I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Company and AGI desire

WHEREAS, Executive is agreeable to
rendering such services to the Company and AGI on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

Term, Duties and Acceptance
(a)
Company hereby retains Executive as Company's Senior Vice President of Marketing
for a period of three (3) years, commencing on the date hereof (the "Employment
Period"), to render his services to Company upon the terms and conditions herein
contained, in such executive capacity. In such executive capacity, Executive
shall be primarily responsible for the operation of the Company and report and
be responsible to AGI’s Chief Executive Officer, its’ President and its’ Board
of Directors. Executive also agrees to serve as AGI’s Senior Vice
President of its’ USHBG division.
(b)
Executive hereby accepts the foregoing employment and agrees to render his
services to the Company and AGI on a full-time basis in such a manner as to
reflect his best efforts to the end that the Company's operations are properly
managed. In furtherance of Executive performing the duties assigned to him under
this Agreement, AGI agrees to provide Executive with AGI’s support staff and a
Company staff reasonably required by Executive so as to enable him to carry out
such duties.
2. Compensation
34
(a)
During the first annual term of this Agreement, Executive shall receive
compensation of 250,000.00 dollars. This compensation may, at
Executive's election, be accrued, in whole or in part. Executive’s compensation
shall be payable in accordance with the general payroll practices of the Company
as are from time to time, in effect, less such deductions or amounts as shall be
required to be withheld by applicable law or regulation. On each yearly
anniversary date of the execution of this Agreement (hereinafter
sometimes called the "Anniversary Date," in each yearly instance) AGI’s Board of
Directors shall review the services provided by Executive to determine the
amount that Executive's salary shall be increased for the forthcoming yearly
period. Such increase shall be no less than the Consumer Price Index or such
other similar index reflective of the cost of living increase in the Ft.
Lauderdale metropolitan area from the beginning of the yearly period to the end
of the yearly period with respect to the Consumer Price Index applicable to the
said metropolitan area, times Executive's base compensation in effect during the
said yearly period. The sum resulting by way of this increase to the Executive's
base compensation shall, for the then immediately succeeding period be
considered the Executive's base compensation. AGI’s Board of Directors shall
also determine on an annual (fiscal or calendar year, as the case may be) basis,
the amount, if any, of bonus or incentives to be paid to Executive.
(b) By
way of sign on bonus, the Executive will receive a warrant to purchase 500,000
shares of AGI’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 at an exercise price of
$1.00 per share. This warrant shall vest as follows:
25% On
commencement of employment
25% On
first anniversary of commencement date
25% On
second anniversary of commencement date
25% On
third anniversary of commencement date
The
Executive must be employed by the Company pursuant to this agreement on each
vesting day otherwise any unvested portion of the warrant will be
forfeited.
(c) Unless executive is otherwise
covered, during the Employment Period, the Company agrees to obtain and pay for
the Company’s standard health insurance policy afforded other Executives of
AGI.
(d) Executive shall be entitled to
reasonable paid vacation time, sick leave and time to attend professional
meetings comparable to that offered the executives in comparable
positions. For the first year of the term of this Agreement,
reasonable vacation time shall be deemed to mean five (5) weeks.
(e) Company shall pay or reimburse
Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of services under
this Agreement during the Employment Period, upon presentation of expense
statements, vouchers or such other supporting documentation as may reasonably be
required.
35
3. Disability
(a) Upon
the disability, as defined in subparagraph 3(b) hereof, of Executive during the
Employment Period, Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate Executive's
employment; provided that if the Company elects to so terminate Executive's
employment, Executive shall be entitled to receive, accrued but unpaid salary,
expense reimbursement and bonuses, the proceeds of any disability insurance
policy plus an amount from the Company monthly which, when added to the amount
received by the Executive from any disability policy in effect for the Executive
at the time of his disability will equal the Executive's salary for a
twelve-month period following the date of termination, as if the termination had
not occurred. Such termination shall have no effect on the Company's obligation
to pay the special bonus referred to hereinbefore. Provided, however, in the
event Executive partially perform and discharge the duties previously performed
by him for Company, nothing herein shall prevent the Executive from continuing
his duties in a part-time capacity, at a level of Compensation to be determined
at that time.
(b) For
purposes of this Agreement the term "disability" shall mean Executive's
inability to continue to materially and substantially perform and discharge the
duties previously required of him on behalf of the Company for an aggregate
period exceeding three (3) consecutive months within any twelve (12) month
consecutive period.
(c) In
the event of a dispute between the parties as to what constitutes a disability,
such dispute shall be finally determined by a person mutually agreed upon by
Executive and Company. If a mutually acceptable person cannot be selected, such
designations shall be made by Executive and Company each choosing a person,
which person shall then mutually select a third person (collectively called the
"panel"). The panel's determination shall be made by majority vote and such
determination shall be deemed binding and conclusive. The parties agree to fully
cooperate with whatever procedures and examinations may be required in order to
allow the panel to make its determination.
4. Termination
of Employment
(a) (i)
In the event Fifty (50) Percent or more of the equity securities of AGI are

promissory notes, preferred stock or subordinated debentures given as
consideration at their face value, and valuing any other assets given as
consideration at their fair market value) and in the further event that
Executive's employment is terminated within twelve (12) months following such
event, except if such termination is by reason of "cause" (as that term is
defined at paragraph 4(b) hereafter, or (ii) in the event Executive terminates
his employment by reason of the uncured breach of this Agreement by Company
("cause"), then, on the termination date, Company shall pay (or issue, as the

accrued but unpaid salary, if any; (ii) accrued but unpaid expenses, if any;
(iii) accrued but unpaid bonuses, if any; (iv) unissued warrants, if any; and
(v) the total compensation which would have been paid to Executive through the
longer of (i) the remaining term, if any, of the Employment Period, or (ii)
three (3) years compensation. Additionally, as of the termination date,

full extent of the shares covered thereby (if said rights had not otherwise
matured or vested), shall forthwith mature and vest and Executive shall have the
right to exercise his rights under any such securities. If the Executive intends
to terminate his employment with the Company and/or AGI for "cause", the "cause"
shall be specified in a written notice sent by Executive to the Company, and the
Company shall be afforded fifteen (15) days or longer, if reasonably required,
to cure such breach, if such breach is capable of being cured.
36
(b) In
the event of misconduct in office by Executive in the performance of his duties
hereunder or if Executive is unable and/or unwilling to carry out the duties
reasonably assigned to him by the Company, which duties are consistent with
duties generally assigned and/or expected of presidents in companies of
comparable size to AGI (which shall hereinafter be referred to as "Termination
for Cause"), AGI may terminate this Agreement by giving two (2) weeks prior
written notice to Executive identifying the cause of termination and specifying
the effective date of such termination. If Executive is subjected to Termination
for Cause, then such "cause" shall be specified in such notice and Executive
shall be afforded thirty (30) days or longer, if reasonably required, to cause
such breach, if such breach is capable of being cured. On the termination date
Company shall pay to Executive the aggregate of (i) accrued but unpaid expenses,
if any (ii) accrued but unpaid bonuses, if any; and (iii) the net salary
compensation which would have been paid to Executive through the date of
termination. Furthermore, in that event any warrants to be issued pursuant to
this Agreement, and any options granted pursuant to plans then applicable to
Executive which have not then vested shall be forfeited as of the termination
date.
(c) In

director of the Company, if any, shall automatically end as of the date of his
resignation or termination of employment.
