    (i) any
      act
      that would constitute a material violation of the Company’s material written

      Company, provided
      that
      such incapacity can reasonably be expected to prevent the Executive from working

      the Executive to have the examination described in the preceding sentence at

      Company shall pay all costs and expenses associated with such examination.

      to such move) without the written consent of the Executive, (b) failure of
      the
      Company to pay any installment of the Executive’s Base Salary when such
      installment is due pursuant to this Agreement, which failure is not cured within
      fifteen (15) days; (c) any other breach or breaches of this Agreement by the
      Company, which breaches are, singularly or in the aggregate, material, and

      breaches to the Company by the Executive; or (d) a reduction by the Company
      of
      the Executive’s Base Salary without the express written consent of the

      his
      duties, adhere to the Company’s published policies and procedures, promote the

      of the Company) and as lawfully directed, from time to time, by the Board.
      During the Employment Period, the Executive’s title shall be Chief Executive
      Officer. During the Employment Period the Executive shall report to the Board,
      and Executive may use such additional titles as assigned and approved by the
      Board. The Executive shall not, during the Employment Period, be employed or
      involved in any other business activity for gain, profit or other pecuniary
      advantage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may (a) volunteer
      services for or on behalf of such religious, educational, non-profit and/or
      other charitable organization as the Executive may wish to serve; (b) manage
      his
      personal, financial and legal affairs; and (c) participate in the over all
      management (but not the day to day management) of two private companies
      identified on Exhibit
      A
      attached
      hereto and incorporated herein (and as to one of which, as identified on
Exhibit
      A,
      the
      Executive serves as the chairman of its Board), so long as such activities
      do
      not interfere with the performance of his duties and responsibilities to the
      Company as provided hereunder or violate any of the terms of this or any other
      agreement entered into with the Company. The Executive acknowledges that the
      Executive may be required to travel on business in connection with the
      Executive's performance of the Executive's duties hereunder, but that the
      Executive's base will be the location of the Company’s headquarters in Columbia
      or Beltsville, Maryland or such other location as determined by the
      Board.

     

    2.3. Insurance.
      The
      Company may, at its discretion, apply for and procure in its own name and for
      its own benefit life and/or disability insurance on the Executive in any amount
      or amounts considered available. The Executive agrees to cooperate in any
      medical or other examination, supply any information and execute and deliver
      any
      applications or other instruments in writing as may be reasonably necessary
      to
      obtain and constitute such insurance. The Executive hereby represents that
      the
      Executive has no reason to believe that the Executive's life is not insurable
      at
      rates now prevailing for a healthy person of the Executive's gender and
      age.

      Opportunity.
      The
      Executive agrees that, unless approved by the Board, he will not take personal
      advantage of any business opportunities which arise during his employment with
      the Company and which may be of benefit to the Company. All material facts
      regarding such opportunities must be promptly reported to the Board for
      consideration by the Company.

      paid
      in approximately equal installments bi-weekly. The Company will review the
      Executive’s Base Salary on December 31 of each year of the Employment Period in
      order to determine what Base Salary adjustments, if any, shall be made, subject
      to an annual minimum increase of five percent (5%), but in no event may the

      year.

      For
      calendar year 2006 (ending on or about December 31, 2006) and for each

      the
      Executive shall be eligible to receive a bonus in an amount and on such terms
      as
      are established by the Company's Board up to fifty percent (50%) of the Base
      Salary (each, a "Bonus")
      in
      accordance with the bonus plan or formula applicable to the Executive. The
      2006
      Bonus shall be prorated to reflect that the 2006 Bonus Year is a partial year
      commencing on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2006. In
      addition, the Executive shall be eligible for any other bonus as the Board
      may
      determine in its sole discretion. Any Bonus for an applicable calendar year,

      and Benefits. The
      Executive shall continue to receive vacation, health insurance and other
      employee benefits as the Company makes available to other executives, as may
      exist at any particular time and from time to time during the Executive’s
      employment. 

     

    3.4. Withholding.
      All
      payments required to be made by the Company hereunder to the Executive shall
      be
      subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other
      payroll deductions as the Company may reasonably determine should be withheld
      pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

    3.5. Policies,
      Procedures & Benefit Plans.
      Except
      as otherwise provided herein, the Executive’s employment shall be subject to the
      policies and procedures which apply generally to the Company’s employees as the
      same may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time, during
      the Employment Period, by the Board in its sole discretion. The Executive agrees
      to comply with such policies and procedures in all material respects. During
      the
      Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any Company
      benefit plans on the same basis as other executive level employees of the
      Company. The Board reserves the right to change, alter, or terminate benefits,
      plans and carriers in its sole direction. All matters of eligibility for
      coverage or benefits under any health, hospitalization, life, disability, or
      other insurance plan, program or policy shall be determined in accordance with
      the provisions of the plan, program, or policy; the Company shall not be liable
      to the Executive, the Executive’s family, heirs, executors, or beneficiaries,
      for any payment payable or claimed to be payable under any such benefit plan,
      program, or policy. Provided that the Executive can be insured at standard

      Subject
      to Section
      3.6.4
      below,
      as of July 13, 2008 (the period between the Effective Date and July 13, 2008
      being hereinafter referred to as the “Stock
      Bonus Period”),
      Executive shall be entitled to receive up to Five Million Dollars
      ($5,000,000.00) worth of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock
      Bonus”)
      depending on whether during the Stock Bonus Period the highest average closing
      price of the Company’s common stock (on the Nasdaq OTC market or such other
      recognized stock market on which the Company’s stock is then being traded on)
      for sixty (60) consecutive trading days (the “Highest
      Average Trading Price”)
      exceeds the applicable “Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds” set forth
      below.

     

    3.6.1 For
      purposes of this Agreement (A) the “Stock
      Bonus Closing Price Thresholds”
are
      as
      follows (each of which is individually referred to as a “Stock
      Bonus Closing Price Threshold”);
      (B)
      the “Stock
      Bonus Threshold Share Value”
for
      each Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold shall be the dollar amount ($500,000,
      $1,000,000, $1,500,000 or $2,000,000 as the case may be) for that Stock Bonus
      Closing Price Threshold as set forth below; (C) the “Minimum
      Threshold Share Price”
with
      respect to each Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold is the maximum price per
      share that is within that Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold ($9.01, $10.01,
      $12.01, or $14.01 as the case may be); and (D) the “Threshold
      Share Price Range”
for
      each Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold shall be the price per share range
      referenced therein ($9.01 - $10.00, $10.01 - $12.00, $12.01 - $14.00 and $14.01,
      as the case may be).

     

    (i) If
      during
      the Stock Bonus Period the Highest Average Trading Price never exceeds Nine
      Dollars ($9.00) per share, then no Company common stock shall be issuable to
      Executive at the end of the Stock Bonus Period.

     

    (ii) If
      during
      the Stock Bonus Period the Highest Average Trading Price is in excess of Nine
      Dollars ($9.00), then Executive shall be entitled to receive Five Hundred
      Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) of Company common stock.

     

    (iii) If
      during
      the Stock Bonus Period the Highest Average Trading Price is in excess of Ten
      Dollars ($10.00), then Executive shall be entitled to receive, in addition
      to
      the Company common stock referenced in Section

      above,
      an additional One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) of Company common
      stock.

    (iv) If
      during
      the Stock Bonus Period the Highest Average Trading Price is in excess of Twelve
      Dollars ($12.00), then Executive shall be entitled to receive, in addition
      to
      the Company common stock referenced in Sections
      3.6.1(ii) and (iii)
      above,
      an additional One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) of
      Company common stock. 

     

    (v) If
      during
      the Stock Bonus Period the Highest Average Trading Price is in excess of
      Fourteen Dollars ($14.00) per share, then Executive shall be entitled to receive
      , in addition to the Company common stock referenced in Sections
      3.6.1(ii) -(iv)
      above,
      an additional Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) of Company common stock (based
      on the Highest Average Trading Price).

