to any proposed settlement.

                  (g) NON-EXCLUSIVITY. The right to indemnification conferred in
this Section 7 shall not be exclusive of any other right which the Executive may
have or hereafter may acquire

                                       4

<PAGE>

under any statute,  provision of the certificate of  incorporation or by-laws of
the Company,  agreement,  vote of  stockholders  or  disinterested  directors or
otherwise.

                  (h)  DIRECTORS  AND  OFFICERS  LIABILITY  POLICY.  The Company
agrees to use reasonable  efforts to maintain  directors and officers  liability
insurance  covering the Executive in a reasonable and adequate amount determined
by the Board.

         8.       TERMINATION AND TERMINATION BENEFITS.

                  (a)      TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY.

                           (i)  FOR   CAUSE.   Notwithstanding   any   provision
contained  herein,  the Company may terminate  this Agreement at any time during
the  Employment  Term for  "Cause".  For  purposes of this  subsection  8(a)(i),
"CAUSE" shall mean (1) A willful breach of any of the material obligations under
this  Agreement,  which  breach  shall not have been  remedied by the  Executive
within  thirty  (30) days after  SSVC  shall  have  given  notice to him of such
breach; (2) willful and continued  misconduct or gross negligence in performance
of the  Executive's  duties  hereunder,  including  his refusal to comply in any
material  respect  with the  legal  directives  of the  Board or the  authorized
representative of the Board so long as such directives are not inconsistent with
the Executive's  position and duties,  which breach shall not have been remedied
by the Executive  within thirty (30) days after SSVC shall have given him notice
of such  breach;  (3)  dishonest  or  fraudulent  conduct,  your  theft or other
misappropriation of the Company's proprietary  information or material property,
a  deliberate  attempt  to do an  injury to SSVC,  or  conduct  that  materially
discredits  SSVC  or is  materially  detrimental  to  the  reputation  of  SSVC,
including,  but  not  limited  to,  conviction  of a  felony;  or  (4)  habitual
absenteeism,  chronic alcoholism or any other form of addiction which materially
impacts  Executive's  ability  to  perform  his  duties  under  this  Agreement.
Termination  pursuant to this subsection 8(a)(i) shall be effective  immediately
upon giving the Executive  written notice thereof  stating the reason or reasons
therefor with respect to clauses (3) or (4) above, and thirty days after written
notice  thereof  from  the  Company  to the  Executive  specifying  the  acts or
omissions  constituting  the failure and  requesting  that they be remedied with
respect to clauses (1) and (2) above,  but only if the  Executive  has not cured
such  failure  within  such  thirty day  period.  In the event of a  termination
pursuant to this subsection 8(a)(i),  the Executive shall be entitled to payment
of his Base Compensation and the benefits pursuant to Section 4 hereof up to the
effective date of such termination and it is also the intention and agreement of
the Company that Executive  shall not be deprived by reason of  termination  for
Cause of any payments,  options or benefits  which have been vested or have been
earned  or to which  Executive  is  entitled  as of the  effective  date of such
termination.

                           (ii)  DISABILITY.  If due  to  illness,  physical  or
mental disability, or other incapacity, the Executive shall fail, for a total of
any  six  consecutive  months  ("DISABILITY"),   to  substantially  perform  the
principal  duties  required by this  Agreement,  the Company may terminate  this
Agreement  upon 30 days' written  notice to the  Executive.  In such event,  the
Executive shall be (1) paid his Base Compensation until the Termination Date and
his Pro Rata  Share of any  Incentive  Compensation  to which he would have been
entitled for the year in which such  termination  occurs,  and (2) provided with
employee  benefits  pursuant  to  Section 4, to the

                                       5

<PAGE>

extent available,  for the remainder of the Employment Term; PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,
that  Base  Compensation  will  not be paid to the  Executive  pursuant  to this
subsection 8(a)(ii) for any period where the Executive is receiving any payments
from any policy of disability insurance pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

