      Within sixty (60) days after the beginning of each fiscal year beginning with

      shall
      pay the Executive a Bonus equal to (i) no less than Thirty Seven Thousand Five

      or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Paragraphs 5, 6 or 7 of this

      the form of specific performance, preliminary or permanent injunction, temporary
      restraining order or any other appropriate equitable remedy which may then

      consider the restrictions contained in Paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 to be reasonable
      for the purpose of preserving the Company&#8217;s goodwill and other proprietary
      rights, if a final judicial determination is made by a court having jurisdiction
      that the time and scope of the restrictions in such Paragraphs is an
      unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against the Executive,
      the
      provisions of such Paragraphs shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed
      amended to apply as to the maximum time and scope permitted and to such other

      The
      Bonus for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 shall be based upon targets
      mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Executive by November 1, 2006.
      Within sixty (60) days after the beginning of the fiscal year ending December
      31, 2007, the Board shall establish the Targets for that fiscal year such that
      (i) upon achieving the first threshold for all of the Targets, the Company
      will
      pay the Executive a Bonus equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Salary; (ii)
      upon
      achieving the second threshold (which requires meeting the annual plan for
      all
      of the Targets) for all of the Targets, the Company will pay the Executive
      a
      Bonus equal to sixty percent (60%) of the Salary; and (iii) upon achieving
      the
      third threshold for all of the Targets (which requires exceeding, in a
      significant manner, the annual plan for all of the Targets), the Company will
      pay the Executive a Bonus equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Salary. All
      Targets and Bonus threshold levels will be determined by the Board in good
      faith
      after consultation with the Executive. Additional Bonuses, if any, shall be
      determined on an annual basis or otherwise as determined by the Board in its
      sole discretion. All Bonuses are subject to the Company&#8217;s ordinary payroll
      practices and payable within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal year.
      In the event that the Executive is not employed by the Company as its Executive
      Chairman at the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 because the
      term
      of this Agreement is not extended, the Bonus will be payable to the Executive
      on
      a pro-rata basis based on the number of days the Executive was employed by
      the
      Company as compared to the total number of days in the year.</font></div>

      The

      Company and that Executive&#8217;s services have been and will be of special, unique
      and extraordinary value to the Company. The Executive hereby agrees that during
      the Employment Period and the Survival Period, the Executive shall not, directly
      or indirectly, anywhere in the entire United States and Europe, own, manage,
      operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or

      representation of products or the provision of services identical or similar
      to
      the products and services manufactured, sold, represented or provided by the
      Company, and which products or services are marketed to the same customer base
      as the products or services offered by the Company, at any time during the
      Employment Period or the Survival Period, or which are included in any business
      plans of the Company in existence and under consideration during the Employment
      Period and of which Executive was aware. The foregoing shall not preclude
      Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2.0% of the outstanding
      stock of any class of stock of any corporation which is publicly traded and
      competes with the Company, so long as Executive has no active participation

      The

      this
      Agreement are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required in order to
      protect and maintain the proprietary interests of the Company described above,
      other legitimate business interests of Company and the goodwill associated

      the business of the Company, and (ii) that the time, scope, geographic area
      and

      sophisticated commercial parties, represented by legal counsel, and are given
      as
      an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
      Accordingly, you agree not to contest the validity or enforceability of any
      provision of this Agreement and agree that if any court should hold any

      The
      Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company&#8217;s remedy at law for a breach
      or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Paragraphs 5, 6 or 7 of this
      Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of that fact, in the event
      of
      a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of
      Paragraphs 5, 6 or 7 of this Agreement, it is agreed that in addition to its
      remedy at law, the Company shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief
      in
      the form of specific performance, preliminary or permanent injunction, temporary
      restraining order or any other appropriate equitable remedy which may then
      be
      available. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
      it
      is expressly understood and agreed that, although the Executive and the Company
      consider the restrictions contained in Paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 to be reasonable
      for the purpose of preserving the Company&#8217;s goodwill and other proprietary
      rights, if a final judicial determination is made by a court having jurisdiction
      that the time and scope of the restrictions in such Paragraphs is an
      unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against the Executive,
      the
      provisions of such Paragraphs shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed
      amended to apply as to the maximum time and scope permitted and to such other
      extent as the court may determine to be reasonable. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, in the event the Company breaches any of its payment obligations
      under Section 4 of this Agreement (</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">provided
      the Executive has given the Company written notice specifying the nature of

