....Introduction to our Field Services Manager, Al Portes

GTech Networks Officer Offer for Al Portes

Beginning 7/15/2005

o Field Services Manager – The Field Services Manager will be responsible for pursuing field-level break-fix, desktop deployments, and other technician-level work; recruiting and training sub-level field managers; and be responsible for on-site quality assurance of all ongoing work, nationwide, including hands-on intervention when necessary.

GTech Networks, LLC is pleased to offer the following position to you, as an officer of the company, as follows:

§ Duties – It is anticipated that your work will be largely independent. You will report to the soon-to-be-designated CEO. (Mr. Garcia, until the CEO is named.) You will work as a peer to the Chief Technical Officer.

§ Your principal duty will be to manage diverse field operations, train field supervisors, and maintain quality control and job-discipline for a large number of geographically dispersed technicians. GTech Networks believes that you will excel at this job.

§ Your current skills set meets all of the requirements of this position, except you must be granted a DoD Secret security clearance and you must obtain Vendor-certification (Dell DCSE and other certs), within one month, to be qualified to do hands-on support yourself. (This vendor-certification is required by the broker-vendors, you are not expected to routinely do any hands-on repairs, except for training.)

§ Mr. Garcia will put you in contact with all of the break-fix job brokers who were familiar with Mr. [obscured] work. You will be expected to develop a rapport and maintain constant contact with these vendors.

§ It is expected that you will have essentially restored GTech Networks’ full-line of break-fix operations within 2 months.

§ You will choose field supervisors, train, and manage on a day-to-day basis, so the broker-vendors, will have no reservations, about assigning jobs to GTech Networks.

§ Work to be assigned to the Field Services Division, from other divisions of GTech Networks will be all work of the break-fix, multi-site desktop rollouts, software upgrades, hardware refreshes, and other business similar to that described in your duties above.

§ Compensation Plan: Base salary, [obscured] per year.

§ 401k, health, and insurance benefits after 2 months of excellent performance.

§ [obscured]% of all net profit which your Field Services Division generates will be paid as a bonus. This includes business which you initially bring to GTech Networks, all new business which you develop on your own, and all new business which is assigned to your division by others in GTech Networks management structure.

§ Bonuses will be paid on a monthly basis, with a three-month backlog of payments to be left on the company books.

§ [obscured]% of base salary and profit incentives will be left on the company books, as an interest-free capital investment, for future growth. Funds will be available for withdrawal upon GTech Networks’ graduation from the 8(a) program. These funds may be withdrawn in cash, or they may be used to purchase shares in the post-8(a) GTech Networks.

§ Periodic salary reviews for your position are not anticipated, since your base salary is simply a “floor” salary, and you will be expected to increase your compensation as an officer, by increasing your business base.

§ Talent pool – The FSM will be responsible for maintaining a pool of independent subcontractors who can represent GTech Networks in a favorable light in any market. This pool of technicians will not normally be paid as “direct labor,” but rather as 1099 subcontractors. The FSM will broker jobs to the subcontractor pool, recruiting one-time or on-going representatives in geographically dispersed locations.

§ Direct labor-mandated contracts for FSM operations may be assigned to the FSM, at the discretion of other managers. GTech Networks may “hire” FSM pool personnel for job assignments, but the FSM will be compensated for their generated profits as if they were still part of the FSM pool.

q On-Going and Anticipated Business Targets

o With a new seasoned management team in place along with Mr. Garcia’s aggressive marketing program, the company should achieve revenue ranging from 10 to 30 million in revenue within a two year period, realizing net profits of $1.2 - $3.5 million per year.

Offer extended this 15^th day of July, 2005

Dear Mr. Saunders,

I Met with Will Harper and Eddie García last Friday and they alerted me to their plans in wanting to expand their area of service and the corresponding need for a Field Service Manager that such a move will entail.

I run my own IT consulting firm and have come to both value the clients I’ve been able to serve as well as to recognize the importance of earning their trust to see that translated into their recommendations. I have managed large projects while with MAXIMUS, Inc. and am considered a savvy manager that knows how the get the job done. Eleven years in the US Navy indelibly honed the team building and maintaining of cohesion skills to ensure satisfactory completion of the tasks at hand while ensuring the highest satisfaction to the customer.

Will and Eddie explained clearly the role you are to play and I remain available and at your service for an interview at your earliest convenience.
