     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, terms, provisions, and conditions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

As such, the Executive shall be responsible for directing and managing the Company’s business subject to the authority of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Executive accepts such employment upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and further agrees to perform to the best of his abilities the duties generally associated with his position, as well as such other duties commensurate with his position as President and Chief Operating Officer, as may be reasonably assigned by the Company. The Executive shall, at all times during the Term (as defined below), report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Executive shall perform his duties diligently and faithfully and shall devote his full business time and attention to such duties.

     The term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement will commence on the date of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”). Subject to the provisions of Section 10 of this Agreement,

the term of Executive’s employment hereunder shall be for an initial term of three (3) years from the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). The Initial Term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended for successive one (1) year periods (each a “Renewal Period”) unless the Company or the Executive gives written notice to the other at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, or a Renewal Period, of such party’s election not to extend this Agreement. References herein to the “Term” shall mean the Initial Term as it may be so extended by one or more Renewal Periods. The last day of the Term is the “Expiration Date.”

     (a)  Salary . Commencing on the Effective Date, the Company agrees to pay the Executive a base salary at an annual rate of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), payable in such installments as is the policy of the Company (the “Salary”), but no less frequently than monthly. Thereafter, the Company shall determine appropriate increases to Executive’s Salary but in no event shall diminish the amount of Executive’s Salary below the initial rate, or below the increased rates.

     (b)  Bonus . The Executive shall be eligible to receive annual bonuses at the discretion of the Company and according to performance goals to be issued by the Company to the Executive at the appropriate annual review cycle during the Term.

     (i) Life Insurance . A term life insurance policy in the amount of three times the annual Base Salary, payable to the beneficiaries of record designated by the Executive.

     (ii) Disability Insurance . Disability insurance providing the Executive with monthly payments during the period of his disability (after termination of his employment) in an amount equal to 1/12th of his then applicable Salary immediately prior to his disability. If the disability insurance policy should begin payment while the Executive is still being compensated by the Company under the terms of this Agreement, the Executive will reimburse the Company for all portions of such payments which may cause his total compensation to exceed the amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under the terms of this Agreement.

     (iii) Medical Insurance . Medical insurance protection for the Executive and his eligible dependents at least as favorable to the Executive and his eligible dependents as the protection and plan being made available to them on the date of this Agreement.

Except as permitted herein, the Executive will not during the Term, or at any time thereafter, use, disclose or permit to be known by any other person or entity, any Confidential Information of the Company (except as required by applicable law or in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder). The term “Confidential Information” means information relating to the Company’s business affairs, proprietary technology, trade secrets, patented processes, research and development data, know-how, market studies and forecasts, competitive analyses, pricing policies, employee lists, employment agreements (other than this Agreement), personnel policies, the substance of agreements with customers, suppliers and others, marketing arrangements, customer lists, commercial arrangements, or any other information relating to the Company’s business that is not generally known to the public or to actual or potential competitors of the Company (other than through a breach of this Agreement). This obligation shall continue until such Confidential Information becomes publicly available, other than pursuant to a breach of this Section 4 by the Executive, regardless of whether the Executive continues to be employed by the Company.

     (b) It is further agreed and understood by and between the parties to this Agreement that all “Company Materials,” which include, but are not limited to, computers, computer software, computer disks, tapes, printouts, source, HTML and other code, flowcharts, schematics, designs, graphics, drawings, photographs, charts, graphs, notebooks, customer lists, sound recordings, other tangible or intangible manifestation of content, and all other documents whether printed, typewritten, handwritten, electronic, or stored on computer disks, tapes, hard drives, or any other tangible medium, as well as samples, prototypes, models, products and the like, shall be the exclusive property of the Company and, upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, and/or upon the request of the Company, all Company

Materials, including copies thereof, as well as all other Company property then in the Executive’s possession or control, shall be returned to and left with the Company.

