WITNESSETH:
 
WHEREAS, Executive is the founder and sole shareholder of Cables Unlimited,
Inc., a New York corporation; and
 
WHEREAS, Executive has served as the Chief Executive Officer of Cables
Unlimited, Inc., a New York corporation (“Cables Unlimited”) since its formation
and therefore is familiar with the business and operations of Cables Unlimited
and the market in which it competes; and
 
WHEREAS, the Corporation, Executive, Cables Unlimited, and CUI Acquisitions,
Inc., a New York corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation,
have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated June
6, 2011, pursuant to which Cables Unlimited will merge with and into CUI

WHEREAS, as a condition to the Merger, the Corporation has required Executive to
enter into this Agreement; and
 
WHEREAS, after the Merger, the Corporation intends to operate Cables Unlimited
as a separate subsidiary and division (the “Cables Unlimited Division”) at
Cables Unlimited’s current location and in substantially the same manner as
currently conducted by Cables Unlimited;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.           Employment by Corporation.  The Corporation hereby agrees to employ
Executive to perform such duties on behalf of the Corporation as the full-time
the Chief Executive Officer of the Cables Unlimited Division.  This Agreement
and the terms and conditions set forth herein shall only become effective upon
the occurrence of the “Closing” (as defined in the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization), and shall thereupon automatically become effective as of such
Closing.  As the Chief Executive Officer of the Cables Unlimited Division,
Executive will report to the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and to the
Corporation’s Board of Directors, and shall have such duties consistent with
that of a Chief Executive Officer of a division, as such duties may from time to
time be designated or assigned to Executive pursuant to the directives of the
Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  The
duties of Executive shall include such services as shall reasonably be necessary
(i) to continue the operations of the Cables Unlimited Division, (ii) to
integrate certain of the Corporation’s operations into the operations of the
Cables Unlimited Division, and (iii) to properly and efficiently operate the
enhanced Cables Unlimited Division in the best interests of the Corporation.
 
2.           Executive’s Acceptance of Employment.  Executive hereby accepts
such employment and agrees that throughout the period of his employment
hereunder, he will devote his full time, attention, knowledge and skills,
faithfully, diligently and to the best of his ability, in furtherance of the
business of both the Cables Unlimited Division and the Corporation, and he will
perform the duties assigned to him pursuant to Paragraph 1 hereof, subject, at
all times, to the direction and control of the Corporation’s Chief Executive
Officer and Board of Directors.  Executive agrees that he will do such
reasonable traveling as may be required of him in the performance of his duties
hereunder, including periodic trips to the Corporation’s headquarters and other
offices.

Executive shall at all times be subject to, observe and carry out such rules,
regulations, policies, directions and restrictions as the Corporation shall from
time to time establish.  During the period of his employment by the Corporation,
Executive agrees to be bound by the Corporation’s (i) Code of Ethics and (ii)
Statement of Policy on Securities Trading, copies of which Executive hereby
acknowledges he has received and read, and Executive agrees that he shall not,
without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors, directly or
indirectly, accept employment or compensation from or perform services of any
nature for, any business enterprise other than the Corporation.

3.           Term.  Executive shall be employed for a term of two years
commencing with on date of the Closing (the “Commencement Date”), and ending on
June 15, 2013 (the “Term”), unless his employment is terminated prior thereto
pursuant to the provisions hereof.  Following the Term, the Corporation and
Executive may agree to continue Executive’s employment upon mutually agreeable
terms. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that, unless the parties have
signed an agreement to the contrary, his employment by the Corporation, if any,
beyond the Term shall be terminable by either party at will and shall not, under
any circumstances, be deemed to expressly or impliedly renew the terms of this
Agreement.
 
4.           Compensation/Benefits.
 
4.1           The Corporation will pay to Executive as compensation for his
services hereunder a salary of $150,000 per annum.  Such salary is to be payable
in equal installments in accordance with the Corporation’s normal payroll
policy.
 
4.2           Executive shall be entitled to participate, to the extent he is
eligible under the terms and conditions thereof, in any pension, retirement,
disability, insurance, medical service, or other employee benefit plan which is
generally available to all employees of the Corporation and which may be in
effect from time to time during the period of his employment hereunder.  The
Corporation shall be under no obligation to institute or continue the existence
of any such employee benefit plan.
 
5.           Business Expenses. The Corporation shall reimburse Executive for
all authorized expenses reasonably incurred by him in accordance with the
Corporation’s travel and entertainment policy and procedures and any amendment
thereof that the Corporation may adopt during his employment.
 