     

    3.6.2 Determination
      of Company Shares Payable as Stock Bonus. The
      number of shares Company common stock to be issued as the Stock Bonus shall
      be
      determined at the end of the Stock Bonus Period as follows:

     

    (i) determining
      the Highest Average Trading Price during the Stock Bonus Period; 

     

    (ii) determining
      which Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds are applicable (the applicable Stock
      Bonus Thresholds being (y) the Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds for which
      the Highest Average Trading Price falls within the applicable Threshold Share
      Price Range (the “Maximum
      Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold”)
      and
      (z) all other Stock Bonus Price Thresholds for which the Highest Average Trading
      Price exceeds the applicable Threshold Share Price Range (collectively with
      the
      Maximum Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold referred to as the “Effected
      Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds”));
      and

     

    (iii) dividing
      the applicable Stock Bonus Threshold Share Value for each of the Effected Stock
      Bonus Closing Price Thresholds by the applicable Minimum Threshold Share Price
      for each of the Effected Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds (other than the
      Maximum Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold for which the Stock Bonus Share
      Value shall be divided by the Highest Average Trading Price).

     

    FOR
      EXAMPLE

     

    If
      at the
      end of the Stock Bonus Period the Highest Average Trading Price was $14.50;
      then
      (A) the Effected Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds consists of all of the
      Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds; and (B) the division of (y) the Stock
      Bonus Threshold Share Value for each of the Effected Stock Bonus Closing Price
      Thresholds by the Minimum Threshold Share Price for each of the Effected Stock
      Bonus Closing Price Thresholds other than the Maximum Stock Bonus Closing Price
      Threshold and (z) the Stock Bonus Share Value for the Maximum Stock Bonus
      Closing Price Threshold by the Highest Average Trading Price results in the
      following:

    The
      determination of the Highest Average Trading Price and the calculation of the
      number of shares of Company stock that are issuable to the Executive as Stock
      Bonus shall be made as follows. Not later than twenty (20) Business Days after
      the Stock Bonus Period, the Company’s senior financial executive shall provide
      Executive with a statement (the “Stock
      Bonus Statement”)
      setting forth the calculation of the Stock Bonus that shall include the
      calculations used to determine the Stock Bonus. Executive shall have fifteen
      (15) days following delivery of the Stock Bonus Statement (the “Stock
      Bonus Notice Period”)
      to
      disagree with Stock Bonus Statement by written notice to the Company setting
      forth in reasonable detail the amount and nature of the disagreement (each
      an
“Stock
      Bonus Dispute Notice”).
      If
      the Company does not receive a Stock Bonus Dispute Notice from Executive within
      the Stock Bonus Notice Period, Executive shall be conclusively presumed to
      agree
      with the Stock Bonus Statement and the Company shall promptly issue the Stock
      Bonus shown to be due on the Stock Bonus Statement to Executive pursuant to
      Section
      3.6.3
      below.
      If the Company receives a Stock Bonus Dispute Notice from Executive within
      the
      Stock Bonus Notice Period then the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to
Section
      9
      below.

    3.6.4 Forfeiture
      of Stock Bonus.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
      3.6,
      if
      during the Stock Bonus Period Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to
Section
      5.1
      of this
      Agreement, then Executive shall forfeit any and all rights in and to the Stock
      Bonus.

      calculation of the number of shares of Company common stock to be received
      as
      the Stock Bonus pursuant to this Section
      3.6  
      would
      result in the issuance of fractional shares, then the number of shares of
      Company common stock that Executive would otherwise receive as the Stock Bonus
      shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares (which shall be
      the
      Stock Bonus payable to Executive and Executive shall receive as cash the amount
      attributable to the fractional interest.

     

    (ii) Restricted
      Shares.
      The
      shares of Company common stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement as Stock
      Bonus (A) have not been, and will not be at the time of issuance, registered
      under the Securities Act, and will be issued in a transaction that is exempt
      from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (B) will be
“restricted securities” under the federal securities laws and cannot be offered
      or resold except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an
      available exemption from registration. All certificates evidencing the Stock
      Bonus shall bear, in addition to any other legends required under applicable

      connection with and as a precondition to receipt of any Stock Bonus, Employee

      the
      reimbursement of any applicable expenses pursuant to Section
      4.2
      through

      the
      Company for reasons other than death, Disability, or Cause, or (ii) by the
      Executive for a Good Reason, or (iii) in accordance with the terms of
Section

      on
      the Date of Termination and on the Expiration Date; provided,
      however,
      that if

      (and
      subject to withholding pursuant to Section

      above);
then

      on
      the Date of Termination and ending twelve (12) months from the Date of

      than as set forth in this Section
      5.2
      and
Section
      5.3)
      and no
      Person shall be entitled hereunder to participate in any employee benefit plan

      (i.e., COBRA) and provided
      that
      nothing herein shall be interpreted to limit the Executive’s conversion rights,
      if any, under any of the Company’s employee benefit plans. In furtherance of and
      not in limitation of the foregoing, the Executive may only be terminated by
      the
      affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board (excluding the Executive
      if he
      is a member of the Board).

     

    5.3. Cooperation

      a
      period of six (6) months following termination of the Employment Period for
      any

      Executive shall fully cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to
      the
      winding up of pending work on behalf of the Company including, but not limited

      indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person or entity, whether
      as
      principal, agent, stockholder, employee, consultant, representative or in any
      other capacity:

     

    7.2.1 recruit,
      solicit or encourage any person to leave the employ of the Company or any of

      engage in or have a financial interest in any business that competes with the
      business operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except that
      nothing contained herein shall preclude the Executive from purchasing or owning

      provided that his holdings do not exceed one percent (1%) of the issued and
      outstanding capital stock of such business.

    7.4. Reduction
      and Extension of Restrictions. 

     

    7.4.1 If
      the
      Termination Date with respect to the Executive’s termination occurs on or before
      the third (3rd)
      anniversary of the Closing Date, then the provisions of Sections
      7.1, 7.2 and 7.3
      above
      apply to Executive regardless of the reason for the termination. If the
      Termination Date with respect to the Executive’s termination occurs after the
      third anniversary of the Closing Date, then the provisions of Sections
      7.1, 7.2 and 7.3
      above
      apply only to terminations made pursuant to Section
      5.1
      and
      shall not apply with respect to terminations made pursuant to Section
      5.2.

     

    7.4.2 The
      Company at Company’s option, by written notice delivered to Executive not less
      than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current, applicable
      Restrictive Period, may extend the Restrictive Period (as previously extended
      under this Section 7.4(b)) for an additional twelve (12) months, provided that
      Company pays to Executive during the extended Restrictive Period an amount
      equal
      to the Executive’s Base Salary (at the rate effective as of the applicable
      Termination Date and over time and in the manner Executive would have received
      these payments had he continued to be employed by the Company).

     

    7.5. Non-Disparagement.
      The
      Executive agrees not to make any public statement, or engage in any conduct,
      that is disparaging to the Company, or any of its employees, officers, directors
      or shareholders, including, but not limited to, any statement that disparages
      the products, services, finances, financial condition, capabilities or other
      aspects of the business of the Company. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary
      herein, the Executive shall not be in breach of this Section
      7
      for the
      making of any truthful statements under oath.

     

    7.6. Reasonableness
      of Restrictions.
      The
      Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section
      7,
      and,
      having done so, agrees (a) that the restrictions set forth herein are
      reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (b)
      that the protection afforded to the Company hereunder is necessary to protect
      its legitimate business interests, (c) that the agreement to observe such
      restrictions form a material part of the consideration for this Agreement and
      the Executive's employment by the Company and (d) that upon the termination
      of
      the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, he will be able to
      earn a livelihood without violating the foregoing restrictions. In the event
      that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the provisions of this Section
      7
      shall be
      held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions thereof shall
      nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or
      unenforceable parts had not been included therein. In the event that any
      provision of this Section relating to the time period and/or the areas of
      restriction and/or related aspects shall be declared by a court of competent
      jurisdiction to exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems reasonable
      and enforceable, the time period and/or areas of restriction and/or related
      aspects deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall become and
      thereafter be the maximum restriction in such regard, and the restriction shall
      remain enforceable to the fullest extent deemed reasonable by such
      court.

      The
      Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that the Executive has consulted

      under this Agreement and that the Executive fully understands the terms and
      conditions contained herein.

      party in such arbitration or litigation.

