                  business strategy."

            2.    The  third  sentence  of  Item 1 of the  Agreement  is  hereby
                  amended and restated as follows:

                  "You shall  devote a  substantial  amount of your working time

                  accepts  and  supports  your  continued  participation  in the

                  10(A) of the Agreement.

           6.     Dr. Harvey W. Schiller  agrees to forego  receiving any annual
                  bonus that he is entitled to in 2005 under the Agreement.

           7.     Pubco and Dr.  Harvey W.  Schiller  agree to negotiate in good
                  faith bonus compensation arrangements for terms after December

                                       3

            6. NON-COMPETE.

               6.1 So long as the  Company  is not in  material  breach  of this
Agreement,  during  the  Employment  Period and the  twelve  (12)  month  period
beginning  on the  day  of  termination,  the  Employee  will  not  directly  or
indirectly,  privately  or  as  an  employee,  individual  proprietor,  partner,
stockholder,  officer, employee,  director, joint venturer, investor, lender, or
in any other capacity  whatsoever (other than as the holder of not more than one
percent (1%) of the total outstanding stock of a publicly held company):

                   (a) recruit,  hire,  solicit or induce, or attempt to induce,
or assist others in hiring, soliciting or inducing, any employee or employees of
the Company or its affiliates to terminate their  employment  with, or otherwise
cease their relationship with, the Company or its affiliates;

                   (b) solicit,  divert or take away, or attempt to divert or to
take away,  the  business  or  patronage  of any of the  clients,  customers  or
accounts,  or prospective clients,  customers or accounts, of the Company or its
affiliates  which were  contacted,  solicited  or served by the  Employee  while
employed by the Company.  The terms "client" and "customer" as used herein shall
mean such firms or agencies to which the Company or any affiliate of the Company
has provided  services or sold  products  within twelve (12) months prior to the
date of termination of the Employee's employment; or

                   (c) engage in the  rendering of any of the services  that are
provided by the Company as of the time of the Employee's termination or that are
contemplated by any business plan approved by the Board of Directors at the time
of the Employee's termination

               6.2 The parties agree that the relevant  public policy aspects of
covenants  not to compete  have been  discussed,  and that every effort has been
made to limit  the  restrictions  placed  upon the  Employee  to those  that are
reasonable and necessary to protect the Company's legitimate interests.

               6.3 If any  restriction  set forth in this  Section 6 is found by
any court of competent  jurisdiction to be unenforceable  because it extends for
too long a  period  of time or over too  great a range of  activities  or in too
broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum
period of time,  range of activities  or  geographic  area as to which it may be
enforceable;  provided,  however,  that if the  period  of time  over  which the
restrictions  set forth in this  Section 6 apply is reduced,  the period of time
for which the Company is required to make severance payments pursuant to Section
5.4 shall be similarly reduced.

               6.4 The  restrictions  contained in this Section 6 are  necessary
for the  protection  of the  business  and  goodwill of the  Company  and/or its
affiliates  and  are  considered  by the  Employee  to be  reasonable  for  such
purposes.  The Employee  agrees that any breach of this Section 6 will cause the
Company and/or its affiliates  substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore,
in the event of any such breach,  in,  addition to such other remedies which may
be available,  the Company shall have the right to seek specific performance and
injunctive relief.