6.           Vacation.  Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation of  three
(3) weeks per year, or such greater amount of vacation as is approved by the
Corporation’s Board of Directors.  Any such vacations are to be taken at times
mutually agreeable to Executive and the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer. 
Vacation time shall not be accumulated from year to year unless Executive is
requested by the Board of Directors in writing to forego a vacation during any
year.
 
7.           Termination.  In addition to all other rights and remedies which
the parties may have under applicable law, the Corporation may terminate this
Agreement and the services of Executive, effective upon the occurrence of any of
the following events:  (i) a material failure by Executive to perform his
obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the death of Executive or his disability
for a period of three (3) consecutive months; (iii) Executive fails to follow
the Corporation’s Code of Ethics or Statement of Policy on Securities Trading,
and any amendments thereof that the Corporation may adopt, during his
employment; or (iv) in the event that Executive shall act, whether with respect
to his employment or otherwise, in a manner which is in violation of the
criminal laws of the United States or any State or subdivision thereof
(excluding minor violations).  For purposes of this Agreement, a termination by
the Corporation based on any of the foregoing events is a termination for
“cause”.  In the event that the Corporation terminates Executive’s employment
under this Agreement for any reason during the Term other than for “cause,” the
Corporation shall, concurrently with such termination, pay Executive an amount
equal to the salary (based on Executive’s monthly salary at the time of such
termination) Executive would have earned during the balance of the Term.  If the
Corporation terminates Executive’s employment with cause, or the Executive
voluntarily terminates his employment, then the Corporation shall have no
further obligations to Executive under this Agreement.

8.           Non-Competition.  In consideration of the Corporation’s entering
into this Agreement:
 
8.1           Executive agrees that during the effectiveness of this Agreement
and during the three (3) years following the termination of the Executive’s
employment for any reason, without the written consent of the Corporation, he
will not directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, join, control, participate
in, perform any services for, invest in, or otherwise be connected with, in any
manner, whether as an officer, director, employee, consultant, partner, investor
or otherwise, any business entity which is engaged in any business in which the
Corporation (including the Cables Unlimited Division) is currently engaged or is
engaged during the Term.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit
Executive from investing his funds in securities of a company if the securities
of such company are listed for trading on a national stock exchange or traded in
the over-the-counter market and Executive’s holdings therein represent less than
five percent (5%) of the total number of shares or principal amount of other
securities of such company outstanding.
 
8.2           Executive agrees that Executive will not, during the Term or prior
to the expiration of three (3) years following the termination of the
Executive’s employment for any reason, without the written consent of the
Corporation, directly or indirectly, by action alone or in concert with others,
induce or influence, or seek to induce or influence any person who is engaged by
the Corporation (including the Cables Unlimited Division) as an employee, agent,
independent contractor or otherwise, to terminate his employment or engagement,
nor shall Executive, directly or indirectly, through any other person, firm or
corporation, employ or engage, or solicit for employment or engagement, or
advise or recommend to any other person or entity that such person or entity
employ or engage or solicit for employment or engagement, any person or entity
employed or engaged by the Corporation (including the Cables Unlimited
Division).
 
9.           Confidentiality Agreement.
 
9.1           As used herein, the term "Confidential Information" shall mean any
and all information of the Corporation and of the Cables Unlimited Division
(unless the context provides otherwise, for purposes of Paragraphs 9, 10 and 11
of this Agreement, the Cables Unlimited Division shall be deemed included within
the meaning of "Corporation"), including, but not limited to, all data,
compilations, programs, devices, strategies, or methods concerning or related to

between the Corporation, its officers, directors, shareholders, or employees,
and any attorney retained by the Corporation for any purpose, or any person

information and knowledge with respect to the Corporation’s products, whether
developed or in any stage of development by the Corporation; (viii) the

the design or development of any such products; and (ix) any other matter or
thing, whether or not recorded on any medium, (a) by which the Corporation
derives actual or potential economic value from such matter or thing being not
generally known to other persons or entities who might obtain economic value
from its disclosure or use, or (b) which gives the Corporation an opportunity to
obtain an advantage over its competitors who do not know or use the same.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
9.2           Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation is engaged
in a highly competitive business and has expended, or will expend, significant
sums of money and has invested, or will invest, a substantial amount of time to
develop and maintain the secrecy of the Confidential Information.  The
Corporation has thus obtained, or will obtain, a valuable economic asset which
has enabled, or will enable, it to develop an extensive reputation and to
establish long-term business relationships with its suppliers and customers.  If
such Confidential Information were disclosed to another person or entity or used
for the benefit of anyone other than the Corporation, the Corporation would
suffer irreparable harm, loss and damage.  Accordingly, Executive acknowledges
and agrees that, unless the Confidential Information becomes publicly known
through legitimate origins not involving an act or omission by Executive:
 
