Summary:

      As previously reported, Ashlin Development Corporation, a Florida
corporation ("we" or the "Company"), and our newly-formed subsidiary had entered
into a Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of November 14, 2005,
with Gales Industries Incorporated, a privately-held Delaware corporation
("Gales Industries"), which did not have any business operations other than in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, Gales Industries merged (the "Merger") on November 30,
2005 (the "Closing Date") into our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gales Industries
Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), which we recently incorporated in the State of
Delaware for the purpose of completing the Merger. Merger Sub was the surviving
company in the Merger. Contemporaneously with the closing of the Merger, Gales
Industries acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Air Industries
Machining, Corp., a New York corporation ("AIM") (the "Acquisition"). (The
initial acquiror of AIM's outstanding capital stock was a newly-formed
wholly-owned subsidiary of Gales Industries, called Gales Industries Acquisition
Corp., Inc., ("Acquisition Corp."), a Delaware corporation. Acquisition Corp.
initially acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of AIM as of the Closing
Date and contemporaneously merged into AIM, with AIM being the surviving
corporation, and distributed the outstanding capital stock of AIM to Gales
Industries. The result was that AIM became the wholly-owned subsidiary of Gales
Industries as though Gales Industries itself acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of AIM as of the Closing Date.)

      Immediately prior to the completion of the Merger, Gales Industries
received $6,793,280 in gross proceeds from the first closing of a private
placement to accredited investors of convertible preferred stock which, pursuant
to the Merger, have been exchanged for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
$.001 par value per share ("Preferred Stock"), of the Company. The shares of
Preferred Stock issued in connection with such private placement as of the
Closing Date are, in the aggregate, immediately convertible into 30,878,855

                                       2

shares of our common stock, $.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), after
giving effect to the reverse split of our Common Stock, described below. (Such
share number of 30,878,855 does not take into account the shares of Common Stock
which may be issued upon conversion of the additional shares of Preferred Stock
issuable to the investors as dividends.)

      Thus, as of the Closing Date, we acquired indirect ownership of all of the
outstanding capital stock of AIM. In return, we issued shares of Common Stock
resulting in a change in control of the Company. AIM manufactures aircraft
structural parts and assemblies principally for prime defense contractors in the
aerospace industry and, following the Merger, the business of AIM constituted
our only operations. We experienced, as of the Closing Date, a change in control
of our ownership, management and Board of Directors.

      The aggregate purchase price paid to AIM's four shareholders for 100% of
the capital stock of AIM was as follows: (i) $3,114,296 in cash, (ii) $1,627,262
principal amount of promissory notes, and (iii) 490,060 shares of common stock.
A portion of the proceeds from the first closing of the Offering was used to pay
such purchase price. In addition, we distributed approximately $690,000 to AIM's
shareholders in satisfaction of certain loans from them to AIM and to enable
them to pay income taxes accrued while operating AIM as a Subchapter S
corporation.

      Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we were required, prior to
the closing of the Merger, to effect a 1-for-1.249419586 reverse split of our
Common Stock (the "Reverse Split"). The Reverse Split became effective as of
November 21, 2005. The Reverse Split reduced the number of shares of Common
Stock which we had outstanding on a fully diluted basis (4,707,813, which
consisted of 4,652,813 shares and 55,000 stock options) to approximately
3,768,000. As a result of the Reverse Split, the conversion of the outstanding
shares of Gales Industries pursuant to the Merger for new shares of our Common
Stock was on a one-for-one basis. Any of our shareholders who, as a result of
the Reverse Split, held a fractional share of Common Stock received a whole
share of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share. All share numbers set
forth in this report, unless otherwise noted, give effect to the Reverse Split
but do not take into account the whole shares issued in lieu of the fractional
shares resulting from the Reverse Split. In connection with the Reverse Split,
we amended our Articles of Incorporation to reduce our total authorized Common
Stock from 150,000,000 shares to 120,055,746 shares. After giving effect to the
Reverse Split, prior to the Merger, we had outstanding approximately 3,723,980
shares of Common Stock and had outstanding stock options exercisable into
approximately 44,020 shares of our Common Stock. Such 3,723,980 shares and
44,020 stock options continued to be outstanding after, and were not cancelled
or redeemed pursuant to, the Merger. The approximately 3,723,980 shares of our
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger constitute
approximately 7% of our Common Stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis
immediately after the Merger, subject to further dilution if additional Units of
Preferred Stock are sold in the Offering (defined below).

      Immediately following the Merger, we owned 100% of the outstanding capital
stock of Merger Sub, which owned all of the outstanding capital stock of AIM. On
a fully-diluted basis, we issued in connection with the Merger an aggregate of
approximately 52,600,710 shares of our Common Stock (or approximately 93.3% of
the outstanding on a fully-diluted basis), after taking into account the shares
underlying the preferred stock, placement agent warrants, stock options and
convertible notes which were previously convertible or exercisable into shares
of Gales Industries common stock but pursuant to the Merger have become
preferred stock, warrants, options and convertible notes that are convertible or
exercisable into shares of our Common Stock.

                                       3

      Contemporaneously with or immediately prior to the closing of the Merger
and the Acquisition: (i) Gales Industries completed the private placement (the
"Offering") to accredited investors of 679.328 shares (for gross proceeds of
$6,793,280) of Gales Industries' Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$.0001 per share ("Gales Preferred Stock"); (ii) we designated 1,000 shares of
our preferred stock, $.001 par value per share, to constitute a new series of
preferred stock entitled "Series A Convertible Preferred Shares" (the "Series A
Preferred Stock"), with terms, rights and preferences which are the same as
those of the Gales Preferred Stock; (iii) AIM completed the acquisition from
affiliates of AIM, for $4,190,000, of a three-building (76,000 square feet),
5.4-acre corporate campus which was being leased prior to the Closing Date by
AIM in Bay Shore, New York (the "Real Estate Acquisition"); and (iv) AIM entered
into with PNC Bank a loan facility (the "New Loan Facility"), secured by all of
its assets and the real property acquired in the Real Estate Acquisition,
providing AIM with up to $14,000,000 in debt facilities as follows: $9,000,000
in a revolving credit facility, $3,500,000 in a term loan, and $1,500,000 in new
equipment financing.

      Upon completion of the New Loan Facility with PNC Bank, we paid to a third
party a finder's fee consisting of $125,000 and 325,000 shares of Common Stock
(which shares have a total value of $71,500 assuming a per share value of $0.22
per share). Such shares were contributed to such third party by Michael Gales
and did not require the issuance of additional shares by the Company. In
addition, upon closing of the New Loan Facility, AIM retained such third party
as a consultant for a 36-month period for a monthly fee of approximately $3,500.

      Prior to the Merger, Gales Industries had adopted a Stock Incentive Plan
providing for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of its common stock and
had issued from such plan options exercisable into 4,850,000 shares of its
common stock. Pursuant to the Merger, such options became options to purchase
the same number of shares of our Common Stock. Our 1998 Stock Option Plan, under
which approximately 956,000 shares of Common Stock remain available for future
issuance, remained in effect upon completion of the Merger.

      GunnAllen Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation, acted as Placement
Agent in the Offering ("Placement Agent") and received: (i) a sales commission
equal to 6%, and a management fee equal to 4%, of the aggregate purchase price
of the Units sold and (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of
the aggregate purchase price of the Units sold. In addition, the Placement Agent
received warrants (the "Placement Agent Warrants"), exercisable during a
five-year term, to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of
the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock sold in the
Offering may be converted. The Placement Agent Warrants have a "cashless
exercise" feature and are exercisable at the price per share equal to the per
share conversion price-equivalent with respect to the Preferred Stock.

      Additional closings of the Offering may be held until the completion of
the sale of up to an aggregate maximum of 80 Units (for gross proceeds of
$8,000,000; referred to as the "Maximum Offering"). In addition, the Maximum
Offering may be increased by up to 10 Units ($1,000,000) to cover any
over-subscriptions (the "Over-Allotment Option"). The investors in the Offering
will automatically receive, in exchange for the Gales Preferred Stock which they
subscribe for in the Offering, shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. The
proceeds of the Offering, in general, were and will be used for paying the cash
portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition, for paying expenses relating
to the Offering, Acquisition, Merger and related transactions, for the repayment
of up to $150,000 in promissory note obligations which Gales Industries incurred
in bridge financings, and for working capital for us and AIM. A portion of the
proceeds from the New Loan Facility was used to pay for the Real Estate
Acquisition. In addition, proceeds from the New Loan Facility were used to pay
off AIM's debt to its prior lender and certain of AIM's shareholders, totaling
approximately $5,800,000, and will be used for working capital for AIM's
business.

                                       4

      As of the Closing Date, we issued 10,645,817 shares of Common Stock in
connection with the Merger to pre-existing Gales Industries shareholders and to
those who became shareholders of Gales Industries as of the Closing Date,
including former shareholders of AIM. We also issued 100,000 shares to a
director of the Company in consideration for his agreement to remain on the
Board. Upon completion of the first closing of the Offering, the Placement Agent
in the Offering received warrants to purchase shares of Gales Industries' common
stock which, pursuant to the Merger, have become warrants to purchase 3,087,885
shares of our Common Stock at the exercise price of $0.22 per share. Immediately
prior to the Merger, Gales Industries had outstanding options to purchase shares
of Gales Industries' common stock which, pursuant to the Merger, have become
options to purchase 4,850,000 shares of our Common Stock at the exercise price
of $0.22 per share. The investors in the first closing of the Offering hold
shares of our Series A Preferred Stock which, in the aggregate (not including
shares of Preferred Stock which may be issued as dividends), may be converted
into 30,878,855 shares of our Common Stock at the conversion price of $0.22 per
share. In the event the Maximum Offering is completed, the investors in the
Offering will hold shares of our Series A Preferred Stock which, in the
aggregate, may be converted into 36,364,000 shares of our Common Stock.
Immediately prior to the Merger, Gales Industries had outstanding certain bridge
notes convertible into shares of Gales Industries' common stock and certain
bridge warrants to purchase shares of Gales Industries' common stock; these
notes and warrants have, pursuant to the Merger, become notes convertible into
409,090 shares of our Common Stock at the conversion price of $0.22 per share
and warrants to purchase 1,090,909 shares of our Common Stock at the exercise
price of $0.22 per share. In connection with the Acquisition, former
shareholders of AIM received, as of the Closing Date, promissory notes
convertible into shares of Gales Industries' common stock which, pursuant to the
Merger, have become notes convertible into an aggregate of 1,663,154 shares of
our Common Stock at the conversion price of $0.40 per share.

      In connection with the Merger, Theodore T. Alfen and Steven Pomerantz
resigned as members of our Board of Directors, leaving James A. Brown as the
sole director, and Mr. Brown resigned as our Chief Executive Officer. The sole
director then appointed additional members to the Board, effective as of the
date of the Merger, so that our Board of Directors now consists of the following
members: Michael A. Gales (Chairman), Louis A. Giusto (Vice Chairman), Peter D.
Rettaliata, Dario A. Peragallo, Stephen M. Nagler, Seymour G. Siegel,
Rounsevelle W. Schaum, Ira A. Hunt, Jr. and James A. Brown. The sole director,
simultaneously with the appointment of new directors to the Board, appointed new
officers of the Company as follows: Michael A. Gales as Executive Chairman of
the Board, Louis A. Giusto as Vice Chairman, Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer, Peter D. Rettaliata as Chief Executive Officer and President, Dario
Peragallo as Executive Vice President of Manufacturing and Stephen M. Nagler as
Secretary Mr. Siegel is expected to be the chairman of the audit committee of
the Board and Mr. Schaum is expected to be the chairman of the Compensation
Committee of the Board.

      Immediately prior to the Merger, we had no operations and had net assets
consisting only of cash and cash equivalents.

      As of August 24, 2005, our shareholders approved an amendment to our
Articles of Incorporation which increased the number of our authorized shares of
Common Stock, $.001 par value per share, from 30,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares,
and authorized 10,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock, $.001 par
value per share. In connection with the Reverse Split, our total authorized
Common Stock was reduced to 120,055,746 and our total authorized preferred stock
was reduced from 10,000,000 shares to 8,003,716 shares.

                                       5

      We believe that the issuances of our Common Stock in connection with the
Merger were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

1. Description of Business.

About AIM

      Following the Merger, the business of AIM constituted our only operations.
Founded in 1969, AIM manufactures aircraft structural parts and assemblies
principally for prime defense contractors in the aerospace industry including,
Sikorsky, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman. Approximately 85% of
AIM's revenues are derived from parts and assemblies directed toward military
applications, although direct sales to the military (U.S. and NATO) constitute
less than 10% of AIM's revenue. AIM is known as a provider of critical and
complex structures for demanding customers: AIM's parts are installed onboard
Sikorky's VH-3D, otherwise known as Marine One, the primary Presidential
helicopter and on Air Force One, Boeing's 747-2000B customized for use by the
President.

      AIM has evolved from being an individual parts manufacturer to being a
manufacturer of subassemblies (i.e. being an assembly constructor) and being an
engineering integrator. AIM currently produces over 2,400 individual parts that
are assembled by a skilled labor force into electromechanical devices, mixer
assemblies, helicopter rotorhub components, rocket launching systems for the
F-22 Raptor Advanced Stealth Fighter, arresting gears for E2C and other US Navy
Fighters, vibration absorbing assemblies for a variety of Sikorsky helicopters,
landing gear components for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and many other
subassembly packages. AIM's major customers recognize its achievements in
manufacturing quality control, which include ISO 9001 and AS9100 Certifications
as well as several highly technical, customer-based proprietary quality
approvals.

      AIM is the largest supplier of flight safety components for Sikorsky.
Sales of parts and services to Sikorsky account for more than 40% of AIM's
revenue, and are subject to General Ordering Agreements which were recently
renegotiated and extended through 2010. These revised agreements included upward
price adjustments that the Company estimates will increase net earnings by more
than $600,000 in 2005, and continue to positively impact the Company's
profitability in 2006.

Government Regulation

      Environmental Regulation

      We are subject to regulations administered by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, various state agencies and county and local authorities acting
in cooperation with federal and state authorities. Among other things, these
regulatory bodies impose restrictions to control air, soil and water pollution,
to protect against occupational exposure to chemicals, including health and
safety risks, and to require notification or reporting of the storage, use and
release of certain hazardous chemicals and substances. The extensive regulatory
framework imposes compliance burdens and risks on us. Governmental authorities
have the power to enforce compliance with these regulations and to obtain
injunctions or impose civil and criminal fines in the case of violations.

      The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980 (CERCLA) imposes strict, joint and several liability on the present and
former owners and operators of facilities that release hazardous substances into
the environment. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA)
regulates the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of
hazardous waste. In New York, the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous

                                       7

substances are governed by the Environmental Conservation Law, which contains
the New York counterparts of CERCLA and RCRA. In addition, the Occupational
Safety and Health Act, which requires employers to provide a place of employment
that is free from recognized and preventable hazards that are likely to cause
serious physical harm to employees, obligates employers to provide notice to
employees regarding the presence of hazardous chemicals and to train employees
in the use of such substances.

      Federal Aviation Administration Regulation

      We are subject to regulation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
under the provisions of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended. The FAA
prescribes standards and licensing requirements for aircraft and aircraft
components. We are subject to inspections by the FAA and may be subjected to
fines and other penalties (including orders to cease production) for
noncompliance with FAA regulations. Our failure to comply with applicable
regulations could result in the termination of or our disqualification from some
of our contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

      Government Contract Compliance

      Our government contracts and those of many of our customers are subject to
the procurement rules and regulations of the United States government. Many of
the contract terms are dictated by these rules and regulations. During and after
the fulfillment of a government contract, we may be audited in respect of the
direct and allocated indirect costs attributed thereto. These audits may result
in adjustments to our contract costs. Additionally, we may be subject to U.S.
government inquiries and investigations because of our participation in
government procurement. Any inquiry or investigation can result in fines or
limitations on our ability to continue to bid for government contracts and
fulfill existing contracts.

      We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all federal, state
and local laws and regulations governing our operations and have obtained all
material licenses and permits required for the operation of our business.

Employees

      AIM employs approximately 144 principally union employees and maintains
what it believes are, and what historically has been, good relationships with
its union.

Future Expansion and Acquisition Strategy

      The Company intends to seek to expand its operations through internal
growth and additional strategic acquisitions. The Company will seek to attract
new customers through proactive industry marketing efforts including direct
sales programs, participation at trade shows, technical society meetings and
similar activities. Additionally, the Company will seek to capitalize on its
engineering capabilities by partnering with other lower cost manufacturers which
can benefit from the Company's expertise.

      With respect to consolidation strategy, the Company will focus on
acquiring profitable, privately held entities or divisions of larger entities
with annual sales between $15 and $50 million in the aerospace and military
fields. The Company will initially seek enterprises whose products are
complementary to AIM's current product line and which can benefit from the
Company's existing engineering talents and manufacturing capabilities. The

                                       8

Company will look for candidates whose products are components of larger mission
critical systems and which can be upgraded from simple parts to complex,
higher-margin component system subassemblies through the use of AIM's
engineering talents. The Company intends to focus on entities with reputations
for high quality standards whose management can be absorbed into the Company.
When possible, the Company will seek to combine existing operations to absorb
excess capacity and eliminate duplicative facilities. It is contemplated that
these future acquisitions will be facilitated by using either the Company's
stock, cash or debt financing, or some combination thereof.

Ashlin Bankruptcy

      On October 15, 2004, Ashlin (then known as Health & Nutrition Systems
International, Inc.) filed in the southern district of Florida a plan of
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States bankruptcy code. The Court
confirmed Ashlin's plan of reorganization ("Plan of Reorganization") on January
10, 2005 and the Plan of Reorganization was declared effective on January 21,
2005. Ashlin formally emerged from bankruptcy protection on April 29, 2005
without any operating business. After emerging from bankruptcy protection and
prior to the Merger, Ashlin was a "shell" company.

      As part of the Plan of Reorganization:

      1. TeeZee, Inc., a company formed by Ashlin's former Chief Executive
Officer, Christopher Tisi, purchased substantially all of the assets of Ashlin,
including the rights to the name "Health & Nutrition Systems International,
Inc." in exchange for $350,000 in cash and assumption of approximately
$1,841,000 in liabilities. Although competing bids were allowed for under the
Plan of Reorganization, no other bids for Ashlin's assets were submitted.

      2. Ashlin entered into an employment agreement with Mr. James A. Brown,
which provided for:

            o     Salary of $9,200 per month until the 30th calendar day
                  following Ashlin's discharge from bankruptcy, and thereafter
                  at a rate of $7,000 per month; and

            o     The issuance by Ashlin to Mr. Brown of 300,000 shares of
                  Common Stock.

      3. TeeZee, Inc. assumed the secured claim of Garden State Nutritionals
(GSN), a division of Vitaquest International, Inc.; GSN retained its
pre-existing lien on substantially all of the transferred assets.

      4. TeeZee, Inc. assumed the secured claim of SunTrust Bank on Ashlin's
2004 Honda Element on the effective date; SunTrust retained its pre-existing
lien on the vehicle.

      5. TeeZee, Inc. assumed most of the unsecured claims, including those of
trade and employee creditors, together with any unsecured deficiency claims of
GSN and SunTrust. The unassumed unsecured claims of Ashlin were paid, pro rata,
from a fund which did not exceed $50,000.

      6. A permanent injunction was issued barring Ashlin and the TeeZee, Inc.
from violating Window Rock Enterprises, Inc.'s trademarks for "CortiSlim" and
Ashlin agreed not to challenge Window Rock's trademark for this product.

                                       9

      7. All holders of Ashlin's common stock retained their shares.

      After the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization, Ashlin continued
to exist as a separate incorporated entity, with James A. Brown, Steven
Pomerantz and Ted Alflen continuing to serve as directors of Ashlin, and Mr.
Brown continuing to serve as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr.
Brown was the sole officer of Ashlin from the effective date of the Plan of
Reorganization to the date of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, Mr. Brown's
employment agreement with Ashlin was terminated and he waived his rights under
the employment agreement.

      From its inception through the effective date of the Plan of
Reorganization, Ashlin was known as Health & Nutrition Systems International,
Inc. and developed, marketed and sold weight management, energy and sport
nutrition products to national and regional, food, drug, health, pharmacy,
mass-market accounts, and independent health and pharmacy accounts. Its product
formulations were not proprietary.

Risk Factors

      Risks of the Acquisition

      AIM's business is the Company's only operating business. There can be no
assurance that any benefits to AIM's business will be achieved from the Merger,
Acquisition, Real Estate Acquisition, New Loan Facility or Offering
(collectively, the "Closing Transactions") or that the results of operations of
AIM prior to the Acquisition will be not be adversely impacted by the Closing
Transactions. As of the Closing Date, Luis Peragallo and Jorge Peragallo
resigned from their positions with AIM. Even though Peter Rettaliata and Dario
Peragallo, two of AIM's officers, will serve as officers of the Company, there
can be no assurance that the new management of the Company will have the
necessary experience to operate the Company. The process of combining the
organizations of Gales Industries, AIM and Ashlin could interrupt the activities
of part or all of AIM's business, and could cause fundamental changes in AIM's
business, which could have an adverse effect on the Company. The past results of
operations of AIM are not necessarily indicative of the future results of
operations of the Company.

      Limited Recourse Against AIM Shareholders

      Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement relating to the Acquisition, the
obligation of the former shareholders of AIM (the "AIM Shareholders") to
indemnify the Company for breaches of their representations and warranties is,
with certain exceptions, limited to $2.5 million. Consequently, the Company will
have no recourse against the AIM Shareholders for claims in excess of such
amount.

      The inability to successfully manage the growth of our business may have a
material adverse effect on our business, results or operations and financial
condition.

      We expect to experience growth in the number of employees and the scope of
our operations as a result of internal growth and acquisitions. Such activities
could result in increased responsibilities for management.

      Our future success will be highly dependent upon our ability to manage
successfully the expansion of operations. Our ability to manage and support our
growth effectively will be substantially dependent on our ability to implement
adequate improvements to financial, inventory, management controls, reporting,
union relationships, order entry systems and other procedures, and hire
sufficient numbers of financial, accounting, administrative, and management
personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, attract,
and retain experienced accounting and financial personnel.

                                       10

      Our future success depends on our ability to address potential market
opportunities and to manage expenses to match our ability to finance operations.
The need to control our expenses will place a significant strain on our
management and operational resources. If we are unable to control our expenses
effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be
adversely affected.

      The unsuccessful integration of a business or business segment we acquire
could have a material adverse effect on our results.

      As part of our business strategy, we expect to acquire assets and
businesses relating to or complementary to our operations. These acquisitions
will involve risks commonly encountered in acquisitions. These risks include,
among other things, exposure to unknown liabilities of the acquired companies,
additional acquisition costs and unanticipated expenses. Our quarterly and
annual operating results will fluctuate due to the costs and expenses of
acquiring and integrating new businesses. We may also experience difficulties in
assimilating the operations and personnel of acquired businesses. Our ongoing
business may be disrupted and our management's time and attention diverted from
existing operations. Our acquisition strategy will likely require additional
debt or equity financing, resulting in additional leverage or dilution of
ownership. We cannot assure you that any future acquisition will be consummated,
or that if consummated, that we will be able to integrate such acquisition
successfully.

      Any reduction in government spending on defense could materially adversely
impact our revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

      There are risks associated with programs that are subject to appropriation
by Congress, which could be potential targets for reductions in funding to pay
for other programs. Future reductions in United States Government spending on
defense or future changes in the kind of defense products required by United
States Government agencies could limit demand for our products, which would have
a materially adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

      In addition, potential shifts in responsibilities and functions within the
defense and intelligence communities could result in a reduction of orders for
defense products by segments of the defense industry that have historically been
our major customers. As a result, demand for our products could decline,
resulting in a decrease in revenues and materially adversely affecting our
operating results and financial condition.

      We depend on revenues from a few significant relationships, in particular
with Sikorsky Aircraft, and any loss, cancellation, reduction, or interruption
in these relationships could harm our business.

      In general, we have derived a material portion of our revenue from one or
a limited number of customers. We expect that in future periods we may enter
into contracts with customers which represent a significant concentration of our
revenues. If such contracts were terminated, our revenues and net income could
significantly decline. Our success will depend on our continued ability to
develop and manage relationships with significant customers. Sikorsky accounts
for more than 40% of our sales. Any adverse change in our relationship with such
customer could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we are
attempting to expand our customer base, we expect that our customer
concentration will not change significantly in the near future. The markets in

                                       11

which we sell our products are dominated by a relatively small number of
customers who have contracts with United States governmental agencies, thereby
limiting the number of potential customers. We cannot be sure that we will be
able to retain our largest customers, that we will be able to attract additional
customers, or that our customers will continue to buy our products in the same
amounts as in prior years. The loss of one or more of our largest customers, any
reduction or interruption in sales to these customers, our inability to
successfully develop relationships with additional customers, or future price
concessions that we may have to make, could significantly harm our business.

      Continued competition in our markets may lead to a reduction in our
revenues and market share.

      The defense and aerospace component manufacturing market is highly
competitive and we expect that competition will continue to increase. Current
competitors have significantly greater technical, manufacturing, financial and
marketing resources than we do. We expect that more companies will enter the
defense and aerospace component manufacturing market. We may not be able to
compete successfully against either current or future competitors. Increased
competition could result in reduced revenue, lower margins, or loss of market
share, any of which could significantly harm our business.

      Our future revenues are inherently unpredictable, our operating results
are likely to fluctuate from period to period, and if we fail to meet the
expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price could decline
significantly.

      Our quarterly and annual operating results are likely to fluctuate
significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, some of which are
outside our control. Accordingly, we believe that period-to-period comparisons
of our results of operations are not meaningful and should not be relied upon as
indications of performance. Some of the factors that could cause quarterly or
annual operating results to fluctuate include conditions inherent in government
contracting and our business such as the timing of cost and expense recognition
for contracts, the United States Government contracting and budget cycles,
introduction of new government regulations and standards, contract closeouts,
variations in manufacturing efficiencies, our ability to obtain components and
subassemblies from contract manufacturers and suppliers, general economic
conditions, and economic conditions specific to the defense market. Because we
base our operating expenses on anticipated revenue trends and a high percentage
of our expenses are fixed in the short term, any delay in generating or
recognizing forecasted revenues could significantly harm our business.
Fluctuations in quarterly results, competition, or announcements of
extraordinary events such as acquisitions or litigation may cause earnings to
fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event,
the trading price of our common stock could significantly decline. In addition,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market will be sustained for
our common stock. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and market
conditions, may adversely affect the future market price of our common stock, as
well as our overall operating results.

      We may lose sales if our suppliers fail to meet our needs.

      Although we procure most of our parts and components from multiple sources
or believe that these components are readily available from numerous sources,
certain components are available only from sole sources or from a limited number
or sources. While we believe that substitute components or assemblies could be
obtained, use of substitutes would require development of new suppliers or would
require us to re-engineer our products, or both, which could delay shipment of
our products and could have a materially adverse effect on our operating results
and financial condition.

      Attracting and retaining key personnel is an essential element of our
future success.

                                       12

      Our future success depends to a significant extent upon the continued
service of our executive officers and other key management and technical
personnel and on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate
executive and other key employees, including those in managerial, technical,
marketing and information technology support positions. Attracting and retaining
skilled workers and qualified sales representatives is also critical to us.
Experienced management and technical, marketing and support personnel in the
defense and aerospace industries are in demand and competition for their talents
is intense. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees or our
failure to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

      Terrorist acts and acts of war may seriously harm our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

      United States and global responses to the Middle East conflict, terrorism,
perceived nuclear, biological and chemical threats and other global crises
increase uncertainties with respect to U.S. and other business and financial
markets. Several factors associated, directly or indirectly, with the Middle
East conflict, terrorism, perceived nuclear, biological and chemical threats and
other global crises and responses thereto, may adversely affect the Company.

      While some of our products may experience greater demand as a result of
increased U.S. Government defense spending, various responses could realign U.S.
Government programs and affect the composition, funding or timing of our
government programs and those of our customers. U.S. Government spending could
shift to defense programs in which we do participate. As a result of the
September 11th terrorist attacks and given the current Middle East and global
situation, U.S. defense spending is generally expected to increase over the next
several years. Increased defense spending does not necessarily correlate to
increased business, because not all the programs in which we participate or have
current capabilities may be earmarked for increased funding.

      Terrorist acts of war (wherever located around the world) may cause damage
or disruption to us, our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers,
distributors and resellers, and customers, which could significantly impact our
revenues, expenses and financial condition. The terrorist attacks that took
place in the United States on September 11, 2001 were unprecedented events that
have created many economic and political uncertainties. The potential for future
terrorist attacks, the national and international responses to terrorist
attacks, and other acts of war or hostility have created many economic and
political uncertainties, which could adversely affect our business and results
of operations in ways that cannot presently be predicted. In addition, as a
company with headquarters and significant operations located in the United
States, we may be impacted by actions against the United States.

      The Company's indebtedness may affect its operations.

      As described below under "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation - Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources", AIM has incurred
significant indebtedness under the New Loan Facility. This indebtedness far
exceeds the amount of pre-Merger debt of AIM. As a result, AIM is significantly
leveraged and has indebtedness that is substantial in relation to its
stockholders' equity. The ability of AIM to make principal and interest payments
will depend on future performance, which is subject to many factors, some of
which are outside of the Company's control. In addition, the New Loan Facility
is secured by all of the assets of AIM including the real estate acquired in the
Real Estate Acquisition. In the case of a continuing default by AIM under the

                                       13

New Loan Facility, the lender will have the right to foreclose on AIM's assets,
which would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Payment of principal
and interest on such indebtedness may limit the Company's ability to pay cash
dividends to shareholders and the documents governing the New Loan Facility will
prohibit the payment of cash dividends. The Company's leverage may also
adversely affect the ability of the Company to finance future operations and
capital needs, may limit its ability to pursue other business opportunities and
may make its results of operations more susceptible to adverse economic
conditions.

      Need for Additional Capital

      The Company may require additional capital to accomplish its business
objectives, even if the Maximum Offering is completed. There can be no assurance
that any financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at
all. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to service
its existing indebtedness or any debt it may hereafter incur in connection with
the expansion of its operations. If the Company were to seek to raise additional
equity, its then existing shareholders would suffer dilution to their interests.

      Absence of Principal Shareholders Guarantees and Financial Accommodations

      Historically, AIM has obtained money and achieved other financial
accommodations through arrangements guaranteed by the AIM Shareholders. Since
they sold their shares of AIM in connection with the Acquisition, these original
AIM Shareholders will not be providing any financial assistance to us or AIM on
a going-forward basis. The Company is no longer able to rely upon the credit of
AIM's Shareholders when seeking to borrow money or obtain other financial
accommodations.

      There is only a limited public market for the Company's securities.

      There is no trading market for the Company's Preferred Stock. The trading
market for the Company's Common Stock is limited and there can be no assurance
that an active trading market will ever develop, or, if developed, that it will
be sustained.

      Potential Adverse Effect on Market Price of Securities from Future Sales
of Common Stock

      Within six months after the Closing Date, the Company is planning to
register for resale under the Securities Act approximately 46,339,955 shares of
Common Stock (in case the Maximum Offering is completed) which will either be
outstanding or be issuable upon conversion or exercise of preferred stock,
convertible notes or warrants. The Company also intends to register on Form S-8
under the Securities Act an additional 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which
are the shares available for issuance under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan,
combined with the 4,850,000 shares underlying the stock options granted by Gales
Industries which have become options to purchase an equal number of shares of
our Common Stock. Among the outstanding shares of Common Stock which do not
carry registration rights, the shares of Common Stock held by the shareholders
of Ashlin prior to the Merger will be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act.

      Future sales of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement or under
Rule 144, or the perception that such sales could occur, could have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Common Stock. All of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock have "piggyback"
registration rights. In addition, the Company expects to register under the
Securities Act all outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether issued in
connection with the Offering and the Closing Transactions or previously issued

                                       14

to shareholders of the Company), and shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise of warrants and convertible securities, and, upon
effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect
to such shares, such shares will be immediately salable. Such sales will
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.

      Effect of Stock Options

      The Company intends to adopt a new stock incentive plan (the "2005 Stock
Incentive Plan") to be submitted to shareholders for approval, which would allow
for the issuance of a total of 5,150,000 shares of Common Stock, either as stock
grants or options, to employees, officers, directors, advisors and consultants
of the Company. As of the Closing Date, options to purchase 4,850,000 shares of
Gales' common stock became options to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock. The Company has approximately an additional 956,000 shares available for
issuance under its 1998 Stock Option Plan. A total of approximately 40,020
options are outstanding under the 1998 Stock Option Plan. The committee
administering the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan will have sole authority and
discretion to grant options under such Plan with respect to the 5,150,000 shares
available for issuance under such Plan. Options granted will be exercisable
during the period specified by the committee administering the 2005 Stock
Incentive Plan except that such committee may authorize options that will become
immediately exercisable in the event of a change in control of the Company and
in the event of certain mergers and reorganizations of the Company. The
existence of such options could limit the price that certain investors might be
willing to pay in the future for shares of Common Stock and may have the effect
of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. The issuance of
additional shares upon the exercise of such options could also decrease the
amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of the
Common Stock and could result in the dilution of voting power of the Common
Stock.

      AIM has not been subject to Sarbanes-Oxley regulations and, therefore, may
lack the financial controls and procedures of public companies.

      AIM has not had the internal or financial control infrastructure necessary
to meet the standards of a public company, including the requirements of the
Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. AIM was not subject to the Sarbanes Oxley Act of
2002, and its internal and financial controls reflect its status as a non-public
company. AIM has not had the internal infrastructure necessary to complete an
attestation about its financial controls that would be required under Section
404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. There can be no guarantee that there are
no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the quality of AIM's
financial controls. Because of the Merger, the Company will be required to
comply with Sarbanes Oxley, including standards for internal and financial
controls, in connection with AIM's operations. The cost to the Company of such
compliance could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations

2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Introduction

      Following the Merger, AIM constitutes all of our operations. The following
discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting (1) AIM's
results of operations for fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003 and (2) our
combined financial liquidity and capital resources. Also discussed below are
AIM's results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005
compared with AIM's results of operations for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2004. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes, and pro forma financial statements,
included with this report.

                                       15

      Each of Merger Sub, Gales Industries and Ashlin has had no sales revenue
but incurred expenses for the periods discussed herein. Merger Sub was formed in
October 2005 for the purpose of entering into the Merger and has no operating
history. Gales Industries was formed in October 2004 and, since then, has had no
operations except in connection with the Closing Transactions. Ashlin emerged
from bankruptcy protection on April 29, 2005 without any business operations and
after having divested the business in which it had been engaged prior to its
bankruptcy filing. Therefore, the results of operations for Ashlin from the
periods prior to its bankruptcy filing are not taken into account in the results
of operations for the combined entity.

Results of Operations

      Year ended December 31, 2004 compared to year ended December 31, 2003

      Net Sales. Net sales were $24,818,333 in fiscal 2004, compared to net
sales of $22,334,926 in fiscal 2003. The increase in net sales in fiscal 2004
compared to fiscal 2003 was due to increased shipments and increased purchase
orders.

      Gross Profit. Gross profit was $3,182,580 in fiscal 2004 (12.8% of net
sales), compared to gross profit of $2,594,740 in fiscal 2003 (11.6% of net
sales). The increase was primarily due to an increased efficiency in
manufacturing and the implementation of cost reduction methods.

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $1,712,202 in fiscal 2004, an increase of 7.6% from
selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,591,354 in fiscal 2003. The
increase was primarily due to adjustments in renumeration of officers' salaries,
pay increases to office personnel, increase in professional fees attributable to
legal costs in drafting a stockholders agreement among AIM's shareholders and
computer consulting costs in connection with modifications to AIM's IT network.

      Other Expenses. Other expenses were $518,180 in fiscal 2004, an increase
of 46.0% from other expenses of $354,566 in fiscal 2003. The significant
increase was due to an increase in bank debt, the refinancing of existing
equipment loans, financing new equipment acquisitions and increased interest
rates.

      The nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2004

      Net Sales: Net sales were $21,851,532 in the nine months ended September
30, 2005 compared to net sales of $18,322,866 in the nine months ended September
30, 2004. The increase of $3,528,666 or 16.15% was primarily due to increased
purchase orders and shipments and retroactive price adjustments on long term
contracts. As of September 30, 2005, AIM's revenue backlog approximated $35
million.

      Gross Profit: Gross profit was $2,801,366 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 (12.8% of net sales), compared to gross profit of $2,206,074
in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 (12.0% of net sales). The increase
in gross profit was due to the fact that, at June 30, 2004, a physical inventory
was taken as opposed to calculating inventory on a Gross Profit Percentage. That
physical inventory yielded a Gross Profit of 12%. At September 30, 2004, the
same Gross Profit Percentage was utilized and, at December 31, 2004 a physical
inventory yielded a Gross Profit Percentage of 12.89%. Absent a physical
inventory since December 31, 2004, this Gross Profit Percentage of 12.89% was

                                       16

utilized for interim reporting purposes in 2005. The increase in gross profit as
a percentage of net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was
favorably affected by (i) renegotiated price adjustments on long term contracts
and (ii) increased efficiency in the manufacturing process. Our gross profit
margins were negatively affected in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due
to (i) increase in factory repairs and (ii) increases in cost of labor.

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $1,531,336 in the nine months ended September 30,
2005, an increase of 27% from selling, general and administrative expenses of
$1,205,521 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was
primarily due to (i) an increase in professional fees and (ii) increase in fees
related to the implementation of a new computer software system.

      Other Expenses: Other expenses were $411,493 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to $316,791 in the nine months ended September 30,
2004, which increase was attributable to (i) financing of additional equipment
acquisitions and (ii) an increase in interest rates.

Impact of Inflation

      Inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

      AIM has financed its operations and investments to date principally
through revenues from operations.

      In connection with the Acquisition of AIM, we incurred notes payable
obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $1,627,262, of which $665,262
are in the form of convertible promissory notes which the Company may convert
into shares of Common Stock at $.40 per share upon effectiveness of a Securities
Act registration statement covering such shares. The remaining $962,000
principal amount note is repayable by the Company in 20 equal quarterly
installments of $48,100 principal plus interest. The holder of a convertible
bridge note in the principal amount of $22,500 has given notice that it will
convert such note into our Common Stock.

      As of the Closing Date, under the New Loan Facility, we incurred
approximately $5,211,000 in debt under the revolving credit facility and
$3,500,000 under a term loan. AIM also has approximately $902,000 outstanding
under the equipment line of credit provided by the New Loan Facility. The
revolving credit facility requires us to pay interest monthly on the outstanding
principal amount. The term loan requires us to make 84 equal monthly payments of
$31,667 plus interest with the balance to be added to the 84th payment. We
believe that all of the applicable interest rates under the New Loan Facility
are consistent with prevailing interest rates in the lending industry.

      All of the proceeds of the term loan and approximately $700,000 of the
borrowings under the revolving credit facility were used to complete the Real
Estate Acquisition. In addition, proceeds from the New Loan Facility were used
to pay off AIM's debt to its prior lender and will be used for working capital
for AIM's business.

      As of the Closing Date, Gales Industries completed the first closing of
the Offering to accredited investors for gross proceeds of $6,793,280.
Commissions, management fees and non-accountable expense allowance which Gales
Industries paid to the placement agent amounted to an aggregate of $815,193.60.
We expect to receive at least $800,000 in additional gross proceeds from a
second closing of the Offering. The proceeds of the first closing of the

                                       17

Offering, in general, were and will be used for paying the cash portion of the
purchase price for the Acquisition of AIM, for the repayment of $150,000 in note
obligations which Gales Industries incurred in bridge financings, for payment of
certain real estate taxes and accrued rent on AIM's real property, for expenses
of the Offering, Acquisition, Merger and related transactions, for satisfaction
of certain loans from the shareholders of AIM to AIM, and for working capital
for us and AIM.

      The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive payment-in-kind
dividends (payable in shares of Preferred Stock), prior to and in preference to
any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Common Stock, at the rate of
8% per annum. However, if a registration statement for the resale of the Common
Stock underlying the Preferred Stock is not filed within 45 days of the earlier
of the termination or the final closing of the Offering or declared effective
within six months of such earlier date, the dividend on the Preferred Stock will
be due in cash from the date of such default until the default is cured.

      We expect that cash flows from operations will be sufficient to pay our
obligations as they arise. In addition, we will have available any net proceeds
from a second closing of the Offering. Further, we may be able to borrow
additional funds under our revolving credit facility provided that we have
sufficient inventory, receivables and equipment and machinery. However, we may
require additional working capital to expand our business and make acquisitions.
We anticipate that increased sales revenues will help to some extent, but we may
need to secure additional financing. In the event we are not able to increase
working capital, we may not be able to expand our business or make acquisitions.

      Not applicable.

Critical Accounting Policies

      Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to
the audited financial statements of AIM. The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ
from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

      Our primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in interest rates
on borrowings under the New Loan Facility. An increase in interest rates would
adversely affect our operating results and the cash flow available after debt
service to fund operations. We manage exposure to interest rates fluctuations by
optimizing the use of fixed and variable rate debt. Except with respect to the
interest rates under the New Loan Facility, we do not have debts or hold
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates or commodity prices.

3. Description of Property.

      AIM's headquarters are situated on a 5.4-acre corporate campus in Bay
Shore, New York. On such campus, AIM occupies 3 buildings consisting of 76,000
square feet. Prior to the Closing Date, AIM leased such real property at an
annual rental fee of approximately $382,800 plus the cost of the annual real
estate tax on such property. The entities that owned the property prior to the
Closing Date are owned in whole or in part by affiliates of AIM. Simultaneously

                                       18

with the closing of the Acquisition and the Merger, AIM became the owner of such
property pursuant to the Real Estate Acquisition with loans from the New Loan
Facility. As a consequence of such purchase, AIM is no longer required to pay
rent for the use of such property. It is estimated that at current rates the
interest payable each year on the funds used to acquire AIM's corporate campus
will approximate the rent which was being paid under the leases prior to their
termination.

      Since the reorganization of Ashlin in January 2005, Ashlin's corporate
office has been located at 4400 North Federal Highway, Suite 210, Boca Raton,
Florida 33431. Ashlin's lease for this property expires on March 31, 2006 and
provides for a monthly rent of approximately $950. As a result of the Merger,
the Company's headquarters have been moved to AIM's corporate campus in Bay
Shore, New York.

Incentive Plans

      Prior to January 28, 2005, the effective date of Ashlin's Plan of
Reorganization, Ashlin had outstanding stock options under its 1998 Stock Option

terminated pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization except options to purchase
40,018 shares of Common Stock held by Steven Pomerantz and options to purchase
4,002 shares of Common Stock held by Ted Alflen, both of whom served on the
Board of Directors of Ashlin following its emergence from bankruptcy proceedings
until the completion of the Merger.

                        Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

      In 2004, we did not grant to any of the Named Executive Officers options
to purchase shares of Common Stock.

                 Aggregated Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year
                        and Fiscal Year-End Option Values

      During 2004, none of the Named Executive Officers exercised any options to
purchase shares of Common Stock and, as of December 31, 2004, none of the Named
Executive Officers held any options to purchase shares of Common Stock.

Employment Agreements

      The employment agreement of Michael A. Gales became effective as of the
Closing Date and will terminate five years thereafter, but will be extendable
for successive three one-year periods unless he or the Company decides not to
extend the agreement. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Gales will
receive a base salary at an annual rate of $250,000, which will increase a
minimum of 5% per year if operating profits of the Company have increased by at
least 5% over the preceding 12-month period. Mr. Gales will be entitled to an
annual bonus to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors. If he is
dismissed without cause, Mr. Gales would be entitled to receive salary and

upon the execution of his employment agreement, options to purchase 1,250,000
shares of Common Stock, exercisable over a ten-year period commencing on the
date of grant. The first one-fifth of such options vested as of the Closing Date
and the balance will vest in equal one-fifth increments (250,000 shares) on the
first through fourth anniversaries of September 15, 2005. The exercise price of
the options which vested as of the Closing Date is twenty-two cents ($0.22) per
share. The exercise price of the remaining options will be equal to the average
trading price of the Common Stock for a thirty-day period preceding the
respective vesting date, but will in no event be less than twenty-two cents per
share. Mr. Gales' employment agreement also contains restrictive covenants
prohibiting Mr. Gales (i) from directly or indirectly competing with the
Company, (ii) from soliciting any customer of the Company or AIM for any
competitive purposes and (iii) from employing or retaining any employee of the
Company or AIM or soliciting any such employee to become affiliated with any

agreement, the terms of which are set forth above. In addition, the Company
granted to Mr. Rettaliata, upon the execution of his employment agreement,
options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable over a
ten-year period commencing on the date of grant. The first one-eighth of such
options vested as of the Closing Date and the balance will vest in equal
one-eighth increments (150,000 shares) on the first through seventh
anniversaries of September 15, 2005. The exercise price of the shares which
vested as of the Closing Date is twenty-two cents ($0.22) per share. The
exercise price of the remaining options will be equal to the average trading
price of the Common Stock for a thirty-day period preceding the respective
vesting date, but will in no event be less than twenty-two cents per share. Mr.
Rettaliata's employment agreement also contains the Employee Restrictive
Covenants.

                                       26

      Pursuant to its Plan of Reorganization, Ashlin had entered into an
employment agreement with James A. Brown, its chairman and chief executive
officer. As a result of the Merger, such employment agreement was terminated and
Mr. Brown waived all of his rights under such employment agreement.

Director Compensation

      As a result of the Merger, the Company intends to adopt a new director
compensation policy. The Company intends to provide compensation to each
non-employee director of the Company as follows: $10,000 per year and $1,250 per
Board meeting, and an additional 100,000 shares of Common Stock to each
non-employee director for his agreement to serve on the Board. The Company
intends to reimburse each director for expenses related to attending Board
meetings. The Company intends to pay an additional $3,000 per year to each
independent director serving as the chairman of the audit committee or the
compensation committee of the Board.

7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

      Transactions Relating to Ashlin:

      In connection with its Plan of Reorganization, in January 2005, Ashlin
entered into an employment agreement with James A. Brown, Ashlin's Chief
Executive Officer, and disposed of substantially all of its assets to an entity
controlled by another former Chief Executive Officer of Ashlin. See "Description
of Business - Ashlin Bankruptcy", above.

      Prior to becoming Ashlin's Chief Executive Officer, James A. Brown
received approximately $59,000 in consulting fees in 2004 in consideration for
his services to Ashlin. As of August 13, 2003, Mr. Brown received 80,003 shares
of Common Stock, valued at $10,000.

      For more detailed information about Ashlin's related party transactions,
reference is made to the section titled "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions" in Ashlin's Revised Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A,
filed with the Commission on July 20, 2005.

      Transactions Relating to Gales Industries:

      In August 2005, Mr. Stephen Nagler, one of the Company's directors, loaned
$10,000 to Gales Industries. Acquaintances of Mr. Nagler loaned an additional
$35,000 to Gales Industries in the same financing (the "$45,000 Financing"). In
connection with the $45,000 Financing, Gales Industries issued to such investors
12% convertible bridge notes (the "$45,000 Bridge Notes") in the aggregate
principal amount of $45,000. The $45,000 Bridge Notes were convertible into an
aggregate of 204,545 shares of Common Stock, at the conversion price of $0.22
per share, but were repaid with a portion of the proceeds of the Offering. In
connection with the $45,000 Bridge Notes, the Company also issued to the
investors warrants ("$45,000 Bridge Warrants") to purchase the number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the number of shares into which such $45,000 Bridge
Notes can be converted, exercisable at $0.22 per share. The $45,000 Bridge
Warrants allow for cashless exercise and have weighted-average anti-dilution
protection with respect to the exercise price.

                                       27

      Stephen Nagler is a partner of the law firm of Eaton & Van Winkle LLP,
which is counsel to Gales Industries and has been counsel to the Company since
the Closing Date. In October 2004, Gales Industries issued shares of its common
stock to Eaton & Van Winkle LLP and to Mr. Nagler in amounts such that, upon
cancellation of such shares in connection with the Merger, Eaton & Van Winkle
was issued 150,000 shares of Common Stock and Mr. Nagler, in connection with his
agreement to serve on the Company's Board, was issued 100,000 shares of Common
Stock.

      Transactions Relating to AIM:

      Prior to the Merger, AIM leased manufacturing and office space from KPK
Realty Corp. which, since October, 1974, has been owned 49% by Louis Peragallo,
an officer, a director and the largest shareholder of AIM prior to the Merger.
The annual rent for such lease was approximately $300,000 plus annual real
estate taxes on the leased property. Between 1989 and 1990, AIM advanced
$208,233 to KPK Realty Corp. In partial repayment of such advances from AIM,
rent in the amount of $22,992 in 2003, $127,737 in 2004 and $11,496 in 2005 was
offset by KPK Realty Corp. from the amounts due under such lease. In addition,
from 1990 to 2005, AIM was a guarantor of the mortgage (with a balance of
approximately $677,000 as of September 30, 2005) on such leased property. This
guaranty was terminated in connection with the Real Estate Acquisition.

      Prior to the Merger, AIM leased manufacturing space at an annual rental of
approximately $82,800, plus annual real estate taxes on such property, from DPPR
Realty Corp. which, since January, 2003 has been 100% owned by Peter Rettaliata
and Dario Peragallo. Prior to the Merger, Messrs. Rettaliata and D. Peragallo
owned an aggregate of 36.84% of AIM's outstanding capital stock. Messrs.
Rettaliata and D. Peragallo were officers of AIM prior to the Merger and are
officers and directors of the Company. From February 2003 to November 30, 2005,
AIM was also a guarantor of the mortgage (with a balance of approximately
$567,000 as of September 30, 2005) on such leased property. This guaranty was
terminated in connection with the Real Estate Acquisition.

      In December, 2002, Peter Rettaliata and Dario Peragallo purchased from AIM
for $257,058 an option to purchase DPPR Realty Corp. Subsequently, Mr.
Rettaliata and D. Peragallo purchased DPPR Realty Corp. and each now owns 50% of
DPPR Realty Corp.

      In June, 1995, an individual who held 49% of the outstanding capital stock
of AIM sold such interest to Jorge Peragallo and Peter Rettaliata for cash and a
$625,000 principal amount promissory note from each of Mr. J. Peragallo and Mr.
Rettaliata ($1,250,000 in the aggregate). AIM guaranteed the repayment of these
promissory notes, which aggregated $1,250,000 in principal amount. These
promissory notes were repaid in full in June 2005.

      Peter Retttaliata, who was an officer of AIM prior to the Closing Date,
advanced $5,000 to AIM during 2003 and $42,678 to AIM during 2004. Dario
Peragallo, who was an officer of AIM prior to the Closing Date, advanced $5,000
to AIM during 2003 and $39,334 to AIM during 2004. Luis Peragallo, who was an
officer of AIM prior to the Closing Date, advanced $5,000 to AIM during 2003 and
$18,179 to AIM during 2004. Jorge Peragallo, who was an officer of AIM prior to
the Closing Date, advanced $5,000 to AIM during 2003 and $38,344 to AIM during
2004. As of September 30, 2005, AIM had received an aggregate of $363,323 in
loans from its officers and was obligated to repay such amount to its officers.
Such amount was repaid in connection with the Acquisition. In October, 2005, AIM
agreed to pay an aggregate of $225,000 to its officers to enable them to pay
income taxes accrued while operating AIM as a Subchapter S corporation. Such
amount was paid in connection with the Acquisition.

                                       28

      Transactions Relating to the Acquisition and Other Related Transactions:

      On the Closing Date, Gales Industries consummated the acquisition (the
"Acquisition") from Messrs. Luis Peragallo, Jorge Peragallo, Peter Rettaliata
and Dario Peragallo (the "AIM Shareholders"), of all of the outstanding capital
stock of AIM. Gales Industries had entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
AIM and the AIM Shareholders ("Acquisition Agreement") as of July 25, 2005. The
aggregate purchase price paid to the AIM Shareholders consisted of (i)
$3,114,296 in cash, (ii) $1,627,262 principal amount of promissory notes,
payable over five years, of which $962,000 were in the form of a secured
subordinated promissory note payable to Mr. Luis Peragallo and $665,262 were in
the form of unsecured convertible promissory notes ($332,631 payable to Mr.
Peter Rettaliata and $332,631 payable to Mr. Dario Peragallo), convertible into
shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.40 per share, and (iii) 490,060 shares
of newly issued Common Stock. The 490,060 shares of Common Stock issued to the
AIM Shareholders were allocated as follows: 253,214 shares to Luis Peragallo,
118,423 shares to Peter Rettaliata and 118,423 shares to Dario Peragallo. The
unsecured convertible promissory notes issued to Messrs. Rettaliata and D.
Peragallo will automatically be converted into Common Stock if the shares into
which such notes may be converted are registered under the Securities Act and
such registration has become effective. In addition to paying the cash portion
of the purchase price for the Acquisition, Gales Industries distributed
approximately $690,000 to the AIM Shareholders in satisfaction of certain loans
from them and to enable them to pay income taxes accrued while operating AIM as
a Subchapter S corporation.

      The Acquisition Agreement provided that, upon completion of the
Acquisition, Gales Industries would pay up to $300,000 of legal and accounting
expenses incurred by the AIM Shareholders in connection with the Acquisition
Agreement. AIM paid $300,000 for such expenses in connection with the closing of
the Acquisition.

      As of the Closing Date, the Company entered into employment agreements
with Messrs. Gales, Giusto, Rettaliata and D. Peragallo and issued stock options
to them. See "Executive Compensation - Employment Agreements", above.

      As of the Closing Date, Acquisition Corp. completed the purchased from
entities which are owned, in part, by affiliates of AIM (KPK Realty Corp. and
DPPR Realty Corp.), for the aggregate purchase price $4,190,000, of the
properties, described above, which were being leased by AIM prior to the Closing
Date from such entities. The purchase price paid to KPK Realty Corp. was
$2,690,000 and the purchase price paid to DPPR Realty Corp. was $1,500,000.
Acquisition Corp. contemporaneously merged into AIM, with AIM being the
surviving entity, so that AIM became the owner of such properties.

8. Description of Securities.

      As of August 24, 2005, our shareholders approved an amendment to our
Articles of Incorporation which increased the number of our authorized shares of
Common Stock, $.001 par value per share, from 30,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares,
and authorized 10,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock, $.001 par
value per share. In connection with the Reverse Split, our total authorized
Common Stock was reduced to 120,055,746 shares and our total authorized
preferred stock was reduced to 8,003,716 shares.

                                       29

Common Stock

      The Company has a total of 120,055,746 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par
value authorized, of which approximately 14,469,797 shares were outstanding as
of the Closing Date.

      The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as
declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefore. Upon dissolution
of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share, pro rata, in
the Company's net assets after payment of or provision for all debts and
liabilities of the Company, and after provision for any class of Preferred Stock
or other senior security which may be issued by the Company. Each share of
Common Stock is entitled to participate on a pro rata basis with each other
share of such stock in dividends and other distributions declared on shares of
Common Stock.

      The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders and may not cumulate their votes
for the election of directors. The holders of Common Stock do not have
preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of any class that may be
issued by the Company, and no share of Common Stock is entitled in any manner to
any preference over any other share of such stock.

Preferred Stock

      The Company has authorized a total of 8,003,716 shares of "blank check"
preferred stock, $.001 par value, of which 1,000 shares have been designated
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock").

      In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Board of
Directors may, by resolution, issue additional preferred stock in one or more
series at such time or times and for such consideration as the Board of
Directors may determine. The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to
provide for such designations, preferences, voting power (or no voting power),
relative, participating, optional or other special rights and privileges as it
determines.

      The Company has the power to issue additional preferred stock, or
different classes or series of preferred stock ranking senior to or on parity
with the Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation,
winding up, or dissolution, only with the approval or consent of at least a
majority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

      The Company may issue additional preferred stock to effect a business
combination, to raise capital or for other reasons. In addition, additional
preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or
preventing a change in control of the Company.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

      The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive payment-in-kind
dividends (payable in shares of Preferred Stock), prior to and in preference to
any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Common Stock, at the rate of
8% per annum. Dividends are cumulative and accrue if not paid. No dividends will
accrue on shares of Preferred Stock which are issued as a dividend. If a
registration statement for the resale by investors in the Offering of the Common
Stock underlying the Preferred Stock is not filed within 45 days of the earlier
of the termination or the final closing of the Offering or declared effective
within six months of such earlier date, the dividend on the Preferred Stock will

                                       30

be paid in cash from the date of such default until the default is cured. Such
dividends will be paid until the Preferred Stock is converted into shares of
Common Stock. Fractional shares of Preferred Stock may be issued as a dividend
on the Preferred Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock will have a stated value
of $10,000 and such stated value will be the basis for calculating dividends on
the Preferred Stock. For example, one share of Preferred Stock will accrue a
dividend of .08 share of Preferred Stock per year or .02 share of Preferred
Stock per quarter and, if dividends are due in cash, will accrue a dividend of
$800 per year.

      Subject to adjustment, each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the
option of the holder at any time into 45,455 shares of Common Stock, at the
conversion price of $0.22 per share. The Preferred Stock will be automatically
converted into Common Stock, at the then applicable conversion rate, at such
time as the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock have been
registered for resale under the Securities Act and the registration statement
with respect to such shares has been declared effective. Any fractional share of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any holder's Preferred Stock will be
rounded up to a whole share of Common Stock.

      Without the approval of the holders of at least a majority of the
outstanding Preferred Stock voting together as a single class on an
as-if-converted to Common Stock basis, the Company will not take any action to
(i) alter, change or amend preferences, privileges or rights of the Preferred
Stock, (ii) redeem shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, (iii) pay or
declare any dividends (other than dividends on the Preferred Stock) or make any
other distributions on the Company's capital stock, or (iv) authorize, create
and/or issue capital stock with rights or privileges that are or superior to the
Preferred Stock.

      The Preferred Stock has anti-dilution protection on a weighted-average
basis in the event of future issuances of Common Stock (or securities
convertible into Common Stock) at a price (or conversion price) below the price
at which the Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock, which is $0.22
per share. No such anti-dilution adjustment will be made in the case of the
issuance of (i) any shares or other securities in connection with any employee,
management or director stock option or incentive plans; (ii) any shares or other
securities in connection with any acquisition or merger transactions entered
into by the Company or its subsidiaries; (iii) any shares or other securities to
the Placement Agent; (iv) any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock; and (v) any shares or other securities outstanding as of
the Closing Date or to be outstanding upon conversion or exercise of such
securities.

      The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights on
matters with respect to which the holders of the Common Stock may vote until six
months after the earlier of the termination or the final closing of the
Offering, except that the holders of Preferred Stock may vote as a class with
respect to the protective provisions relating to the Preferred Stock, set forth
in the second preceding paragraph. After such six-month period, the holders of
the Preferred Stock will have voting rights as though their shares of Preferred
Stock were converted into Common Stock. In addition, the holders of Preferred
Stock will vote on an as-if-converted basis if the Company defaults in its
obligation to timely file a registration statement with respect to the Common
Stock into which the Preferred Stock is convertible and such default is
continuing.

      The Company intends to promptly register for sale under the Securities Act
all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and
all shares of Preferred Stock which may be issued as dividends. In addition, the
holders of Preferred Stock will have two "piggyback" registration rights with
respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock, subject to
standard underwriter cutbacks. The holder of the Preferred Stock may transfer to
a transferee of Preferred Stock the registration rights with respect to the
Preferred Stock. The registration rights of any holder of Preferred Stock will
terminate at the earlier of (i) two years from the earlier of the termination or

                                       31

the final closing of the Offering, or (ii) the date as of which all shares of
Common Stock underlying such holder's Preferred Stock can be sold in any
three-month period without volume restriction in compliance with Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. If a registration statement is not filed within 45 days of
the earlier of the termination or the final closing of the Offering or declared
effective within six months of such earlier date, the dividend on the Preferred
Stock is required to be paid in cash from the date of such default until the
default is cured.

      In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders
of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of
Common Stock, an amount equal to two times the stated value of the Preferred
Stock, plus any dividends thereon ("Liquidation Payment"). Thereafter, the
remaining assets of the Company will be distributed ratably to the holders of
Common Stock. If the assets of the Company are insufficient to permit the full
payment of the Liquidation Payment, then the assets will be distributed pro rata
among the holders of the Preferred Stock.

      As of November 29, 2005, there were approximately 78 holders of record of
our Common Stock.

                                       32

      Our Common Stock is covered by an SEC rule that imposes additional sales
practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons
other than established customers and accredited investors, which are generally
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals with net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly
with their spouse. For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must
make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and transaction prior
to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to
sell our securities, and also may affect the ability of purchasers of our stock
to sell their shares in the secondary market. It may also cause fewer
broker-dealers to be willing to make a market in our common stock, and it may
affect the level of news coverage we receive.

      Prior to June 29, 2000, we were not a reporting company and were not
required to file quarterly, annual, and other reports with the SEC.

      We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock since
our inception, and our Board of Directors currently intends to retain all
earnings for use in the business for the foreseeable future. Any future payment
of dividends will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition,
cash requirements, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.
Prior to the Merger, AIM was a Subchapter S corporation and made distributions
to its shareholders to enable them to pay income taxes on their allocable
portion of the Company's income.

      Approximately 41,954,893 shares of Common Stock upon completion of the
initial closing of the Offering, and approximately 48,487,123 shares of Common
Stock in case the Maximum Offering is completed, are subject to issuance upon
exercise or conversion of outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or
securities convertible into, shares of Common Stock.

      The following table provides information as of December 31, 2004 about our
Common Stock that would have been issued upon the exercise of options under our
1998 Stock Option Plan for employees, officers, directors, and independent
contractors. These obligations expired, unexercised, when the holders failed to
exercise their options.

                                                                                                          (c)

(1) All of the foregoing options, other than options exercisable for a total of
44,020 shares of our Common Stock which are vested in favor of Messrs. Alflen
and Pomerantz, terminated on January 28, 2005, the effective date of our Plan of
Reorganization. Therefore, as of January 28, 2005, approximately 956,000 shares
of Common Stock were remaining available for future issuance under our 1998
Stock Option Plan.

(2) Our 1998 Stock Option Plan has been approved by our shareholders. In
connection with the Merger, we adopted our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, which has
not yet been approved by our shareholders, and issued stock options to our new
executive officers. See "Executive Compensation- Employment Agreements".

      Registration Rights

      Within six months after the Closing Date, the Company is planning to
register for resale under the Securities Act approximately 46,339,955 shares of
Common Stock (in case the Maximum Offering is completed) which will either be
outstanding or be issuable upon conversion or exercise of preferred stock,
convertible notes or warrants. The Company also intends to register on Form S-8
under the Securities Act an additional 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which
are the shares available for issuance under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan,
combined with the 4,850,000 shares underlying the stock options granted by Gales
Industries which have become options to purchase an equal number of shares of
our Common Stock. Among the outstanding shares of Common Stock which do not
carry registration rights, the shares of Common Stock held by the shareholders
of Ashlin prior to the Merger will be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act.

10. Legal Proceedings.

      A legal action seeking $5,000,000 has been brought against AIM by an
independent contractor for personal injury allegedly caused by a fall in AIM's
premises. AIM has insurance coverage in the amount of $4,000,000. At a
settlement mediation, the plaintiff made a demand of $2,000,000. The Company
believes that any liability accruing to AIM in this case will not exceed the
insurance coverage maintained by AIM for personal injury.

      Ashlin was involved in litigation with J.C. Herbert Bryant, III, a former
officer, director and shareholders of Ashlin, and KMS-Thin Tab 100, Inc., which
was settled in September 2002. As part of the settlement, we entered into a
distribution agreement with Mr. Bryant, beginning on September 26, 2002 and
ending on September 25, 2007, permitting Mr. Bryant to purchase certain products
from us and to exclusively distribute those products in Florida from Orlando
south. In October 2003, we terminated the distribution agreement with KMS based
on KMS's breach of material terms of the agreement. On December 1, 2003, we
filed suit against KMS-Thin Tab 100, Inc. in the Palm Beach County Circuit Court
(Case No. 2003CA012757XXCDAN) for breach of contract, trademark infringement and

                                       34

for a declaration of rights that the distribution agreement is terminated and of
no further force and effect. KMS answered the complaint and filed its own
counterclaim for fraud in the inducement, trademark infringement, dilution and
fraudulent misrepresentation; the fraud-based counterclaims were dismissed with
prejudice by the Court on summary judgment. KMS subsequently amended its
counterclaim to allege a breach of contract under the distribution agreement. In
January 2005, the State Court in Florida ruled that neither party should
prevail, and rejected a request for attorney's fees by KMS-Thin Tab 100 Inc.,
thus adjudicating the matter. KMS-Thin Tab 100 Inc. subsequently filed a notice
of appeal.

      Subsequently, on July 29, 2005, the 4th District Court of Appeals granted
the Company's motion to dismiss the appeal by KMS-Thin Tab 100 Inc. The Company
is not aware of any other outstanding litigation.

11. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants.

      Not Applicable.

12. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

      Shares Issued By Gales Industries and In Connection With the Acquisition:

      As of October 28, 2004, immediately after its incorporation, Gales
Industries issued 4,401,219 shares of its common stock to its founder and
Executive Chairman and 3,404,538 shares of its common stock to its founder and
Vice Chairman for nominal consideration. As of the same date, Gales Industries
issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to each of the Company's non-employee
directors in consideration for service on the Board through 2006. As of the same
date, Gales Industries issued 150,000 shares of its common stock to a law firm
and 100,000 shares of its common stock to another law firm in consideration for
legal services. As of the same date, in consideration for services, Gales
Industried issued in the name of a consultant 250,000 shares of its common
stock, of which 75,000 shares were deemed to be delivered to the consultant as
of the Closing Date. 175,000 of such 250,000 shares of common stock were issued
in consideration of past consulting services to Gales Industries and the 75,000
additional shares of common stock were issued in partial consideration of M&A
and related services to be provided to the Company during the one-year period
following the completion of the Offering.

