1451 Cypress Creek Road, Suite 204
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         The undersigned,  Enclaves Group, Inc. (f/k/a Alliance Towers, Inc.), a
Delaware  corporation (the "Company"),  hereby agrees with Newbridge  Securities
Corporation  (the  "PLACEMENT  AGENT"),  and Cornell Capital  Partners,  LP (the
"Investor") as follows:

         1.  OFFERING.  On or about  December 28,  2004,  Enclaves  Group,  Inc.
("ENCLAVES"),  a Delaware corporation,  entered into that certain Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement and other related documents,  instruments and agreements,
including  without  limitation  the Placement  Agent  Agreement  (the  "ENCLAVES
PLACEMENT  AGREEMENT") with the Investor and the Placement  Agent.  Enclaves was
subsequently  acquired by the Company (f/k/a  Alliance  Towers,  Inc., a Florida
corporation)  on  April  27,  2005  (the  "ACQUISITION").  The  Company  assumed
obligations of Enclaves to the Investor  under the Standby  Equity  Distribution
Agreement  dated  December  28, 2004  pursuant to that  certain  Assignment  and
Assumption  Agreement  dated July 1, 2005 (the  "ASSUMPTION  AGREEMENT")  by and
among the Company,  Enclaves and the Investor.  This  Agreement  shall amend and
restate the  Placement  Agent  Agreement  dated  December 28, 2004.  The Company
hereby engages the Placement  Agent to act as its exclusive  placement  agent in
connection with the Amended and Restated Standby Equity  Distribution  Agreement
dated the date hereof between the Company and the Investor (the "STANDBY  EQUITY
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT"),  pursuant to which the Company shall issue and sell to
the  Investor,  from time to time,  and the  Investor  shall  purchase  from the
Company (the  "OFFERING")  up to Forty Six Million  Dollars  ($46,000,000)  (the
"COMMITMENT  AMOUNT") of the Company's  common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the "COMMON  STOCK"),  at price per share equal to the Purchase  Price, as that
term is defined in the Standby  Equity  Distribution  Agreement.  The  Placement
Agent  services  shall  consist of  reviewing  the terms of the  Standby  Equity
Distribution Agreement and advising the Company with respect to those terms.

         This Amended and Restated  Placement  Agent  Agreement  shall amend and
restate the Enclaves Placement Agreement.  All capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise  defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them as in
the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement.  The Investor will be granted certain
registration  rights with respect to the Common Stock as more fully set forth in
the Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Investor dated the
date hereof (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT").  The documents to be executed
and delivered in connection with the Offering,  including,  but not limited,  to
the Company's  latest  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-QSB as filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange  Commission,  this Agreement,  the Standby Equity



Distribution  Agreement,  and the Registration  Rights Agreement are referred to
sometimes  hereinafter  collectively as the "OFFERING  MATERIALS." The Company's
Common Stock  purchased by the Investor  under the Standby  Equity  Distribution
Agreement  is  sometimes  referred  to  hereinafter  as  the  "Securities."  The
Placement Agent shall not be obligated to sell any Securities.

         2. COMPENSATION.

                  A.       Upon the  execution  of this  Agreement,  the Company
shall  issue to the  Placement  Agent or its  designee  shares of the  Company's
Common Stock in an amount equal to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) divided by the
volume weighted  average price of the Common Stock, as quoted by Bloomberg,  LP,
on the date hereof (the "PLACEMENT  AGENT'S SHARES").  The Placement Agent shall
be entitled to  "piggy-back"  registration  rights with respect to the Placement
Agent's  Shares,  which shall be triggered  upon  registration  of any shares of
Common Stock by the Company pursuant to the Registration  Rights Agreement dated
the date hereof.

         3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PLACEMENT AGENT.

                  A.       The   Placement   Agent   represents,   warrants  and

Agent is a party or by which the Placement Agent or its properties are bound, or
any judgment, decree, order or, to the Placement Agent's knowledge, any statute,

Agent.  The  Placement  Agent  is in  material  compliance  with the  rules  and

other  expenses and  disbursements  incurred in connection  with  investigating,
preparing to defend or defending any action,  suit or proceeding,  including any
inquiry or investigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in
appearing  or  preparing  for  appearance  as a witness in any  action,  suit or
proceeding,  including any inquiry, investigation or pretrial proceeding such as
a deposition) to which the Company or such indemnified person of the Company may
become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the Rules and  Regulations,  or
any other federal or state law or regulation,  common law or otherwise,  arising
out of or based upon (i) the material  breach of any  representation,  warranty,
covenant or agreement made by the Placement Agent in this Agreement, or (ii) any
false or misleading information provided to the Company in writing by one of the
Placement Agent's indemnified persons specifically for inclusion in the Offering
Materials.