(i)  the Confidential Information is, and at all times hereafter shall remain,
the sole property of the Corporation;
 
(ii)  Executive shall use his best efforts and the utmost diligence to guard and
protect the Confidential Information from disclosure to any competitor, customer
or supplier of the Corporation or any other person, firm, corporation or other
entity; and
 
(iii)  unless the Corporation gives Executive prior express written permission,
during his employment and thereafter, Executive shall not use for his own
benefit, or divulge to any competitor or customer or any other person, firm,
corporation, or other entity, any of the Confidential Information which
Executive may obtain, learn about, develop or be entrusted with as a result of
Executive’s employment by the Corporation.
 
9.3  Executive also acknowledges and agrees that all documentary and tangible
Confidential Information including, without limitation, such Confidential
Information as Executive has committed to memory, is supplied or made available
by the Corporation to the Executive solely to assist him in performing his
services under this Agreement.  Executive further agrees that after his
employment with the Corporation is terminated for any reason:
 
(i)  Executive shall not remove from the property of the Corporation and shall
immediately return to the Corporation, all documentary or tangible Confidential
Information in his possession, custody, or control and not make or keep any
copies, notes, abstracts, summaries or other record of any type of Confidential
Information; and
 
(ii)  Executive shall immediately return to the Corporation any and all other
property of the Corporation in his possession, custody or control, including,
without limitation, any and all keys, security cards, passes, credit cards and
marketing literature.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

10.          Invention Disclosure. Executive agrees to disclose to the
Corporation promptly and fully all ideas, inventions, discoveries, developments
or improvements ("Inventions") that may be made, conceived, created or developed
by him (whether such Inventions are developed solely by him or jointly with
others) during his employment by the Corporation which either (i) in any way is
connected with or related to the actual or contemplated business, work, research
or undertakings of the Corporation or (ii) results from or is suggested by any
task, project or work that he may do for, in connection with, or on behalf of
the Corporation.  Executive agrees that such Inventions shall become the sole
and exclusive property of the Corporation and Executive hereby assigns to the
Corporation all of his rights to any such Inventions.  With respect to
Inventions, Executive shall during the period of his employment hereunder and at
any time and from time to time hereafter (a) execute all documents requested by
the Corporation for vesting in the Corporation the entire right, title and
interest in and to the same, (b) execute all documents requested by the
Corporation for filing and prosecuting such applications for patents, trademarks
and/or copyrights as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may desire to
prosecute, and (c) give the Corporation all assistance it reasonably requires,
including the giving of testimony in any suit, action or proceeding, in order to
obtain, maintain and protect the Corporation’s right therein and thereto.  If
any such assistance is required following the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Corporation, the Corporation shall reimburse Executive for
his lost wages or salary and the reasonable expenses incurred by him in
rendering such assistance.  Anything contained in this paragraph to the contrary
notwithstanding, this paragraph does not apply to an Invention for which no
equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of the Corporation
was used and which was developed entirely on the Executive’s own time, unless
the Invention relates: (i) to the business of the Corporation, (ii) to the
Corporation’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or
(iii) the Invention results from any work performed by the Executive for the
Corporation.
 
11.          Remedies.   Executive acknowledges and agrees that the business of
the Corporation is highly competitive and that the provisions of Paragraphs 8, 9
and 10 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Corporation and
that any violation of such covenants would cause immediate, immeasurable and
irreparable harm, loss and damage to the Corporation that is not adequately
compensable by a monetary award.  Accordingly, the Executive agrees, without
limiting any of the other remedies available to the Corporation, that any
violation of said covenants, or any one of them, may be enjoined or restrained
by any court of competent jurisdiction, and that any temporary restraining order
or emergency, preliminary or final injunctions may be issued by any court of
competent jurisdiction, without notice and without bond.  In the event any
proceedings are commenced by the Corporation against Executive for any actual or
threatened violation of any of said covenants and if the Corporation prevails in
such litigation, then, Executive shall be liable to the Corporation for, and
shall pay to the Corporation, all costs and expenses of any kind, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, which the Corporation may incur in connection with
such proceedings.
