                written notice to the other party.

        3.03    Termination may be by agreement, on 30 days' written notice
                pursuant to Provision 3.02 above, or on the breach of this
                Agreement by Employee. The breach of this Agreement includes,
                but is not limited to, a violation of Employer's rules or

                    without prejudice to any other remedy to which Employer may
                    be entitled either at law or in equity or under this
                    Agreement, and shall follow the notice for a termination as
                    outlined in  provision 3.02.

                (b) Employer may also have the right to declare this Agreement
                    void and terminate the employment contract in the event that

                    adjudicated bankrupt, has a receiver appointed of his
                    assets, or makes a general assignment of his assets for the

        3.04    If Employee becomes permanently disabled because of sickness, or
                physical or mental disability, or for any other reason, so that
                it reasonably appears that he will be unable to perform his
                duties under this Agreement, Employer shall have the option to
                terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written notice of
                the termination to Employee as outlined in provision 3.02. The
                termination shall be without prejudice to any other right or
                remedy to which Employer may be entitled either in law or in
                equity or under this Agreement.

        3.05    Effect of Termination on Compensation. In the event of
                termination of this Agreement prior to the completion of the
                term of employment specified herein, Employee shall be entitled
                to the compensation earned prior to the date of termination as
                provided for in the compensation section of this agreement.

        3.06    In the event of termination of this Agreement prior to the
                completion of the specified term, Employee shall automatically
                and completely forever forfeit any rights employee may have in
                any bonus, incentive plan or Employer benefit or pension plan,
                if any, established by Employer. Furthermore; Employee will
                forfeit any right or title to commissions on sales that may have
                been instituted by Employee but have not been completed and
                approved prior to the termination of this Agreement.

        3.07    Damages for Breach of Contract. In the event of a breach of this
                Agreement by Employee, Employer may recover from Employee any
                and all damages that Employer may sustain as a result of the
                breach of this Agreement. This includes Employer's legal fees.

        3.08    Payment of Monies due a Deceased Employee. If Employee dies
                prior to the expiration of the term of the Agreement, any monies
                that may be due Employee under this Agreement shall be paid to
                Employee's executors, administrators, heirs, personal
                representatives, successors or assigns.

        3.09    Employee hereby represents and warrants to Employer that
                Employee is not under any impediment, restraint, or disability
                that would prohibit, hinder, or in any way impair Employee's
                working ability or relationship with Employer. Employee hereby
                represents that Employee is under no prior restrictive trade
                covenant agreement or other legal restraint which would cause a
                breach of the agreement if Employee becomes an employee or
                Employer, and Employee represents that Employer will not be in
                violation of any such prior employment contract or restrictive
                trade agreement by hiring Employee.

        3.10    Duties. Employer hereby hires employee to perform the duties of
                Vice President, Operations and Technology. Employee agrees to
                provide prompt, courteous, efficient, and professional efforts
                to promote the work assigned by Employer and covered by this
                Agreement.

        3.11    Employee at all times during the performance of this Agreement
                shall strictly adhere to and obey all the rules and regulations
                now in effect or subsequently promulgated by Employer.

        3.12    The employment or Employee shall continue only so long as
                services rendered by Employee are satisfactory to Employer,
                regardless of any other provision contained in this Agreement.
                Employer shall be the sole judge as to whether the services of
                Employee are satisfactory.

        3.13    In addition to the foregoing, Employee shall perform such other
                work as may be assigned, subject to the instruction, direction,
                and control of Employer, provided only that any such additional
                duties shall be covered by the compensation schedule reflected
                in this Agreement.

        3.14    Employer shall have the right at any time during this Agreement
                to assign Employee, in the discretion of Employer, to perform
                duties different in any manner whatsoever from the duties
                originally assigned and specified above.

        3.15    Employee shall devote Employee's entire time, ability, and
                attention to the business of Employer during the term of this
                contract. Employee shall not directly or indirectly render any
                services to any business or to any other person or organization,
                or be involved in any business or commercial or professional
                venture of any nature, whether for compensation or otherwise,
                without the prior written consent of Employer.