     The Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company any invention, improvement, discovery, process, formula, or method or other intellectual property, whether or not patentable or copyrightable (collectively, “Inventions”), conceived or first reduced to practice by the Executive, either alone or jointly with others, while performing services hereunder (or, if based on any Confidential Information, at any time during or after the Term), (a) which pertain to any line of business activity of the Company, whether then conducted or then being actively planned by the Company, with which the Executive was or is involved, (b) which is developed using time, material or facilities of the Company, whether or not during working hours or on the Company premises, or (c) which directly relates to any of the Executive’s work during the Term, whether or not during normal working hours. The Executive hereby assigns to the Company all of the Executive’s right, title and interest in and to any such Inventions. During and after the Term, the Executive shall execute any documents necessary to perfect the assignment of such Inventions to the Company and to enable the Company to apply for, obtain and enforce patents, trademarks and copyrights in any and all countries on such Inventions, including, without limitation, the execution of any instruments and the giving of evidence and testimony, without further compensation beyond the Executive’s agreed compensation during the course of the Executive’s employment. Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive further acknowledges that all original works of authorship by the Executive, whether created alone or jointly with others, related to the Executive’s employment with the Company and which are protectable by copyright, are “works made for hire” within the meaning of the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. (Section) 101, as amended, and the copyright of which shall be owned solely, completely and exclusively by the Company. If any Invention is considered to be work not included in the categories of work covered by the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. (Section) 101, as amended, such work is hereby assigned or transferred completely and exclusively to the Company. The Executive hereby irrevocably designates counsel to the Company as the Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact to do all lawful acts necessary to apply for and obtain patents and copyrights and to enforce the Company’s rights under this Section. This Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Any assignment of copyright hereunder includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights” (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law and to the extent the following is allowed by the laws in the various countries where Moral Rights exist, the Executive hereby waives such Moral Rights and consents to any action of the Company that would violate such Moral Rights in the absence of such consent. The Executive agrees to confirm any such waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Company.

     The Executive acknowledges that the Company has invested substantial time, money and resources in the development and retention of its Inventions, Confidential Information (including trade secrets), customers, accounts and business partners, and further acknowledges that during the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company the Executive has had and will

have access to the Company’s Inventions and Confidential Information (including trade secrets), and will be introduced to existing and prospective customers, accounts and business partners of the Company. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all “goodwill” associated with any existing or prospective customer, account or business partner belongs exclusively to the Company, including, but not limited to, any goodwill created as a result of direct or indirect contacts or relationships between the Executive and any existing or prospective customers, accounts or business partners. Additionally, the parties acknowledge and agree that Executive possesses skills that are special, unique or extraordinary and that the value of the Company depends upon his use of such skills on its behalf.

     In recognition of this, the Executive covenants and agrees that:

     (a) During the Term, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Executive may not, without the prior written consent of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), (whether as an employee, agent, servant, owner, partner, consultant, independent contractor, representative, stockholder or in any other capacity whatsoever) participate in any business that offers products or services competitive in any way to those offered by the Company or that were under active development by the Company during the Term, provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from owning securities of corporations which are listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the national over-the-counter market in an amount which shall not exceed 3% of the outstanding shares of an such corporation.

     (b) During the Term, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Executive may not entice, solicit or encourage any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company or any independent contractor to sever its engagement with the Company, absent prior written consent to do so from the Board.

     (c) During the Term, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Executive may not, directly or indirectly, entice, solicit or encourage any customer, prospective customer, vendor, strategic partner or business associate of the Company to cease doing business with the Company, reduce its relationship with the Company or refrain from establishing or expanding a relationship with the Company.

     The Executive hereby agrees that during the Term, and at all times thereafter, the Executive will not make any statement that is disparaging about the Company, any of its officers, directors, or stockholders, including, but not limited to, any statement that disparages the products, services, finances, financial condition, capabilities or other aspect of the business of the Company. The Executive further agrees that during the same period the Executive will not engage in any conduct that is intended to inflict harm upon the professional or personal reputation of the Company or any of its officers, directors, stockholders or employees.

     (a) The Executive agrees that (i) the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement are necessary and reasonable to protect the Company’s Confidential Information, Inventions, and goodwill; (ii) the specific temporal, geographic and substantive provisions set

forth in Section 6 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s business interests in part because the Company’s business is international in scope; and (iii) in the event of any breach of any of the covenants set forth herein, the Company would suffer substantial irreparable harm and would not have an adequate remedy at law for such breach. In recognition of the foregoing, the Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of these covenants, in addition to such other remedies as the Company may have at law, without posting any bond or security, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain equitable relief, in the form of specific performance, and/or temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, or any other equitable remedy which then may be available. The seeking of such injunction or order shall not affect the Company’s right to seek and obtain damages or other equitable relief on account of any such actual or threatened breach.

     (b) If any of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 hereof, or any part thereof, are hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid portions.

     (c) If any of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 hereof, or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because of the temporal or geographic scope of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or geographic area of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall be enforceable.

     (a) The Executive represents that the Executive has no agreement or other legal obligation with any prior employer, or any other person or entity, that restricts the Executive’s ability to accept employment with, or to perform any function for, the Company.

     (b) The Executive has been advised by the Company that at no time should the Executive divulge to or use for the benefit of the Company any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information of any previous employer.