     

    10. GENERAL
      PROVISIONS

     

    10.1. Assignment. The
      Company may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder
      in
      whole, but not in part, to any Company or other entity with or into which the
      Company or may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may
      transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said
      company or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume
      all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally
      made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights
      and obligations hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this
      Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
      consent of the Company. Notwithstanding such assignment, the Company shall
      remain a guarantor of the performance of all obligations owed by the Company
      to
      the Executive under this Agreement.

     

    10.2. Notice.
      For the
      purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for
      in
      this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
      when delivered or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt
      requested, postage prepaid, or Federal Express, signature required, if to the
      Company, addressed to its corporate headquarters at the time notice is given,

      given.

    10.3. Amendment
      and Waiver.
      No
      provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment

      waiver is in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto.

      of Breach.
      No
      failure by either party to declare a default due to any breach of any obligation
      under this Agreement by the other, nor failure by either party to act quickly
      with regard thereto, shall be considered to be a waiver of any such obligation,
      or of any future breach.

     

    10.5. Severability.
      In the
      event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to
      be
      invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this
      Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and
      effect.

     

    10.6. Governing
      Law.
      To the
      extent not preempted by Federal law, the validity and effect of this Agreement
      and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and
      determined in accordance with the law of the State of Maryland, without giving
      effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether
      of
      the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
      application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
      Maryland.

     

    10.7. Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
      hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
      agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter, whether oral
      or
      written, including without limitation any prior or existing employment agreement
      with the Company which shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.
      

     

    10.8. Binding
      Effect.
      This
      Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
      transferees, successors and assigns of the Company, including without limitation
      any company with which the Company may merge or consolidate.

     

    10.9. Headings.
      Numbers
      and titles to Sections hereof are for information purposes only and, where
      inconsistent with the text, are to be disregarded.

     

    10.10. Survival.
      Section
      1
      and
Sections
      5

      survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms
      notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Employment
      Period.

     

    10.11. No
      Strict Construction.
      The
      language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by
      the
      parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
      construction shall be applied against any party.

     

    10.12. Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including by means of
      facsimile), each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken
      together constitute one and the same agreement.

     

    10.13. Indemnification
      of the Executive. The
      Company shall, to the extent permitted by the Bylaws of the Company, in a manner
      as applied to other officers of the Company, indemnify, protect and hold the
      Executive harmless from and against any expenses, including reasonable
      attorneys' fees and expenses, claims, judgments, fines, settlements and other
      amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding
      arising out of, or related to, the Executive's employment by the Company or
      any
      of its Subsidiaries. The Company shall cause the Executive to be covered under
      directors and officers liability insurance policies in reasonable amounts in
      accordance with the Company's standard corporate policies.

    10.14. Injunctive
      Relief.
      The
      Executive represents and acknowledges that, in light of the payments to be
      made
      by the Company to the Executive hereunder and for other good and valid reasons,
      as a result of the restrictions stated in the Assignment Agreement and the
      restrictions in Section
      7
      hereof,
      the Company and its affiliated companies would sustain irreparable harm and,
      therefore, in addition to any other remedies which the Company may have under
      this Agreement or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to apply to any
      court
      of competent jurisdiction for an injunction restraining the Executive from
      committing or continuing any such violation of this Agreement, and the Executive
      shall not object to such application.

      of
      the Purchaser required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement
      and the Registration Rights Agreement have been or will be effectively taken

              Purchase
                Entirely For Own Account.

            

    

     

    The
      Purchaser is acquiring the FIG Shares for his own account (not as a nominee
      or
      agent) and for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution
      of
      any part thereof except as specifically permitted by Section 4.3 hereof.

    Purchaser
      is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities
      Act.
      Purchaser has acquired sufficient information about FIG to reach an informed
      decision to purchase the FIG Shares. Purchaser has such business and financial
      experience as are required to give it the capacity to protect its own interests
      in connection with the purchase of the FIG Shares.

    The
      Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from
      FIG and its officers and directors concerning FIG and the terms and conditions
      of the sale of the FIG Shares under the terms of this Agreement and has had
      an
      opportunity to obtain additional information from FIG to the extent deemed
      necessary or advisable by the Purchaser in order to verify the accuracy of
      the
      information obtained. The Purchaser has, to the extent deemed necessary by
      the
      Purchaser, consulted with his or her own advisors (including the Purchaser’s
      attorney, accountant or investment advisor) regarding the Purchaser’s investment
      in the FIG Shares and understands the significance and effect of his
      representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this
      Agreement.

              Speculative
                Investment.

            

    

     

    The
      Purchaser understands that his investment in the FIG Shares entails a high
      degree of risk and that a total loss of the Purchaser’s investment in the FIG
      Shares is possible. The Purchaser understands that his acquisition of the FIG
      Shares will be a highly speculative investment.

              Representations
                and Warranties by FIG.

            

    

     

    The
      Purchaser acknowledges that neither FIG, nor any of its officers, directors,
      representatives or affiliates, nor any other person or entity, has made any
      representations or warranties, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein,
      with respect to FIG, its or its affiliates’ businesses, or the FIG
      Shares.

              Restricted
                Securities.

            

    

     

    Purchaser
      understands that (a) the FIG Shares are being offered in a transaction not
      involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the
      Securities Act, (b) the FIG Shares have not been registered under the Securities
      Act (in reliance upon an exemption from the Registration Requirements of the
      Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof), (c) the FIG Shares have not
      been registered under applicable state securities laws, and (d) Purchaser may
      not resell, pledge or otherwise transfer any such FIG Shares unless registered
      under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (FIG being under
      no obligation to so do, except as provided in the Registration Rights
      Agreement).

              Legends.

            

    

     

    Purchaser
      understands that the FIG Shares, and any securities issued in respect thereof
      or
      exchanged therefor, may bear the following legend until such time, if any,
      as
      (a) the FIG Shares or such securities (i) are sold in compliance with Rule
      144
      under the Securities Act (or a comparable successor provision) or pursuant
      to an
      effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant
      to

      or
      (b) FIG receives an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to it to the effect
      that such legend may be removed:

    EXHIBIT
      D

    

    SEPARATION
      FROM EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

     

    1. This
      agreement is between the Executive, Thomas P. Rosato, the Executive’s spouse,
      family, agents and attorneys) (jointly, the "Executive") and Fortress
      International Group, Inc. (the "Company"), its subsidiaries, affiliated
      entities, direct or indirect owners and its and their respective officers,
      directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, purchasers, assigns,
      representatives, fiduciaries, and insurers (jointly, the "Released
      Parties").

     

    2. If
      the
      Executive signs this agreement and does not revoke it, the Executive will
      receive the applicable severance payments and benefits set forth in Section
      5
      of the
      Executive’s Executive Employment Agreement, dated __________ _____, 2006 (the
      "Employment Agreement").

    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    3. The
      Executive, deeming this Agreement to be fair, reasonable, and equitable, and
      intending to be legally bound hereby, agrees to and hereby does, forever and
      irrevocably fully release and discharge the Released Parties from any and all
      grievances, liens, suits, judgments, claims, demands, debts, defenses, actions
      or causes of action, obligations, damages (whether compensatory, punitive or
      otherwise), and liabilities whatsoever which the Executive now has, has had,
      or
      may have, whether the same be known or unknown, vested or contingent, at law,
      in
      equity, or mixed, in any way arising out of or relating in any way to any
      matter, act, occurrence, or transaction before the date of this General Release
      Agreement, including but not limited to his employment with Company, the
      Executive's separation from Company and the Executive's employment agreement
      with the Company (collectively, "Claims"). This
      is a General Release.
      The
      Executive expressly acknowledges that this General Release includes, but is
      not
      limited to, the Executive's release of any tort and contract claims, arbitration
      claims, claims under any local, state or federal wage and hour law, wage
      collection law or labor relations law, and claims of age, race, sex, religion,
      disability, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, retaliation or any other
      claim of employment discrimination, under the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and
      1991
      as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq.),
      the
      Age Discrimination In Employment Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et
      seq.),
      the
      Americans With Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et seq.),
      the
      Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. §§ 701 et seq.),
      the
      Family and Medical Leave Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 2601 et seq.),
      the
      Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 201 et seq.),
      and
      any other law prohibiting employment discrimination or relating to employment.
      Also, the Executive understands that this General Release Agreement is not
      an
      admission of liability under any statute or otherwise by the Released Parties,
      and that the Released Parties do not admit but deny any violation of his legal
      rights, and that he shall not be regarded as a prevailing party for any purpose,
      including but not limited to, determining responsibility for or entitlement
      to
      attorneys’ fees, under any statute or otherwise. The Executive agrees that in
      the event the Executive brings a Claim in which the Executive seeks damages
      or
      other relief from any Released Party, or in the event the Executive seeks to
      recover against any Released Party in any Claim brought by a governmental agency
      on the Executive’s behalf, this Agreement shall serve as a complete defense to
      such Claims.