      Gales Industries entered into an Investment Banking/Advisory Agreement
("Atlas Agreement"), dated as of January 11, 2005, with Atlas Capital Services,
LLC ("Atlas"). The Atlas Agreement provided that Atlas would receive newly
issued shares equal to 4% of a publicly-held company introduced by Atlas to
Gales Industries, provided that Gales Industries enters into a reverse merger
transaction with such company. Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger,
Gales Industries issued to various designees of Atlas an aggregate of 1,477,230
shares of its common stock in satisfaction of such obligation to Atlas.

      In connection with the Acquisition of AIM, Gales Industries issued
$332,631 principal amount convertible note to each of Mr. Rettaliata and D.
Peragallo. Each such convertible note is convertible into shares of Common Stock
at the conversion price of $0.40 per share. Also, in connection with the
Acquisition of AIM, Gales Industries issued shares of its common stock which,
pursuant to the Merger, have become 253,214 shares of Common Stock in the name
of Luis Peragallo, 118,423 shares of Common Stock in the name of Peter
Rettaliata and 118,423 shares of Common Stock to Dario Peragallo. See "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions - Transactions Relating to the
Acquisition and Other Related Transactions."

                                       35

      In February 2005, Gales Industries, in consideration for an investment of
$22,500, issued to the investor a convertible promissory note in the principal
amount of $22,500 convertible at the price of $0.11 per share into shares of
Common Stock. The holder of this note has given us notice to convert such note
into shares of Common Stock. For no additional consideration, Gales Industries
issued a warrant to the investor to purchase 409,091 shares of Common Stock at
the per share exercise price equal to 50% of the per share conversion price of
the convertible note issued to such investor.

      In August 2005, Gales Industries, in consideration for $45,000 in
aggregate investment, issued to the investors convertible promissory notes in
the aggregate principal amount of $45,000, convertible at the price of $0.22 per
share of Common Stock. These notes have been repaid. For no additional
consideration, Gales Industries issued to such investors warrants to purchase
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares into which
the $45,000 Bridge Note can be converted (204,545), exercisable at $0.22 per
share. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions - Transactions
Relating to Gales Industries."

      In September 2005, Gales Industries received $105,000 in financing from
investors (the "$105,000 Financing") and, in connection therewith, issued to
such investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 477,273 of shares of Common
Stock at a price of $0.22 per share. The Placement Agent served as agent in the
$105,000 Financing and received compensation upon the same terms as provided in
the Offering.

      As of the Closing Date, Gales Industries issued to its officers stock
options to purchase shares of common stock as follows: 1,250,000 options to Mr.
Gales, and 1,200,000 options each to Mr. Giusto, Rettaliata and D. Peragallo.
See "Executive Compensation - Employment Agreements."

      Shares Issued by the Company in Connection with the Merger and the
Offering:

      As of the Closing Date, pursuant to the Merger, the shareholders of Gales
Industries were issued an aggregate of 10,645,817 shares of our Common Stock by
the Company. In addition, 100,000 shares of Common Stock were issued by the
Company as of the Closing Date to Mr. James A. Brown in consideration for his
agreement to serve on the Board. As part of the Merger, the other non-employee
directors of the Company also received 100,000 shares of Common Stock in
exchange for their 100,000 shares of Gales Industries common stock.

      As of the Closing Date, in connection with the Offering and the Merger,
679.328 shares of Gales Industries Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were
exchanged for the same number of shares of Preferred Stock of the Company. Each
share of Preferred Stock is convertible into 45,455 shares of Common Stock.

      Such 679.328 shares of Preferred Stock (not including shares of Preferred
Stock issuable as dividends) are convertible into an aggregate of 30,878,855
shares of our Common Stock. In connection with the Offering, the Placement Agent
was issued the Placement Agent Warrants. See "Summary" above.

      The $22,500 convertible bridge note issued by Gales Industries in February
2005 has been converted by its holder and, in connection therewith, the Company
will issue to the holder 204,545 shares of Common Stock plus the number of
shares equal to 12% interest accrued on such note for approximately 10 months,
divided by the $0.11 conversion price of such note.

                                       36

      Shares Issued by Ashlin:

      On July 30, 2003, Ashlin issued to two Board members an aggregate of
approximately 160,075 shares of Common Stock in return for services performed.
The fair value of such shares of Common Stock was recorded as $24,000 in the
aggregate.

      As of September 16, 2005, Ashlin issued approximately 80,038 shares of
Common Stock to a consultant in return for consulting services.

      As of January 2005, as part of the Plan of Reorganization, Ashlin issued
approximately 240,112 shares of Common Stock to James Brown (Ashlin's chairman
and chief executive officer) upon Ashlin's emergence from bankruptcy protection.
The fair value of such shares was recorded as $12,000 in the aggregate. In March
2005, the Company issued approximately 256,119 shares of Common Stock to Mr.
Brown. The fair value of such 256,119 shares was determined to be $32,000 in the
aggregate. On August 13, 2003, Ashlin issued approximately 80,038 shares of
Common Stock to Mr. Brown in consideration of his services as a director of
Ashlin.

      In March 2005, Ashlin issued approximately 80,038 shares of Common Stock
to Global Business Resources, Inc., a Fort Lauderdale based consulting firm, as
partial compensation for services to Ashlin.

      During each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, options to
purchase approximately 40,019 shares of Common Stock were granted to the chief
executive officer of Ashlin.

      Other than such sales of shares and the securities issued in connection
with the Merger and the Offering described above, during the past three years,
Gales Industries and Ashlin did not sell any securities which were not
registered under the Securities Act. We believe that the issuances in connection
with such sales, the Merger and the Offering were exempt from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

13. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

      Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that we will
indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened
to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or such
person's testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of our
company or serves or served at our request as a director, officer or employee of
another corporation or entity.

      We may enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers, in
addition to the indemnification provided for in our articles of incorporation
and by-laws. These agreements, among other things, would indemnify our directors
and officers for certain expenses (including advancing expenses for attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in
any action or proceeding, including any action by us or in our right, arising
out of such person's services as a director or officer of our Company, any

                                       37

subsidiary of ours or any other company or enterprise to which the person
provides services at our request. In addition, we have received a commitment for
insurance providing indemnification for our directors and officers for certain
liabilities and believe that the effective date of such insurance will be
retroactive to the closing of the Merger. We believe that these indemnification
provisions and agreements and related insurance are necessary to attract and
retain qualified directors and officers.

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Air Industries Machining Corporation

      We have audited the accompanying Comparative Balance Sheets of Air
Industries Machining Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
and the related Statements of Income and Retained Earnings and Cash Flows for
each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Air Industries Machining Corporation management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

      We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Air Industries Machining
Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

      Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in
the accompanying comparative schedules of manufacturing overhead, selling,
general and administrative expenses, is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion
on it.

                                                    Respectfully submitted,

                                December 31, 2004

1- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Background of Company

            The Company was incorporated in the State of New York and maintains
            its principal place of business in Bay Shore, New York. The
            Corporation is primarily engaged in machining parts for the
            aerospace industry. Its customer base is primarily publicly traded
            companies.

      Cash Equivalents

            Cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with an
            original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist
            primarily of money market accounts.

      Accounts Receivable

            Management has elected to record bad debts using the direct
            write-off method. Generally accepted accounting principles require
            that the allowance method be used to reflect bad debts. However, the
            effect of the use of the direct write-off method is not materially
            different from the results that would have been obtained had the
            allowance method been followed. Additionally, the major customers of
            the Company are publicly traded companies of substantial size and
            sizeable net worth.

      Inventories

            Inventories used in determining Cost of Goods Sold are stated at the
            lower of cost or market.

      Plant, Property and Equipment

            Fixed assets are carried at cost. Major additions and betterments
            are charged to the property accounts while maintenance and repairs
            are charged against income in the year incurred. Assets retired, or
            otherwise disposed of, are eliminated from the property accounts and
            the related amounts of depreciation are eliminated from the
            accumulated depreciation accounts. Gains or losses from dispositions
            are included in income.

      Depreciation

            Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to allocate the
            cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful
            lives using the straight-line and declining balance methods.

                                                                               8

1- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

      Use of Estimates

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
            accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
            and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
            disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
            estimates.

      Finance Costs

            Costs connected with obtaining and executing debt arrangements are
            capitalized and amortized on the straight-line basis over the term
            of the related debt.

      Tax Status

            The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected under the
            Internal Revenue Code and New York State law to be taxed as an "S"
            corporation. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders are
            taxed on their proportionate share of the company's net income.
            Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has
            been made in the accompanying financial statements.

4- NOTES PAYABLE - BANKS

            The Company has negotiated a credit facility dated August of 2003
            with a major lending institution. The facility is secured by a first
            priority interest in all accounts receivable, inventory and
            equipment presently owned or hereafter acquired by the Company. The
            indebtedness bears interest at the rate of 1/2 percent above the
            prime rate of interest or a libor margin of 3%.

            The terms of the facility require, among other things, the Company
            to maintain certain financial ratios and levels of working capital,
            which are set forth below: These financial ratios and levels of
            working capital have been amended as of 5/14/04.

                                 Minimum Tangible Net Worth

                  Closing Date -
                  12/31/03 - 12/30/04                                 $3,250,000
                  12/31/04 - 12/30/05                                  3,400,000
                  12/31/05 - Termination Date                          3,800,000

                                      Maximum Leverage

                  Closing Date -
                  12/31/03 - 12/30/04                                     3.00:1
                  12/31/04 - 12/30/05                                     2.80:1

                  Closing Date - Termination Date                     $  900,000

            For the purpose of calculating the ratios, Prepaid Expenses are
            considered to be a non-current asset and advances to KPK Realty
            Corp. are considered to be an intangible asset. Notes Payable to
            Bank are deemed to be current liabilities.

            Tangible Net Worth, as defined in the loan agreement, amounted to
            $4,047,486. The covenant for minimum Tangible Net Worth calls for
            $3,400,000.

            Working Capital, as defined in the loan agreement, amounted to
            $2,574,974. The covenant for Working Capital calls for a minimum of

                                                                              10

4- NOTES PAYABLE - BANKS (Continued)

            2.80. As of the Balance Sheet date, the maximum leverage ratio
            amounted 2.89.

            The loans are guaranteed jointly and severally by the principals of
            the Company, as well as the affiliated companies KPK Realty
            Corporation and DPPR Realty Corp.

            Except as amended, all other terms and conditions of the agreement
            remained unchanged and continue in full force and effect.

            As of the Balance Sheet date the Company is in violation of certain
            financial covenants that had been negotiated with the lending
            institution, specifically, the minimum leverage ratio requirement.
            The Company has requested a waiver of this covenant from the lending
            institution and in fact has been granted such a waiver.

8- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

            The Company presently leases manufacturing and office facilities
            under a lease expiring June 30, 2005, at an annual rental of
            $300,000, plus annual real estate tax payable by the lessee.

            This lease is between the Company and KPK Realty Corp., a
            corporation in which 49% is owned by the majority stockholder of the
            Company. Additionally, the Company is a guarantor of the mortgage on
            the leased premises. The present balance of that mortgage is
            approximately $736,000.

            The Company also leases manufacturing facilities pursuant to a lease
            expiring in 2014 at an annual rental of $82,800, plus annual real
            estate tax payable by the lessee. This lease is between the Company
            and DPPR Realty Corporation, a corporation owned by the stockholders
            of the Corporation. Additionally, the Company is a guarantor of the
            mortgage on the leased premises. The present balance of that
            mortgage is approximately $587,786.

            Additionally, the Company is a guarantor on an obligation to a
            former shareholder that had a 49% equity position in the
            Corporation. The former shareholder sold his stock and the amount
            still owing on the original obligation of $1,250,000 to the former
            shareholder by the current shareholders is presently $81,828.

            injury sustained by an independent contractor caused by a fall on
            the premises of the Company in the amount of $5,000,000. This action
            is scheduled for trial in June of 2005. The Company has insurance
            coverage in the amount of $4,000,000. At a settlement mediation,
            plaintiff made a demand of $2,000,000. In the opinion of counsel
            representing the Company the full value of the case would be well
            within the insurance coverage maintained by the Company.

                         Independent Accountants' Report

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Air Industries Machining Corporation

      We have reviewed the unaudited comparative Balance Sheets of Air
Industries Machining Corporation at September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004,
the related unaudited Statements of Income and Retained Earnings and Cash Flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004. This
financial information is the responsibility of the company's management.

      We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an examination in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

      Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial information for it to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

      Our review was made for the purpose of expressing limited assurance that
there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial
statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. The supplementary information
included in the accompanying comparative schedules of manufacturing overhead,
selling, general and administrative expenses, is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements. Such information has not been subjected to the inquiry and
analytical procedures applied in the review of the basic financial statements,
but were compiled from information that is the representation of management,
without audit or review. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other
form of assurance on the supplementary information.

                                                    Respectfully submitted,

                                                    BILDNER & GIANNASCO, LLP

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                               September 30, 2005

1- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Background of Company

            The Company was incorporated in the State of New York and maintains
            its principal place of business in Bay Shore, New York. The
            Corporation is primarily engaged in machining parts for the
            aerospace industry. Its customer base is primarily publicly traded
            companies.

      Cash Equivalents

            Cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with an
            original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist
            primarily of money market accounts.

      Accounts Receivable

            Management has elected to record bad debts using the direct
            write-off method. Generally accepted accounting principles require
            that the allowance method be used to reflect bad debts. However, the
            effect of the use of the direct write-off method is not materially
            different from the results that would have been obtained had the
            allowance method been followed. Additionally, the major customers of
            the Company are publicly traded companies of substantial size and
            sizeable net worth.

      Inventories

            Inventories used in determining Cost of Goods Sold are stated at the
            lower of cost or market.

      Plant, Property and Equipment

            Fixed assets are carried at cost. Major additions and betterments
            are charged to the property accounts while maintenance and repairs
            are charged against income in the year incurred. Assets retired, or
            otherwise disposed of, are eliminated from the property accounts and
            the related amounts of depreciation are eliminated from the
            accumulated depreciation accounts. Gains or losses from dispositions
            are included in income.

      Depreciation

            Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to allocate the
            cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful
            lives using the straight-line and declining balance methods.

                                                                               8

1- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

      Use of Estimates

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
            accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
            and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
            disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
            estimates.

      Finance Costs

            Costs connected with obtaining and executing debt arrangements are
            capitalized and amortized on the straight-line basis over the term
            of the related debt.

      Tax Status

            The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected under the
            Internal Revenue Code and New York State law to be taxed as an "S"
            corporation. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders are
            taxed on their proportionate share of the company's net income.
            Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has
            been made in the accompanying financial statements.

2- INVENTORIES

            For interim reporting purposes management estimates were provided in
            arriving at inventories. Management arrived at these estimates by
            utilizing the gross profit percentage method by analyzing the
            purchase of raw materials and other direct costs incurred for the
            period and by estimating the stage of completion of work in process.

3- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

            The following transactions occurred between the Company and certain
            related parties.

            The Company presently leases manufacturing and office space from KPK
            Realty Corp. (see Note 8), in which 49% ownership rests with a major
            stockholder of the Company. The total monies advanced KPK Realty
            Corp. amounted to $208,233. The Company was being repaid in the form
            of a rent offset in the amount of $22,992 per year. See Note 8 for
            details concerning the ownership of KPK Realty Corp. and the
            guaranty by the Corporation of a debt between the present minority
            shareholders and the former majority shareholder of the Corporation.

            Additionally, the Company leases manufacturing space from DPPR
            Realty Corp. (see Note 8), which is 100% owned by two of the
            shareholders of the Corporation who in the aggregate own 36.84% of
            the Company.

                                                                               9

4- NOTES PAYABLE - BANKS

            The Company has negotiated a credit facility dated August of 2003
            with a major lending institution. The facility is secured by a first
            priority interest in all accounts receivable, inventory and
            equipment presently owned or hereafter acquired by the Company. The
            indebtedness bears interest at the rate of 1/2 percent above the
            prime rate of interest or a libor margin of 3%.

            The terms of the facility require, among other things, the Company
            to maintain certain financial ratios and levels of working capital,
            which are set forth below: These financial ratios and levels of
            working capital have been amended as of 5/14/04.

                               Minimum Tangible Net Worth

                  Closing Date -
                  12/31/03 - 12/30/04                                 $3,250,000
                  12/31/04 - 12/30/05                                  3,400,000
                  12/31/05 - Termination Date                          3,800,000

                                    Maximum Leverage

                  Closing Date -
                  12/31/03 - 12/30/04                                     3.00:1
                  12/31/04 - 12/30/05                                     2.80:1
                  12/31/05 - Termination Date                             2.50:1

                                    Working Capital

                  Closing Date - Termination Date                     $  900,000

            For the purpose of calculating the ratios, Prepaid Expenses are
            considered to be a non-current asset and advances to KPK Realty
            Corp. are considered to be an intangible asset. Notes Payable to
            Bank are deemed to be current liabilities.

            Tangible Net Worth, as defined in the loan agreement, amounted to
            $4,740,028. The covenant for minimum Tangible Net Worth calls for
            $3,400,000.

            Working Capital, as defined in the loan agreement, amounted to
            $3,594,887. The covenant for Working Capital calls for a minimum of
            $900,000.

                                                                              10

4- NOTES PAYABLE - BANKS (Continued)

            The maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the loan agreement is
            2.80. As of the Balance Sheet date, the maximum leverage ratio

8- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

            The Company  presently leases  manufacturing  and office  facilities
            under  a lease  expiring  May  31,  2005,  at an  annual  rental  of
            $300,000,  plus annual  real  estate tax  payable by the lessee.  An
            extension  through  November 30, 2005 has been  executed by both the
            lessor and the lessee.

            This  lease  is  between  the  Company  and  KPK  Realty  Corp.,   a
            corporation in which 49% is owned by the majority stockholder of the
            Company. Additionally, the Company is a guarantor of the mortgage on
            the  leased  premises.  The  present  balance  of that  mortgage  is
            approximately $677,000.

            The Company also leases manufacturing facilities pursuant to a lease
            expiring in 2014 at an annual  rental of  $82,800,  plus annual real
            estate tax payable by the lessee.  This lease is between the Company
            and DPPR Realty Corporation, a corporation owned by the stockholders
            of the Corporation.  Additionally, the Company is a guarantor of the
            mortgage  on the  leased  premises.  The  present  balance  of  that
            mortgage is approximately $567,000.

            Additionally,  the  Company is a  guarantor  on an  obligation  to a
            former   shareholder   that  had  a  49%  equity   position  in  the
            Corporation.  The former shareholder sold his stock for the original
            obligation  of  $1,250,000.  As of the  date  of  this  report  this
            obligation has been satisfied.

            A legal  action has been  brought  against the Company for  personal
            injury  sustained by an independent  contractor  caused by a fall on
            the premises of the Company in the amount of $5,000,000. This action
            is scheduled  for trial in June of 2005.  The Company has  insurance
            coverage in the amount of  $4,000,000.  At a  settlement  mediation,
            plaintiff  made a demand of  $2,000,000.  In the  opinion of counsel
            representing  the  Company  the full value of the case would be well
            within the insurance coverage maintained by the Company.

                           CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

$332,631.00                                                    November 30, 2005
                                                              New York, New York

      For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Gales Industries, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay to the order of Peter Rettaliata or his registered
assigns (the "Holder"), the principal sum of Three Hundred Thirty Two Thousand
Six Hundred Thirty One Dollars ($332,631.00) on the earlier of (i) November 30,
2010 (the "Scheduled Due Date") and (ii) when, upon or after the occurrence of
an Event of Default (as defined below), such amount is declared due and payable
by the Holder or made automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof (the "Maturity Date").

      From the date hereof to (and including) the Scheduled Due Date, interest
shall accrue on the unpaid principal sum of this Note at an adjustable rate
equal to the "Prime Rate" (as hereinafter defined), as adjusted as provided for
herein, plus 0.5% per annum. All accrued interest shall be paid together with
principal on the Maturity Date. Interest shall accrue on any portion of the
principal amount of this Note outstanding from time to time after the Scheduled
Due Date until payment thereof in full, at a floating rate equal to the Prime
Rate plus 7% per annum. For purposes hereof the "Prime Rate" means the rate
publicly announced by Citibank as its "prime rate" (even though Citibank may not
lend money at such rate) or, if Citibank ceases to quote such rate, the Federal
Funds rate. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year,
as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed and the rate of
interest charged hereunder shall change effective on the first day of each
calendar quarter (to wit, October 1, January 1, April 1 and July 1) to the Prime
Rate in effect as of the end of such date or the most recent business day. In no
event shall the Holder hereof, or any successor or permitted assign, be entitled
to receive, collect or retain any amount of interest paid hereon in excess of
that permitted by applicable law. All interest payable hereunder shall be paid,
subject to the provisions of Section 1(e) hereof, in the number of shares of
Common Stock (as defined below) equal to the quotient resulting from the
division of all such interest by the Conversion Price (as defined below).

      All payments made pursuant to this Note shall be applied first to
reimbursable expenses, interest accrued, if any, and then principal.

      This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement,
dated as of July 25, 2005 (as amended, the "Stock Purchase Agreement") entered
into among the Company, Peter Rettaliata, Air Industries Machining, Corp.
("AIM"), Jorge Peragallo, Luis Peragallo, and Dario Peragallo.

      The following is a statement of rights of the Holder and the conditions to
which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by acceptance of this Note,
agrees:

      1. Conversion. (a) From and after January 1, 2006, all, but not less than
all, of the outstanding principal amount of this Note together with interest
accrued thereon through and including the effective date of such conversion, is
convertible, at the option of Company, into shares of common stock of the
Company ("Common Stock") at a price of forty cents ($.40) per share (the
"Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms and provision
hereof (as so adjusted, the "Conversion Price"), provided that on the day that
the Conversion Notice (as hereinafter defined) is given by the Company to the
Holder and on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined), the following
conditions are satisfied: (i) (A) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion have been registered by the Company for resale by the Holder pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the
registration statement effecting such registration (the "Registration
Statement") is then currently effective or (B) there is available an exemption
that would permit such shares of Common Stock to be immediately resold by the
Holder; and (ii) any lock-up agreement entered into by the Holder in favor of or
at the request of the Company has expired or been waived. Any notice of
conversion ("Conversion Notice") must be given by the Company to all Holders of
record of this Note no less than thirty (30) days nor more than forty-five (45)
days prior to the date set forth for conversion (the "Conversion Date"). The
Conversion Notice shall remain effective only if the Registration Statement
remains effective continually throughout the notice period or counsel for the
Company does not revoke its opinion as to the availability of an exemption
permitting immediate resale of the Common Stock. On the Conversion Date, the
outstanding principal amount of this Note, and all interest accrued thereon
through and including the Conversion Date, shall automatically and without
further notice be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion
Price then in effect and not later than three (3) business days after the
presentation of this Note, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate
or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
then-outstanding principal amount of and interest accrued on this Note was
converted on the Conversion Date, together with cash in lieu of fractional
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1(e) hereof, if applicable.

      (b) From and after the earlier of (i) January 1, 2007, and (ii) the first
date on which the Company intends to effect any capital reorganization of the
Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
Company, any merger, consolidation or other combination of the Company with or
into any other Company, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all the
assets of the Company to any other person or any voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, all, but not less than
all, of the outstanding principal amount of this Note together with interest
accrued thereon through and including the effective date of such conversion, is
convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of Common Stock at the
Conversion Price. To effect such conversion, the Holder shall deliver this Note
with a duly executed Conversion Notice in the form annexed hereto to the Company
at the address set forth herein. For purposes of a conversion by the Holder, the
date upon which a Conversion Notice is received by the Company is referred to as

                                       2

the Conversion Date. On the Conversion Date, the outstanding principal amount of
this Note, and all interest accrued thereon through and including the Conversion
Date, shall automatically and without further notice be deemed converted into
shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect and not later than
three (3) business days after the presentation of this Note, the Company will
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of
shares of Common Stock into which the then-outstanding principal amount of and
interest accrued on this Note was converted on the Conversion Date, together
with cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1(e)
hereof, if applicable.

      (c) Upon request of the Company the Holder shall cooperate in the
registration under the Securities Act of the Common Stock issuable hereunder by
complying with its obligations under the Registration Rights Provisions annexed
hereto as Exhibit A (the "Registration Rights Provisions").

      (d) Subject to the provisions of this Section 1(d) and 1(e), the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be the entire
principal amount of this Note together with all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon through and including the Conversion Date, divided by the Conversion
Price then in effect.

            (i) If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the principal
amount of this Note shall be changed into the same or a different number of
shares of any other class or classes of stock or other equity security, whether
by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a
subdivision or combination of shares provided for below or a merger or
consolidation as provided for below) then, concurrently with the effectiveness
of such reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, the
securities issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be adjusted such that
this Note shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common
Stock that the Holders would otherwise be entitled to receive, a number of
shares of such other class or classes of stock or other equity security
equivalent to the number of shares of such class or classes that would have been
issued to the Holders had they converted this Note immediately prior to such
change and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to
and including the date of conversion, retained such securities receivable by
them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called
for during such period under this Section. The Conversion Price upon such
conversion shall be the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect
pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Company will not effect any such reorganization reclassification or other
similar transactions unless prior to the consummation thereof, the entity that
may be required to deliver stock upon the conversion of this Note shall agree by
an instrument in writing to deliver such stock, cash, or other equity security
to the Holder.

            (ii) If the Company at any time or from time to time makes or fixes
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to
receive any distributions payable in securities of the Company other than shares
of Common Stock and as otherwise adjusted in this Section, then and in such
event provision shall be made so that the Holder receives upon conversion

                                       3

hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable, the
amount of securities of the Company that he would have received had this Note
been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had he
thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the
date of conversion, retained such securities receivable as aforesaid during such
period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under
this Section.

            (iii) In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof shall (a) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in
shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or (c) combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then,
and in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to that price
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect by a fraction (x) the
numerator of which shall be the number of issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock immediately before such dividend, distribution, subdivision or
combination and (y) the denominator of which shall be the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after such dividend,
distribution, subdivision or combination. Upon such adjustment of the Conversion
Price, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Note shall be increased (in the case of a reduction in the Conversion Price) or
decreased (in the case of an increase in the Conversion Price) proportionately.

            (iv) If the Company shall merge, consolidate or otherwise combine
with or into another entity, this Note shall automatically become convertible
into the same kind and number of shares of stock and other securities, cash or
property (and upon the same terms and with the same rights) as would have been
received by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this
Note could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation
or combination, without change to the Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Company will not effect any such merger,
consolidation or combination, unless prior to consummation thereof, the entity
that may be required to deliver stock, cash, securities or other assets upon the
conversion of this Note shall agree by an instrument in writing to deliver such
stock, cash, securities or other assets to the Holder.

      (e) Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to
issue fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares
of Common Stock. In lieu thereof, the Company may, if otherwise permitted, make
a cash payment in respect of any fractional share based on the Conversion Price
at such time. No cash payment of less than $1.00 shall be required to be given
unless specifically requested by the Holder. If the Company elects not, or is
unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in
lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

      (f) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion
of this Note shall be made without charge to the holders thereof for any
documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue
or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other
than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

                                       4

      (g) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of this Note and the Convertible Promissory Note issued
to Dario Peragallo pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Peragallo
Note"), such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note and the Peragallo Note; and if
at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall
not be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note and the Peragallo Note,
the Company will promptly take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of
its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

      (h) In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price
or the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon
conversion of this Note, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause its Chief
Financial Officer to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with
the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or
readjustment, and shall send such certificate, by prepaid courier, to the
Holder. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing
in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. No
adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required to be made unless it would
result in an increase or decrease of at least one cent, but any adjustments not
made because of this sentence shall be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment otherwise required hereunder.

      (i) Upon (i) the establishment by the Company of a record of the holders
of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof
who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) any
capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization
of the capital stock of the Company, any merger, consolidation or other
combination of the Company with or into any other Company, or any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other
person or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company, the Company shall send to the Holder at least twenty days prior to
the record date specified therein a notice specifying (A) the date on which any
such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and
a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the date, if
any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or
other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or
other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up.

      (j) The Company shall not amend its Certificate of Incorporation or
participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action for the
purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of

                                       5

the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all
times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the
Holders of this Note against dilution or other impairment as provided herein.

      2. Events of Default. If any of the events specified in this Section 2
shall occur (herein individually referred to as an "Event of Default"), the
Holder may, so long as such condition exists, in addition to any other right,
power or remedy granted to the Holder under this Note, the Stock Purchase
Agreement or applicable law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or
both, declare the entire principal amount (and interest accrued thereon)
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand or notice of any kind,
all of which are expressly waived, provided, however, that upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default described in Section 2(c), 2(d) or 2(g) hereof, the
entire principal amount (and accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts
shall automatically become due and payable:

            (a) Payment of principal of this Note or interest accrued thereon
shall be delinquent for a period of 10 days after the due date thereof.

            (b) If the Company shall fail to observe any covenant or other
provision contained in this Note (other than with respect to payment), the Stock
Purchase Agreement or the Employment Agreement between the Company and Peter
Rettaliata, and such failure of observance shall be continuing for 10 days after
the Holder has given written notice thereof;

            (c) The institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated
as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings against it or the filing by it of a petition or answer or
consent seeking reorganization or release under the federal Bankruptcy Act, or
any other applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of
any such petition or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee or other similar official of the Company, or of any substantial part of
its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such
action;

            (d) If, within 45 days after the commencement of an action against
the Company (and service of process in connection therewith on the Company)
seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or
similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such
action shall not have been resolved in favor of the Company or all orders or
proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of the Company
stayed, or if the stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be set
aside, or if, within 45 days after the appointment without the consent or
acquiescence of the Company of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the
Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company, such
appointment shall not have been vacated;

            (e) Any default of the Company under any Indebtedness (as defined
below), whether such indebtedness now exists or is hereafter created, that gives
the holder thereof the right to accelerate such Indebtedness, and such
Indebtedness is in fact accelerated by the holder. For purposes hereof, the term
"Indebtedness" shall mean (i) all obligations of the Company for borrowed money,
(ii) all obligations of the Company evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or

                                       6

other similar instruments, including without limitation the Peragallo Note and

obligations and all obligations under any title retention agreement (but
excluding trade accounts payable and other accrued liabilities arising in the
ordinary course of business that are not overdue by 90 days or more or are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and
diligently conducted and any deferred purchase price represented by earn outs),
(v) all obligations for the reimbursement of any obligor on any letter of
credit, banker's acceptance or similar credit transaction (other than those
issued or incurred in respect of trade payables arising in the ordinary course
of business), (vi) all obligations, whether or not assumed, which are secured by
liens on the property belonging to the Company or payable out of the proceeds
flowing therefrom, or (vii) all obligations under any guarantee by the Company
of any Indebtedness or other obligation of any other person or entity;

            (f) One or more judgments for the payment of money in an amount in
excess of $100,000 in the aggregate shall be rendered against the Company or any

effectively stayed, or any action is legally taken by a judgment creditor to
levy upon any such judgment; or

            (g) Peter Rettaliata shall have terminated his employment for Good
Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or the Company or AIM shall have

Employment Agreement).

      3. Miscellaneous.

            3.1. Waiver and Amendment. The rights and remedies herein reserved
to any party shall be cumulative and in addition to any other or further rights
and remedies available at law or in equity. The waiver by any party hereto of

in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or other unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision (or the remaining part of the affected provision)
hereof; but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had never been contained herein, but
only to the extent that such provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

            3.6 Costs of Collection. The Company shall reimburse Holder for all
reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys
fees and costs, incurred in connection with (i) drafting, negotiating, executing
and delivering any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect
to, any matter relating to the rights of Holder hereunder and (ii) enforcing any

Exhibit A to Note

                               REGISTRATION RIGHTS

      The following provisions are part of the Convertible Promissory Note (the
"Note") that was initially issued to Peter Rettaliata (the "Holder") on November
30, 2005, and any Note that is issued to any person who or which becomes a
Holder as permitted by the Note. References to the "Note" include each such
subsequently issued Note, collectively, the "Notes." As used below, the "Issuer"
means Gales Industries, Incorporated its successors and assigns including
without limitation the public company with which it enters into a "reverse
merger" transaction; "Registered Holder" means the Holder and "Registered
Holders" refers to the holders of the Notes. All capitalized terms below shall
have the same meanings as in the Note, unless otherwise defined. Paragraph
references below are to the paragraphs of this Exhibit A.

                               Registration Rights

      (a) Registered Holders shall have certain registration rights as follows:

            A. If Issuer shall determine to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement ("Registration
Statement") under the Securities Act, registering any shares of Common Stock of
Issuer, whether or not for its own account or with respect to shares owned by
any person or entity, other than a Registration Statement relating to an
employee benefit plan or a registration effected on Form S-4, Issuer shall (i)
provide to each Registered Holder written notice thereof at least twenty days
prior to the filing of such Registration Statement; and (ii) include in such
Registration Statement, and in any underwriting involved therein, all of the
shares into which the Notes are convertible (the "Registrable Securities"),
subject to the remaining terms of this Section (a).

            B. Within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such notice from
Issuer, each Registered Holder shall give written notice to Issuer if the
Registered Holder desires to have included in the Registration Statement, and in
any underwriting involved therein, all of the Registrable Securities, and if a
Registered Holder fails to give such notice within such period, such Registered
Holder shall not have the right to have such Registered Holder's Registrable
Securities registered, pursuant to such Registration Statement; provided,
however, if such Registration Statement is the initial Registration Statement
filed by Issuer with the SEC registering shares of capital stock of Issuer
(other than a Registration Statement relating to an employee benefit plan or a
registration effected on Form S-4), then Issuer shall include in such
Registration Statement all the Registrable Securities held by each Registered
Holder regardless of whether or not any such Registered Holder has timely given
such written notice. If a Registered Holder gives such notice on a timely basis,
or if otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then Issuer shall
include such Registered Holder's Registrable Securities in the Registration
Statement and in any underwriting relating thereto, at Issuer's sole cost and
expense, subject to the remaining terms of this Section (a).

            C. If the Registration Statement (other than the initial
Registration Statement to be filed by the Company after the date hereof) relates
to an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter determines in writing
that the total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the offering,
including the Registrable Securities, exceeds the amount which the managing
underwriter deems to be appropriate for such offering based on market factors,

                                      -12-

the number of shares of the Registrable Securities of all Registered Holders
shall be reduced in the same proportion as the remainder of the shares in such
offering, other than those to be sold for the account of the Company, and each
Registered Holder's Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement will be reduced proportionately. For this purpose, if other securities
in the Registration Statement are derivative securities, their underlying shares
shall be included in the computation. Each Registered Holder shall enter into
such agreements as may be reasonably required by the managing underwriter,
provided, however, that if requested by such managing underwriter to enter into
any agreement not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable
Securities or other securities of Issuer then held by such Registered Holder,
such Registered Holder shall enter into such an agreement only if (i) such
agreement is for a specified period of time that is customary under the
circumstances (not to exceed 360 days in any event) following the effective date
of the registration statement for such offering, (ii) such agreement contains
other terms customary in such agreements and (iii) all principal stockholders of
Issuer enter into agreements, substantially identical in form and substance with
such agreement of such Registered Holder, covering the same period of time. Each
Registered Holder shall pay to the underwriters commissions relating to the sale
of their respective Registrable Securities.

            D. Other than the right to have all or any portion of its, his or
her Registrable Securities included in the Issuer's initial Registration
Statement after the date hereof, each Registered Holder shall have three
additional opportunities to have all or any portion of its, his or her
Registrable Securities registered under this Section (a) on a "piggy-back
basis"; provided the Issuer shall not be obligated to register any Registrable
Securities once they may be sold by the Holder thereof in accordance with Rule
144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act.

            E. Each Registered Holder shall furnish in writing to Issuer such
information as Issuer shall reasonably require in connection with a Registration
Statement.

      (b) In the event Issuer effects any registration under the Securities Act
of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section (a), the Issuer shall
indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, and hold harmless each Registered
Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement
(each, a "Seller"), any underwriter, any officer, director, employee or agent of
such Seller or underwriter, such Seller's separate legal counsel and independent
accountants, and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, judgment, fines, penalties, costs and
expenses, joint or several, or actions in respect thereof including any of the
foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened,
(collectively, the "Claims"), to which each such indemnified party becomes
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to

                                      -13-

such registration or any other document filed under a state securities or blue
sky law (collectively, the "Registration Documents") or insofar as such Claims
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any
Registration Document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, or insofar as any Claim is based upon or
arises out of any violation by Issuer of any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act applicable to Issuer in connection with such
registration and will reimburse any such indemnified party for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating or
defending any such Claim; provided that the Issuer shall not be liable in any
such case to the extent such Claim is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact made in any Registration Document in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to Issuer by an instrument duly
executed by such Seller, which instrument provides specifically that such
written information is provided for use in the preparation of such Registration
Document.

      (c) In connection with any registration statement in which any Seller is
participating, each Seller, severally and not jointly, to the extent permitted
by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless Issuer, each of its directors, each of
its officers who have signed such registration statement, each other person, if
any, who controls Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
each other Seller and each underwriter, any officer, director, employee or agent
of any such other Seller or underwriter and each other person, if any, who
controls such other Seller or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act against any Claims to which each such indemnified party may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any Registration Document, or insofar as any Claim is based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state in any Registration Document a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
made therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and will reimburse any such indemnified party for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating or
defending any such Claim; provided, however, that such indemnification or
reimbursement shall be payable only if, and only to the extent that, any such
Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Registration Document in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Issuer by
an instrument duly executed by such Seller, which instrument provides
specifically that such written information is provided for use in the
preparation of such Registration Documents.

      (d) Any person entitled to indemnification under Sections (b) or (c) above
shall notify promptly the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of
any Claim if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made
against an indemnifying party under Section (b) or (c), but the omission of such
notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may
have to any indemnified party under Section (b) or (c) above or otherwise,
except to the extent that such failure shall materially adversely affect any
indemnifying party or its rights hereunder. In case any action is brought
against the indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
in, and, to the extent that it chooses, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; and, after notice from
the indemnifying party to the indemnified party that it so chooses, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take
reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the Claim within twenty (20)
days after receiving notice from the indemnified party that the indemnified

                                      -14-

party believes it has failed to do so; (ii) if the indemnified party who is a
defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the
indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that there are legal defenses
available to the indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying
party; or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is
otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the
indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as
set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified
parties in each jurisdiction, except to the extent any indemnified party or
parties reasonably shall have concluded that there are legal defenses available
to such party or parties which are not available to the other indemnified
parties or to the extent representation of all indemnified parties by the same
counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional
conduct) and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses
therefor; provided, that no indemnifying party shall be subject to any liability
for any settlement of a Claim made without its consent (which may not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If the indemnifying party
assumes the defense of any Claim hereunder, such indemnifying party shall not
enter into any settlement without the consent of the indemnified party if such
settlement attributes liability to the indemnified party (which consent may not
be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

      (e) If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction hold that the
indemnity provided in Section (b) or (c) above is unavailable to, or is
insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party
shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any Claim in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying
party and such indemnified party by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party and such parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The obligation of any underwriters to contribute pursuant to
this subsection (e) shall be several in proportion to their respective
underwriting commitments and not joint.

      (f) The provisions of Sections (b) through (e) hereof shall be in addition
to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified
party may have pursuant to applicable law or contract and shall remain operative
and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by
or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by any such party.

      (g) If and whenever Issuer is required by the provisions of Section (a) to
register any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, Issuer shall, as
expeditiously as possible under the circumstances:

            A. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities on any form that may be used by Issuer
and that shall permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof and use
its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as

                                      -15-

soon as possible and remain effective thereafter as provided herein, provided
that prior to filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference after the
initial filing of any registration statement, Issuer will (i) furnish to each
Registered Holder whose Registrable Securities are covered by such registration
statement, his, her or its counsel and the underwriters, if any, copies of all
such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide
them with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon
and (ii) use its best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed
with the SEC, such comments as are reasonably proposed.

            B. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registration statement and
the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
registration statement effective and current and to comply with the provisions
of the Securities Act, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect
to the sale or other disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement required to effect the distribution of the securities,
but in no event shall Issuer be required to keep such registration statement
effective for a period of more than three (3) years following the effective date
of such registration statement.

            C. Furnish to the Sellers participating in the offering, and any
underwriters, copies (in such quantities as are reasonably requested) of
summary, preliminary, final, amended or supplemented prospectuses and any
amendments or supplements thereto that update previous prospectuses or
amendments or supplements thereto, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and other documents
as reasonably may be required in order to facilitate the disposition of the
securities, but only while Issuer is required under the provisions hereof to
keep such registration statement effective and current.

            D. Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as any Seller
participating in the offering or any underwriter shall reasonably request, keep
such registrations or qualifications in effect for so long as such registration
statement is required under the provisions hereof to be kept current and
effective, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable each participating Seller or underwriter to
consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions.

            E. Notify each Seller selling Registrable Securities and any
underwriters and confirm such advice in writing, (i) when such registration
statement or the prospectus included therein or any prospectus amendment or
supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to such
registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective, (ii) of any comments by the SEC, by the National Association of
Securities Dealers Inc., and by the blue sky or securities commissioner or
regulator of any state with respect thereto or any request by any such entity
for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus or
for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or
threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification

                                      -16-

of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, or (v) at any time when a
prospectus relating to any such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of
Issuer's becoming aware that the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, such registration statement, any amendment
(including a post-effective amendment) or supplement thereto, or any document
incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, and promptly prepare and
furnish to each such Seller selling Registrable Securities or any underwriter a
number (as reasonably requested by such Seller or underwriter) of copies of a
prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made.

            F. As soon as practicable after the effective date of such
registration statement, and in any event within eighteen (18) months thereafter,
make generally available to Sellers participating in the offering an earnings
statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months beginning
after the effective date of such registration statement which earnings statement
shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, and Rule
158 thereunder. To the extent that Issuer files such information with the SEC in
satisfaction of the foregoing, Issuer need not deliver the above referenced
earnings statement to Seller.

            G. Upon request, deliver promptly to counsel of each Seller
participating in the offering copies of all correspondence between the SEC and
Issuer, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with
the SEC or its staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each
such Seller to do such investigation at such Seller's sole cost and expense,
upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or
omitted from such registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary. Each
Seller agrees that it will use its best efforts not to interfere unreasonably
with Issuer's business when conducting any such investigation and each Seller
shall keep any such information received pursuant to this Subsection G
confidential.

            H. For a reasonable period after the filing of such registration
statement, and throughout the period during which Issuer is required to keep
such registration statement effective and current, make reasonably available for
inspection by each Seller, any underwriter, and any attorney, accountant or
other agent retained by such Seller or underwriter, all relevant financial and
other information, books and records and properties of Issuer, and cause the
officers, directors, employees, counsel and independent certified public
accountants of Issuer to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by
such Seller, underwriter or any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by
such Seller or underwriter in connection with such registration statement as is

                                      -17-

customary for similar due diligence investigations; provided, however, that any
information that is designated in writing by Issuer, in good faith, as
confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept
confidential by such Seller or any such attorney, accountant or agent, unless
such disclosure is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by
law, or such information becomes available to the public generally or through a
third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality.

            I. Provide a transfer agent and registrar located in the United
States for all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement.

            J. List the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement on such securities exchanges or automated quotation systems on which
the Common Stock may then be listed.

            K. Pay all Registration Expenses (as hereinafter defined) incurred
in connection with a registration of Registrable Securities, whether or not such
registration statement shall become effective; provided that each Seller shall
pay all underwriting discounts, commissions, non-accountable expense allowances
and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Seller's
Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement. As used herein,
"Registration Expenses" means all expenses incident to Issuer's performance of
or compliance with its obligations set forth herein, including, without
limitation, (i) all registration, qualification and filing fees, (ii) all fees,
costs and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws
(including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel in connection
with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities but no other expenses
of the underwriters or their counsel), (iii) all printing, messenger, telephone
and delivery expenses, (iv) the fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel for
Issuer and Issuer's independent public accountants (including the expenses of
any special audit and "cold comfort" letters required by or incident to such
performance), (v) all fees, expenses and disbursements of any other individuals
or entities retained by Issuer in connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, (vi) Securities Act liability insurance if Issuer so
desires, (vii) all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
listing of the Registrable Securities on each national securities exchange or
automated quotation system on which Issuer has made application for the listing
of its Common Stock; and (viii) all internal expenses of Issuer (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties and expenses of any annual audit).

            L. Permit each Seller to rely on any representations and warranties
made by Issuer to any underwriter or any opinion of counsel or "cold comfort"
letter delivered to any such underwriter, and indemnify each such Seller to the
same extent that Issuer indemnifies any such underwriter.

            M. Otherwise use reasonably diligent efforts to comply with all
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
SEC promulgated thereunder in connection with the registration of Registrable
Securities.

                                      -18-

      (b) With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and
regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable
Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public
market exists for the Common Stock, Issuer shall use reasonably diligent efforts
to:

            A. Make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, beginning 90 days
after Issuer registers a class of securities under Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or completes a registered
offering under the Securities Act;

            B. File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of Issuer under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at
any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements);

            C. Furnish to any Registered Holder promptly upon request a written
statement as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at
any time after 90 days after Issuer completes a registered offering under the
Securities Act), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time
after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of Issuer, and such other reports and
documents of Issuer and other information in the possession of or reasonably
obtainable by Issuer as a Registered Holder may reasonably request in availing
itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Registered Holder to sell
Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act.

The parties have executed this Exhibit A to Note as of the date first written
above.

NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE HAVE
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY
    STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN

          REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS

 THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE ARE SUBJECT

                              HERETO AS EXHIBIT A.

                           CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

$332,631.00                                                    November 30, 2005
                                                              New York, New York

      For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Gales Industries, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay to the order of Dario Peragallo or his registered
assigns (the "Holder"), the principal sum of Three Hundred Thirty Two Thousand
Six Hundred Thirty One Dollars ($332,631.00) on the earlier of (i) November 30,
2010 (the "Scheduled Due Date") and (ii) when, upon or after the occurrence of
an Event of Default (as defined below), such amount is declared due and payable
by the Holder or made automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof (the "Maturity Date").

      From the date hereof to (and including) the Scheduled Due Date, interest
shall accrue on the unpaid principal sum of this Note at an adjustable rate
equal to the "Prime Rate" (as hereinafter defined), as adjusted as provided for
herein, plus 0.5% per annum. All accrued interest shall be paid together with
principal on the Maturity Date. Interest shall accrue on any portion of the
principal amount of this Note outstanding from time to time after the Scheduled
Due Date until payment thereof in full, at a floating rate equal to the Prime
Rate plus 7% per annum. For purposes hereof the "Prime Rate" means the rate
publicly announced by Citibank as its "prime rate" (even though Citibank may not
lend money at such rate) or, if Citibank ceases to quote such rate, the Federal
Funds rate. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year,
as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed and the rate of
interest charged hereunder shall change effective on the first day of each
calendar quarter (to wit, October 1, January 1, April 1 and July 1) to the Prime
Rate in effect as of the end of such date or the most recent business day. In no
event shall the Holder hereof, or any successor or permitted assign, be entitled
to receive, collect or retain any amount of interest paid hereon in excess of
that permitted by applicable law. All interest payable hereunder shall be paid,
subject to the provisions of Section 1(e) hereof, in the number of shares of
Common Stock (as defined below) equal to the quotient resulting from the
division of all such interest by the Conversion Price (as defined below).

      All payments made pursuant to this Note shall be applied first to
reimbursable expenses, interest accrued, if any, and then principal.

      This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement,
dated as of July 25, 2005 (as amended, the "Stock Purchase Agreement") entered
into among the Company, Peter Rettaliata, Air Industries Machining, Corp.
("AIM"), Jorge Peragallo, Luis Peragallo, and Dario Peragallo.

      The following is a statement of rights of the Holder and the conditions to
which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by acceptance of this Note,
agrees:

      1. Conversion. (a) From and after January 1, 2006, all, but not less than
all, of the outstanding principal amount of this Note together with interest
accrued thereon through and including the effective date of such conversion, is
convertible, at the option of Company, into shares of common stock of the
Company ("Common Stock") at a price of forty cents ($.40) per share (the
"Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms and provision
hereof (as so adjusted, the "Conversion Price"), provided that on the day that
the Conversion Notice (as hereinafter defined) is given by the Company to the
Holder and on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined), the following
conditions are satisfied: (i) (A) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion have been registered by the Company for resale by the Holder pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the
registration statement effecting such registration (the "Registration
Statement") is then currently effective or (B) there is available an exemption
that would permit such shares of Common Stock to be immediately resold by the
Holder; and (ii) any lock-up agreement entered into by the Holder in favor of or
at the request of the Company has expired or been waived. Any notice of
conversion ("Conversion Notice") must be given by the Company to all Holders of
record of this Note no less than thirty (30) days nor more than forty-five (45)
days prior to the date set forth for conversion (the "Conversion Date"). The
Conversion Notice shall remain effective only if the Registration Statement
remains effective continually throughout the notice period or counsel for the
Company does not revoke its opinion as to the availability of an exemption
permitting immediate resale of the Common Stock. On the Conversion Date, the
outstanding principal amount of this Note, and all interest accrued thereon
through and including the Conversion Date, shall automatically and without
further notice be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion
Price then in effect and not later than three (3) business days after the
presentation of this Note, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate
or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
then-outstanding principal amount of and interest accrued on this Note was
converted on the Conversion Date, together with cash in lieu of fractional
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1(e) hereof, if applicable.

      (b) From and after the earlier of (i) January 1, 2007, and (ii) the first
date on which the Company intends to effect any capital reorganization of the
Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
Company, any merger, consolidation or other combination of the Company with or
into any other Company, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all the
assets of the Company to any other person or any voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, all, but not less than
all, of the outstanding principal amount of this Note together with interest
accrued thereon through and including the effective date of such conversion, is
convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of Common Stock at the
Conversion Price. To effect such conversion, the Holder shall deliver this Note
with a duly executed Conversion Notice in the form annexed hereto to the Company

                                       2

at the address set forth herein. For purposes of a conversion by the Holder, the
date upon which a Conversion Notice is received by the Company is referred to as
the Conversion Date. On the Conversion Date, the outstanding principal amount of
this Note, and all interest accrued thereon through and including the Conversion
Date, shall automatically and without further notice be deemed converted into
shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect and not later than
three (3) business days after the presentation of this Note, the Company will
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of
shares of Common Stock into which the then-outstanding principal amount of and
interest accrued on this Note was converted on the Conversion Date, together
with cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1(e)
hereof, if applicable.

      (c) Upon request of the Company the Holder shall cooperate in the
registration under the Securities Act of the Common Stock issuable hereunder by
complying with its obligations under the Registration Rights Provisions annexed
hereto as Exhibit A (the "Registration Rights Provisions").

      (d) Subject to the provisions of this Section 1(d) and 1(e), the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be the entire
principal amount of this Note together with all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon through and including the Conversion Date, divided by the Conversion
Price then in effect.

            (i) If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the principal
amount of this Note shall be changed into the same or a different number of
shares of any other class or classes of stock or other equity security, whether
by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a
subdivision or combination of shares provided for below or a merger or
consolidation as provided for below) then, concurrently with the effectiveness
of such reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, the
securities issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be adjusted such that
this Note shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common
Stock that the Holders would otherwise be entitled to receive, a number of
shares of such other class or classes of stock or other equity security
equivalent to the number of shares of such class or classes that would have been
issued to the Holders had they converted this Note immediately prior to such
change and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to
and including the date of conversion, retained such securities receivable by
them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called
for during such period under this Section. The Conversion Price upon such
conversion shall be the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect
pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Company will not effect any such reorganization reclassification or other
similar transactions unless prior to the consummation thereof, the entity that
may be required to deliver stock upon the conversion of this Note shall agree by
an instrument in writing to deliver such stock, cash, or other equity security
to the Holder.

            (ii) If the Company at any time or from time to time makes or fixes
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to
receive any distributions payable in securities of the Company other than shares
of Common Stock and as otherwise adjusted in this Section, then and in such
event provision shall be made so that the Holder receives upon conversion
hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable, the

                                       3

amount of securities of the Company that he would have received had this Note
been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had he
thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the
date of conversion, retained such securities receivable as aforesaid during such
period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under
this Section.

            (iii) In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof shall (a) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in
shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or (c) combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then,
and in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to that price
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect by a fraction (x) the
numerator of which shall be the number of issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock immediately before such dividend, distribution, subdivision or
combination and (y) the denominator of which shall be the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after such dividend,
distribution, subdivision or combination. Upon such adjustment of the Conversion
Price, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Note shall be increased (in the case of a reduction in the Conversion Price) or
decreased (in the case of an increase in the Conversion Price) proportionately.

            (iv) If the Company shall merge, consolidate or otherwise combine
with or into another entity, this Note shall automatically become convertible
into the same kind and number of shares of stock and other securities, cash or
property (and upon the same terms and with the same rights) as would have been
received by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this
Note could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation
or combination, without change to the Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Company will not effect any such merger,
consolidation or combination, unless prior to consummation thereof, the entity
that may be required to deliver stock, cash, securities or other assets upon the
conversion of this Note shall agree by an instrument in writing to deliver such
stock, cash, securities or other assets to the Holder.

      (e) Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to
issue fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares
of Common Stock. In lieu thereof, the Company may, if otherwise permitted, make
a cash payment in respect of any fractional share based on the Conversion Price
at such time. No cash payment of less than $1.00 shall be required to be given
unless specifically requested by the Holder. If the Company elects not, or is
unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in
lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

      (f) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion
of this Note shall be made without charge to the holders thereof for any
documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue
or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the

                                       4

issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other
than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

      (g) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of this Note and the Convertible Promissory Note issued
to Peter Rettaliata pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Rettaliata
Note"), such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note and the Rettaliata Note; and if
at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall
not be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note and the Rettaliata Note,
the Company will promptly take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of
its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

      (h) In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price
or the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon
conversion of this Note, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause its Chief
Financial Officer to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with
the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or
readjustment, and shall send such certificate, by prepaid courier, to the
Holder. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing
in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. No
adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required to be made unless it would
result in an increase or decrease of at least one cent, but any adjustments not
made because of this sentence shall be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment otherwise required hereunder.

      (i) Upon (i) the establishment by the Company of a record of the holders
of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof
who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) any
capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization
of the capital stock of the Company, any merger, consolidation or other
combination of the Company with or into any other Company, or any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other
person or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company, the Company shall send to the Holder at least twenty days prior to
the record date specified therein a notice specifying (A) the date on which any
such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and
a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the date, if
any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or
other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or
other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up.

      (j) The Company shall not amend its Certificate of Incorporation or
participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action for the
purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of

                                       5

the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all
times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the
Holders of this Note against dilution or other impairment as provided herein.

      2. Events of Default. If any of the events specified in this Section 2
shall occur (herein individually referred to as an "Event of Default"), the
Holder may, so long as such condition exists, in addition to any other right,
power or remedy granted to the Holder under this Note, the Stock Purchase
Agreement or applicable law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or
both, declare the entire principal amount (and interest accrued thereon)
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand or notice of any kind,
all of which are expressly waived, provided, however, that upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default described in Section 2(c), 2(d) or 2(g) hereof, the
entire principal amount (and accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts
shall automatically become due and payable:

            (a) Payment of principal of this Note or interest accrued thereon
shall be delinquent for a period of 10 days after the due date thereof.

            (b) If the Company shall fail to observe any covenant or other
provision contained in this Note (other than with respect to payment), the Stock
Purchase Agreement or the Employment Agreement between the Company and Dario
Peragallo, and such failure of observance shall be continuing for 10 days after
the Holder has given written notice thereof;

            (c) The institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated
as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings against it or the filing by it of a petition or answer or

any other applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of
any such petition or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee or other similar official of the Company, or of any substantial part of
its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such
action;

            (d) If, within 45 days after the commencement of an action against
the Company (and service of process in connection therewith on the Company)
seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or
similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such
action shall not have been resolved in favor of the Company or all orders or
proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of the Company
stayed, or if the stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be set
aside, or if, within 45 days after the appointment without the consent or
acquiescence of the Company of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the
Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company, such
appointment shall not have been vacated;

            (e) Any default of the Company under any Indebtedness (as defined
below), whether such indebtedness now exists or is hereafter created, that gives
the holder thereof the right to accelerate such Indebtedness, and such
Indebtedness is in fact accelerated by the holder. For purposes hereof, the term
"Indebtedness" shall mean (i) all obligations of the Company for borrowed money,
(ii) all obligations of the Company evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or

                                       6

other similar instruments, including without limitation the Rettaliata Note and

contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and
diligently conducted and any deferred purchase price represented by earn outs),
(v) all obligations for the reimbursement of any obligor on any letter of
credit, banker's acceptance or similar credit transaction (other than those
issued or incurred in respect of trade payables arising in the ordinary course
of business), (vi) all obligations, whether or not assumed, which are secured by
liens on the property belonging to the Company or payable out of the proceeds
flowing therefrom, or (vii) all obligations under any guarantee by the Company
of any Indebtedness or other obligation of any other person or entity;

            (f) One or more judgments for the payment of money in an amount in
excess of $100,000 in the aggregate shall be rendered against the Company or any

            (g) Dario Peragallo shall have terminated his employment for Good
Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or the Company or AIM shall have
terminated the employment of Dario Peragallo without Cause (as defined in the

to any party shall be cumulative and in addition to any other or further rights

affect any other provision (or the remaining part of the affected provision)
hereof; but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had never been contained herein, but

Exhibit A to Note

                               REGISTRATION RIGHTS

      The following provisions are part of the Convertible Promissory Note (the
"Note") that was initially issued to Dario Peragallo (the "Holder") on November
30, 2005, and any Note that is issued to any person who or which becomes a
Holder as permitted by the Note. References to the "Note" include each such
subsequently issued Note, collectively, the "Notes." As used below, the "Issuer"
means Gales Industries, Incorporated its successors and assigns including
without limitation the public company with which it enters into a "reverse
merger" transaction; "Registered Holder" means the Holder and "Registered
Holders" refers to the holders of the Notes. All capitalized terms below shall
have the same meanings as in the Note, unless otherwise defined. Paragraph
references below are to the paragraphs of this Exhibit A.

                               Registration Rights

      (a) Registered Holders shall have certain registration rights as follows:

            A. If Issuer shall determine to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement ("Registration
Statement") under the Securities Act, registering any shares of Common Stock of
Issuer, whether or not for its own account or with respect to shares owned by
any person or entity, other than a Registration Statement relating to an
employee benefit plan or a registration effected on Form S-4, Issuer shall (i)
provide to each Registered Holder written notice thereof at least twenty days
prior to the filing of such Registration Statement; and (ii) include in such
Registration Statement, and in any underwriting involved therein, all of the
shares into which the Notes are convertible (the "Registrable Securities"),
subject to the remaining terms of this Section (a).

            B. Within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such notice from
Issuer, each Registered Holder shall give written notice to Issuer if the
Registered Holder desires to have included in the Registration Statement, and in
any underwriting involved therein, all of the Registrable Securities, and if a
Registered Holder fails to give such notice within such period, such Registered
Holder shall not have the right to have such Registered Holder's Registrable
Securities registered, pursuant to such Registration Statement; provided,
however, if such Registration Statement is the initial Registration Statement
filed by Issuer with the SEC registering shares of capital stock of Issuer
(other than a Registration Statement relating to an employee benefit plan or a
registration effected on Form S-4), then Issuer shall include in such
Registration Statement all the Registrable Securities held by each Registered
Holder regardless of whether or not any such Registered Holder has timely given
such written notice. If a Registered Holder gives such notice on a timely basis,
or if otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then Issuer shall
include such Registered Holder's Registrable Securities in the Registration
Statement and in any underwriting relating thereto, at Issuer's sole cost and
expense, subject to the remaining terms of this Section (a).

            C. If the Registration Statement (other than the initial
Registration Statement to be filed by the Company after the date hereof) relates
to an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter determines in writing
that the total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the offering,

                                      -12-

including the Registrable Securities, exceeds the amount which the managing
underwriter deems to be appropriate for such offering based on market factors,
the number of shares of the Registrable Securities of all Registered Holders
shall be reduced in the same proportion as the remainder of the shares in such
offering, other than those to be sold for the account of the Company, and each
Registered Holder's Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement will be reduced proportionately. For this purpose, if other securities
in the Registration Statement are derivative securities, their underlying shares
shall be included in the computation. Each Registered Holder shall enter into
such agreements as may be reasonably required by the managing underwriter,
provided, however, that if requested by such managing underwriter to enter into
any agreement not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable
Securities or other securities of Issuer then held by such Registered Holder,
such Registered Holder shall enter into such an agreement only if (i) such
agreement is for a specified period of time that is customary under the
circumstances (not to exceed 360 days in any event) following the effective date
of the registration statement for such offering, (ii) such agreement contains
other terms customary in such agreements and (iii) all principal stockholders of
Issuer enter into agreements, substantially identical in form and substance with
such agreement of such Registered Holder, covering the same period of time. Each
Registered Holder shall pay to the underwriters commissions relating to the sale
of their respective Registrable Securities.

            D. Other than the right to have all or any portion of its, his or
her Registrable Securities included in the Issuer's initial Registration
Statement after the date hereof, each Registered Holder shall have three
additional opportunities to have all or any portion of its, his or her
Registrable Securities registered under this Section (a) on a "piggy-back
basis"; provided the Issuer shall not be obligated to register any Registrable
Securities once they may be sold by the Holder thereof in accordance with Rule
144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act.

            E. Each Registered Holder shall furnish in writing to Issuer such
information as Issuer shall reasonably require in connection with a Registration
Statement.

      (b) In the event Issuer effects any registration under the Securities Act
of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section (a), the Issuer shall
indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, and hold harmless each Registered
Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement
(each, a "Seller"), any underwriter, any officer, director, employee or agent of
such Seller or underwriter, such Seller's separate legal counsel and independent
accountants, and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, judgment, fines, penalties, costs and
expenses, joint or several, or actions in respect thereof including any of the
foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened,
(collectively, the "Claims"), to which each such indemnified party becomes
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to
such registration or any other document filed under a state securities or blue

                                      -13-

sky law (collectively, the "Registration Documents") or insofar as such Claims
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any
Registration Document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, or insofar as any Claim is based upon or
arises out of any violation by Issuer of any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act applicable to Issuer in connection with such
registration and will reimburse any such indemnified party for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating or
defending any such Claim; provided that the Issuer shall not be liable in any
such case to the extent such Claim is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact made in any Registration Document in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to Issuer by an instrument duly
executed by such Seller, which instrument provides specifically that such
written information is provided for use in the preparation of such Registration
Document.

      (c) In connection with any registration statement in which any Seller is
participating, each Seller, severally and not jointly, to the extent permitted
by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless Issuer, each of its directors, each of
its officers who have signed such registration statement, each other person, if
any, who controls Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
each other Seller and each underwriter, any officer, director, employee or agent
of any such other Seller or underwriter and each other person, if any, who
controls such other Seller or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act against any Claims to which each such indemnified party may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any Registration Document, or insofar as any Claim is based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state in any Registration Document a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
made therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and will reimburse any such indemnified party for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating or
defending any such Claim; provided, however, that such indemnification or
reimbursement shall be payable only if, and only to the extent that, any such
Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Registration Document in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Issuer by
an instrument duly executed by such Seller, which instrument provides
specifically that such written information is provided for use in the
preparation of such Registration Documents.

      (d) Any person entitled to indemnification under Sections (b) or (c) above
shall notify promptly the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of
any Claim if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made
against an indemnifying party under Section (b) or (c), but the omission of such
notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may
have to any indemnified party under Section (b) or (c) above or otherwise,
except to the extent that such failure shall materially adversely affect any
indemnifying party or its rights hereunder. In case any action is brought
against the indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
in, and, to the extent that it chooses, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; and, after notice from
the indemnifying party to the indemnified party that it so chooses, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take
reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the Claim within twenty (20)
days after receiving notice from the indemnified party that the indemnified
party believes it has failed to do so; (ii) if the indemnified party who is a

                                      -14-

defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the
indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that there are legal defenses
available to the indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying
party; or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is
otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the
indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as
set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified
parties in each jurisdiction, except to the extent any indemnified party or
parties reasonably shall have concluded that there are legal defenses available
to such party or parties which are not available to the other indemnified
parties or to the extent representation of all indemnified parties by the same
counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional
conduct) and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses
therefor; provided, that no indemnifying party shall be subject to any liability
for any settlement of a Claim made without its consent (which may not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If the indemnifying party
assumes the defense of any Claim hereunder, such indemnifying party shall not
enter into any settlement without the consent of the indemnified party if such
settlement attributes liability to the indemnified party (which consent may not
be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

      (e) If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction hold that the
indemnity provided in Section (b) or (c) above is unavailable to, or is
insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party
shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any Claim in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying
party and such indemnified party by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party and such parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The obligation of any underwriters to contribute pursuant to
this subsection (e) shall be several in proportion to their respective
underwriting commitments and not joint.