                  C.       Promptly  after  receipt by an  indemnified  party of
notice of  commencement  of any action covered by Section 7(A) or (B), the party
to be indemnified shall,  within five (5) business days, notify the indemnifying
party of the commencement  thereof; the omission by one (1) indemnified party to
so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligation to indemnify any other  indemnified  party that has given such notice
and shall not relieve the  indemnifying  party of any liability  outside of this
indemnification  if not  materially  prejudiced  thereby.  In the event that any
action is brought against the indemnified  party, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate  therein and, to the extent it may desire, to assume and
control  the  defense  thereof  with  counsel  chosen by it which is  reasonably
acceptable to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to
such  indemnified  party of its election to so assume the defense  thereof,  the
indemnifying  party  will not be liable to such  indemnified  party  under  such
Section 7(A) or (B), for any legal or other  expenses  subsequently  incurred by
such  indemnified  party  in  connection  with  the  defense  thereof,  but  the

                                       8


indemnified  party  may,  at its own  expense,  participate  in such  defense by
counsel  chosen by it,  without,  however,  impairing the  indemnifying  party's
control  of  the  defense.   Subject  to  the  proviso  of  this   sentence  and
notwithstanding  any other  statement  to the  contrary  contained  herein,  the
indemnified  party or  parties  shall  have the right to choose its or their own
counsel  and  control  the  defense  of any  action,  all at the  expense of the
indemnifying  party  if (i) the  employment  of such  counsel  shall  have  been
authorized in writing by the  indemnifying  party in connection with the defense
of  such  action  at  the  expense  of  the  indemnifying  party,  or  (ii)  the
indemnifying  party shall not have employed counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to
such  indemnified  party to have charge of the  defense of such action  within a
reasonable  time  after  notice of  commencement  of the  action,  or (iii) such
indemnified  party or parties shall have reasonably  concluded that there may be
defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those
available  to one  or  all  of the  indemnifying  parties  (in  which  case  the
indemnifying  parties  shall not have the right to direct  the  defense  of such
action on behalf of the  indemnified  party or parties),  in any of which events
such  fees  and  expenses  of one  additional  counsel  shall  be  borne  by the
indemnifying party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any one action or separate but substantially  similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction  arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstance,  be liable for the  reasonable  fees and expenses of more than one
separate  firm of attorneys  at any time for all such  indemnified  parties.  No
settlement of any action or  proceeding  against an  indemnified  party shall be
made without the consent of the indemnifying party.

                  D.       In  order   to   provide   for  just  and   equitable
contribution  in  circumstances  in which the  indemnification  provided  for in
Section 7(A) or 7(B) is due in  accordance  with its terms but is for any reason
held by a court to be unavailable on grounds of policy or otherwise, the Company
and the  Placement  Agent shall  contribute  to the  aggregate  losses,  claims,
damages and liabilities  (including legal or other expenses  reasonably incurred
in  connection  with the  investigation  or defense of same) which the other may
incur in such  proportion so that the Placement  Agent shall be responsible  for
such percent of the aggregate of such losses, claims, damages and liabilities as
shall equal the percentage of the gross proceeds paid to the Placement Agent and
the Company shall be responsible  for the balance;  provided,  however,  that 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.  For purposes of this Section
7(D),  any person  controlling,  controlled by or under common  control with the
Placement Agent, or any partner, director, officer, employee,  representative or
any agent of any  thereof,  shall have the same  rights to  contribution  as the
Placement  Agent and each  person  controlling,  controlled  by or under  common
control  with the  Company  within the  meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each officer of the Company and each  director of
the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. Any party
entitled to contribution will,  promptly after receipt of notice of commencement
of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim
for  contribution  may be made against the other party under this Section  7(D),
notify such party from whom  contribution may be sought,  but the omission to so
notify  such party shall not  relieve  the party from whom  contribution  may be
sought from any  obligation  they may have  hereunder  or otherwise if the party
from whom contribution may be sought is not materially prejudiced thereby.

                                       9


                  E.       The indemnity and contribution  agreements  contained
in this Section 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless
of any  investigation  made by or on  behalf  of any  indemnified  person or any
termination of this Agreement.

                  F.       The Company  hereby  waives,  to the  fullest  extent
permitted by law, any right to or claim of any punitive, exemplary,  incidental,
indirect,   special,   consequential  or  other  damages   (including,   without
limitation,  loss of profits)  against  the  Placement  Agent and each  officer,
director,  shareholder,  employee or  representative  of the placement agent and
each  person  controlling,  controlled  by or  under  common  control  with  the
Placement  Agent  within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20
of the 1934 Act or the Rules and Regulations arising out of any cause whatsoever
(whether such cause be based in contract,  negligence,  strict liability,  other
tort or otherwise).  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein,
the  aggregate  liability of the  Placement  Agent and each  officer,  director,
shareholder,  employee or  representative of the Placement Agent and each person
controlling,  controlled  by or under common  control with the  Placement  Agent
within  the  meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act
or the Rules and Regulations  shall not exceed the compensation  received by the
Placement Agent pursuant to Section 2 hereof. This limitation of liability shall
apply  regardless of the cause of action,  whether  contract,  tort  (including,
without  limitation,  negligence)  or breach of  statute  or any other  legal or
equitable obligation.

         7. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.

         The Company  hereby  agrees to bear all of the  expenses in  connection
with the Offering,  including,  but not limited to the  following:  filing fees,
printing and duplicating  costs,  advertisements,  postage and mailing  expenses
with respect to the transmission of Offering  Materials,  registrar and transfer
agent fees and the fees of the  Company's  counsel  and  accountants,  issue and
transfer taxes, if any.

         8. TERMINATION.

         This Agreement  shall be co-terminus  with, and terminate upon the same
terms  and  conditions  as those set forth in the  Standby  Equity  Distribution
Agreement.

         9. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  A.       This  Agreement  may be  executed  in any  number  of
counterparts,  each of which  shall be deemed to be an  original,  but all which
shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective when deposited