     

    4. The
      claims and causes of action the Executive is releasing and waiving include,
      but
      are not limited to, any and all claims and causes of action that any Released
      Party:

     

    · has
      violated its personnel policies, handbooks, contracts of employment, or
      covenants of good faith and fair dealing between the Executive and the
      Company;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

     

    · has
      discriminated against the Executive on the basis of age, race, color, sex
      (including sexual harassment), national origin, ancestry, disability, religion,
      sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, source of income,
      entitlement to benefits, any union activities or other protected category in
      violation of any local, state or federal law, constitution, ordinance, or
      regulation, including but not limited to: the Age Discrimination in Employment
      Act, as amended; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; 42
      U.S.C. § 1981, as amended; the Equal Pay Act; the Americans With
      Disabilities Act; the Family Medical Leave Act; the Employee Retirement Income
      Security Act; Section 510; and the National Labor Relations Act.

     

    · has
      violated any statute, public policy or common law (including but not limited
      to
      claims for retaliatory discharge; negligent hiring, retention or supervision;
      defamation; intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress and/or
      mental anguish; intentional interference with contract; negligence; and/or
      detrimental reliance).

     

    5. Excluded
      from this Agreement are any claims which cannot be waived by law. The Executive
      is waiving, however, the Executive’s right to any monetary recovery should any
      agency, such as the EEOC, pursue any claims on the Executive’s
      behalf.

     

    6. The
      Executive also agrees that the Executive has been paid for all hours worked,
      including any overtime bonus or other incentive compensation, has submitted
      all
      invoices and expense reports, and has not
      suffered any on-the-job injury for which the Executive has not already filed
      a
      claim.

     

    7. The
      Executive agrees that every term of this Agreement, including, but not limited
      to, the fact that an agreement has been reached and the amount paid, shall
      be
      treated by the Executive as strictly confidential, and expressly covenants
      not
      to display, publish, disseminate, or disclose the terms of this Agreement to
      any
      person or entity other than the Executive’s immediate family, the Executive’s
      attorney(s) (for purposes of seeking advice concerning this agreement only)
      and
      the Employee’s accountant(s) (for purposes of seeking tax advice only), unless
      compelled to make disclosure by lawful court order or subpoena. 

     

    8. The
      Executive and the Company have entered into an Assignment of Invention,
      Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement ("NDA
      Agreement"). The Executive reaffirms his obligation to comply with all of the
      post termination obligations in the NDA Agreement.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    9. The
      Executive also agrees that:

     

    · The
      Executive is entering into this agreement knowingly and
      voluntarily;

     

    · The
      Executive has been advised by the Company to consult an attorney;

     

    · The
      Executive has been given the right to take [21/45]
      days
      (the "Consideration Period") to consider this agreement; provided, however
      the
      Employee and the Company hereby agree that if there is a dispute as to the
      payment of wages such that the Executive is unable to make the representation
      set forth in Section
      6
      as to
      payment for hours worked (including any overtime bonus or other incentive
      compensation), the Consideration Period shall terminate on the later of the
      natural expiration of the Consideration Period or the date that is one day
      after
      the resolution of all claims regarding wages;

     

    · But
      for
      the Executive's execution of this agreement, the Executive would not otherwise
      be entitled to the payments described in paragraph 2;

     

    · if
      any
      part of this agreement is found to be illegal or invalid, the rest of the
      agreement will be enforceable; and

     

    · this
      agreement has been individually negotiated between the Executive and the Company
      and is not part of a group exit incentive or other group employment termination
      program. The Executive and the Company agree that the sole reason for the
      termination of the Executive’s employment is a business reorganization and
      reduction in force of the Company’s [INSERT DEPARTMENT OR JOB CLASSIFICATION]
      which is occurring on [INSERT DATE]. All individuals who are being terminated
      in
      the [INSERT DATE] reduction in force will be eligible for benefits based upon
      their execution of a release identical to this release. The Executive
      acknowledges by signing this Agreement that the Executive understands that
      the
      Executive is eligible for the benefits which the Executive will receive
      contingent upon the Executive executing this release, because the Executive
      was
      part of this reduction in force. As is more fully set forth in Attachment B,
      this reduction in force will affect [NUMBER AFFECTED] other executives on
      [DATE].

     

    10. After
      the
      Executive signs this agreement, the Executive will have 7 days to revoke it.
      If
      the Executive wants to revoke it, the Executive should deliver a written
      revocation to __________ . If the Executive does not revoke it, the Executive
      will receive the payment described in Paragraph 2.

    The

      Agreement ("Agreement") between me and Fortress International Group, a Maryland
      corporation (the "Company," which term includes the Company’s Affiliates,
      subsidiaries and any assigns). The promises and commitments that I make in
      this
      Agreement are a material part of the Company’s consideration in my employment
      relationship with the Company.

    
      

      
        	
                1.

              	
                I
                  understand and agree that my employment by the Company creates
                  a duty of
                  loyalty and a relationship of confidence and trust between me and
                  the
                  Company with respect to any information made known to me by the
                  Company or
                  by any client, customer or vendor of the Company or other person
                  who
                  submits information to the Company, or which may be learned by
                  me during
                  the period of my employment.

                  becomes known to the Company (including information created by,
                  discovered
                  or developed by, or made known to me) during the period of or arising
                  out
                  of my employment by the Company. I understand that various intellectual
                  and other property rights have been assigned or otherwise conveyed
                  to the
                  Company. All information concerning the above described activities
                  and
                  information is collectively called "Proprietary Information" under
                  this
                  Agreement.

                  consideration of my employment by the Company and the compensation
                  received by me from the Company from time to time, I hereby agree

                  to the
                  Company any rights I may have or acquire in Proprietary Information.
                  At
                  all times, both during and after my employment by the Company,

        reasonable in all respects including the scope, duration and geographic
        limitations. I agree that the restrictions are an appropriate means of
        protecting the Company’s legitimate business interests, and no greater than
        necessary to protect the Company’s interests. I acknowledge that these
        restrictions will not unreasonably interfere with my ability to make a
        living.

      shall
      mean any of the following: 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        -
          1
          -

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (i) any
      act
      that would constitute a material violation of the Company’s material written
      policies provided that the Company specifically terminates the Executive's

      actual notice of such;

     

    (ii) intentionally

      such; or

     

    (iii) conviction

      power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving

      such insurance, the determination by an independent physician acting reasonably
      and in good faith that the Executive is incapacitated by reason of a physical
      or
      mental illness which is long-term in nature and which prevents the Executive
      from performing the substantial and material duties of his employment with
      the
      Company, provided
      that
      such incapacity can reasonably be expected to prevent the Executive from working
      at least six (6) months in any twelve (12) month period. The Company may require
      the Executive to have the examination described in the preceding sentence at

      time for the purpose of determining whether the Executive has a long-term
      disability, and the Executive agrees to submit to such examination upon request
      of the Board; provided
      that the
      Company shall pay all costs and expenses associated with such examination.
      This
Section
      1.6

      mean termination by the Executive because of: (a) a requirement to move the
      Executive’s primary place of business more than twenty-five (25) miles from the
      office the Executive works in on the date hereof (which termination occurs
      prior
      to such move) without the written consent of the Executive, (b) failure of
      the
      Company to pay any installment of the Executive’s Base Salary when such
      installment is due pursuant to this Agreement, which failure is not cured within
      fifteen (15) days; (c) any other breach or breaches of this Agreement by the
      Company, which breaches are, singularly or in the aggregate, material, and
      which
      are not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice of such breach or
      breaches to the Company by the Executive; or (d) a reduction by the Company
      of
      the Executive’s Base Salary without the express written consent of the
      Executive.