      Advisor
      acknowledges that he has substantial experience and expertise, that in the
      course of providing services to the Company he has and will become familiar
      with
      the Company&#8217;s trade secrets and with other confidential information concerning
      the Company and that Advisor&#8217;s services have been and will be of special, unique
      and extraordinary value to the Company. Advisor hereby agrees that during the
      Term and the Survival Period, Advisor shall not, directly or indirectly,
      anywhere in the entire United States and Europe, own, manage, operate, control
      or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be
      connected as an officer, employee, partner, director, independent contractor
      or
      in any other capacity with, or have any financial interest in, or aid or assist
      anyone else in the manufacture, sale or representation of products or the
      provision of services identical or similar to the products and services
      manufactured, sold, represented or provided by the Company, and which products
      or services are marketed to the same customer base as the products or services
      offered by the Company, at any time during the Term or Advisor&#8217;s prior
      employment by the Company, or which are included in any business plans of the
      Company in existence and under consideration during the Term or Advisor&#8217;s prior
      employment by the Company and of which Advisor was aware. The foregoing shall
      not preclude Advisor from being a passive owner of not more than 2.0% of the
      outstanding stock of any class of stock of any corporation which is publicly
      traded and competes with the Company, so long as Advisor has no active
      participation in the business of such corporation.</font></div>

      The
      Parties acknowledge that (i) the type and periods of restriction imposed in
      this
      Agreement are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required in order to
      protect and maintain the proprietary interests of the Company described above,
      other legitimate business interests of Company and the goodwill associated
      with
      the business of the Company, and (ii) that the time, scope, geographic area
      and
      other provisions of this Agreement have been specifically negotiated by
      sophisticated commercial parties, represented by legal counsel, and are given
      as
      an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
      Accordingly, Advisor agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of
      any
      provision of this Agreement and agrees that if any court should hold any
      provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will
      nonetheless be enforceable according to their terms.</font></div>

      Advisor
      acknowledges and agrees that the Company&#8217;s remedy at law for a breach or
      threatened breach of any of the provisions of Paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 of this
      Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of that fact, in the event
      of
      a breach or threatened breach by Advisor of any of the provisions of Paragraphs
      7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement, it is agreed that in addition to its remedy at
      law, the Company shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in the form
      of specific performance, preliminary or permanent injunction, temporary
      restraining order or any other appropriate equitable remedy which may then
      be
      available. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
      it
      is expressly understood and agreed that, although Advisor and the Company
      consider the restrictions contained in Paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 to be reasonable
      for the purpose of preserving the Company&#8217;s goodwill and other proprietary
      rights, if a final judicial determination is made by a court having jurisdiction
      that the time and scope of the restrictions in such Paragraphs is an
      unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against Advisor, the
      provisions of such Paragraphs shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed
      amended to apply as to the maximum time and scope permitted and to such other
      extent as the court may determine to be reasonable. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, in the event the Company breaches any of its payment obligations
      under Section 4 of this Agreement (</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">provided
      Advisor has given the Company written notice specifying the nature of such
      breach and a period of at least thirty (30) days to cure such
      breach)</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">,
      Advisor&#8217;s obligations under Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall terminate
      and be of no further force and effect after the expiration of such thirty (30)
      day period if the Company has not cured such breach.</font></div>

      OPTIONS</strong></font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">.
      As of
      the Effective Date, the options to purchase the Company&#8217;s common stock granted
      to Advisor pursuant to the Employment Agreement shall be deemed vested with
      respect to all 800,000 shares. As of the Effective Date, the options to purchase
      the Company&#8217;s common stock granted to Advisor on July 20, 2006 shall be deemed
      vested with respect to 325,000 shares and options to purchase 325,000 shares
      of
      the Company&#8217;s common stock shall be deemed to have lapsed unexercised. Any
      options to purchase the Company&#8217;s common stock owned by Advisor that have not
      lapsed may be exercised through January 31, 2008 (the &#8220;Option Expiration Date&#8221;).
      After the Option Expiration Date, all of Advisor&#8217;s unexercised stock options
      shall expire and be cancelled. During the period commencing on the Effective
      Date and through and including the Option Expiration Date, Advisor may exercise
      his vested stock options either for cash or on a cashless basis. Except as
      set
      forth in this Paragraph 12, any of the Advisor&#8217;s unvested stock options shall be
      immediately cancelled as of the Effective Date. </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">Cashless
      means the Advisor may exercise stock options without first paying to the Company
      the aggregate strike price, which is defined as the strike price times the
      number of option-shares being exercised. For purposes of this Agreement, a
      &#8220;cashless&#8221; basis exercise means that Advisor as part of an option exercise is
      permitted to trade option-shares of Company common stock in exchange for actual
      shares of Company common stock using the Advisor stock option exercise by using
      the &#8220;spread&#8221; between the strike price and market price to cover the aggregate
      strike price that is required to be paid with regard to such option exercise.
      This is represented with the following formula: the difference between the
      strike price and market price, divided by the market price. For example, if
      the
      Advisor exercises an option on one share of Company common stock, having a
      strike price of $0.25, when the then-market price of Company common stock is
      $1.00, the Advisor would receive &#190; of one share of Company common stock in
      return (</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman"><em>i.e.</em></font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">
      [($1.00-$.25)/$1.00)]). The Company shall include (i) the foregoing shares,
      and
      (ii) the shares into which the foregoing options, and all other options held
      by
      Advisor which are vested, may be exercised, on the next Form S-8 registration
      statement which the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission
      (or equivalent to register shares and options held by employees, executives
      and
      other agents of the Company).</font></div>
