         WHEREAS, the Employee and the Company previously entered into an
employment arrangement whereby the Company retained the services of the Employee

Compensation and is owed by the Company an additional $230,000; and

         WHEREAS, the Parties desire to modify the employment arrangement
between them so as to provide for payment of the Compensation in shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $.001, having an aggregate market value as of
the date hereof equal to the remaining $230,000 of the Compensation owed to the
Employee by the Company.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
herein contained, and other valid consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

preceding the date of this Agreement.

         2. The Employee agrees to accept such 286,426 shares of common stock in
full satisfaction of the $230,000 of Compensation owed the Employee by the
Company. The Employee acknowledges that the Company owes it no additional
Compensation for any services rendered by Employee to the Company to date.

         3. The Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more
certificates representing 286,426 shares of its common stock in the name of the
Employee and shall cause such certificates to be delivered to the Employee
within a reasonable period of time following the execution of this Agreement.

         4. The Company expressly agrees to register, with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the shares of common stock issued pursuant hereto in a
registration statement on Form S-8, if and when available (and all related