      purposes of this Agreement the term “Restrictive
      Period”

      policies and procedures which apply generally to the Company’s employees as the
      same may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time, during

      rates, the Company shall maintain the Executive’s existing life insurance
      policy(ies) as set forth on Exhibit
      A
      attached
      hereto, or if it is not possible to continue the existing policies, then provide

      (B)
      the “Stock

      Share Price Range”
for
      each Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold shall be the price per share range

    (i)  If
      during
      the Stock Bonus Period the Highest Average Trading Price never exceeds Nine
      Dollars ($9.00) per share, then no Company common stock shall be issuable to

    (ii)  If
      during
      the Stock Bonus Period the Highest Average Trading Price is in excess of Nine

    3.6.2  Determination
      of Company Shares Payable as Stock Bonus. The
      number of shares Company common stock to be issued as the Stock Bonus shall
      be
      determined at the end of the Stock Bonus Period as follows:

     

    (i)  determining
      the Highest Average Trading Price during the Stock Bonus Period; 

     

    (ii)  determining
      which Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds are applicable (the applicable Stock
      Bonus Thresholds being (y) the Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds for which
      the Highest Average Trading Price falls within the applicable Threshold Share
      Price Range (the “Maximum
      Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold”)
      and
      (z) all other Stock Bonus Price Thresholds for which the Highest Average Trading
      Price exceeds the applicable Threshold Share Price Range (collectively with
      the
      Maximum Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold referred to as the “Effected
      Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds”));
      and

     

    (iii)  dividing
      the applicable Stock Bonus Threshold Share Value for each of the Effected Stock
      Bonus Closing Price Thresholds by the applicable Minimum Threshold Share Price
      for each of the Effected Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds (other than the
      Maximum Stock Bonus Closing Price Threshold for which the Stock Bonus Share
      Value shall be divided by the Highest Average Trading Price).

     

    FOR
      EXAMPLE

     

    If
      at the
      end of the Stock Bonus Period the Highest Average Trading Price was $14.50;
      then
      (A) the Effected Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds consists of all of the
      Stock Bonus Closing Price Thresholds; and (B) the division of (y) the Stock
      Bonus Threshold Share Value for each of the Effected Stock Bonus Closing Price
      Thresholds by the Minimum Threshold Share Price for each of the Effected Stock
      Bonus Closing Price Thresholds other than the Maximum Stock Bonus Closing Price
      Threshold and (z) the Stock Bonus Share Value for the Maximum Stock Bonus
      Closing Price Threshold by the Highest Average Trading Price results in the
      following:

     

    
      
         

      

      
        -
          8

      	$500,000 ∕ $9.01 per share = 	55,493 shares 
	$1,000,000 ∕ $10.01 per share =  	99,900 shares 
	$1,500,000 ∕ $12.01 per share = 	124,895 shares 
	$2,000,000 ∕ $14.50 per share = 	137,931 shares 
	Total Stock Bonus 	418,219
              shares 

    

     

    The
      determination of the Highest Average Trading Price and the calculation of the
      number of shares of Company stock that are issuable to the Executive as Stock
      Bonus shall be made as follows. Not later than twenty (20) Business Days after
      the Stock Bonus Period, the Company’s senior financial executive shall provide
      Executive with a statement (the “Stock
      Bonus Statement”)
      setting forth the calculation of the Stock Bonus that shall include the
      calculations used to determine the Stock Bonus. Executive shall have fifteen
      (15) days following delivery of the Stock Bonus Statement (the “Stock
      Bonus Notice Period”)
      to
      disagree with Stock Bonus Statement by written notice to the Company setting
      forth in reasonable detail the amount and nature of the disagreement (each
      an
“Stock
      Bonus Dispute Notice”).
      If
      the Company does not receive a Stock Bonus Dispute Notice from Executive within
      the Stock Bonus Notice Period, Executive shall be conclusively presumed to
      agree
      with the Stock Bonus Statement and the Company shall promptly issue the Stock
      Bonus shown to be due on the Stock Bonus Statement to Executive pursuant to
      Section
      3.6.3
      below.
      If the Company receives a Stock Bonus Dispute Notice from Executive within
      the
      Stock Bonus Notice Period then the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to
Section
      9
      below.

      certificates for any Stock Bonus.

     

    3.6.4  Forfeiture
      of Stock Bonus.

      3.6,
      if
      during the Stock Bonus Period Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to
Section
      5.1
      of this
      Agreement, then Executive shall forfeit any and all rights in and to the Stock
      Bonus.

      and Restricted Shares; Acquisition Agreement

      calculation of the number of shares of Company common stock to be received
      as
      the Stock Bonus pursuant to this Section
      3.6 
      would
      result in the issuance of fractional shares, then the number of shares of
      Company common stock that Executive would otherwise receive as the Stock Bonus
      shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares (which shall be
      the
      Stock Bonus payable to Executive and Executive shall receive as cash the amount
      attributable to the fractional interest.

      pay
      for all pre-approved reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in
      furtherance of, or in connection with, the business of the Company or its
      Subsidiaries, consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time
      with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject
      to
      such reasonable documentation and other limitations as may be established from
      time to time by the Board, including against presentation of vouchers or
      receipts therefor. 

     

    5.  TERMINATION

     

    5.1.  Termination
      Due to Death or Disability, For Cause or By the Executive.
      If the
      Employment Period is terminated (a) by reason of the Executive’s death or
      Disability; (b) by the Company for Cause; or (c) by the Executive (other than
      for a Good Reason); then
      the
      Executive shall only be entitled to receive the Executive’s Base Salary and the
      reimbursement of any applicable expenses pursuant to Section
      4.2
      through
      the Date of Termination, and the Executive shall have no right to any other
      compensation thereafter (including without limitation pursuant to Section
      3.1
      and
3.2
      of this
      Agreement, but not including Section
      5.3).

      connection with this Section
      5.1,
      except
      as otherwise expressly required by applicable law (i.e., COBRA) and provided

      if any, under any of the Company’s employee benefit plans.

    5.2.  Termination
      by the Company Other Than for Death, Disability, or Cause or by the Executive
      for a Good Reason.
      In
      addition to the payment to the Executive of the Executive's Base Salary and
      the
      reimbursement of any applicable expenses pursuant to Section
      4.2
      through
      the Date of Termination, if (a) the Employment Period is terminated (i) by
      the
      Company for reasons other than death, Disability, or Cause, or (ii) by the
      Executive for a Good Reason, or (iii) in accordance with the terms of
Section
      2.1(b)
      hereof
      (provided the Company provides the requisite notice to the Executive to
      terminate prior to any Expiration Date); and (b) the Executive executes a
      general release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
      C (the
      "Release")
      on or
      before the effective Date of Termination; and (c) the Executive has not breached
      the terms of the “Assignment Agreement” (as defined below); then
      the
      Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to the Executive’s Base Salary
      (at the rate in effect at the Date of Termination) for a period commencing
      on
      the Date of Termination and on the Expiration Date; provided,
      however,
      that if
      the Termination Date is within twelve (12) months of the Expiration Date, then
      the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to the Executive’s Base
      Salary (at the rate effective as of the Termination Date), for a period
      commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the first (1st)
      anniversary of the Termination Date. Any payment under this Section
      5.2
      shall be
      made over time as though the Executive continued to be employed by the Company.
      If the Executive elects and remains eligible for health coverage pursuant to
      Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("COBRA")
      (and
      subject to withholding pursuant to Section
      3.5
      above);
then
      commencing within
      fifteen (15) business days following the date on which the Release becomes
      effective pursuant to its terms, the Company will, for a period commencing
      on
      the Date of Termination and ending twelve (12) months from the Date of
      Termination, pay a percentage of the premium for such COBRA health coverage
      equal to the percentage of the premium for health insurance coverage paid by
      the
      Company on the Date of Termination. The Executive shall not be entitled to
      any
      other salary or compensation after termination of the Employment Period (other
      than as set forth in this Section
      5.2
      and
Section
      5.3)
      and no
      Person shall be entitled hereunder to participate in any employee benefit plan
      after the Date of Termination if the Employment Period is terminated in
      connection with this Section
      5.2,
      except
      as otherwise specifically provided hereunder or as required by applicable law
      (i.e., COBRA) and provided
      that
      nothing herein shall be interpreted to limit the Executive’s conversion rights,
      if any, under any of the Company’s employee benefit plans. In furtherance of and
      not in limitation of the foregoing, the Executive may only be terminated by
      the
      affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board (excluding the Executive
      if he
      is a member of the Board).