      (f) The provisions of Sections (b) through (e) hereof shall be in addition
to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified
party may have pursuant to applicable law or contract and shall remain operative
and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by
or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by any such party.

      (g) If and whenever Issuer is required by the provisions of Section (a) to
register any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, Issuer shall, as
expeditiously as possible under the circumstances:

            A. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities on any form that may be used by Issuer
and that shall permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof and use

                                      -15-

its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as
soon as possible and remain effective thereafter as provided herein, provided
that prior to filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference after the
initial filing of any registration statement, Issuer will (i) furnish to each
Registered Holder whose Registrable Securities are covered by such registration
statement, his, her or its counsel and the underwriters, if any, copies of all
such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide
them with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon
and (ii) use its best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed
with the SEC, such comments as are reasonably proposed.

            B. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registration statement and
the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
registration statement effective and current and to comply with the provisions
of the Securities Act, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect
to the sale or other disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement required to effect the distribution of the securities,
but in no event shall Issuer be required to keep such registration statement
effective for a period of more than three (3) years following the effective date
of such registration statement.

            C. Furnish to the Sellers participating in the offering, and any
underwriters, copies (in such quantities as are reasonably requested) of
summary, preliminary, final, amended or supplemented prospectuses and any
amendments or supplements thereto that update previous prospectuses or
amendments or supplements thereto, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and other documents
as reasonably may be required in order to facilitate the disposition of the
securities, but only while Issuer is required under the provisions hereof to
keep such registration statement effective and current.

            D. Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as any Seller
participating in the offering or any underwriter shall reasonably request, keep
such registrations or qualifications in effect for so long as such registration
statement is required under the provisions hereof to be kept current and
effective, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable each participating Seller or underwriter to
consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions.

            E. Notify each Seller selling Registrable Securities and any
underwriters and confirm such advice in writing, (i) when such registration
statement or the prospectus included therein or any prospectus amendment or
supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to such
registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective, (ii) of any comments by the SEC, by the National Association of
Securities Dealers Inc., and by the blue sky or securities commissioner or
regulator of any state with respect thereto or any request by any such entity
for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus or
for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or
threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or

                                      -16-

threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, or (v) at any time when a
prospectus relating to any such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of
Issuer's becoming aware that the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, such registration statement, any amendment
(including a post-effective amendment) or supplement thereto, or any document
incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, and promptly prepare and
furnish to each such Seller selling Registrable Securities or any underwriter a
number (as reasonably requested by such Seller or underwriter) of copies of a
prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made.

            F. As soon as practicable after the effective date of such
registration statement, and in any event within eighteen (18) months thereafter,
make generally available to Sellers participating in the offering an earnings
statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months beginning
after the effective date of such registration statement which earnings statement
shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, and Rule
158 thereunder. To the extent that Issuer files such information with the SEC in
satisfaction of the foregoing, Issuer need not deliver the above referenced
earnings statement to Seller.

            G. Upon request, deliver promptly to counsel of each Seller
participating in the offering copies of all correspondence between the SEC and
Issuer, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with
the SEC or its staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each
such Seller to do such investigation at such Seller's sole cost and expense,
upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or
omitted from such registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary. Each
Seller agrees that it will use its best efforts not to interfere unreasonably
with Issuer's business when conducting any such investigation and each Seller
shall keep any such information received pursuant to this Subsection G
confidential.

            H. For a reasonable period after the filing of such registration
statement, and throughout the period during which Issuer is required to keep
such registration statement effective and current, make reasonably available for
inspection by each Seller, any underwriter, and any attorney, accountant or
other agent retained by such Seller or underwriter, all relevant financial and
other information, books and records and properties of Issuer, and cause the
officers, directors, employees, counsel and independent certified public
accountants of Issuer to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by
such Seller, underwriter or any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by

                                      -17-

such Seller or underwriter in connection with such registration statement as is
customary for similar due diligence investigations; provided, however, that any
information that is designated in writing by Issuer, in good faith, as
confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept
confidential by such Seller or any such attorney, accountant or agent, unless
such disclosure is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by
law, or such information becomes available to the public generally or through a
third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality.

            I. Provide a transfer agent and registrar located in the United
States for all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement.

            J. List the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement on such securities exchanges or automated quotation systems on which
the Common Stock may then be listed.

            K. Pay all Registration Expenses (as hereinafter defined) incurred
in connection with a registration of Registrable Securities, whether or not such
registration statement shall become effective; provided that each Seller shall
pay all underwriting discounts, commissions, non-accountable expense allowances
and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Seller's
Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement. As used herein,
"Registration Expenses" means all expenses incident to Issuer's performance of
or compliance with its obligations set forth herein, including, without
limitation, (i) all registration, qualification and filing fees, (ii) all fees,
costs and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws
(including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel in connection
with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities but no other expenses
of the underwriters or their counsel), (iii) all printing, messenger, telephone
and delivery expenses, (iv) the fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel for
Issuer and Issuer's independent public accountants (including the expenses of
any special audit and "cold comfort" letters required by or incident to such
performance), (v) all fees, expenses and disbursements of any other individuals
or entities retained by Issuer in connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, (vi) Securities Act liability insurance if Issuer so
desires, (vii) all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
listing of the Registrable Securities on each national securities exchange or
automated quotation system on which Issuer has made application for the listing
of its Common Stock; and (viii) all internal expenses of Issuer (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties and expenses of any annual audit).

            L. Permit each Seller to rely on any representations and warranties
made by Issuer to any underwriter or any opinion of counsel or "cold comfort"
letter delivered to any such underwriter, and indemnify each such Seller to the
same extent that Issuer indemnifies any such underwriter.

            M. Otherwise use reasonably diligent efforts to comply with all
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
SEC promulgated thereunder in connection with the registration of Registrable
Securities.

                                      -18-

      (b) With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and
regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable
Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public
market exists for the Common Stock, Issuer shall use reasonably diligent efforts
to:

            A. Make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, beginning 90 days
after Issuer registers a class of securities under Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or completes a registered
offering under the Securities Act;

            B. File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of Issuer under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at
any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements);

            C. Furnish to any Registered Holder promptly upon request a written
statement as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at
any time after 90 days after Issuer completes a registered offering under the
Securities Act), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time
after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of Issuer, and such other reports and
documents of Issuer and other information in the possession of or reasonably
obtainable by Issuer as a Registered Holder may reasonably request in availing
itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Registered Holder to sell
Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act.

The parties have executed this Exhibit A to Note as of the date first written
above.

Neither these securities nor the securities into which these securities are
exercisable have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or
the securities commission of any state in reliance upon an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and, accordingly, may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise disposed
of except pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the
Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under such act and
in compliance with applicable state securities or blue sky laws.

                         ASHLIN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
                              COMMON STOCK WARRANT

      This certifies that ______________ ("Holder") is entitled to purchase,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, from Ashlin Development
Corporation, a Florida corporation (the "Company"), ________ (___,000) fully
paid and non assessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001
per Share ("Common Stock"), in accordance with Section 2 during the period
commencing on __________, 2005 and ending at 5:00 p.m. EST, on ___________, 2010
(the "Expiration Date"), at which time this Warrant will expire and become void
unless earlier terminated as provided herein. The shares of Common Stock of the
Company for which this Warrant is exercisable, as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to the terms hereof, are hereinafter referred to as the "Shares."

      1. Exercise Price. The initial purchase price for the Shares shall be
$0.22 per share. Such price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms
hereof (such price, as adjusted from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as
the "Exercise Price").

      Exercise and Payment. Commencing on the date hereof, this Warrant may be
exercised, in whole or in part, from time to time by the Holder, during the term
hereof, by surrender of this Warrant and the Exercise Agreement annexed hereto
duly completed and executed by the Holder to the Company at the principal
executive offices of the Company, together with payment in the amount obtained
by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by the number of Shares thereby
purchased, as designated in the Exercise Agreement. Payment may be in cash, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the
Company or by cashier's check payable to the order of the Company. In addition
to the foregoing, notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in lieu
of exercising this Warrant in the manner set forth in this Section 2, the Holder
may elect to exercise this Warrant or a portion hereof and to pay for the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by way of cashless exercise by
surrendering this Warrant at the principal executive office of the Company,
together with the Notice of Exercise attached hereto duly executed, in which
event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company computed using the following formula:

                                X = Y (A - B) / A

Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

      Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant
          or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion
          of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation).

      A = the greater of: (i) the Closing Price of one share of Common Stock (on
          the date prior to such exercise) or (ii) the 10-day average of the
          closing price of the shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board
          prior to such surrender.

      B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

      If the above calculation results in a negative number, then no shares of
Common Stock of the Company shall be issued or issuable upon conversion of this
Warrant.

      2. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times
there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant
such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the
Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All
such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens,
security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and
free and clear of all preemptive rights.

      3. Delivery of Stock Certificates. Within a reasonable time after
exercise, and in no event more than 5 business days thereafter, in whole or in
part, of this Warrant, the Company shall issue in the name of and deliver to the
Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock which the Holder shall have requested in
the Exercise Agreement. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of this Warrant
at the time of delivery of such stock certificate or certificates.

      4. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. If upon any
exercise of this Warrant a fraction of a share results, the Company will pay the
Holder the difference between the fair market value of the fractional share and
the portion of the Exercise Price allocable to the fractional share.

      5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The Company shall pay all transfer taxes
or other incidental charges, if any, in connection with the transfer of the
Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise hereof from the Company to the Holder.

      6. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental
thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of this Warrant.

      7. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, Etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such action
may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding weekday which
is not a legal holiday.

      8. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price
and the number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

            (a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company
shall at any time after the date hereof but prior to the expiration of this
Warrant subdivide its outstanding securities as to which purchase rights under
this Warrant exist, by stock split or otherwise, or combine its outstanding
securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, the number of
Shares as to which this Warrant is exercisable as of the date of such
subdivision, stock split or combination shall forthwith be proportionately
increased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately decreased in the case
of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise
Price, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares
purchasable under this Warrant as of such date shall remain the same.

            (b) Merger. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation when the
Company is not the surviving corporation, then lawful provision shall be made so
that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this
Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate

                                       2

Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or
property of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or
consolidation, which would have been received by Holder for the shares of stock
subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised prior to such merger or
consolidation.

            (c) Reclassification, Etc. If at any time after the date hereof
there shall be a change or reclassification of the securities as to which
purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of
securities of any other class or classes, then the Holder shall thereafter be
entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified
herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of
shares or other securities or property resulting from such change or
reclassification, which would have been received by Holder for the shares of
stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant at such time been exercised.

      9. Notice of Adjustments; Notices. Whenever the Exercise Price or number
of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 9 hereof,
the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a certificate setting forth,
in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the
adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Exercise
Price and number of and kind of securities purchasable hereunder after giving
effect to such adjustment, and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.

      10. Rights As Stockholder; Notice to Holders. Nothing contained in this
Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or his or its
transferees the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to
receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for
the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any rights
whatsoever as shareholders of the Company. The Company shall give notice to the
Holder by registered mail if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in
full of the Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:

            (a) dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be
proposed;

            (b) a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock
(other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock and
other than a change in the par value of the Common Stock) or any consolidation
or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and
that does not result in any reclassification or change of Common Stock
outstanding) or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of
the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; or

            (c) a taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class
of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other
distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive
any other rights.

      Such giving of notice shall be simultaneous with the giving of notice to
holders of Common Stock. Such notice shall specify the record date or the date
of closing the stock transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide such
notice shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with such
dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

      11. Restricted Securities; Registration Rights. The Holder understands
that this Warrant and the Shares purchasable hereunder constitute "restricted
securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are, or will be,
acquired from the Company in transactions not involving a public offering and
accordingly may not, under such laws and applicable regulations, be resold or
transferred without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

                                       3

(the "Securities Act") or an applicable exemption from such registration. Unless
the Shares are registered in accordance with the requirements of the Securities
Act, the Holder further acknowledges that a securities legend substantially in
the form appearing on the first page of this Warrant shall be placed on any
Shares issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant.

      The Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to the registration rights
with respect to the Shares as set forth on Exhibit B annexed hereto which in
incorporated herein by reference.

      12. Certification of Investment Purpose. Unless a current registration
statement under the Securities Act shall be in effect with respect to the
securities to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder covenants and
agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, it will deliver to the Company a
written certification executed by the Holder that the securities acquired by him
upon exercise hereof are for the account of such Holder and acquired for
investment purposes only and that such securities are not acquired with a view
to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. This Warrant is
acquired by the Holder for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for
sale in connection with, any distribution thereof.

      13. Miscellaneous.

            (a) Construction. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term
"Holder" shall include any transferee or transferees of this Warrant, and the
term "Warrant" shall include any and all warrants outstanding pursuant to this
Agreement, including those evidenced by a certificate or certificates issued
upon division, exchange or substitution.

            (b) Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or
permitted under this Warrant shall be given in writing and shall be deemed
effectively given upon personal delivery to the party to be notified or three
(3) days following deposit with the United States Post Office, by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the party to be notified (or
one (1) day following timely deposit with a reputable overnight courier with
next day delivery instructions), or upon confirmation of receipt by the sender
of any notice by facsimile transmission, at the address indicated below or at
such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days' advance written

THE WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. THE WARRANT AND THE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE

Warrant No. ________                                         ____________ Shares

                                     FORM OF
                                     WARRANT

                           To Purchase Common Stock of

                         GALES INDUSTSRIES INCORPORATED

      GALES INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation ("Gales"), intends
to seek equity or debt financing of at least $5,500,000 and, contemporaneously
with the closing of such financing, Gales contemplates entering into a "reverse
merger" transaction (the "Reverse Merger") with a publicly-held company (the
"Public Company"). Gales and/or the Public Company are referred to herein as the
"Company". After completion of the Reverse Merger, references herein to "Gales"
or the "Company" shall be deemed to refer collectively to Gales and the Public
Company. "Financing" means equity or debt financing resulting in gross proceeds
to the Company of at least $5,500,000.

      This certifies that, commencing on the earlier of January 1, 2006 and the
date as of which the Reverse Merger is completed, and from time to time after
such earlier date until the Expiration Date, ____________________________ or its
registered assigns (the "Holder") is entitled to purchase from Gales, or the
Public Company with which Gales enters into a Reverse Merger, the number of
shares of Common Stock (as defined below) set forth above, in whole or in part,
including fractional parts, at a purchase price (the "Purchase Price") equal to
the lower of (1) $0.22 per share of Common Stock or (2), if the Company has
completed the Financing, the effective price per share of the Public Company's
Common Stock (or Common Stock equivalents) sold in the Financing. The effective
price per share referred to in the preceding sentence means the gross proceeds
of the Financing divided by the number of shares of Common Stock (or Common
Stock equivalents, but not warrants or securities issued to the placement agent
or other non-investors) issued to the investors in the Financing.
Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if, as of the date this

Warrant is exercised, the Reverse Merger has already been completed, only shares
of the Public Company's Common Stock will be issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, and if, as of the date this Warrant is exercised, the Reverse Merger
has not been completed, only shares of the Company's Common Stock will be
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and, in such later case, the shares of
the Company's Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall not have
any voting rights until the Financing is completed or terminated and the Company
shall have the right to dilute the Holder's percentage ownership of the
outstanding capital stock by issuing to other parties the shares of Common Stock
contemplated by the Company's proposed pro forma fully-diluted capitalization
table, a copy of which has been provided to the Holder, which takes into account
as of the date of the closing of the Reverse Merger, among other issuances, the
founder's shares, shares to officers, directors and employees, stock option
shares, shares to the Public Company's pre-existing shareholders, and shares to
the former shareholders of Air Industries Machining, Corp., a New York
corporation, which the Company contemplates acquiring simultaneously with the
closing of the Financing and the Reverse Merger. The number of Warrant Shares
(as defined below) and the Purchase Price therefor are subject to adjustment as
hereinafter set forth in Section 6. This is one of a series of warrants in
substantially the same form that were originally issued on the Issue Date.

      The number of shares into which this Warrant is convertible, set forth
above, assumes that the per share price in the Financing is $0.22 and is derived
by dividing the principal amount of the 12% Convertible Bridge Note ("Note"),
purchased by the Holder from the Company, by $0.22. In the event the Financing
is completed at an effective price per share of the Public Company's Common
Stock (or Common Stock equivalents) of under $0.22, the number of shares into
which this Warrant is convertible will automatically adjust to the quotient of
the principal amount of the Note divided by such lower price per share at which
the Financing is completed.

      SECTION 1. Certain Definitions. For all purposes of this Warrant, the
following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

            "Additional Shares of Common Stock" means all shares of Common Stock
issued after the date hereof, other than Warrant Shares, whether now authorized
or not, other than Excluded Shares.

classes resulting from any successive changes or reclassifications thereof;
provided, however, that, in the event that the Company has completed the Reverse
Merger, "Common Stock" means the common stock of the Public Company.

            "Company" means Gales Industries Incorporated; provided, however,
that after completion of the Reverse Merger, references herein to the "Company"
will also be deemed to include the Public Company.

                                       2

            "Convertible Securities" means evidences of indebtedness, shares of
stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable, with or

of a share of Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ for the period of 10
consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of determination; provided, however,
if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on NASDAQ, as reported
on the principal national security exchange or quotation system on which the
Common Stock is quoted or listed or admitted to trading; or, if not quoted or
listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quotation
system, the closing bid price of such security on the over-the-counter market on
the day in question as reported by Bloomberg LP, or a similar generally accepted
reporting service, as the case may be, or if not listed or admitted for trading
on any national securities exchange or quoted in the over-the-counter market,
the Current Market Price shall be the Fair Value on such date.

            "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or any similar Federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.

applicable to such securities as in effect on the Issue Date;

            (b) (i) shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options
and warrants granted or issued by the Company to its employees, officers,
directors, consultants and advisors, up to a maximum number of such shares
issuable at any point in time while this Warrant is exercisable that does not
exceed 20% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided,
in each such case, that the exercise price for any such share shall not be less
than 85% of the Fair Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant or issuance
of the option or warrant (the "Minimum Price"), and (ii) such additional number
of shares of Common Stock as may become issuable pursuant to the terms of any
such options or warrants by reason of adjustments required pursuant to
anti-dilution provisions applicable to such securities in order to reflect any
subdivision or combination of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, or
any dividend on Common Stock payable in Common Stock and anti-dilution
adjustments that do not adjust the exercise price below the Minimum Price;

            (c) shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued
to equipment lessors, banks or other institutional credit financing sources of
the Company in connection with the provision of financing or the rendering of
other services to the Company up to a maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable at any point in time while this Warrant is exercisable that does not
exceed 20% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided,
in each such case, that the exercise or purchase price for any such share shall
not be less than the Minimum Price, and (ii) such additional number of shares of

                                       3

Common Stock as may become issuable pursuant to the terms of any such warrants
by reason of adjustments required pursuant to anti-dilution provisions
applicable to such securities in order to reflect any subdivision or combination
of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, or any dividend on Common
Stock payable in Common Stock and anti-dilution adjustments that do not adjust
the exercise price below the Minimum Price.

            "Expiration Date" means 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth
anniversary of the Issue Date.

            "Fair Value" means, on any date specified herein (i) in the case of
cash, the dollar amount thereof, (ii) in the case of a security admitted for
trading on any national securities exchange or quoted in the over-the-counter
market, the Current Market Price, and (iii) in all other cases as determined in
good faith jointly by the Company and the Holder; provided, however, that if
such parties are unable to reach agreement within 30 days, the Fair Value shall
be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking firm selected
jointly by the Company and the Holder or, if that selection cannot be made
within ten days, by an independent investment banking firm selected by the
American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules.

            "Purchase Price" means the purchase price set forth in the initial

for all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder, prior to the Expiration Date. To exercise this Warrant, in whole or
in part, the Holder shall complete the notice of exercise attached hereto (the
"Notice of Exercise"), and deliver this Warrant and, except as otherwise
provided in this Section 2, cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase
Price of the shares of Common Stock being purchased, together with the Notice of
Exercise, to the Company at its office referred to in Section 9. Upon receipt
thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within
ten (10) business days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed and deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock specified in
the Notice of Exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share,
as hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered
shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the
Holder shall request in the Notice of Exercise and shall be registered in the

Exercise, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. This Warrant

entity so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder
of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Notice of
Exercise, together with the cash, if any, and this Warrant, are received by the
Company as described above. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part,

representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called
for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical
with this Warrant. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and without any preemptive rights. The Company shall pay all
expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation,
execution and delivery of stock certificates pursuant to this Section, unless
such tax or charge is imposed by law upon the Holder, in which case such taxes
or charges shall be paid by the Holder. The Company shall not be required,
however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer
involved in the issue of any certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant in any name other than that of the Holder, and in
such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock
certificate until such tax or other charge has been paid or it has been
established to the satisfaction of the Company that no such tax or other charge
is due.

                                       5

            (b) In lieu of payment of the Purchase Price in cash, the Holder may
make such payment, by way of cashless exercise, as follows:

            (c) by delivery of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Current
Market Price on the date of exercise equal to the Purchase Price, subject,
however, to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; or

            (d) through the written election of the Holder to have withheld by
the Company from the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise,
Common Stock having an aggregate Current Market Price on the date of exercise
equal to the Purchase Price.

      SECTION 3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a
fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which the Holder of this Warrant would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of
such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair Value per
share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.

      SECTION 4. Ownership of this Warrant.

            (a) The Company shall deem and treat the Holder as the holder and
owner of this Warrant (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing
hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be
required to give effect to any notice to the contrary, until presentation of
this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Section 4.

            (b) Subject to Section 5, this Warrant is exchangeable, upon the
surrender hereof by the Holder to the Company at its office referred to in
Section 9, for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate
the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such
number of shares of Common Stock as shall be designated by the Holder at the
time of such surrender. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws,
this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part upon
the books of the Company by the Holder hereof in person or by a duly authorized
attorney, and a new Warrant shall be executed and delivered by the Company of
the like tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of the
transferee, upon surrender of this Warrant duly endorsed, at said office or
agency of the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of an agreement of
unsecured indemnity and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and
date, in lieu of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be promptly cancelled by the
Company upon the surrender hereof in connection with any exchange, transfer or
replacement. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense
(other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 4.

                                       6

      SECTION 5. Restrictions. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares may not be
sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of without registration under the
Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.

      SECTION 6. Anti-Dilution Provisions; Adjustments.

            6.1 Adjustment of Number of Shares -- Issuance of Additional Shares
of Common Stock. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the
calculations made in Section 6.2, this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the
right to receive, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of shares of
Common Stock (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a share) obtained by
dividing (i) the product of the aggregate number of shares covered by this
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase Price by (ii) the Purchase
Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price.

            6.2 Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue or
sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common
Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 6.4 or Section 6.5 but excluding
Additional Shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of Rights referred
to in Section 6.9), without consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the Current Market Price, immediately prior to such issue or sale, then,
and in each such case, subject to Section 6.7, the Purchase Price shall be
reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price (calculated to the
nearest .001 of a cent), determined by multiplying such Purchase Price by a
fraction

            (a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale and
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the gross consideration received
by the Company for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so
issued or sold would purchase at the Current Market Price, and

            (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, provided that, for the
purposes of this Section 6.2, (x) immediately after any Additional Shares of
Common Stock are deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 6.4 or Section
6.5, such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding,
and (y) treasury shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding.

            6.3 Dividends and Distributions. In case the Company at any time or
from time to time after the date hereof shall declare, order, pay or make a
dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of (i) cash, (ii) any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities
or property of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, any
distribution of other or additional stock or Convertible Securities, Options or
other securities or property, by way of dividend or spin-off, reclassification,
recapitalization or similar corporate rearrangement) or (iii) any warrants or
other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any
shares of its stock or any other securities or property of any nature
whatsoever, then

                                       7

            (a) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (1) the numerator of which
shall be the Current Market Price at the date of taking such record and (2) the
denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price minus the amount
allocable to one share of Common Stock of (x) any such cash so distributable and
(y) the Fair Value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of
stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights so distributable, and

            (b) the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to equal (1) the Purchase
Price immediately prior to the adjustment multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
adjustment divided by (2) the number of shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

            A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into
shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a
distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of
such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 6.3 and, if the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller
number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change
shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 6.5.

            6.4 Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue,
sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date for the determination of
holders of any class of securities of the Company entitled to receive, any
Options or Convertible Securities (whether or not the rights thereunder are
immediately exercisable), then, and in each such case, the maximum number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating
thereto, without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent
adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the
case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of
the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption or, in case such a record date
shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date (or, if
the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the
commencement of ex-dividend trading), provided that such Additional Shares of
Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless (i) the
consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 6.6) of such shares
would be less than their Fair Value on the date of and immediately prior to such
issue, sale, grant or assumption or immediately prior to the close of business
on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on
the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), as the case may be,
and (ii) such Additional Shares of Common Stock are not purchasable pursuant to
Rights referred to in Section 6.9, and provided, further, that

            (a) whether or not the Additional Shares of Common Stock underlying
such Options or Convertible Securities are deemed to be issued, no further
adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue or sale
of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such
Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

                                       8

            (b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in
the consideration payable to the Company, or for any decrease or increase in the
number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the Purchase
Price computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or
upon the occurrence of the record date, or date prior to the commencement of
ex-dividend trading, as the case may be, with respect thereto), and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease
becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar
as it affects such Options, or the rights of conversion or exchange under such
Convertible Securities, which are outstanding at such time;

            (c) upon the expiration (or purchase by the Company and cancellation
or retirement) of any such Options which shall not have been exercised or the
expiration of any rights of conversion or exchange under any such Convertible
Securities which (or purchase by the Company and cancellation or retirement of
any such Convertible Securities the rights of conversion or exchange under
which) shall not have been exercised, the Purchase Price computed upon the
original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the
record date, or date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading, as the
case may be, with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based
thereon, shall, upon such expiration (or such cancellation or retirement, as the
case may be), be recomputed as if:

                  (i) in the case of Options for Common Stock or Convertible
            Securities, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or
            sold were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually
            issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion
            or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration
            received therefor was the consideration actually received by the
            Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such
            Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually
            received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the issue or sale
            of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or
            exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually
            received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and

                  (ii) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only
             the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued or sold upon
             the exercise of such Options were issued at the time of the issue
             or sale, grant or assumption of such Options, and the consideration
             received by the Company for the Additional Shares of Common Stock
             deemed to have then been issued was the consideration actually
             received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of
             all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration
             deemed to have been received by the Company (pursuant to Section
             6.6) upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities with
             respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

                                       9

            (d) no readjustment pursuant to subdivision (b) or (c) above shall
have the effect of increasing the Purchase Price by an amount in excess of the
amount of the adjustment thereof originally made in respect of the issue, sale,
grant or assumption of such Options or Convertible Securities; and

            (e) in the case of any such Options which expire by their terms not
more than 30 days after the date of issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof, no
adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise
of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the manner
provided in subdivision (c) above.

            6.5 Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. If at any time
the Company shall:

            (a) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of,
Additional Shares of Common Stock,

            (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares of Common Stock, or

            (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, by a reverse stock split or otherwise,

            then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be
adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of
the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted to equal (A) the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

            6.6 Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of this Section
6,

            (a) the consideration for the issue or sale of any Additional Shares
of Common Stock shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such
consideration,

                  (i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the
             amount of cash received by the Company, without deducting any
             expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any commissions or
             compensations paid or concessions or discounts allowed to
             underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in
             connection with such issue or sale,

                  (ii) insofar as it consists of property (including securities)
             other than cash, be computed at the Fair Value thereof at the time
             of such issue or sale, and

                                       10

                  (iii) in the case where Additional Shares of Common Stock are
             issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other
             assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, be the
             portion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in
             clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocable to such Additional Shares of
             Common Stock, such allocation to be determined in the same manner
             that the Fair Value of property not consisting of cash or
             securities is to be determined as provided in the definition of
             "Fair Value" herein;

            (b) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
pursuant to Section 6.4, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall
be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per share determined by
dividing

                  (i) the total amount, if any, received and receivable by the
             Company as consideration for the issue, sale, grant or assumption
             of the Options or Convertible Securities in question, plus the
             minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth
             in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any
             provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
             consideration to protect against dilution) payable to the Company
             upon the exercise in full of such Options or the conversion or
             exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options
             for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for
             Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such
             Convertible Securities, in each case computing such consideration
             as provided in the foregoing subdivision (a),

             by

                  (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set
             forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any
             provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
             number to protect against dilution) issuable upon the exercise of
             such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
             Securities; and

            (c) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
pursuant to Section 6.5, relating to stock dividends, stock splits, etc., shall
be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.

            6.7 De Minimis Adjustments. If the amount of any adjustment of the
Purchase Price per share required pursuant to this Section 6 would be less than
$.01, such amount shall be carried forward and the adjustment with respect
thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which,
together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward,
shall aggregate a change in the Purchase Price of at least $.01 per share. All
calculations under this Warrant shall be made to the nearest .001 of a cent or
to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

            6.8 Abandoned Dividend or Distribution. If the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or other distribution (which results in an adjustment to the
Purchase Price under the terms of this Warrant) and shall, thereafter, and
before such dividend or distribution is paid or delivered to shareholders

                                       11

entitled thereto, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or
distribution, then any adjustment made to the Purchase Price and number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon Warrant exercise by reason of the taking
of such record shall be reversed, and any subsequent adjustments, based thereon,
shall be recomputed.

            6.9 Shareholder Rights Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that the Company shall distribute "poison pill" rights pursuant to a
"poison pill" shareholder rights plan (the "Rights"), the Company shall, in lieu
of making any adjustment pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 hereof, make
proper provision so that each Holder who exercises a Warrant after the record
date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the
Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise, in addition to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, a number of Rights to be
determined as follows: (i) if such exercise occurs on or prior to the date for
the distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing
such Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a
holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise at the time of such exercise would be
entitled in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the
Rights; and (ii) if such exercise occurs after the Distribution Date, the same
number of Rights to which a holder of the number of shares into which the
Warrant so exercised was exercisable immediately prior to the Distribution Date
would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms
and provisions of and applicable to the Rights, and in each case subject to the
terms and conditions of the Rights.

      SECTION 7. Consolidation, Merger, Etc.

            7.1 Adjustments for Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets,
Reorganization, etc. In case the Company after the date hereof shall (a)
consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing
or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any
other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company shall
be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation
or merger, the Common Stock or Other Securities shall be changed into or
exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets
to any other Person in one or more related transactions, or (d) effect a capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or Other Securities
(other than a capital reorganization or reclassification resulting in the issue
of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which adjustment in the Purchase Price
is provided in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3), then, and in the case of each such
transaction, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the
terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant,
upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such transaction,
shall be entitled to receive (at the aggregate Purchase Price in effect at the
time of such consummation for all Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon
such exercise immediately prior to such consummation), in lieu of the Common
Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the amount of securities, cash or other property to which such
Holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder upon such consummation
if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to
adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible
to the adjustments provided for in Section 6.

                                       12

            7.2 Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Warrant, the Company shall not effect any of the transactions described in
clauses (a) through (d) of Section 7.1 unless, prior to the consummation
thereof, each Person (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver
any stock, securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as
provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (a) the obligations of the Company
under this Warrant (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such
transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the
Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company under this Warrant,
including Exhibit A hereto), (b) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such
shares of stock, securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 7, the Holder may be entitled to receive.

      SECTION 8. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that
it shall reserve and set apart and have at all times, free from preemptive
rights, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock deliverable
upon the exercise in full of this Warrant, and it shall have at all times any
other rights or privileges provided for therein sufficient to enable it at any
time to fulfill all of its obligations hereunder. If at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit
the exercise in full of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate
action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall
be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, taking
appropriate board action, recommending such an increase to the holders of Common
Stock, holding shareholders meetings, soliciting votes and proxies in favor of
such increase to obtain the requisite shareholder approval and upon such
approval, the Company shall reserve and keep available such additional shares
solely for the purpose of permitting the exercise of this Warrant. The Company
covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable
will, upon issuance, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free and clear of any liens, claims and restrictions (other than
as provided herein).

      SECTION 9. Notification by the Company.

            9.1 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common
Stock or the class or type of stock or other property for which this Warrant is
exercisable, or whenever the price at which a share of such Common Stock may be
purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section
6, the Company shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief
financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated
(including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the
Company determined the Fair Value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of
stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights referred to in Section 6.2), specifying the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and describing the number and
kind of any other shares of stock or other property for which this Warrant is
exercisable, if any, and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof,
after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly
cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder in
accordance with Section 10. The Company shall keep at its office or agency
designated pursuant to Section 10 copies of all such certificates and cause the
same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours
by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the
Holder.

                                       13

            9.2 Notice of Certain Corporate Action. The Holder shall be entitled
to the same rights to receive notice of corporate action as any holder of Common
Stock.

      SECTION 10. Notices. Any notice or other document required or permitted to
be given or delivered to the Holder shall be hand delivered or delivered by
nationally recognized overnight courier at, or sent by certified or registered
mail postage prepaid and return receipt requested to the Holder at the last
address shown on the books of the Company. Any notice or other document required
or permitted to be given or delivered to the Company shall be delivered at, or
sent by certified or registered mail to, the principal office of the Company, at
333 East 66th Street, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10021, Attn: Executive Chairman,
or such other address as shall have been furnished to the Holder by the Company.
All such communications shall be deemed to have been given or made when so
delivered by hand, or one business day after being sent by overnight delivery or
five business days after being so mailed.

      SECTION 11. No Rights as Shareholders; Limitation of Liability. This
Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a shareholder of
the Company except as expressly set forth herein. No provision hereof, in the
absence of affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase
shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability upon the Holder for
the Purchase Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

      SECTION 12. Law Governing. This Warrant shall be governed by, and

                                                            Exhibit A to Warrant

                               REGISTRATION RIGHTS

            The following provisions are a part of the Warrant (the "Warrant")
to purchase shares of Common Stock that was initially issued to
_____________________ in __________ 2005, and any warrant, in substantially the
same form as the Warrant, that is issued to any Person who or which becomes a
Holder as permitted by the Warrant. References to the "Warrant" include each
such subsequently issued Warrant. As used below, the "Issuer" means Gales
Industries Incorporated or the public company with which it enters into a
"reverse merger" transaction, "Registered Holder" means the Holder and
"Registered Holders" refers to the holders of the Warrants and the Notes (as
defined below). This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants (together, the
"Warrants") issued in connection with the Company's sale of its 12.0%
Convertible Bridge Notes (the "Notes"), limited in aggregate principal amount to
$150,000. All capitalized terms below shall have the same meanings as in the
Warrant, unless otherwise defined. Paragraph references below are to the
paragraphs of this Exhibit A.

                              Registration Rights.

                  (a) Registered Holders shall have certain registration rights
as follows:

                        A. If, after the date of the this Warrant, Issuer shall
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a registration
statement ("Registration Statement") under the Securities Act, registering any
shares of Common Stock owned by any person or entity, Issuer shall include in
such Registration Statement all of the shares into which the Notes and the
Warrants are convertible, subject to the remaining terms of this Section 8(a).
After such initial Registration Statement, if the Issuer shall file a second
Registration Statement with the SEC, the Issuer the shall give written notice to
each Registered Holder thereof prior to such filing.

                        B. Within fifteen (15) days after such notice from
Issuer, each Registered Holder shall give written notice to Issuer whether or
not the Registered Holder desires to have included in the Registration Statement
all of the shares into which the Notes and the Warrants are convertible (the
"Registrable Securities"). If a Registered Holder fails to give such notice
within such period, such Registered Holder shall not have the right to have such
Registered Holder's Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such
registration statement. If a Registered Holder gives such notice, then Issuer
shall include such Registered Holder's Registrable Securities in the
registration statement, at Issuer's sole cost and expense, subject to the
remaining terms of this Section 8(a).

                        C. If the registration statement relates to an
underwritten offering, and the underwriter shall determine in writing that the
total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the offering, including
the Registrable Securities, shall exceed the amount which the underwriter deems
to be appropriate for the offering, the number of shares of the Registrable
Securities shall be reduced in the same proportion as the remainder of the
shares in the offering and each Registered Holder's Registrable Securities
included in such registration statement will be reduced proportionately. For

this purpose, if other securities in the registration statement are derivative
securities, their underlying shares shall be included in the computation. The
Registered Holders shall enter into such agreements as may be reasonably
required by the underwriters and the Registered Holders shall pay to the
underwriters commissions relating to the sale of their respective Registrable
Securities.

                        D. Other than their right to have their Registrable
Securities included in the Issuer's initial Registration Statement after the
date hereof, the Registered Holders shall have one other opportunity to have the
Registrable Securities registered under this Section 8(a).

                        E. The Registered Holder shall furnish in writing to
Issuer such information as Issuer shall reasonably require in connection with a
registration statement.

                  (b) In the event Issuer effects any registration under the
1933 Act of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 8(a), the Issuer
shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, and hold harmless any
Registered Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
Statement (each, a "Seller"), any underwriter, any officer, director, employee
or agent of any Seller or underwriter, and each other person, if any, who
controls any Seller or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933
Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, judgment, fines,
penalties, costs and expenses, joint or several, or actions in respect thereof
(collectively, the "Claims"), to which each such indemnified party becomes
subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto or any document filed under a state securities or blue sky
law (collectively, the "Registration Documents") or insofar as such Claims arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any
Registration Document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements made therein not misleading, and will reimburse any such
indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in investigating or defending any such Claim; provided that
the Issuer shall not be liable in any such case to the extent such Claim is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in any Registration
Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to Issuer by or on behalf of any indemnified party specifically for use in the
preparation of such Registration Document.

                  (c) In connection with any registration statement in which any
Seller is participating, each Seller, severally and not jointly, shall
indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, and hold harmless Issuer, each of its
directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each
other person, if any, who controls Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act, each other Seller and each underwriter, any officer, director,
employee or agent of any such other Seller or underwriter and each other person,
if any, who controls such other Seller or underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any Claims to which each such indemnified
party may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims
(or actions in respect thereof) are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Document, or

insofar as any Claims are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
in any Registration Document a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, and will reimburse
any such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such indemnified party in investigating or defending any such claim;
provided, however, that such indemnification or reimbursement shall be payable
only if, and to the extent that, any such Claim arises out of or is based upon
an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in any Registration Document in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to Issuer by the Seller specifically for use in
the preparation thereof.

                  (d) Any person entitled to indemnification under Sections 8(b)
or 8(c) above shall notify promptly the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement of any Claim if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is
to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8(d), but the
omission of such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under
Section 8(b) or 8(c) above, except to the extent that such failure shall
materially adversely affect any indemnifying party or its rights hereunder. In
case any action is brought against the indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it chooses, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party;
and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party that it
so chooses, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to
defend diligently the Claim within twenty (20) days after receiving notice from
the indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do
so; (ii) if the indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding
which is also brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have
concluded that there are legal defenses available to the indemnified party which
are not available to the indemnifying party; or (iii) if representation of both
parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable
standards of professional conduct, the indemnified party shall have the right to
assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one
firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction, except to the
extent any indemnified party or parties reasonably shall have concluded that
there are legal defenses available to such party or parties which are not
available to the other indemnified parties or to the extent representation of
all indemnified parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under
applicable standards of professional conduct) and the indemnifying party shall
be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor; provided, that no indemnifying
party shall be subject to any liability for any settlement of a Claim made
without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any Claim
hereunder, such indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement without
the consent of the indemnified party if such settlement attributes liability to
the indemnified party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned).

                  (e) If for any reason the indemnity provided in Section 8(b)
or 8(c) above is unavailable, or is insufficient to hold harmless, an
indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount

paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of any Claim in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from
the transactions contemplated by this Security. If, however, the allocation
provided in the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable
law, or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required by Section
8(d) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable in respect of any Claim shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
underwriter or controlling person thereof, if any, shall be required to
contribute, in respect of such underwriter's participation as an underwriter in
the offering, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at
which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the
public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligation of any underwriters to
contribute pursuant to this subsection (e) shall be several in proportion to
their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

                  (f) The provisions of Sections 8(b) through 8(e) hereof shall
be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any
indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or
omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer
of the Registrable Securities by any such party.

                  (g) If and whenever Issuer is required by the provisions of
this Section 8 to register any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, Issuer
shall, as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances:

                        A. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration
statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible and
remain effective.

                        B. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement current and to
comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act, and any regulations promulgated
thereunder, with respect to the sale or disposition of all Registrable

Securities covered by the registration statement required to effect the
distribution of the securities, but in no event shall Issuer be required to do
so for a period of more than three (3) years following the effective date of the
registration statement.

                        C. Furnish to the Sellers participating in the offering,
copies (in reasonable quantities) of summary, preliminary, final, amended or
supplemented prospectuses, in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act
and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and other documents as reasonably
may be required in order to facilitate the disposition of the securities, but
only while Issuer is required under the provisions hereof to keep the
registration statement current.

                        D. Use its best efforts to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as the
Sellers participating in the offering shall reasonably request, and do any and
all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary to enable each
participating Seller to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
in such jurisdictions.

                        E. Notify each Seller selling Registrable Securities, at
any time when a prospectus relating to any such Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act,
of Issuer's becoming aware that the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to each such Seller selling
Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus
supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of
such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances then existing.

                        F. As soon as practicable after the effective date of
the registration statement, and in any event within eighteen (18) months
thereafter, make generally available to Sellers participating in the offering an
earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a period of at least
twelve (12) consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the
registration statement which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including, at Issuer's option, Rule 158
thereunder. To the extent that Issuer files such information with the SEC in
satisfaction of the foregoing, Issuer need not deliver the above referenced
earnings statement to Seller.

                        G. Upon request, deliver promptly to counsel of each
Seller participating in the offering copies of all correspondence between the
SEC and Issuer, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to
discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to the registration statement
and permit each such Seller to do such investigation at such Seller's sole cost
and expense, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information
contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably
necessary. Each Seller agrees that it will use its best efforts not to interfere
unreasonably with Issuer's business when conducting any such investigation and
each Seller shall keep any such information received pursuant to this Subsection
G confidential.

                        H. Provide a transfer agent and registrar located in the
United States for all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement.

                        I. List the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement on such exchanges or the NASDAQ as the Common Stock may
then be listed.

                        J. Pay all Registration Expenses (as hereinafter
defined) incurred in connection with a registration of Registrable Securities,
whether or not such registration statement shall become effective; provided that
each Seller shall pay all underwriting discounts, commissions and transfer
taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Seller's Registrable
Securities pursuant to a registration statement. As used herein, "Registration
Expenses" means any and all reasonable and customary expenses incident to
performance of or compliance with the registration rights set forth herein,
including, without limitation, (i) all SEC, stock exchange and National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. registration and filing fees, (ii) all
fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection
with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities but no other expenses
of the underwriters or their counsel), (iii) all printing, messenger and
delivery expenses, and (iv) the fees and expenses of counsel for Issuer and
Issuer's independent public accountants.

                  (h) Following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
the Issuer may, at any time, suspend the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement for up to thirty (30) days on each of two occasions during any twelve
(12) month period, as appropriate (the "Maximum Suspension Period"), by giving
notice ("Suspension Notice") to the Register Holders to the effect that the
Issuer has determined that it may be required to disclose a material corporate
development in the prospectus which forms a part of the Registration Statement.
In the event that the Issuer issues a Suspension Notice, the Issuer shall, prior
to the expiration of the Maximum Suspension Period, file such amendments to the
Registration Statement as may be necessary to allow for the Registrable
Securities to be sold in compliance with applicable law, advise the holders of
the Registrable Securities in writing that the use of the applicable prospectus
may be resumed, deliver to such holders copies of any additional or supplemental
or amended prospectus, if applicable, and deliver to such holders copies of any
additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in such prospectus.
                                                                     EXHIBIT 4.6

THE WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. THE WARRANT AND THE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION
THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT OR LAWS. THE COMPANY MAY REQUEST, AS A CONDITION TO ANY
TRANSFER, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH
TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF
SAID ACT.

THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS PROVISIONS ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT A.

Warrant No.__                                                  _________  Shares

                                     FORM OF
                                     WARRANT

                           To Purchase Common Stock of

                          GALES INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

      GALES INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation ("Gales"), intends
to seek equity or debt financing of at least $5,500,000 and, contemporaneously
with the closing of such financing, Gales contemplates entering into a "reverse
merger" transaction (the "Reverse Merger") with a publicly-held company (the
"Public Company"). Gales and/or the Public Company are referred to herein as the
"Company". After completion of the Reverse Merger, references herein to "Gales"
or the "Company" shall be deemed to refer collectively to Gales and the Public
Company. "Financing" means equity or debt financing resulting in gross proceeds
to the Company of at least $5,500,000.

      This certifies that, commencing on the earlier of (i) January 1, 2006 or
(ii) the date as of which the Reverse Merger is completed, and from time to time
after such earlier date until the Expiration Date, XXXXXXXXXXXX or its
registered assigns (the "Holder") is entitled to purchase from Gales, or the
Public Company with which Gales enters into a Reverse Merger, the number of
shares of Common Stock (as defined below) set forth above, in whole or in part,
including fractional parts, at a purchase price (the "Purchase Price") equal to
the lower of (1) $0.22 per share of Common Stock or (2), if the Company has
completed the Financing, the effective price per share of the Public Company's
Common Stock (or Common Stock equivalents) sold in the Financing. The effective
price per share referred to in the preceding sentence means the gross proceeds
of the Financing divided by the number of shares of Common Stock (or Common
Stock equivalents, but not warrants or securities issued to the placement agent
or other non-investors) issued to the investors in the Financing.
Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if, as of the date this

Warrant is exercised, the Reverse Merger has already been completed, only shares
of the Public Company's Common Stock will be issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, and if, as of the date this Warrant is exercised, the Reverse Merger
has not been completed, only shares of the Company's Common Stock will be
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and, in such later case, the shares of
the Company's Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall not have
any voting rights until the Financing is completed or terminated and the Company
shall have the right to dilute the Holder's percentage ownership of the
outstanding capital stock by issuing to other parties the shares of Common Stock
contemplated by the Company's proposed pro forma fully-diluted capitalization
table, a copy of which has been provided to the Holder, which takes into account
as of the date of the closing of the Reverse Merger, among other issuances, the
founder's shares, shares to officers, directors and employees, stock option
shares, shares to the Public Company's pre-existing shareholders, and shares to
the former shareholders of Air Industries Machining, Corp., a New York
corporation, which the Company contemplates acquiring simultaneously with the
closing of the Financing and the Reverse Merger. The number of Warrant Shares
(as defined below) and the Purchase Price therefor are subject to adjustment as
hereinafter set forth in Section 6. This is one of a series of warrants in
substantially the same form that were originally issued on the Issue Date.

      The number of shares into which this Warrant is convertible, set forth
above, assumes that the per share price in the Financing is $0.22 and is derived
by dividing the principal amount of the 12% Bridge Note ("Note"), purchased by
the Holder from the Company, by $0.22. In the event the Financing is completed
at an effective price per share of the Public Company's Common Stock (or Common
Stock equivalents) of under $0.22, the number of shares into which this Warrant
is convertible will automatically adjust to the quotient of the principal amount
of the Note divided by such lower price per share at which the Financing is
completed.

following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

            (a) This Warrant may be exercised at any time, in whole or in part,
for all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder, prior to the Expiration Date. To exercise this Warrant, in whole or
in part, the Holder shall complete the notice of exercise attached hereto (the
"Notice of Exercise"), and deliver this Warrant and, except as otherwise
provided in this Section 2, cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase
Price of the shares of Common Stock being purchased, together with the Notice of
Exercise, to the Company at its office referred to in Section 9. Upon receipt
thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within
ten (10) business days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed and deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock specified in
the Notice of Exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share,
as hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered
shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the
Holder shall request in the Notice of Exercise and shall be registered in the
name of the Holder or such other name as shall be designated in the Notice of
Exercise, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. This Warrant
shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates
shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person or
entity so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder
of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Notice of
Exercise, together with the cash, if any, and this Warrant, are received by the
Company as described above. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part,
the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called
for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical
with this Warrant. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and without any preemptive rights. The Company shall pay all
expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation,
execution and delivery of stock certificates pursuant to this Section, unless
such tax or charge is imposed by law upon the Holder, in which case such taxes
or charges shall be paid by the Holder. The Company shall not be required,
however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer
involved in the issue of any certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant in any name other than that of the Holder, and in
such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock
certificate until such tax or other charge has been paid or it has been
established to the satisfaction of the Company that no such tax or other charge
is due.

                                       5

            (b) In lieu of payment of the Purchase Price in cash, the Holder may
make such payment, by way of cashless exercise, as follows:

                  (i) by delivery of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate
Current Market Price on the date of exercise equal to the Purchase Price,
subject, however, to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; or

                  (ii) through the written election of the Holder to have
withheld by the Company from the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable
upon exercise, Common Stock having an aggregate Current Market Price on the date
of exercise equal to the Purchase Price.

      SECTION 3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a
fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which the Holder of this Warrant would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of
such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair Value per
share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.

      SECTION 4. Ownership of this Warrant.

            (a) The Company shall deem and treat the Holder as the holder and
owner of this Warrant (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing
hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be
required to give effect to any notice to the contrary, until presentation of
this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Section 4.

            (b) Subject to Section 5, this Warrant is exchangeable, upon the
surrender hereof by the Holder to the Company at its office referred to in
Section 9, for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate
the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such
number of shares of Common Stock as shall be designated by the Holder at the
time of such surrender. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws,
this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part upon
the books of the Company by the Holder hereof in person or by a duly authorized
attorney, and a new Warrant shall be executed and delivered by the Company of
the like tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of the
transferee, upon surrender of this Warrant duly endorsed, at said office or
agency of the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of an agreement of
unsecured indemnity and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and
date, in lieu of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be promptly cancelled by the
Company upon the surrender hereof in connection with any exchange, transfer or
replacement. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense
(other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 4.

                                       6

      SECTION 5. Restrictions. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares may not be
sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of without registration under the
Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.

      SECTION 6. Anti-Dilution Provisions; Adjustments.

            6.1 Adjustment of Number of Shares -- Issuance of Additional Shares
of Common Stock. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the
calculations made in Section 6.2, this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the
right to receive, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of shares of
Common Stock (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a share) obtained by
dividing (i) the product of the aggregate number of shares covered by this
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase Price by (ii) the Purchase
Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price.

            6.2 Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue or
sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common
Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 6.4 or Section 6.5 but excluding
Additional Shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of Rights referred
to in Section 6.9), without consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the Current Market Price, immediately prior to such issue or sale, then,
and in each such case, subject to Section 6.7, the Purchase Price shall be
reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price (calculated to the
nearest .001 of a cent), determined by multiplying such Purchase Price by a
fraction

            (a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale and
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the gross consideration received
by the Company for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so
issued or sold would purchase at the Current Market Price, and

            (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, provided that, for the
purposes of this Section 6.2, (x) immediately after any Additional Shares of
Common Stock are deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 6.4 or Section
6.5, such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding,
and (y) treasury shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding.

            6.3 Dividends and Distributions. In case the Company at any time or
from time to time after the date hereof shall declare, order, pay or make a
dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of (i) cash, (ii) any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities
or property of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, any
distribution of other or additional stock or Convertible Securities, Options or
other securities or property, by way of dividend or spin-off, reclassification,
recapitalization or similar corporate rearrangement) or (iii) any warrants or
other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any
shares of its stock or any other securities or property of any nature
whatsoever, then

                                       7

            (a) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (1) the numerator of which
shall be the Current Market Price at the date of taking such record and (2) the
denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price minus the amount
allocable to one share of Common Stock of (x) any such cash so distributable and
(y) the Fair Value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of
stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights so distributable, and

            (b) the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to equal (1) the Purchase
Price immediately prior to the adjustment multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
adjustment divided by (2) the number of shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

            A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into
shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a
distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of
such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 6.3 and, if the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller
number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change
shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 6.5.

            6.4 Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue,
sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date for the determination of
holders of any class of securities of the Company entitled to receive, any
Options or Convertible Securities (whether or not the rights thereunder are
immediately exercisable), then, and in each such case, the maximum number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating
thereto, without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent
adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the
case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of
the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption or, in case such a record date
shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date (or, if
the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the
commencement of ex-dividend trading), provided that such Additional Shares of
Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless (i) the
consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 6.6) of such shares
would be less than their Fair Value on the date of and immediately prior to such
issue, sale, grant or assumption or immediately prior to the close of business
on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on
the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), as the case may be,
and (ii) such Additional Shares of Common Stock are not purchasable pursuant to
Rights referred to in Section 6.9, and provided, further, that

            (a) whether or not the Additional Shares of Common Stock underlying
such Options or Convertible Securities are deemed to be issued, no further
adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue or sale
of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such
Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

                                       8

            (b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in
the consideration payable to the Company, or for any decrease or increase in the
number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the Purchase
Price computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or
upon the occurrence of the record date, or date prior to the commencement of
ex-dividend trading, as the case may be, with respect thereto), and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease
becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar
as it affects such Options, or the rights of conversion or exchange under such
Convertible Securities, which are outstanding at such time;

            (c) upon the expiration (or purchase by the Company and cancellation
or retirement) of any such Options which shall not have been exercised or the
expiration of any rights of conversion or exchange under any such Convertible
Securities which (or purchase by the Company and cancellation or retirement of
any such Convertible Securities the rights of conversion or exchange under
which) shall not have been exercised, the Purchase Price computed upon the
original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the
record date, or date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading, as the
case may be, with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based
thereon, shall, upon such expiration (or such cancellation or retirement, as the
case may be), be recomputed as if:

                  (i) in the case of Options for Common Stock or Convertible
            Securities, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or
            sold were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually
            issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion
            or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration
            received therefor was the consideration actually received by the
            Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such
            Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually
            received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the issue or sale
            of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or
            exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually
            received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and

                  (ii) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only
            the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued or sold upon the
            exercise of such Options were issued at the time of the issue or
            sale, grant or assumption of such Options, and the consideration
            received by the Company for the Additional Shares of Common Stock
            deemed to have then been issued was the consideration actually
            received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of
            all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration
            deemed to have been received by the Company (pursuant to Section
            6.6) upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities with
            respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

                                       9

            (d) no readjustment pursuant to subdivision (b) or (c) above shall
have the effect of increasing the Purchase Price by an amount in excess of the
amount of the adjustment thereof originally made in respect of the issue, sale,
grant or assumption of such Options or Convertible Securities; and

            (e) in the case of any such Options which expire by their terms not
more than 30 days after the date of issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof, no
adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise
of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the manner
provided in subdivision (c) above.

            6.5 Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. If at any time
the Company shall:

            (a) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of,
Additional Shares of Common Stock,

            (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares of Common Stock, or

            (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, by a reverse stock split or otherwise,

            then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be
adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of
the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted to equal (A) the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

            6.6 Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of this Section
6,

            (a) the consideration for the issue or sale of any Additional Shares
of Common Stock shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such
consideration,

                  (i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the amount
            of cash received by the Company, without deducting any expenses paid
            or incurred by the Company or any commissions or compensations paid
            or concessions or discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or
            others performing similar services in connection with such issue or
            sale,

                  (ii) insofar as it consists of property (including securities)
            other than cash, be computed at the Fair Value thereof at the time
            of such issue or sale, and

                                       10

                  (iii) in the case where Additional Shares of Common Stock are
            issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other
            assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, be the
            portion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in
            clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocable to such Additional Shares of
            Common Stock, such allocation to be determined in the same manner
            that the Fair Value of property not consisting of cash or securities
            is to be determined as provided in the definition of "Fair Value"
            herein;

            (b) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
pursuant to Section 6.4, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall
be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per share determined by
dividing

                  (i) the total amount, if any, received and receivable by the
            Company as consideration for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of
            the Options or Convertible Securities in question, plus the minimum
            aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the
            instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision
            contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration
            to protect against dilution) payable to the Company upon the
            exercise in full of such Options or the conversion or exchange of
            such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for
            Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible
            Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
            Securities, in each case computing such consideration as provided in
            the foregoing subdivision (a),

            by

                  (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set
            forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any
            provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
            number to protect against dilution) issuable upon the exercise of
            such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
            Securities; and

            (c) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
pursuant to Section 6.5, relating to stock dividends, stock splits, etc., shall
be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.

            6.7 De Minimis Adjustments. If the amount of any adjustment of the
Purchase Price per share required pursuant to this Section 6 would be less than
$.01, such amount shall be carried forward and the adjustment with respect
thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which,
together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward,
shall aggregate a change in the Purchase Price of at least $.01 per share. All
calculations under this Warrant shall be made to the nearest .001 of a cent or
to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

            6.8 Abandoned Dividend or Distribution. If the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or other distribution (which results in an adjustment to the

                                       11

Purchase Price under the terms of this Warrant) and shall, thereafter, and
before such dividend or distribution is paid or delivered to shareholders
entitled thereto, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or
distribution, then any adjustment made to the Purchase Price and number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon Warrant exercise by reason of the taking
of such record shall be reversed, and any subsequent adjustments, based thereon,
shall be recomputed.

            6.9 Shareholder Rights Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that the Company shall distribute "poison pill" rights pursuant to a
"poison pill" shareholder rights plan (the "Rights"), the Company shall, in lieu
of making any adjustment pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 hereof, make
proper provision so that each Holder who exercises a Warrant after the record
date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the
Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise, in addition to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, a number of Rights to be
determined as follows: (i) if such exercise occurs on or prior to the date for
the distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing
such Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a
holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise at the time of such exercise would be
entitled in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the
Rights; and (ii) if such exercise occurs after the Distribution Date, the same
number of Rights to which a holder of the number of shares into which the
Warrant so exercised was exercisable immediately prior to the Distribution Date
would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms
and provisions of and applicable to the Rights, and in each case subject to the
terms and conditions of the Rights.

      SECTION 7. Consolidation, Merger, Etc.

            7.1 Adjustments for Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets,
Reorganization, etc. In case the Company after the date hereof shall (a)
consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing
or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any
other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company shall
be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation
or merger, the Common Stock or Other Securities shall be changed into or
exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets
to any other Person in one or more related transactions, or (d) effect a capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or Other Securities
(other than a capital reorganization or reclassification resulting in the issue
of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which adjustment in the Purchase Price
is provided in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3), then, and in the case of each such
transaction, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the
terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant,
upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such transaction,
shall be entitled to receive (at the aggregate Purchase Price in effect at the
time of such consummation for all Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon
such exercise immediately prior to such consummation), in lieu of the Common
Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the amount of securities, cash or other property to which such
Holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder upon such consummation
if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to
adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible
to the adjustments provided for in Section 6.

                                       12

            7.2 Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Warrant, the Company shall not effect any of the transactions described in
clauses (a) through (d) of Section 7.1 unless, prior to the consummation
thereof, each Person (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver
any stock, securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as
provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (a) the obligations of the Company
under this Warrant (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such
transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the
Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company under this Warrant,
including Exhibit A hereto), (b) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such
shares of stock, securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 7, the Holder may be entitled to receive.

      SECTION 8. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that
it shall reserve and set apart and have at all times, free from preemptive
rights, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock deliverable
upon the exercise in full of this Warrant, and it shall have at all times any
other rights or privileges provided for therein sufficient to enable it at any
time to fulfill all of its obligations hereunder. If at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit
the exercise in full of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate
action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall
be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, taking
appropriate board action, recommending such an increase to the holders of Common
Stock, holding shareholders meetings, soliciting votes and proxies in favor of
such increase to obtain the requisite shareholder approval and upon such
approval, the Company shall reserve and keep available such additional shares
solely for the purpose of permitting the exercise of this Warrant. The Company
covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable
will, upon issuance, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free and clear of any liens, claims and restrictions (other than
as provided herein).

      SECTION 9. Notification by the Company.

            9.1 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common
Stock or the class or type of stock or other property for which this Warrant is
exercisable, or whenever the price at which a share of such Common Stock may be
purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section
6, the Company shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief
financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated
(including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the
Company determined the Fair Value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of
stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights referred to in Section 6.2), specifying the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and describing the number and
kind of any other shares of stock or other property for which this Warrant is
exercisable, if any, and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof,
after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly
cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder in
accordance with Section 10. The Company shall keep at its office or agency
designated pursuant to Section 10 copies of all such certificates and cause the
same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours
by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the
Holder.

                                       13

            9.2 Notice of Certain Corporate Action. The Holder shall be entitled
to the same rights to receive notice of corporate action as any holder of Common
Stock.

      SECTION 10. Notices. Any notice or other document required or permitted to
be given or delivered to the Holder shall be hand delivered or delivered by
nationally recognized overnight courier at, or sent by certified or registered
mail postage prepaid and return receipt requested to the Holder at the last
address shown on the books of the Company. Any notice or other document required
or permitted to be given or delivered to the Company shall be delivered at, or
sent by certified or registered mail to, the principal office of the Company, at
333 East 66th Street, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10021, Attn: Executive Chairman,
or such other address as shall have been furnished to the Holder by the Company.
All such communications shall be deemed to have been given or made when so
delivered by hand, or one business day after being sent by overnight delivery or
five business days after being so mailed.

      SECTION 11. No Rights as Shareholders; Limitation of Liability. This
Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a shareholder of
the Company except as expressly set forth herein. No provision hereof, in the
absence of affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase
shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability upon the Holder for
the Purchase Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

      SECTION 12. Law Governing. This Warrant shall be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to the conflict of law provisions thereof.

      SECTION 13. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party (or any predecessor in interest thereof) against which
enforcement of the same is sought. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes
of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the
provisions hereof.

      SECTION 14. Registration Rights. This Warrant is subject to the
Registration Rights provisions contained in Exhibit A hereto. By accepting this
Warrant or receiving any benefits hereunder, the Holder, and each successor
Holder, hereby agrees to the provisions set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

                                       14

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed and
attested by its duly authorized officer as of the ____ day of ________, 2005.

                                                            Exhibit A to Warrant

                               REGISTRATION RIGHTS

            The following provisions are a part of the Warrant (the "Warrant")
to purchase shares of Common Stock that was initially issued to ______________
in _________ 2005, and any warrant, in substantially the same form as the
Warrant, that is issued to any Person who or which becomes a Holder as permitted
by the Warrant. References to the "Warrant" include each such subsequently
issued Warrant. As used below, the "Issuer" means Gales Industries Incorporated
or the public company with which it enters into a "reverse merger" transaction,
"Registered Holder" means the Holder and "Registered Holders" refers to the
holders of the Warrants and the Notes (as defined below). This Warrant is one of
a series of Warrants (together, the "Warrants") issued in connection with the
Company's sale of its 12.0% Bridge Notes (the "Notes"), limited in aggregate
principal amount to $105,000. All capitalized terms below shall have the same
meanings as in the Warrant, unless otherwise defined. Paragraph references below
are to the paragraphs of this Exhibit A.

                              Registration Rights.

                  (a) Registered Holders shall have certain registration rights
as follows:

                        A. If, after the date of the this Warrant, Issuer shall
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a registration
statement ("Registration Statement") under the Securities Act, registering any
shares of Common Stock owned by any person or entity, Issuer shall include in
such Registration Statement all of the shares into which the Warrants are
exercisable, subject to the remaining terms of this Section 8(a). After such
initial Registration Statement, if the Issuer shall file a second Registration
Statement with the SEC, the Issuer the shall give written notice to each
Registered Holder thereof prior to such filing.

                        B. Within fifteen (15) days after such notice from
Issuer, each Registered Holder shall give written notice to Issuer whether or
not the Registered Holder desires to have included in the Registration Statement
all of the shares into which the Warrants are exercisable (the "Registrable
Securities"). If a Registered Holder fails to give such notice within such
period, such Registered Holder shall not have the right to have such Registered
Holder's Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration
statement. If a Registered Holder gives such notice, then Issuer shall include
such Registered Holder's Registrable Securities in the registration statement,
at Issuer's sole cost and expense, subject to the remaining terms of this
Section 8(a).

                        C. If the registration statement relates to an
underwritten offering, and the underwriter shall determine in writing that the
total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the offering, including
the Registrable Securities, shall exceed the amount which the underwriter deems
to be appropriate for the offering, the number of shares of the Registrable
Securities shall be reduced in the same proportion as the remainder of the

shares in the offering and each Registered Holder's Registrable Securities
included in such registration statement will be reduced proportionately. For
this purpose, if other securities in the registration statement are derivative
securities, their underlying shares shall be included in the computation. The
Registered Holders shall enter into such agreements as may be reasonably
required by the underwriters and the Registered Holders shall pay to the
underwriters commissions relating to the sale of their respective Registrable
Securities.

                        D. Other than their right to have their Registrable
Securities included in the Issuer's initial Registration Statement after the
date hereof, the Registered Holders shall have one other opportunity to have the
Registrable Securities registered under this Section 8(a).

                        E. The Registered Holder shall furnish in writing to
Issuer such information as Issuer shall reasonably require in connection with a
registration statement.

