employ or otherwise engage the services of, any employees of the Company or its
successors or assigns.

irreparable injury to the Company that would result from a breach or threatened
breach of Employee of the covenants or agreements under Sections 7 (a) or (b)
hereof, and because there is not an adequate remedy at law to protect the
Company from the ongoing breach of those covenants, the Employee acknowledges
that a permanent injunction is an appropriate remedy for such a breach or
threatened breach. These remedies shall be in addition to and not in limitation
of any other rights or remedies to which the Company is or may be entitled at
law or in equity under this Agreement. With respect to any such litigation, the
provisions of Section 9(m) hereof shall apply, regardless of whether this
Agreement had earlier expired or been terminated.

read and considered the provisions of Sections 7 (a), (b) and (c) hereof and,
having done so, agrees that the covenants set forth in those Sections are fair
and reasonable and are reasonably required to protect the legitimate business
interests of the Company. The Employee agrees that the covenants set forth in
Sections 7 (a), (b) and (c) hereof do not unreasonably impair the ability of the
Employee to conduct any unrelated business or to find gainful work in his field.
The parties hereto agree that if a court of competent jurisdiction holds any of
the covenants set forth in Sections 7 (a) or (b) unenforceable, the court shall
substitute an enforceable covenant that preserves, to the maximum lawful extent,
the scope, duration and all other aspects of the covenants deemed unenforceable,
and that the covenant substituted by the court shall be immediately enforceable
against the Employee. The foregoing shall not be deemed to affect the right of
the parties hereto to appeal any decision by a court concerning this Agreement.

                  (e) SURVIVAL. This Section 7 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the Employee's employment hereunder. The Employee
acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 7 are specifically
intended by both the Company and the Employee to benefit, and be enforceable by,
not only the Company, but also the Company's successors and assigns.

                  (d)  MOVING EXPENSES, STORAGE AND TEMPORARY HOUSING. Employee
                       does not currently reside in Florida. In order to allow
                       for Employee to smoothly and efficiently transition into
                       the work under this Employment Agreement Corporation
                       shall pay for all reasonable moving, including, but not
                       limited to , movers' fees, truck and equipment rental,
                       moving insurance and suitable storage facility charges in
                       the Miami area. In addition, Corporation acknowledges
                       that Employee will need to work long hours and weekends
                       during the foreseeable future. To that end, it may be
                       difficult for Employee to locate suitable housing in a
                       timely fashion. Therefore, Corporation will reimburse
                       Employee for temporary housing for a reasonable period of
                       time in order to facilitate Employee's move and
                       transition.

                  (e)  AUTOMOBILE. For the duration of Employee's Term, as set
                       forth in Section 8 below, Corporation shall lease for
                       Employee a vehicle of Employee's election, to be paid for
                       directly by the Corporation. Corporation shall maintain
                       insurance on the vehicle and register the vehicle in
                       Corporation's name. The lease term for each vehicle shall
                       not exceed two years.

                  (f)  ADDITIONAL BENEFITS. As further compensation, Employee
                       shall be entitled to participate in any pension plan,
                       insurance plan, health plan, cafeteria plan or other
                       employee benefit program the Corporation now has in
                       effect or adopts during the Employment Term.

3.       EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

                  Corporation shall reimburse Employee for such reasonable out
of pocket expenses ("Business Expenses") as he may incur.

                  In addition to Business Expenses, Employee is expected to
incur other reasonable expenses ("Deductible Expenses") on behalf of the
Corporation, such as travel on behalf of the Corporation, entertainment at home
or elsewhere, automobiles for use when needed on the Corporation's business,
availability of home facilities for meetings with clients or others and
membership in clubs for entertainment of clients which are on behalf of the
Corporation and are deductible under the Internal Revenue Code but are not

support of such expenses.

                  The Corporation shall provide or cause to be provided to

  commencement date of this Employment Agreement.