                  (b) TERMINATION  WITHOUT CAUSE OR TERMINATION FOR GOOD REASON.
The Company may terminate the Executive's employment hereunder without Cause and
the  Executive  may  terminate  his  employment  hereunder for "Good Reason" (as
defined below). If the Company terminates the Executive's  employment  hereunder
without  Cause,  other  than  due to death or  Disability,  or if the  Executive
terminates his employment for Good Reason,  the Executive shall be paid: (i) his
Base  Compensation at the rate in effect at the time of termination  through the
Termination  Date; (ii) his Base  Compensation at the rate in effect at the time
of termination  from the Termination Date to the end of the Severance Period (as
hereinafter defined), payable in (A) one lump sum on the Termination Date if the
Severance  Period is six (6) months or less or (B) in two lump sums,  each equal
to one-half of such aggregate amount,  the first payable on the Termination Date
and the second on the date which is one day after the six month  anniversary  of
the Termination Date; (iii) his Pro Rata Share of any Incentive  Compensation to
which he would have been entitled for the year in which such termination occurs,
payable  on the  later of (A) the  date  which is one day  after  the six  month
anniversary of the Termination  Date or (B) the date on which such payment would
ordinarily  be  paid;  (iv)  any  deferred  compensation   (including,   without
limitation,  interest or other credits on the deferred  amounts) and any accrued
vacation pay; (v) continuation  until the expiration of the Severance Period, of
the health and welfare  benefits of the  Executive (as provided for by Section 4
of this  Agreement)  (or the  Company  shall  provide  the  economic  equivalent
thereof);  provided,  however,  if the Executive obtains new employment and such
employment  makes the  Executive  eligible  for health and welfare or  long-term
disability benefits  substantially  equivalent to those provided by the Company,
then the Company  shall no longer be required  to provide  such  benefits to the
Executive;  and (vi) any other  compensation  and benefits as may be provided in
accordance with the terms and provisions of any applicable  plans or programs of
the Company.

                  As used  herein,  "GOOD  REASON"  means and shall be deemed to
exist if, without the prior express  written  consent of the Executive,  (a) any
failure by SSVC to comply with any  provision  of this  Agreement  other than an
isolated,  insubstantial  or inadvertent  failure not occurring in bad faith; or
(b) the assignment to the Executive of any duties  materially  inconsistent with
the Executive's position (including status,  title and reporting  requirements),
authority,  duties or responsibilities or any other action by SSVC which results
in a  diminution  in  such  position,  authority,  duties  or  responsibilities,
excluding for this purpose an isolated,  insubstantial or inadvertent action not
taken in bad faith;  (c) the Company  fails to use its  commercially  reasonable
efforts to maintain,  or cause to be maintained directors and officers liability
insurance coverage for the Executive;  (d) the Company purports to terminate the
Executive's employment for Cause and such purported termination of employment is
not effected in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; (e) a Change
of  Control  shall  have  occurred  and the  Company  fails to  obtain  the full
assumption of this Agreement by a successor;  (f) a reduction in the Executive's
Base Salary;  or (g) the relocation of Executive's place of employment more than
30 miles from the Company's planned new office in Northern  Virginia;  provided,
however,  that with  respect to items (a) through  (c),  (e) and (f) above,  the

                                       6

<PAGE>

Company has not cured,  or commenced to cure,  such failure or breach  within 30
days of written notice by the Executive, and with respect to item (e) above, the
Executive  shall have  provided the Company with 30 days written  notice of such
termination.

                  For purposes of this  Agreement,  a "CHANGE OF CONTROL"  shall
mean  (1)  any  merger  by the  Company  with  or into  another  corporation  or
corporations which results in the stockholders of the Company  immediately prior
to such transaction owning less than 55% of the surviving  Corporation;  (2) any
acquisition (by purchase, lease or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the
assets of the  Company  by any  person,  corporation  or other  entity;  (3) the
acquisition  of  beneficial  ownership,   directly  or  indirectly,   of  voting
securities  of the  Company  (defined  as  Common  Stock of the  Company  or any
securities  having voting rights) and rights to acquire voting securities of the
Company  (defined  as  including,   without  limitation,   securities  that  are
convertible into voting securities of the Company (as defined above) and rights,
options  warrants and other  agreements or  arrangements  to acquire such voting
securities)  by any  person,  corporation  or other  entity,  in such  amount or
amounts as would  permit such  person,  corporation  or other  entity to elect a
majority of the members of the Board of the Company, as then constituted; or (4)
the  acquisition  of beneficial  ownership,  directly or  indirectly,  of voting
securities and rights to acquire voting  securities having voting power equal to
25% or more of the  combined  voting  power of the  Company's  then  outstanding
voting  securities  by any  person,  corporation  or other  entity  unless  such
acquisition as is described in this part (4) is expressly approved by resolution
of the Board of the  Company  passed  upon  affirmative  vote of not less than a
majority  of the Board and adopted at a meeting of the Board held not later than
the date of the next regularly  scheduled or special  meeting held following the
date the Company obtains actual  knowledge of such  acquisition  (which approval
may be limited in purpose and  effected  solely to affect the rights of Employee
under  this  Agreement).   Notwithstanding  the  preceding  sentence,   (i)  any
transaction   that  involves  a  mere  change  in  identity  form  or  place  of
organization within the meaning of Section  368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986,  as  amended,  or a  transaction  of  similar  effect,  shall  not
constitute a Change in Control.