                  (b) In the event Issuer effects any registration under the
1933 Act of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 8(a), the Issuer
shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, and hold harmless any
Registered Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
Statement (each, a "Seller"), any underwriter, any officer, director, employee
or agent of any Seller or underwriter, and each other person, if any, who
controls any Seller or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933
Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, judgment, fines,
penalties, costs and expenses, joint or several, or actions in respect thereof
(collectively, the "Claims"), to which each such indemnified party becomes
subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto or any document filed under a state securities or blue sky
law (collectively, the "Registration Documents") or insofar as such Claims arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any
Registration Document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements made therein not misleading, and will reimburse any such
indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in investigating or defending any such Claim; provided that
the Issuer shall not be liable in any such case to the extent such Claim is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in any Registration
Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to Issuer by or on behalf of any indemnified party specifically for use in the
preparation of such Registration Document.

                  (c) In connection with any registration statement in which any
Seller is participating, each Seller, severally and not jointly, shall
indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, and hold harmless Issuer, each of its
directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each
other person, if any, who controls Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act, each other Seller and each underwriter, any officer, director,
employee or agent of any such other Seller or underwriter and each other person,
if any, who controls such other Seller or underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any Claims to which each such indemnified

party may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims
(or actions in respect thereof) are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Document, or
insofar as any Claims are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
in any Registration Document a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, and will reimburse
any such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such indemnified party in investigating or defending any such claim;
provided, however, that such indemnification or reimbursement shall be payable
only if, and to the extent that, any such Claim arises out of or is based upon
an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in any Registration Document in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to Issuer by the Seller specifically for use in
the preparation thereof.

                  (d) Any person entitled to indemnification under Sections 8(b)
or 8(c) above shall notify promptly the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement of any Claim if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is
to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8(d), but the
omission of such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under
Section 8(b) or 8(c) above, except to the extent that such failure shall
materially adversely affect any indemnifying party or its rights hereunder. In
case any action is brought against the indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it chooses, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party;
and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party that it
so chooses, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to
defend diligently the Claim within twenty (20) days after receiving notice from
the indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do
so; (ii) if the indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding
which is also brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have
concluded that there are legal defenses available to the indemnified party which
are not available to the indemnifying party; or (iii) if representation of both
parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable
standards of professional conduct, the indemnified party shall have the right to
assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one
firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction, except to the
extent any indemnified party or parties reasonably shall have concluded that
there are legal defenses available to such party or parties which are not
available to the other indemnified parties or to the extent representation of
all indemnified parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under
applicable standards of professional conduct) and the indemnifying party shall
be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor; provided, that no indemnifying
party shall be subject to any liability for any settlement of a Claim made
without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any Claim
hereunder, such indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement without
the consent of the indemnified party if such settlement attributes liability to
the indemnified party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned).

                  (e) If for any reason the indemnity provided in Section 8(b)
or 8(c) above is unavailable, or is insufficient to hold harmless, an
indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount

paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of any Claim in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from
the transactions contemplated by this Security. If, however, the allocation
provided in the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable
law, or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required by Section
8(d) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable in respect of any Claim shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
underwriter or controlling person thereof, if any, shall be required to
contribute, in respect of such underwriter's participation as an underwriter in
the offering, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at
which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the
public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligation of any underwriters to
contribute pursuant to this subsection (e) shall be several in proportion to
their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

                  (f) The provisions of Sections 8(b) through 8(e) hereof shall
be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any
indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or
omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer
of the Registrable Securities by any such party.

                  (g) If and whenever Issuer is required by the provisions of
this Section 8 to register any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, Issuer
shall, as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances:

                        A. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration
statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible and
remain effective.

                        B. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement current and to
comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act, and any regulations promulgated
thereunder, with respect to the sale or disposition of all Registrable

Securities covered by the registration statement required to effect the
distribution of the securities, but in no event shall Issuer be required to do
so for a period of more than three (3) years following the effective date of the
registration statement.

                        C. Furnish to the Sellers participating in the offering,
copies (in reasonable quantities) of summary, preliminary, final, amended or
supplemented prospectuses, in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act
and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and other documents as reasonably
may be required in order to facilitate the disposition of the securities, but
only while Issuer is required under the provisions hereof to keep the
registration statement current.

                        D. Use its best efforts to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as the
Sellers participating in the offering shall reasonably request, and do any and
all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary to enable each
participating Seller to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
in such jurisdictions.

                        E. Notify each Seller selling Registrable Securities, at
any time when a prospectus relating to any such Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act,
of Issuer's becoming aware that the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to each such Seller selling
Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus
supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of
such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances then existing.

                        F. As soon as practicable after the effective date of
the registration statement, and in any event within eighteen (18) months
thereafter, make generally available to Sellers participating in the offering an
earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a period of at least
twelve (12) consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the
registration statement which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including, at Issuer's option, Rule 158
thereunder. To the extent that Issuer files such information with the SEC in
satisfaction of the foregoing, Issuer need not deliver the above referenced
earnings statement to Seller.

                        G. Upon request, deliver promptly to counsel of each
Seller participating in the offering copies of all correspondence between the
SEC and Issuer, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to
discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to the registration statement
and permit each such Seller to do such investigation at such Seller's sole cost
and expense, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information
contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably

necessary. Each Seller agrees that it will use its best efforts not to interfere
unreasonably with Issuer's business when conducting any such investigation and
each Seller shall keep any such information received pursuant to this Subsection
G confidential.

                        H. Provide a transfer agent and registrar located in the
United States for all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement.

                        I. List the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement on such exchanges or the NASDAQ as the Common Stock may
then be listed.

                        J. Pay all Registration Expenses (as hereinafter
defined) incurred in connection with a registration of Registrable Securities,
whether or not such registration statement shall become effective; provided that
each Seller shall pay all underwriting discounts, commissions and transfer
taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Seller's Registrable
Securities pursuant to a registration statement. As used herein, "Registration

with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities but no other expenses
of the underwriters or their counsel), (iii) all printing, messenger and
delivery expenses, and (iv) the fees and expenses of counsel for Issuer and
Issuer's independent public accountants.

                  (h) Following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
the Issuer may, at any time, suspend the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement for up to thirty (30) days on each of two occasions during any twelve
(12) month period, as appropriate (the "Maximum Suspension Period"), by giving
notice ("Suspension Notice") to the Register Holders to the effect that the
Issuer has determined that it may be required to disclose a material corporate
development in the prospectus which forms a part of the Registration Statement.
In the event that the Issuer issues a Suspension Notice, the Issuer shall, prior
to the expiration of the Maximum Suspension Period, file such amendments to the
Registration Statement as may be necessary to allow for the Registrable
Securities to be sold in compliance with applicable law, advise the holders of
the Registrable Securities in writing that the use of the applicable prospectus
may be resumed, deliver to such holders copies of any additional or supplemental
or amended prospectus, if applicable, and deliver to such holders copies of any
additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in such prospectus.

      The Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the

Section 7.6. Closing Balance Sheet.

      Prior to the Closing the parties shall review the financial records of the
Company to determine the amount of the 2005 Tax Distribution. Buyer acknowledges
that any financial information provided by the Company or Shareholders in
connection with such determination will reflect the Company's best estimate of
its accounts as of the date thereof.

      As soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but not later than 90 days
after the Closing Date), Buyer will prepare, and cause a recognized firm of
independent accountants (the "Auditors") to audit and report upon, the balance
sheet of the Company at the close of business on the Closing Date. Such balance
sheet shall be referred to herein as the "Closing Balance Sheet". The Closing
Balance Sheet will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting

                                       30

principles consistent with the accounting policies, practices and assumptions
utilized by the Company in the preparation of its Stub Financials. Shareholders
will provide the Company and the Auditors with such assistance as may be
reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation and audit of the Closing
Balance Sheet and, in general, will cooperate with the Company and the Auditors
in facilitating such audit and the Buyer shall consult with the Shareholders
during the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and shall allow the
Shareholders to observe the physical inventory taken in connection therewith.

      Immediately after the audit of the Closing Balance Sheet has been
completed, the Buyer will cause the Auditors to determine the proper amount of
the 2005 Tax Distribution. The Auditor's determination of the 2005 Tax
Distribution at the Closing Date shall be delivered to the Shareholders no later
than 90 days after the Closing Date (the "2005 Tax Distribution Statement").
During the 25-day period following the Shareholders' receipt of the 2005 Tax
Distribution Statement, the Shareholders' accountants will be permitted to
review the audit working papers of the Auditors relating to the Closing Balance
Sheet and will have access to the Company's personnel as may be reasonably
necessary in connection therewith and, in general, the Buyer will cooperate with
the Shareholders and their accountants in facilitating such review. The 2005 Tax
Distribution Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the
twenty-fifth day following the Shareholders' receipt thereof unless a
Shareholder gives written notice of disagreement as to the 2005 Tax Distribution
Statement ("Notice of Disagreement") to the Buyer prior to such date. Any Notice
of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any
disagreement. If a Notice of Disagreement is received in a timely manner, the
2005 Tax Distribution Statement, as it may be amended pursuant to clauses (x)
and (y) below, shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earlier of
(x) the date the parties resolve all differences they have with respect to any
matter specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (y) the date all disputed
matters are finally resolved by the Arbitrators or Third Arbitrator (as such
terms are defined below). The 2005 Tax Distribution Statement that becomes final
and binding on the parties in accordance with the terms of this Section is
referred to herein as the "Final Statement".

      During the 15-day period following the delivery of any Notice of
Disagreement, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any differences
which they may have. If, at the end of such 15-day period, the parties have not
reached agreement on such matters, either the Shareholders or the Buyer shall
submit the matters which remain in dispute to the arbitrators (the
"Arbitrators"), for review and resolution. The Arbitrators shall be two persons
or entities, one of which shall be selected by the Buyer and one of which shall
be selected by the Shareholders. If within 20 days of receipt by the Arbitrators
of the matters which remain in dispute, the Arbitrators have failed to resolve
such matters, the Arbitrators shall mutually agree upon a third person or entity
with offices in metropolitan New York (the "Third Arbitrator") to review and
resolve the disputed matters. The decision of the Third Arbitrator with respect
to all disputed matters shall be final and binding on the parties.

      The fees of each Arbitrator shall be borne by the party selecting such
person or entity. The fees of the Third Arbitrator, if any, shall be borne fifty
percent by the Buyer and fifty percent by the Shareholders. The fees of the
Auditors incurred in connection with the audit of the Closing Balance Sheet and
the preparation of the 2005 Tax Distribution Statement and in any arbitration
shall be borne by the Company, and the fees of the Shareholders' accountants
incurred in connection with their review of the Closing Balance Sheet and the
2005 Tax Distribution Statement and in any arbitration shall be borne by the
Shareholders.

                                       31

      If the amount of the 2005 Tax Distribution reflected on the Final
Statement is greater than the amount of the 2005 Tax Distribution as tentatively
determined in accordance with Section 6.3, the excess shall be paid to the
Shareholders by the Company pro-rata in proportion to their Shares held
immediately before the Closing Date within thirty days of the determination of
the Final Statement. If the amount of the 2005 Tax Distribution reflected on the
Final Statement is less than the 2005 Tax Distribution as tentatively determined
in accordance with Section 6.3, the Shareholders, other than Jorge Peragallo who
shall be liable only for any excessive amount of the 2005 Tax Distribution
received by him, shall be jointly and severally liable to the Company for the
shortfall which shall be paid by the Shareholders to the Company within ten days
of the determination of the Final Statement.

10.4 hereof shall be (A) pursuant to this Article 10 and (B) subject to the Cap
Amount, except with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 4.2 (Shares) hereof, which shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase
Price paid to Jorge Peragallo.

      (b) The sole and exclusive remedy and recourse of the Shareholder
Indemnified Parties against the Buyer with respect to or directly relating to
the matters set forth in Sections 10.3 hereof shall be pursuant to this Article
10.

Section 10.6. Right to Defend.

      If the facts giving rise to any such indemnification shall involve any
actual claim or demand by any third party against a Buyer Indemnified Party or
Shareholder Indemnified Party (referred to herein as an "Indemnified Party"),
then the Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice of any such claim to
the indemnifying party, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the
nature, basis and amount of such claim (the "Notice of Third Party Claim"). It
is a condition precedent to the applicable indemnifying party's obligation to
indemnify the applicable Indemnified Party for such claim that such Indemnified
Party timely provide to such indemnifying party the applicable Notice of Third
Party Claim, provided that the failure to provide such Notice of Third Party
Claim shall only relieve such indemnifying party of its or his obligation to
indemnify for such claim only to the extent that such indemnifying party has
been prejudiced by such Indemnified Party's failure to give the Notice of Third
Party Claim as required. The indemnifying party receiving such Notice of Third
Party Claim may (without prejudice to the right of any Indemnified Party to
participate at its own expense through counsel of its own choosing) undertake
the defense of such claims or actions at its expense with counsel chosen and
paid by its giving written notice (the "Election to Defend") to the Indemnified
Party within thirty (30) days after the date the Notice of Third Party Claim is
deemed received; provided, however, that the indemnifying party receiving the
Notice of Third Party Claim may not settle such claims or actions without the
consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, except if the sole relief provided is monetary damages to
be borne solely by the indemnifying party; and, provided further, if the
defendants in any action include both the indemnifying party and the Indemnified

                                       38

Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that counsel
selected by the indemnifying party has a conflict of interest because of the
availability of different or additional defenses to the parties, the Indemnified
Party shall cooperate in the defense of such claim and shall make available to
the indemnifying party pertinent information under its control relating thereto,
but the Indemnified Party shall have the right to its own counsel and to control
its defense and shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in such separate defense. In no event will the provisions of
this Article reduce or lessen the obligations of the parties under this Article,
if prior to the expiration of the foregoing thirty (30) day notice period, the
Indemnified Party furnishing the Notice of Third Party Claim responds to a third
party claim if such action is reasonably required to minimize damages or avoid a
forfeiture or penalty or because of any requirements imposed by law. If the
indemnifying party receiving the Notice of Third Party Claim does not duly give
the Election to Defend as provided above, then it will be deemed to have
irrevocably waived its right to defend or settle such claims, but it will have
the right, at its expense, to attend, but not otherwise to participate in,
proceedings with such third parties; and if the indemnifying party does duly
give the Election to Defend, then the Indemnified Party giving the Notice of
Third Party Claim will have the right at its expense, to attend, but not
otherwise to participate in, such proceedings. The parties to this Agreement
will not be entitled to dispute the amount of any Damages (including reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses) related to such third party claim resolved as
provided above.

Section 10.7. Subrogation.

      If the Indemnified Party receives payment or other indemnification from
the indemnifying party hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to
the extent of such payment or indemnification to all rights in respect of the
subject matter of such claim to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled, to
institute appropriate action against third parties for the recovery thereof,
including under any insurance policies, and the Indemnified Party agrees to
assist and cooperate in good faith with the indemnifying party and to take any
action reasonably required by such indemnifying party, at the expense of such
indemnifying party, in enforcing such rights.

      If the Shareholders shall have paid Buyer Indemnified Party for an
indemnified claim arising out of Section 4.21 hereof or otherwise, and the Buyer
Indemnified Party or the Company subsequently receives payment under insurance
policies (existing prior to the Closing) covering such claim, the Buyer
Indemnified Party shall repay to such Shareholders the amount of such prior
payment made by Shareholders; provided, however, such repayment shall not exceed
the actual amount received by the Buyer Indemnified Party under such policy,
less all reasonable fees (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the Buyer
Indemnified Party in pursuing and collecting under such policy.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                                   TERMINATION

Section 11.1. Termination Events.

                                       39

      Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2, this Agreement may be
terminated by written notice given at or prior to the Closing Date in the manner
hereinafter provided:

      (a) by either Buyer or the Shareholders if a material default or breach
shall be made by the other party hereto with respect to the due and timely
performance of any of its covenants and agreements contained herein, or with
respect to the due compliance with any of its representations, warranties or
covenants, and, after notice of such default has been received by the defaulting
party, such default cannot be cured prior to the Closing Date, or the date that
is fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such notice, whichever is later, and
has not been waived;

      (b)   (i) by Buyer if all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 shall
      not have been satisfied on or before the Closing Date, other than through
      failure of Buyer to fully comply with its obligations hereunder, and shall
      not have been waived by Buyer on or before such date; or

            (ii) by the Shareholders, if all of the conditions set forth in
      Section 8.2 shall not have been satisfied on or before the Closing Date,
      other than through failure of the Shareholders to fully comply with its
      obligations hereunder, and shall not have been waived by all of the
      Shareholders on or before such date.

      (c) by mutual consent of Buyer and all of the Shareholders; or

      (d) by either Buyer or the Shareholders if the Closing shall not have
occurred, other than through failure of any such party to fulfill its
obligations hereunder, on or before October 15, 2005. Time shall be of the
essence as to this provision only.

      Termination of this Agreement by any Shareholder shall be effective only
as to the obligations of such Shareholder and the Buyer with respect to the
Shares held by such Shareholder, and the Buyer and remaining Shareholders shall
be free to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to the
Shares of such other Shareholders. Likewise, Buyer shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement as set forth above with respect to each of the
Shareholders on an individual basis and termination of this Agreement by Buyer
shall be effective only as to the obligations of the Buyer and those
Shareholders designated by Buyer with respect to the Shares held by such
Shareholders, and the Buyer and remaining Shareholders shall be free to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to the Shares of
such other Shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer purchases the
Shares of any Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, it will purchase the
Shares of all Shareholders who tender their Shares including those Shareholders
who have violated a representation, covenant or condition hereof other than
those representations affecting the ability of any Shareholder to transfer clear
valid title to his Shares.

Section 11.2. Effect of Termination.

      (a) In the event that this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to
Section 11.1, all further obligations of Buyer and those Shareholders as to
which the termination is effective under this Agreement, except pursuant to
Sections 6.1.(b), 12.11 and 12.15, shall terminate without further liability of
either party.

                                       40

      (b)   (i) If this Agreement is terminated by one or more Shareholders
      pursuant to Section 11.1(a) or because one or more of the conditions set
      forth in Section 8.2 is not satisfied as a result of the Buyer's failure
      to comply with its obligations hereunder, then each of such Shareholders
      (and the Company, if terminated by all the Shareholders) shall have the
      right to be reimbursed by the Buyer for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
      (including reasonable legal and accounting costs) actually incurred by him
      or it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and neither
      such Shareholder and, in the case this Agreement is terminated as provided
      in this clause by all Shareholders, the Company shall have any further
      recourse against the Buyer.

            (ii) If this Agreement is terminated by the Buyer pursuant to
      Section 1l.1(a) or because one or more of the conditions set forth in
      Section 8.1 is not satisfied as a result of any Shareholder's failure to
      comply with its obligations hereunder, then Buyer shall only have the
      right to be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket
      costs (including reasonable legal and accounting costs) actually incurred
      by the Buyer subsequent to September 30, 2004, in connection with the
      transactions contemplated hereby, and the Buyer shall have no further
      recourse against the Company or any Shareholder.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

Shareholders and Buyer shall each pay their own respective expenses and the fees
and expenses of their respective counsel and other experts. If the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company shall pay pro-rata all
reasonable legal and accounting expenses incurred by all of the Shareholders in
connection with the negotiation and consummation of this Agreement and any all
related agreements, up to a maximum of $250,000.

Section 12.2. Waivers.

      No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by
or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party
taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement contained herein or in any other documents. The waiver by any party
hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Any party hereto may, at or
before the Closing, waive any conditions to its obligations hereunder which are
not fulfilled.

Section 12.3. Binding Effect; Benefits.

      This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and shall

Buyer Indemnified Parties, the Shareholder Indemnified Parties or their
respective successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the other
parties; provided, however, that at Closing Buyer may assign this Agreement to
an entity in which Buyer holds a greater than ninety percent (90%) equity
interest, without the prior written consent of the Company and the Shareholders,
provided, however, Buyer shall remain liable for the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. Any assignment or delegation in violation of
this Section 12.4 shall be null and void.

                      SUBORDINATED SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

$962,000.00                                                    November 30, 2005
                                                              New York, New York

      For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Gales Industries Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay to the order of Luis Peragallo or his registered
assigns (the "Holder"), the principal sum of Nine Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand
Dollars ($962,000.00), as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 1(d)
of this Note, together with interest thereon as provided for herein, which shall
be payable (i) in twenty equal consecutive quarterly installments of principal
in the amount of Forty-eight Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($48,100), as such
amount may be increased pursuant to Section 1(d) of this Note, plus accrued
interest thereon from the date of original issuance of this Note or the
immediately preceding date of payment of interest, as the case may be, through
and including the date of payment of such interest, payable on the last business
day of each calendar quarter commencing December 31, 2005, and continuing
through and including September 30, 2010, or, if earlier, (ii) when, upon or
after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), such amount is
declared due and payable by the Holder or made automatically due and payable in
accordance with the terms hereof (the "Maturity Date").

      The Company further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal sum of
this Note at an adjustable rate equal to the "Prime Rate" (as hereinafter
defined), as adjusted as provided for herein, plus 0.5% per annum. Interest
shall be payable on any portion of the principal amount of this Note outstanding
from time to time from and after the scheduled date for payment thereof until
payment thereof in full, at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 7% per
annum. For purposes hereof the "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate publicly
announced by Citibank as its "prime rate" (even though Citibank may not lend
money at such rate) or, if Citibank ceases to quote such rate, the Federal Funds
rate. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365/366 day year and the
actual number of days elapsed and the rate of interest charged hereunder shall
change effective on the first day of each calendar quarter (to wit, October 1,
January 1, April 1 and July 1) to the Prime Rate in effect as of the end of such
date or the immediately preceding business day. In no event shall the Holder
hereof, or any permitted successor or assign, be entitled to receive, collect or
retain any amount of interest paid hereon in excess of that permitted by
applicable law.

      This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time. All payments
made pursuant to this Note shall be applied first to reimbursable expenses,
interest accrued, if any, and then principal.

      This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement,
dated as of July 25, 2005 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), entered into between
the Company, Luis Peragallo, Air Industries Machining, Corp., Jorge Peragallo,
Peter Rettaliata, and Dario Peragallo.

      The following is a statement of rights of the Holder and the conditions to
which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by acceptance of this Note,
agrees:

                                       1

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.3

      1. Subordination. (a) This Note will be subordinate and inferior to the
Company's Senior Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined). The Company for itself,
its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees and the Holder of this Note,
for himself, his successors and assigns, by his acceptance of this Note likewise
covenants and agrees, that to the extent provided below the payment of all
amounts due pursuant to this Note is hereby expressly subordinated and junior in
right of payment to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the
Company's Senior Indebtedness. As used herein, the term "Senior Indebtedness"
shall mean the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on any and all,
(i) indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money or obligations or with
respect to which the Company is a guarantor, to banks, insurance companies,
lease financing institutions or other financial institutions or entities
regularly engaged in the business of lending money, in each case as in effect as
of the date hereof, and (ii) any such indebtedness or any debentures, notes or
other evidence of indebtedness issued in exchange for or to refinance such
Senior Indebtedness, or any indebtedness arising from the satisfaction of such
Senior Indebtedness by a guarantor, provided that such indebtedness issued in
exchange for or to refinance Senior Indebtedness or arising from the
satisfaction of Senior Indebtedness by a Guarantor is on commercially reasonable
terms as of the date of incurrence.

            (b) Upon the acceleration of any Senior Indebtedness or upon the
maturity of all or any portion of the principal amount of any Senior
Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all such Senior
Indebtedness which has been so accelerated or matured shall first indefeasibly
be paid in full before any payment is made by the Company or any person acting
on behalf of the Company on account of any obligations evidenced by this Note.

            (c) The Company shall not pay any principal portion of this Note, or
interest accrued thereon, before the scheduled due date thereof if at such time
there exists a Blockage Event (as hereafter defined) and written notice thereof
has been given to the Company and the Holder by the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness.

            (d) A "Blockage Event" is deemed to exist for the period of time
commencing on the date of receipt by the Holder of written notice of the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (as defined in the instruments
evidencing the Senior Indebtedness), which notice shall specify such Default or
Event of Default, and ending on:

                  (i) the date such Default or Event of Default under the Senior
Indebtedness, as applicable, is cured or waived, provided that such Default or
Event of Default is in the payment of any amount due thereunder; or

                  (ii) in the case of any other Default or Event of Default
under the Senior Indebtedness, the earlier of (A) the date on which such Default
or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived and (B) the date that is 180
days after the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, provided that a
Blockage Event with respect to a single specified Default or Event of Default
may be deemed to occur only once for each twelve-month period, provided,
further, that no Default or Event of Default that existed at the commencement
of, or during the pendency of, a Blockage Event shall serve as the basis for the
institution of any subsequent Blockage Event.

The Holder has the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such Default or
Event of Default under Senior Indebtedness to the extent it can be cured by the
payment of money. If the Holder shall have cured any such Default or Event of
Default under Senior Indebtedness to the extent such Default or Event of Default
can be cured by the payment of money, then such amount (each, an "Additional

                                       2

Principal Amount") shall be added to the aggregate principal amount then owing
to the Holder pursuant to this Note. The Company shall pay equal quarterly
installments of each Additional Principal Amount pursuant to the first paragraph
of this Note from the date such Additional Principal Amount is incurred pursuant
to the first paragraph through and including September 30, 2010, subject to all
principal amounts being declared due and payable or made automatically due and
payable when, upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default under this
Note.

            (e) At any time there exists a Blockage Event, (i) the Company shall
not, directly or indirectly, make any payment of any part of this Note, (ii) the
Holder shall not demand or accept from the Company or any other person any such
payment or cancel, set-off or otherwise discharge any part of the indebtedness
represented by this Note, and (iii) neither the Company nor the Holder shall
otherwise take or permit any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the
priority position of any holder of Senior Indebtedness over the Holder of this
Note.

            (f) The holders of more than fifty percent in principal amount of
the Senior Indebtedness are hereby authorized to demand specific performance of
this Note, whether or not the Company shall have complied with the provisions
hereof applicable to it, at any time when the Holder shall have failed to comply
with any provision hereof applicable to such Holder. The Holder hereby
irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which
might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance hereof in any
action brought therefor by any holder of Senior Indebtedness.

            (g) No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the
subordination provisions of this obligation shall be impaired by any act or
failure to act by the Company or the Holder or by their failure to comply with
this Note or any other agreement or document evidencing, related to or securing
the obligations hereunder. Without in any way limiting the generality of the
preceding sentence, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from
time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holder, without incurring
responsibility to the Holder and without impairing or releasing the
subordination provided in this Note or the obligations of the Holder to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change
the manner, place or terms of payment of any Senior Indebtedness; (ii) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing any Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any person or entity
liable in any manner for the collection of any Senior Indebtedness; and (iv)
exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company or any other
person or entity.

            (h) In the event that the Issuer shall make any payment or
prepayment to the Holder on account of the obligations under this Note which is
prohibited by this Section, such payment shall be held by the Holder, in trust
for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata as to each of such holders on the basis
of the respective amounts and priorities of Senior Indebtedness held by them) to
the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness due to such holders of
Senior Indebtedness in full in accordance with its terms (whether or not such
Senior Indebtedness is due and owing), after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

                                       3

            (i) After all Senior Indebtedness indefeasibly is paid in full and
until the obligations under the Note are paid in full, the Holder shall be
subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent that
distributions otherwise payable to the Holder have been applied to the payment
of Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or
securities to which the Holder would be entitled except for the provisions of
this Section and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section to
holders of such Senior Indebtedness by the Holder, shall, as between the
Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and the
Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Issuer to or on account of such Senior
Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Section are solely
for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, on the one hand and the Holder, on the other hand.

            (j) In any insolvency, receivership, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization proceeding, or in any other proceeding, whether
voluntary or involuntary, by or against the Company under any bankruptcy or
insolvency law or laws relating to relief of debtors, to compositions,
extensions or readjustments of indebtedness:

                  (i) the claims of any holders of Senior Indebtedness against
the Company shall be paid indefeasibly in full in cash or such payment shall
have been provided for in a manner acceptable to the holders of at least a
majority of the then outstanding principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness
before any payment is made to the Holder;

                  (ii) until all Senior Indebtedness is indefeasibly paid in
full in cash or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner acceptable
to the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding principal amount
of the Senior Indebtedness, any distribution to which the Holder would be
entitled but for this Section shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness,
except for distribution of securities issued by the Company which are
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness; and

                  (iii) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall have the right
to enforce, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give
acquittance therefor. If, in or as a result of any action case or proceeding
under Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended from time to time , or any
comparable statute, relating to the Company, the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness return, refund or repay to the Company or any trustee or committee
appointed in such case or proceeding any payment or proceeds of any Collateral
in connection with such action, case or proceeding alleging that the receipt of
such payments or proceeds by the holders of the Senior Indebtedness was a
transfer voidable under state or federal law, then the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness shall not be deemed ever to have received such payments or proceeds
for purposes of this Note in determining whether and when all Senior
Indebtedness has been paid in full. In the event the holders of Senior
Indebtedness receive amounts in excess of payment in full (cash) of amounts
outstanding in respect of Senior Indebtedness (without giving effect to whether
claims in respect of the Senior Indebtedness are allowed in any insolvency
proceeding), the holders of the Senior Indebtedness shall pay such excess
amounts to the Holder.

                                       4

            (k) By its acceptance of this Note, the Holder agrees to execute and
deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the
Company or the holder of any Senior Indebtedness in order to implement the
foregoing provisions of this Section.

      2. Events of Default. If any of the events specified in this Section shall
occur (herein individually referred to as an "Event of Default"), the Holder
may, so long as such condition exists, in addition to any other right, power or
remedy granted to the Holder under this Note, the Stock Purchase Agreement, the
Security Agreement (as hereinafter defined), or applicable law, either by suit
in equity or by action at law, or both, declare the entire principal amount (and
accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly
waived, provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Section 2(c) or 2(d) hereof, the entire principal amount (and
accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts shall automatically become due
and payable:

            (a) Payment of any portion of the principal of this Note or interest
accrued thereon shall be delinquent for a period of 10 days or more after the
due date thereof;

            (b) If the Company shall fail to observe any covenant or other
provision contained in this Note (other than with respect to payment), the Stock
Purchase Agreement or the Security Agreement and such failure of observance
shall be continuing for 10 days after the Holder has given written notice
thereof;

            (c) The institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated
as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings against it or the filing by it of a petition or answer or
consent seeking reorganization or release under the federal Bankruptcy Act, or
any other applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of
any such petition or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee or other similar official of the Company, or of any substantial part of
its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such
action;

            (d) If, within 45 days after the commencement of an action against
the Company (and service of process in connection therewith on the Company)
seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or
similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such
action shall not have been resolved in favor of the Company or all orders or
proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of the Company
stayed, or if the stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be set
aside, or if, within 45 days after the appointment without the consent or
acquiescence of the Company of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the
Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company, such
appointment shall not have been vacated;

            (e) Any declared default of the Company under any Senior
Indebtedness whether now existing or hereafter created that gives the holder
thereof the right to accelerate such Senior Indebtedness, and such Senior
Indebtedness is in fact accelerated by the holder.

                                       5

            (f) One or more judgments for the payment of money in an amount in
excess of $100,000 in the aggregate shall be rendered against the Company or any
of its subsidiaries (or any combination thereof) and shall remain undischarged
for a period of ten consecutive days during which execution shall not be
effectively stayed, or any action is legally taken by a judgment creditor to
levy upon any such judgment; or

            (g) Any representation or warranty made by the Company in the
Security Agreement is false or incorrect in any material respect when made.

      4. Security Agreement. This Note is secured by a security interest in
substantially all of the personal property of the Company pursuant to the
Security Agreement dated as of November 30, 2005 (as amended from time to time,
the "Security Agreement') by and between the Company and the Holder.

      5. Miscellaneous.

            (a) Waiver and Amendment. The rights and remedies herein reserved to
any party shall be cumulative and in addition to any other or further rights and
remedies available at law or in equity. The waiver by any party hereto of any
breach of any provision of this Note shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the

consent of the Company and the Holder and, if any such change, waiver, or
amendment is with respect to the subordination provisions, the holders of at
least a majority in the then-outstanding principal amount of the Senior

affect any other provision (or the remaining part of the affected provision)
hereof; but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had never been contained herein, but
only to the extent that such provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.4

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

      THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "Security Agreement") is made this 30th day
of November 2005 by and between Gales Industries Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation, with an address at 333 East 66th Street, 9th Floor, New York, New
York 10021 (the "Debtor") and Luis Peragallo, an individual with an address at
53 Willow Ridge Drive, Smithtown, New York 11787 (the "Secured Party").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

      This Security Agreement is entered into in conjunction with that certain
Subordinated Secured Promissory Note dated the date hereof made by the Debtor in
favor of the Secured Party (the "Note"). Except as otherwise expressly defined
herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Note.

      In order to secure payments of all amounts which may become due and owing
to the Secured Party under the Note, the Debtor has agreed to grant to the
Secured Party a continuing security interest in and to all of the property of
the Debtor.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises hereof, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants, representations and warranties
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                          SECTION 1 - SECURITY INTEREST

      1.1 Description. As security for the prompt and complete payment and
performance (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of
all of the Debtor's obligations under the Note and any and all other obligations
or debts of the Debtor to the Secured Party whether now existing or hereafter
arising, the Debtor hereby assigns and grants to the Secured Party a continuing
security interest in, upon and to all of the tangible and intangible personal
property and fixtures of the Debtor, including without limitation the property
described below, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising,
together with any and all additions thereto and replacements therefor and
proceeds and products thereof (hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"Collateral"):

            (a) all shares of outstanding capital stock of Air Industries
Machining, Corp. ("AIM") owned by Debtor or its permitted assignees under the
Note (the "Shares");

            (b) all of the Debtor's directly or indirectly held tangible
personal property, including without limitation all present and future goods,
inventory (including without limitation all printed materials, merchandise, raw
materials, work in process, finished goods and supplies), equipment,
merchandise, furniture, fixtures, office supplies, motor vehicles, machinery,
paper, tools, computers, and associated equipment now owned or hereafter
acquired, including, without limitation, the tangible personal property used in
the operation of the businesses of the Debtor or of AIM; and

            (c) all of the Debtor's other personal property, including, without
limitation, all present and future accounts, accounts receivable, investment
property, deposit accounts, rights to proceeds of letters of credit,
letter-of-credit rights, contract rights, general intangibles (including without
limitation, all goodwill, all trademarks, all other intellectual property to the
extent assignable as collateral, including without limitation all copyrights,
patents and domain names, all customer lists, vendor lists, and other printed
materials, including all catalogs, indexes, lists, data and other documents and
papers relating thereto, blue prints, designs and research and development), any
information stored on any medium, including electronic medium, related to any of
the personal property of the Debtor, all instruments, documents and chattel
paper, all commercial tort claims, all supporting obligations and all debts,
obligations and liabilities in whatever form owing to the Debtor from any
person, firm or corporation or any other legal entity, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, now or hereafter received by or belonging or owing to the
Debtor, and all guaranties and security therefor.

Any of the foregoing terms which are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of
the State of New York, as in effect from time to time (the "NYUCC") shall have
the meaning provided in the NYUCC as supplemented and expanded by the foregoing.

      1.2 Senior Debt.

            (a) Permitted Liens. The Debtor shall not create, assume or suffer
to exist any encumbrance upon any of its assets, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, except as set forth herein, and for Liens (as defined below) (i) to
secure Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Note), (ii) for taxes or
assessments or other governmental charges not yet due and payable; (iii) pledges
or deposits of money securing statutory obligations under workmen's
compensation, unemployment insurance, social security or public liability laws
or similar legislation (excluding Liens under ERISA), (iv) deposits of money
securing contracts (other than contracts for the payment of money) or leases to
which Debtor is a party; (v) inchoate and unperfected workers', mechanics' or
similar Liens arising in the ordinary course of business; (vi) carriers;
warehousemen's, suppliers or other similar possessory Liens arising in the
ordinary course of business; (vii) deposits securing or in lieu of security,
appeal or customs bonds in proceedings to which Debtor is a party; and (viii)
capital leases and purchase money security interests ("Permitted Liens"). For
purposes of this Agreement, "Lien" shall mean any interest of any kind or nature
in property securing an obligation owed to, or a claim of any kind or nature in
property by, a Person other than the owner of the property, whether such
interest is based on the common law, statute, regulation or contract, and
including, but not limited to, a judgment, security interest or lien arising
from a mortgage, encumbrance, pledge, conditional sale or trust receipt, a
lease, consignment or bailment for security purposes, a trust, or an assignment.

            (b) Subordination. The payment of the Note is subordinate and junior
in right of payment to the prior payment of the Debtor's Senior Indebtedness
pursuant to the subordination provisions contained in the Note. The Secured
Party shall, from time to time after the date hereof, at Debtor's expense,
execute and deliver any instrument and take such additional actions reasonably
requested by the Debtor to confirm or evidence the subordination referenced
hereby.

                                       2

      (c) Relative Rights. The subordination provisions of the Note are for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness
and the Secured Party against the Debtor and its property. Nothing herein or in
the Note or the agreements and other documents evidencing the Senior
Indebtedness or creating or granting any Lien securing the Senior Indebtedness
shall impair, as between the Secured Party and the Debtor, the obligation of the
Debtor to pay to the Secured Party the amounts due under the Note in accordance
with the terms and the provisions thereof and hereof; nor shall anything herein
prevent the Secured Party from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, upon
default under the Note.

      1.3 Lien Documents. As the Secured Party reasonably deems necessary, the
Debtor shall execute and deliver to the Secured Party, or have executed and
delivered:

            (a) Financing Statements. Financing statements, including without
limitation any continuation statements and fixture filings, pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial codes of the applicable jurisdictions in effect at the
applicable times, which the Secured Party shall (and is hereby authorized to)
file or record, as the case may be, in the jurisdiction where the Debtor is
incorporated and in any other jurisdiction that the Secured Party deems
appropriate; and

            (b) Other Agreements. Any other agreements, documents, instruments
and writings as the Secured Party may reasonably request from time to time to
evidence, perfect or protect the Secured Party's Lien and security interest in
the Collateral.

      1.4 Other Actions. In addition to the foregoing, the Debtor shall do
anything further that may be lawfully and reasonably required by the Secured
Party to perfect the security interest and Liens in the Collateral granted
hereunder to the Secured Party, and to preserve the priority of such security
interest and Liens and effectuate the intentions and objects of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of continuation
statements, amendments to financing statements, and any other documents required
hereunder. At the Secured Party's request, the Debtor shall also immediately
deliver to the Secured Party all items constituting Collateral for which the
Secured Party must receive possession to obtain a perfected security interest,
including, without limitation, all notes, certificates and documents of title,
Chattel Paper, Instruments, and the Shares, any other similar instruments
constituting Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Debtor shall not be
obligated to deliver to Secured Party any item constituting collateral that is
in the possession of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness; provided that
Debtor shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of any
Senior Indebtedness in possession of any item of collateral to hold such item as
agent of Secured Party.

                   SECTION 2 - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      2.1 The Debtor represents and warrants that:

                                       3

            (a) This Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Secured
Party legal, valid and enforceable Liens and security interests in all of the
Debtor's right, title and interest in the Collateral, and when financing
statements have been filed, Secured Party will have a valid and perfected Lien

not change its principal or any other place of business, or the location of any
Collateral from the locations set forth in Schedule I, or make any change in the
Debtor's name or conduct the Debtor's business operations under any fictitious
business name or trade name, without, in any such case, at least thirty (30)
days' prior written notice to the Lender.

            (c) The Debtor is the sole owner of and has good and marketable
title to each item of Collateral, free and clear of all Liens other than the
Permitted Liens and the Liens and security interests in the Collateral granted
hereunder to the Secured Party.

            (d) No security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security
or lien instrument on continuation statement covering all or part of the
Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except (i) as may have
been filed by the Debtor in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this
Agreement, (ii) as permitted to exist with respect to the Permitted Liens, or
(iii) such documents or instruments which remain on file or of record but which
relate to Liens or security interests which the Debtor hereby represents and
warrants have been fully discharged and terminated.

                              SECTION 3 - COVENANTS

      3.1 The Debtor covenants that until all of its obligations under the Note
are completely and indefeasibly satisfied in full, that:

            (a) The Debtor shall give thirty (30) days prior written notice to
the Secured Party of any change in the location of any Collateral from that set
forth in Schedule I or of any change of its current principal place of business.

            (b) Except for Collateral that is obsolete or no longer used in the
Debtor's business, the Debtor will keep the Collateral in good order and repair
(normal wear excepted) and adequately insured at all times. The Debtor will pay
promptly when due all taxes and assessments on the Collateral or for its use or
operation, except for taxes and assessments contested in good faith and for
which adequate reserves are created. The Secured Party may at its option
discharge any taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances to which
any Collateral is at any time subject, and may, upon the failure of the Debtor
to do so in accordance with the terms hereof, purchase insurance on any
Collateral and pay for the repair, maintenance or preservation thereof, and the
Debtor agrees to reimburse the Secured Party on demand for any payments or
expenses incurred by the Secured Party pursuant to the foregoing authorization
and any unreimbursed amounts shall constitute obligations for all purposes
hereof.

                                       4

            (c) The Debtor will not enter into any transaction with, including,
without limitation, the purchase, sale or exchange of property or the rendering
of any service to any of its affiliates, except in the ordinary course of, and
pursuant to the reasonable requirements of, the Debtor's business and upon fair
and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Debtor than could be obtained in a
comparable arm's-length transaction with an unaffiliated person or entity.

            (d) The Debtor shall advise the Secured Party promptly upon the
Debtor becoming aware that it owns any commercial tort claims. With respect to
any commercial tort claim, the Debtor will execute and deliver such documents as
the Secured Party deems necessary to create, perfect and protect his security
interest and Lien in such commercial tort claim.

                              SECTION 4 - REMEDIES

      4.1 Rights and Remedies on Default. Subject to any and all rights of the
holders of the Debtor's Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the Note, the Secured
Party may, following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the
Note), exercise rights and remedies of a secured party granted to it under the
Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and may exercise all
rights and remedies under any other applicable law, including, without
limitation, the following rights and remedies:

            (a) the right to take possession of, send notices, sell and collect
directly all or any part of the Collateral, with or without judicial process
(including, without limitation, the right to notify the United States postal
authority to redirect all mail addressed to the Debtor to an address designated
by the Secured Party);

            (b) by its own means or with judicial assistance, enter the Debtor's
or AIM's premises and take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, or
render it unusable, or dispose of or realize upon all or in part of the
Collateral in any order desired by the Secured Party on such premises without
any liability for rent, storage, utilities or other sums, and the Debtor shall
not resist or interfere with such action; and

            (c) require the Debtor, at the Debtor's expense, to assemble all or
any part of the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at any
place designated by the Secured Party.

The Debtor hereby agrees that a notice received by it at least ten (10) days
before the time of any intended public sale or of the time after which any
private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be
deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. If permitted
by applicable law, any perishable inventory or Collateral which threatens to
speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold
immediately by the Secured Party without prior notice to the Debtor. The Secured
Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent
permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or
any part of the Collateral so sold free of any equity or right of redemption
which the Debtor hereby waives. The Debtor covenants and agrees not to interfere
with or impose any obstacle to the Secured Party's exercise of its rights and
remedies with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of
Default.

                                       5

      4.2 Intellectual Property License. The Debtor hereby assigns, transfers
and conveys to the Secured Party, effective upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, the non-exclusive right and license to use
all intellectual property owned or used by the Debtor together with any goodwill
associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable the Secured Party to
realize on the Collateral and any successor or permitted assign to enjoy the
benefits of the Collateral. This right and license shall insure to the benefit
of all successors, assigns and transferees of the Secured Party, whether by
voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed
in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license is granted free of
charge and does not require the consent of any other person.

      4.3 Nature of Remedies. Subject to any and all rights of the holders of
the Debtor's Senior Indebtedness, the Secured Party shall have the right to
proceed against all or any portion of the Collateral in any order. All rights
and remedies granted the Secured Party hereunder and under any agreement
referred to herein, or otherwise available at law or in equity, shall be deemed
concurrent and cumulative, and not alternative remedies, and the Secured Party
may proceed with any number of remedies at the same time until all existing and
future obligations under the Note are completely and indefeasibly satisfied in
full. The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or
release of any other right or remedy, and the Secured Party, upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, may proceed against the Debtor, and/or the Collateral,
at any time, under any agreement, with any available remedy and in any order.

      WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of that certain plot, piece or parcel of land
described in Exhibit A annexed hereto (the "Land") and all improvements thereon
erected, known as 1480 North Clinton Avenue, Bay Shore, New York (collectively
the "Improvements") (the Land and the Improvements are hereinafter collectively
called the "Premises"); and

      WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell and convey and Purchaser desires to
purchase the Premises;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein set forth,
Purchaser and Seller hereby agree as follows:

      1. Sale of Premises.

            1.1. On the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Seller
agrees to sell and Purchaser agrees to purchase the Premises.

            1.2. The sale also includes all right, title and interest, if any,
of Seller in and to all easements, rights of way, privileges, licenses,
appurtenances and other rights and benefits, if any, running with the Premises.

            1.3. All of Seller's right, title and interest, if any in fixtures,
equipment, furniture, furnishings, fitting or articles of personal property

      2. Purchase Price.

            2.1. The purchase price of the Premises is One Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the "Purchase Price") payable upon delivery of
the Deed (as hereinafter defined) on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined)
by, at Seller's option, Purchaser's unendorsed certified check, drawn on a bank
which is a member of the New York City Clearinghouse Association ("Acceptable
Check") payable to the order of Seller (or as otherwise directed by Seller)
without intervening endorsement, or by wire transfer of immediately available
federal funds to an account in a bank in accordance with wire transfer
instructions furnished by Seller prior to the Closing Date, or by (at Seller's
option) a combination of both.

      3. State of Title.

            3.1. The Premises are to be sold and conveyed subject to those
exceptions to title set forth on Exhibit B ("Permitted Exceptions") and the
leases on Exhibit C which shall be assigned to Purchaser. The leases on Exhibit
C are referred to herein as the Leases (the "Leases"). Any exceptions to title
set forth in Exhibit B and the Leases may be omitted from the Deed but shall
nevertheless survive the delivery of the Deed.

            3.2. On the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser fee simple
title and Purchaser shall accept such title as a reputable title company
licensed to do business in the State of New York (the "Title Company") is

ALTA form of policy and to the Leases.

            3.3. The amount of unpaid taxes, assessments, water charges and
sewer rents, prorated through the Closing Date, which Seller is obligated to pay
and discharge, with the interest and penalties thereon to a date not less than
two (2) business days after the Closing Date, may at the option of Seller be
allowed to Purchaser out of the Purchase Price. If on the Closing Date there are
any other liens or encumbrances which Seller is obligated to pay or discharge in
order to convey to Purchaser such title as is herein provided to be conveyed,
Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided:

                  (a) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at the closing of title,
      instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such liens and
      encumbrances of record together with the monies sufficient, as determined
      by the Title Company, for the cost of recording or filing said
      instruments; or

                  (b) Seller, having made arrangements with the Title Company,
      shall deposit with said company sufficient monies acceptable to the Title
      Company to ensure the obtaining and the recording of such satisfactions.

      Closing Date, agrees to provide at Closing separate wire transfer and/or
      Acceptable Checks as requested, aggregating the amount of the Purchase
      Price set forth in Article 2.1 hereof, to facilitate the satisfaction of
      any such liens or encumbrances. The existence of any such liens or
      encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title if Seller shall
      comply with the foregoing requirements and the Title Company shall agree
      to insure the Purchaser against collection of such liens and/or
      encumbrances, without additional cost to Purchaser.

            3.4. Purchaser agrees to make an application to Title Company
promptly after the execution of this Agreement for a full title search and
examination upon the Premises, and Purchaser further agrees that Purchaser will
cause to be delivered to Seller's counsel a copy of the title report and
examination of such Title Company. At least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled
Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the title re-examined by the Title Company
and shall deliver to Seller's counsel a copy of the Title Company's updated
title report with a notice of liens, encumbrances or other defects of title
subject to which Purchase is unwilling to accept title.

                                       2

            3.5. (a) Seller agrees to satisfy all mortgages on the Premises. Any
judgement, lien, encumbrance or objection to which Seller's title to the
Premises is subject on the Closing Date or any other valid ground which
Purchaser may then have for refusing to close this transaction other than (i)
mortgages (which Seller is obligated to satisfy), (ii) those Permitted
Exceptions subject to which Purchaser is obligated to accept title hereunder and
(iii) the Leases, are referred to herein as "Objectionable Liens." If on the
Closing Date Seller's title to the Premises is subject to any Objectionable
Liens and Purchaser shall be unwilling to waive the same and close Seller shall
have the right, at Seller's sole election to either: (a) take such action as
Seller shall deem advisable to remove, remedy or comply with such Objectionable
Liens and Seller is obligated to spend up to two hundred fifty thousand
($250,000) dollars (the "Maximum Expense") to remove, remedy or comply with such
Objectionable Liens except Seller shall not be obligated to commence any action
or proceeding to cure any such defect or to expend more than the Maximum Expense
to remove any Objectionable Liens, or (b) to cancel this Agreement, provided
that if Seller notifies Purchaser of its election to cancel this Agreement,
Purchaser shall have the right to waive such Objectionable Liens and to close
this transaction, in which event Purchaser shall be given a credit equal to the
reasonably estimated cost of removing, remedying or complying with such
Objectionable Liens, not to exceed $250,000, less such amount as Seller may have
spent in attempting to remove, remedy or comply with such Objectionable Liens.
In the event of Seller's election to take action to remove, remedy or comply
with such Objectionable Liens, Seller shall be entitled to one or more
adjournments of the Closing Date for one or more periods to a date not later
than the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2005, by and among Gales Industries,
Incorporated, Air Industries Machining, Corp., Luis Peragallo, Jorge Peragallo,
Peter Rettaliata and Dario Peragallo (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") as amended
or may be amended. If for any reason whatsoever Seller shall not have succeeded
in removing, remedying or complying with such Objectionable Liens at the
expiration of such adjournments, or at such time prior thereto as Seller
determines that it will not be able to satisfy same, Seller shall give Purchaser
notice thereof and Purchaser shall have five (5) business days from the delivery
of such notice in accordance with the terms hereof to elect by notice to Seller
to purchase the Premises subject to such Objectionable Liens with a credit as
provided above. If Purchaser shall still be unwilling to waive the same and to
close this transaction without abatement of the Purchase Price or allowance of
any kind other than as provided above, this Agreement shall be deemed to be
canceled. In the event of the cancellation of this Agreement under any of the
circumstances referred to and as provided in this Article 3.5, this Agreement
shall cease, terminate and come to an end, and (except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement), neither party hereto shall have any rights,
obligations or liabilities against or to the other, except that Purchaser shall
be entitled to reimbursement for the net amount charged Purchaser by the Title
Company for a title examination without issuance of a policy and the net cost to
Purchaser of a survey for the Premises (said reimbursable items are herein
referred to as "Purchaser's Title and Survey Costs"). In no event shall Seller
be required to, and nothing herein contained shall obligate Seller to, expend
any money in excess of two hundred fifty thousand ($250,000) dollars in the
aggregate or to bring any action or proceeding or otherwise incur any costs or
expenses to cure any purported defect or objection or to fulfill any condition
or to render or deliver title to the Premises to Purchaser as herein provided,
except as set forth in this Section.

                                       3

            (b) Other than as set forth in Schedule 4.27 to the Stock Purchase
Agreement, all notes or notices of violation of law or governmental advances,
orders or requirements which were noted or issued prior to the date of this
Agreement by any governmental department, agency or bureau having jurisdiction
as to conditions affecting the Premises and all liens which have attached to the
Premises prior to the date hereof shall be the obligations of Seller to remove.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reasonable cost of the removal of the
Objectionable Liens and violations, in the aggregate, exceeds two hundred fifty
thousand ($250,000) dollars less such amount as Seller may expend or credit to
Purchaser in respect of Objectionable Liens as provided in Section 3.5(a) (such
amount being referred to as the "Remainder"), then Seller shall have the right
to cancel this Agreement, provided that if Seller notifies Purchaser of its
election to cancel this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to waive such
violations and liens, and to close this transaction, in which event Purchaser
shall be given a credit equal to the Remainder.

      In no event shall the aggregate amount which Seller is obligated to expend
or credit to Purchaser in respect of Objectionable Liens pursuant to Section
3.5(a) and violations pursuant to this Section 3.5(b) exceed two hundred fifty
thousand ($250,000) dollars.

            3.6. Corporate franchise or business taxes owing to municipal,
county or state governments by any corporation in the chain of title of the
Premises, or any transfer, inheritance, estate, dissolution, license or similar
taxes, charges or liens not excepted in this Agreement, shall not constitute an
objection to title, and Purchaser shall take title subject to the same provided
that the Title Company will agree to affirmatively insure at no additional cost
to Purchaser that said taxes or other items will not be collected out of the
Premises.

      4. Adjustments.

            4.1. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
apportionments shall be made in accordance with the "Customs in Respect to Title
Closings" adopted by the Real Estate Board of New York, Inc. The following are

      which assessed;

                  (b) water and sewer rents and/or charges on the basis of the

                  (c) water meter and sewer rent meter charges in accordance
      with the amounts fixed with respect thereto in a meter reading made as of
      a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, except
      that if such reading cannot with reasonable efforts be obtained by such
      date, then the unfixed water meter and sewer charges, if any, for any
      intervening period shall be apportioned on the basis of the last reading
      therefor;

                  (d) rents and additional rents under the Leases and interest,
      if any, payable in respect of the deposits under the Leases which are
      delivered to Purchaser;

                                       4

                  (e) utilities;

                  (f) charges payable under transferable Service Contracts, if
      any; and

                  (g) fuel, if any, to the extent not payable by tenants under
      the Leases.

            4.2. If the Closing shall occur before a tax rate is fixed, the
apportionment of taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the next
preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation and the parties shall
adjust post-closing upon receipt of the tax bill.

            4.3. If, on the Closing Date, the Premises or any part thereof shall
be or shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments which are or may
become payable in annual installments, of which the first installment is then a
charge or lien, or has been paid, then for the purpose of this Agreement all the
unpaid installments of any such assessment, including those which are to become
due and payable after the Closing Date, shall be payable by Seller. If the first
installment shall be due following the Closing then Purchaser shall assume the
entire obligation without abatement.

            4.4. In the event the apportionments as provided in this Article,
when computed result in a payment due Seller, then such payment shall be made at
the Closing by Acceptable Check. If such apportionment results in a credit to
Purchaser, the cash portion of the Purchase Price due at Closing shall be
reduced by the amount of such credit.

            4.5. As to any rent arrears for periods preceding the Closing, and
any amounts paid by the Tenants under the Leases in respect of water and sewer
rents and charges, water meter and sewer rent meter charges, utilities and real
estate and vault taxes, accruing prior to the Closing, provided the applicable
Tenant is otherwise current in respect of all amounts due under its Lease,
Purchaser shall receive the same as a trust fund for remission to Seller in
payment of the Tenants' arrears, provided Purchaser shall have no obligation to
seek to collect the same on behalf of Seller. The provisions of this Article
shall survive the Closing.

      records relating to the Premises and maintained by Seller during Seller's
      ownership thereof; and

                  (i) such additional documentation as may be reasonably
      required to consummate the transaction contemplated by this contract.

            5.3. At the Closing, Seller shall also deliver to Purchaser the

      Corporation Law, Section 909, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser: (i) a
      resolution of its board of directors authorizing the delivery of the Deed
      and (ii) a certificate executed by an officer of such corporation
      certifying as to the adoption of such resolution and setting forth facts
      demonstrating that the delivery of the Deed is in conformity with the

      require in order to omit from its title insurance policy all exceptions
      for judgments, bankruptcies or other returns against Seller and person or
      entities whose names are the same as or are similar to Seller's name.

      10. Damages.

            10.1. In the event of a default by Purchaser in performing any
material obligation on Purchaser's part to be performed hereunder, including
without limitation, to pay the Purchase Price as provided in this Agreement or
in any other provision hereof which would entitle Seller to cancel this
Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void and neither party hereto
shall have any obligations to or rights against the other hereunder, except that
Seller shall be entitled to reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the
enforcement of its rights hereunder, and any agreements or provisions hereof
which are specifically provided herein to survive shall survive any cancellation
or termination of this Agreement. In the event Seller materially defaults under
this Contract, Purchaser may seek specific performance as its sole remedy.

      11. Access.

            11.1. Purchaser shall have reasonable access to the Premises upon
two (2) days' prior written or oral notice to Seller for the purpose of
conducting surveys, architectural, engineering, geotechnical and environmental
inspections and tests (including intrusive inspection and sampling which do not
materially interfere with the operation of the business conducted at the
Premises) and any other inspections, studies, or tests reasonably required by
Purchaser. Purchaser shall keep the Premises free and clear of any liens and
will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from all claims and liabilities
asserted against Seller as a result of any such entry by Purchaser, its agents,
employees or representatives. If any inspection or test disturbs the Premises,
Purchaser will restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as

                                       9

existed prior to any such inspection or test. Purchaser and its agents,
employees and representatives shall have a continuing right of reasonable access
to the Premises during the pendency of this Agreement for the purpose of
examining and making copies of all books and records and other materials
relating to the Premises in Seller's, or its property manger's, possession and
Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a "walk-through" of the Premises prior
to the Closing upon appropriate notice to tenant as permitted under the lease.
In the course of its investigations, Purchaser may make inquiries to third
parties, including, without limitation, the tenant or tenants, the property
manager, if any, and municipal, local and other government officials and
representatives, and Seller consents to such inquiries. The obligations of the
Purchaser under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

      12. Representations. Warranties and Covenants.

            12.1. Except as set forth in Section 12.2 hereof (a) Seller has not
made and does not make any representations or warranties as to the physical
condition, rents, leases, income, expenses, financing and/or tax status,
operations, zoning or legality of occupancy of the Premises, status of title or
any other matter or thing affecting or relating to the Premises, except as
herein specifically set forth, and Purchaser hereby expressly acknowledges and
represents that no such representations or warranties have been made and (b)
Purchaser further agrees to take the Premises "as is" in its present physical
condition and subject to reasonable use, wear, tear and normal depreciation
between the date hereof and the Closing Date. Seller shall not be liable or
bound in any way for any verbal or written statements, representations, or
information pertaining to the Premises furnished by any real estate broker or
agent thereof or any agent or employee of Seller, or any other person. It is
understood and agreed that all prior and contemporaneous representations,
statements, understandings and agreements, oral or written, between the parties
are merged in this Agreement, which alone fully and completely expresses their
Agreement, and that the same is entered into after full investigation, neither
party relying on any statement or representation or warranty not embodied in
this Agreement made by the other.

            12.2. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that, currently or
at the Closing Date:

                  (a) Seller has been duly organized, is validly existing, and
      is in good standing as a New York corporation. Seller has the full right
      and authority and has obtained any and all consents required to enter into
      this Agreement and to consummate or cause to be consummated the
      transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been, and all of the
      documents to be delivered by Seller at the Closing will be, duly
      authorized and properly executed and constitutes, or will constitute, as
      appropriate, the valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable in
      accordance with their terms;

                                       10

                  (b) To the best of Seller's knowledge, there is no agreement
      to which Seller is a party which would prohibit the execution of this
      Agreement and the performance of Seller's obligations. There is no action
      or proceeding pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened against Seller
      or relating to the Premises, including, without limitation, any
      condemnation proceedings, which challenges or impairs Seller's ability to
      execute or perform its obligations under this Agreement or which may
      adversely affect Purchaser upon its purchase of the Premises;

                  (c) All of Seller's contractors, subcontractors, suppliers,
      architects, engineers, brokers and others who have performed services or
      labor or have supplied materials in connection with Seller's development,
      ownership, or management of the Premises have been paid in full and all
      liens arising therefrom (or claims which with the passage of time or the
      giving of notice, or both, could mature into liens) have been satisfied
      and released;

                  (d) The Leases delivered to Purchaser are true, correct and
      complete copies of the Leases and all amendments and guarantees. There are
      no other Leases or other parties in occupancy at the Premises except for
      the tenant under the Leases and anyone taking by, through or under tenant.
      Seller has not received written notice and has no knowledge of any
      subletting or assignment by tenant. To Seller's knowledge, except as
      herein disclosed, no tenants have asserted nor are there any defenses or
      offsets to rent accruing after the Closing Date and no default or breach
      exists on the part of any tenant, except for (i) the payment or rent
      arrears in the aggregate amount of $20,700 for the months of September
      2005 through November 2005 and (ii) the payment of real estate taxes in
      the aggregate amount of $58,687.95 plus interest and penalties, if any;

                  (e) Simultaneously with the closing of the transaction
      contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the parties agree to arrange
      that the rent arrears and real estate taxes referenced in Section 12.2(d)
      above will be paid in full;

                  (f) Seller has received no written notice: (i) that the
      Premises or the use thereof violates any governmental law or regulation or
      any covenants or restrictions encumbering the Premises other than those
      set forth in Schedule B hereto; (ii) of any material physical defect in
      the Improvements; or (iii) from any insurance company or underwriter of
      any defect that would materially adversely affect the insurability of the
      Premises or cause an increase in insurance premiums;

                  (g) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.27 of the Stock Purchase
      Agreement, (i) the Seller is in compliance with all applicable
      Environmental Laws (capitalized terms used but not defined in this Section
      (g) have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Stock Purchase Agreement);
      (ii) the Seller has not transported from, stored or disposed of any
      Hazardous Materials from or upon the Premises in contravention of
      applicable Environmental Laws; (iii) there has not occurred, nor is there
      presently occurring, a Release of any Hazardous Materials on, into or

                                       11

      beneath the surface of the Premises except in compliance with applicable
      Environmental Laws; (iv) the Seller has not transported or disposed of, or
      allowed or arranged for any third parties to transport or dispose of, any
      Hazardous Material to or at a site which, pursuant to CERCLA, has been
      placed on the National Priorities List; (v) the Seller has not received
      written notice that it is a potentially responsible party for a federal or
      state environmental cleanup site or for corrective action under RCRA; and
      (vi) the Seller has not undertaken (or been requested to undertake) any
      response or remedial actions at the request of any federal, state or local
      governmental entity;

                  (h) Seller has no knowledge of any liens or encumbrances on
      the Premises other than the Leases and the matters set forth in Schedule B
      hereto;

                  (i) The certificate of occupancy included in the title report
      is the only certificate of occupancy for the Premises of which Seller has
      knowledge. Seller has not taken any actions to amend, modify or cancel
      such certificate of occupancy, nor has Seller taken any actions which
      would require Seller to obtain a certificate of occupancy for the
      Premises;

                  (j) Other than as set forth in Schedule 4.21 to the Stock
      Purchase Agreement, Seller is not a party, as of the date hereof, to any
      litigation or other action related to the Premises;

                  (k) There are no commissions owing to brokers in connection
      with any of the Leases;

                  (l) There are no security deposits payable under the Leases;
      and

                  (m) Seller is not a party to any service contract.

            12.3. Seller shall not amend, modify or restructure any of the
Leases.

            12.4. The representations and warranties of Seller contained herein
shall be deemed to be made at and as of the date hereof and as of the Closing
Date. If any of the material warranties and representations of Seller contained
herein shall on the Closing Date be untrue (other than those rendered inaccurate
by transactions, events or facts contemplated hereby), and if Purchaser shall be
unwilling to waive same and to close this transaction without abatement of the
Purchase Price or allowance of any kind, then Purchaser's sole remedy shall be
to terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days after discovering that same
was so untrue. In the event of such termination, this Agreement shall cease,
terminate and come to an end, and neither party hereto shall have any rights,
obligations or liabilities against or to the other, except that Purchaser shall
be entitled to the return of the Down Payment and except as set forth in Article
11, and any other provision of this Agreement which explicitly survives the
termination or cancellation hereof.

            12.5. In all cases in this Agreement where Seller represents that it
does not have "knowledge" of any thing, occurrence or events, the "knowledge" as
to which such representation is made shall be actual knowledge and not
constructive knowledge.

                                       12

            12.6. Purchaser's Representations and Warranties. As a material
inducement to Seller to execute this Agreement and consummate this transaction,
Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that:

                  (a) Purchaser has been duly organized and is validly existing
      as a corporation in good standing in the State of Delaware, and on the
      Closing Date will be qualified to do business in the state in which the
      Premises are located. Purchaser has the full right and authority and has
      obtained any and all consents required to enter into this Agreement and to
      consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions contemplated
      hereby. This Agreement has been, and all of the documents to be delivered
      by Purchaser at the Closing will be, authorized and properly executed and
      constitutes, or will constitute, as appropriate, the valid and binding
      obligation of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms; and

                  (b) Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that
      this Agreement has been duly authorized and executed on behalf of
      Purchaser, and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Purchaser,
      enforceable in accordance with its terms; and that neither the execution
      and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the sale provided
      for herein will constitute a violation or breach by Purchaser of any
      provision of any agreement or other instrument to which Purchaser is a
      party or to which Purchaser may be subject although not a party, or will
      result in or constitute a violation or breach of any judgment, order,
      writ, injunction or decree issued against Purchaser of which Purchaser has
      knowledge.

      13. Expenses.

            13.1. (a) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver a certified or
official bank check to the order of the recording officer of the county in which
the Deed is to be recorded for the amount of the documentary stamps to be
affixed thereto in accordance with Article 31 of the Tax Law of the State of New

a credit for such amount on account of the cash portion of the Purchaser Price
due at Closing.

                        (b) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver a certified or

return and check to be delivered to the appropriate official. At Seller's
option, Purchaser shall pay all of the same and receive a credit for such amount
on account of the cash portion of the Purchase Price due at Closing.

                        (c) Seller and Purchaser each hereby agree to defend and
indemnify the other from all costs and liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) for failure to make the foregoing payments
required pursuant to this Article at or following Closing. Such obligation and
indemnity shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.