     

    5.3.  Cooperation
      with Company After Termination of Employment. For
      a
      period of six (6) months following termination of the Employment Period for
      any
      reason, as such period may be extended with the consent of the Executive, the
      Executive shall fully cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to
      the
      winding up of pending work on behalf of the Company including, but not limited
      to, any litigation in which the Company is involved, and the orderly transfer
      of
      any such pending work to other executives of the Company as may be designated
      by
      the Company. The Executive shall be compensated for any time spent pursuant
      to
      this Section
      5.3
      at the
      specific request of the Company at a per diem
      amount
      based upon the Executive's Base Salary at the Date of Termination.

     

    5.4.  Termination
      by Mutual Consent.
      Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section
      5,
      if at
      any time during the course of this Agreement the parties by mutual consent
      decide to terminate it, they shall do so by separate agreement setting forth
      the
      terms and conditions of such termination.

      Agreement"),

      Not-to-Solicit Customers. Subject
      to Section
      7.4
      below,
      during Executive's employment with the Company through the applicable
      Restrictive Period, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly, individually
      or on behalf of any other person or entity, whether as principal, agent,
      stockholder, employee, consultant, representative or in any other capacity,
      solicit any person or entity, that:

     

    (a)  is
      a
      customer or client of the Company or any of its subsidiaries as of the
      Termination Date; or

     

    (b)  has
      been
      a customer or client of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at any time
      within two (2) years prior to the Termination Date; or

     

    (c)  is
      a
      prospective customer or client that the Company or any of its subsidiaries
      is
      actively soliciting as of the Termination Date.

     

    7.2.  Covenant
      Not-to-Solicit Employees.
      Subject
      to Section
      7.4
      below,
      during Executive's employment with the Company and from the Termination Date
      through the applicable Restrictive Period, the Executive shall not directly
      or
      indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person or entity, whether
      as
      principal, agent, stockholder, employee, consultant, representative or in any
      other capacity:

     

    (a)  recruit,
      solicit or encourage any person to leave the employ of the Company or any of
      its
      subsidiaries; or

     

    (b)  hire
      any
      employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries as a regular employee,
      consultant, independent contractor or otherwise.

     

    7.3.  Non-Competition.
      The
      Executive recognizes and acknowledges the competitive and proprietary nature
      of
      the business operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subject to
Section
      7.4
      below,
      during the Executive’s employment with the Company and for the applicable
      Restrictive Period, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent
      of the Company, for himself or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly
      or indirectly, whether as principal, agent, stockholder, employee, consultant,
      representative or in any other capacity, own, manage, operate or control, or be
      concerned, connected or employed by, or otherwise associate in any manner with,
      engage in or have a financial interest in any business that competes with the
      business operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except that
      nothing contained herein shall preclude the Executive from purchasing or owning
      stock in any such competitive business if such stock is publicly traded, and
      provided that his holdings do not exceed one percent (1%) of the issued and
      outstanding capital stock of such business.

    7.4.  Reduction
      and Extension of Restrictions. 

     

    (a)  If
      the
      Termination Date with respect to the Executive’s termination occurs on or before
      the third (3rd)
      anniversary of the Closing Date, then the provisions of Sections
      7.1, 7.2 and 7.3
      above
      apply to Executive regardless of the reason for the termination. If the
      Termination Date with respect to the Executive’s termination occurs after the
      third anniversary of the Closing Date, then the provisions of Sections
      7.1, 7.2 and 7.3
      above
      apply only to terminations made pursuant to Section
      5.1
      and
      shall not apply with respect to terminations made pursuant to Section
      5.2.

     

    (b)  The
      Company at Company’s option, by written notice delivered to Executive not less
      than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current, applicable
      Restrictive Period, may extend the Restrictive Period (as previously extended
      under this Section 7.4(b)) for an additional twelve (12) months, provided that
      Company pays to Executive during the extended Restrictive Period an amount
      equal
      to the Executive’s Base Salary (at the rate effective as of the applicable
      Termination Date and over time and in the manner Executive would have received
      these payments had he continued to be employed by the Company).

     

    7.5.  Non-Disparagement.
      The
      Executive agrees not to make any public statement, or engage in any conduct,
      that is disparaging to the Company, or any of its employees, officers, directors
      or shareholders, including, but not limited to, any statement that disparages
      the products, services, finances, financial condition, capabilities or other
      aspects of the business of the Company. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary
      herein, the Executive shall not be in breach of this Section
      7
      for the
      making of any truthful statements under oath.

     

    7.6.  Reasonableness
      of Restrictions.
      The
      Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section
      7,
      and,
      having done so, agrees (a) that the restrictions set forth herein are
      reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (b)
      that the protection afforded to the Company hereunder is necessary to protect
      its legitimate business interests, (c) that the agreement to observe such
      restrictions form a material part of the consideration for this Agreement and
      the Executive's employment by the Company and (d) that upon the termination
      of
      the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, he will be able to
      earn a livelihood without violating the foregoing restrictions. In the event
      that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the provisions of this Section
      7
      shall be
      held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions thereof shall
      nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or
      unenforceable parts had not been included therein. In the event that any
      provision of this Section relating to the time period and/or the areas of
      restriction and/or related aspects shall be declared by a court of competent
      jurisdiction to exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems reasonable
      and enforceable, the time period and/or areas of restriction and/or related
      aspects deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall become and
      thereafter be the maximum restriction in such regard, and the restriction shall
      remain enforceable to the fullest extent deemed reasonable by such
      court.

    10.  GENERAL
      PROVISIONS

     

    10.1.  Assignment. The
      Company may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder
      in
      whole, but not in part, to any Company or other entity with or into which the
      Company or may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may
      transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said
      company or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume
      all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally
      made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights
      and obligations hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this
      Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
      consent of the Company. Notwithstanding such assignment, the Company shall
      remain a guarantor of the performance of all obligations owed by the Company
      to
      the Executive under this Agreement.

      requested, postage prepaid, or Federal Express, signature required, if to the
      Company, addressed to its corporate headquarters at the time notice is given,
      "Attention Board of Directors"; if to the Executive, addressed to his home
      address as listed in the Company’s records at the time notice is
      given.

     

    10.3.  Amendment
      and Waiver.
      No
      provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment

      of Breach.
      No
      failure by either party to declare a default due to any breach of any obligation
      under this Agreement by the other, nor failure by either party to act quickly
      with regard thereto, shall be considered to be a waiver of any such obligation,
      or of any future breach.

     

    10.5.  Severability.
      In the
      event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to

      Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and
      effect.

     

    10.6.  Governing
      Law.
      To the
      extent not preempted by Federal law, the validity and effect of this Agreement
      and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and
      determined in accordance with the law of the State of Maryland, without giving
      effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether
      of
      the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
      application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
      Maryland.

     

    10.7.  Entire
      Agreement.

      information obtained. The Purchaser has, to the extent deemed necessary by
      the
      Purchaser, consulted with his or her own advisors (including the Purchaser’s
      attorney, accountant or investment advisor) regarding the Purchaser’s investment
      in the FIG Shares and understands the significance and effect of his
      representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this
      Agreement.

            Speculative
              Investment.

          

     

    The
      Purchaser understands that his investment in the FIG Shares entails a high
      degree of risk and that a total loss of the Purchaser’s investment in the FIG
      Shares is possible. The Purchaser understands that his acquisition of the FIG
      Shares will be a highly speculative investment.

     

    	4.6  	
            Representations
              and Warranties by FIG.

          

     

    The
      Purchaser acknowledges that neither FIG, nor any of its officers, directors,
      representatives or affiliates, nor any other person or entity, has made any
      representations or warranties, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein,
      with respect to FIG, its or its affiliates’ businesses, or the FIG
      Shares.

