THIS AGREEMENT by and between Penny Spaeth (“ Spaeth ”) and YP Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), is entered into and effective as of July 1, 2005 (the “ Effective Date ”).

Spaeth’s employment services to the Company were provided pursuant to that certain Employment Agreement, dated November 1, 2004 (the “ Employment Agreement ”), specifying the terms and conditions of Spaeth’s employment as Chief Operating Officer.

 

Spaeth and the Company now desire to end all Relationships and resolve all outstanding matters each has, might have, or has had between Spaeth and the Company and its stockholders, officers, and directors.

1.   Resignation . Spaeth has resigned or hereby resigns from all positions with the Company and no longer serves as Chief Operating Officer of the Company and hereby terminates all Relationships. The Employment Agreement and all other agreements, whether written or oral, pertaining to the Company’s employment of Spaeth are terminated, replaced and superseded by this Agreement.

 

2.   Waiver of Severance . Spaeth waives any right to severance benefits under the Employment Agreement in connection with the termination of her employment as Chief Operating Officer and will only be entitled to payments, benefits, or compensation as provided herein.

 

3.   Payments . In consideration for the mutual and general release of all claims against the Company by Spaeth contained herein and in complete and full satisfaction of all obligations owed to Spaeth by the Company (including, but not limited to, severance payments, commissions, vacation, bonus, additional issuances of capital stock, including without limitation, any right to stock pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Employment Agreement (it being understood that Spaeth hereby forfeits all shares of the Company’s common stock issued to her out of the Company’s 2003 Stock Plan and any other unvested capital stock of the Company, or unvested options to purchase such stock, received by Spaeth while employed with the Company), and any and all claims for compensation and benefits from the Company or any and all of its affiliates, subsidiaries, corporate parents, agents, officers, owners, employees, attorneys, successors, and assigns (the “ Company Agents ”)), the Company will compensate Spaeth in the following amounts (collectively, the “ Payments ”) subject to and consistent with the Company’s existing payroll procedures and policy after deducting and withholding all applicable federal and state payroll, FICA and other taxes and obligations.

 


 

a.   Severance . The Company will pay Spaeth a severance amount equal to $80,000, payable in two lump sums of $40,000 each on July 8, 2005 and October 2, 2005, respectively. These payments will be made regardless of a change of control or management of the Company.

 

b.   Health Insurance . The Company will continue to provide Spaeth with the current form of health insurance until the four month anniversary of the Effective Date, at which time, the Company will cancel Spaeth’s health insurance group policy. To the extent provided by federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws, and by the Company’s current group health insurance policies Spaeth will be able to continue her insurance benefits at her own expense.