                                       13

      14. Fire or Other Casualty; Condemnation.

            14.1. Seller agrees to maintain the property insurance policy or
policies in respect of the Premises, including fire and extended coverage and to
give Purchaser reasonably prompt notice of any fire or other casualty occurring
at the Premises of which Seller obtains knowledge, between the date hereof and
the date of the Closing, or of any actual or threatened in writing condemnation
of all or any party of the Premises of which Seller obtains knowledge.

            14.2. If prior to the Closing there shall occur damage to the
Premises caused by fire or other casualty which would (i) cost two hundred fifty
thousand ($250,000) dollars or more to repair, as reasonably determined by an
engineer selected by Seller and reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or (ii)
materially interfere with the operation of the Premises, then Purchaser may
elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within ten
(10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice referred to in Section
12.1 hereof, or at the Closing, whichever is earlier. If prior to the Closing
there shall be a taking by condemnation of any portion of the Premises then
Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to
Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice referred
to in Section 12.1 hereof, or at the Closing, whichever is earlier. If this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to either of the preceding sentences, Seller
shall promptly pay to Purchaser Purchaser's title and survey costs, if any, and
this Agreement shall thereupon be deemed terminated and of no further force or
effect, and neither party hereto shall thereupon have any further obligation to
the other, except that the provisions of Article 7 hereof shall survive such
termination. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then the
Closing shall take place as herein provided, without abatement of the Purchase
Price: provided, however, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any insurance
proceeds otherwise due Seller as a result of the damage to the Premises (whether
received before or after Closing) or the proceeds of any condemnation award to
the extent payable before or after the Closing, less any amounts (i) actually
and reasonably expended or incurred by the Seller in adjusting any insurance
claim or negotiating and/or obtaining any condemnation award (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and/or (ii) theretofore
actually and reasonably incurred or expended by or for the account of the Seller
for the cost of any restoration or emergency repairs made by or on behalf of
Seller, and Seller shall pay to Purchaser, or allow as a credit against the
Purchase Price, an amount equal to the net proceeds of such insurance proceeds
or condemnation award.

            14.3. Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this
Article, the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations and
liabilities hereunder, except with respect to the covenants and indemnities set
forth in Article 11 hereof and as otherwise expressly provided herein.

      15. Items to be Delivered at Closing.

            15.1. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser on the Closing Date
instruments, documents and agreements required by this Agreement and customarily
required by the Title Company to be delivered by Seller.

                                       14

            15.2. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller on the Closing Date all

obligation on the part of Seller hereunder to be performed. Any and all

administrators, successors and assigns of the respective parties. Purchaser may
not assign this Agreement or any payments made hereunder without the prior
written consent of Seller. This Agreement shall not be recorded by Purchaser and
any recordation or attempted recordation by Purchaser hereof shall be void and

and assumption agreement is furnished to Seller prior to Closing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, at the Closing, assign this
Agreement to an entity which simultaneously consummates the transaction
contemplated hereby; provided, however, that such assignment shall not relieve
Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

      19. Execution by Seller.

            19.1. It is expressly understood and agreed that this Agreement
shall not constitute an offer or create any rights in favor of Purchaser and
shall in no way oblige or be binding upon Seller, and this Agreement shall have
no force or effect, unless and until the same is duly executed by Seller and a
fully-executed counterpart of this Agreement is delivered by Seller to
Purchaser.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.6

      THIS CONTRACT OF SALE (the "Agreement") made as of November 7, 2005 by and
between KPK Realty Corp., a New York corporation, having an office at 245 East
63rd Street, Apt. 34D, New York, New York 10021 in c/o Mr. Nicholas Kemeny (the
"Seller") and Gales Industries, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, having an
office at 333 East 66th Street, New York, New York 10021 (the "Purchaser").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of that certain plot, piece or parcel of land
described in Exhibit A annexed hereto (the "Land") and all improvements thereon
erected, known as 1460 North Fifth Avenue and 1479 North Clinton Avenue, Bay
Shore, New York (collectively the "Improvements") (the Land and the Improvements
are hereinafter collectively called the "Premises"); and

      WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell and convey and Purchaser desires to
purchase the Premises;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein set forth,
Purchaser and Seller hereby agree as follows:

      1. Sale of Premises.

            1.1. On the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Seller
agrees to sell and Purchaser agrees to purchase the Premises.

            1.2. The sale also includes all right, title and interest, if any,
of Seller in and to all easements, rights of way, privileges, licenses,
appurtenances and other rights and benefits, if any, running with the Premises.

            1.3. All of Seller's right, title and interest, if any in fixtures,
equipment, furniture, furnishings, fitting or articles of personal property
located on and used or employed in connection with the Premises (collectively,
the "Fixtures") are included in this sale.

      2. Purchase Price.

            2.1. The purchase price of the Premises is Two Million Six Hundred
Ninety Thousand Dollars ($2,690,000) (the "Purchase Price") payable upon
delivery of the Deed (as hereinafter defined) on the Closing Date (as
hereinafter defined) by, at Seller's option, Purchaser's unendorsed certified
check, drawn on a bank which is a member of the New York City Clearinghouse
Association ("Acceptable Check") payable to the order of Seller (or as otherwise
directed by Seller) without intervening endorsement, or by wire transfer of
immediately available federal funds to an account in a bank in accordance with
wire transfer instructions furnished by Seller prior to the Closing Date, or by
(at Seller's option) a combination of both.

      3. State of Title.

            3.1. The Premises are to be sold and conveyed subject to those
exceptions to title set forth on Exhibit B ("Permitted Exceptions") and the
leases on Exhibit C which shall be assigned to Purchaser. The leases on Exhibit
C are referred to herein as the Leases (the "Leases"). Any exceptions to title
set forth in Exhibit B and the Leases may be omitted from the Deed but shall
nevertheless survive the delivery of the Deed.

            3.2. On the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser fee simple
title and Purchaser shall accept such title as a reputable title company
licensed to do business in the State of New York (the "Title Company") is
willing to approve and insure, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions set
forth in Exhibit B annexed hereto and to the standard printed exceptions in an
ALTA form of policy and to the Leases.

            3.3. The amount of unpaid taxes, assessments, water charges and
sewer rents, prorated through the Closing Date, which Seller is obligated to pay
and discharge, with the interest and penalties thereon to a date not less than
two (2) business days after the Closing Date, may at the option of Seller be
allowed to Purchaser out of the Purchase Price. If on the Closing Date there are
any other liens or encumbrances which Seller is obligated to pay or discharge in
order to convey to Purchaser such title as is herein provided to be conveyed,
Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided:

                  (a) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at the closing of title,
      instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such liens and
      encumbrances of record together with the monies sufficient, as determined
      by the Title Company, for the cost of recording or filing said
      instruments; or

                  (b) Seller, having made arrangements with the Title Company,
      shall deposit with said company sufficient monies acceptable to the Title
      Company to ensure the obtaining and the recording of such satisfactions.
      Purchaser, if request is made within a reasonable time prior to the
      Closing Date, agrees to provide at Closing separate wire transfer and/or
      Acceptable Checks as requested, aggregating the amount of the Purchase
      Price set forth in Article 2.1 hereof, to facilitate the satisfaction of
      any such liens or encumbrances. The existence of any such liens or
      encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title if Seller shall
      comply with the foregoing requirements and the Title Company shall agree
      to insure the Purchaser against collection of such liens and/or
      encumbrances, without additional cost to Purchaser.

            3.4. Purchaser agrees to make an application to Title Company
promptly after the execution of this Agreement for a full title search and
examination upon the Premises, and Purchaser further agrees that Purchaser will
cause to be delivered to Seller's counsel a copy of the title report and
examination of such Title Company. At least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled
Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the title re-examined by the Title Company
and shall deliver to Seller's counsel a copy of the Title Company's updated
title report with a notice of liens, encumbrances or other defects of title
subject to which Purchase is unwilling to accept title.

                                       2

            3.5. (a) Seller agrees to satisfy all mortgages on the Premises. Any
judgement, lien, encumbrance or objection to which Seller's title to the
Premises is subject on the Closing Date or any other valid ground which
Purchaser may then have for refusing to close this transaction other than (i)
mortgages (which Seller is obligated to satisfy), (ii) those Permitted
Exceptions subject to which Purchaser is obligated to accept title hereunder and
(iii) the Leases, are referred to herein as "Objectionable Liens." If on the
Closing Date Seller's title to the Premises is subject to any Objectionable
Liens and Purchaser shall be unwilling to waive the same and close Seller shall
have the right, at Seller's sole election to either: (a) take such action as
Seller shall deem advisable to remove, remedy or comply with such Objectionable
Liens and Seller is obligated to spend up to two hundred fifty thousand
($250,000) dollars (the "Maximum Expense") to remove, remedy or comply with such
Objectionable Liens except Seller shall not be obligated to commence any action
or proceeding to cure any such defect or to expend more than the Maximum Expense
to remove any Objectionable Liens, or (b) to cancel this Agreement, provided
that if Seller notifies Purchaser of its election to cancel this Agreement,
Purchaser shall have the right to waive such Objectionable Liens and to close
this transaction, in which event Purchaser shall be given a credit equal to the
reasonably estimated cost of removing, remedying or complying with such
Objectionable Liens, not to exceed $250,000, less such amount as Seller may have
spent in attempting to remove, remedy or comply with such Objectionable Liens.
In the event of Seller's election to take action to remove, remedy or comply
with such Objectionable Liens, Seller shall be entitled to one or more
adjournments of the Closing Date for one or more periods to a date not later
than the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2005, by and among Gales Industries,
Incorporated, Air Industries Machining, Corp., Luis Peragallo, Jorge Peragallo,
Peter Rettaliata and Dario Peragallo (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") as amended
or may be amended. If for any reason whatsoever Seller shall not have succeeded
in removing, remedying or complying with such Objectionable Liens at the
expiration of such adjournments, or at such time prior thereto as Seller
determines that it will not be able to satisfy same, Seller shall give Purchaser
notice thereof and Purchaser shall have five (5) business days from the delivery
of such notice in accordance with the terms hereof to elect by notice to Seller
to purchase the Premises subject to such Objectionable Liens with a credit as
provided above. If Purchaser shall still be unwilling to waive the same and to
close this transaction without abatement of the Purchase Price or allowance of
any kind other than as provided above, this Agreement shall be deemed to be
canceled. In the event of the cancellation of this Agreement under any of the
circumstances referred to and as provided in this Article 3.5, this Agreement
shall cease, terminate and come to an end, and (except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement), neither party hereto shall have any rights,
obligations or liabilities against or to the other, except that Purchaser shall
be entitled to reimbursement for the net amount charged Purchaser by the Title
Company for a title examination without issuance of a policy and the net cost to
Purchaser of a survey for the Premises (said reimbursable items are herein
referred to as "Purchaser's Title and Survey Costs"). In no event shall Seller
be required to, and nothing herein contained shall obligate Seller to, expend
any money in excess of two hundred fifty thousand ($250,000) dollars in the
aggregate or to bring any action or proceeding or otherwise incur any costs or
expenses to cure any purported defect or objection or to fulfill any condition
or to render or deliver title to the Premises to Purchaser as herein provided,
except as set forth in this Section.

                                       3

            (b) Other than as set forth in Schedule 4.27 to the Stock Purchase
Agreement, all notes or notices of violation of law or governmental advances,
orders or requirements which were noted or issued prior to the date of this
Agreement by any governmental department, agency or bureau having jurisdiction
as to conditions affecting the Premises and all liens which have attached to the
Premises prior to the date hereof shall be the obligations of Seller to remove.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reasonable cost of the removal of the
Objectionable Liens and violations, in the aggregate, exceeds two hundred fifty
thousand ($250,000) dollars less such amount as Seller may expend or credit to
Purchaser in respect of Objectionable Liens as provided in Section 3.5(a) (such
amount being referred to as the "Remainder"), then Seller shall have the right
to cancel this Agreement, provided that if Seller notifies Purchaser of its
election to cancel this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to waive such
violations and liens, and to close this transaction, in which event Purchaser
shall be given a credit equal to the Remainder.

      In no event shall the aggregate amount which Seller is obligated to expend
or credit to Purchaser in respect of Objectionable Liens pursuant to Section
3.5(a) and violations pursuant to this Section 3.5(b) exceed two hundred fifty
thousand ($250,000) dollars.

            3.6. Corporate franchise or business taxes owing to municipal,
county or state governments by any corporation in the chain of title of the
Premises, or any transfer, inheritance, estate, dissolution, license or similar
taxes, charges or liens not excepted in this Agreement, shall not constitute an
objection to title, and Purchaser shall take title subject to the same provided
that the Title Company will agree to affirmatively insure at no additional cost
to Purchaser that said taxes or other items will not be collected out of the
Premises.

      4. Adjustments.

            4.1. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
apportionments shall be made in accordance with the "Customs in Respect to Title
Closings" adopted by the Real Estate Board of New York, Inc. The following are
to be apportioned as of midnight of the day immediately prior to the Closing
Date:

                  (a) real estate taxes, on the basis of the fiscal tax year for
      which assessed;

                  (b) water and sewer rents and/or charges on the basis of the
      fiscal year for which assessed;

                  (c) water meter and sewer rent meter charges in accordance
      with the amounts fixed with respect thereto in a meter reading made as of
      a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, except
      that if such reading cannot with reasonable efforts be obtained by such
      date, then the unfixed water meter and sewer charges, if any, for any
      intervening period shall be apportioned on the basis of the last reading
      therefor;

                  (d) rents and additional rents under the Leases and interest,
      if any, payable in respect of the deposits under the Leases which are
      delivered to Purchaser;

                                       4

                  (e) utilities;

                  (f) charges payable under transferable Service Contracts, if
      any; and

                  (g) fuel, if any, to the extent not payable by tenants under
      the Leases.

            4.2. If the Closing shall occur before a tax rate is fixed, the
apportionment of taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the next
preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation and the parties shall
adjust post-closing upon receipt of the tax bill.

            4.3. If, on the Closing Date, the Premises or any part thereof shall
be or shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments which are or may
become payable in annual installments, of which the first installment is then a
charge or lien, or has been paid, then for the purpose of this Agreement all the
unpaid installments of any such assessment, including those which are to become
due and payable after the Closing Date, shall be payable by Seller. If the first
installment shall be due following the Closing then Purchaser shall assume the
entire obligation without abatement.

            4.4. In the event the apportionments as provided in this Article,
when computed result in a payment due Seller, then such payment shall be made at
the Closing by Acceptable Check. If such apportionment results in a credit to
Purchaser, the cash portion of the Purchase Price due at Closing shall be
reduced by the amount of such credit.

            4.5. As to any rent arrears for periods preceding the Closing, and
any amounts paid by the Tenants under the Leases in respect of water and sewer
rents and charges, water meter and sewer rent meter charges, utilities and real
estate and vault taxes, accruing prior to the Closing, provided the applicable
Tenant is otherwise current in respect of all amounts due under its Lease,
Purchaser shall receive the same as a trust fund for remission to Seller in
payment of the Tenants' arrears, provided Purchaser shall have no obligation to
seek to collect the same on behalf of Seller. The provisions of this Article
shall survive the Closing.

      5. The Deed - Deliveries at Closing

            5.1. The deed to be delivered by Seller shall be the usual statutory
bargain and sale deed with covenants against grantor's acts (herein called the
"Deed") in proper statutory short form for recording and shall be duly executed
and acknowledged so as to convey to Purchaser the fee simple title of the
Premises free of all encumbrances except as stated in this Agreement, which Deed
shall contain the covenant required by subdivision 5, Section 13 of the New York
State Lien Law.

            5.2. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the following
documentation:

                  (a) a certification of non-foreign status, in form required by
      the Internal Revenue Code Section 1445 and regulations issued thereunder,
      signed under penalty of perjury. Seller understands that such
      certifications will be retained by Purchaser and will be made available to

      records relating to the Premises and maintained by Seller during Seller's
      ownership thereof; and

                  (i) such additional documentation as may be reasonably
      required to consummate the transaction contemplated by this contract.

            5.3. At the Closing, Seller shall also deliver to Purchaser the
following:

                  (a) If required pursuant to New York State Business
      Corporation Law, Section 909, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser: (i) a
      resolution of its board of directors authorizing the delivery of the Deed
      and (ii) a certificate executed by an officer of such corporation
      certifying as to the adoption of such resolution and setting forth facts
      demonstrating that the delivery of the Deed is in conformity with the
      requirements of said Section 909. The Deed shall also contain a recital
      sufficient to establish compliance with such law.

                  (b) Such affidavits and/or other evidence of
      non-applicability, if appropriate, as the Title Company shall reasonably
      require in order to omit from its title insurance policy all exceptions
      for judgments, bankruptcies or other returns against Seller and person or
      entities whose names are the same as or are similar to Seller's name.

                                       6

            5.4. At the Closing, Purchaser shall:

      apportionments;

                  (b) deliver to Seller an assumption of the Leases assigned by
      Seller to Purchaser together with an agreement indemnifying and agreeing
      to defend Seller against any claims made by Tenants with respect to the
      Leases and the Tenant's security deposits to the extent paid, credited or
      assigned to Purchaser;

                  (c) cause the Deed to be recorded, duly complete all required

      be delivered by Purchaser.

      6. Time and Place of Closing.

            6.1. The Closing of the purchase and sale of the Premises (the
"Closing"), at which the Deed shall be delivered upon the receipt of the
Purchase Price, and all other payments and any documents required to be

The attorneys for Seller and Purchaser shall have the right to deliver notices
under this Agreement and to adjourn or reschedule the Closing Date in writing
only.

      10. Damages.

            10.1. In the event of a default by Purchaser in performing any
material obligation on Purchaser's part to be performed hereunder, including
without limitation, to pay the Purchase Price as provided in this Agreement or
in any other provision hereof which would entitle Seller to cancel this
Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void and neither party hereto
shall have any obligations to or rights against the other hereunder, except that
Seller shall be entitled to reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the
enforcement of its rights hereunder, and any agreements or provisions hereof
which are specifically provided herein to survive shall survive any cancellation
or termination of this Agreement. In the event Seller materially defaults under
this Contract, Purchaser may seek specific performance as its sole remedy.

      11. Access.

            11.1. Purchaser shall have reasonable access to the Premises upon
two (2) days' prior written or oral notice to Seller for the purpose of
conducting surveys, architectural, engineering, geotechnical and environmental
inspections and tests (including intrusive inspection and sampling which do not
materially interfere with the operation of the business conducted at the
Premises) and any other inspections, studies, or tests reasonably required by

                                       9

Purchaser. Purchaser shall keep the Premises free and clear of any liens and
will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from all claims and liabilities
asserted against Seller as a result of any such entry by Purchaser, its agents,
employees or representatives. If any inspection or test disturbs the Premises,
Purchaser will restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as
existed prior to any such inspection or test. Purchaser and its agents,
employees and representatives shall have a continuing right of reasonable access
to the Premises during the pendency of this Agreement for the purpose of
examining and making copies of all books and records and other materials
relating to the Premises in Seller's, or its property manger's, possession and
Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a "walk-through" of the Premises prior
to the Closing upon appropriate notice to tenant as permitted under the lease.
In the course of its investigations, Purchaser may make inquiries to third
parties, including, without limitation, the tenant or tenants, the property
manager, if any, and municipal, local and other government officials and
representatives, and Seller consents to such inquiries. The obligations of the
Purchaser under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

      12. Representations. Warranties and Covenants.

            12.1. Except as set forth in Section 12.2 hereof (a) Seller has not
made and does not make any representations or warranties as to the physical
condition, rents, leases, income, expenses, financing and/or tax status,
operations, zoning or legality of occupancy of the Premises, status of title or
any other matter or thing affecting or relating to the Premises, except as
herein specifically set forth, and Purchaser hereby expressly acknowledges and
represents that no such representations or warranties have been made and (b)
Purchaser further agrees to take the Premises "as is" in its present physical
condition and subject to reasonable use, wear, tear and normal depreciation
between the date hereof and the Closing Date. Seller shall not be liable or
bound in any way for any verbal or written statements, representations, or
information pertaining to the Premises furnished by any real estate broker or
agent thereof or any agent or employee of Seller, or any other person. It is
understood and agreed that all prior and contemporaneous representations,
statements, understandings and agreements, oral or written, between the parties
are merged in this Agreement, which alone fully and completely expresses their
Agreement, and that the same is entered into after full investigation, neither
party relying on any statement or representation or warranty not embodied in
this Agreement made by the other.

            12.2. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that, currently or
at the Closing Date:

                  (a) Seller has been duly organized, is validly existing, and
      is in good standing as a New York corporation. Seller has the full right
      and authority and has obtained any and all consents required to enter into
      this Agreement and to consummate or cause to be consummated the
      transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been, and all of the
      documents to be delivered by Seller at the Closing will be, duly
      authorized and properly executed and constitutes, or will constitute, as
      appropriate, the valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable in
      accordance with their terms;

                                       10

                  (b) To the best of Seller's knowledge, there is no agreement
      to which Seller is a party which would prohibit the execution of this
      Agreement and the performance of Seller's obligations. There is no action
      or proceeding pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened against Seller
      or relating to the Premises, including, without limitation, any
      condemnation proceedings, which challenges or impairs Seller's ability to
      execute or perform its obligations under this Agreement or which may
      adversely affect Purchaser upon its purchase of the Premises;

                  (c) All of Seller's contractors, subcontractors, suppliers,
      architects, engineers, brokers and others who have performed services or
      labor or have supplied materials in connection with Seller's development,
      ownership, or management of the Premises have been paid in full and all
      liens arising therefrom (or claims which with the passage of time or the
      giving of notice, or both, could mature into liens) have been satisfied
      and released;

                  (d) The Leases delivered to Purchaser are true, correct and
      complete copies of the Leases and all amendments and guarantees. There are
      no other Leases or other parties in occupancy at the Premises except for
      the tenant under the Leases and anyone taking by, through or under tenant.
      Seller has not received written notice and has no knowledge of any
      subletting or assignment by tenant. To Seller's knowledge, except as
      herein disclosed, no tenants have asserted nor are there any defenses or
      offsets to rent accruing after the Closing Date and no default or breach
      exists on the part of any tenant, except for (i) the payment of rent
      arrears in the aggregate amount of $215,419.75 for the months of February
      2005 through November 2005 and (ii) the payment of real estate taxes in
      the aggregate amount of $96,070.50 plus interest and penalties, if any;

                  (e) Simultaneously with the closing of the transaction
      contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the parties agree to arrange
      that the rent arrears and real estate taxes referenced in Section 12.2(d)
      above will be paid in full, provided, however, that the Purchaser shall
      only be responsible for payment of the rent arrears in excess of $50,000;

                  (f) Seller has received no written notice: (i) that the
      Premises or the use thereof violates any governmental law or regulation or
      any covenants or restrictions encumbering the Premises other than those
      set forth in Schedule B hereto; (ii) of any material physical defect in
      the Improvements; or (iii) from any insurance company or underwriter of
      any defect that would materially adversely affect the insurability of the
      Premises or cause an increase in insurance premiums;

                  (g) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.27 of the Stock Purchase
      Agreement, (i) the Seller is in compliance with all applicable
      Environmental Laws (capitalized terms used but not defined in this Section
      (g) have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Stock Purchase Agreement);
      (ii) the Seller has not transported from, stored or disposed of any
      Hazardous Materials from or upon the Premises in contravention of
      applicable Environmental Laws; (iii) there has not occurred, nor is there
      presently occurring, a Release of any Hazardous Materials on, into or

                                       11

      beneath the surface of the Premises except in compliance with applicable
      Environmental Laws; (iv) the Seller has not transported or disposed of, or
      allowed or arranged for any third parties to transport or dispose of, any
      Hazardous Material to or at a site which, pursuant to CERCLA, has been
      placed on the National Priorities List; (v) the Seller has not received
      written notice that it is a potentially responsible party for a federal or
      state environmental cleanup site or for corrective action under RCRA; and
      (vi) the Seller has not undertaken (or been requested to undertake) any
      response or remedial actions at the request of any federal, state or local
      governmental entity;

                  (h) Seller has no knowledge of any liens or encumbrances on
      the Premises other than the Leases and the matters set forth in Schedule B
      hereto;

                  (i) The certificate of occupancy included in the title report
      is the only certificate of occupancy for the Premises of which Seller has
      knowledge. Seller has not taken any actions to amend, modify or cancel
      such certificate of occupancy, nor has Seller taken any actions which
      would require Seller to obtain a certificate of occupancy for the
      Premises;

                  (j) Other than as set forth in Schedule 4.21 to the Stock
      Purchase Agreement, Seller is not a party, as of the date hereof, to any
      litigation or other action related to the Premises;

                  (k) There are no commissions owing to brokers in connection
      with any of the Leases;

                  (l) There are no security deposits payable under the Leases;
      and

                  (m) Seller is not a party to any service contract.

            12.3. Seller shall not amend, modify or restructure any of the
Leases.

            12.4. The representations and warranties of Seller contained herein
shall be deemed to be made at and as of the date hereof and as of the Closing
Date. If any of the material warranties and representations of Seller contained
herein shall on the Closing Date be untrue (other than those rendered inaccurate
by transactions, events or facts contemplated hereby), and if Purchaser shall be
unwilling to waive same and to close this transaction without abatement of the
Purchase Price or allowance of any kind, then Purchaser's sole remedy shall be
to terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days after discovering that same
was so untrue. In the event of such termination, this Agreement shall cease,
terminate and come to an end, and neither party hereto shall have any rights,
obligations or liabilities against or to the other, except that Purchaser shall
be entitled to the return of the Down Payment and except as set forth in Article
11, and any other provision of this Agreement which explicitly survives the
termination or cancellation hereof.

            12.5. In all cases in this Agreement where Seller represents that it
does not have "knowledge" of any thing, occurrence or events, the "knowledge" as
to which such representation is made shall be actual knowledge and not
constructive knowledge.

                                       12

            12.6. Purchaser's Representations and Warranties. As a material
inducement to Seller to execute this Agreement and consummate this transaction,
Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that:

                  (a) Purchaser has been duly organized and is validly existing
      as a corporation in good standing in the State of Delaware, and on the
      Closing Date will be qualified to do business in the state in which the
      Premises are located. Purchaser has the full right and authority and has
      obtained any and all consents required to enter into this Agreement and to
      consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions contemplated
      hereby. This Agreement has been, and all of the documents to be delivered
      by Purchaser at the Closing will be, authorized and properly executed and
      constitutes, or will constitute, as appropriate, the valid and binding
      obligation of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms; and

                  (b) Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that
      this Agreement has been duly authorized and executed on behalf of
      Purchaser, and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Purchaser,
      enforceable in accordance with its terms; and that neither the execution
      and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the sale provided
      for herein will constitute a violation or breach by Purchaser of any
      provision of any agreement or other instrument to which Purchaser is a
      party or to which Purchaser may be subject although not a party, or will
      result in or constitute a violation or breach of any judgment, order,
      writ, injunction or decree issued against Purchaser of which Purchaser has
      knowledge.

      13. Expenses.

            13.1. (a) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver a certified or
official bank check to the order of the recording officer of the county in which
the Deed is to be recorded for the amount of the documentary stamps to be
affixed thereto in accordance with Article 31 of the Tax Law of the State of New
York. At Seller's option, Purchaser shall pay all of the same and shall receive
a credit for such amount on account of the cash portion of the Purchaser Price
due at Closing.

                  (b) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver a certified or
official bank check to the order of the appropriate officers in payment of the
applicable real property transfer taxes together with the NY State TP 584
required by the applicable regulations duly signed and sworn to by Seller.
Purchaser agrees to duly execute said return, have duly sworn, and to cause said
return and check to be delivered to the appropriate official. At Seller's
option, Purchaser shall pay all of the same and receive a credit for such amount
on account of the cash portion of the Purchase Price due at Closing.

                  (c) Seller and Purchaser each hereby agree to defend and
indemnify the other from all costs and liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) for failure to make the foregoing payments
required pursuant to this Article at or following Closing. Such obligation and
indemnity shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.

                                       13

      14. Fire or Other Casualty; Condemnation.

            14.1. Seller agrees to maintain the property insurance policy or
policies in respect of the Premises, including fire and extended coverage and to
give Purchaser reasonably prompt notice of any fire or other casualty occurring
at the Premises of which Seller obtains knowledge, between the date hereof and
the date of the Closing, or of any actual or threatened in writing condemnation
of all or any party of the Premises of which Seller obtains knowledge.

            14.2. If prior to the Closing there shall occur damage to the
Premises caused by fire or other casualty which would (i) cost two hundred fifty
thousand ($250,000) dollars or more to repair, as reasonably determined by an
engineer selected by Seller and reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or (ii)
materially interfere with the operation of the Premises, then Purchaser may
elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within ten
(10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice referred to in Section
12.1 hereof, or at the Closing, whichever is earlier. If prior to the Closing
there shall be a taking by condemnation of any portion of the Premises then
Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to
Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice referred
to in Section 12.1 hereof, or at the Closing, whichever is earlier. If this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to either of the preceding sentences, Seller
shall promptly pay to Purchaser Purchaser's title and survey costs, if any, and
this Agreement shall thereupon be deemed terminated and of no further force or
effect, and neither party hereto shall thereupon have any further obligation to
the other, except that the provisions of Article 7 hereof shall survive such

Closing shall take place as herein provided, without abatement of the Purchase
Price: provided, however, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any insurance
proceeds otherwise due Seller as a result of the damage to the Premises (whether
received before or after Closing) or the proceeds of any condemnation award to
the extent payable before or after the Closing, less any amounts (i) actually
and reasonably expended or incurred by the Seller in adjusting any insurance
claim or negotiating and/or obtaining any condemnation award (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and/or (ii) theretofore
actually and reasonably incurred or expended by or for the account of the Seller
for the cost of any restoration or emergency repairs made by or on behalf of

Purchase Price, an amount equal to the net proceeds of such insurance proceeds
or condemnation award.

Article, the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations and
liabilities hereunder, except with respect to the covenants and indemnities set

and assumption agreement is furnished to Seller prior to Closing.

shall not constitute an offer or create any rights in favor of Purchaser and

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of the
26th day of September, 2005, by and among Gales Industries Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company") and Michael A. Gales, a resident of the
State of New York ("Executive"). The Company is sometimes referred to herein as
the "Employer".

      WHEREAS, the Employer wishes to employ Executive on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Executive wishes to be retained and
employed by the Employer on such terms and conditions.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective
undertakings of the Employer and Executive set forth below, the Employer and
Executive hereby agree as follows:

      1. Employment. The Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby
accepts such employment and agrees to perform services for the Employer, for the
period and on the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

      2. Term. Unless terminated at an earlier date in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement, the initial term of Executive's
employment hereunder shall be a period of five (5) years commencing on the
effective date (the "Effective Date") of the Company's acquisition of the shares
of Air Industries Machining, Corp. (the "Initial Term"). This Agreement shall be
automatically extended for successive three (3) one year periods (each, a
"Renewal Term", and together with the Initial Term, the "Term") unless (i)
Executive objects to such extension by no less than ninety (90) days' prior
written notice to the Company at any time prior to the expiration of the Initial
Term or a Renewal Term, as the case may be, or (ii) this Agreement is terminated
at an earlier date in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.

      3. Position and Duties.

            3.01 Service with the Employer. The Employer hereby employs
Executive in an executive capacity during the Term initially with the title of
Executive Chairman of the Company, and Executive hereby accepts such employment
and undertakes and agrees to serve in such capacities during the Term. In
addition, the Company agrees to cause Executive to be elected as a member and
Chairman of the Management and Executive Committees of the Company and as a
member of the Board of Directors of the Company. In such capacities, Executive
shall have such powers, perform such duties and fulfill such responsibilities
typically associated with such positions in other publicly held companies, and
Executive will have overall responsibility for all policies pertaining to the
management of the Company.

            3.02 Performance of Duties. Executive agrees to serve Employer to
the best of his ability and to devote his full time, attention and efforts to
the business and affairs of the Employer during the Term. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive shall not be precluded from accepting service as a director
of other businesses or community organizations or from the management of his
investments, provided, however, that any such business shall not be competitive
with the Company and such service shall not detract from Executive's performance
or time commitment hereunder. Executive shall report directly to the Board of
Directors of the Company.

            3.03 Key-man Life Insurance. Should the Company determine to obtain
key-man life insurance payable to the Company in the event of the death of
Executive, Executive agrees to cooperate with such effort.

                                       2

      4. Compensation.

            4.01 Base Salary. As base compensation for all services to be
rendered by Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Executive
an annual base salary, which annual base salary shall be $250,000 per year for
the initial twelve-month period of the Term (as adjusted pursuant to this
Section 4.01, the "Base Salary"), which Base Salary shall be paid on a weekly
basis in accordance with the Company's normal payroll procedures and policies,
subject to applicable deductions as required by law. The amount of the
Executive's Base Salary (a) shall be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors
of the Company, (b) shall be increased annually from the amount of the Base
Salary paid to Executive during the prior twelve-month period (each, a "Prior
Period") of the Term on the basis, inter alia, of the profitability and
performance of the Company, on a consolidated basis, during such Prior Period
(as compared to the profitability and performance of the Company, on a
consolidated basis, during the twelve-month period prior to such Prior Period),
which increase shall in no event be less than ten percent (10%) of the amount of
the Base Salary paid to Executive during such Prior Period, provided that
Operating Profits during such Prior Period are at least five percent (5%)
greater than the Operating Profits during the twelve-month period prior to such
Prior Period and (c) shall under no circumstance be reduced from the amount of
the Base Salary paid to Executive during the applicable Prior Period. "Operating
Profits" means the consolidated net income during the applicable period, as
reported on the Company's consolidated financial statements, plus current
interest expense, noncash expenses related to any employee stock ownership plan
established by the Company, provisions for taxes based on income, any
extraordinary losses for such period, minus any extraordinary gains for such
period, but without adjustment for any noncash income or noncash charges which
are classified as such under generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (other than noncash expenses related to any employee stock
ownership plan established by the Company).

                                       3

            4.02 Annual Bonus. In addition to Base Salary, the Company shall pay
to Executive an annual bonus. The amount of the annual bonus to be paid to
Executive with respect to any twelve-month period during the Term shall be
determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, provided,
however, that the amount of such annual bonus shall be reasonably predicated on
Executive's performance and the achievement by the Company of its operating
targets as set forth in the applicable budget adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Company in consultation with Executive; provided, further, that in no
event shall the amount of the such annual bonus be less than fifty percent (50%)
of Base Salary paid to Executive during the twelve-month period in which the
annual bonus is paid. In addition, Executive shall participate in all other
bonus programs that Employer may adopt from time to time in which senior
employees are entitled to participate.

            4.03 Participation in Benefit Plans. (a) The Company will either
pay, or reimburse Executive, for the amount of the premiums due for a long-term
disability and homecare policy providing benefits of no less than one-half of
Executive's salary until age 70 with respect to Executive and a life insurance
policy on the life of Executive. Such life insurance policy will pay Executive's
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries no less than three times the amount of
the Base Salary that was being paid to Executive at the time of his death. In
addition, Executive shall also be entitled to participate in all employee
benefit plans or programs offered to senior employees of Employer (to the extent
that Executive meets the requirements for each such plan or program), including
without limitation participation in any health, disability, dental, eye care,
401(k), deferred compensation and other similar plans (together with the life
insurance and disability policies, "Benefits"), as such plans and programs may
be or have been adopted from time to time.

                                       4

            (b) Employer intends to implement a plan relating to future
acquisitions of other businesses, pursuant to which a portion of a corporate
overhead charge implemented in connection with each acquisition will be
allocated in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors to compensation for
executive-level employees of the Company. Upon adoption of such plan, it shall
provide that Executive will be entitled to no less than 30% of the portion of
the corporate overhead charged allocated to executive-level compensation with
respect to each such acquisition consummated at any time during the period from
the date of adoption of such plan until the date on which the Employer's
obligations to pay Benefits has terminated pursuant to Section 6.02.

            4.04 Automobile and Other Expenses. The Company will pay to
Executive no less than $1,000 per month (adjusted annually for inflation, as
determined by the Company's Board of Directors) during the Term as reimbursement
for business-related operating expenses for an automobile to be used by
Executive, including without limitation automobile lease payments, insurance,
service and repairs in the ordinary course. In addition, the Company shall pay
or reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him
in the performance of his duties under this Agreement, subject to the
presentment and approval of appropriate itemized expense statements, receipts,
vouchers or other supporting documentation in accordance with the Company's
normal policies.

            4.05 Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to no less paid vacation
than other senior employees of the Company receive pursuant to the Company's
standard vacation policies, provided, however, that Executive shall be entitled
to no less than six (6) weeks of paid vacation during each twelve (12) month
period during the Term.

                                       5

            4.06 Stock Options and Other Incentive Compensation. To further the
attainment of the Company's long-term profit and growth objectives, the Company
hereby grants Executive, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
options to purchase such number of shares of common stock of the Company as will
convert into 1,250,000 shares of common stock (the "Common Stock") of the public
entity with which the Company merges upon acquisition of Air Industries
Machining, Corp. The exercise price of 250,000 of such options shall be
twenty-two cents and the exercise price of the remaining options shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of the Option Agreement being
delivered simultaneously herewith. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to
participate in all other stock option, revenue sharing, profit sharing,
long-term accumulation and/or stock based plans or programs that the Company may
adopt from time to time. For purposes of any Common Stock options or other
similar programs to be granted hereunder, such Common Stock and rights shall be
defined to include the Common Stock of any successor corporation or other entity
into which the Company is merged, or which acquires substantially all the assets
of the Company.

      5. Additional Covenants.

            5.01 Acknowledgments and Stipulations. Executive acknowledges that
he is agreeing to the covenants set forth in this Section 5 (a) in consideration
of the substantial economic benefits derived by Executive under the terms of
this Agreement, (b) in recognition that the services rendered by Executive to
Employer will be unique, as are Executive's abilities, skills and experience,
(c) in recognition that, as a result of his employment, Executive will acquire
and participate in the creation of knowledge and information of a confidential

                                       6

            and/or proprietary nature relating to the business of the Company
and its affiliates, which is valuable to the Company because the Company will
expend substantial time, effort and money to develop such knowledge and
information, (d) to induce Employer to employ Executive and disclose certain of
such information to Executive, and (e) to induce Employer to enter into this
Agreement.

            5.02 Nonsolicitation of Customers and Executives. At all times
during the term of Executive's employment with the Employer and for a period of
twelve (12) months following the termination of such employment pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(f) hereto, (a) Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person,
solicit or attempt to solicit the business or patronage of, or interfere with

                                       7

the business relationship of the Employer with any customer of the Employer, and
(b) Executive shall not directly or indirectly cause any other person to employ,
solicit, disturb, entice away, or in any other manner persuade any employee of
the Employer or its affiliates to discontinue or alter his or her relationship
with the Employer.

            5.03 Noncompetition. At all times during the term of Executive's
employment with the Employer and for a period of twelve (12) months following
the termination of such employment for any reason other than a termination of
this Agreement by the Company without cause, Executive whether individually, as
a director, manager, member, stockholder, partner, owner, employee, consultant
or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, shall not engage, directly
or indirectly through any other person, in any business, enterprise or
employment which competes with the business of the Employer. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the business of the Employer is of a worldwide
nature and that any geographic limitation on the foregoing covenant would be
ineffective to adequately protect the interests of the Employer. Executive
further acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing covenant is an integral part
of his agreement to be employed hereunder, is fair and reasonable in light of
all of the facts and circumstances of the relationship between Executive and the
Employer. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction determines that,
notwithstanding the foregoing acknowledgments, the scope of the restricted
activities of the foregoing covenant is excessive or not enforceable, or that
the foregoing covenant is not enforceable unless it is subject to a geographic
limitation, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect the maximum
restrictions on activities and geographic scope allowable pursuant to such
court's determination. Nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall be construed
as limiting the scope of this Section 5.

            5.04 Limitation on Covenant not to Compete. Ownership by Executive,
as a passive investment, of less than two percent (2.00%) of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of any corporation, with a cost basis to Executive of
less than $250,000, listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded
in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.

            5.05 Confidential Information. Executive agrees that during and
after the period of his employment, he will not, without the authorization of
the Company, divulge, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other
than as necessary or desirable for the business of the Employer pursuant to his
responsibilities to the Employer during the Term, any information of a
confidential nature pertaining in any way to the Employer's business, products,
practices, techniques, customers, suppliers, functions or operations (the
"Confidential Information"), except to the extent that such Confidential
Information (a) was disclosed to Executive by a third party who did not obtain
the same directly or indirectly from the Company or one of its affiliates, (b)
was known by Executive prior to disclosure by the Employer, (c) at or after the
time of disclosure, is or becomes generally available to the public (other than
as a result of its disclosure by Executive), (d) is required to be disclosed by
Executive pursuant to applicable law or an order of a governing authority
applicable to Executive.

      6. Termination.

            6.01 Grounds for Termination. This Agreement shall terminate prior
to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term upon the occurrence of
any of the following events at any time during such Initial Term or Renewal
Term:

                  (a) The effective date of Executive's voluntary resignation,
for which Executive agrees to give at least 30 days' prior written notice to the
Company;

                  (b) Executive's death;

                  (c) Executive's Disability (as hereinafter defined);

                  (d) Executive elects to terminate his employment 30 or more
days after Executive gives the Company written notice of his intent to terminate
his employment ("Notice of Good Reason") for any of the following reasons (each,
a "Good Reason"), provided that the Company has not eliminated the circumstances
constituting Good Reason prior to the effective date of such resignation: (1) a
material adverse alteration in the nature or status of Executive's title, duties
or responsibilities; (2) a material adverse reduction in Executive's Base Salary
and Benefits (excluding contingent salary and bonuses); (3) a requirement that
Executive be based at a work location more than 50 miles from the current site
of Employer (unless such new work location is closer to Executive's residence
than the current site is); (4) the failure by the Company to pay to Executive
any portion of Executive's compensation then due and payable; or (5) any failure
by Employer to comply with the material provisions of this Agreement. The Notice
of Good Reason shall indicate the specific provision above that Executive is
relying upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Good Reason under the provision so
indicated;

                                       9

                  (e) Executive's termination by Employer without Cause (as
hereinafter defined);

                  (f) Executive's termination by Employer for Cause. For the
purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means, as determined by the Board (or its
designee), with respect to conduct during the Executive's employment or service
relationship with the Company or its affiliates, whether or not committed during
the Term, (i) commission of a felony by Executive; (ii) acts of dishonesty by
Executive resulting or intending to result in personal gain or enrichment at the
expense of the Company or its subsidiaries; (iii) conduct by Executive in
connection with his duties hereunder that is fraudulent, unlawful or grossly
negligent, including, but not limited to, acts of discrimination (provided
reasonable grounds of such harassment or discrimination are established); (iv)
engaging in personal conduct by Executive (including but not limited to employee
harassment or discrimination (provided reasonable grounds of such harassment or
discrimination are established), the use or possession at work of any illegal
controlled substance) which seriously discredits or damages the Company or its
subsidiaries; and (v) breach of the Executive's covenants set forth in Section 5
before termination of employment; provided, that, the Executive shall have
fifteen (15) days after notice from the Company to cure the deficiency leading
to the Cause determination (except with respect to (i) above), if curable. A
termination for "Cause" shall be effective immediately or on such later date set
forth by the Company in the notice of termination.

            6.02 Severance. If Executive's employment is terminated:

            (a) as a result of Section 6.01(f), then the Company shall pay to
Executive his full Base Salary, bonuses for the calendar year (or employment
period) prior to the year (or employment period) in which such termination
occurs and Benefits prorated through the effective date of such termination, and
Executive shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred by him pursuant to
Section 4.04 through the termination date; or

            (b) as a result of Section 6.01(b), 6.01(c), 6.01(d) or 6.01(e),
then the Company shall pay to Executive or Executive's estate (1) his full Base
Salary, bonuses for the calendar year (or employment period) prior to the year
(or employment period) in which such termination occurs, pro-rated bonuses for
the current year (or period) and Benefits prorated through the effective date of
such termination and (2) additional Base Salary, payable in monthly
installments, plus additional Benefits, for the period from the effective date
of such termination until the later of (i) one year after the effective date of
such termination and (ii) the date on which the then-current Initial Term or
Renewal Term, as the case may be, would have expired (provided, however, if
participation by Executive in any Benefit plan or program after the termination
of his employment is not permitted under such plan or program, then the Company
will provide him with the equivalent benefits); Executive shall be reimbursed
for any expenses incurred by him pursuant to Section 4.04 through the effective
date of such termination; Executive shall be paid $700 per month (or a prorated
portion thereof) for the automobile to be used by Executive from the effective
date of such termination until the later of (i) one year after the effective
date of such termination and (ii) the date on which the then-current Initial
Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, would have expired; and all stock
options granted to Executive shall immediately vest and be exercisable as of,
and for a period of twelve months after, the effective date of such termination.

            6.03 "Disability" Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Disability" means any mental or physical condition that results in the
Executive becoming unable to perform the essential functions of his position,
with reasonable accommodation, for a period of at least ninety (90) days. The
Executive shall be deemed to have a Disability at the end of such ninety (90)
day period.

                                       11

            6.04 Surrender of Records and Property. Upon termination of
Executive's employment by Executive or by the Company, for any reason or for no
reason, Executive shall deliver promptly to the Company all records, manuals,
books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports,
data, tables, and calculations, and copies thereof, in whatever medium, which
are the property of Employer or which relate in any way to the business,
products, practices, techniques, customers, suppliers, functions or operations
of Employer, and all other property and Confidential Information of Employer,
including, but not limited to, all documents which in whole or in part contain
any Confidential Information of Employer, which in any of these cases are in his
possession or under his control.

            6.05 Resignation. If the Executive's employment is terminated for
any reason under the terms of this Agreement, he shall be deemed to resign (i)
if a member, from the Board of Directors of the Company and any subsidiary of
the Company or any other board to which he has been appointed or nominated by or
on behalf of the Company and (ii) from any position with the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, including, but not limited to, as an officer of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries.

            6.05 Successor. The Company, or any Person which controls the
Company, shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
or assets of the Company by written agreement expressly to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company
would be required to perform if no such succession had occurred. Failure of the
Company or a controlling entity to obtain such written agreement prior to the
effective date of any such succession followed by the failure of the successor

                                       12

      to honor this Agreement shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall
entitle Executive to the rights and benefits hereunder as though he had
terminated his employment with Employer for Good Reason, whether or not he
terminates his employment with Employer.

            7. Injunctive Relief; Arbitration.

            7.01 Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees that (i) any breach or
threatened breach of Sections 5 or 6.04 shall be a material breach of this
Agreement, (ii) such breach will cause substantial harm to Employer and/or its
customers, the amount of which will be difficult to determine and compute, (iii)
the remedies of Employer at law for such breach would be inadequate to fully
compensate Employer for the harm caused thereby and (iv) in addition to, but not
to the exclusion of any other available remedy, Employer shall have the right to
enforce the provisions of Sections 5 and 6.04 by applying for and obtaining
temporary and permanent restraining orders, injunctions, decrees of specific
performance and other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction
without the necessity of filing a bond therefor or proving irreparable harm.

            7.02 Arbitration. Except as set forth in Section 7.01, any claim or
dispute of any nature between the parties to this Agreement arising directly or
indirectly from the relationship created by this Agreement shall be resolved
exclusively by arbitration in New York, New York, in accordance with the
applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. The fees of the
arbitrator(s) and other costs (not including attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred by the parties in connection with such arbitration shall be paid by the
party which is unsuccessful in such arbitration. The decision of the
arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon all parties. Judgment of the award

                                       13

      rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. If any dispute is submitted to arbitration, each party
shall, not later than 30 days before the date set for hearing, provide to the
other parties and to the arbitrator(s) a copy of all exhibits upon which the
party intends to rely at the hearing and a list of all Persons each party
intends to call at the hearing.

            8. Indemnification.

            8.01 Indemnification. Employer desires to have Executive serve as an
executive officer of the Company and as a member of the Management Committee of
the Company and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, free from
any undue concern for unpredictable, inappropriate or unreasonable legal risks
and personal liabilities by his acting in good faith in the performance of his
duties to the Company and will, therefore, (a) indemnify Executive to the
fullest extent permitted under New York law, (b) advance all expenses incurred
by Executive in defending any action or proceeding to which Executive is a party
by reason of the fact that he was or is a director or officer of the Company to
the fullest extent permitted under New York law, and (c) purchase and maintain
for the benefit of Executive directors and officers liability insurance policies
and errors and omissions insurance policies in reasonable amounts from
established and reputable insurers.

            8.02 Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification
provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other
rights to which Executive may be entitled under any Articles of Incorporation,
Bylaws, agreement or resolution of shareholders or directors, the Business
Corporation Law of the State of New York, or otherwise.

            8.03 Survival. All agreements and obligations of Employer contained
in this Section 8 shall continue during the Term and shall continue thereafter
so long as Executive shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
arbitral, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Executive
was serving as a director or officer of the Corporation.

                                       14

                                               EXHIBIT A to EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

                          GALES INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this ___ day of __________, 2005, by Gales
Industries Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the
"Company"), with Michael A. Gales (hereinafter call the "Holder"):

      The Company has adopted a 2005 Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Said Plan, as
it may hereafter be amended and continued, is incorporated herein by reference
and made part of this Agreement. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

      The Board, which in the absence of a Committee is charged with the
administration of the Plan pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, has determined
that it would be to the advantage and interest of the Company to grant the
option provided for herein to the Holder as an inducement to remain in the
service of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and as an incentive for
increased efforts during such service.

      NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the
Holder as of the date hereof an option (the "Option") to purchase all or any
part of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.0001 per
share, upon the following terms and conditions:

      1. The Option shall continue in force through _________, 2015 (the
"Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated as provided herein and in the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the right to exercise the Options shall
vest as indicated below and the exercise price per share of the Options vesting
as of any date shall be the greater of twenty-two ($.22) cents per share and the
amount indicated below:

       Date            # of Shares Which Vest             Exercise Price
       ----            ----------------------             --------------
The date hereof               250,000                    Twenty-Two cents
September 15, 2006            250,000             Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended December 15, 2005
September 15, 2007            250,000             Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended September 15, 2006
September 15, 2008            250,000             Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended September 15, 2007
September 15, 2009            250,000             Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended September 15, 2008

For purposes hereof, FMV refers to the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the
date indicated.

      (a) Except as provided hereinbelow, the Option may not be exercised unless
the Holder is then an employee (including officers and directors who are
employees), non-employee director, consultant, advisor, agent or independent
representative of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any
combination thereof and unless the Holder has remained in the continuous employ
or service thereof from the date of grant.

                                       20

      (b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Stock Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes
exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value of the Common
Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Stock
Options granted to Holder prior to the date hereof (whether under the Plan or
any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first
become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall
nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

2. In the event that the employment or service of the Holder shall be terminated
prior to the Expiration Date (otherwise than by reason of death or disability),
the Option may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, be exercised (to the
extent that the Holder was entitled to do so at the termination of this
employment or service) at any time within three months after such termination,
but not after the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if such termination
shall have been for cause or voluntarily by the Holder and without the consent
of the Company or any subsidiary corporation thereof, as the case may be (which
consent shall be presumed in the case of normal retirement) or voluntarily by
the Holder and Holder accepts employment with a competitor of the Company, the
Option and all rights of the Holder hereunder, to the extent not theretofore
exercised, shall forthwith terminate immediately upon such termination. Nothing
in this Agreement shall confer upon the Holder any right to continue in the
employ or service of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or affect the
right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate his employment or service at
any time.

3. If the Holder shall (a) die while he is employed by or serving the Company or
a corporation which is a subsidiary thereof or within three months after the
termination of such position (other than termination for cause, or voluntarily
on his part and without the Consent of the Company or subsidiary corporation
thereof, as the case may be, which consent shall be presumed in the case of
normal retirement or voluntarily by the Holder and Holder accepts employment
with a competitor of the Company), or (b) become permanently and totally
disabled within the meaning of Section 22 (e) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), while employed by or serving any such company,
and if the Option was otherwise exercisable, immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event, then such Option may be exercised as set forth herein by the
Holder or by the person or persons to whom the Holder's rights under the Option
pass by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such right, by his
executors or administrators, at any time within one year after the date of death
of the original Holder, or one year after the date of permanent or total
disability, but in either case, not later than the Expiration Date.

4. (a) The Holder may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the
shares then purchasable hereunder by giving the Company written notice in the
form annexed, as provided in paragraph 8 hereof, of such exercise. Such notice
shall specify the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised and
shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the
exercise price of such shares multiplied by the number of shares as to which the

                                       21

Option is being exercised; provided that, if permitted by the Board, the
purchase price may be paid, in whole or in part, by surrender or delivery to the
Company of securities of the Company having a fair market value on the date of
the exercise equal to the portion of the purchase price being so paid. In such
event fair market value should be determined pursuant to the Plan.

      (b) The Holder shall, upon notification of the amount due, pay promptly
any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax
requirements. In the event such amount is not paid promptly, the Company shall
have the right to apply from the purchase price paid any taxes required by law
to be withheld by the Company with respect to such payment and the number of
shares to be issued by the Company will be reduced accordingly.

5. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a change in
the outstanding shares of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, split-up,
split-down, reverse split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination
or exchange of shares, spin-off, reorganization, liquidation or the like, then
the aggregate number of shares and price per unit subject to the Option shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive. 1.
6. This Option shall be nontransferable and shall no be assignable, alienable,
saleable or otherwise transferable by the Holder other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution except pursuant to a domestic relations order
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. During the life of the Holder,
this Option shall be exercisable only by him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent the Option is deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Holder shall
be permitted to transfer such Option to family members or family trusts
established by the Holder. Except as otherwise provided for herein, in the event
that the Holder terminates employment with the Company to assume a position with
a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution, the
Holder may nominate a third party, including but not limited to a "blind" trust,
to act on behalf or and for the benefit of the Holder with respect to the
Option. In addition, the Holder may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
exercise the rights of the Holder and receive any distributions upon the death
of the Holder.

7. Neither the Holder nor in the event of his death, any person entitled to
exercise his rights, shall have any of the rights of a member with respect to
the shares subject to the Option until shares have been registered in the name
of the Holder or his estate, as the case may be.

8. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed
to the Company in care of its Chairman, Michael Gales, and any notice to the
Holder shall be addressed to him at his address now on file with the Company, or
to such other address as either may last have designated to the other by notice
as provided herein. Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given on the
second business day after mailing, by registered or certified mail, at a post
office or branch post office within the United States.

                                       22

9. In the event that any question or controversy shall arise with respect to the
nature, scope or extent of any one or more rights conferred by this Option, the
determination by the Board, or if one had been appointed, the Committee (as
constituted at the time of such determination) of the rights of the Holder shall
be conclusive, final and binding upon the Holder and upon any other person who
shall assert any right pursuant to this Option.

the business and affairs of the Employer during the Term. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive shall not be precluded from accepting service as a director
of other businesses or community organizations or from the management of his
investments, provided, however, that any such business shall not be competitive
with the Company and such service shall not detract from Executive's performance
or time commitment hereunder. Executive shall report directly to the Executive
Chairman and the Board of Directors of the Company.

            3.03 Key-man Life Insurance. Should the Company determine to obtain
key-man life insurance payable to the Company in the event of the death of
Executive, Executive agrees to cooperate with such effort.

                                       2

      4. Compensation.

            4.01 Base Salary. As base compensation for all services to be
rendered by Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Executive
an annual base salary, which annual base salary shall be $230,000 per year for
the initial twelve-month period of the Term (as adjusted pursuant to this
Section 4.01, the "Base Salary"), which Base Salary shall be paid on a weekly
basis in accordance with the Company's normal payroll procedures and policies,
subject to applicable deductions as required by law. The amount of the
Executive's Base Salary (a) shall be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors
of the Company, (b) shall be increased annually from the amount of the Base
Salary paid to Executive during the prior twelve-month period (each, a "Prior
Period") of the Term on the basis, inter alia, of the profitability and
performance of the Company, on a consolidated basis, during such Prior Period,
which increase shall in no event be less than ten percent (10%) of the amount of
the Base Salary paid to Executive during such Prior Period, provided that
Operating Profits during such Prior Period are at least five percent (5%)
greater than the Operating Profits during the twelve-month period prior to such
Prior Period and (c) shall under no circumstance be reduced from the amount of
the Base Salary paid to Executive during the applicable Prior Period. "Operating
Profits" means the consolidated net income during the applicable period, as
reported on the Company's consolidated financial statements, plus current
interest expense, noncash expenses related to any employee stock ownership plan
established by the Company, provisions for taxes based on income, any
extraordinary losses for such period, minus any extraordinary gains for such
period, but without adjustment for any noncash income or noncash charges which
are classified as such under generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (other than noncash expenses related to any employee stock
ownership plan established by the Company).

                                       3

            4.02 Annual Bonus. In addition to Base Salary, the Company shall pay
to Executive an annual bonus. The amount of the annual bonus to be paid to
Executive with respect to any twelve-month period during the Term shall be
determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, provided,
however, that the amount of such annual bonus shall be reasonably predicated on
Executive's performance and the achievement by the Company of its operating
targets as set forth in the applicable budget adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Company in consultation with Executive; provided, further, in no event
shall the amount of the such annual bonus be less than fifty percent (50%) of
Base Salary paid to Executive during the twelve-month period in which the annual
bonus is paid. In addition, Executive shall participate in all other bonus
programs that Employer may adopt from time to time in which senior employees are
entitled to participate.

            4.03 Participation in Benefit Plans. The Company will either pay, or
reimburse Executive, for the amount of the premiums due for a long-term
disability policy providing benefits of no less than one-half of Executive's
salary until age 70 with respect to Executive and a life insurance policy on the
life of Executive. Such life insurance policy will pay Executive's designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries no less than three times the amount of the Base
Salary that was being paid to Executive at the time of his death. In addition,
Executive shall also be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans or
programs offered to senior employees of Employer (to the extent that Executive
meets the requirements for each such plan or program), including without
limitation participation in any health, disability, dental, eye care, 401(k),
deferred compensation and other similar plans (together with the life insurance
and disability policies, "Benefits"), as such plans and programs may be or have
been adopted from time to time.

                                       4

            (b) Employer intends to implement a plan relating to future
acquisitions of other businesses, pursuant to which a portion of a corporate
overhead charge implemented in connection with each acquisition will be
allocated in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors to compensation for
executive-level employees of the Company. Upon adoption of such plan, it shall
provide that Executive will be entitled to no less than 25% of the portion of
the corporate overhead charged allocated to executive-level compensation with
respect to each such acquisition consummated at any time during the period from
the date of adoption of such plan until the date on which the Employer's
obligations to pay Benefits has terminated pursuant to Section 6.02.

            4.04 Automobile and Other Expenses. The Company will pay to
Executive no less than $700 per month (adjusted annually for inflation, as
determined by the Company's Board of Directors) during the Term as reimbursement
for business-related operating expenses for an automobile to be used by
Executive, including without limitation automobile lease payments, insurance,
service and repairs in the ordinary course. In addition, the Company shall pay
or reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him
in the performance of his duties under this Agreement, subject to the
presentment and approval of appropriate itemized expense statements, receipts,
vouchers or other supporting documentation in accordance with the Company's
normal policies.

            4.05 Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to no less paid vacation
than other senior employees of the Company receive pursuant to the Company's
standard vacation policies, provided, however, that Executive shall be entitled
to no less than five (5) weeks of paid vacation during each twelve (12) month
period during the Term.

                                       5

            4.06 Stock Options and Other Incentive Compensation. To further the
attainment of the Company's long-term profit and growth objectives, the Company
hereby grants Executive, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
options to purchase such number of shares of common stock of the Company as will
convert into 1,200,000 shares of common stock (the "Common Stock") of the public
entity with which the Company merges upon acquisition of Air Industries
Machining, Corp. The exercise price of 240,000 of such options shall be
twenty-two cents and the exercise price of the remaining options shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of the Option Agreement being
delivered simultaneously herewith. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to
participate in all other stock option, revenue sharing, profit sharing,
long-term accumulation and/or stock based plans or programs that the Company may
adopt from time to time. For purposes of any Common Stock options or other
similar programs to be granted hereunder, such Common Stock and rights shall be
defined to include the Common Stock of any successor corporation or other entity
into which the Company is merged, or which acquires substantially all the assets
of the Company.

      5. Additional Covenants.

            5.01 Acknowledgments and Stipulations. Executive acknowledges that
he is agreeing to the covenants set forth in this Section 5 (a) in consideration
of the substantial economic benefits derived by Executive under the terms of
this Agreement, (b) in recognition that the services rendered by Executive to
Employer will be unique, as are Executive's abilities, skills and experience,
(c) in recognition that, as a result of his employment, Executive will acquire
and participate in the creation of knowledge and information of a confidential
and/or proprietary nature relating to the business of the Company and its
affiliates, which is valuable to the Company because the Company will expend
substantial time, effort and money to develop such knowledge and information,
(d) to induce Employer to employ Executive and disclose certain of such
information to Executive, and (e) to induce Employer to enter into this
Agreement.

                                       6

            5.02 Nonsolicitation of Customers and Executives. At all times
during the term of Executive's employment with the Employer and for a period of
twelve (12) months following the termination of such employment pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(f) hereto, (a) Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person,
solicit or attempt to solicit the business or patronage of, or interfere with
the business relationship of the Employer with any customer of the Employer, and
(b) Executive shall not directly or indirectly cause any other person to employ,
solicit, disturb, entice away, or in any other manner persuade any employee of
the Employer or its affiliates to discontinue or alter his or her relationship
with the Employer.

            5.03 Noncompetition. At all times during the term of Executive's
employment with the Employer and for a period of twelve (12) months following
the termination of such employment for any reason other than a termination of
this Agreement by the Company without cause, Executive whether individually, as
a director, manager, member, stockholder, partner, owner, employee, consultant
or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, shall not engage, directly
or indirectly through any other person, in any business, enterprise or
employment which competes with the business of the Employer. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the business of the Employer is of a worldwide
nature and that any geographic limitation on the foregoing covenant would be
ineffective to adequately protect the interests of the Employer. Executive
further acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing covenant is an integral part
of his agreement to be employed hereunder, is fair and reasonable in light of
all of the facts and circumstances of the relationship between Executive and the
Employer. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction determines that,

                                       7

notwithstanding the foregoing acknowledgments, the scope of the restricted
activities of the foregoing covenant is excessive or not enforceable, or that
the foregoing covenant is not enforceable unless it is subject to a geographic
limitation, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect the maximum
restrictions on activities and geographic scope allowable pursuant to such
court's determination. Nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall be construed
as limiting the scope of this Section 5.

            5.04 Limitation on Covenant not to Compete. Ownership by Executive,
as a passive investment, of less than two percent (2.00%) of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of any corporation, with a cost basis to Executive of
less than $250,000, listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded
in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.

            5.05 Confidential Information. Executive agrees that during and
after the period of his employment, he will not, without the authorization of
the Company, divulge, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other
than as necessary or desirable for the business of the Employer pursuant to his
responsibilities to the Employer during the Term, any information of a
confidential nature pertaining in any way to the Employer's business, products,
practices, techniques, customers, suppliers, functions or operations (the
"Confidential Information"), except to the extent that such Confidential
Information (a) was disclosed to Executive by a third party who did not obtain
the same directly or indirectly from the Company or one of its affiliates, (b)
was known by Executive prior to disclosure by the Employer, (c) at or after the
time of disclosure, is or becomes generally available to the public (other than
as a result of its disclosure by Executive), (d) is required to be disclosed by
Executive pursuant to applicable law or an order of a governing authority
applicable to Executive.

                                       8

      6. Termination.

            6.01 Grounds for Termination. This Agreement shall terminate prior
to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term upon the occurrence of
any of the following events at any time during such Initial Term or Renewal
Term:

                  (a) The effective date of Executive's voluntary resignation,
for which Executive agrees to give at least 30 days' prior written notice to the
Company;

                  (b) Executive's death;

                  (c) Executive's Disability (as hereinafter defined);

                  (d) Executive elects to terminate his employment 30 or more
days after Executive gives the Company written notice of his intent to terminate
his employment ("Notice of Good Reason") for any of the following reasons (each,
a "Good Reason"), provided that the Company has not eliminated the circumstances
constituting Good Reason prior to the effective date of such resignation: (1) a
material adverse alteration in the nature or status of Executive's title, duties
or responsibilities; (2) a material adverse reduction in Executive's Base Salary
and Benefits (excluding contingent salary and bonuses); (3) a requirement that
Executive be based at a work location more than 50 miles from the current site
of Employer (unless such new work location is closer to Executive's residence
than the current site is); (4) the failure by the Company to pay to Executive
any portion of Executive's compensation then due and payable; or (5) any failure
by Employer to comply with the material provisions of this Agreement. The Notice
of Good Reason shall indicate the specific provision above that Executive is
relying upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Good Reason under the provision so
indicated;

                  (e) Executive's termination by Employer without Cause (as
hereinafter defined);

                                       9

                  (f) Executive's termination by Employer for Cause. For the
purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means, as determined by the Board (or its
designee), with respect to conduct during the Executive's employment or service
relationship with the Company or its affiliates, whether or not committed during
the Term, (i) commission of a felony by Executive; (ii) acts of dishonesty by
Executive resulting or intending to result in personal gain or enrichment at the
expense of the Company or its subsidiaries; (iii) conduct by Executive in
connection with his duties hereunder that is fraudulent, unlawful or grossly
negligent, including, but not limited to, acts of discrimination (provided
reasonable grounds of such harassment or discrimination are established); (iv)
engaging in personal conduct by Executive (including but not limited to employee
harassment or discrimination (provided reasonable grounds of such harassment or
discrimination are established), the use or possession at work of any illegal
controlled substance) which seriously discredits or damages the Company or its
subsidiaries; and (v) breach of the Executive's covenants set forth in Section 5
before termination of employment; provided, that, the Executive shall have
fifteen (15) days after notice from the Company to cure the deficiency leading
to the Cause determination (except with respect to (i) above), if curable. A
termination for "Cause" shall be effective immediately or on such later date set
forth by the Company in the notice of termination.