                          V. NONCOMPETITION PROVISIONS

        5.01    The parties hereto agree that the covenants, agreements and
                restrictions (hereinafter refereed to or known as "this
                covenant") contained herein are necessary to protect the
                business goodwill, business interests and proprietary rights of
                Communicate Now.com Inc. and that the parties hereto have
                independently discussed, reviewed and had the opportunity of
                legal counsel to consider this agreement and now hereby agree
                and stipulate the following:

                (a) This covenant is an integral part of an enforceable
                    agreement and the covenants contained herein were made at
                    the time this agreement was consummated by the parties
                    hereto.

                (b) This covenant is fair and reasonable in its:

                        1.       Geographical area;

                        2.       Length of time; and

                        3.       Scope of activity being restrained.

        5.02    Restrictive Covenants. Employee expressly agrees that while the
                contract is in effect, and for a period of one year following
                the termination of this Agreement, Employee will not directly or
                indirectly, as an employee, agent, proprietor, partner, broker,
                stockholder, officer, director, or otherwise, render any service
                to, on Employee's own behalf or on behalf of any other person or
                entity, engage in or own a part of any competitive business or
                organization or plan that would compete directly or indirectly
                with Employee's business, in any country, world wide, without
                prior written consent of employer.

                (a) Employee further expressly agrees that Employee will not use
                    for Employee's own benefit or disclose to any person any
                    information, including confidential information, of Employer
                    obtained or learned while acting as an employee for
                    Employer, without prior written consent of Employer.

                (b) The agreements contained in this section on the part of
                    Employee shall be construed as agreements independent of
                    any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any
                    claim or cause of action against Employee by Employer,
                    whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not
                    constitute a defense to the enforcement by Employer of the
                    agreements contained in this section.

        5.03    The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that employer has spent
                considerable sums of money and time in developing good customer
                contact and rapport and that the client list or customer list
                developed by Employer is worth a considerable amount of money
                and therefore is a benefit which Employer seeks to protect. Such
                protection is hereby agreed and acknowledged by both parties as
                being reasonable consideration for establishing this restrictive
                covenant.

        5.04    The parties hereby agree that it may be difficult or
                impracticable to calculate or ascertain actually or definitely
                the damages that Employer may suffer if Employee causes a breach
                of this provision. Therefore Employer may resort, without
                prejudice to any appropriate legal remedy, by injunction or
                otherwise. If any of the foregoing restrictions in this
                provision are held to be invalid, they shall be deemed to be
                severable and shall not defeat the remaining provisions in this
                Agreement.

        5.05    Property Rights of Employer. Employee recognizes that the
                business interests of Employer require a confidential
                relationship between Employer and its employees, and the fullest
                protection and confidential treatment of its trade secrets,
                customer list, know-how, products and other business knowledge
                developed, conceived and learned by Employee during the course
                of employment. Accordingly, Employee agrees that, during the
                term of employment with Employer, Employee will keep secret and
                confidential all such information, trade secrets, products,
                know-how, and customer lists and will not use the same to aid
                Employee or others, either directly or indirectly. Employee
                further agrees that, on termination of this Agreement, Employee
                will surrender to Employer all papers, formulas, information
                documents, writings and other properties in Employee's
                possession relating to employer's business, including both
                originals and any copies of such material. Employee also agrees
                that Employee will not withhold any such documentation from
                Employer. All customer lists, and all records of the accounts of
                customers, and other records and books relating in any manner
                whatsoever to the customers and prospective customers of
                Employer shall be the exclusive property of Employer. Employee
                shall immediately return all such books, records and catalogs to
                Employer upon the termination of this Agreement. Employee shall
                also return to Employer any and all identification cards, credit
                cards, business documents or other documents, if any, to
                Employer upon the termination of this Agreement.