     

    	4.7  	
            Restricted
              Securities.

          

     

    Purchaser
      understands that (a) the FIG Shares are being offered in a transaction not
      involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the
      Securities Act, (b) the FIG Shares have not been registered under the Securities
      Act (in reliance upon an exemption from the Registration Requirements of the
      Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof), (c) the FIG Shares have not
      been registered under applicable state securities laws, and (d) Purchaser may
      not resell, pledge or otherwise transfer any such FIG Shares unless registered
      under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (FIG being under
      no obligation to so do, except as provided in the Registration Rights
      Agreement). 

     

    	4.8  	
            Legends.

          

     

    Purchaser
      understands that the FIG Shares, and any securities issued in respect thereof
      or
      exchanged therefor, may bear the following legend until such time, if any,
      as
      (a) the FIG Shares or such securities (i) are sold in compliance with Rule
      144
      under the Securities Act (or a comparable successor provision) or pursuant
      to an
      effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant
      to
      Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or a comparable successor provision),
      or
      (b) FIG receives an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to it to the effect
      that such legend may be removed:

     

    “THE
      SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
      SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND MAY NOT BE
      OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN
      EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE
      WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED
      STATES.”

    EXHIBIT
      B

    

    SEPARATION
      FROM EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

     

    1. This
      agreement is between the Executive, Gerard J. Gallagher, the Executive’s spouse,
      family, agents and attorneys) (jointly, the "Executive") and Fortress
      International Group, Inc. (the "Company"), its subsidiaries, affiliated
      entities, direct or indirect owners and its and their respective officers,
      directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, purchasers, assigns,
      representatives, fiduciaries, and insurers (jointly, the "Released
      Parties").

    2. If
      the
      Executive signs this agreement and does not revoke it, the Executive will
      receive the applicable severance payments and benefits set forth in Section
      5
      of the
      Executive’s Executive Employment Agreement, dated __________ _____, 2006 (the
      "Employment Agreement").

    3. The
      Executive, deeming this Agreement to be fair, reasonable, and equitable, and
      intending to be legally bound hereby, agrees to and hereby does, forever and
      irrevocably fully release and discharge the Released Parties from any and all
      grievances, liens, suits, judgments, claims, demands, debts, defenses, actions
      or causes of action, obligations, damages (whether compensatory, punitive or
      otherwise), and liabilities whatsoever which the Executive now has, has had,
      or
      may have, whether the same be known or unknown, vested or contingent, at law,
      in
      equity, or mixed, in any way arising out of or relating in any way to any
      matter, act, occurrence, or transaction before the date of this General Release
      Agreement, including but not limited to his employment with Company, the
      Executive's separation from Company and the Executive's employment agreement
      with the Company (collectively, "Claims"). This
      is a General Release.
      The
      Executive expressly acknowledges that this General Release includes, but is
      not
      limited to, the Executive's release of any tort and contract claims, arbitration
      claims, claims under any local, state or federal wage and hour law, wage
      collection law or labor relations law, and claims of age, race, sex, religion,
      disability, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, retaliation or any other
      claim of employment discrimination, under the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and
      1991
      as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq.),
      the
      Age Discrimination In Employment Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et
      seq.),
      the
      Americans With Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et seq.),
      the
      Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. §§ 701 et seq.),
      the
      Family and Medical Leave Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 2601 et seq.),
      the
      Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 201 et seq.),
      and
      any other law prohibiting employment discrimination or relating to employment.
      Also, the Executive understands that this General Release Agreement is not
      an
      admission of liability under any statute or otherwise by the Released Parties,
      and that the Released Parties do not admit but deny any violation of his legal
      rights, and that he shall not be regarded as a prevailing party for any purpose,
      including but not limited to, determining responsibility for or entitlement
      to
      attorneys’ fees, under any statute or otherwise. The Executive agrees that in
      the event the Executive brings a Claim in which the Executive seeks damages
      or
      other relief from any Released Party, or in the event the Executive seeks to
      recover against any Released Party in any Claim brought by a governmental agency
      on the Executive’s behalf, this Agreement shall serve as a complete defense to
      such Claims.

    4. The
      claims and causes of action the Executive is releasing and waiving include,
      but
      are not limited to, any and all claims and causes of action that any Released
      Party:

    ·  has
      violated its personnel policies, handbooks, contracts of employment, or
      covenants of good faith and fair dealing between the Executive and the
      Company;

     

    ·  has
      discriminated against the Executive on the basis of age, race, color, sex
      (including sexual harassment), national origin, ancestry, disability, religion,
      sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, source of income,
      entitlement to benefits, any union activities or other protected category in
      violation of any local, state or federal law, constitution, ordinance, or
      regulation, including but not limited to: the Age Discrimination in Employment
      Act, as amended; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; 42
      U.S.C. § 1981, as amended; the Equal Pay Act; the Americans With
      Disabilities Act; the Family Medical Leave Act; the Employee Retirement Income
      Security Act; Section 510; and the National Labor Relations Act.

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
        -
          2
          -

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    ·  has
      violated any statute, public policy or common law (including but not limited
      to
      claims for retaliatory discharge; negligent hiring, retention or supervision;
      defamation; intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress and/or
      mental anguish; intentional interference with contract; negligence; and/or
      detrimental reliance).

     

    5. Excluded
      from this Agreement are any claims which cannot be waived by law. The Executive
      is waiving, however, the Executive’s right to any monetary recovery should any
      agency, such as the EEOC, pursue any claims on the Executive’s
      behalf.

    6. The
      Executive also agrees that the Executive has been paid for all hours worked,
      including any overtime bonus or other incentive compensation, has submitted
      all
      invoices and expense reports, and has not
      suffered any on-the-job injury for which the Executive has not already filed
      a
      claim.

    7. The
      Executive agrees that every term of this Agreement, including, but not limited
      to, the fact that an agreement has been reached and the amount paid, shall
      be
      treated by the Executive as strictly confidential, and expressly covenants
      not
      to display, publish, disseminate, or disclose the terms of this Agreement to
      any
      person or entity other than the Executive’s immediate family, the Executive’s
      attorney(s) (for purposes of seeking advice concerning this agreement only)
      and
      the Employee’s accountant(s) (for purposes of seeking tax advice only), unless
      compelled to make disclosure by lawful court order or subpoena. 

    8. The
      Executive and the Company have entered into an Assignment of Invention,
      Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement ("NDA
      Agreement"). The Executive reaffirms his obligation to comply with all of the
      post termination obligations in the NDA Agreement.

    9. The
      Executive also agrees that:

    ·  The
      Executive is entering into this agreement knowingly and
      voluntarily;

     

    ·  The
      Executive has been advised by the Company to consult an attorney;

     

    ·  The
      Executive has been given the right to take [21/45]
      days
      (the "Consideration Period") to consider this agreement; provided, however
      the
      Employee and the Company hereby agree that if there is a dispute as to the
      payment of wages such that the Executive is unable to make the representation
      set forth in Section
      6
      as to
      payment for hours worked (including any overtime bonus or other incentive
      compensation), the Consideration Period shall terminate on the later of the
      natural expiration of the Consideration Period or the date that is one day
      after
      the resolution of all claims regarding wages;

     

    ·  But
      for
      the Executive's execution of this agreement, the Executive would not otherwise
      be entitled to the payments described in paragraph 2;

     

    ·  if
      any
      part of this agreement is found to be illegal or invalid, the rest of the
      agreement will be enforceable; and

     

    ·  this
      agreement has been individually negotiated between the Executive and the Company
      and is not part of a group exit incentive or other group employment termination
      program. The Executive and the Company agree that the sole reason for the
      termination of the Executive’s employment is a business reorganization and
      reduction in force of the Company’s [INSERT DEPARTMENT OR JOB CLASSIFICATION]
      which is occurring on [INSERT DATE]. All individuals who are being terminated
      in
      the [INSERT DATE] reduction in force will be eligible for benefits based upon
      their execution of a release identical to this release. The Executive
      acknowledges by signing this Agreement that the Executive understands that
      the
      Executive is eligible for the benefits which the Executive will receive
      contingent upon the Executive executing this release, because the Executive
      was
      part of this reduction in force. As is more fully set forth in Attachment B,
      this reduction in force will affect [NUMBER AFFECTED] other executives on
      [DATE].