            6.02 Severance. If Executive's employment is terminated:

            (a) as a result of Sections 6.01(b) and (f), then the Company shall
pay to Executive his full Base Salary, bonuses for the calendar year (or
employment period) prior to the year (or employment period) in which such
termination occurs and Benefits prorated through the effective date of such
termination, and Executive shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred by him
pursuant to Section 4.04 through the termination date; or

                                       10

            (b) as a result of Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d) or 6.01(e), then the
Company shall pay to Executive or Executive's estate (1) his full Base Salary,
bonuses for the calendar year (or employment period) prior to the year (or
employment period) in which such termination occurs, pro-rated bonuses for the
current year (or period) and Benefits prorated through the effective date of
such termination and (2) additional Base Salary, payable in monthly
installments, plus additional Benefits, for the period from the effective date
of such termination until the later of (i) one year after the effective date of
such termination and (ii) the date on which the then-current Initial Term or
Renewal Term, as the case may be, would have expired (provided, however, if
participation by Executive in any Benefit plan or program after the termination
of his employment is not permitted under such plan or program, then the Company
will provide him with the equivalent benefits); Executive shall be reimbursed
for any expenses incurred by him pursuant to Section 4.04 through the effective
date of such termination; Executive shall be paid $700 per month (or a prorated
portion thereof) for the automobile to be used by Executive from the effective
date of such termination until the later of (i) one year after the effective
date of such termination and (ii) the date on which the then-current Initial
Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, would have expired; and all stock
options granted to Executive shall immediately vest and be exercisable as of,
and for a period of twelve months after, the effective date of such termination.

            6.03 "Disability" Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Disability" means any mental or physical condition that results in the
Executive becoming unable to perform the essential functions of his position,
with reasonable accommodation, for a period of at least ninety (90) days. The
Executive shall be deemed to have a Disability at the end of such ninety (90)
day period.

                                       11

            6.04 Surrender of Records and Property. Upon termination of
Executive's employment by Executive or by the Company, for any reason or for no
reason, Executive shall deliver promptly to the Company all records, manuals,
books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports,
data, tables, and calculations, and copies thereof, in whatever medium, which
are the property of Employer or which relate in any way to the business,
products, practices, techniques, customers, suppliers, functions or operations
of Employer, and all other property and Confidential Information of Employer,
including, but not limited to, all documents which in whole or in part contain
any Confidential Information of Employer, which in any of these cases are in his
possession or under his control.

            6.05 Resignation. If the Executive's employment is terminated for
any reason under the terms of this Agreement, he shall be deemed to resign (i)
if a member, from the Board of Directors of the Company and any subsidiary of
the Company or any other board to which he has been appointed or nominated by or
on behalf of the Company and (ii) from any position with the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, including, but not limited to, as an officer of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries.

            6.05 Successor. The Company, or any Person which controls the
Company, shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
or assets of the Company by written agreement expressly to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company
would be required to perform if no such succession had occurred. Failure of the
Company or a controlling entity to obtain such written agreement prior to the
effective date of any such succession followed by the failure of the successor
to honor this Agreement shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle
Executive to the rights and benefits hereunder as though he had terminated his
employment with Employer for Good Reason, whether or not he terminates his
employment with Employer.

                                       12

      7. Injunctive Relief; Arbitration.

            7.01 Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees that (i) any breach or
threatened breach of Sections 5 or 6.04 shall be a material breach of this
Agreement, (ii) such breach will cause substantial harm to Employer and/or its
customers, the amount of which will be difficult to determine and compute, (iii)
the remedies of Employer at law for such breach would be inadequate to fully
compensate Employer for the harm caused thereby and (iv) in addition to, but not
to the exclusion of any other available remedy, Employer shall have the right to
enforce the provisions of Sections 5 and 6.04 by applying for and obtaining
temporary and permanent restraining orders, injunctions, decrees of specific
performance and other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction
without the necessity of filing a bond therefor or proving irreparable harm.

            7.02 Arbitration. Except as set forth in Section 7.01, any claim or
dispute of any nature between the parties to this Agreement arising directly or
indirectly from the relationship created by this Agreement shall be resolved
exclusively by arbitration in New York, New York, in accordance with the
applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. The fees of the
arbitrator(s) and other costs (not including attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred by the parties in connection with such arbitration shall be paid by the
party which is unsuccessful in such arbitration. The decision of the
arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon all parties. Judgment of the award
rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. If any dispute is submitted to arbitration, each party shall, not later
than 30 days before the date set for hearing, provide to the other parties and
to the arbitrator(s) a copy of all exhibits upon which the party intends to rely
at the hearing and a list of all Persons each party intends to call at the
hearing.

the Company and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, free from
any undue concern for unpredictable, inappropriate or unreasonable legal risks
and personal liabilities by his acting in good faith in the performance of his
duties to the Company and will, therefore, (a) indemnify Executive to the
fullest extent permitted under New York law, (b) advance all expenses incurred
by Executive in defending any action or proceeding to which Executive is a party
by reason of the fact that he was or is a director or officer of the Company to
the fullest extent permitted under New York law, and (c) purchase and maintain

and errors and omissions insurance policies in reasonable amounts from
established and reputable insurers.

            8.02 Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification
provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other
rights to which Executive may be entitled under any Articles of Incorporation,
Bylaws, agreement or resolution of shareholders or directors, the Business
Corporation Law of the State of New York, or otherwise.

            8.03 Survival. All agreements and obligations of Employer contained
in this Section 8 shall continue during the Term and shall continue thereafter
so long as Executive shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
arbitral, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Executive
was serving as a director or officer of the Company.

                          GALES INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this ___ day of __________, 2005, by Gales
Industries Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the
"Company"), with Louis A. Giusto (hereinafter call the "Holder"):

      The Company has adopted a 2005 Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Said Plan, as
it may hereafter be amended and continued, is incorporated herein by reference
and made part of this Agreement. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

      The Board, which in the absence of a Committee is charged with the
administration of the Plan pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, has determined
that it would be to the advantage and interest of the Company to grant the
option provided for herein to the Holder as an inducement to remain in the
service of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and as an incentive for
increased efforts during such service.

      NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the
Holder as of the date hereof an option (the "Option") to purchase all or any
part of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.0001 per
share, upon the following terms and conditions:

      1. The Option shall continue in force through _________, 2015 (the
"Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated as provided herein and in the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the right to exercise the Options shall
vest as indicated below and the exercise price per share of the Options vesting
as of any date shall be the greater of twenty-two ($.22) cents per share and the
amount indicated below:

       Date             # of Shares Which Vest            Exercise Price
       ----             ----------------------            --------------
The date hereof                 240,000                  Twenty-Two cents
September 15, 2006              240,000           Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended December 15, 2005
September 15, 2007              240,000           Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended September 15, 2006
September 15, 2008              240,000           Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended September 15, 2007
September 15, 2009              240,000           Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended September 15, 2008

For purposes hereof, FMV refers to the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the
date indicated.

      (a) Except as provided hereinbelow, the Option may not be exercised unless
the Holder is then an employee (including officers and directors who are
employees), non-employee director, consultant, advisor, agent or independent
representative of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any
combination thereof and unless the Holder has remained in the continuous employ
or service thereof from the date of grant.

                                       20

      (b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Stock Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes
exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value of the Common
Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Stock
Options granted to Holder prior to the date hereof (whether under the Plan or
any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first
become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall
nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

2. In the event that the employment or service of the Holder shall be terminated
prior to the Expiration Date (otherwise than by reason of death or disability),
the Option may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, be exercised (to the
extent that the Holder was entitled to do so at the termination of this
employment or service) at any time within three months after such termination,
but not after the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if such termination
shall have been for cause or voluntarily by the Holder and without the consent
of the Company or any subsidiary corporation thereof, as the case may be (which
consent shall be presumed in the case of normal retirement) or voluntarily by
the Holder and Holder accepts employment with a competitor of the Company, the
Option and all rights of the Holder hereunder, to the extent not theretofore
exercised, shall forthwith terminate immediately upon such termination. Nothing
in this Agreement shall confer upon the Holder any right to continue in the
employ or service of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or affect the
right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate his employment or service at
any time.

3. If the Holder shall (a) die while he is employed by or serving the Company or
a corporation which is a subsidiary thereof or within three months after the
termination of such position (other than termination for cause, or voluntarily
on his part and without the Consent of the Company or subsidiary corporation
thereof, as the case may be, which consent shall be presumed in the case of
normal retirement or voluntarily by the Holder and Holder accepts employment
with a competitor of the Company), or (b) become permanently and totally
disabled within the meaning of Section 22 (e) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), while employed by or serving any such company,
and if the Option was otherwise exercisable, immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event, then such Option may be exercised as set forth herein by the
Holder or by the person or persons to whom the Holder's rights under the Option
pass by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such right, by his
executors or administrators, at any time within one year after the date of death
of the original Holder, or one year after the date of permanent or total
disability, but in either case, not later than the Expiration Date.

                                       21

4. (a) The Holder may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the
shares then purchasable hereunder by giving the Company written notice in the
form annexed, as provided in paragraph 8 hereof, of such exercise. Such notice
shall specify the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised and
shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the
exercise price of such shares multiplied by the number of shares as to which the
Option is being exercised; provided that, if permitted by the Board, the
purchase price may be paid, in whole or in part, by surrender or delivery to the
Company of securities of the Company having a fair market value on the date of
the exercise equal to the portion of the purchase price being so paid. In such
event fair market value should be determined pursuant to the Plan.

      (b) The Holder shall, upon notification of the amount due, pay promptly
any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax
requirements. In the event such amount is not paid promptly, the Company shall
have the right to apply from the purchase price paid any taxes required by law
to be withheld by the Company with respect to such payment and the number of
shares to be issued by the Company will be reduced accordingly.

5. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a change in
the outstanding shares of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, split-up,
split-down, reverse split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination
or exchange of shares, spin-off, reorganization, liquidation or the like, then
the aggregate number of shares and price per unit subject to the Option shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive. 1.
6. This Option shall be nontransferable and shall no be assignable, alienable,
saleable or otherwise transferable by the Holder other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution except pursuant to a domestic relations order
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. During the life of the Holder,
this Option shall be exercisable only by him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent the Option is deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Holder shall
be permitted to transfer such Option to family members or family trusts
established by the Holder. Except as otherwise provided for herein, in the event
that the Holder terminates employment with the Company to assume a position with
a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution, the
Holder may nominate a third party, including but not limited to a "blind" trust,
to act on behalf or and for the benefit of the Holder with respect to the
Option. In addition, the Holder may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
exercise the rights of the Holder and receive any distributions upon the death
of the Holder.

7. Neither the Holder nor in the event of his death, any person entitled to
exercise his rights, shall have any of the rights of a member with respect to
the shares subject to the Option until shares have been registered in the name
of the Holder or his estate, as the case may be.

8. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed
to the Company in care of its Chairman, Michael Gales, and any notice to the
Holder shall be addressed to him at his address now on file with the Company, or
to such other address as either may last have designated to the other by notice
as provided herein. Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given on the
second business day after mailing, by registered or certified mail, at a post
office or branch post office within the United States.

                                       22

9. In the event that any question or controversy shall arise with respect to the
nature, scope or extent of any one or more rights conferred by this Option, the
determination by the Board, or if one had been appointed, the Committee (as
constituted at the time of such determination) of the rights of the Holder shall
be conclusive, final and binding upon the Holder and upon any other person who
shall assert any right pursuant to this Option.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of the
26th day of September, 2005, by and among Gales Industries Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Air Industries Machining, Corp., a New
York corporation (the "Subsidiary"), and Peter D. Rettaliata, a resident of the
State of New York ("Executive"). The Company and the Subsidiary are sometimes
referred to herein jointly as the "Employer".

      WHEREAS, the Employer wishes to employ Executive on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Executive wishes to be retained and
employed by the Employer on such terms and conditions.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective
undertakings of the Employer and Executive set forth below, the Employer and
Executive hereby agree as follows:

      1. Employment. The Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby
accepts such employment and agrees to perform services for the Employer, for the
period and on the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

      2. Term. Unless terminated at an earlier date in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement, the initial term of Executive's
employment hereunder shall be a period of five (5) years commencing on the
effective date (the "Effective Date") of the Company's acquisition of the shares
of the Subsidiary (the "Initial Term"). This Agreement shall be automatically
extended for successive three (3) one year periods (each, a "Renewal Term", and
together with the Initial Term, the "Term") unless (i) any party objects to such
extension by no less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice to the other
parties at any time prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal
Term, as the case may be, or (ii) this Agreement is terminated at an earlier
date in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.

      3. Position and Duties.

            3.01 Service with the Employer. The Employer hereby employs
Executive in an executive capacity during the Term with the title of Chief
Executive Officer and President of the Company and President of the Subsidiary,
and Executive hereby accepts such employment and undertakes and agrees to serve
in such capacities during the Term. In such position, Executive shall be a
member of the Office of the Executive Chairman of the Company. In addition, the
Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause Executive to be elected as a
member of the Management and Executive Committees of the Company and as a member
of the Boards of Directors of both the Company and the Subsidiary. In such
capacities, Executive shall have such powers, perform such duties and fulfill
such responsibilities typically associated with such positions in other publicly
held companies, and Executive will have overall responsibility for the execution
of the Company's business plan and all approved policies pertaining to the
management of the Company and the Subsidiary.

            3.02 Performance of Duties. Executive agrees to serve Employer to
the best of his ability and to devote his full time, attention and efforts to
the business and affairs of the Employer during the Term. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive shall not be precluded from accepting service as a director
of other businesses or community organizations or from the management of his
investments, provided, however, that any such business shall not be competitive
with the Company and such service shall not detract from Executive's performance
or time commitment hereunder. Executive shall report directly to the Executive
Chairman and the Board of Directors of the Company and to the Board of Directors
of the Subsidiary, as the case may be.

                                       2

            3.03 Key-man Life Insurance. Should the Company determine to obtain
key-man life insurance payable to the Company in the event of the death of
Executive, Executive agrees to cooperate with such effort.

      4. Compensation.

            4.01 Base Salary. As base compensation for all services to be
rendered by Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Executive
an annual base salary, which annual base salary shall be $230,000 per year for
the initial twelve-month period of the Term (as adjusted pursuant to this
Section 4.01, the "Base Salary"), which Base Salary shall be paid on a weekly
basis in accordance with the Company's normal payroll procedures and policies,
subject to applicable deductions as required by law. The amount of the
Executive's Base Salary (a) shall be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors
of the Company, (b) shall be increased annually from the amount of the Base
Salary paid to Executive during the prior twelve-month period (each, a "Prior
Period") of the Term on the basis, inter alia, of the profitability and
performance of the Company, on a consolidated basis, during such Prior Period
(as compared to the profitability and performance of the Company, on a
consolidated basis, during the twelve-month period prior to such Prior Period),
which increase shall in no event be less than five percent (5%) of the amount of
the Base Salary paid to Executive during such Prior Period, provided that
Operating Profits during such Prior Period are at least five percent (5%)
greater than the Operating Profits during the twelve-month period prior to such
Prior Period and (c) shall under no circumstance be reduced from the amount of
the Base Salary paid to Executive during the applicable Prior Period. "Operating
Profits" means the consolidated net income during the applicable period, as
reported on the Company's consolidated financial statements, plus current

                                       3

interest expense, noncash expenses related to any employee stock ownership plan
established by the Company, provisions for taxes based on income, any
extraordinary losses for such period, minus any extraordinary gains for such
period, but without adjustment for any noncash income or noncash charges which
are classified as such under generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (other than noncash expenses related to any employee stock
ownership plan established by the Company).

            4.02 Annual Bonus. In addition to Base Salary, the Company shall pay
to Executive an annual bonus. The amount of the annual bonus to be paid to
Executive with respect to any twelve-month period during the Term shall be
determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, provided,
however, that the amount of such annual bonus shall be reasonably predicated on
Executive's performance and the achievement by the Company of its operating
targets as set forth in the applicable budget adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Company in consultation with Executive. In addition, Executive shall
participate in all other bonus programs that Employer may adopt from time to
time in which senior employees are entitled to participate.

            4.03 Participation in Benefit Plans. (a) The Company will either
pay, or reimburse Executive, for the amount of the premiums due for a long-term
disability policy providing benefits of no less than one-half of Executive's
salary until age 65 with respect to Executive and a life insurance policy on the
life of Executive. Such life insurance policy will pay Executive's designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries no less than two times the amount of the Base
Salary that was being paid to Executive at the time of his death. In addition,
Executive shall also be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans or

                                       4

programs offered to senior employees of Employer (to the extent that Executive
meets the requirements for each such plan or program), including without
limitation participation in any health, disability, dental, eye care, 401(k),
deferred compensation and other similar plans (together with the life insurance
and disability policies, "Benefits"), as such plans and programs may be or have
been adopted from time to time.

            (b) Employer intends to implement a plan relating to future
acquisitions of other businesses, pursuant to which a portion of a corporate
overhead charge implemented in connection with each acquisition will be
allocated in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors to compensation for
executive-level employees of the Company. Upon adoption of such plan, it shall
provide that Executive will be entitled to no less than 15% of the portion of
the corporate overhead charged allocated to executive-level compensation with
respect to each such acquisition consummated at any time during the period from
the date of adoption of such plan until the date on which the Employer's
obligations to pay Benefits has terminated pursuant to Section 6.02.

            4.04 Automobile and Other Expenses. The Company will pay to
Executive no less than $700 per month (adjusted annually for inflation, as
determined by the Company's Board of Directors) during the Term as reimbursement
for business-related operating expenses for an automobile to be used by
Executive, including without limitation automobile lease payments, insurance,
service and repairs in the ordinary course. In addition, the Company shall pay
or reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him
in the performance of his duties under this Agreement, subject to the
presentment and approval of appropriate itemized expense statements, receipts,
vouchers or other supporting documentation in accordance with the Company's
normal policies.

                                       5

            4.05 Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to no less paid vacation
than other senior employees of the Company receive pursuant to the Company's
standard vacation policies, provided, however, that Executive shall be entitled
to no less than three (3) weeks of paid vacation during each twelve (12) month
period during the Term.

            4.06 Stock Options and Other Incentive Compensation. To further the
attainment of the Company's long-term profit and growth objectives, the Company
hereby grants Executive, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
options to purchase such number of shares of common stock of the Company as will
convert into 1,200,000 shares of common stock (the "Common Stock") of the public
entity with which the Company merges upon acquisition of the Subsidiary. The
exercise price of 150,000 of such options shall be twenty-two cents and the
exercise price of the remaining options shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of the Option Agreement being delivered simultaneously herewith.
In addition, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all other stock
option, revenue sharing, profit sharing, long-term accumulation and/or stock
based plans or programs that the Company or the Subsidiary may adopt from time
to time. For purposes of any Common Stock options or other similar programs to
be granted hereunder, such Common Stock and rights shall be defined to include
the Common Stock of any successor corporation or other entity into which the
Company is merged, or which acquires substantially all the assets of the
Company.

      5. Additional Covenants.

            5.01 Acknowledgments and Stipulations. Executive acknowledges that
he is agreeing to the covenants set forth in this Section 5 (a) in consideration
of the substantial economic benefits derived by Executive under the terms of
this Agreement, (b) in recognition that the services rendered by Executive to

                                       6

Employer will be unique, as are Executive's abilities, skills and experience,
(c) in recognition that, as a result of his employment, Executive will acquire
and participate in the creation of knowledge and information of a confidential
and/or proprietary nature relating to the business of the Company and its
affiliates, which is valuable to the Company because the Company will expend
substantial time, effort and money to develop such knowledge and information,
(d) to induce Employer to employ Executive and disclose certain of such
information to Executive, and (e) to induce Employer to enter into this
Agreement.

            5.02 Nonsolicitation of Customers and Executives. At all times
during the term of Executive's employment with the Employer and for a period of
twelve (12) months following the termination of such employment pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(f) hereto, (a) Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person,
solicit or attempt to solicit the business or patronage of, or interfere with
the business relationship of the Employer with any customer of the Employer, and
(b) Executive shall not directly or indirectly cause any other person to employ,
solicit, disturb, entice away, or in any other manner persuade any employee of
the Employer or its affiliates to discontinue or alter his or her relationship
with the Employer.

            5.03 Noncompetition. At all times during the term of Executive's
employment with the Employer and for a period of twelve (12) months following
the termination of such employment for any reason other than a termination of
this Agreement by the Company without cause, Executive whether individually, as
a director, manager, member, stockholder, partner, owner, employee, consultant
or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, shall not engage, directly
or indirectly through any other person, in any business, enterprise or
employment which competes with the business of the Employer. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the business of the Employer is of a worldwide

                                       7

nature and that any geographic limitation on the foregoing covenant would be
ineffective to adequately protect the interests of the Employer. Executive
further acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing covenant is an integral part
of his agreement to be employed hereunder, is fair and reasonable in light of
all of the facts and circumstances of the relationship between Executive and the
Employer. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction determines that,
notwithstanding the foregoing acknowledgments, the scope of the restricted
activities of the foregoing covenant is excessive or not enforceable, or that
the foregoing covenant is not enforceable unless it is subject to a geographic
limitation, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect the maximum
restrictions on activities and geographic scope allowable pursuant to such
court's determination. Nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall be construed
as limiting the scope of this Section 5.

            5.04 Limitation on Covenant not to Compete. Ownership by Executive,
as a passive investment, of less than two percent (2.00%) of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of any corporation, with a cost basis to Executive of
less than $250,000, listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded
in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.

            5.05 Confidential Information. Executive agrees that during and
after the period of his employment, he will not, without the authorization of
the Company, divulge, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other
than as necessary or desirable for the business of the Employer pursuant to his
responsibilities to the Employer during the Term, any information of a
confidential nature pertaining in any way to the Employer's business, products,
practices, techniques, customers, suppliers, functions or operations (the
"Confidential Information"), except to the extent that such Confidential
Information (a) was disclosed to Executive by a third party who did not obtain
the same directly or indirectly from the Company or one of its affiliates, (b)

                                       8

applicable to Executive.

      6. Termination.

            6.01 Grounds for Termination. This Agreement shall terminate prior
to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term upon the occurrence of
any of the following events at any time during such Initial Term or Renewal
Term:

                  (a) The effective date of Executive's voluntary resignation,
for which Executive agrees to give at least 30 days' prior written notice to the
Company;

                  (b) Executive's death;

                  (c) Executive's Disability (as hereinafter defined);

                  (d) Executive elects to terminate his employment 30 or more
days after Executive gives the Company written notice of his intent to terminate
his employment ("Notice of Good Reason") for any of the following reasons (each,
a "Good Reason"), provided that the Company has not eliminated the circumstances
constituting Good Reason prior to the effective date of such resignation: (1) a
material adverse alteration in the nature or status of Executive's title, duties
or responsibilities; (2) a material adverse reduction in Executive's Base Salary
and Benefits (excluding contingent salary and bonuses); (3) a requirement that
Executive be based at a work location more than 50 miles from the current site
of Employer (unless such new work location is closer to Executive's residence
than the current site is); (4) the failure by the Company to pay to Executive
any portion of Executive's compensation then due and payable; or (5) any failure

                                       9

by Employer to comply with the material provisions of this Agreement. The Notice
of Good Reason shall indicate the specific provision above that Executive is
relying upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Good Reason under the provision so
indicated;

                  (e) Executive's termination by Employer without Cause (as
hereinafter defined);

                  (f) Executive's termination by Employer for Cause. For the
purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means, as determined by the Board (or its
designee), with respect to conduct during the Executive's employment or service
relationship with the Company or its affiliates, whether or not committed during
the Term, (i) commission of a felony by Executive; (ii) acts of dishonesty by
Executive resulting or intending to result in personal gain or enrichment at the
expense of the Company or its subsidiaries; (iii) conduct by Executive in
connection with his duties hereunder that is fraudulent, unlawful or grossly
negligent, including, but not limited to, acts of discrimination; (iv) engaging
in personal conduct by Executive (including but not limited to employee
harassment or discrimination, the use or possession at work of any illegal
controlled substance) which seriously discredits or damages the Company or its
subsidiaries; and (v) breach of the Executive's covenants set forth in Section 5
before termination of employment; provided, that, the Executive shall have
fifteen (15) days after notice from the Company to cure the deficiency leading
to the Cause determination (except with respect to (i) above), if curable. A
termination for "Cause" shall be effective immediately or on such later date set
forth by the Company in the notice of termination.

            6.02 Severance. If Executive's employment is terminated:

            (a) as a result of Section 6.01(b) and (f), then the Company shall
pay to Executive his full Base Salary, bonuses for the calendar year (or
employment period) prior to the year (or employment period) in which such
termination occurs and Benefits prorated through the effective date of such

                                       10

termination, and Executive shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred by him
pursuant to Section 4.04 through the termination date; or

            (b) as a result of Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d) or 6.01(e), then the
Company shall pay to Executive or Executive's estate (1) his full Base Salary,
bonuses for the calendar year (or employment period) prior to the year (or
employment period) in which such termination occurs, pro-rated bonuses for the
current year (or period) and Benefits prorated through the effective date of
such termination and (2) additional Base Salary, payable in monthly
installments, plus additional Benefits, for the period from the effective date
of such termination until the later of (i) one year after the effective date of
such termination and (ii) the date on which the then-current Initial Term or
Renewal Term, as the case may be, would have expired (provided, however, if
participation by Executive in any Benefit plan or program after the termination
of his employment is not permitted under such plan or program, then the Company
will provide him with the equivalent benefits); Executive shall be reimbursed
for any expenses incurred by him pursuant to Section 4.04 through the effective
date of such termination; Executive shall be paid $700 per month (or a prorated
portion thereof) for the automobile to be used by Executive from the effective
date of such termination until the later of (i) one year after the effective
date of such termination and (ii) the date on which the then-current Initial
Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, would have expired; and all stock
options granted to Executive shall immediately vest and be exercisable as of,
and for a period of twelve months after, the effective date of such termination.

            6.03 "Disability" Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Disability" means any mental or physical condition that results in the
Executive becoming unable to perform the essential functions of his position,
with reasonable accommodation, for a period of at least ninety (90) days. The
Executive shall be deemed to have a Disability at the end of such ninety (90)
day period.

                                       11

            6.04 Surrender of Records and Property. Upon termination of
Executive's employment by Executive or by the Company, for any reason or for no
reason, Executive shall deliver promptly to the Company all records, manuals,
books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports,
data, tables, and calculations, and copies thereof, in whatever medium, which
are the property of Employer or which relate in any way to the business,
products, practices, techniques, customers, suppliers, functions or operations
of Employer, and all other property and Confidential Information of Employer,
including, but not limited to, all documents which in whole or in part contain
any Confidential Information of Employer, which in any of these cases are in his
possession or under his control.

            6.05 Resignation. If the Executive's employment is terminated for
any reason under the terms of this Agreement, he shall be deemed to resign (i)
if a member, from the Board of Directors of the Company and any subsidiary of
the Company or any other board to which he has been appointed or nominated by or
on behalf of the Company and (ii) from any position with the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, including, but not limited to, as an officer of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries.

            6.05 Successor. The Company, or any Person which controls the
Company, shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
or assets of the Company by written agreement expressly to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company
and the Subsidiary would be required to perform if no such succession had
occurred. Failure of the Company or a controlling entity to obtain such written
agreement prior to the effective date of any such succession followed by the

                                       12

failure of the successor to honor this Agreement shall be a breach of this
Agreement and shall entitle Executive to the rights and benefits hereunder as
though he had terminated his employment with Employer for Good Reason, whether
or not he terminates his employment with Employer.

      7. Injunctive Relief; Arbitration.

            7.01 Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees that (i) any breach or
threatened breach of Sections 5 or 6.04 shall be a material breach of this
Agreement, (ii) such breach will cause substantial harm to Employer and/or its
customers, the amount of which will be difficult to determine and compute, (iii)
the remedies of Employer at law for such breach would be inadequate to fully
compensate Employer for the harm caused thereby and (iv) in addition to, but not
to the exclusion of any other available remedy, Employer shall have the right to
enforce the provisions of Sections 5 and 6.04 by applying for and obtaining
temporary and permanent restraining orders, injunctions, decrees of specific
performance and other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction
without the necessity of filing a bond therefor or proving irreparable harm.

            7.02 Arbitration. Except as set forth in Section 7.01, any claim or
dispute of any nature between the parties to this Agreement arising directly or
indirectly from the relationship created by this Agreement shall be resolved
exclusively by arbitration in New York, New York, in accordance with the
applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. The fees of the
arbitrator(s) and other costs (not including attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred by the parties in connection with such arbitration shall be paid by the
party which is unsuccessful in such arbitration. The decision of the
arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon all parties. Judgment of the award

                                       13

rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. If any dispute is submitted to arbitration, each party shall, not later
than 30 days before the date set for hearing, provide to the other parties and
to the arbitrator(s) a copy of all exhibits upon which the party intends to rely
at the hearing and a list of all Persons each party intends to call at the
hearing.

      8. Indemnification.

            8.01 Indemnification. Employer desires to have Executive serve as an
executive officer of the Company and the Subsidiary and as a member of the
Management Committee of the Company and as a member of the Boards of Directors
of the Company and the Subsidiary, free from any undue concern for
unpredictable, inappropriate or unreasonable legal risks and personal
liabilities by his acting in good faith in the performance of his duties to the
Company and the Subsidiary and will, therefore, (a) indemnify Executive to the
fullest extent permitted under New York law, (b) advance all expenses incurred
by Executive in defending any action or proceeding to which Executive is a party
by reason of the fact that he was or is a director or officer of the Company or
the Subsidiary to the fullest extent permitted under New York law, and (c)
purchase and maintain for the benefit of Executive directors and officers
liability insurance policies and errors and omissions insurance policies in
reasonable amounts from established and reputable insurers.

            8.02 Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification
provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other
rights to which Executive may be entitled under any Articles of Incorporation,
Bylaws, agreement or resolution of shareholders or directors, the Business
Corporation Law of the State of New York, or otherwise.

            8.03 Survival. All agreements and obligations of Employer contained
in this Section 8 shall continue during the Term and shall continue thereafter

                                       14

so long as Executive shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
arbitral, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Executive
was serving as a director or officer of the Company or the Subsidiary.

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this ___ day of __________, 2005, by Gales
Industries Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the
"Company"), with Peter Rettaliata (hereinafter call the "Holder"):

      The Company has adopted a 2005 Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Said Plan, as
it may hereafter be amended and continued, is incorporated herein by reference
and made part of this Agreement. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

      The Board, which in the absence of a Committee is charged with the
administration of the Plan pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, has determined
that it would be to the advantage and interest of the Company to grant the
option provided for herein to the Holder as an inducement to remain in the
service of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and as an incentive for
increased efforts during such service.

      NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the
Holder as of the date hereof an option (the "Option") to purchase all or any
part of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.0001 per
share, upon the following terms and conditions:

      1. The Option shall continue in force through _____________, 2015 (the
"Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated as provided herein and in the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the right to exercise the Options shall
vest as indicated below and the exercise price per share of the Options vesting
as of any date shall be the greater of twenty-two ($.22) cents per share and the
amount indicated below:

       Date          # of Shares Which Vest             Exercise Price

                                       20

For purposes hereof, FMV refers to the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the
date indicated.

      (a) Except as provided hereinbelow, the Option may not be exercised unless
the Holder is then an employee (including officers and directors who are
employees), non-employee director, consultant, advisor, agent or independent
representative of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any
combination thereof and unless the Holder has remained in the continuous employ
or service thereof from the date of grant.

      (b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Stock Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes
exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value of the Common
Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Stock
Options granted to Holder prior to the date hereof (whether under the Plan or
any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first
become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall
nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

2. In the event that the employment or service of the Holder shall be terminated
prior to the Expiration Date (otherwise than by reason of death or disability),
the Option may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, be exercised (to the
extent that the Holder was entitled to do so at the termination of this
employment or service) at any time within three months after such termination,
but not after the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if such termination
shall have been for cause or voluntarily by the Holder and without the consent
of the Company or any subsidiary corporation thereof, as the case may be (which
consent shall be presumed in the case of normal retirement) or voluntarily by
the Holder and Holder accepts employment with a competitor of the Company, the
Option and all rights of the Holder hereunder, to the extent not theretofore
exercised, shall forthwith terminate immediately upon such termination. Nothing
in this Agreement shall confer upon the Holder any right to continue in the
employ or service of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or affect the
right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate his employment or service at
any time.

3. If the Holder shall (a) die while he is employed by or serving the Company or
a corporation which is a subsidiary thereof or within three months after the
termination of such position (other than termination for cause, or voluntarily
on his part and without the Consent of the Company or subsidiary corporation
thereof, as the case may be, which consent shall be presumed in the case of
normal retirement or voluntarily by the Holder and Holder accepts employment
with a competitor of the Company), or (b) become permanently and totally
disabled within the meaning of Section 22 (e) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), while employed by or serving any such company,
and if the Option was otherwise exercisable, immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event, then such Option may be exercised as set forth herein by the
Holder or by the person or persons to whom the Holder's rights under the Option
pass by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such right, by his
executors or administrators, at any time within one year after the date of death
of the original Holder, or one year after the date of permanent or total
disability, but in either case, not later than the Expiration Date.

                                       21

4. (a) The Holder may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the
shares then purchasable hereunder by giving the Company written notice in the
form annexed, as provided in paragraph 8 hereof, of such exercise. Such notice
shall specify the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised and
shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the
exercise price of such shares multiplied by the number of shares as to which the
Option is being exercised; provided that, if permitted by the Board, the
purchase price may be paid, in whole or in part, by surrender or delivery to the
Company of securities of the Company having a fair market value on the date of
the exercise equal to the portion of the purchase price being so paid. In such
event fair market value should be determined pursuant to the Plan.

      (b) The Holder shall, upon notification of the amount due, pay promptly
any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax
requirements. In the event such amount is not paid promptly, the Company shall
have the right to apply from the purchase price paid any taxes required by law
to be withheld by the Company with respect to such payment and the number of
shares to be issued by the Company will be reduced accordingly.

5. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a change in
the outstanding shares of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, split-up,
split-down, reverse split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination
or exchange of shares, spin-off, reorganization, liquidation or the like, then
the aggregate number of shares and price per unit subject to the Option shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive.

6. This Option shall be nontransferable and shall no be assignable, alienable,
saleable or otherwise transferable by the Holder other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution except pursuant to a domestic relations order
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. During the life of the Holder,
this Option shall be exercisable only by him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent the Option is deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Holder shall
be permitted to transfer such Option to family members or family trusts
established by the Holder. Except as otherwise provided for herein, in the event
that the Holder terminates employment with the Company to assume a position with
a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution, the
Holder may nominate a third party, including but not limited to a "blind" trust,
to act on behalf or and for the benefit of the Holder with respect to the
Option. In addition, the Holder may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
exercise the rights of the Holder and receive any distributions upon the death
of the Holder.

7. Neither the Holder nor in the event of his death, any person entitled to
exercise his rights, shall have any of the rights of a member with respect to
the shares subject to the Option until shares have been registered in the name
of the Holder or his estate, as the case may be.

8. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed
to the Company in care of its Chairman, Michael Gales, and any notice to the

                                       22

Holder shall be addressed to him at his address now on file with the Company, or
to such other address as either may last have designated to the other by notice
as provided herein. Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given on the
second business day after mailing, by registered or certified mail, at a post
office or branch post office within the United States.

9. In the event that any question or controversy shall arise with respect to the
nature, scope or extent of any one or more rights conferred by this Option, the
determination by the Board, or if one had been appointed, the Committee (as
constituted at the time of such determination) of the rights of the Holder shall
be conclusive, final and binding upon the Holder and upon any other person who
shall assert any right pursuant to this Option.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of the
26th day of September, 2005, by and among Gales Industries Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Air Industries Machining, Corp., a New
York corporation (the "Subsidiary"), and Dario Peragallo, a resident of the
State of New York ("Executive"). The Company and the Subsidiary are sometimes
referred to herein jointly as the "Employer".

      WHEREAS, the Employer wishes to employ Executive on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Executive wishes to be retained and
employed by the Employer on such terms and conditions.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective
undertakings of the Employer and Executive set forth below, the Employer and
Executive hereby agree as follows:

      1. Employment. The Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby
accepts such employment and agrees to perform services for the Employer, for the
period and on the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

      2. Term. Unless terminated at an earlier date in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement, the initial term of Executive's
employment hereunder shall be a period of five (5) years commencing on the
effective date (the "Effective Date") of the Company's acquisition of the shares
of the Subsidiary (the "Initial Term"). This Agreement shall be automatically
extended for successive three (3) one year periods (each, a "Renewal Term", and
together with the Initial Term, the "Term") unless (i) any party objects to such
extension by no less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice to the other
parties at any time prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal
Term, as the case may be, or (ii) this Agreement is terminated at an earlier
date in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.

      3. Position and Duties.

            3.01 Service with the Employer. The Employer hereby employs
Executive in an executive capacity during the Term with the title of Executive
Vice President of Manufacturing and Production of the Subsidiary, and Executive
hereby accepts such employment and undertakes and agrees to serve in such
capacities during the Term. In addition, the Company agrees to use its best
efforts to cause Executive to be elected as a member of the Boards of Directors
of both the Company and the Subsidiary. In such capacities, Executive shall have
such powers, perform such duties and fulfill such responsibilities typically
associated with such positions in other publicly held companies.

            3.02 Performance of Duties. Executive agrees to serve Employer to
the best of his ability and to devote his full time, attention and efforts to
the business and affairs of the Employer during the Term. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive shall not be precluded from accepting service as a director
of other businesses or community organizations or from the management of his
investments, provided, however, that any such business shall not be competitive
with the Company and such service shall not detract from Executive's performance
or time commitment hereunder. Executive shall report directly to the Executive
Chairman and the Board of Directors of the Company and to the Board of Directors
of the Subsidiary, as the case may be.

            3.03 Key-man Life Insurance. Should the Company determine to obtain
key-man life insurance payable to the Company in the event of the death of
Executive, Executive agrees to cooperate with such effort.

                                       2

      4. Compensation.

            4.01 Base Salary. As base compensation for all services to be
rendered by Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Executive
an annual base salary, which annual base salary shall be $230,000 per year for
the initial twelve-month period of the Term (as adjusted pursuant to this
Section 4.01, the "Base Salary"), which Base Salary shall be paid on a weekly
basis in accordance with the Company's normal payroll procedures and policies,
subject to applicable deductions as required by law. The amount of the
Executive's Base Salary (a) shall be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors
of the Company, (b) shall be increased annually from the amount of the Base
Salary paid to Executive during the prior twelve-month period (each, a "Prior
Period") of the Term on the basis, inter alia, of the profitability and
performance of the Company, on a consolidated basis, during such Prior Period
(as compared to the profitability and performance of the Company, on a
consolidated basis, during the twelve-month period prior to such Prior Period),
which increase shall in no event be less than five percent (5%) of the amount of
the Base Salary paid to Executive during such Prior Period, provided that
Operating Profits during such Prior Period are at least five percent (5%)
greater than the Operating Profits during the twelve-month period prior to such
Prior Period and (c) shall under no circumstance be reduced from the amount of
the Base Salary paid to Executive during the applicable Prior Period. "Operating
Profits" means the consolidated net income during the applicable period, as
reported on the Company's consolidated financial statements, plus current
interest expense, noncash expenses related to any employee stock ownership plan
established by the Company, provisions for taxes based on income, any
extraordinary losses for such period, minus any extraordinary gains for such
period, but without adjustment for any noncash income or noncash charges which
are classified as such under generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (other than noncash expenses related to any employee stock
ownership plan established by the Company).

                                       3

            4.02 Annual Bonus. In addition to Base Salary, the Company shall pay
to Executive an annual bonus. The amount of the annual bonus to be paid to
Executive with respect to any twelve-month period during the Term shall be
determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, provided,
however, that the amount of such annual bonus shall be reasonably predicated on
Executive's performance and the achievement by the Company of its operating
targets as set forth in the applicable budget adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Company in consultation with Executive. In addition, Executive shall
participate in all other bonus programs that Employer may adopt from time to
time in which senior employees are entitled to participate.

            4.03 Participation in Benefit Plans. (a) The Company will either
pay, or reimburse Executive, for the amount of the premiums due for a long-term
disability policy providing benefits of no less than one-half of Executive's
salary until age 65 with respect to Executive and a life insurance policy on the
life of Executive. Such life insurance policy will pay Executive's designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries no less than two times the amount of the Base
Salary that was being paid to Executive at the time of his death. In addition,
Executive shall also be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans or
programs offered to senior employees of Employer (to the extent that Executive
meets the requirements for each such plan or program), including without
limitation participation in any health, disability, dental, eye care, 401(k),
deferred compensation and other similar plans (together with the life insurance
and disability policies, "Benefits"), as such plans and programs may be or have
been adopted from time to time.

                                       4

            (b) Employer intends to implement a plan relating to future
acquisitions of other businesses, pursuant to which a portion of a corporate
overhead charge implemented in connection with each acquisition will be
allocated in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors to compensation for
executive-level employees of the Company. Upon adoption of such plan, it shall
provide that Executive will be entitled to no less than 15% of the portion of
the corporate overhead charged allocated to executive-level compensation with
respect to each such acquisition consummated at any time during the period from
the date of adoption of such plan until the date on which the Employer's
obligations to pay Benefits has terminated pursuant to Section 6.02.

            4.04 Automobile and Other Expenses. The Company will pay to
Executive no less than $700 per month (adjusted annually for inflation, as
determined by the Company's Board of Directors) during the Term as reimbursement
for business-related operating expenses for an automobile to be used by
Executive, including without limitation automobile lease payments, insurance,
service and repairs in the ordinary course. In addition, the Company shall pay
or reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him
in the performance of his duties under this Agreement, subject to the
presentment and approval of appropriate itemized expense statements, receipts,
vouchers or other supporting documentation in accordance with the Company's
normal policies.

            4.05 Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to no less paid vacation
than other senior employees of the Company receive pursuant to the Company's
standard vacation policies, provided, however, that Executive shall be entitled
to no less than three (3) weeks of paid vacation during each twelve (12) month
period during the Term.

                                       5

            4.06 Stock Options and Other Incentive Compensation. To further the
attainment of the Company's long-term profit and growth objectives, the Company
hereby grants Executive, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
options to purchase such number of shares of common stock of the Company as will
convert into 1,200,000 shares of common stock (the "Common Stock") of the public
entity with which the Company merges upon acquisition of the Subsidiary. The
exercise price of 150,000 of such options shall be twenty-two cents and the
exercise price of the remaining options shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of the Option Agreement being delivered simultaneously herewith.
In addition, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all other stock
option, revenue sharing, profit sharing, long-term accumulation and/or stock
based plans or programs that the Company or the Subsidiary may adopt from time
to time. For purposes of any Common Stock options or other similar programs to
be granted hereunder, such Common Stock and rights shall be defined to include
the Common Stock of any successor corporation or other entity into which the
Company is merged, or which acquires substantially all the assets of the
Company.

      5. Additional Covenants.

            5.01 Acknowledgments and Stipulations. Executive acknowledges that
he is agreeing to the covenants set forth in this Section 5 (a) in consideration
of the substantial economic benefits derived by Executive under the terms of
this Agreement, (b) in recognition that the services rendered by Executive to
Employer will be unique, as are Executive's abilities, skills and experience,
(c) in recognition that, as a result of his employment, Executive will acquire
and participate in the creation of knowledge and information of a confidential
and/or proprietary nature relating to the business of the Company and its
affiliates, which is valuable to the Company because the Company will expend
substantial time, effort and money to develop such knowledge and information,
(d) to induce Employer to employ Executive and disclose certain of such
information to Executive, and (e) to induce Employer to enter into this
Agreement.

                                       6

            5.02 Nonsolicitation of Customers and Executives. At all times
during the term of Executive's employment with the Employer and for a period of
twelve (12) months following the termination of such employment pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(f) hereto, (a) Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person,
solicit or attempt to solicit the business or patronage of, or interfere with
the business relationship of the Employer with any customer of the Employer, and
(b) Executive shall not directly or indirectly cause any other person to employ,
solicit, disturb, entice away, or in any other manner persuade any employee of
the Employer or its affiliates to discontinue or alter his or her relationship
with the Employer.

            5.03 Noncompetition. At all times during the term of Executive's
employment with the Employer and for a period of twelve (12) months following
the termination of such employment for any reason other than a termination of
this Agreement by the Company without cause, Executive whether individually, as
a director, manager, member, stockholder, partner, owner, employee, consultant
or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, shall not engage, directly
or indirectly through any other person, in any business, enterprise or
employment which competes with the business of the Employer. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the business of the Employer is of a worldwide
nature and that any geographic limitation on the foregoing covenant would be
ineffective to adequately protect the interests of the Employer. Executive
further acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing covenant is an integral part
of his agreement to be employed hereunder, is fair and reasonable in light of
all of the facts and circumstances of the relationship between Executive and the
Employer. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction determines that,
notwithstanding the foregoing acknowledgments, the scope of the restricted
activities of the foregoing covenant is excessive or not enforceable, or that

                                       7

the foregoing covenant is not enforceable unless it is subject to a geographic
limitation, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect the maximum
restrictions on activities and geographic scope allowable pursuant to such
court's determination. Nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall be construed
as limiting the scope of this Section 5.

            5.04 Limitation on Covenant not to Compete. Ownership by Executive,
as a passive investment, of less than two percent (2.00%) of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of any corporation, with a cost basis to Executive of
less than $250,000, listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded
in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.

            5.05 Confidential Information. Executive agrees that during and
after the period of his employment, he will not, without the authorization of
the Company, divulge, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other
than as necessary or desirable for the business of the Employer pursuant to his
responsibilities to the Employer during the Term, any information of a
confidential nature pertaining in any way to the Employer's business, products,
practices, techniques, customers, suppliers, functions or operations (the
"Confidential Information"), except to the extent that such Confidential
Information (a) was disclosed to Executive by a third party who did not obtain
the same directly or indirectly from the Company or one of its affiliates, (b)
was known by Executive prior to disclosure by the Employer, (c) at or after the
time of disclosure, is or becomes generally available to the public (other than
as a result of its disclosure by Executive), (d) is required to be disclosed by
Executive pursuant to applicable law or an order of a governing authority
applicable to Executive.

                                       8

      6. Termination.

            6.01 Grounds for Termination. This Agreement shall terminate prior
to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term upon the occurrence of
any of the following events at any time during such Initial Term or Renewal
Term:

                  (a) The effective date of Executive's voluntary resignation,
for which Executive agrees to give at least 30 days' prior written notice to the
Company;

                  (b) Executive's death;

                  (c) Executive's Disability (as hereinafter defined);

                  (d) Executive elects to terminate his employment 30 or more
days after Executive gives the Company written notice of his intent to terminate
his employment ("Notice of Good Reason") for any of the following reasons (each,
a "Good Reason"), provided that the Company has not eliminated the circumstances
constituting Good Reason prior to the effective date of such resignation: (1) a
material adverse alteration in the nature or status of Executive's title, duties
or responsibilities; (2) a material adverse reduction in Executive's Base Salary
and Benefits (excluding contingent salary and bonuses); (3) a requirement that
Executive be based at a work location more than 50 miles from the current site
of Employer (unless such new work location is closer to Executive's residence
than the current site is); (4) the failure by the Company to pay to Executive
any portion of Executive's compensation then due and payable; or (5) any failure
by Employer to comply with the material provisions of this Agreement. The Notice
of Good Reason shall indicate the specific provision above that Executive is
relying upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Good Reason under the provision so
indicated;

                  (e) Executive's termination by Employer without Cause (as
hereinafter defined);

                                       9

                  (f) Executive's termination by Employer for Cause. For the
purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means, as determined by the Board (or its
designee), with respect to conduct during the Executive's employment or service
relationship with the Company or its affiliates, whether or not committed during
the Term, (i) commission of a felony by Executive; (ii) acts of dishonesty by
Executive resulting or intending to result in personal gain or enrichment at the
expense of the Company or its subsidiaries; (iii) conduct by Executive in
connection with his duties hereunder that is fraudulent, unlawful or grossly
negligent, including, but not limited to, acts of discrimination; (iv) engaging
in personal conduct by Executive (including but not limited to employee
harassment or discrimination, the use or possession at work of any illegal
controlled substance) which seriously discredits or damages the Company or its
subsidiaries; and (v) breach of the Executive's covenants set forth in Section 5
before termination of employment; provided, that, the Executive shall have
fifteen (15) days after notice from the Company to cure the deficiency leading
to the Cause determination (except with respect to (i) above), if curable. A
termination for "Cause" shall be effective immediately or on such later date set
forth by the Company in the notice of termination.

            6.02 Severance. If Executive's employment is terminated:

            (a) as a result of Sections 6.01(b) and (f), then the Company shall
pay to Executive his full Base Salary, bonuses for the calendar year (or
employment period) prior to the year (or employment period) in which such
termination occurs and Benefits prorated through the effective date of such
termination, and Executive shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred by him
pursuant to Section 4.04 through the termination date; or

            (b) as a result of Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d) or 6.01(e), then the
Company shall pay to Executive or Executive's estate (1) his full Base Salary,
bonuses for the calendar year (or employment period) prior to the year (or
employment period) in which such termination occurs, pro-rated bonuses for the

                                       10

current year (or period) and Benefits prorated through the effective date of
such termination and (2) additional Base Salary, payable in monthly
installments, plus additional Benefits, for the period from the effective date
of such termination until the later of (i) one year after the effective date of
such termination and (ii) the date on which the then-current Initial Term or
Renewal Term, as the case may be, would have expired (provided, however, if
participation by Executive in any Benefit plan or program after the termination
of his employment is not permitted under such plan or program, then the Company
will provide him with the equivalent benefits); Executive shall be reimbursed
for any expenses incurred by him pursuant to Section 4.04 through the effective
date of such termination; Executive shall be paid $700 per month (or a prorated
portion thereof) for the automobile to be used by Executive from the effective
date of such termination until the later of (i) one year after the effective
date of such termination and (ii) the date on which the then-current Initial
Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, would have expired; and all stock
options granted to Executive shall immediately vest and be exercisable as of,
and for a period of twelve months after, the effective date of such termination.

            6.03 "Disability" Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Disability" means any mental or physical condition that results in the
Executive becoming unable to perform the essential functions of his position,
with reasonable accommodation, for a period of at least ninety (90) days. The
Executive shall be deemed to have a Disability at the end of such ninety (90)
day period.

            6.04 Surrender of Records and Property. Upon termination of
Executive's employment by Executive or by the Company, for any reason or for no
reason, Executive shall deliver promptly to the Company all records, manuals,
books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports,
data, tables, and calculations, and copies thereof, in whatever medium, which

                                       11

are the property of Employer or which relate in any way to the business,
products, practices, techniques, customers, suppliers, functions or operations
of Employer, and all other property and Confidential Information of Employer,
including, but not limited to, all documents which in whole or in part contain
any Confidential Information of Employer, which in any of these cases are in his
possession or under his control.

            6.05 Resignation. If the Executive's employment is terminated for
any reason under the terms of this Agreement, he shall be deemed to resign (i)
if a member, from the Board of Directors of the Company and any subsidiary of
the Company or any other board to which he has been appointed or nominated by or
on behalf of the Company and (ii) from any position with the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, including, but not limited to, as an officer of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries.

            6.05 Successor. The Company, or any Person which controls the
Company, shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
or assets of the Company by written agreement expressly to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company
and the Subsidiary would be required to perform if no such succession had
occurred. Failure of the Company or a controlling entity to obtain such written
agreement prior to the effective date of any such succession followed by the
failure of the successor to honor this Agreement shall be a breach of this
Agreement and shall entitle Executive to the rights and benefits hereunder as
though he had terminated his employment with Employer for Good Reason, whether
or not he terminates his employment with Employer.

      7. Injunctive Relief; Arbitration.

                                       12

            7.01 Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees that (i) any breach or
threatened breach of Sections 5 or 6.04 shall be a material breach of this
Agreement, (ii) such breach will cause substantial harm to Employer and/or its
customers, the amount of which will be difficult to determine and compute, (iii)
the remedies of Employer at law for such breach would be inadequate to fully
compensate Employer for the harm caused thereby and (iv) in addition to, but not
to the exclusion of any other available remedy, Employer shall have the right to
enforce the provisions of Sections 5 and 6.04 by applying for and obtaining
temporary and permanent restraining orders, injunctions, decrees of specific

                          GALES INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this ___ day of __________, 2005, by Gales
Industries Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the
"Company"), with Dario Peragallo (hereinafter call the "Holder"):

      The Company has adopted a 2005 Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Said Plan, as
it may hereafter be amended and continued, is incorporated herein by reference
and made part of this Agreement. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

      The Board, which in the absence of a Committee is charged with the
administration of the Plan pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, has determined
that it would be to the advantage and interest of the Company to grant the
option provided for herein to the Holder as an inducement to remain in the
service of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and as an incentive for
increased efforts during such service.

      NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the
Holder as of the date hereof an option (the "Option") to purchase all or any
part of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.0001 per
share, upon the following terms and conditions:

1. The Option shall continue in force through _____________, 2015 (the
"Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated as provided herein and in the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the right to exercise the Options shall
vest as indicated below and the exercise price per share of the Options vesting
as of any date shall be greater of twenty-two ($.22) cents per share and the
amount indicated below:

       Date         # of Shares Which Vest             Exercise Price
       ----         ----------------------             --------------

                                       20

For purposes hereof, FMV refers to the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the
date indicated.

      (a) Except as provided hereinbelow, the Option may not be exercised unless
the Holder is then an employee (including officers and directors who are
employees), non-employee director, consultant, advisor, agent or independent
representative of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any
combination thereof and unless the Holder has remained in the continuous employ
or service thereof from the date of grant.

      (b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Stock Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes
exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value of the Common
Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Stock
Options granted to Holder prior to the date hereof (whether under the Plan or
any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first
become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall
nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

2. In the event that the employment or service of the Holder shall be terminated
prior to the Expiration Date (otherwise than by reason of death or disability),
the Option may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, be exercised (to the
extent that the Holder was entitled to do so at the termination of this
employment or service) at any time within three months after such termination,
but not after the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if such termination
shall have been for cause or voluntarily by the Holder and without the consent
of the Company or any subsidiary corporation thereof, as the case may be (which
consent shall be presumed in the case of normal retirement) or voluntarily by
the Holder and Holder accepts employment with a competitor of the Company, the
Option and all rights of the Holder hereunder, to the extent not theretofore
exercised, shall forthwith terminate immediately upon such termination. Nothing
in this Agreement shall confer upon the Holder any right to continue in the
employ or service of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or affect the
right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate his employment or service at
any time.

3. If the Holder shall (a) die while he is employed by or serving the Company or
a corporation which is a subsidiary thereof or within three months after the
termination of such position (other than termination for cause, or voluntarily
on his part and without the Consent of the Company or subsidiary corporation
thereof, as the case may be, which consent shall be presumed in the case of
normal retirement or voluntarily by the Holder and Holder accepts employment
with a competitor of the Company), or (b) become permanently and totally
disabled within the meaning of Section 22 (e) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), while employed by or serving any such company,
and if the Option was otherwise exercisable, immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event, then such Option may be exercised as set forth herein by the
Holder or by the person or persons to whom the Holder's rights under the Option
pass by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such right, by his
executors or administrators, at any time within one year after the date of death
of the original Holder, or one year after the date of permanent or total
disability, but in either case, not later than the Expiration Date.

                                       21

4. (a) The Holder may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the
shares then purchasable hereunder by giving the Company written notice in the
form annexed, as provided in paragraph 8 hereof, of such exercise. Such notice
shall specify the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised and
shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the
exercise price of such shares multiplied by the number of shares as to which the
Option is being exercised; provided that, if permitted by the Board, the
purchase price may be paid, in whole or in part, by surrender or delivery to the
Company of securities of the Company having a fair market value on the date of
the exercise equal to the portion of the purchase price being so paid. In such
event fair market value should be determined pursuant to the Plan.

      (b) The Holder shall, upon notification of the amount due, pay promptly
any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax
requirements. In the event such amount is not paid promptly, the Company shall
have the right to apply from the purchase price paid any taxes required by law
to be withheld by the Company with respect to such payment and the number of
shares to be issued by the Company will be reduced accordingly.

5. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a change in
the outstanding shares of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, split-up,
split-down, reverse split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination
or exchange of shares, spin-off, reorganization, liquidation or the like, then
the aggregate number of shares and price per unit subject to the Option shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive.

6. This Option shall be nontransferable and shall no be assignable, alienable,
saleable or otherwise transferable by the Holder other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution except pursuant to a domestic relations order
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. During the life of the Holder,
this Option shall be exercisable only by him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent the Option is deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Holder shall
be permitted to transfer such Option to family members or family trusts
established by the Holder. Except as otherwise provided for herein, in the event
that the Holder terminates employment with the Company to assume a position with
a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution, the
Holder may nominate a third party, including but not limited to a "blind" trust,
to act on behalf or and for the benefit of the Holder with respect to the
Option. In addition, the Holder may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
exercise the rights of the Holder and receive any distributions upon the death
of the Holder.

7. Neither the Holder nor in the event of his death, any person entitled to
exercise his rights, shall have any of the rights of a member with respect to
the shares subject to the Option until shares have been registered in the name
of the Holder or his estate, as the case may be.

8. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed
to the Company in care of its Chairman, Michael Gales, and any notice to the

                                       22

Holder shall be addressed to him at his address now on file with the Company, or
to such other address as either may last have designated to the other by notice
as provided herein. Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given on the
second business day after mailing, by registered or certified mail, at a post
office or branch post office within the United States.

9. In the event that any question or controversy shall arise with respect to the
nature, scope or extent of any one or more rights conferred by this Option, the
determination by the Board, or if one had been appointed, the Committee (as
constituted at the time of such determination) of the rights of the Holder shall
be conclusive, final and binding upon the Holder and upon any other person who
shall assert any right pursuant to this Option.

      (a) Plan Administrator.

            (i) Administration with Respect to Directors and Officers. With
      respect to grants of Awards to Directors or Employees who are also
      Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by
      (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee
      shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws
      and to permit such grants and related transactions under the Plan to be
      exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule
      16b-3. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its
      designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.

            (ii) Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees.
      With respect to grants of Awards to Employees or Consultants who are
      neither Directors nor Officers of the Company, the Plan shall be
      administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board,
      which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the
      Applicable Laws. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in
      its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. The Board
      may authorize one or more Officers to grant such Awards and may limit such
      authority as the Board determines from time to time. Except for the power
      to amend the Plan as provided in Section 13 and except for determinations
      regarding Employees who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or
      certain key Employees who are, or may become, as determined by the Board
      or the Committee, subject to Section 162(m) of the Code compensation
      deductibility limit, and except as may otherwise be required under
      applicable stock exchange rules, the Board or the Committee may delegate
      any or all of its duties, powers and authority under the Plan pursuant to
      such conditions or limitations as the Board of the Committee may establish
      to any Officer or Officers of the Company

            (iii) Administration Errors. In the event an Award is granted in a
      manner inconsistent with the provisions of this subsection, such Award
      shall be presumptively valid as of its grant date to the extent permitted
      by Applicable Laws.

      (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to Applicable Laws and the
provisions of the Plan (including any other powers given to the Administrator
hereunder), and except as otherwise provided by the Board, the Administrator
shall have the authority, in its discretion:

            (i) to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom
      Awards may be granted from time to time hereunder;

            (ii) to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted
      hereunder;

                                       6

            (iii) to determine the number of Shares or the amount of other
      consideration to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

            (iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

            (v) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted
      hereunder;

            (vi) to amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted under the
      Plan, provided that any amendment that would adversely affect the
      Grantee's rights under an outstanding Award shall not be made without the
      Grantee's written consent;

            (vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards
      granted pursuant to the Plan, including without limitation, any notice of
      Award or Award Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan;

            (viii) to establish additional terms, conditions, rules or
      procedures to accommodate the rules or laws of applicable foreign
      jurisdictions and to afford Grantees favorable treatment under such laws;
      provided, however, that no Award shall be granted under any such
      additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures with terms or conditions
      which are inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan; and

            (ix) to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of
      the Plan, as the Administrator deems appropriate.

      (c) Effect of Administrator's Decision. All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Administrator shall be conclusive and binding on all
persons.

5. Eligibility, Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to
Employees, Directors and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted
only to Employees of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary. An Employee,
Director or Consultant who has been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible,
be granted additional Awards. Awards may be granted to such Employees, Directors
or Consultants who are residing in foreign jurisdictions as the Administrator
may determine from time to time.

6. Terms and Conditions of Awards.

      (a) Type of Awards. The Administrator is authorized under the Plan to
award any type of arrangement to an Employee, Director or Consultant that is not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or
might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) an Option, a SAR or similar right
with a fixed or variable price related to the Fair Market Value of the Shares
and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the
occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or
other conditions, or (iii) any other security with the value derived from the
value of the Shares. Such awards include, without limitation, Options, SARs,
sales or bonuses of Restricted Stock, Dividend Equivalent Rights, Performance
Units or Performance Shares, and an Award may consist of one such security or
benefit, or two (2) or more of them in any combination or alternative.

                                       7

      (b) Designation of Award. Each Award shall be designated in the Award
Agreement. In the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as either an
Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding
such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares
subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become
exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all
plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess
Options, to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing
limitation, shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For this purpose,
Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they
were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of
the date the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

      (c) Conditions of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the
Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each
Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase
provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment
(cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment
contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria. The performance
criteria established by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or
combination of, increase in share price, earnings per share, total stockholder
return, return on equity, return on assets, return on investment, net operating
income, cash flow, revenue, economic value added, personal management
objectives, or other measure of performance selected by the Administrator.
Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a payment or vesting
corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement.

      (d) Acquisitions and Other Transactions. The Administrator may issue
Awards under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding
awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with the Company or a
Related Entity acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an
additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset
purchase or other form of transaction.

      (e) Deferral of Award Payment. The Administrator may establish one or more
programs under the Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity to elect to
defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of
performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the
Grantee to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award.
The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of such
elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other
earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and
such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems
advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.

      (f) Award Exchange Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more
programs under the Plan to permit selected Grantees to exchange an Award under
the Plan for one or more other types of Awards under the Plan on such terms and
conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.

                                       8

      (g) Separate Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more
separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of
Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and conditions as
determined by the Administrator from time to time.

      (h) Early Exercise. The Award Agreement may, but need not, include a
provision whereby the Grantee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director
or Consultant to exercise any part or all of the Award prior to full vesting of
the Award. Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such exercise may be subject
to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a Related Entity or to any
other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate.

      (i) Term of Award. The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the
Award Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an Incentive Stock Option
shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. However, in
the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the
Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of
grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

      (j) Transferability of Awards. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section, all Awards under the Plan shall be nontransferable and shall not be
assignable, alienable, saleable or otherwise transferable by the Grantee other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution except pursuant to a
domestic relations order entered by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Board or the Committee may provide
that any Award of Non-Qualified Stock Options may be transferable by the
recipient to family members or family trusts established by the Grantee. The
Board or the Committee may also provide that, in the event that a Grantee
terminates employment with the Company to assume a position with a governmental,
charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution, a third party,
including but not limited to a "blind" trust, may be authorized by the Board or
the Committee to act on behalf of and for the benefit of the respective Grantee
with respect to any outstanding Awards. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section, during the life of the Grantee, Awards under the Plan shall be
exercisable only by him or her except as otherwise determined by the Board or
the Committee. In addition, if so permitted by the Board or the Committee, a
Grantee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of
the Grantee and receive any distributions under the Plan upon the death of the
Grantee.

      (k) Time of Granting Awards. The date of grant of an Award shall for all
purposes be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant
such Award, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of
the grant determination shall be given to each Employee, Director or Consultant
to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such
grant.

7. Award Exercise or Purchase Price, Consideration, Taxes and Reload Options.

      (a) Exercise or Purchase Price. The exercise or purchase price, if any,
for an Award shall be as follows:

      Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns

      classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share
      exercise price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of
      the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or (B) granted to
      any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding clause, the
      per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%)
      of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

            (ii) In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the per Share
      exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
      Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant unless otherwise
      determined by the Administrator.

            (iii) In the case of other Awards, such price as is determined by
      the Administrator.

            (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a),
      in the case of an Award issued pursuant to Section 6(d), above, the
      exercise or purchase price for the Award shall be determined in accordance
      with the principles of Section 424(a) of the Code.