        5.06    Soliciting Customers after Termination of This Agreement.
                Employee shall not, for a period of one year immediately
                following the termination of this Agreement, regardless of the
                reasons or cause for the termination and regardless of the party
                causing the termination, either directly or indirectly: (a) make
                known to any person, firm or corporation the names and addresses
                of any of the customers of Employer or any other information
                pertaining to them; or (b) call on, solicit, or take away, or
                attempt to call on, solicit, or take away any of the customers
                of Employer on whom Employee called or with whom Employee became
                acquainted during the term of the Agreement either for
                Employee's benefit or for any other person or entity.

                    VI. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

                contemplated in this Agreement, and its execution and delivery,

        6.05    No Waiver. A failure or delay in the enforcement of the rights

                any delay or failure to enforce those rights.

        6.06    Dispute or Contest. In the unlikely event that a dispute occurs

                reason, be held violative of any applicable law, and so much of
                the Agreement is held to be unenforceable, then the invalidity
                of such a specific provision of this Agreement shall not be
                deemed to invalidate any other provisions of this Agreement,
                which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect
                unless removal of the invalid provisions destroy the legitimate
                purposes of this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall
                be canceled.

        6.11    Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement

                waived by Employee if not claimed within 30 days from the date
                of the termination of this Agreement.

        6.13    Damages. In the event of a breach of this Agreement by Employee
                resulting in damages to Employer, Employer may recover from

                III. DUTIES OF EMPLOYEE AND TERM OF THE AGREEMENT

        3.01    The term of the Agreement shall be for one year from the date
                the Agreement is executed by the Employee and Employer, here in
                after known as "the parties".

        3.02    If, after the term of the Agreement has expired, the parties
                continue to do business together as if the Agreement were still
                in effect, the Agreement shall be renewed and shall continue in
                effect until one of the parties notifies the other in writing of
                its termination. The termination letter must give 30 days'
                written notice to the other party.

        3.03    Termination may be by agreement, on 30 days' written notice
                pursuant to Provision 3.02 above, or on the breach of this
                Agreement by Employee. The breach of this Agreement includes,
                but is not limited to, a violation of Employer's rules or
                policies, a breach of the non-competition agreement contained in
                this Agreement, the making of a misrepresentation or false
                statement by Employee, nonperformance of Employee's duties,
                death of Employee, or the occurrence of a conflict of interest
                between Employee and Employer.

                        (a) A decision by Employer to terminate this Agreement
                            shall be without prejudice to any other remedy to
                            which Employer may be entitled either at law or in
                            equity or under this Agreement, and shall follow the
                            notice for a termination as outlined in provision
                            3.02.

                        (b) Employer may also have the right to declare this
                            Agreement void and terminate the employment contract
                            in the event that Employer files a petition in
                            bankruptcy court or is adjudicated bankrupt, has a
                            receiver appointed of his assets, or makes a
                            general assignment of his assets for the benefit of
                            his creditors.

        3.04    If Employee becomes permanently disabled because of sickness, or
                physical or mental disability, or for any other reason, so that
                it reasonably appears that he will be unable to perform his
                duties under this Agreement, Employer shall have the option to
                terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written notice of
                the termination to Employee as outlined in provision 3.02. The
                termination shall be without prejudice to any other right or
                remedy to which Employer may be entitled either in law or in
                equity or under this Agreement.

        3.05    Effect of Termination on Compensation. In the event of
                termination of this Agreement prior to the completion of the
                term of employment specified herein, Employee shall be entitled
                to the compensation earned prior to the date of termination as
                provided for in the compensation section of this agreement.

        3.06    In the event of termination of this Agreement prior to the
                completion of the specified term, Employee shall automatically
                and completely forever forfeit any rights employee may have in
                any bonus, incentive plan or Employer benefit or pension plan,
                if any, established by Employer. Furthermore; Employee will
                forfeit any right or title to commissions on sales that may have
                been instituted by Employee but have not been completed and
                approved prior to the termination of this Agreement.