     

    10. After
      the
      Executive signs this agreement, the Executive will have 7 days to revoke it.
      If
      the Executive wants to revoke it, the Executive should deliver a written
      revocation to __________ . If the Executive does not revoke it, the Executive
      will receive the payment described in Paragraph 2.

    AND
      CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

     

    

    The

      relationship with the Company.

    

    1.            
      I
      understand and agree that my employment by the Company creates a duty of loyalty
      and a relationship of confidence and trust between me and the Company with
      respect to any information made known to me by the Company or by any client,
      customer or vendor of the Company or other person who submits information to
      the
      Company, or which may be learned by me during the period of my
      employment.

     

    2.           
      I
      recognize that the Company is continuously engaged in activities that the

      and will, in the future, continue to possess information that has been or will
      be created, discovered, developed or otherwise becomes known to the Company
      (including information created by, discovered or developed by, or made known
      to
      me) during the period of or arising out of my employment by the Company. I
      understand that various intellectual and other property rights have been
      assigned or otherwise conveyed to the Company. All information concerning the
      above described activities and information is collectively called "Proprietary
      Information" under this Agreement.

     

    3.           
      By
      way of
      illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information includes: trade
      secrets, processes, formulas, data and know-how; software programs,
      improvements, and inventions; research and development plans, tools and
      techniques; new product introduction plans, specifications, requirements
      documents and strategies; manufacturing techniques, strategies and costs,
      expenses, supplier information and lists and distribution information; terms
      and
      conditions in contracts of all kinds; marketing plans, strategies and service;
      support strategies and procedures; development schedules; revenue forecasts;
      computer programs; copyrightable material, employee salaries, employee
      expertise, employee ability levels, training programs and procedures, copies
      of
      memos or presentations incorporating confidential information which I may have
      in my files (including those which I authored), patent applications and
      disclosures and customer lists.

    4.           
      In
      consideration of my employment by the Company and the compensation received
      by
      me from the Company from time to time, I hereby agree as follows:

     

    (a)          
      All
      Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company, and the
      Company shall be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights, trademarks and
      other
      rights related to Proprietary Information. I hereby assign to the Company any
      rights I may have or acquire in Proprietary Information. At all times, both
      during and after my employment by the Company, I will keep in confidence and
      trust all Proprietary Information, and I will not use or disclose any
      Proprietary Information or anything related to it without written consent of
      the
      Company, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing my
      duties to the Company.

     

    (b)          
      All
      documents, records, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether
      or
      not pertaining to Proprietary Information, furnished to me by the Company or
      produced by myself or others in connection with employment by the Company shall
      be and remain the sole property of the Company, shall be used by me solely
      for
      the benefit of the Company and shall be returned to the Company immediately
      as
      and when requested by the Company. Even if the Company does not so request,
      I
      shall return and deliver all such property to the Company upon termination
      of my
      employment by me or by the Company for any reason. I will not take with me
      any
      such property or any form of copy or reproduction of such property upon my
      termination.

     

    (c)           I
      will
      promptly disclose to the Company, or any persons designated by it, all
      improvements, inventions, formulas, ideas, processes, techniques, know-how
      and
      data, whether or not patentable, made or conceived or reduced to practice or
      learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my
      employment (all said improvements, inventions, formulas, ideas, processes,
      techniques, know-how and data shall be hereinafter collectively call
      "Inventions").

     

    (d)         
      I
      agree
      that all Inventions that I develop or have developed (in whole or in part,
      either alone or jointly with others) and (i) use or have used equipment,
      supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the Company, or (ii) use
      or
      have used the hours for which I am to be or was compensated by the Company,
      or
      (iii) which relate to the business of the Company or to its actual or
      demonstrably anticipated research and development or (iv) which result, in
      whole
      or in part, from work performed by me for the Company shall be the sole property
      of the Company and its assigns, and the Company and its assigns shall be the
      sole owner of all patents, copyrights and other rights in connection therewith.
      I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such
      Inventions. I further agree as to all such inventions and improvements to assist
      the Company in every proper way (but at the Company’s expense) to obtain and
      from time to time enforce patents, copyrights or other rights on said inventions
      and improvements in any and all countries, and to that end I will execute all
      documents in use for applying for and obtaining such patents and copyrights
      thereon and enforcing same, as the Company may desire, together with any
      assignments thereof to the Company or persons designated by it. My obligation
      to
      assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing patents, copyrights or other
      rights for such inventions and improvements in any and all countries shall
      continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall
      compensate me at a reasonable rate after such termination for time actually
      spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance.

    (e)          
      In
      the
      event that the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure my
      signature to any lawful and necessary document required to apply for or execute
      any patent, copyright or other applications with respect to such inventions
      and
      improvements (including renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions or
      continuations in part thereof), I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint
      the
      Company and its authorized officers and agents, as my agents and
      attorneys-in-fact, this power of attorney being coupled with an interest, to
      act
      for and in my behalf and instead of me, to execute and file any such application
      and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and
      issuance of patents, copyrights or other rights thereon with the same legal
      force and effect as if executed by me.

     

    (f)          
      As
      a
      matter of record, on Attachment
      A,
      I have
      attached a complete list of all inventions or improvements relevant to the
      subject matter of my employment by the Company which have been made or conceived
      or first reduced to practice by me alone or jointly with others prior to my
      employment with the Company that I desire to remove from the operation of this
      Agreement, and I covenant that such list is complete. If no such list is signed
      by me and attached to this Agreement, I represent and warrant that I have no
      such inventions or improvements at the time of signing this Agreement, and
      I
      agree that I will make no claim against the Company with respect to any such
      inventions or ideas.

     

    (g)           I
      represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach
      any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me
      in
      confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered
      into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral
      in
      conflict with this Agreement.

     

    (h)           I
      acknowledge that the Company from time to time may be involved in government
      projects of a classified nature. I further acknowledge that the Company from
      time to time may have agreements with other persons or governmental agencies
      which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions
      made during the course of work thereunder or regarding the confidential nature
      of such work or information disclosed in connection therewith. I agree to be
      bound by all such obligations and restrictions and to take all action necessary
      to discharge the obligations of the Company thereunder.

    (i)           
      I
      represent and warrant that execution of this Agreement, my employment with
      the
      Company and my performance of my proposed duties to the Company in the
      development of its business have not and will not violate any obligations which
      I may have to any former employer.

     

    
      	 	
              (j)

            	
              I
                agree that at no time during my employment by the Company or thereafter
                shall I make, or cause or assist any other person to make, any statement
                or other communication to any third party which impugns or attacks,
                or is
                otherwise critical of, the reputation, business or character of the
                Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors,
                officers or employees.

            

    

     

    5.            
      This
      Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of my employment by the
      Company.

     

    6.           
      This
      Agreement may not be changed, modified, released, discharged, abandoned or
      otherwise amended, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing,
      signed by myself and a majority of the members of the Board.
      I
      agree that any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation
      shall not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

     

    7.            
      I
      acknowledge receipt of this Agreement and agree that with respect to the subject
      matter hereof it is my final, complete and exclusive agreement with the Company,
      superseding any previous oral or written representations, understanding or
      agreements with the Company or any officer or representative with respect to
      the
      subject matter herein.

     

    8.            
      In
      the
      event that any paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall be held to be
      illegal or unenforceable, such paragraph or provision shall be modified to
      the
      extent necessary to give effect to the intent of the parties or, if necessary,
      severed from this Agreement and the entire Agreement shall not fail on account
      thereof, but shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

     

    9.           
      This
      Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
      Maryland without regard to its choice of law principles.

     

    10.         
      This
      Agreement shall be binding upon me, my heirs, executors, assigns, and
      administrators and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors
      and
      assigns.

     

    I
      acknowledge that the foregoing restrictions contained in Section
      4
      are
      reasonable in all respects including the scope, duration and geographic
      limitations. I agree that the restrictions are an appropriate means of
      protecting the Company’s legitimate business interests, and no greater than
      necessary to protect the Company’s interests. I acknowledge that these
      restrictions will not unreasonably interfere with my ability to make a
      living.