      (b) Consideration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be
paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise or purchase of an Award including
the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the
case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant). In
addition to any other types of consideration the Administrator may determine,
the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares issued
under the Plan the following, provided that the portion of the consideration
equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal
consideration permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law:

            (i) cash;

            (ii) check;

            (iii) delivery of Grantee's promissory note with such recourse,
      interest, security, and redemption provisions as the Administrator
      determines is appropriate;

            (iv) if the exercise or purchase occurs on or after the Registration
      Date, surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of
      attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may require
      (including withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of
      the Award) which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or
      attestation equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to
      which said Award shall be exercised (but only to the extent that such
      exercise of the Award would not result in an accounting compensation
      charge with respect to the Shares used to pay the exercise price unless
      otherwise determined by the Administrator);

                                       10

            (v) with respect to options, if the exercise occurs on or after the
      Registration Date, payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance
      procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (A) shall provide written
      instructions to a Company designated brokerage firm to effect the
      immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the
      Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date,
      sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the
      purchased Shares and (B) shall provide written directives to the Company
      to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such
      brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction; or

            (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

      (c) Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Grantee or
other person until such Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable
to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any foreign, federal, state, or
local income and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without
limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares or the disqualifying
disposition of Shares received on exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. Upon
exercise of an Award, the Company shall withhold or collect from Grantee an
amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations.

      (d) Reload Options. In the event the exercise price or tax withholding of
an Option is satisfied by the Company or the Grantee's employer withholding
Shares otherwise deliverable to the Grantee, the Administrator may issue the
Grantee an additional Option, with terms identical to the Award Agreement under
which the Option was exercised, but at an exercise price as determined by the
Administrator in accordance with the Plan.

8. Exercise of Award.

      (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.

            (i) Any Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times
      and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator under the
      terms of the Plan and specified in the Award Agreement.

            (ii) An Award shall be deemed to be exercised upon the later of
      receipt by the Company of written notice of such exercise in accordance
      with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award
      and

            (iii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is
      exercised, including, to the extent selected, use of the broker-dealer
      sale and remittance procedure to pay the purchase price as provided in
      Section 7(b)(v). Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry
      on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
      Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote
      or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with
      respect to Shares subject to an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of an
      Option or other Award. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued)
      such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Award. No adjustment
      will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is
      prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
      the Award Agreement or Section 10, below.

                                       11

      (b) Exercise of Award Following Termination of Continuous Service.

            (i) An Award may not be exercised after the termination date of such
      Award set forth in the Award Agreement and may be exercised following the

      in the Award Agreement.

            (ii) Where the Award Agreement permits a Grantee to exercise an
      Award following the termination of the Grantee's Continuous Service for a
      specified period, the Award shall terminate to the extent not exercised on
      the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term
      of the Award, whichever occurs first.

            (iii) Any Award designated as an Incentive Stock Option to the
      extent not exercised within the time permitted by law for the exercise of
      Incentive Stock Options following the termination of a Grantee's
      Continuous Service shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Stock
      Option and thereafter shall be exercisable as such to the extent
      exercisable by its terms for the period specified in the Award Agreement.

      (c) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out
for a payment in cash or Shares, an Award previously granted, based on such
terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the
Grantee at the time that such offer is made.

9. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

      (a) Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless
the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant
thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and shall be further subject to
the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

      (b) As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require
the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any
Applicable Laws.

10. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action
by the stockholders of the Company, the Administrator may, in its discretion,
proportionately adjust the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award,
and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan
but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to
the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such outstanding Award, as well
as any other terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment for (a)
any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock
split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of

                                       12

the Shares, (b) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (c) as the
Administrator may determine in its discretion, any other transaction with
respect to Common Stock to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies; provided,
however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not
be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such
adjustment shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be
final, binding and conclusive. Except as the Administrator determines, no
issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares
subject to an Award.

11. Corporate Transactions and Related Entity Dispositions. Except as may be
provided in an Award Agreement:

      (a) The Administrator shall have the authority, exercisable either in
advance of any actual or anticipated Corporate Transaction or Related Entity
Disposition or at the time of an actual Corporate Transaction or Related Entity
Disposition and exercisable at the time of the grant of an Award under the Plan
or any time while an Award remains outstanding, to provide for the full
automatic vesting and exercisability of one or more outstanding unvested Awards
under the Plan and the release from restrictions on transfer and repurchase or
forfeiture rights of such Awards in connection with a Corporate Transaction or
Related Entity Disposition, on such terms and conditions as the Administrator
may specify. The Administrator also shall have the authority to condition any
such Award vesting and exercisability or release from such limitations upon the
subsequent termination of the Continuous Service of the Grantee within a
specified period following the effective date of the Corporate Transaction or
Related Entity Disposition. Effective upon the consummation of a Corporate
Transaction or Related Entity Disposition, all outstanding Awards under the
Plan, shall remain fully exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination
of the Award.

      (b) The portion of any Incentive Stock Option accelerated under this
Section 11 in connection with a Corporate Transaction or Related Entity
Disposition shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code
only to the extent the $ 100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code
is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the
accelerated excess portion of such Option shall be exercisable as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

12. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the
earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the
stockholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10)
years unless sooner terminated. Subject to Section 13 below, and Applicable
Laws, Awards may be granted under the Plan upon its becoming effective.

13. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.

      (a) The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. To the
extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain
stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree
as required.

                                       13

      (b) No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after
termination of the Plan.

      (c) Any amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan (including
termination of the Plan under Section 12, above) shall not affect Awards already
granted, and such Awards shall remain in full force and effect as if the Plan
had not been amended, suspended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise
between the Grantee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing
and signed by the Grantee and the Company.

14. Reservation of Shares.

      (a) The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times reserve
and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.

      (b) The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory
body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to
be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

15. No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship. The Plan shall not
confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee's Continuous
Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the
Company's right to terminate the Grantee's Continuous Service at any time, with
or without cause.

16. Unfunded Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee,
the Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or construed to create) a trust
or a separate fund or funds. The Plan shall not establish any fiduciary
relationship between the Company and any Grantee or other person. To the extent
any person holds any rights by virtue of a Award granted under the Plan, such
right (unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee) shall be no
greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

17. No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically
provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a Related
Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing
benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related
Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any
kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or
amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not a
"Retirement Plan" or "Welfare Plan" under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended.

18. Stockholder Approval. The grant of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan
shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve
(12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted excluding Incentive
Stock Options issued in substitution for outstanding Incentive Stock Options
pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code. Such stockholder approval shall be
obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. The
Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options under the Plan prior to approval

                                       14

by the stockholders, but until such approval is obtained, no such Incentive
Stock Option shall be exercisable. In the event that stockholder approval is not
obtained within the twelve (12) month period provided above, all Incentive Stock
Options previously granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as Non-Qualified
Stock Options.

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.15

                          GALES INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this 26th day of September, 2005, by Gales
Industries Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the
"Company"), with Michael A. Gales (hereinafter call the "Holder"):

      The Company has adopted a 2005 Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Said Plan, as
it may hereafter be amended and continued, is incorporated herein by reference
and made part of this Agreement. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

      The Board, which in the absence of a Committee is charged with the
administration of the Plan pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, has determined
that it would be to the advantage and interest of the Company to grant the
option provided for herein to the Holder as an inducement to remain in the
service of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and as an incentive for
increased efforts during such service.

      NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the
Holder as of the date hereof an option (the "Option") to purchase all or any
part of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.0001 per
share, upon the following terms and conditions:

1. The Option shall continue in force through September 26, 2015 (the
"Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated as provided herein and in the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the right to exercise the Options shall
vest as indicated below and the exercise price per share of the Options vesting
as of any date shall be the greater of twenty-two ($.22) cents per share and the
amount indicated below:

         Date       # of Shares Which Vest             Exercise Price
         ----       ----------------------             --------------
The date hereof             250,000                    Twenty-Two cents
September 15, 2006          250,000               Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended December 15, 2005
September 15, 2007          250,000               Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended September 15, 2006
September 15, 2008          250,000               Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended September 15, 2007
September 15, 2009          250,000               Average FMV for thirty trading
                                                   days ended September 15, 2008

For purposes hereof, FMV refers to the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the
date indicated.

      (a) Except as provided hereinbelow, the Option may not be exercised unless
the Holder is then an employee (including officers and directors who are
employees), non-employee director, consultant, advisor, agent or independent

                                       1

representative of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any
combination thereof and unless the Holder has remained in the continuous employ
or service thereof from the date of grant.

      (b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Stock Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes
exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value of the Common
Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Stock
Options granted to Holder prior to the date hereof (whether under the Plan or
any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first
become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall
nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

2. In the event that the employment or service of the Holder shall be terminated
prior to the Expiration Date (otherwise than by reason of death or disability),
the Option may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, be exercised (to the
extent that the Holder was entitled to do so at the termination of this
employment or service) at any time within three months after such termination,
but not after the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if such termination
shall have been for cause or voluntarily by the Holder and without the consent
of the Company or any subsidiary corporation thereof, as the case may be (which
consent shall be presumed in the case of normal retirement) or voluntarily by
the Holder and Holder accepts employment with a competitor of the Company, the
Option and all rights of the Holder hereunder, to the extent not theretofore
exercised, shall forthwith terminate immediately upon such termination. Nothing
in this Agreement shall confer upon the Holder any right to continue in the
employ or service of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or affect the
right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate his employment or service at
any time.

3. If the Holder shall (a) die while he is employed by or serving the Company or
a corporation which is a subsidiary thereof or within three months after the
termination of such position (other than termination for cause, or voluntarily
on his part and without the Consent of the Company or subsidiary corporation
thereof, as the case may be, which consent shall be presumed in the case of
normal retirement or voluntarily by the Holder and Holder accepts employment
with a competitor of the Company), or (b) become permanently and totally
disabled within the meaning of Section 22 (e) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), while employed by or serving any such company,
and if the Option was otherwise exercisable, immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event, then such Option may be exercised as set forth herein by the
Holder or by the person or persons to whom the Holder's rights under the Option
pass by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such right, by his
executors or administrators, at any time within one year after the date of death
of the original Holder, or one year after the date of permanent or total
disability, but in either case, not later than the Expiration Date.

4. (a) The Holder may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the
shares then purchasable hereunder by giving the Company written notice in the
form annexed, as provided in paragraph 8 hereof, of such exercise. Such notice
shall specify the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised and
shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the
exercise price of such shares multiplied by the number of shares as to which the

                                       2

Option is being exercised; provided that, if permitted by the Board, the
purchase price may be paid, in whole or in part, by surrender or delivery to the
Company of securities of the Company having a fair market value on the date of
the exercise equal to the portion of the purchase price being so paid. In such
event fair market value should be determined pursuant to the Plan.

      (b) The Holder shall, upon notification of the amount due, pay promptly
any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax
requirements. In the event such amount is not paid promptly, the Company shall
have the right to apply from the purchase price paid any taxes required by law
to be withheld by the Company with respect to such payment and the number of
shares to be issued by the Company will be reduced accordingly.

5. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a change in
the outstanding shares of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, split-up,
split-down, reverse split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination
or exchange of shares, spin-off, reorganization, liquidation or the like, then
the aggregate number of shares and price per unit subject to the Option shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive. 1.
6. This Option shall be nontransferable and shall no be assignable, alienable,
saleable or otherwise transferable by the Holder other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution except pursuant to a domestic relations order
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. During the life of the Holder,
this Option shall be exercisable only by him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent the Option is deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Holder shall
be permitted to transfer such Option to family members or family trusts
established by the Holder. Except as otherwise provided for herein, in the event
that the Holder terminates employment with the Company to assume a position with
a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution, the
Holder may nominate a third party, including but not limited to a "blind" trust,
to act on behalf or and for the benefit of the Holder with respect to the
Option. In addition, the Holder may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
exercise the rights of the Holder and receive any distributions upon the death
of the Holder.

7. Neither the Holder nor in the event of his death, any person entitled to
exercise his rights, shall have any of the rights of a member with respect to
the shares subject to the Option until shares have been registered in the name
of the Holder or his estate, as the case may be.

8. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed
to the Company in care of its Chairman, Michael Gales, and any notice to the
Holder shall be addressed to him at his address now on file with the Company, or
to such other address as either may last have designated to the other by notice
as provided herein. Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given on the
second business day after mailing, by registered or certified mail, at a post
office or branch post office within the United States.

9. In the event that any question or controversy shall arise with respect to the
nature, scope or extent of any one or more rights conferred by this Option, the
determination by the Board, or if one had been appointed, the Committee (as

                                       3

constituted at the time of such determination) of the rights of the Holder shall
be conclusive, final and binding upon the Holder and upon any other person who
shall assert any right pursuant to this Option.

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this 26th day of September, 2005, by Gales
Industries Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the
"Company"), with Louis A. Giusto (hereinafter call the "Holder"):

      The Company has adopted a 2005 Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Said Plan, as
it may hereafter be amended and continued, is incorporated herein by reference
and made part of this Agreement. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

      The Board, which in the absence of a Committee is charged with the
administration of the Plan pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, has determined
that it would be to the advantage and interest of the Company to grant the
option provided for herein to the Holder as an inducement to remain in the
service of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and as an incentive for
increased efforts during such service.

      NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the
Holder as of the date hereof an option (the "Option") to purchase all or any
part of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.0001 per
share, upon the following terms and conditions:

1. The Option shall continue in force through September 26, 2015 (the
"Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated as provided herein and in the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the right to exercise the Options shall
vest as indicated below and the exercise price per share of the Options vesting
as of any date shall be the greater of twenty-two ($.22) cents per share and the
amount indicated below:

                                                   days ended September 15, 2008

For purposes hereof, FMV refers to the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the
date indicated.

      (a) Except as provided hereinbelow, the Option may not be exercised unless
the Holder is then an employee (including officers and directors who are
employees), non-employee director, consultant, advisor, agent or independent
representative of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any
combination thereof and unless the Holder has remained in the continuous employ
or service thereof from the date of grant.

                                       1

      (b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Stock Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes
exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value of the Common
Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Stock
Options granted to Holder prior to the date hereof (whether under the Plan or
any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first
become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall
nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

2. In the event that the employment or service of the Holder shall be terminated
prior to the Expiration Date (otherwise than by reason of death or disability),
the Option may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, be exercised (to the
extent that the Holder was entitled to do so at the termination of this
employment or service) at any time within three months after such termination,
but not after the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if such termination
shall have been for cause or voluntarily by the Holder and without the consent
of the Company or any subsidiary corporation thereof, as the case may be (which
consent shall be presumed in the case of normal retirement) or voluntarily by
the Holder and Holder accepts employment with a competitor of the Company, the
Option and all rights of the Holder hereunder, to the extent not theretofore
exercised, shall forthwith terminate immediately upon such termination. Nothing
in this Agreement shall confer upon the Holder any right to continue in the
employ or service of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or affect the
right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate his employment or service at
any time.

3. If the Holder shall (a) die while he is employed by or serving the Company or
a corporation which is a subsidiary thereof or within three months after the
termination of such position (other than termination for cause, or voluntarily
on his part and without the Consent of the Company or subsidiary corporation
thereof, as the case may be, which consent shall be presumed in the case of
normal retirement or voluntarily by the Holder and Holder accepts employment
with a competitor of the Company), or (b) become permanently and totally
disabled within the meaning of Section 22 (e) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), while employed by or serving any such company,
and if the Option was otherwise exercisable, immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event, then such Option may be exercised as set forth herein by the
Holder or by the person or persons to whom the Holder's rights under the Option
pass by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such right, by his
executors or administrators, at any time within one year after the date of death
of the original Holder, or one year after the date of permanent or total
disability, but in either case, not later than the Expiration Date.

4. (a) The Holder may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the
shares then purchasable hereunder by giving the Company written notice in the
form annexed, as provided in paragraph 8 hereof, of such exercise. Such notice
shall specify the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised and
shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the
exercise price of such shares multiplied by the number of shares as to which the

                                       2

Option is being exercised; provided that, if permitted by the Board, the
purchase price may be paid, in whole or in part, by surrender or delivery to the
Company of securities of the Company having a fair market value on the date of
the exercise equal to the portion of the purchase price being so paid. In such
event fair market value should be determined pursuant to the Plan.

      (b) The Holder shall, upon notification of the amount due, pay promptly
any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax
requirements. In the event such amount is not paid promptly, the Company shall
have the right to apply from the purchase price paid any taxes required by law
to be withheld by the Company with respect to such payment and the number of
shares to be issued by the Company will be reduced accordingly.

5. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a change in
the outstanding shares of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, split-up,
split-down, reverse split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination
or exchange of shares, spin-off, reorganization, liquidation or the like, then
the aggregate number of shares and price per unit subject to the Option shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive. 1.
6. This Option shall be nontransferable and shall no be assignable, alienable,
saleable or otherwise transferable by the Holder other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution except pursuant to a domestic relations order
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. During the life of the Holder,
this Option shall be exercisable only by him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent the Option is deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Holder shall
be permitted to transfer such Option to family members or family trusts
established by the Holder. Except as otherwise provided for herein, in the event
that the Holder terminates employment with the Company to assume a position with
a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution, the
Holder may nominate a third party, including but not limited to a "blind" trust,
to act on behalf or and for the benefit of the Holder with respect to the
Option. In addition, the Holder may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
exercise the rights of the Holder and receive any distributions upon the death
of the Holder.

7. Neither the Holder nor in the event of his death, any person entitled to
exercise his rights, shall have any of the rights of a member with respect to
the shares subject to the Option until shares have been registered in the name
of the Holder or his estate, as the case may be.

8. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed
to the Company in care of its Chairman, Michael Gales, and any notice to the
Holder shall be addressed to him at his address now on file with the Company, or
to such other address as either may last have designated to the other by notice
as provided herein. Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given on the
second business day after mailing, by registered or certified mail, at a post
office or branch post office within the United States.

9. In the event that any question or controversy shall arise with respect to the
nature, scope or extent of any one or more rights conferred by this Option, the
determination by the Board, or if one had been appointed, the Committee (as

                                       3

constituted at the time of such determination) of the rights of the Holder shall
be conclusive, final and binding upon the Holder and upon any other person who
shall assert any right pursuant to this Option.

                          GALES INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this 26th day of September, 2005, by Gales
Industries Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the
"Company"), with Peter Rettaliata (hereinafter call the "Holder"):

      The Company has adopted a 2005 Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Said Plan, as
it may hereafter be amended and continued, is incorporated herein by reference
and made part of this Agreement. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

      The Board, which in the absence of a Committee is charged with the
administration of the Plan pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, has determined
that it would be to the advantage and interest of the Company to grant the
option provided for herein to the Holder as an inducement to remain in the
service of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and as an incentive for
increased efforts during such service.

      NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the
Holder as of the date hereof an option (the "Option") to purchase all or any
part of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.0001 per
share, upon the following terms and conditions:

1. The Option shall continue in force through September 26, 2015 (the
"Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated as provided herein and in the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the right to exercise the Options shall
vest as indicated below and the exercise price per share of the Options vesting
as of any date shall be the greater of twenty-two ($.22) cents per share and the
amount indicated below:

                                       1

For purposes hereof, FMV refers to the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the
date indicated.

      (a) Except as provided hereinbelow, the Option may not be exercised unless
the Holder is then an employee (including officers and directors who are
employees), non-employee director, consultant, advisor, agent or independent
representative of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any
combination thereof and unless the Holder has remained in the continuous employ
or service thereof from the date of grant.

      (b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Stock Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes
exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value of the Common
Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Stock
Options granted to Holder prior to the date hereof (whether under the Plan or
any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first
become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall
nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

2. In the event that the employment or service of the Holder shall be terminated
prior to the Expiration Date (otherwise than by reason of death or disability),
the Option may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, be exercised (to the
extent that the Holder was entitled to do so at the termination of this
employment or service) at any time within three months after such termination,
but not after the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if such termination
shall have been for cause or voluntarily by the Holder and without the consent
of the Company or any subsidiary corporation thereof, as the case may be (which
consent shall be presumed in the case of normal retirement) or voluntarily by
the Holder and Holder accepts employment with a competitor of the Company, the
Option and all rights of the Holder hereunder, to the extent not theretofore
exercised, shall forthwith terminate immediately upon such termination. Nothing
in this Agreement shall confer upon the Holder any right to continue in the
employ or service of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or affect the
right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate his employment or service at
any time.

3. If the Holder shall (a) die while he is employed by or serving the Company or
a corporation which is a subsidiary thereof or within three months after the
termination of such position (other than termination for cause, or voluntarily
on his part and without the Consent of the Company or subsidiary corporation
thereof, as the case may be, which consent shall be presumed in the case of
normal retirement or voluntarily by the Holder and Holder accepts employment
with a competitor of the Company), or (b) become permanently and totally
disabled within the meaning of Section 22 (e) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), while employed by or serving any such company,
and if the Option was otherwise exercisable, immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event, then such Option may be exercised as set forth herein by the
Holder or by the person or persons to whom the Holder's rights under the Option
pass by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such right, by his
executors or administrators, at any time within one year after the date of death
of the original Holder, or one year after the date of permanent or total
disability, but in either case, not later than the Expiration Date.

                                       2

4. (a) The Holder may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the
shares then purchasable hereunder by giving the Company written notice in the
form annexed, as provided in paragraph 8 hereof, of such exercise. Such notice
shall specify the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised and
shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the
exercise price of such shares multiplied by the number of shares as to which the
Option is being exercised; provided that, if permitted by the Board, the
purchase price may be paid, in whole or in part, by surrender or delivery to the
Company of securities of the Company having a fair market value on the date of
the exercise equal to the portion of the purchase price being so paid. In such
event fair market value should be determined pursuant to the Plan.

      (b) The Holder shall, upon notification of the amount due, pay promptly
any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax
requirements. In the event such amount is not paid promptly, the Company shall
have the right to apply from the purchase price paid any taxes required by law
to be withheld by the Company with respect to such payment and the number of
shares to be issued by the Company will be reduced accordingly.

5. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a change in
the outstanding shares of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, split-up,
split-down, reverse split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination
or exchange of shares, spin-off, reorganization, liquidation or the like, then
the aggregate number of shares and price per unit subject to the Option shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive. 1.
6. This Option shall be nontransferable and shall no be assignable, alienable,
saleable or otherwise transferable by the Holder other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution except pursuant to a domestic relations order
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. During the life of the Holder,
this Option shall be exercisable only by him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent the Option is deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Holder shall
be permitted to transfer such Option to family members or family trusts
established by the Holder. Except as otherwise provided for herein, in the event
that the Holder terminates employment with the Company to assume a position with
a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution, the
Holder may nominate a third party, including but not limited to a "blind" trust,
to act on behalf or and for the benefit of the Holder with respect to the
Option. In addition, the Holder may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
exercise the rights of the Holder and receive any distributions upon the death
of the Holder.

7. Neither the Holder nor in the event of his death, any person entitled to
exercise his rights, shall have any of the rights of a member with respect to
the shares subject to the Option until shares have been registered in the name
of the Holder or his estate, as the case may be.

8. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed
to the Company in care of its Chairman, Michael Gales, and any notice to the
Holder shall be addressed to him at his address now on file with the Company, or
to such other address as either may last have designated to the other by notice
as provided herein. Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given on the
second business day after mailing, by registered or certified mail, at a post
office or branch post office within the United States.

                                       3

9. In the event that any question or controversy shall arise with respect to the
nature, scope or extent of any one or more rights conferred by this Option, the
determination by the Board, or if one had been appointed, the Committee (as
constituted at the time of such determination) of the rights of the Holder shall
be conclusive, final and binding upon the Holder and upon any other person who
shall assert any right pursuant to this Option.

      THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this 26th day of September, 2005, by Gales

any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first
become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall
nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

2. In the event that the employment or service of the Holder shall be terminated
prior to the Expiration Date (otherwise than by reason of death or disability),
the Option may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, be exercised (to the
extent that the Holder was entitled to do so at the termination of this
employment or service) at any time within three months after such termination,
but not after the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if such termination
shall have been for cause or voluntarily by the Holder and without the consent
of the Company or any subsidiary corporation thereof, as the case may be (which
consent shall be presumed in the case of normal retirement) or voluntarily by
the Holder and Holder accepts employment with a competitor of the Company, the
Option and all rights of the Holder hereunder, to the extent not theretofore
exercised, shall forthwith terminate immediately upon such termination. Nothing
in this Agreement shall confer upon the Holder any right to continue in the
employ or service of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or affect the
right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate his employment or service at
any time.

3. If the Holder shall (a) die while he is employed by or serving the Company or
a corporation which is a subsidiary thereof or within three months after the
termination of such position (other than termination for cause, or voluntarily
on his part and without the Consent of the Company or subsidiary corporation
thereof, as the case may be, which consent shall be presumed in the case of
normal retirement or voluntarily by the Holder and Holder accepts employment
with a competitor of the Company), or (b) become permanently and totally
disabled within the meaning of Section 22 (e) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), while employed by or serving any such company,
and if the Option was otherwise exercisable, immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event, then such Option may be exercised as set forth herein by the
Holder or by the person or persons to whom the Holder's rights under the Option
pass by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such right, by his
executors or administrators, at any time within one year after the date of death
of the original Holder, or one year after the date of permanent or total
disability, but in either case, not later than the Expiration Date.

                                       2

4. (a) The Holder may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the
shares then purchasable hereunder by giving the Company written notice in the
form annexed, as provided in paragraph 8 hereof, of such exercise. Such notice
shall specify the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised and
shall be accompanied by payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the
exercise price of such shares multiplied by the number of shares as to which the
Option is being exercised; provided that, if permitted by the Board, the
purchase price may be paid, in whole or in part, by surrender or delivery to the
Company of securities of the Company having a fair market value on the date of
the exercise equal to the portion of the purchase price being so paid. In such
event fair market value should be determined pursuant to the Plan.

      (b) The Holder shall, upon notification of the amount due, pay promptly
any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax
requirements. In the event such amount is not paid promptly, the Company shall
have the right to apply from the purchase price paid any taxes required by law
to be withheld by the Company with respect to such payment and the number of
shares to be issued by the Company will be reduced accordingly.

5. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a change in
the outstanding shares of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, split-up,
split-down, reverse split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination
or exchange of shares, spin-off, reorganization, liquidation or the like, then
the aggregate number of shares and price per unit subject to the Option shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive. 1.
6. This Option shall be nontransferable and shall no be assignable, alienable,
saleable or otherwise transferable by the Holder other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution except pursuant to a domestic relations order
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. During the life of the Holder,
this Option shall be exercisable only by him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent the Option is deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Holder shall
be permitted to transfer such Option to family members or family trusts
established by the Holder. Except as otherwise provided for herein, in the event
that the Holder terminates employment with the Company to assume a position with
a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution, the
Holder may nominate a third party, including but not limited to a "blind" trust,
to act on behalf or and for the benefit of the Holder with respect to the
Option. In addition, the Holder may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
exercise the rights of the Holder and receive any distributions upon the death
of the Holder.

7. Neither the Holder nor in the event of his death, any person entitled to
exercise his rights, shall have any of the rights of a member with respect to
the shares subject to the Option until shares have been registered in the name
of the Holder or his estate, as the case may be.

8. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed
to the Company in care of its Chairman, Michael Gales, and any notice to the
Holder shall be addressed to him at his address now on file with the Company, or
to such other address as either may last have designated to the other by notice
as provided herein. Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given on the
second business day after mailing, by registered or certified mail, at a post
office or branch post office within the United States.

                                       3

9. In the event that any question or controversy shall arise with respect to the
nature, scope or extent of any one or more rights conferred by this Option, the
determination by the Board, or if one had been appointed, the Committee (as
constituted at the time of such determination) of the rights of the Holder shall
be conclusive, final and binding upon the Holder and upon any other person who
shall assert any right pursuant to this Option.

                        (iii) such reserves as Agent may reasonably deem proper
                  and necessary from time to time including, but not limited to,

      The amount derived from the sum of (x) Sections 2.1(a)(y)(i) and (ii)
minus (y) Section 2.1 (a)(y)(iii) at any time and from time to time shall be
referred to as the "Formula Amount". The Revolving Advances shall be evidenced

                  (b) Discretionary Rights. The Advance Rates may be increased
or decreased by Agent at any time and from time to time in the exercise of its
reasonable discretion. Borrower consents to any such increases or decreases and

Agent under this subsection are subject to the provisions of Section 15.2(b).

            2.2 Procedure for Revolving Advances and Equipment Loan Borrowing.
(a) Borrower may notify Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day of
Borrower's request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance hereunder. Subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 hereof, in the
event Borrower desires an Equipment Loan, Borrower shall give Agent at least
three (3) Business Days' prior written notice. Should any amount required to be
paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or
any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other
Obligation, become due, same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance
as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such
interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement
with Agent or Lenders, and such request shall be irrevocable.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in
the event Borrower desires to obtain a Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrower shall give
Agent written notice by no later than 10:00 a.m. on the day which is three (3)
Business Days prior to the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan is to be borrowed,
specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business
Day), (ii) the type of borrowing and the amount on the date of such Advance to
be borrowed, which amount shall be an integral multiple of $250,000, and (iii)
the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be for one, two or three months; provided, if an
Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on
the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding
calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding
Business Day. No Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made available to Borrower during
the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default. After giving effect to each
requested Eurodollar Rate Loan, including those which are converted from a
Domestic Rate Loan under Section 2.2(d), there shall not be outstanding more
than four (4) Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

                                       23

                  (c) Each Interest Period of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall
commence on the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan is made and shall end on such
date as Borrower may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above provided
that the exact length of each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance
with the practice of the interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no
Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term.

                  (d) Borrower shall elect the initial Interest Period
applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent
pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent
pursuant to Section 2.2(d), as the case may be. Borrower shall elect the
duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice
to Agent of such duration not later than 10:00 a.m. on the day which is three
(3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice
of the Interest Period elected by Borrower, Borrower shall be deemed to have
elected to convert to a Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(d)
hereinbelow.

                  (e) At its option and upon written notice given prior to 10:00
a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days' prior to the date of such
prepayment, Borrower may prepay the Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole at any time
or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being
prepaid to the date of such repayment. Borrower shall specify the date of
prepayment of Advances which are Eurodollar Rate Loans and the amount of such
prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan is
required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrower shall indemnify Agent and
Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(f) hereof.

                  (f) Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent
and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent
and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion
of or any default by Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on
any Eurodollar Rate Loan or failure by Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a
prepayment of or conversion of or to a Eurodollar Rate Loan after notice thereof
has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or
Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its
Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to
Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                  (g) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any
Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender
(for purposes of this subsection (g), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender
and the office or branch where any Lender or any corporation or bank controlling
such Lender makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans) to make or maintain
its Eurodollar Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate
Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrower shall, if any affected
Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent,
either pay all such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert such affected
Eurodollar Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or

                                       24

conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day
of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrower shall
pay Agent, upon Agent's request, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to
compensate Lenders for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by Lenders in
respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion,
including (but not limited to) any interest or other amounts payable by Lenders
to lenders of funds obtained by Lenders in order to make or maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable
pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

            2.3 Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be
disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to
time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Borrower to Agent or
Lenders, shall be charged to Borrower's Account on Agent's books. During the
Term, Borrower may use the Revolving Advances by borrowing, prepaying and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The
proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by Borrower or deemed to have been
requested by Borrower under Section 2.2(a) hereof shall, with respect to
requested Revolving Advances to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances,
be made available to Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to
Borrower's operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrower may
designate following notification to Agent, in immediately available federal
funds or other immediately available funds or, with respect to Revolving
Advances deemed to have been requested by Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be
applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request.

            2.4 Loans.

                  (a) Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, each Lender, severally and not jointly, will make a Term Loan to
Borrower in the sum equal to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of $3,500,000.
The Term Loan shall be advanced on the Closing Date and shall be, with respect
to principal, payable as follows, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement:
eighty four (84) consecutive monthly principal installments, the first eighty
three (83) of which shall be in the amount of $31,667 commencing on the first
Business Day of January, 2006, and continuing on the first Business Day of each
month thereafter, with an eighty fourth (84th) and final payment of any unpaid
balance of principal and interest payable on the first Business Day of December,
2012, subject to mandatory prepayment and acceleration upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default hereunder or earlier termination of the Loan Agreement pursuant
to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the
Term Note and/or in any Other Document, all outstanding principal and interest
hereunder is due and payable on the Termination Date in the event that the
Termination Date is before the first Business Day of December, 2012. The Term
Loan shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes (collectively,
the "Term Note") in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4a.

                  (b) Equipment Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, each Lender, severally and not jointly, shall, from time to
time, make available Advances to Borrower (each, an "Equipment Loan" and
collectively, the "Equipment Loans") to finance Borrower's purchase of Equipment
for use in Borrower's business. All such Equipment Loans shall be in such
amounts as are requested by Borrower, but in no event shall any Equipment Loan

                                       25

exceed eighty percent (80%) of the net invoice cost (excluding taxes, shipping,
delivery, handling, installation, overhead and other so called "soft" costs) of
the Equipment then to be purchased by Borrower and the total amount of all
Equipment Loans outstanding hereunder (whether or not such Equipment Loans have
been converted to a Converted Equipment Loan) shall not exceed, in the
aggregate, the Maximum Equipment Loan Amount. Once repaid (whether or not such
Equipment Loans have been converted to and repaid as a Converted Equipment Loan)
Equipment Loans may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary
herein, the maximum amount of Equipment Loans advanced by the Lenders in any
fiscal year shall not exceed $750,000. The Equipment Loans shall be evidenced by
a secured promissory note (the "Equipment Line of Credit Note"), executed by
Borrower in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 2.4(b)(i). Until
the Termination Date, Advances constituting Equipment Loans shall be accumulated
during at the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower (each a "Borrowing
Period") during the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first Borrowing
Period shall commence on the Closing Date and end on December 31, 2006. Each
subsequent Borrowing Period shall consist of twelve month periods commencing on
January 1, 2007 provided, however, that no Borrowing Period shall extend beyond
the Termination Date. During each Borrowing Period, the Borrower shall pay to
the Agent interest accrued on the outstanding balance of the Equipment Loans on
the first day of each month. At the end of each Borrowing Period (each a
"Conversion Date"), the sum of all Equipment Loans made during the Borrowing
Period shall be converted to a term loan (each a "Converted Equipment Loan") and
shall amortize on the basis of a sixty (60) month schedule (such amount
converted shall be referred to as the "Amortization Amount") provided, however,
if, for any such Borrowing Period, the sum of all Equipment Loans made during
such Borrowing Period is less than $500,000, then such Equipment Loans shall not
convert to a Converted Equipment Loan until the earliest Conversion Date
thereafter on which the sum of all outstanding Equipment Loans are equal to or
greater than $500,000. Each Converted Equipment Loan shall be, with respect to
principal, payable in equal monthly installments based upon the amortization
schedule set forth above, commencing on the first day of the first month
following the applicable Conversion Date and continuing on the first day of each
month thereafter with the balance payable upon the first day of the sixtieth
(60th) month thereafter, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any
Converted Equipment Line of Credit Note and/or in any Other Document, all
outstanding principal and interest hereunder is due and payable on the
Termination Date. Each Converted Equipment Loan shall be evidenced by a secured
promissory note (the "Converted Equipment Line of Credit Note"), executed by
Borrower in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 2.4(b)(ii).

            2.5 Maximum Advances. The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances
outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum Revolving
Advance Amount or (b) the Formula Amount.

            2.6 Repayment of Advances.

                  (a) The Revolving Advances shall be due and payable in full on
the Termination Date subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. The Term
Loan shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.4(a) hereof and in the

                                       26

Term Note, subject to mandatory prepayments as herein set forth provided,
however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other
Document, all outstanding principal and interest with regard to the Term Note
shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. The Equipment Loans shall be
due and payable as provided in Section 2.4(b) hereof and in the Equipment Line
of Credit Note, subject to mandatory prepayments as herein provided, however,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, all
outstanding principal and interest with regard to the Equipment Line of Credit
Note shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. The Converted Equipment
Loans shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.4(b) and in the
Converted Equipment Line of Credit Note, subject to mandatory prepayments as
herein provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in
any Other Document, all outstanding principal and interest with regard to the
Converted Equipment Line of Credit Note shall be due and payable on the
Termination Date.

                  (b) Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks,
notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of
Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received. In
consideration of Agent's agreement to conditionally credit Borrower's Account as
of the Business Day on which Agent receives those items of payment, Borrower
agrees that, in computing the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment
shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations one (1) Business
Day after (i) the Business Day Agent receives such payments via wire transfer or
electronic depository check or (ii) in the case of payments received by Agent in
any other form, the Business Day such payment constitutes good funds in Agent's
account. Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrower's Account for the
amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may
charge Borrower's Account for the amount of any item of payment which is
returned to Agent unpaid.

                  (c) All payments of principal, interest and other amounts
payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at
the Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the due date
therefor in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or
other funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to
effectuate payment on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by
charging Borrower's Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2
hereof.

                  (d) Borrower shall pay principal, interest, and all other
amounts payable hereunder, or under any related agreement, without any deduction
whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or
counterclaim.

            2.7 Repayment of Excess Advances. The aggregate balance of Advances
outstanding at any time in excess of the maximum amount of Advances permitted
hereunder shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any
demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has
occurred.

            2.8 Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with
its customary procedures, a loan account ("Borrower's Account") in the name of
Borrower in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by
Agent and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided,
however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall
not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to

                                       27

Borrower a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made
or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent and
Borrower, during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and
binding upon Borrower in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an
account stated between Lenders and Borrower unless Agent receives a written
statement of Borrower's specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days
after such statement is received by Borrower. The records of Agent with respect
to the loan account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the
amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable
thereto.

            2.9 Additional Payments. Any sums expended by Agent or any Lender
due to Borrower's failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this
Agreement or any Other Document including Borrower's obligations under Sections
4.2, 4.4, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 6.1 hereof, may be charged to Borrower's Account
as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

            2.10 Manner of Borrowing and Payment.

                  (a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced
according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders. The Term Loan
shall be advanced according to the Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Each
borrowing of Equipment Loans shall be advanced according to the applicable
Commitment Percentages of Lenders. The Converted Equipment Loan shall be
advanced according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders.

                  (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on
account of the principal of and interest on the Revolving Advances, shall be
applied to the Revolving Advances pro rata according to the applicable
Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by
Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Term Note, shall be
made from or to, or applied to that portion of the Term Loan evidenced by the
Term Note pro rata according to the Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Each
payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of the principal of
and interest on the Equipment Note, shall be applied to that portion of the
Equipment Loan evidenced by the Equipment Note pro rata according to the
Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by
Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Converted Equipment
Line of Credit Note, shall be applied to that portion of the Converted Equipment
Loan evidenced by the Converted Equipment Line of Credit Note pro rata according
to the Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Except as expressly provided herein,
all payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower on account of
principal, interest and fees shall be made without set off or counterclaim and
shall be made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders to the Payment Office, in each
case on or prior to 1:00 P.M., New York time, in Dollars and in immediately
available funds.

                  (c)

                        (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
                  in Sections 2.10(a) and (b) hereof, commencing with the first
                  Business Day following the Closing Date, each borrowing of
                  Revolving Advances shall be advanced by Agent and each payment

                                       28

                  by Borrower on account of Revolving Advances shall be applied
                  first to those Revolving Advances advanced by Agent. On or
                  before 1:00 P.M., New York time, on each Settlement Date
                  commencing with the first Settlement Date following the
                  Closing Date, Agent and Lenders shall make certain payments as
                  follows: (I) if the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances
                  made by Agent during the preceding Week (if any) exceeds the
                  aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding
                  Revolving Advances during such preceding Week, then each
                  Lender shall provide Agent with funds in an amount equal to
                  its applicable Commitment Percentage of the difference between
                  (w) such Revolving Advances and (x) such repayments and (II)
                  if the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding
                  Revolving Advances during such Week exceeds the aggregate
                  amount of new Revolving Advances made during such Week, then
                  Agent shall provide each Lender with funds in an amount equal
                  to its applicable Commitment Percentage of the difference
                  between (y) such repayments and (z) such Revolving Advances.

                        (ii) Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at
                  the applicable Contract Rate on outstanding Advances which it
                  has funded.

                        (iii) Promptly following each Settlement Date, Agent
                  shall submit to each Lender a certificate with respect to
                  payments received and Advances made during the Week
                  immediately preceding such Settlement Date. Such certificate
                  of Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

                  (d) If any Lender or Participant (a "benefited Lender") shall
at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest
thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to
and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender's Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment
or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such benefited
Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such
portion of each such other Lender's Advances, or shall provide such other Lender
with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits
of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is
thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest. Each Lender so purchasing a portion of another
Lender's Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of
set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct
holder of such portion.

                  (e) Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone,
confirmed in writing, by any Lender that such Lender will not make the amount
which would constitute its applicable Commitment Percentage of the Advances
available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such
Lender shall make such amount available to Agent on the next Settlement Date
and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a

                                       29

corresponding amount. Agent will promptly notify Borrower of its receipt of any
such notice from a Lender. If such amount is made available to Agent on a date
after such next Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay to Agent on demand an
amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective
Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted
by Agent, times (ii) such amount, times (iii) the number of days from and
including such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount becomes
immediately available to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender
with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (e) shall be conclusive,
in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available
to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement
Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon
at the rate per annum then applicable to such Revolving Advances hereunder, on
demand from Borrower; provided, however, that Agent's right to such recovery
shall not prejudice or otherwise adversely affect Borrower's rights (if any)
against such Lender.

            2.11 Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to Section 4.3 hereof, when
Borrower sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral other than Inventory in
the Ordinary Course of Business, Borrower shall repay the Advances in an amount
equal to the net proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross proceeds less the reasonable
costs of such sales or other dispositions), such repayments to be made promptly
but in no event more than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such net
proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust
for Agent. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such
sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. Such repayments
shall be applied (i) if the Collateral disposed of is Equipment the purchase of
which was financed by an Equipment Loan, (x) first, to the outstanding principal
installments of the Equipment Loans and/or the Converted Equipment Loans in the
inverse order of the maturities thereof, (y) second, to the outstanding
principal installments of the Term Loan in the inverse order of the maturities
thereof and (z) third, to the remaining Advances in such order as Agent may
determine, subject to Borrower's ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in
accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) if the Collateral disposed of is
Equipment other than as set forth in (i) above, (x) first, to the outstanding
principal installments of the Term Loan in the inverse order of the maturities
thereof, (y) second, to the outstanding principal installments of the Equipment
Loans and/or the Converted Equipment Loans in the inverse order of the
maturities thereof and (z) third, to the remaining Advances in such order as
Agent may determine, subject to Borrower's ability to reborrow Revolving
Advances in accordance with the terms hereof, or (ii) if the Collateral disposed
of is the Mortgaged Premises, (y) first, to the outstanding principal
installments of the Term Loan in the inverse order of the maturities thereof up
to $2,800,000, and (z) second, to the Revolving Advances in such order as Agent
may determine, subject to Borrower's ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in
accordance with the terms hereof.

            2.12 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall apply the proceeds of Advances
to (i) purchase the Mortgaged Premises, (ii) repay existing indebtedness owed to
Citibank, (iii) pay fees and expenses relating to this transaction, and (iv)
provide for its working capital needs.

      Without limiting the generality of Section 2.12(a) above, neither the
Borrower nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this
Agreement or the Other Documents as Borrower, intends to use nor shall they use
any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any
purpose in violation of the Trading with the Enemy Act.

                                       30

            2.13 Defaulting Lender.

                  (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
in the event any Lender (x) has refused (which refusal constitutes a breach by
such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) to make available its
portion of any Advance or (y) notifies either Agent or Borrower that it does not
intend to make available its portion of any Advance (if the actual refusal would
constitute a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement)
(each, a "Lender Default"), all rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender
(a "Defaulting Lender") as to which a Lender Default is in effect and of the
other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions
of this Section 2.13 while such Lender Default remains in effect.

                  (b) Advances shall be incurred pro rata from Lenders (the
"Non-Defaulting Lenders") which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their
respective Commitment Percentages, and no Commitment Percentage of any Lender or
any pro rata share of any Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall
be increased as a result of such Lender Default. Amounts received in respect of
principal of any type of Advances shall be applied to reduce the applicable
Advances of each Lender pro rata based on the aggregate of the outstanding
Advances of that type of all Lenders at the time of such application; provided,
that, such amount shall not be applied to any Advances of a Defaulting Lender at
any time when, and to the extent that, the aggregate amount of Advances of any
Non-Defaulting Lender exceeds such Non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment Percentage
of all Advances then outstanding.

                  (c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give
instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any
matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents. All amendments,
waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be
made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition
of "Required Lenders", a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender
and not to have Advances outstanding.

                  (d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.13,
the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to
indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in
this Section 2.13 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its
obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such
obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender
hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which Borrower, Agent or any Lender may
have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting
Lender hereunder.

                  (e) In the event a Defaulting Lender retroactively cures to
the satisfaction of Agent the breach which caused a Lender to become a
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender
and shall be treated as a Lender under this Agreement.

                                       31

III. INTEREST AND FEES.

            3.1 Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on
the first day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and, with
respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period or, for
Eurodollar Rate Loans with an Interest Period in excess of three months, at the
earlier of (a) each three months from the commencement of such Eurodollar Rate
Loan or (b) the end of the Interest Period. Interest charges shall be computed
on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month at a
rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the applicable
Revolving Interest Rate and (ii) with respect to the Term Loan, the applicable
Term Loan Rate and (iii) with respect to the Equipment Loans and the Converted
Equipment Loan, the applicable Equipment Line of Credit Rate (as applicable, the
"Contract Rate"). Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the
Alternate Base Rate is increased or decreased, the applicable Contract Rate for
Domestic Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any
kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate
during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Eurodollar Rate
shall be adjusted with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans without notice or demand
of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage as of
such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
during the continuation thereof, (i) at the option of Agent or at the direction
of Required Lenders, the Obligations other than Eurodollar Rate Loans shall bear
interest at the applicable Contract Rate for Domestic Loans plus two percent
(2%) per annum and (ii) Eurodollar Rate Loans shall bear interest at the
Revolving Interest Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans plus two percent (2%) per
annum (as applicable, the "Default Rate").

            3.2 Closing Fee and Facility Fee.

                  (a) Closing Fee. Upon the execution of this Agreement,
Borrower shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders a closing fee of
$140,000 less that portion of the commitment fee of $40,000 heretofore paid by
Borrower to Agent remaining after application of such fee to out of pocket
expenses.

                  (b) Facility Fee. If, for any calendar quarter during the
Term, the average daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances for each day of
such calendar quarter does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then
Borrower shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders a fee at a rate
equal to one half of one percent (.50%) per annum on the amount by which the
Maximum Revolving Advance Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid balance. Such
fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first day of each calendar
quarter with respect to the previous calendar quarter.

            3.3 Collateral Evaluation Fee, Collateral Monitoring Fee and Fee
Letter.

                  (a) Collateral Evaluation Fee. Borrower shall pay Agent a
collateral evaluation fee equal to $1,500.00 per month commencing on the first
day of the month following the Closing Date and on the first day of each month
thereafter during the Term. The collateral evaluation fee shall be deemed earned
in full on the date when same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be
subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any
reason.

                                       32

                  (b) Collateral Monitoring Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent on
the first day of each month following any month in which Agent performs any
collateral monitoring - namely any field examination, collateral analysis or
other business analysis, the need for which is to be determined by Agent and
which monitoring is undertaken by Agent or for Agent's benefit - a collateral
monitoring fee in an amount equal to $750.00 per day for each person employed to
perform such monitoring, plus all costs and disbursements incurred by Agent in
the performance of such examination or analysis.

            3.4 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number
of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on
a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the
applicable Contract Rate for Domestic Rate Loans during such extension.

            3.5 Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other
charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the
event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed
the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied
to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower, and if the then remaining
excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders
shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof
shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

            3.6 Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law, treaty or
governmental regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or
application thereof, or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section
3.6, the term "Lender" shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or
bank controlling Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch where Agent or
any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central
bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

                  (a) subject Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document or change the
basis of taxation of payments to Agent or any Lender of principal, fees,
interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any Other Documents
(except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Agent or any
Lender by the jurisdiction in which it maintains its principal office);

                  (b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits
in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any
office of Agent or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

                  (c) impose on Agent or any Lender or the London interbank
Eurodollar market any other condition with respect to this Agreement or any
Other Document;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any
Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount
that Agent or such Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any
payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the
Advances by an amount that Agent or such Lender deems to be material, then, in

                                       33

any case Borrower shall promptly pay Agent or such Lender, upon its demand, such
additional amount as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such additional
cost or such reduction, as the case may be , provided that the foregoing shall
not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the Eurodollar Rate, as the
case may be. Agent or such Lender shall certify the amount of such additional
cost or reduced amount to Borrower, and such certification shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

            3.7 Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the
event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

                  (a) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest
Period; or

                  (b) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank Eurodollar market,
with respect to an outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, a proposed Eurodollar Rate
Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate
Loan,

then Agent shall give Borrower prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice
of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan, unless Borrower
shall notify Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2)
Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for
such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Eurodollar
Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or Eurodollar Rate Loan which was to have
been converted to an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be continued as
or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrower shall notify Agent, no
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the
proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Eurodollar
Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrower shall notify Agent, no
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the
last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
affected Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of
Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest
Period for such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans. Until such notice has been
withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of
Eurodollar Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans and
Borrower shall not have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an
unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan into an affected type of Eurodollar Rate
Loan.

            3.8 Capital Adequacy.

                  (a) In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have
determined that any Applicable Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding
capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by Agent or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.8, the term "Lender"
shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent
or any Lender) and the office or branch where Agent or any Lender (as so
defined) makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or

                                       34

directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on Agent or any Lender's capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent or
such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration Agent's and each Lender's policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent or any Lender to be material,
then, from time to time, Borrower shall pay upon demand to Agent or such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent or such Lender for
such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Agent or such Lender may
use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this
Section 3.8 shall be available to Agent and each Lender regardless of any
possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the
Applicable Law, regulation or condition.

                  (b) A certificate of Agent or such Lender setting forth such
amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender with
respect to Section 3.8(a) hereof when delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

            3.9 Gross Up for Taxes. Subject to Section 3.6(a) herein, if
Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any of the Other
Documents to Agent, or any Lender, assignee of any Lender, or Participant (each,
individually, a "Payee" and collectively, the "Payees"), (a) the sum payable to
such Payee or Payees, as the case may be, shall be increased as may be necessary
so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, the applicable
Payee or Payees receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
no such withholding or deductions been made (the "Gross-Up Payment"), (b)
Borrower shall make such withholding or deductions, and (c) Borrower shall pay
the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower shall not be obligated to make any portion of the Gross-Up Payment that
is attributable to any withholding or deductions that would not have been paid
or claimed had the applicable Payee or Payees properly claimed a complete
exemption with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof.

            3.10 Withholding Tax Exemption. (a) Each Payee that is not
incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
(and, upon the written request of Agent, each other Payee) agrees that it will
deliver to Borrower and Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid
Withholding Certificates (as defined under ss.1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Income Tax
Regulations ("Regulations")) certifying its status (i.e., U.S. or foreign
person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S.
withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an exemption provided by
the Code. The term "Withholding Certificate" means a Form W-9; a Form W-8BEN; a
Form W-8ECI; a Form W-8IMY and the related statements and certifications as
required under ss.1.1441-1(e)(2) and/or (3) of the Regulations; a statement
described in ss.1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations; or any other certificates
under the Code or Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or
beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person.

                                       35

            (b) Each Payee required to deliver to Borrower and Agent a valid
Withholding Certificate pursuant to Section 3.10(a) hereof shall deliver such
valid Withholding Certificate as follows: (A) each Payee which is a party hereto
on the Closing Date shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least
five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are
payable by Borrower hereunder for the account of such Payee; (B) each Payee
shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days
before the effective date of such assignment or participation (unless Agent in
its sole discretion shall permit such Payee to deliver such Withholding
Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it
shall be due on the date specified by Agent). Each Payee which so delivers a
valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to Borrower and
Agent two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor
form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes
obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto
or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrower or
Agent.

            (c) Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding Certificate
claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax required under
Section 3.10(b) hereof, Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States
federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable
judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed
upon a withholding agent under ss.1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations. Further, Agent
is indemnified under ss.1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and
demands of any Payee for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in
accordance with regulations under ss.1441 of the Code.

available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In addition, with
respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the
rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform
Commercial Code or other Applicable Law. Borrower shall, and Agent may, at its
option, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others
receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which

will immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any
necessary endorsement.

such earnings in connection with its business. All determinations pursuant to
this subsection shall be made in accordance with, or as required by, GAAP
consistently applied in the opinion of such independent public accountant as
shall then be regularly engaged by Borrower.

                                       38

            4.8 Financial Disclosure. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs all accountants and auditors employed by Borrower at any time during the
Term to exhibit and deliver to Agent and each Lender copies of any of Borrower's
financial statements, trial balances or other accounting records of any sort in
the accountant's or auditor's possession, and to disclose to Agent and each
Lender any information such accountants may have concerning Borrower's financial
status and business operations provided, however, so long as no Default and/or
Event of Default has occurred, the Agent and each Lender will attempt to obtain
such information or materials directly from Borrower prior to obtaining such
information or materials from such accountants and is hereby authorized to
obtain such information or materials from such accountants if the Borrower does
not provide such information and materials to the Agent within ten (10) Business
Days of any request for such information and materials.. Borrower hereby
authorizes all Governmental Bodies to furnish to Agent and each Lender copies of
reports or examinations relating to Borrower, whether made by Borrower or
otherwise provided, however, so long as no Default and/or Event of Default has
occurred, the Agent and each Lender will attempt to obtain such information or
materials directly from Borrower prior to obtaining such information or
materials from such Governmental Bodies and is hereby authorized to obtain such
information or materials from such Governmental Bodies if the Borrower does not
provide such information and materials to the Agent within ten (10) Business
Days of any request for such information and materials.

            4.9 Compliance with Laws. Borrower shall comply with all Applicable
Laws with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of
Borrower's business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower may, however, contest or dispute any
Applicable Laws in any reasonable manner, provided that any related Lien is
inchoate or stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable
satisfaction of Agent to protect Agent's Lien on or security interest in the
Collateral. The assets of Borrower at all times shall be maintained in
accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide
insurance with respect to the assets of Borrower so that such insurance shall
remain in full force and effect.

            4.10 Inspection of Premises. At all reasonable times Agent and each
Lender shall have full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make
abstracts and copies from Borrower's books, records, audits, correspondence and
all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of Borrower's
business. Agent, any Lender and their agents may enter upon any of Borrower's
premises at any time during business hours and at any other reasonable time, and
from time to time, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all
records pertaining thereto and the operation of Borrower's business.

            4.11 Insurance. The assets and properties of Borrower at all times
shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance
carriers which provide insurance with respect to the assets and properties of
Borrower so that such insurance shall remain in full force and effect. Borrower
shall bear the full risk of any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to
the Collateral. At Borrower's own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers
reasonably acceptable to Agent, Borrower shall (a) keep all its insurable
properties and properties in which Borrower has an interest insured against the
hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended

                                       39

coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary
in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to Borrower's including
business interruption insurance; (b) maintain a bond in such amounts as is
customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to Borrower
insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of
insured's officers and employees who may either singly or jointly with others at
any time have access to the assets or funds of Borrower either directly or
through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition
of such assets; (c) maintain public and product liability insurance against
claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (d)
maintain all such worker's compensation or similar insurance as may be required
under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which Borrower is engaged in
business; (e) furnish Agent with (i) copies of all liability and property
insurance policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies by the
renewal thereof at least thirty (30) days before any expiration date, and (ii)
appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to
Agent, naming Agent as an additional insured, mortgagee and lender loss payee as
its interests may appear with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in
clauses (a) and (c) above, and providing (A) that all proceeds thereunder in
excess of $100,000 shall be payable to Agent, (B) no such insurance shall be
affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described
in such policy, and (C) that such policy and loss payable clauses may not be
cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice is given to Agent. In the event of any loss thereunder in excess of
$100,000, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Agent and Borrower
to make payment for such loss to Agent and not to Borrower and Agent jointly. If
any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to
Borrower and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse Borrower's name thereon and do
such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Agent
is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage
referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above. So long as no Default and/or Event of
Default has occurred, the Agent shall consult the Borrower with regard to such
adjustments and compromises. All loss recoveries received by Agent upon any such
insurance may be applied to the Obligations, in such order as Agent in its sole
discretion shall determine. Any surplus shall be paid by Agent to Borrower or
applied as may be otherwise required by law. Any deficiency thereon shall be
paid by Borrower to Agent, on demand.

            4.12 Failure to Pay Insurance. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance
as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Agent, if Agent so
elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of
Borrower, and charge Borrower's Account therefor as a Revolving Advance of a
Domestic Rate Loan and such expenses so paid shall be part of the Obligations.

            4.13 Payment of Taxes. Borrower will pay, when due, all taxes,
assessments and other Charges lawfully levied or assessed upon Borrower or any
of the Collateral including real and personal property taxes, assessments and
charges and all franchise, income, employment, social security benefits,
withholding, and sales taxes. If any tax by any Governmental Body is or may be
imposed on or as a result of any transaction between Borrower and Agent or any
Lender which Agent or any Lender may be required to withhold or pay or if any
taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for
their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in Agent's or any Lender's
opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, Agent may without
notice to Borrower pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges and Borrower

                                       40

hereby indemnifies and holds Agent and each Lender harmless in respect thereof,
subject to Sections 3.6(a) and 3.10 herein. Agent will not pay any taxes,
assessments or Charges to the extent that Borrower has contested or disputed
those taxes, assessments or Charges in good faith, by expeditious protest,
administrative or judicial appeal or similar proceeding provided that any
related tax lien is stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the
reasonable satisfaction of Agent to protect Agent's security interest in or Lien
on the Collateral. The amount of any payment by Agent under this Section 4.13
shall be charged to Borrower's Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the
Obligations and, until Borrower shall furnish Agent with an indemnity therefor
(or supply Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent that due provision for the
payment thereof has been made), Agent may hold without interest any balance
standing to Borrower's credit and Agent shall retain its security interest in
and Lien on any and all Collateral held by Agent.

            4.14 Payment of Leasehold Obligations. Borrower shall at all times
pay, when and as due, its rental obligations under all leases under which it is
a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other
terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect and, at Agent's
request will provide evidence of having done so.

            4.15 Receivables.

                  (a) Nature of Receivables. Each of the Receivables shall be a
bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by
the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating
thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed
to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of
goods upon stated terms of Borrower, or work, labor or services theretofore
rendered by Borrower as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be
due and owing in accordance with Borrower's standard terms of sale without
dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts
receivable schedules delivered by Borrower to Agent.

                  (b) Solvency of Customers. Each Customer, to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, as of the date each Receivable is created, is and will be
solvent and able to pay all Receivables on which the Customer is obligated in
full when due or with respect to such Customers of Borrower who are not solvent
Borrower has set up on its books and in its financial records bad debt reserves
adequate to cover such Receivables.

                  (c) Location of Borrower. Borrower's chief executive office is
located at 1460 North Fifth Avenue, Bay Shore, New York 11706. Until written
notice is given to Agent by Borrower of any other office at which Borrower keeps
its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such
executive office.

                  (d) Collection of Receivables. Until Borrower's authority to
do so is terminated by Agent (which notice Agent may give at any time following
the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Default or when Agent in its sole
discretion deems it to be in Lenders' best interest to do so), Borrower will, at
Borrower's sole cost and expense, but on Agent's behalf and for Agent's account,
collect as Agent's property and in trust for Agent all amounts received on
Receivables, and shall not commingle such collections with Borrower's funds or
use the same except to pay Obligations. Borrower shall deposit in the Blocked
Account or, upon request by Agent, deliver to Agent, in original form and on the
date of receipt thereof, all checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances,
cash and other evidences of Indebtedness.

                                       41

                  (e) Notification of Assignment of Receivables. At any time
Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent's
security interest in and Lien on, the Receivables to any and all Customers or
any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral.
Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables, take
possession of the Collateral, or both. Agent's actual collection expenses,
including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone and telegraph,
secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel
used for collection, may be charged to Borrower's Account and added to the
Obligations.

                  (f) Power of Agent to Act on Borrower's Behalf. Agent shall
have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Agent
or Borrower any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of
money relating to the Receivables, and Borrower hereby waives notice of
presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Borrower
hereby constitutes Agent or Agent's designee as Borrower's attorney with power
(i) to endorse Borrower's name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts,
money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (ii) to sign
Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the
Receivables, drafts against Customers, assignments and verifications of
Receivables; (iii) to send verifications of Receivables to any Customer; (iv) to
sign Borrower's name on all financing statements or any other documents or
instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or
perfect Agent's interest in the Collateral and to file same; (v) to demand
payment of the Receivables upon notice to the Borrower; (vi) to enforce payment
of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise upon notice to the
Borrower; (vii) to exercise all of Borrower's rights and remedies with respect
to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral upon notice to the
Borrower; (viii) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables
upon notice to the Borrower; (ix) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal
proceedings brought to collect Receivables upon notice to the Borrower; (x) to
prepare, file and sign Borrower's name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or
similar document against any Customer upon notice to the Borrower; (xi) to
prepare, file and sign Borrower's name on any notice of Lien, assignment or
satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables; and
(xii) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All
acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said
attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission
nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done
maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); this power being
coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain
unpaid. Upon the occurrence of a Default and/or an Event of Default, Agent shall
have the right at any time to change the address for delivery of mail addressed
to Borrower to such address as Agent may designate and to receive, open and
dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower.

                  (g) No Liability. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under
any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error
or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or
payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof,

                                       42

or for any damage resulting therefrom. Agent may, with notice to Borrower and
without consent from Borrower, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of
payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or upon any terms any of the
Receivables or any other securities, instruments or insurance applicable thereto
and/or release any obligor thereof. Agent is authorized and empowered to accept
the return of the goods represented by any of the Receivables, with notice to
Borrower and without consent from Borrower, all without discharging or in any
way affecting Borrower's liability hereunder.

                  (h) Establishment of a Lockbox Account, Dominion Account. All
proceeds of Collateral shall be deposited by Borrower into either (i) a lockbox
account, dominion account or such other "blocked account" ("Blocked Accounts")
established at a bank or banks (each such bank, a "Blocked Account Bank")
pursuant to an arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be selected by
Borrower and be acceptable to Agent or (ii) depository accounts ("Depository
Accounts") established at the Agent for the deposit of such proceeds. Borrower,
Agent and each Blocked Account Bank shall enter into a deposit account control
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent directing such Blocked
Account Bank to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent, either to any account
maintained by Agent at said Blocked Account Bank or by wire transfer to
appropriate account(s) of Agent. All funds deposited in such Blocked Accounts
shall immediately become the property of Agent and Borrower shall obtain the
agreement by such Blocked Account Bank to waive any offset rights against the

business of Borrower.

            4.16 Inventory. To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has
been produced by Borrower, it has been and will be produced by Borrower in

            4.18 Exculpation of Liability. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as Borrower's agent for any purpose
whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any
shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral
wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither

                                       43

Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or
otherwise, assume any of Borrower's obligations under any contract or agreement
assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be
responsible in any way for the performance by Borrower of any of the terms and
conditions thereof.

            4.19 Environmental Matters. (a) Borrower shall ensure that the Real
Property and all operations and businesses conducted thereon remains in
compliance with all Environmental Laws and they shall not place or permit to be
placed any Hazardous Substances on any Real Property except as permitted by
Applicable Law or appropriate governmental authorities.

                  (b) Borrower shall establish and maintain a system to assure
and monitor continued compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws which
system shall include periodic reviews of such compliance.

                  (c) Borrower shall (i) employ in connection with the use of
the Real Property appropriate technology necessary to maintain compliance with
any applicable Environmental Laws and (ii) dispose of any and all Hazardous
Waste generated at the Real Property only at facilities and with carriers that
maintain valid permits under RCRA and any other applicable Environmental Laws.
Borrower shall use its best efforts to obtain certificates of disposal, such as
hazardous waste manifest receipts, from all treatment, transport, storage or
disposal facilities or operators employed by Borrower in connection with the
transport or disposal of any Hazardous Waste generated at the Real Property.

                  (d) In the event Borrower obtains, gives or receives notice of
any Release or threat of Release of a reportable quantity of any Hazardous
Substances at the Real Property (any such event being hereinafter referred to as
a "Hazardous Discharge") or receives any notice of violation, request for
information or notification that it is potentially responsible for investigation
or cleanup of environmental conditions at the Real Property, demand letter or
complaint, order, citation, or other written notice with regard to any Hazardous
Discharge or violation of Environmental Laws affecting the Real Property or
Borrower's interest therein (any of the foregoing is referred to herein as an
"Environmental Complaint") from any Person, including any state agency
responsible in whole or in part for environmental matters in the state in which
the Real Property is located or the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (any such person or entity hereinafter the "Authority"), then Borrower
shall, within five (5) Business Days, give written notice of same to Agent
detailing facts and circumstances of which Borrower is aware giving rise to the
Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. Such information is to be
provided to allow Agent to protect its security interest in and Lien on the Real
Property and the Collateral and is not intended to create nor shall it create
any obligation upon Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.

                  (e) Borrower shall promptly forward to Agent copies of any
request for information, notification of potential liability, demand letter
relating to potential responsibility with respect to the investigation or
cleanup of Hazardous Substances at any other site owned, operated or used by
Borrower to dispose of Hazardous Substances and shall continue to forward copies
of correspondence between Borrower and the Authority regarding such claims to
Agent until the claim is settled. Borrower shall promptly forward to Agent
copies of all documents and reports concerning a Hazardous Discharge at the Real
Property that Borrower is required to file under any Environmental Laws. Such
information is to be provided solely to allow Agent to protect Agent's security
interest in and Lien on the Real Property and the Collateral. The Agent and
other Lenders hereby acknowledge receipt of the Existing Environmental Due
Diligence.