                  (c) NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. Nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent  or limit the  Executive's  continuing  or future  participation  in any
benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided or maintained by the
Company and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit
or otherwise  prejudice  such rights as the  Executive  may have under any other
existing or future  agreements with the Company.  Except as otherwise  expressly
provided for in this  Agreement,  amounts which are vested benefits or which the
Executive  is otherwise  entitled to receive  under any plans or programs of the
Company  at or  subsequent  to the  date of  termination  shall  be  payable  in
accordance with such plans or programs.

                  (d) VESTING OF STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS. In the event of
any termination of this Agreement,  Executive's  rights with regard to any stock
grants, loan agreements or stock options shall be as set forth in the respective
agreement  containing  the terms and conditions  pertaining  thereto and Section
3(c) of this Agreement.

                  (e)  DEATH.   Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this
Agreement,  this Agreement shall terminate on the date of the Executive's death.
In such event the Company

                                       7

<PAGE>

shall  continue  to pay to his  estate  the  Pro  Rata  Share  of any  Incentive
Compensation  to which  Executive would have been entitled for the year in which
such death occurs.

                  (f)  SEVERANCE   PERIOD.   If  the  Company   terminates   the
Executive's  employment  hereunder  without  Cause,  other  than due to death or
Disability,  or if the Executive  terminates his employment for Good Reason, the
Severance  Period  shall be as follows:  (i) three (3) months,  effective on the
date hereof,  (ii) six (6) months,  effective on April 1, 2006, and (iii) twelve
(12)  months,  effective  upon the  receipt  by the  Company of not less than an
aggregate of $7 million in net proceeds from the sale of its securities.

                  (g) NO  MITIGATION.  The  Executive  shall not be  required to
mitigate  the amount of any payments  provided for by this  Agreement by seeking
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided
in this  Agreement  be reduced  by any  compensation  or  benefit  earned by the
Executive after termination of his employment.

                  (h)  AJCA.   Notwithstanding   any  other  provision  of  this
Agreement,  if any  payment  that  would  otherwise  be  made  pursuant  to this
Agreement  would not comply with the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code), or the regulations  promulgated  thereunder,
because the payment is made to a "key employee" (as  determined  under that Act)
before the date that is six months after the date of the  Employee's  separation
from service, such payment shall be made in accordance with the Act.

         9. COMPANY PROPERTY. All advertising,  promotional,  sales,  suppliers,
manufacturers and other materials or articles or information,  including without
limitation reports, customer lists, customer sales analyses,  invoices,  product

any kind furnished to the Executive by the Company or developed by the Executive
on behalf of the Company or at the Company's  direction or for the Company's use
or otherwise in connection with the Executive's  employment  hereunder,  are and
shall remain the sole and confidential  property of the Company;  if the Company
requests  the  return of such  materials  at any time  during or at or after the
termination  of the  Executive's  employment,  the Executive  shall  immediately
deliver the same to the Company.

         10.      RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

                   (a) COVENANTS AGAINST COMPETITION. The Executive acknowledges

employed  within  the  six  months  preceding  the  Executive's  termination  of
employment or encourage any such  employee to leave his or her  employment.  For
this purpose,  any person

breaches,  or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions contained in
Section 10 of this Agreement (the  "RESTRICTIVE  COVENANTS"),  the Company shall
have the following rights and remedies,  each of which rights and remedies shall
be independent of the others and severally enforceable,  and each of which is in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies  available to the
Company under law or in equity.

