         THIS  AGREEMENT  ("Agreement"),  effective  as of the 1st day of  June,
2003,  is  entered  into  by and  between  MEDSTRONG  INTERNATIONAL  CORPORATION
("MIC"), a Delaware corporation, with its principal office located at 500 Silver
Spur Road,  Third  Floor,  Rancho Palos  Verdes,  California  90274,  and MEDJET
Assistance, LLC (`MA"), located at 4900 69th Street North, Birmingham,  Alabama,
35206.

         WHEREAS,  MIC  is  a  consumer-based  provider  of  health  information
services to consumers  and  organizations  interested in private label and other
programs;

         WHEREAS,  among the services provided by MIC is Patient Data Quickly, a
membership  program that allows  individuals  to store and update their  medical
records online for confidential and instantaneous future access;

         WHEREAS,  MA is a leading provider of Emergency Medical  Transportation
Programs  wishing to purchase MIC's program in a private label  transaction  and
alliance; and

         WHEREAS,  MA and MIC  desire  to make  MIC's  program  available  to MA
members as part of the "Plus" membership offering.

         NOW, THEREFORE,  for good and valuable consideration,  receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

13. OFFERING:
    --------

     Throughout  the term of this  Agreement,  MA will  actively  market  to all
     approximate  26,000 members the  availability of online health  information
     record storage and retrieval system with an agreed minimum participation of
     500  members  for the first year term of this  agreement.  In the  unlikely
     event a minimum of 500 members is not  achieved  during the first year,  MA
     agrees to pay MIC the balance  amount in the form of a check payable to MIC
     to bring the first year  revenues to MIC of $10,000.  This  pertains to the
     first year only.

     The total number of  participation is based upon a 12 month period from the
     date the site  goes  live with MA,  not the date of the  execution  of this
     agreement.

14. PAYMENT:
    -------

     a)         For the period from June 1, 2003 through and including  December
         31,  2008,  "MA"  shall  pay  MIC an  amount  of ten  dollars  ($10.00)
         wholesale

         rate annually for each unit sold, defined as a family unit of immediate
         family members, consistent with the definition of MA's family unit.

     b)  Start Up Costs:

         MIC will ask MA to cover a portion of the true start up costs incurred
         to get the process between the two companies up and running to include
         the following: $2500. In an effort to control start up costs, MA will
         pick up actual costs of travel and expenses for their chosen
         representatives for appropriate training/meeting expenses etc.

         MIC will provide MA with a customized webpage that links seamlessly to
         the MIC secure data repository and will conduct tests to verify
         security, integrity of data transfer and reliability. MIC will also
         provide training on the product to MA representatives at MIC's
         corporate office location to help minimize the start-up costs and
         insure a smooth transition. MIC will also provide technical support,
         marketing consultation regarding positioning of the MIC product to MA
         members.

     e)  For all  Plan  purchases  reported  to MIC in a given  calendar  month,
         payment for the  corresponding  consumer plans shall be made to MIC not
         later  than  the  thirty  first  (31st)  day of the  month  immediately
         succeeding.