                                       44

                  (f) Borrower shall respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge
or Environmental Complaint and take all necessary action in order to safeguard
the health of any Person and to avoid subjecting the Collateral or Real Property
to any Lien. If Borrower shall fail to respond promptly to any Hazardous
Discharge or Environmental Complaint or Borrower shall fail to comply with any
of the requirements of any Environmental Laws, Agent on behalf of Lenders may,
but without the obligation to do so, for the sole purpose of protecting Agent's
interest in the Collateral: (A) give such notices or (B) enter onto the Real
Property (or authorize third parties to enter onto the Real Property) and take
such actions as Agent (or such third parties as directed by Agent) deem
reasonably necessary or advisable, to clean up, remove, mitigate or otherwise
deal with any such Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. All
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders (or such third
parties) in the exercise of any such rights, including any sums paid in
connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or proceedings,
fines and penalties, together with interest thereon from the date expended at
the Default Rate for Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances shall
be paid upon demand by Borrower, and until paid shall be added to and become a
part of the Obligations secured by the Liens created by the terms of this
Agreement or any other agreement between Agent, any Lender and Borrower.

                  (g) Promptly upon the written request of Agent from time to
time, Borrower shall provide Agent, at Borrower's expense, with an environmental
site assessment or environmental audit report prepared by an environmental
engineering firm acceptable in the reasonable opinion of Agent, to assess with a
reasonable degree of certainty the existence of a Hazardous Discharge and the
potential costs in connection with abatement, cleanup and removal of any
Hazardous Substances found on, under, at or within the Real Property. Any report
or investigation of such Hazardous Discharge proposed and acceptable to an
appropriate Authority that is charged to oversee the clean-up of such Hazardous
Discharge shall be acceptable to Agent. If such estimates, individually or in
the aggregate, exceed $100,000, Agent shall have the right to require Borrower
to post a bond, letter of credit or other security reasonably satisfactory to
Agent to secure payment of these costs and expenses.

                  (h) Borrower shall defend and indemnify Agent and Lenders and
hold Agent, Lenders and their respective employees, agents, directors and
officers harmless from and against all loss, liability, damage and expense,
claims, costs, fines and penalties, including attorney's fees, suffered or
incurred by Agent or Lenders under or on account of any Environmental Laws,
including the assertion of any Lien thereunder, with respect to any Hazardous
Discharge, the presence of any Hazardous Substances affecting the Real Property,
whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real Property or any
contiguous real estate, including any loss of value of the Real Property as a
result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss, liability, damage and
expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the
part of Agent or any Lender. Borrower's obligations under this Section 4.19
shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Substances at
the Real Property, whether or not any federal, state, or local environmental
agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any
Hazardous Substances. Borrower's obligation and the indemnifications hereunder
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

                                       45

                  (i) Borrower shall perform all testing and remediation
recommended and set forth in the Existing Environmental Due Diligence including,
but not limited to, as recommended in Section 10 of the 2005 Phase 1, in
accordance with the requirements of the Existing Environmental Due Diligence and
all applicable laws. Borrower shall provide to the Agent copies of all
documentation with regard thereto.

                  (j) For purposes of Section 4.19 and 5.7, all references to
Real Property shall be deemed to include all of Borrower's right, title and
interest in and to its owned and leased premises.

            4.20 Financing Statements. Except the financing statements filed by
Agent and the financing statements described on Schedule 1.2, no financing
statement covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof is on file in
any public office.

Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or
threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market, Agent shall give Borrower reasonable notification of such
sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to
Borrower at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable

                                       69

notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid for and become the
purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale
thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or
right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such
claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by
Borrower. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including
the sale of Inventory, Agent is granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free,
nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use all of Borrower's
(a) trademarks, trade styles, trade names, patents, patent applications,
copyrights, service marks, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights
which are used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of
marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such
Inventory and (b) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of
unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral
shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5
hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are
converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Borrower shall remain liable
to Agent and Lenders therefor.

      To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise
remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (i) to fail to incur
expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for
disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to
obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected
or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers
or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse
claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use
of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise
dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other
Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrower, for expressions of
interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one
or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of
Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of
the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of
doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets
in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties,
such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or
credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or
disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from
the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment
bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the
collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Borrower acknowledges that

                                       70

the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of
what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in
the Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions
or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely
on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation
upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed
to grant any rights to Borrower or to impose any duties on Agent that would not
have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the
absence of this Section 11.1(b).

            11.2 Agent's Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole
discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies
Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any
other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way
modify or affect any of Agent's or Lenders' rights hereunder.

            11.3 Setoff. Subject to Section 14.12, in addition to any other
rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a
right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply Borrower's property
held by Agent and such Lender to reduce the Obligations.

            11.4 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the
foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise
of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or
remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be
cumulative and not alternative.

            11.5 Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received
by the Agent on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding
under any of the Other Documents or in respect of the Collateral may, at Agent's
discretion, be paid over or delivered as follows:

      FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Agent in connection with enforcing
its rights and the rights of the Lenders under this Agreement and the Other
Documents and any protective advances made by the Agent with respect to the
Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of this Document;

      SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Agent;

      THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with
enforcing its rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents or otherwise
with respect to the Obligations owing to such Lender;

      FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued
fees and interest;

      FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the
Obligations;

                                       71

      SIXTH, to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have
become due and payable under the Other Documents or otherwise and not repaid
pursuant to clauses "FIRST" through "FIFTH" above; and

      SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next
succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive (so long as it is
not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the
proportion that the then outstanding Advances held by such Lender bears to the
aggregate then outstanding Advances) of amounts available to be applied pursuant
to clauses "FOURTH", "FIFTH" and "SIXTH" above.

XII. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

            12.1 Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby waives notice of non-payment
of any of the Receivables, demand, presentment, protest and notice thereof with
respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans
or advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any
other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any
description, except such as are expressly provided for herein.

            12.2 Delay. No delay or omission on Agent's or any Lender's part in
exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any
other right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.

            12.3 Jury Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR
AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (B) IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR
ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR
AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER
ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE AND EACH PARTY
HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE
DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY
FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN
EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY.

XIII. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.

            13.1 Term. This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and
shall be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of
Borrower, Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the date hereof and
shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date (the "Term")
unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Borrower may terminate this

                                       72

Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice upon payment
in full of the Obligations. In the event the Obligations other than any
Obligations with regard to the Term Loan are prepaid in full prior to the last
day of the Term (the date of such prepayment hereinafter referred to as the
"Early Termination Date"), Borrower shall pay to Agent for the benefit of
Lenders an early termination fee in an amount equal to (y) $140,000 if the Early
Termination Date occurs on or after the Closing Date to and including the date
immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) $70,000
if the Early Termination Date occurs on or after the first anniversary of the
Closing Date to and including the date immediately preceding the second
anniversary of the Closing Date.

            13.2 Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect
Borrower's, Agent's or any Lender's rights, or any of the Obligations having
their inception prior to the effective date of such termination, and the
provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions
entered into, rights or interests created or Obligations have been fully and
indefeasibly paid, disposed of, concluded or liquidated. The security interests,
Liens and rights granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder and the financing
statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force and effect,
notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that Borrower's
Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until
all of the Obligations of Borrower have been indefeasibly paid and performed in
full after the termination of this Agreement or Borrower has furnished Agent and
Lenders with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent and Lenders with respect
thereto. Accordingly, Borrower waives any rights which it may have under the
Uniform Commercial Code to demand the filing of termination statements with
respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be required to send such
termination statements to Borrower, or to file them with any filing office,
unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with
its terms and all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in immediately
available funds. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and
agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until all
Obligations are indefeasibly paid and performed in full.

XIV. REGARDING AGENT.

            14.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent
for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby
irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers
and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically
delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral,
payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections
3.2(a) and 3.3), charges and collections (without giving effect to any
collection days) received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of
Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents
or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement
(including collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from
acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting)
upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be
binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action
which exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the
Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished with an
indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

                                       73

            14.2 Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or
agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such
hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere)
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any
manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by
Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the
Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of Borrower to
perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to
any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any
of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the
Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower. The
duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Borrower shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a
fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon
Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth
herein.

            14.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation. Independently and
without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall
continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial
condition and affairs of Borrower in connection with the making and the
continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action
in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of
Borrower. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the
Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by
Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any
Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties
herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in
connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other
Document, or of the financial condition of Borrower, or be required to make any
inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the
financial condition of Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any
Default.

      Agent may resign on sixty (60) days' written notice to each of Lenders and
Borrower and upon such resignation, the Required Lenders will promptly designate
a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrower.

      Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its
appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be
terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Agent. After any Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article
XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

                                       74

            14.4 Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions
from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in
connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have
received instructions from the Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur
liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the
foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent
as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with
the instructions of the Required Lenders.

            14.5 Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement,
certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other
document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect
to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and
its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ
agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with
reasonable care.

            14.6 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or
under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or
Borrower referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of
default". In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give
notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required
Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such
directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

            14.7 Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and
indemnified by Borrower, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in
proportion to its respective portion of the Advances (or, if no Advances are
outstanding, according to its Commitment Percentage), from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its
duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any Other Document; provided that, Lenders shall not be liable for any portion
of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross
(not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).

            14.8 Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the
obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall
have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were
not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term "Lender" or

                                       75

any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include
Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with
Borrower as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may
accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection
with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to
Lenders.

            14.9 Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial
statements required under Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13 or Borrowing
Base Certificates from Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which
Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish
such documents and information to Lenders.

            14.10 Borrower's Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to its
obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, Borrower
hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all
amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or
Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already
paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the
relevant Borrower's obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or
the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

            14.11 No Reliance on Agent's Customer Identification Program. Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its
Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such
Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification
program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA
PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained
in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the "CIP Regulations"), or
any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the
following items relating to or in connection with Borrower, its Affiliates or
its agents, this Agreement, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or
contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any
record-keeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or
(5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

            14.12 Other Agreements. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall
not, without the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it
is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the
Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or any deposit
accounts of Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further
agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take
any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the
Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect
or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in
concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

XV. MISCELLANEOUS.

            15.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applied to
contracts to be performed wholly within the State of New York. Any judicial
proceeding brought by or against Borrower with respect to any of the
Obligations, this Agreement, the Other Documents or any related agreement may be
brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, United

                                       76

States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower
accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and
unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and
irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection
with this Agreement. Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all
process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by
registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Borrower at its address
set forth in Section 15.6 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5)
days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United
States of America. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any
manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring
proceedings against Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Borrower
waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted
hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or
venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Borrower waives the right to remove
any judicial proceeding brought against Borrower in any state court to any
federal court. Any judicial proceeding by Borrower against Agent or any Lender
involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out
of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any related agreement, shall
be brought only in a federal or state court located in the County of New York,
State of New York.

            15.2 Entire Understanding.

                  (a) This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently
herewith contain the entire understanding between Borrower, Agent and each
Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating
to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or
guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and
effect unless in writing, signed by Borrower's, Agent's and each Lender's
respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof
may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled
or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by
an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Borrower
acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the
execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral
representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.

                  (b) The Required Lenders, Agent with the consent in writing of
the Required Lenders, and Borrower may, subject to the provisions of this
Section 15.2 (b), from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements
to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by Borrower, for the purpose
of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving
in any manner the rights of Lenders, Agent or Borrower thereunder or the
conditions, provisions or terms thereof of waiving any Event of Default
thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements;
provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the
consent of all Lenders:

                        (i) increase the Commitment Percentage, the maximum
                  dollar commitment of any Lender or the Maximum Revolving
                  Advance Amount.

                        (ii) extend the maturity of any Note or the due date for
                  any amount payable hereunder, or decrease the rate of interest
                  or reduce any fee payable by Borrower to Lenders pursuant to
                  this Agreement.

                                       77

                        (iii) alter the definition of the term Required Lenders
                  or alter, amend or modify this Section 15.2(b).

                        (iv) release any Collateral during any calendar year
                  (other than in accordance with the provisions of this
                  Agreement) having an aggregate value in excess of $75,000
                  (exclusive of the Mortgaged Premises upon the sale thereof).

                        (v) change the rights and duties of Agent.

                        (vi) permit any Revolving Advance to be made if after
                  giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Advances
                  outstanding hereunder would exceed the Formula Amount for more
                  than sixty (30) consecutive Business Days or exceed one
                  hundred and five percent (105%) of the Formula Amount.

                        (vii) increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates
                  in effect on the Closing Date.

                        (viii) release any guarantor.

Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be
binding upon Borrower, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the
Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall be
restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived
shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific
Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not
the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was
waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

      In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this
Section 15.2 and such Lender shall not respond or reply to Agent in writing
within five (5) days of delivery of such request, such Lender shall be deemed to
have consented to the matter that was the subject of the request. In the event
that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 15.2 and
such consent is denied, then PNC may, at its option, require such Lender to
assign its interest in the Advances to PNC or to another Lender or to any other
Person designated by the Agent (the "Designated Lender"), for a price equal to
the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest
and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected
from Borrower. In the event PNC elects to require any Lender to assign its
interest to PNC or to the Designated Lender, PNC will so notify such Lender in
writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender's denial, and such
Lender will assign its interest to PNC or the Designated Lender no later than
five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer
Supplement executed by such Lender, PNC or the Designated Lender, as
appropriate, and Agent.

      Notwithstanding (a) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (b)
that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2
hereof have not been satisfied or (c) any other provision of this Agreement,
Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of the Required Lenders,
voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the
Formula Amount by up to ten percent (10%) of the Formula Amount for up to thirty
(30) consecutive Business Days (the "Out-of-Formula Loans"). If Agent is willing

                                       78

in its sole and absolute discretion to make such Out-of-Formula Loans, such
Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans; provided
that, if Lenders do make Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall
be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a). For purposes of
this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude
involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that
the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but
not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either "Eligible Receivables"
or "Eligible Inventory", as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of
Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter
returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve
the Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding
Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%),
Agent shall use its efforts to have Borrower decrease such excess in as
expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not
inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after
Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed
to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the
preceding sentence.

      In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving
Advances permitted above in this Section 15.2, the Agent is hereby authorized by
Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent's sole discretion, (A)
after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of
Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied, to make
Revolving Advances to Borrower on behalf of the Lenders which the Agent, in its
reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or
protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood
of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations,
or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrower pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement; provided, that at any time after giving effect to any such
Revolving Advances the outstanding Revolving Advances do not exceed one hundred
and ten percent (110%) of the Formula Amount.

            15.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders.

                  (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Borrower, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations
and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign
or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

                  (b) Borrower acknowledges that in the regular course of
commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to
time sell participating interests in the Advances to other financial
institutions (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a
"Participant") and shall provide notice to the Borrower thereof. Each
Participant may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off)
with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations
payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the direct holder thereof
provided that Borrower shall not be required to pay to any Participant more than
the amount which it would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an
interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such

                                       79

Participant had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or
other Obligations payable hereunder and in no event shall Borrower be required
to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to
the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and
such Participant. Borrower hereby grants to any Participant a continuing
security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or
constructively held by such Participant as security for the Participant's
interest in the Advances.

                  (c) Any Lender may with the consent of Agent which shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed sell, assign or transfer all or any part of
its rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more
additional banks or financial institutions and one or more additional banks or
financial institutions may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing
Lender", and together with each Participant, each a "Transferee" and
collectively the "Transferees"), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000,
pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender,
the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer
effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i)
Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided
in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender thereunder with a Commitment Percentage as set forth therein, and (ii)
the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that
purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this
Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the
addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the
Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of
all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under
this Agreement and the Other Documents. Borrower hereby consents to the addition
of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment
Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a
portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this
Agreement and the Other Documents. Borrower shall execute and deliver such
further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the
foregoing.

                  (d) Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each
Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the "Register")
for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the
outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due hereunder.
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest
error, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by
Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500
payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender upon the effective date of each
transfer or assignment to such Purchasing Lender.

                  (e) Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any
Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in
such Lender's possession concerning Borrower which has been delivered to such
Lender by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection
with such Lender's credit evaluation of Borrower.

                                       80

            15.4 Application of Payments. Agent shall have the continuing and
exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all
proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that
Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds
of the Collateral for Borrower's benefit, which are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to
a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under
any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the
Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such
Lender.

            15.5 Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender and each
of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and
agents from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever (including fees and disbursements of counsel) which
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent or any Lender in any
claim, litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any
Governmental Body or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any
aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter
related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not Agent or any
Lender is a party thereto, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises
out of the willful misconduct of the party being indemnified (as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including
fees and disbursements of counsel) asserted against or incurred by any of the
indemnitees described above in this Section 15.5 by any Person under any
Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of Borrower's or any other Person's
failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials,
including Hazardous Substances and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances.
Additionally, if any taxes (excluding taxes imposed upon or measured solely by
the net income of Agent and Lenders, but including any intangibles taxes, stamp
tax, recording tax or franchise tax) shall be payable by Agent, Lenders or
Borrower on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the
execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the Other Documents, or the
creation or repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any
Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, Borrower will pay (or will promptly
reimburse Agent and Lenders for payment of) all such taxes, including interest
and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold the indemnitees described
above in this Section 15.5 harmless from and against all liability in connection
therewith.

Borrower or to Agent or any Lender at their respective addresses set forth below
or at such other address as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as

3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 4.19(h), and 15.5 and the obligations of Lenders under Section
14.7, shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents and
payment in full of the Obligations.

            15.8 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to,
prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws or regulations, such
provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary,
prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby
and shall be given effect so far as possible.

            15.9 Expenses. All costs and expenses including reasonable
attorneys' fees (including the allocated costs of in house counsel) and
disbursements incurred by Agent on its behalf or on behalf of Lenders and
Lenders (a) in all efforts made to enforce payment of any Obligation or effect
collection of any Collateral, or (b) in connection with the entering into,
modification, amendment, administration and enforcement of this Agreement or any

Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or
discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be

entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without
the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

            15.11 Damages. Neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any agent or
attorney for any of them, shall be liable to Borrower (or any Affiliate of any
such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising

counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to

            15.15 Confidentiality; Sharing Information.

                  (a) Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall hold all
non-public information obtained by Agent, such Lender or such Transferee
pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with Agent's, such
Lender's and such Transferee's customary procedures for handling confidential
information of this nature; provided, however, Agent, each Lender and each
Transferee may disclose such confidential information (a) to its examiners,
Affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and other professional advisors, (b) to
Agent, any Lender or to any prospective Transferees, and (c) as required or
requested by any Governmental Body or representative thereof or pursuant to
legal process; provided, further that (i) unless specifically prohibited by
Applicable Law or court order, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall use

                                       84

its reasonable best efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify Borrower of
the applicable request for disclosure of such non-public information (A) by a
Governmental Body or representative thereof (other than any such request in
connection with an examination of the financial condition of a Lender or a
Transferee by such Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (ii)
in no event shall Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to return any
materials furnished by Borrower other than those documents and instruments in
possession of Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral
once the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement has been
terminated.

                  (b) Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial
advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to
Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or
otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such
Lender and Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information
delivered to such Lender by Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this
Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this
Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being
understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such
information shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 15.15 as if it were
a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

            15.16 Publicity. Borrower and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to
make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered into among
Borrower, Agent and Lenders, including announcements which are commonly known as
tombstones, in such publications and to such selected parties as Agent shall in
its sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate.

            15.17 Certifications From Banks and Participants; US PATRIOT Act.
Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated
under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not
excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA
PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate
of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence
in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a
banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign
bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable,
recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a "shell" and certifying to
other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the
applicable regulations: (1) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (2) as
such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

Mortgage and Security Agreement                                [LOGO OF PNCBANK]

      THIS MORTGAGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "Mortgage") is made as of the
30th day of November, 2005, by AIR INDUSTRIES MACHINING, CORP., a New York
corporation (the "Mortgagor" and the "Borrower"), with an address at 1479
Clinton Avenue, Bay Shore, New York 11706 in favor of PNC BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION (the "Mortgagee"), with an address at Two Tower Center Boulevard,
East Brunswick, New Jersey 08816.

      WHEREAS, the Mortgagor is the owner of a certain tract or parcel of land
described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with the
improvements now or hereafter erected thereon; and

      WHEREAS, pursuant to a certain Revolving Credit, Term Loan, Equipment Line
of Credit and Security Agreement by and among the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, the
other financial institutions named therein (collectively with the Mortgagee, the
"Lenders"), and the Mortgagee as Agent for the Lenders (Mortgagee in such
capacity, the "Agent") dated the date hereof (as may be amended, modified,
restated, replaced, increased and/or extended from time to time, the "Loan
Agreement"), the Borrower has borrowed from the Lenders certain loans in the
original principal amount of $14,000,000 (as such amount may be increased and/or
decreased from time to time, the "Loan") as evidenced by a certain Revolving
Credit Note executed by the Borrower in favor of the Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders in the original principal amount of $9,000,000 dated the date
hereof, a certain Term Note executed by the Borrower in favor of the Agent for
the benefit of the Lenders in the original principal amount of $3,500,000 dated
the date hereof, a certain Equipment Line of Credit Note executed by the
Borrower in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the original
principal amount of $1,500,000 dated the date hereof and certain Converted

for the benefit of the Lenders from time to time (collectively and with any and
all other notes that may be delivered from time to time in connection with any
obligation of the Borrower to the Lenders, as all may be amended, modified,
restated, replaced, increased and/or extended from time to time, the "Note"),
which Loan Agreement and Note are incorporated herein by reference and made a
part hereof;

      NOW, THEREFORE, for the purpose of securing the payment and performance of
the following obligations (collectively called the "Obligations"):

(A) The Loan, the Note and all other loans, advances, debts, liabilities,
obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee or to
any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group,
Inc., of any kind or nature, present or future (including any interest accruing
thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or
the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating
to the Mortgagor, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition
interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect (including
those acquired by assignment or participation), absolute or contingent, joint or
several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not
(i) evidenced by any note, guaranty or other instrument, (ii) arising under any
agreement, instrument or document, (iii) for the payment of money, (iv) arising
by reason of an extension of credit, opening of a letter of credit, loan,
equipment lease or guarantee, (v) under any interest or currency swap, future,
option or other interest rate protection or similar agreement, (vi) under or by
reason of any foreign currency transaction, forward, option or other similar
transaction providing for the purchase of one currency in exchange for the sale
of another currency, or in any other manner, or (vii) arising out of overdrafts
on deposit or other accounts or out of electronic funds transfers (whether by
wire transfer or through automated clearing houses or otherwise) or out of the
return unpaid of, or other failure of the Mortgagee to receive final payment
for, any check, item, instrument, payment order or other deposit or credit to a
deposit or other account, or out of the Mortgagee's non-receipt of or inability
to collect funds or otherwise not being made whole in connection with depository
or other similar arrangements; and any amendments, extensions, renewals and
increases of or to any of the foregoing, and all costs and expenses of the
Mortgagee incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement,
collection and otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Mortgage, the maximum aggregate principal amount of the

Obligations that is, or under any contingency may be, secured by this Mortgage
(including Borrower's obligation to reimburse advances made by any Lender),
either at execution or any time thereafter is $4,000,000 (collectively, with the
following, the "Secured Amount"), plus amounts that any Lender expends after a
declaration of default under this Mortgage to the extent that any such amounts
shall constitute payment of (i) taxes, charges or assessments that may be
imposed by law upon any of the Property; (ii) premiums on insurance policies
covering any of the Property; (iii) expenses incurred in upholding the lien of
this Mortgage, including the expenses of any litigation to prosecute or defend
the rights and lien created by this Mortgage; or, (iv) any amount, cost or
charge to which any Lender becomes subrogated, upon payment, whether under
recognized principles of law or equity, or under express statutory authority;
then, in each such event, such amounts or costs, together with interest thereon,
shall be added to the Obligations secured hereby and shall be secured by this
Mortgage.

      (B) Any sums advanced by the Mortgagee or which may otherwise become due
pursuant to the provisions of the Note or this Mortgage or pursuant to any other
document or instrument at any time delivered to the Mortgagee to evidence or
secure any of the Obligations or which otherwise relate to any of the
Obligations (as the same may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to
time, the "Loan Documents").

The Mortgagor, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, does hereby give, grant,
bargain, sell, convey, assign, transfer, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, set over
and confirm unto the Mortgagee and does agree that the Mortgagee shall have a
security interest in the following described property, all accessions and
additions thereto, all substitutions therefor and replacements and proceeds
thereof, and all reversions and remainders of such property now owned or held or
hereafter acquired (the "Property"), to wit:

            (a) All of the Mortgagor's estate in the premises described in
Exhibit A, together with all of the easements, rights of way, privileges,
liberties, hereditaments, gores, streets, alleys, passages, ways, waters,
watercourses, rights and appurtenances thereunto belonging or appertaining, and
all of the Mortgagor's estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand therein
and in the public streets and ways adjacent thereto, either in law or in equity
(the "Land");

            (b) All the buildings, structures and improvements of every kind and
description now or hereafter erected or placed on the Land, and all facilities,
fixtures, machinery, apparatus, appliances, installations, machinery and
equipment, including all building materials to be incorporated into such
buildings, all electrical equipment necessary for the operation of such
buildings and heating, air conditioning and plumbing equipment now or hereafter
attached to, located in or used in connection with those buildings, structures
or other improvements (the "Improvements");

            (c) All rents, issues and profits arising or issuing from the Land
and the Improvements (the "Rents") including the Rents arising or issuing from
all leases, licenses, subleases or any other use or occupancy agreement now or
hereafter entered into covering all or any part of the Land and Improvements
(the "Leases"), all of which Leases and Rents are hereby assigned to the
Mortgagee by the Mortgagor. The foregoing assignment shall be an absolute
assignment of all of the Mortgagor's entire interest in the Rents. The foregoing
assignment shall also include all fees, charges, accounts or other payments for
the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities in hotels, motels, or
other lodging properties, and all cash or securities deposited under Leases to

                                      -2-

secure performance of lessees of their obligations thereunder, whether such cash
or securities are to be held until the expiration of the terms of such leases or
applied to one or more installments of rent coming due prior to the expiration
of such terms. The foregoing assignment extends to Rents arising both before and
after the commencement by or against the Mortgagor of any case or proceeding
under any Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, and is
intended as an absolute assignment and not merely the granting of a security
interest. The Mortgagor, however, shall have a license to collect, retain and
use the Rents so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or shall exist. The Mortgagor will execute and deliver to the
Mortgagee, on demand, such additional assignments and instruments as the
Mortgagee may require to confirm, maintain and continue the assignment of Rents
hereunder;

            (d) All proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any
of the foregoing into cash or liquidated claims; and

            (e) Without limiting any of the other provisions of this Mortgage,
the Mortgagor, as debtor, expressly grants unto the Mortgagee, as secured party,
a security interest in all personal property of the Mortgagor, including the
following, all whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever
located: (i) accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables and credit
card receivables); (ii) securities entitlements, securities accounts, commodity
accounts, commodity contracts and investment property; (iii) deposit accounts;
(iv) instruments (including promissory notes); (v) documents (including
warehouse receipts); (vi) chattel paper (including electronic chattel paper and
tangible chattel paper); (vii) inventory, including raw materials, work in
process, or materials used or consumed in Mortgagor's business, items held for
sale or lease or furnished or to be furnished under contracts of service, sale
or lease, goods that are returned, reclaimed or repossessed; (viii) goods of
every nature, including stock-in-trade, goods on consignment, standing timber
that is to be cut and removed under a conveyance or contract for sale, the
unborn young of animals, crops grown, growing, or to be grown, manufactured
homes, computer programs embedded in such goods and farm products; (ix)
equipment, including machinery, vehicles and furniture; (x) fixtures; (xi)
agricultural liens; (xii) as-extracted collateral; (xiii) letter of credit
rights; (xiv) general intangibles, of every kind and description, including
payment intangibles, software, computer information, source codes, object codes,
records and data, all existing and future customer lists, choses in action,
claims (including claims for indemnification or breach of warranty), books,
records, patents and patent applications, copyrights, trademarks, tradenames,
tradestyles, trademark applications, goodwill, blueprints, drawings, designs and
plans, trade secrets, contracts, licenses, license agreements, formulae, tax and
any other types of refunds, returned and unearned insurance premiums, rights and
claims under insurance policies; (xv) all supporting obligations of all of the
foregoing property; (xvi) all property of the Mortgagor now or hereafter in the
Mortgagee's possession or in transit to or from, or under the custody or control
of, the Mortgagee or any affiliate thereof; (xvii) all cash and cash equivalents
thereof; and (xviii) all cash and noncash proceeds (including insurance
proceeds) of all of the foregoing property, all products thereof and all
additions and accessions thereto, substitutions therefor and replacements
thereof. The Mortgagor will execute and deliver to the Mortgagee on demand such
financing statements and other instruments as the Mortgagee may require in order
to perfect, protect and maintain such security interest under the Uniform
Commercial Code ("UCC") on the aforesaid collateral.

      To have and to hold the same unto the Mortgagee, its successors and
assigns, forever.

      Provided, however, that if the Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee the
Obligations, and if the Mortgagor shall keep and perform each of its other
covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, then, upon the termination of all obligations, duties and commitments
of the Mortgagor under the Obligations and this Mortgage, and subject to the
provisions of the paragraph entitled "Survival; Successors and Assigns", the
estate hereby granted and conveyed shall become null and void.

                                      -3-

      1. Representations and Warranties. The Mortgagor represents and warrants
to the Mortgagee that (i) the Mortgagor has good and marketable title to an
estate in fee simple absolute in the Land and Improvements and has all right,
title and interest in all other property constituting a part of the Property, in
each case free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except as may otherwise
be set forth on an Exhibit B hereto and (ii) its name, type of organization,
jurisdiction of organization and chief executive office are true and complete as
set forth in the heading of this Mortgage. This Mortgage is a valid and
enforceable first lien on the Property and the Mortgagee shall, subject to the
Mortgagor's right of possession prior to an Event of Default, quietly enjoy and
possess the Property. The Mortgagor shall preserve such title as it warrants
herein and the validity and priority of the lien hereof and shall forever
warrant and defend the same to the Mortgagee against the claims of all persons.

      2. Affirmative Covenants. Until all of the Obligations shall have been
fully paid, satisfied and discharged the Mortgagor shall:

            (a) Payment and Performance of Obligations. Pay or cause to be paid
and perform all Obligations when due as provided in the Loan Documents.

            (b) Legal Requirements. Promptly comply with and conform to all
present and future laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders and regulations and
all covenants, restrictions and conditions which may be applicable to the
Mortgagor or to any of the Property (the "Legal Requirements").

            (c) Impositions. Before interest or penalties are due thereon and
otherwise when due, the Mortgagor shall pay all taxes of every kind and nature,
all charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the benefit of any of
the Property, all general and special assessments (including any condominium or
planned unit development assessments, if any), levies, permits, inspection and
license fees, all water and sewer rents and charges, and all other charges and
liens, whether of a like or different nature, imposed upon or assessed against
the Mortgagor or any of the Property (the "Impositions"). Within thirty (30)
days after the payment of any Imposition, the Mortgagor shall deliver to the
Mortgagee written evidence acceptable to the Mortgagee of such payment. The
Mortgagor's obligations to pay the Impositions shall survive the Mortgagee's
taking title to (and possession of) the Property through foreclosure,
deed-in-lieu or otherwise, as well as the termination of the Mortgage including,
without limitation, by merger into a deed.

            (d) Maintenance of Security. Use, and permit others to use, the
Property only for its present use or such other uses as permitted by applicable
Legal Requirements and approved in writing by the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor shall
keep the Property in good condition and order and in a rentable and tenantable
state of repair and will make or cause to be made, as and when necessary, all
repairs, renewals, and replacements, structural and nonstructural, exterior and
interior, foreseen and unforeseen, ordinary and extraordinary, provided,
however, that no structural repairs, renewals or replacements shall be made
without the Mortgagee's prior written consent. The Mortgagor shall not remove or
demolish the Property nor commit or suffer waste with respect thereto, nor
permit the Property to become deserted or abandoned. The Mortgagor covenants and
agrees not to take or permit any action with respect to the Property which will
in any manner impair the security of this Mortgage or the use of the Property as
set forth in the Loan Documents.

                                      -4-

      3. Leases. The Mortgagor shall not (a) execute an assignment or pledge of
the Rents or the Leases other than in favor of the Mortgagee; (b) accept any
prepayment of an installment of any Rents prior to the due date of such
installment; or (c) enter into or amend any of the terms of any of the Leases
without the Mortgagee's prior written consent. Any or all leases or subleases of
all or any part of the Property shall be subject in all respects to the
Mortgagee's prior written consent, shall be subordinated to this Mortgage and to
the Mortgagee's rights and, together with any and all rents, issues or profits
relating thereto, shall be assigned at the time of execution to the Mortgagee as
additional collateral security for the Obligations, all in such form, substance
and detail as is satisfactory to the Mortgagee in its sole discretion.

      4. Due on Sale Clause. The Mortgagor shall not sell, convey or otherwise
transfer any interest in the Property (whether voluntarily or by operation of
law), or agree to do so, without the Mortgagee's prior written consent,
including (a) any sale, conveyance, assignment, or other transfer of (including
installment land sale contracts), or the grant of a security interest in, all or
any part of the legal or equitable title to the Property; (b) any lease of all
of the Property; or (c) any sale, conveyance, encumbrance, assignment, or other
transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, any share of stock of the
Mortgagor, if a corporation or any partnership interest in the Mortgagor, if a
partnership, or any membership interest, if a limited liability entity, except
in favor of the Mortgagee. Any default under this Section shall cause an
immediate acceleration of the Obligations without any demand by the Mortgagee.

      5. Insurance. The Mortgagor shall keep the Property continuously insured,
in an amount not less than the cost to replace the Property or an amount not
less than eighty percent (80%) of the full insurable value of the Property,
whichever is greater, covering such risks and in such amounts and with such
deductibles as are satisfactory to the Mortgagee and its counsel including,
without limitation, insurance against loss or damage by fire, with extended
coverage and against other hazards as the Mortgagee may from time to time
require. With respect to any property under construction or reconstruction, the
Mortgagor shall maintain builder's risk insurance. The Mortgagor shall also
maintain comprehensive general public liability insurance, in an amount of not
less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate per location, which includes contractual
liability insurance for the Mortgagor's obligations under the Leases, and
worker's compensation insurance. All property and builder's risk insurance shall
include protection for continuation of income for a period of twelve (12)
months, in the event of any damage caused by the perils referred to above. All
policies, including policies for any amounts carried in excess of the required
minimum and policies not specifically required by the Mortgagee, shall be with
an insurance company or companies satisfactory to the Mortgagee, shall be in
form satisfactory to the Mortgagee, shall meet all coinsurance requirements of
the Mortgagee, shall be maintained in full force and effect, shall be assigned
to the Mortgagee, with premiums prepaid, as collateral security for payment of
the Obligations, shall be endorsed with a standard mortgagee clause in favor of
the Mortgagee and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days notice of
cancellation to the Mortgagee. Such insurance shall also name the Mortgagee as
an additional insured, lender loss payee and mortgagee under the comprehensive
general public liability and property insurance policies and the Mortgagor shall
also deliver to the Mortgagee a copy of the replacement cost coverage
endorsement. If the Property is located in an area which has been identified by
any governmental agency, authority or body as a flood hazard area or the like,
then the Mortgagor shall maintain a flood insurance policy covering the Property
in an amount not less than the original principal amount of the Loan or the
maximum limit of coverage available under the federal program, whichever amount
is less.

      6. Rights of Mortgagee to Insurance Proceeds. In the event of loss, the
Mortgagee shall have the exclusive right to adjust, collect and compromise all
insurance claims, and the Mortgagor shall not adjust, collect or compromise any
claims under said policies without the Mortgagee's prior written consent. Each
insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said policies,
including return of unearned premiums, directly to the Mortgagee instead of to

                                      -5-

the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee jointly, and the Mortgagor appoints the
Mortgagee as the Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor. All
insurance proceeds may, at the Mortgagee's sole option, be applied to all or any
part of the Obligations and in any order (notwithstanding that such Obligations
may not then otherwise be due and payable) or to the repair and restoration of
any of the Property under such terms and conditions as the Mortgagee may impose.

      7. Installments for Insurance, Taxes and Other Charges. Upon the
Mortgagee's request, the Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee monthly, an amount
equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums for the insurance policies
referred to hereinabove and the annual Impositions and any other item which at
any time may be or become a lien upon the Property (the "Escrow Charges"). The
amounts so paid shall be used in payment of the Escrow Charges so long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred. No amount so paid to the Mortgagee shall
be deemed to be trust funds, nor shall any sums paid bear interest. The
Mortgagee shall have no obligation to pay any insurance premium or Imposition if
at any time the funds being held by the Mortgagee for such premium or Imposition
are insufficient to make such payments. If, at any time, the funds being held by
the Mortgagee for any insurance premium or Imposition are exhausted, or if the
Mortgagee determines, in its sole discretion, that such funds will be
insufficient to pay in full any insurance premium or Imposition when due, the
Mortgagor shall promptly pay to the Mortgagee, upon demand, an amount which the
Mortgagee shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall have the right, at its
election, to apply any amount so held against the Obligations due and payable in
such order as the Mortgagee may deem fit, and the Mortgagor hereby grants to the
Mortgagee a lien upon and security interest in such amounts for such purpose.

      8. Condemnation. The Mortgagor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of
the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation or taking by eminent
domain of any of the Property, shall notify the Mortgagee of the pendency of
such proceedings. The Mortgagee may participate in any such proceedings and the
Mortgagor shall deliver to the Mortgagee all instruments requested by it to
permit such participation. Any award or compensation for property taken or for
damage to property not taken, whether as a result of such proceedings or in lieu
thereof, is hereby assigned to and shall be received and collected directly by
the Mortgagee, and any award or compensation shall be applied, at the
Mortgagee's option, to any part of the Obligations and in any order
(notwithstanding that any of such Obligations may not then be due and payable)
or to the repair and restoration of any of the Property under such terms and
conditions as the Mortgagee may impose.

      9. Environmental Matters. (a) For purposes of this Section 9, the term
"Environmental Laws" shall mean all federal, state and local laws, regulations
and orders, whether now or in the future enacted or issued, pertaining to the
protection of land, water, air, health, safety or the environment. The term
"Regulated Substances" shall mean all substances regulated by Environmental
Laws, or which are known or considered to be harmful to the health or safety of
persons, or the presence of which may require investigation, notification or
remediation under the Environmental Laws. The term "Contamination" shall mean
the discharge, release, emission, disposal or escape of any Regulated Substances
into the environment.

            (b) The Mortgagor represents and warrants to Borrower's knowledge
(i) that no Contamination is present at, on or under the Property and that no
Contamination is being or has been emitted onto any surrounding property; (ii)
all operations and activities on the Property have been and are being conducted
in accordance with all Environmental Laws, and the Mortgagor has all permits and
licenses required under the Environmental Laws; (iii) except as set forth on
Exhibit C attached hereto, no underground or aboveground storage tanks are or
have been located on or under the Property; and (iv) no legal or administrative
proceeding is pending or threatened relating to any environmental condition,
operation or activity on the Property, or any violation or alleged violation of
Environmental Laws. These representations and warranties shall be true as of the
date hereof, and shall be deemed to be continuing representations and warranties
which must remain true, correct and accurate during the entire duration of the
term of this Mortgage.

                                      -6-

            (c) The Mortgagor shall ensure, at its sole cost and expense, that
the Property and the conduct of all operations and activities thereon comply and
continue to comply with all Environmental Laws. The Mortgagor shall notify the
Mortgagee promptly and in reasonable detail in the event that the Mortgagor
becomes aware of any violation of any Environmental Laws, the presence or
release of any Contamination with respect to the Property, or any governmental
or third party claims relating to the environmental condition of the Property or
the conduct of operations or activities thereon. The Mortgagor also agrees not
to permit or allow the presence of Regulated Substances on any part of the
Property, except for (i) those Regulated Substances which are used in the
ordinary course of the Mortgagor's business, but only to the extent they are in
all cases used in a manner which complies with all Environmental Laws; and (ii)
those Regulated Substances which are naturally occurring on the Property. The
Mortgagor agrees not to cause, allow or permit the presence of any Contamination
on the Property.

            (d) The Mortgagee shall not be liable for, and the Mortgagor shall
indemnify, defend and hold the Mortgagee and the Indemnified Parties (as
hereinafter defined) and all of their respective successors and assigns harmless
from and against all losses, costs, liabilities, damages, fines, claims,
penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys', consultants' and
contractors' fees, costs incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement
of claims, as well as costs incurred in connection with the investigation,
remediation or monitoring of any Regulated Substances or Contamination) that the
Mortgagee or any Indemnified Party may suffer or incur (including as holder of
the Mortgage, as mortgagee in possession or as successor in interest to the
Mortgagor as owner of the Property by virtue of a foreclosure or acceptance of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure) as a result of or in connection with (i) any
Environmental Laws (including the assertion that any lien existing or arising
pursuant to any Environmental Laws takes priority over the lien of the
Mortgage); (ii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
undertaking by the Mortgagor in this Section 9; (iii) the presence on or the
migration of any Contamination or Regulated Substances on, under or through the
Property; or (iv) any litigation or claim by the government or by any third
party in connection with the environmental condition of the Property or the
presence or migration of any Regulated Substances or Contamination on, under, to
or from the Property.

            (e) Upon the Mortgagee's request, the Mortgagor shall execute and
deliver an Environmental Indemnity Agreement satisfactory in form and substance
to the Mortgagee, to more fully reflect the Mortgagor's representations,
warranties, covenants and indemnities with respect to the Environmental Laws.

      10. Inspection of Property. The Mortgagee shall have the right to enter
the Property at any reasonable hour for the purpose of inspecting the order,
condition and repair of the buildings and improvements erected thereon, as well
as the conduct of operations and activities on the Property. The Mortgagee may
enter the Property (and cause the Mortgagee's employees, agents and consultants
to enter the Property), upon prior written notice to the Mortgagor, to conduct
any and all environmental testing deemed appropriate by the Mortgagee in its
sole discretion. The environmental testing shall be accomplished by whatever
means the Mortgagee may deem reasonably appropriate, including the taking of
soil samples and the installation of ground water monitoring wells or other
intrusive environmental tests. The Mortgagor shall provide the Mortgagee (and
the Mortgagee's employees, agents and consultants) reasonable rights of access
to the Property as well as such information about the Property and the past or
present conduct of operations and activities thereon as the Mortgagee shall
reasonably request.

                                      -7-

      11. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder: (a) any Event of
Default (as defined in any of the Obligations); (b) any default under any of the
Obligations that does not have a defined set of "Events of Default" and the
lapse of any notice or cure period provided in such Obligations with respect to
such default; (c) demand by the Mortgagee under any of the Obligations that have
a demand feature; (d) the Mortgagor's failure to perform any of its obligations
under this Mortgage or under any Environmental Indemnity Agreement executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 9(e); (e) falsity, inaccuracy or material breach
by the Mortgagor of any written warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to the Mortgagee by or on behalf of the Mortgagor; (f) an uninsured
material loss, theft, damage, or destruction to any of the Property, or the
entry of any judgment against the Mortgagor or any lien against or the making of
any levy, seizure or attachment of or on the Property; (g) the Mortgagee's
failure to have a mortgage lien on the Property with the priority required under
Section 1; (h) any indication or evidence received by the Mortgagee that the
Mortgagor may have directly or indirectly been engaged in any type of activity
which, in the Mortgagee's discretion, might result in the forfeiture of any
property of the Mortgagor to any governmental entity, federal, state or local;
(i) foreclosure proceedings are instituted against the Property upon any other
lien or claim, whether alleged to be superior or junior to the lien of this
Mortgage; (j) the failure by the Mortgagor to pay any Impositions as required
under Section 2(c), or to maintain in full force and effect any insurance
required under Section 5.

      12. Rights and Remedies of Mortgagee. If an Event of Default occurs, the
Mortgagee may, at its option and without demand, notice or delay, do one or more
of the following:

            (a) The Mortgagee may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of
the Obligations, together with all interest thereon, to be due and payable
immediately.

            (b) The Mortgagee may (i) institute and maintain an action of
mortgage foreclosure against the Property and the interests of the Mortgagor
therein, (ii) institute and maintain an action on any instruments evidencing the
Obligations or any portion thereof, and (iii) take such other action at law or
in equity for the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents as the law may allow,
and in each such action the Mortgagee shall be entitled to all costs of suit and
attorneys' fees.

            (c) The Mortgagee may, in its sole and absolute discretion: (i)
collect any or all of the Rents, including any Rents past due and unpaid, (ii)
perform any obligation or exercise any right or remedy of the Mortgagor under
any Lease, or (iii) enforce any obligation of any tenant of any of the Property.
The Mortgagee may exercise any right under this subsection (c), whether or not
the Mortgagee shall have entered into possession of any of the Property, and
nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting the Mortgagee a
"mortgagee in possession", unless the Mortgagee shall have entered into and
shall continue to be in actual possession of the Property. The Mortgagor hereby
authorizes and directs each and every present and future tenant of any of the
Property to pay all Rents directly to the Mortgagee and to perform all other
obligations of that tenant for the direct benefit of the Mortgagee, as if the
Mortgagee were the landlord under the Lease with that tenant, immediately upon
receipt of a demand by the Mortgagee to make such payment or perform such
obligations. The Mortgagor hereby waives any right, claim or demand it may now
or hereafter have against any such tenant by reason of such payment of Rents or
performance of obligations to the Mortgagee, and any such payment or performance
to the Mortgagee shall discharge the obligations of the tenant to make such
payment or performance to the Mortgagor.

            (d) The Mortgagee shall have the right, in connection with the
exercise of its remedies hereunder, to the appointment of a receiver to take
possession and control of the Property or to collect the Rents, without notice
and without regard to the adequacy of the Property to secure the Obligations.
The Mortgagee or a receiver, while in possession of the Property, shall have the
right to make repairs and to make improvements necessary or advisable in its or
his opinion to preserve the Property, or to make and keep them rentable to the
best advantage, and the Mortgagee may advance moneys to a receiver for such
purposes. Any moneys so expended or advanced by the Mortgagee or by a receiver
shall be added to and become a part of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage.

                                      -8-

      13. Application of Proceeds. The Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of any
foreclosure sale of, or other disposition or realization upon, or Rents or
profits from, the Property to satisfy the Obligations in such order of
application as the Mortgagee shall determine in its exclusive discretion.

      14. Mortgagee's Right to Protect Security. The Mortgagee is hereby
authorized to do any one or more of the following, irrespective of whether an
Event of Default has occurred: (a) appear in and defend any action or proceeding
purporting to affect the security hereof or the Mortgagee's rights or powers
hereunder; (b) purchase such insurance policies covering the Property as it may
elect if the Mortgagor fails to maintain the insurance coverage required
hereunder; and (c) take such action as the Mortgagee may determine to pay,
perform or comply with any Impositions or Legal Requirements, to cure any Events
of Default and to protect its security in the Property.

      15. Appointment of Mortgagee as Attorney-in-Fact. The Mortgagee, or any of
its officers, is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact for the Mortgagor
(without requiring any of them to act as such), such appointment being coupled
with an interest, to do any or all of the following: (a) collect the Rents after
the occurrence of an Event of Default; (b) settle for, collect and receive any
awards payable under Section 8 from the authorities making the same; and (c)
execute, deliver and file, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense such financing,
continuation or amendment statements and other instruments as the Mortgagee may
require in order to perfect, protect and maintain its security interest under
the UCC on any portion of the Property.

      16. Certain Waivers. The Mortgagor hereby waives and releases all benefit
that might accrue to the Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future law
exempting the Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale
thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any stay
of execution, exemption from civil process or extension of time for payment or
any rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property,
and, unless specifically required herein, all notices of the Mortgagor's default
or of the Mortgagee's election to exercise, or the Mortgagee's actual exercise
of any option under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document.

      17. No Merger. There shall be no merger of the interest or estate created
by this Mortgage with any other interest or estate in the Property at any time
held by or for the benefit of the Mortgagee or any subsidiary or affiliate in
any capacity, without the express prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

      18. Mortgage Secures Future Advances. This Mortgage is given for the
purpose of creating a lien on real property in order to secure not only existing
indebtedness, but also future advances, whether such advances are obligatory or
to be made at the option of the Mortgagee, or otherwise, and whether made before
or after a default or Event of Default or maturity or other similar events, to
the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the
execution hereof, although there may be no advance made at the time of the
execution hereof and although there may be no indebtedness outstanding at the
time any advance is made. The types of future advances secured by and having
priority under this Mortgage shall include, without limitation, (i) advances and
readvances of principal under the Note or other Loan Documents and (ii)
disbursements and other advances for the payment of taxes, assessments,
maintenance charges, insurance premiums or costs relating to the Property, for
the discharge of liens having priority over the lien of this Mortgage, for the
curing of waste of the Property and for the payment of service charges and
expenses incurred by reason of default and including late charges, attorneys'
fees and court costs, together with interest thereon. The lien of this Mortgage,
as to third persons with or without actual knowledge thereof, shall be valid as
to all such indebtedness and future advances, from the date of recordation, to

                                      -9-

the extent permitted by the laws of the state in which the Property is situated.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the amount of the Obligations may increase and
decrease from time to time as the Lenders advance, Borrower repays, and Lenders
readvance sums on account of the Loan, all as more fully described in the Loan
Agreement. For purposes of this Mortgage, so long as the balance of the Loan
equals or exceeds the Secured Amount, the amount of the Loan secured by this
Mortgage shall at all times equal only the Secured Amount as more fully
described herein. Such Secured Amount represents only a portion of the first
sums advanced by Lenders with respect to the Loan.

      19. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other
communications required or permitted hereunder ("Notices") must be in writing
and will be effective upon receipt. Notices may be given in any manner to which
the parties may separately agree, including electronic mail. Without limiting
the foregoing, first-class mail, facsimile transmission and commercial courier
service are hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for giving Notices.
Regardless of the manner in which provided, Notices may be sent to a party's
address as set forth above or to such other address as any party may give to the
other for such purpose in accordance with this section.

      20. Further Acts. By its signature hereon, the Mortgagor hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Mortgagee to execute (on behalf of the Mortgagor) and
file against the Mortgagor one or more financing, continuation or amendment
statements pursuant to the UCC in form satisfactory to the Mortgagee, and the
Mortgagor will pay the cost of preparing and filing the same in all
jurisdictions in which such filing is deemed by the Mortgagee to be necessary or
desirable in order to perfect, preserve and protect its security interests. If
required by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor will execute all documentation
necessary for the Mortgagee to obtain and maintain perfection of its security
interests in the Property. The Mortgagor will, at the cost of the Mortgagor, and
without expense to the Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and
every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of
assignment, transfers and assurances as the Mortgagee shall, from time to time,
require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring or
confirming unto the Mortgagee the property and rights hereby mortgaged, or which
Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the
Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intent of or facilitating the performance of
the terms of this Mortgage or for filing, registering or recording this
Mortgage. The Mortgagor grants to the Mortgagee an irrevocable power of attorney
coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and
all rights and remedies available to the Mortgagee under the Note, this
Mortgage, the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, including, without
limitation, the rights and remedies described in this paragraph.

      21. Changes in the Laws Regarding Taxation. If any law is enacted or
adopted or amended after the date of this Mortgage which deducts the Obligations
from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a
tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee's interest
in the Property, the Mortgagor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties
thereon, if any. If the Mortgagee determines that the payment of such tax or
interest and penalties by the Mortgagor would be unlawful or taxable to the
Mortgagee or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then the
Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90)
days, to declare the entire Obligations immediately due and payable.

      22. Documentary Stamps. If at any time the United States of America, any
State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or
other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Mortgage, or impose any other tax
or charge on the same, the Mortgagor will pay for the same, with interest and
penalties thereon, if any.

                                      -10-

      23. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission on the Mortgagee's part
to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or
power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will the
Mortgagee's action or inaction impair any such right or power. The Mortgagee's
rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other
rights or remedies which the Mortgagee may have under other agreements, at law
or in equity.

      24. Illegality. If any provision contained in this Mortgage should be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect or impair
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Mortgage.

      25. Changes in Writing. No modification, amendment or waiver of, or
consent to any departure by the Mortgagor from, any provision of this Mortgage
will be effective unless made in a writing signed by the Mortgagee, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Mortgagor will
entitle the Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstance.

      26. Entire Agreement. This Mortgage (including the documents and
instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes
all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between
the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee with respect to the subject matter hereof.

      27. Survival; Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee and their respective
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however,
that the Mortgagor may not assign this Mortgage in whole or in part without the
Mortgagee's prior written consent and the Mortgagee at any time may assign this
Mortgage in whole or in part; and provided, further, that the rights and
benefits under the Paragraphs entitled "Environmental Matters", "Inspection of
Property" and "Indemnity" shall also inure to the benefit of any persons or
entities who acquire title or ownership of the Property from or through the
Mortgagee or through action of the Mortgagee (including a foreclosure, sheriff's
or judicial sale). The provisions of Paragraphs entitled "Environmental
Matters", "Inspection of Property" and "Indemnity" shall survive the
termination, satisfaction or release of this Mortgage, the foreclosure of this
Mortgage or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

      28. Interpretation. In this Mortgage, unless the Mortgagee and the
Mortgagor otherwise agree in writing, the singular includes the plural and the
plural the singular; words importing any gender include the other genders;
references to statutes are to be construed as including all statutory provisions
consolidating, amending or replacing the statute referred to; the word "or"
shall be deemed to include "and/or", the words "including", "includes" and
"include" shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation";
references to articles, sections (or subdivisions of sections) or exhibits are
to those of this Mortgage; and references to agreements and other contractual
instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments and other
modifications to such instruments, but only to the extent such amendments and
other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of this Mortgage. Section
headings in this Mortgage are included for convenience of reference only and
shall not constitute a part of this Mortgage for any other purpose. If this
Mortgage is executed by more than one party as Mortgagor, the obligations of
such persons or entities will be joint and several. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan
Agreement.

      29. Indemnity. The Mortgagor agrees to indemnify each of the Mortgagee,
each legal entity, if any, who controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with the Mortgagee and each of their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents (the "Indemnified Parties"), and to hold each Indemnified
Party harmless from and against, any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities and expenses (including all fees and charges of internal or external
counsel with whom any Indemnified Party may consult and all expenses of

                                      -11-

litigation and preparation therefor) which any Indemnified Party may incur, or
which may be asserted against any Indemnified Party by any person, entity or
governmental authority (including any person or entity claiming derivatively on
behalf of the Mortgagor), in connection with or arising out of or relating to
the matters referred to in this Mortgage or in the other Loan Documents, whether
(a) arising from or incurred in connection with any breach of a representation,
warranty or covenant by the Mortgagor, or (b) arising out of or resulting from
any suit, action, claim, proceeding or governmental investigation, pending or
threatened, whether based on statute, regulation or order, or tort, or contract
or otherwise, before any court or governmental authority; provided, however,
that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any claims, damages,
losses, liabilities and expenses solely attributable to an Indemnified Party's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnity agreement contained in
this Section shall survive the termination of this Mortgage, payment of any
Obligations and assignment of any rights hereunder. The Mortgagor may
participate at its expense in the defense of any such action or claim.

      30. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Mortgage has been delivered to
and accepted by the Mortgagee and will be deemed to be made in the State where
the Mortgagee's office indicated above is located. THIS MORTGAGE WILL BE
INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUDING ITS CONFLICT OF
LAWS RULES, EXCEPT THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED (IF
DIFFERENT FROM THE STATE WHERE SUCH OFFICE OF THE MORTGAGEE IS LOCATED) SHALL
GOVERN THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND FORECLOSURE OF THE LIENS CREATED HEREUNDER
ON THE PROPERTY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN. The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably
consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court for the
county or judicial district where the Mortgagee's office indicated above is
located; provided that nothing contained in this Mortgage will prevent the
Mortgagee from bringing any action, enforcing any award or judgment or
exercising any rights against the Mortgagor individually, against any security
or against any property of the Mortgagor within any other county, state or other
foreign or domestic jurisdiction. The Mortgagee and the Mortgagor agree that the
venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both the Mortgagee and the
Mortgagor. The Mortgagor waives any objection to venue and any objection based
on a more convenient forum in any action instituted under this Mortgage.

      31. Authorization to Obtain Credit Reports. By signing below, each
Mortgagor who is an individual provides written authorization to the Mortgagee
or its designee (and any assignee or potential assignee hereof) authorizing
review of the Mortgagor's personal credit profile from one or more national
credit bureaus. Such authorization shall extend to obtaining a credit profile in
considering the Obligations and/or this Mortgage and subsequently for the
purposes of update, renewal or extension of such credit or additional credit and
for reviewing or collecting the resulting account.

      32. Change in Name or Locations. The Mortgagor hereby agrees that if the
location of any of the Property changes from the Land or its chief executive
office, or if the Mortgagor changes its name, its type of organization, its
state of organization (if Mortgagor is a registered organization), its principal
residence (if Mortgagor is an individual), its chief executive office (if
Mortgagor is a general partnership or non-registered organization) or
establishes a name in which it may do business that is not the current name of
the Mortgagor, the Mortgagor will immediately notify the Mortgagee in writing of
the additions or changes.

      33. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE MORTGAGOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM OF ANY
NATURE RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE, ANY DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
MORTGAGE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED IN ANY OF SUCH DOCUMENTS. THE MORTGAGOR
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY.

                                      -12-

      34. TRUE AND CORRECT COPY. THE MORTGAGOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE MORTGAGOR
HAS RECEIVED, WITHOUT CHARGE, A TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF THIS MORTGAGE.

      35. Miscellaneous. (a) The Mortgagor covenants that the Mortgagor will, in
compliance with Section 13 of the New York State Lien Law, receive the advances
secured hereby and will hold the right to receive such advances as a trust fund
to be applied first for the purpose of paying the cost of the improvement and
will apply the same first to the payment of the cost of the improvement before
using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.

      (b) This Mortgage does not cover real property principally improved or to
be improved by one or more structures containing in the aggregate not more than
six residential dwelling units, each having their own separate cooking
facilities."

      (c) The Secured Amount shall be reduced only by the last and final sums
that Borrower repays with respect to the Loan and shall not be reduced by any
intervening repayments of the Loan by Borrower. As of the Closing Date, the
total amount of the Loan exceeds the Secured Amount, so that the Secured Amount
represents only a portion of the Obligations actually outstanding.

      (d) So long as the balance of the Loan exceeds the Secured Amount, any
payments and repayments of the Loan by Borrower shall not be deemed to be
applied against, or to reduce, the portion of the Obligations secured by this
Mortgage, as more fully described herein. Such payments shall instead be deemed
to reduce only such portions of the Obligations as are secured by mortgages
encumbering real property located outside the State of New York, if any, which
mortgages secure the entire Obligations (except to the extent, if any, that
specific mortgages in such states contain specific limitations on the amount
secured).

WITNESS the due execution hereof as a document under seal, as of the date first
written above, with the intent to be legally bound hereby.

                    LONG TERM AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                                     Rev. 00
                                     7/18/00

This Long Term Agreement, No. 00996194 has been made as of the 18th day of Aug
2004 between Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a Delaware Corporation having an
office and place of business in Stratford, CT (hereafter referred to as "Buyer")
and a New York Corporation having an office and place of business in Air Ind
(hereafter referred to as "Seller").

1. This Long Term Agreement (hereafter "LTA" or "Agreement") and the terms
thereof shall be applicable to all orders issued by Buyer to Seller for those
products listed in Attachment "A" to this Agreement, attached hereto and made a
part hereof, during the time period commencing on the 18th day of Aug 2000 and
expiring on the 31st day of Dec 2004. Deliveries made pursuant to this Agreement
shall occur no later than the 31st day of Dec 2005. This Agreement may be
extended by the buyer for an additional five (5) years provided however that
written notice is so provided to Seller no later than the 31st day of Dec 2004.

2. During the term of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to issue to Seller and Seller
agrees to accept purchase orders (hereafter "Long Term Agreement Releases" or
"Releases") against this Agreement for some or all of those goods listed and at
the prices provided in Attachment "A", attached hereto and made a part hereof.
The estimated value of this Agreement is $4,056,459.18. The quantities of
products and dollar value thereof listed in Attachment "A" describes Buyer's
estimated purchase requirements during the term of this Agreement; however,
Buyer is under no obligation to purchase any or all of the total estimated
quantities or dollar value; further, Buyer reserves the right to purchase
quantities greater than those listed in Attachment "A". In the event that Buyer
does not purchase the estimated quantities, Seller shall not be entitled to any
adjustment in the prices of other provisions of this Agreement. Seller agrees to
fill Buyer's Releases for products ordered by Buyer under this Agreement and
comply with the requirements on each Release. Buyer will exercise its best
efforts to place on the face of every Release a statement referencing this
Agreement as controlling the terms and conditions of purchase. However, such

Releases shall be subject to the terms hereof whether they shall expressly so
state or not. If Seller is unable to supply Buyer with any items described in
Attachment "A" in accordance with the delivery need dates of any such Release,
Seller shall immediately notify Buyer in writing, and Buyer may, in addition to
any other remedies available to Buyer, at its option, reschedule such items for
later delivery, reduce the quantity of such items ordered to the amount
available, purchase such items from other sources or terminate the Release
without any liability or obligation to the Seller. In any event, Buyer shall
have no further liability to Seller for the items, which Seller could not
deliver in accordance with the terms of Buyer's Releases. Releases may be issued
at any time prior to termination or expiration of this LTA and Seller shall
perform such Releases to the extent that deliveries are not required subsequent
to the expiration date of this Agreement.

3. In addition to the information required under Attachment B, Terms and
Conditions of Purchase, Seller shall designate this Long Term Agreement Number,
the applicable Release number, item number, and item description on all packing
slips and invoices of material delivered pursuant to this Long Term Agreement
and any Releases issued hereunder.

4. Seller hereby agrees to utilize E-Commerce and Bar Coding where applicable
and practiced by Buyer.

5. Seller agrees to comply with the delivery dates set forth in Buyer's
Releases. Seller acknowledges and understands that this may require that
supplies be delivered from Seller to Buyer in less than the standard lead times
listed in Attachment "A" hereto.

6. The supplies as required by this Agreement shall be delivered on dock at the
destination specified by Buyer and in accordance with the delivery dates

                    Long Term Agreement Terms and Conditions
                                 Attachment "B"

September 2000 between Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a Delaware Corporation
having an office and place of business in Stratford, CT (hereafter referred to
as "Buyer") and Air Industries Corporation having an office and place of
business in Bayshore, NY (hereafter referred to as "Seller").

      thereof shall be applicable to all order issued by Buyer to Seller for
      those products listed in Attachment "A" to this Agreement, attached hereto
      and made a part hereof, during the time period commencing on the 30th day

      Deliveries made pursuant to this Agreement shall occur no later than the
      31st day of December 2005. This Agreement may be extended by the Buyer for
      an additional five (5) years provided that written notice is so provided
      to Seller no later than the 30th day of June 2005.

2.    During the term of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to issue to Seller and
      Seller agrees to accept purchase orders (hereafter "Long Term Agreement
      Releases" or "Releases") against this Agreement for some or all of those
      goods listed and at the prices provided in Attachment "A", attached hereto
      and made a part hereof. The estimated value of this Agreement is
      $787,220.00. The quantities of products and dollar value thereof listed in
      Attachment "A" describes Buyer's estimated purchase requirements during
      the term of this Agreement; however, Buyer is under no obligation to
      purchase any or all of the total estimated quantities or dollar value;
      further, Buyer reserves the right to purchase quantities greater than
      those listed in Attachment "A". In the event that Buyer does not purchase
      the estimated quantities, Seller shall not be entitled to any adjustment
      in the prices of other provisions of this Agreement. Seller agrees to fill
      Buyer's Releases for products ordered by Buyer under this Agreement and
      comply with the requirements on each Release. Buyer will exercise its best
      efforts to place on the face of every Release a statement referencing this
      Agreement as controlling the terms and conditions of purchase. However,
      such Releases shall be subject to the terms hereof whether they shall
      expressly so state or not. If Seller is unable to supply Buyer with any
      items described in Attachment "A" in accordance with the delivery need
      dates of any such Release, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer in

      quantity of such items ordered to the amount available, purchase such
      items from other sources or terminate the release without any liability or
      obligation to the Seller. In any event, Buyer shall have no further
      liability to Seller for the items, which Seller could not deliver in
      accordance with the terms of Buyer's Releases. Releases may be issued at
      any time prior to termination or expiration of this LTA and Seller shall

6.    The supplies as required by this Agreement shall be delivered on dock at
      the destination specified by Buyer and in accordance with the delivery

      shall be delivered to Buyer at the location specified by Buyer but not be

      to which said supplies are delivered. Final inspection shall take place as

      Release does not specify final inspection, final inspection shall be at

      shall remain firm for the term of the Agreement. Should prices lower than
      those listed for items of like grade, quality and quantity in Attachment
      "A" be offered to any customer of Seller during the term of this
      Agreement, such prices will also be offered to Buyer. Prices paid will be
      based on the units of measure delivered pursuant to Releases issued
      hereunder multiplied by the unit of measure price. Seller represents that
      the prices in Attachment "A" contain all taxes, duties, levies, and fees
      that could be imposed by any taxing authority in the jurisdiction in which
      Seller does business or which may be imposed by any governmental agency
      regarding the export of supplies from the country of origin.