                           (i)  SPECIFIC  PERFORMANCE.  The right and  remedy to
have the Restrictive Covenants

specifically  enforced by any court of competent  jurisdiction,  it being agreed
that any breach or threatened  breach of the  Restrictive  Covenants would cause
irreparable  injury to the Company and that money  damages  would not provide an
adequate remedy to the Company.

                           (ii) ACCOUNTING.  The right and remedy to require the
Executive to account for and

pay over to the Company all compensation,  profits, monies, accruals, increments
or other  benefits  derived or  received by the  Executive  as the result of any
action constituting a breach of Restrictive Covenants.

                  (f) SEVERABILITY OF COVENANTS.  The Executive acknowledges and
agrees that the  Restrictive  Covenants are reasonable and valid in duration and
geographical  scope and in all other respects.  If any court determines that any
of the Restrictive Covenants,  or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable,
the  remainder of the  Restrictive  Covenants  shall not thereby be affected and
shall  be  given  full  effect  without  regard  to the  invalid  portions.  The
provisions  set  forth in this  Section  10 shall be in  addition  to any  other
provisions of the business  conduct and ethics policies  applicable to employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries during the term of Executive's employment.

                  (g) SAVING CLAUSE. If the period of time or the area specified
in subsection (a) above should be adjudged unreasonable in any proceeding,  then
the period of time  shall be reduced by such  number of months or the area shall
be  reduced  by the  elimination  of such  portion  thereof or both so that such
restrictions may be enforced in such area and for such time as is adjudged to be
reasonable.  If the Executive violates any of the restrictions  contained in the
foregoing  subsection (a), the restrictive  period shall not run in favor of the
Executive from the time of the  commencement  of any such  violation  until such
time as such violation  shall be cured by the Executive to the  satisfaction  of
Company.

         11. EXECUTIVE'S REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES. Executive represents and
warrants that he has the full right and  authority to enter into this  Agreement
and fully  perform  his  obligations  hereunder,  that he is not  subject to any
non-competition  agreement  other  than  with

                                       10

the Company,  and that his past,  present and anticipated future activities have
not and will not infringe on the proprietary rights of others. Executive further
represents and warrants that he is not obligated under any contract  (including,
but not limited to,  licenses,  covenants or commitments of any nature) or other
agreement  or  subject  to  any  judgment,  decree  or  order  of any  court  or
administrative  agency which would  conflict with his obligation to use his best
efforts to  perform  his  duties  hereunder  or which  would  conflict  with the
Company's  business  and  operations  as  presently  conducted or proposed to be
conducted.  Neither  the  execution  nor  delivery  of this  Agreement,  nor the
carrying on of the Company's  business as officer and employee by Executive will
conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of or
constitute  a default  under  any  contract,  covenant  or  instrument  to which
Executive is currently a party.

         12.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a)  INTEGRATION;  AMENDMENT.  This Agreement  constitutes the
entire  agreement  between  the parties  hereto with  respect to the matters set
forth  herein  and  supersedes  and  renders  of no force and  effect  all prior
understandings  and  agreements  between the parties with respect to the matters
set forth herein.  No amendments or additions to this Agreement shall be binding
unless in writing and signed by both parties.

                  (b)  SEVERABILITY.  If any part of this  Agreement is contrary
to,  prohibited by, or deemed invalid under  applicable law or regulation,  such
provision  shall be  inapplicable  and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary,
prohibited, or invalid, but the remainder of this Agreement shall not be invalid
and shall be given full force and effect so far as possible.

                  (c) WAIVERS.  The failure or delay of any party at any time to
require performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement,  even
if known,  shall not affect the right of such  party to require  performance  of
that provision or to exercise any right,  power,  or remedy  hereunder,  and any
waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of this  Agreement  shall not
be  construed  as a  waiver  of any  continuing  or  succeeding  breach  of such
provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right, power, or
remedy  under  this  Agreement.  No notice to or demand on any party in any case
shall,  of itself,  entitle  such party to other or further  notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.

                  (d) POWER AND AUTHORITY.  The Company  represents and warrants
to the Executive  that it has the requisite  corporate  power to enter into this
Agreement  and  perform  the terms  hereof;  that the  execution,  delivery  and
performance of this Agreement by it has been duly  authorized by all appropriate
corporate  action;  and that this  Agreement  represents  the valid and  legally
binding  obligation of the Company and is  enforceable  against it in accordance
with its terms.