        3.07    Damages for Breach of Contract. In the event of a breach of this
                Agreement by Employee, Employer may recover from Employee any
                and all damages that Employer may sustain as a result of the
                breach of this Agreement. This includes Employer's legal fees.

        3.08    Payment of Monies due a Deceased Employee. If Employee dies
                prior to the expiration of the term of the Agreement, any monies
                that may be due Employee under this Agreement shall be paid to
                Employee's executors, administrators, heirs, personal
                representatives, successors or assigns.

        3.09    Employee hereby represents and warrants to Employer that
                Employee is not under any impediment, restraint, or disability
                that would prohibit, hinder, or in any way impair Employee's
                working ability or relationship with Employer. Employee hereby
                represents that Employee is under no prior restrictive trade
                covenant agreement or other legal restraint which would cause a
                breach of the agreement if Employee becomes an employee or
                Employer, and Employee represents that Employer will not be in
                violation of any such prior employment contract or restrictive
                trade agreement by hiring Employee.

        3.10    Duties. Employer hereby hires employee to perform the duties of
                President/CEO, Sole Director of the Board. Employee agrees to
                provide prompt, courteous, efficient, and professional efforts
                to promote the work assigned by Employer and covered by this
                Agreement.

        3.11    Employee at all times during the performance of this Agreement
                shall strictly adhere to and obey all the rules and regulations
                now in effect or subsequently promulgated by Employer.

        3.12    The employment or Employee shall continue only so long as
                services rendered by Employee are satisfactory to Employer,
                regardless of any other provision contained in this Agreement.
                Employer shall be the sole judge as to whether the services of
                Employee are satisfactory.

        3.13    In addition to the foregoing, Employee shall perform such other
                work as may be assigned, subject to the instruction, direction,
                and control of Employer, provided only that any such additional
                duties shall be covered by the compensation schedule reflected
                in this Agreement.

        3.14    Employer shall have the right at any time during this Agreement
                to assign Employee, in the discretion of Employer, to perform
                duties different in any manner whatsoever from the duties
                originally assigned and specified above.

        3.15    Employee shall devote Employee's entire time, ability, and
                attention to the business of Employer during the term of this
                contract. Employee shall not directly or indirectly render any
                services to any business or to any other person or organization,
                or be involved in any business or commercial or professional
                venture of any nature, whether for compensation or otherwise,
                without the prior written consent of Employer.

                                IV. COMPENSATION

        4.01    In consideration of Employee's efforts, Employer agrees to pay

                          V. NONCOMPETITION PROVISIONS

        5.01    The parties hereto agree that the covenants, agreements and
                restrictions (hereinafter refereed to or known as "this
                covenant") contained herein are necessary to protect the
                business goodwill, business interests and proprietary rights of
                Communicate Now.com Inc. and that the parties hereto have
                independently discussed, reviewed and had the opportunity of
                legal counsel to consider this agreement and now hereby agree
                and stipulate the following:

                (a) This covenant is an integral part of an enforceable
                    agreement and the covenants contained herein were made at
                    the time this agreement was consummated by the parties
                    hereto.

                (b) This covenant is fair and reasonable in its:

                        4.       Geographical area;

                        5.       Length of time; and

                        6.       Scope of activity being restrained.

        5.02    Restrictive Covenants. Employee expressly agrees that while the
                contract is in effect, and for a period of one year following
                the termination of this Agreement, Employee will not directly or
                indirectly, as an employee, agent, proprietor, partner, broker,
                stockholder, officer, director, or otherwise, render any service
                to, on Employee's own behalf or on behalf of any other person or
                entity, engage in or own a part of any competitive business or
                organization or plan that would compete directly or indirectly
                with Employee's business, in any country, world wide, without
                prior written consent of employer.

                (a) Employee further expressly agrees that Employee will not use
                    for Employee's own benefit or disclose to any person any
                    information, including confidential information, of Employer
                    obtained or learned while acting as an employee for
                    Employer, without prior written consent of Employer.

