MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

     THIS MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of September 20, 2005 by and between Advanced Circuits, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), with offices at 21100 E. 33^rd Drive, Aurora, Colorado, and WAJ, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Consultant”), with offices at 61 Wilton Road, Second Floor, Westport, Connecticut.

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the manufacturing, marketing and selling of printed circuit boards (the “Business”); and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain Consultant to provide executive, financial, and managerial oversight services to it relating to the Business on the terms herein set forth, and Consultant has capability enabling it to provide such services and is agreeable to providing the same on such terms.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is hereby agreed as follows:

AGREEMENT

     1. TERM AND DUTIES.

     For the five year period commencing on the date hereof, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 (the “Term”), Consultant shall provide executive, financial and managerial oversight services to the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries from time to time. The nature of such services shall be to analyze the performance of the Company’s executive personnel and to assist them in developing and planning the implementation of financing, internal growth and acquisition strategies; however, Consultant will not become involved in day-to-day operations of the Company. In general, such services shall be provided by reviewing internal reports and financial statements and analyses prepared by the executive officers of the Company and advising them as to matters covered by such reports as well as assisting them to formulate financial and corporate growth strategies. If so requested, appropriate personnel of Consultant will attend all meetings of the Board of Directors. It is understood that the individuals who will provide services to the Company may be employees of Consultant and will also have duties with and to Consultant, and that, therefore, none of said individuals will devote their full business time to the business of the Company, but that they will devote thereto only such time as may be necessary from time to time to properly perform their duties. Unless either party shall have notified the other of its intention not to renew, at least sixty days prior to the expiration of the Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive three year periods.

     2. DEGREE OF CARE.

     Consultant shall use its best efforts to perform its services and to cause its personnel to perform their services hereunder in a professional manner and with due care, but shall have no liability to the Company for any act or omission except for gross negligence or the willful breach of this Agreement.

     3. FEES.

     (a) In full consideration and compensation for the services to be furnished by Consultant to the Company and its subsidiaries during the Term,

     (i) the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall pay to Consultant upon execution of this Agreement, and Consultant shall accept, an up-front fee in cash in an amount equal to $500,000.00, which shall be earned in full upon Consultant’s receipt thereof and relates to additional financial and managerial oversight and strategic planning services to be rendered by Consultant during the first 90 days following the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined below); and

     (ii) the Company shall pay to Consultant and Consultant shall accept, an annual fee in an amount equal to $500,000.00. Such fee shall be payable in arrears in equal quarterly installments of $125,000.00 (each a “Management Fee Payment”) commencing on December 31, 2005 (the first installment to also include a pro rated fee attributed to the period September 20 through September 30, 2005) and continuing on a calendar quarter basis until the Termination of this Agreement. Consultant may elect to defer all or a portion of its fee for any such installment due by delivering written notice of such election to the Company. If payment of any Management Fee Payment would cause the Company to violate the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant set forth in the credit facility between the Company and Madison Capital Funding, LLC, such Management Fee Payment shall automatically be deferred and the Company shall accrue such amount, together with interest at 6.0% per annum, compounded quarterly. Any amount accrued, payable and/or in arrears shall be paid promptly to Consultant as soon as and to the extent assets are legally available therefor, provided payment thereof is not legally or contractually restricted or prohibited.

     (b) Unless full payment in respect of Management Fee Payments for all past periods and the then current period shall have been paid and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart; (i) no dividend whatsoever (other than a dividend payable solely in capital sock of the Company or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of capital stock of the Company) shall be declared or paid, and no distribution shall be made on, any capital stock, and (ii) no shares of capital stock shall be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for such purpose); provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to the repurchase of shares of capital stock of the Company from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment.

     (c) All payments hereunder shall be in U.S. Dollars and shall be made at the offices of Consultant, unless otherwise instructed at least three business days prior to the due date of the payment.

      4. EXPENSES.

     (a) During the Term, the personnel of Consultant assigned to perform duties hereunder will engage in such travel as may be reasonably required in connection with the performance of those duties. The Company will pay or reimburse all such reasonable expenses upon submission of proper documentation, with due regard to cost savings for the Company’s benefit.

     (b) The Company will pay for, or reimburse Consultant for, all equipment and supplies bought by Consultant and specifically dedicated to the purposes of this Agreement (e.g. computer supplies).

      5. CONFIDENTIALITY.

     The Company acknowledges that Consultant is engaged in various other businesses some of which may be competitive with the business and that all persons who perform services for the Company pursuant to this Agreement will be full time employees of Consultant and that their primary loyalty is to Consultant. The mere existence of Consultant’s business activities as described above and the use of such employees to perform services for Consultant shall in no way give rise to any liability of Consultant or such employees under this Agreement.

      6. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES.

     Consultant and the Company are not partners or joint venturers, and neither shall have any power or right to incur any liability on behalf of the other party; provided, however, that any of the personnel of Consultant elected as an officer of the Company shall have the power to obligate the Company in such capacity as an officer, but only to the extent appropriate for such office. Each party shall discharge its own debts and obligations without recourse against the other.

7. DEFAULTS.

     (a) The following shall constitute events of default (“Events of Default”) hereunder:

     (i) The failure of the Company to pay Consultant any sums due to Consultant hereunder within ten days of written demand therefor by Consultant.

     (b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the non-defaulting party may give to the defaulting party notice of the non-defaulting party’s intention to terminate this Agreement specifying the cause therefor (“Termination Notice”). If the defaulting party shall fail to cure the Event of Default before the expiration of a period of 60 days from the date of such Termination Notice, this Agreement shall terminate. In the case of an Event of Default by the Company, the parties acknowledge that the damages of Consultant would be substantial, but difficult to compute with accuracy; accordingly, Consultant shall be entitled to receive in cash as an agreed upon amount of liquidated damages an amount equal to all amounts payable under this Agreement from the date of the Event of Default to the end of the Term, provided, that, in no circumstance shall such amount be less than one year of fees under Section 3 hereof.

No waiver by either party of any term or provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by such party. In the event of consent by either party to an assignment of this Agreement, no further assignment shall be made without the express consent in writing of such party, unless such assignment may otherwise be made without such consent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In the event that any portion of this Agreement shall be declared invalid by order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall be construed as if such portion had not been inserted herein except when such construction would operate as an undue hardship to Consultant or the Company or constitute a substantial deviation from the general intent and purpose of said parties as reflected in this Agreement.

     10. ASSIGNMENT.

     Neither party shall assign or transfer or permit the assignment or transfer of this Agreement, or it rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that the sale of substantially all the assets of Consultant to, or the merger of Consultant into a single entity or a group of entities under common control, shall not constitute an assignment or transfer for purposes of this Section 10.