                  (e) BURDEN AND  BENEFIT;  SURVIVAL.  This  Agreement  shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, executors, personal and legal representatives, successors and assigns.

                  (f)  GOVERNING   LAW;   HEADINGS.   This   Agreement  and  its
construction,   performance,  and  enforceability  shall  be  governed  by,  and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Headings
and titles herein are included solely for  convenience and shall not affect,  or
be used in connection with, the interpretation of this Agreement.

                  (g) ARBITRATION;  REMEDIES. Any dispute or controversy arising
under  this  Agreement  or as a  result  of or in  connection  with  Executive's
employment  (other than  disputes  arising under Section 10) shall be arbitrated
and settled  pursuant to the National  Rules for the  Resolution  of  Employment
Disputes of the American  Arbitration  Association which are then in effect in a
proceeding  held in Alexandria,  VA. This provision  shall also apply to any and
all claims that may be brought under any federal or state anti-discrimination or
employment statute,  rule or regulation,  including,  but not limited to, claims
under:  the National  Labor  Relations  Act;  Title VII of the Civil Rights Act;
Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United  States Code;  the Employee
Retirement  Income  Security  Act; the  Immigration  Reform and Control Act; the
Americans With Disabilities  Act; the Age  Discrimination in Employment Act; the
Fair Labor Standards Act; the Occupational Safety and Health Act; the Family and
Medical  Leave Act; and the Equal Pay Act. The  decision of the  arbitrator  and
award,  if any,  is final and binding on the  parties  and the  judgment  may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties will agree upon an
arbitrator  from  the  list  of  labor  arbitrators  supplied  by  the  American
Arbitration  Association.  The  parties  understand  and  agree,  however,  that
disputes arising under Section 10 of this Agreement may be brought in a court of
law or equity without submission to arbitration.

                  (h)  JURISDICTION.  Except as  otherwise  provided for herein,
each of the parties (a) submits to the  exclusive  jurisdiction  of any state or
federal court sitting in Alexandria,  VA in any action or proceeding arising out
of or relating to this  Agreement,  (b) agrees that all claims in respect of the
action or proceeding may be heard and  determined in any such court,  (c) agrees
not to bring  any  action  or  proceeding  arising  out of or  relating  to this
Agreement  in any other  court and (d) waives any right such party may have to a
trial by jury  with  respect  to any  action  or  proceeding  arising  out of or
relating  to  this  Agreement.  Each  of  the  parties  waives  any  defense  of
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and
waives any bond,  surety or other  security  that might be required of any other
party with  respect  thereto.  Any party may make  service  on another  party by
sending  or  delivering  a copy of the  process to the party to be served at the
address  and in the manner  provided  for  giving of  notices in Section  12(i).
Nothing in this Section,  however,  shall affect the right of any party to serve
legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

                  (i) NOTICES. All notices called for under this Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt if delivered  personally or
by confirmed facsimile  transmission and followed promptly by mail, or mailed by
registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, to the
parties at their  respective  addresses (or at such other address for a party as
shall be specified by like notice;  provided that notices of a change of address
shall be effective  only upon  receipt  thereof) as set forth in the preamble to
this  Agreement or to any other  address or  addressee as any party  entitled to
receive  notice under this

                                       12

<PAGE>

Agreement shall  designate,  from time to time, to others in the manner provided
in this subsection 12(i) for the service of notices.

                           Any notice  delivered  to the party hereto to whom it
is  addressed  shall be deemed to have been given and received on the day it was
received;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that if such day is not a business  day then the
notice  shall be deemed to have been given and received on the business day next
following such day. Any notice sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to
have been given and  received  on the  business  day next  following  the day of
transmission.

                  (j)  NUMBER  OF DAYS.  In  computing  the  number  of days for
purposes  of this  Agreement,  all days shall be counted,  including  Saturdays,
Sundays  and  holidays;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that if the  final day of any time
period falls on a Saturday,  Sunday or holiday on which federal banks are or may
elect to be closed,  then the final day shall be deemed to be the next day which
is not a Saturday, Sunday or such holiday.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of
the date first above written.