                (b) The agreements contained in this section on the part of
                    Employee shall be construed as agreements independent of any
                    other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any
                    claim or cause of action against Employee by Employer,
                    whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not
                    constitute a defense to the enforcement by Employer of the
                    agreements contained in this section.

        5.03    The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that employer has spent
                considerable sums of money and time in developing good customer
                contact and rapport and that the client list or customer list
                developed by Employer is worth a considerable amount of money
                and therefore is a benefit which Employer seeks to protect. Such
                protection is hereby agreed and acknowledged by both parties as
                being reasonable consideration for establishing this restrictive
                covenant.

        5.04    The parties hereby agree that it may be difficult or
                impracticable to calculate or ascertain actually or definitely
                the damages that Employer may suffer if Employee causes a breach
                of this provision. Therefore Employer may resort, without
                prejudice to any appropriate legal remedy, by injunction or
                otherwise. If any of the foregoing restrictions in this
                provision are held to be invalid, they shall be deemed to be
                severable and shall not defeat the remaining provisions in this
                Agreement.

        5.05    Property Rights of Employer. Employee recognizes that the
                business interests of Employer require a confidential
                relationship between Employer and its employees, and the fullest
                protection and confidential treatment of its trade secrets,
                customer list, know-how, products and other business knowledge
                developed, conceived and learned by Employee during the course
                of employment. Accordingly, Employee agrees that, during the
                term of employment with Employer, Employee will keep secret and
                confidential all such information, trade secrets, products,
                know-how, and customer lists and will not use the same to aid
                Employee or others, either directly or indirectly. Employee
                further agrees that, on termination of this Agreement, Employee
                will surrender to Employer all papers, formulas, information
                documents, writings and other properties in Employee's
                possession relating to employer's business, including both
                originals and any copies of such material. Employee also agrees
                that Employee will not withhold any such documentation from
                Employer. All customer lists, and all records of the accounts of
                customers, and other records and books relating in any manner
                whatsoever to the customers and prospective customers of
                Employer shall be the exclusive property of Employer. Employee
                shall immediately return all such books, records and catalogs to
                Employer upon the termination of this Agreement. Employee shall
                also return to Employer any and all identification cards, credit
                cards, business documents or other documents, if any, to
                Employer upon the termination of this Agreement.

        5.06   Soliciting Customers after Termination of This Agreement.
               Employee shall not, for a period of one year immediately
               following the termination of this Agreement, regardless of the
               reasons or cause for the termination and regardless of the party
               causing the termination, either directly or indirectly: (a) make
               known to any person, firm or corporation the names and addresses
               of any of the customers of Employer or any other information
               pertaining to them; or (b) call on, solicit, or take away, or
               attempt to call on, solicit, or take away any of the customers of
               Employer on whom Employee called or with whom Employee became
               acquainted during the term of the Agreement either for Employee's
               benefit or for any other person or entity.

                    VI. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

        6.01    Parties Bound. This Agreement shall be binding on an inure to
                the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs,
                executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and
                assigns.

        6.02    Assignment. Employee shall have no right to transfer or assign
                Employee's interest in this Agreement without the prior written
                consent of employer.

        6.03    Corporate Authority. If any party to this Agreement is a legal
                entity (partnership, corporation and/or trust), that party
                represents to the other that this Agreement, the transaction
                contemplated in this Agreement, and its execution and delivery,
                have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership,
                corporate, or trust proceedings and actions, including without
                limitation action on the part of the directors, if the party is
                a corporation. Certified copies of the corporate or other
                resolutions authorizing this transaction shall be delivered at

                time limits shall be strictly construed and rigidly enforced.

        6.05    No Waiver. A failure or delay in the enforcement of the rights
                detailed in this Agreement by Employer shall not constitute a
                waiver of those rights or be considered a basis for estoppel.
                Employer may exercise its rights under this Agreement despite
                any delay or failure to enforce those rights.

        6.06    Dispute or Contest. In the unlikely event that a dispute occurs
