area of knowledge and expertise on the terms and subject to the

information, evaluation and consulting services to the Client in her

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for those services Consultant
provides to Client, the parties agree as follows:
1. Services of Consultant.
Consultant agrees to assist Client in identifying prospective
rooftop, making introductions, in identified geographic areas, and
marketing to these areas through ISP's, retailers, and direct
distributors. As such Consultant will provide bona fide services to

connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction, and will not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a
market for Client's securities.
2. Consideration.
Client agrees to pay Consultant, as his fee and as consideration
for services provided, 476,652 shares of the Client's restricted
common stock, subject to any adjustments on account of stock splits,
and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of FGWC common stock
(500,000 shares at $0.25 and 500,000 shares at $0.50), with no
adjustments on account of stock splits. The shares underlying the
warrants have been registered in the Client's Form S-8 and shall be
free trading common stock.

information that is confidential or of a proprietary nature may be

codes, product designs, sales, costs and other unpublished financial
information, advertising revenues, usage rates, advertising
relationships, projections, and marketing data ("Confidential

disclosure, or thereafter becomes part of the public domain through a
source other than the receiving party, (b) was known to the receiving
party as of the time of its disclosure, (c) is independently developed
by the receiving party , or (d) is subsequently learned from a third
party not under a confidentiality obligation to the providing party.

of the due date. Failure of Client to finally pay any fees within
fifteen (15) days after the applicable due date shall be deemed a
material breach of this Agreement, justifying suspension of the
performance of the "Services" provided by Consultant, will be
sufficient cause for immediate termination of this Agreement by
Consultant. Any such suspension will in no way relieve Client from
payment of fees, and, in the event of collection enforcement, Client
shall be liable for any costs associated with such collection,
including, but not limited to, legal costs, attorneys' fees, courts
costs, and collection agency fees.
5. Indemnification.

would constitute a breach of any of Client's representations,
warranties, or agreements hereunder, or (iii) arises out of the
negligence or willful misconduct of Client, or any Client Content to
be provided by Client and does not violate any rights of third
parties, including, without limitation, rights of publicity, privacy,
patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and/or licenses.
(b) Consultant.
Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend, and shall hold harmless
Client, its directors, employees and agents, and defend any action

willful misconduct of Consultant.

shall promptly provide the indemnifying party with written notice of
any claim, which the indemnified party believes falls within the scope
of the foregoing paragraphs. The indemnified party may, at its
expense, assist in the defense if it so chooses, provided that the
indemnifying party shall control such defense, and all negotiations
relative to the settlement of any such claim. Any settlement intended
to bind the indemnified party shall not be final without the
indemnified party's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

obligations under this Agreement or otherwise for consequential,
exemplary, special, incidental, or punitive damages even if Consultant
has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In any event, the
liability of Consultant to Client for any reason and upon any cause of
action, regardless of the form in which the legal or equitable action
may be brought, including, without limitation, any action in tort or
contract, shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the fee paid by Client
