     The parties agree as follows:

Section 1:     Scope of Work.      Consultant shall:

          A)   Serve as the Chairman of the Compliance Committee of the Company,
               and otherwise to provide  advice and assistance to the Company on
               matters  of  regulatory  compliance  and such  other  matters  as
               requested by the President and CEO of the Company.

Section 2:     Compensation.

          A)   In consideration of Consultant's  performing  services hereunder,
               the Company  shall pay  Consultant  an annual fee of $100,000 for
               chairing the Compliance Committee and for related activities. The
               annual fee is payable in equal monthly installments within twenty
               (20) days after the end of each  calendar  month  during the term
               hereof.

          B)   In addition, Consultant shall receive $1,000 per day for each day
               of services in  assisting  the Company in other  agreed  specific

               description of the services rendered during the preceding month.

          C)   The Company shall reimburse Consultant's actual expenses incurred

               documentation  to support  each  expense  payable  within 15 days
               after the end of each month. Such reimbursement of expenses shall
               be in accordance with existing Company policy.  Rather than phone

               similar type services as provided  hereunder  which conflict with
               the  interests  of the  Company.  Consultant  also  agrees not to
               disclose,  either  during  the term  hereof  or  thereafter,  any
               unpublished or confidential  proprietary  information  concerning
               the business of the Company

                                                                               1
