EXHIBIT 10.1
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into effective
as of February 16, 2007 (the "Effective Date"), by and between Innovative
Software Technologies, Inc., a California corporation (the "Employer" or
“Company”), and Philip D. Ellett, an individual resident in Texas (the
"Executive").

BACKGROUND:

The Employer desires to employ the Executive as President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, and the Executive desires to accept such employment, on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

The parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.  
EMPLOYMENT TERMS AND DUTIES

1.1  Employment. The Employer hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive
hereby accepts employment by the Employer, upon the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement.

1.2  Term. Employment is subject to the consent of the Board of Directors of the
company and shall continue until terminated by the Board of Directors or
Employee.

1.3  Duties. The Executive will have such duties as are assigned or delegated to
the Executive by the Board of Directors and will initially serve as Chief
Executive Officer of the Employer. The Executive will devote his time,
attention, skill, and energy to the business of the Employer on a full-time
basis, will use his reasonable best efforts to promote the success of the
Employer's business, and will cooperate fully with the Board of Directors in the
advancement of the best interests of the Employer. Nothing in this Section 1.3
will prevent the Executive from engaging in additional business activities,
personal investments and community affairs that are not inconsistent with the
Executive's duties under this Agreement; however, Executive must obtain
permission of the Board of Directors before serving on the board of directors of
another company. If the Executive is elected as a director of the Employer or as
a director or officer of any of its affiliates, the Executive will fulfill his
duties as such director or officer without additional compensation.

2.  
COMPENSATION

2.1  
Basic Compensation.

(a)  
Salary. The Executive will be paid an annual salary of $84,000, subject to
adjustment as provided below (the "Salary"), which will be payable in equal
periodic installments according to the Employer's customary payroll practices,
but no less frequently than monthly. The Salary will be reviewed by the Board of
Directors not less frequently than annually, and may be adjusted upward or
downward in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, but in no event will
the Salary be less than $84,000 per year.

(b)  
Initial Incentive Compensation. The Executive will be paid a bonus of $10,000
per quarter upon the Company meeting or exceeding the sales goal, such bonus to
be paid in the following month. If the sales goal is not met that quarter, no
bonus shall be paid. The Executive will be paid a bonus of $25,000 upon raising
$3,000,000 or more between the date of execution of this agreement and June 30,
2007, said bonus to be paid within 30 days of closing the financing. The
Executive will be paid a bonus of $25,000 upon operations hitting breakeven,
such bonus to be paid in the month following the month of breakeven. In
addition, when the company hits breakeven, Executive’s base salary will be
raised to $100,000.

 
 
 

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

 
 

(c)  
Equity Grant. In consideration of Executive entering into this Agreement, the
Company shall issue to Employee 6,000,000 options (the “Employment Options”) to
purchase its common stock, with a strike price equal to the closing price on the
Effective Date, to vest as follows: 1,000,000 vested on the Effective Date, and
138,889 to vest on January 31, 2008, and a like amount to vest on the last day
of the month for each of the following 34 months, and the remaining options
(138,885) vesting on the last day of the 35th month. All unvested options will
vest immediately upon a Change in Control of Employer, as defined in Exhibit A
attached hereto. Shares issued upon exercise of said options will be issued in a
transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and such shares shall be, upon issuance, validly
issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. The certificates representing said
shares shall bear the Company’s standard restrictive legend.

(d)  
Benefits. The Executive will, during the Employment Period, be permitted to
participate in such pension, profit sharing, bonus, life insurance,
hospitalization, major medical or health plan, and other employee benefit plans
of the Employer that may be in effect from time to time, to the extent the
Executive is eligible under the terms of those plans (collectively, the
"Benefits"). Employer will pay 100% of the health plan costs for Executive and
his or her immediate family.

2.2  Other Incentive Compensation. As additional compensation (the "Incentive
Compensation") for the services to be rendered by the Executive pursuant to this
Agreement, the Employer will pay the Executive with respect to each Fiscal Year
during the Employment Period according to any performance-based incentive
compensation plan (if any) that may be adopted by the Board of Directors from
time to time for similar-level employees. However, the Company and/or its Board
of Directors shall be under no obligation to implement any such plan, in which
case Executive shall not be entitled to any Incentive Compensation hereunder.

2.3  Withholding. All compensation and amounts payable to Executive pursuant to
this Agreement other than the Signing Bonus shall be subject to all applicable
taxes and payroll deductions.

3.  
FACILITIES AND EXPENSES

The Employer will furnish the Executive office space, equipment, supplies, and
such other facilities and personnel as the Employer deems necessary or
appropriate for the performance of the Executive's duties under this Agreement.
The Employer will pay on behalf of the Executive (or reimburse the Executive
for) reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive at the request of, or on
behalf of, the Employer in the performance of the Executive's duties pursuant to
this Agreement, and in accordance with the Employer's expense reimbursement
policies. The Executive must file expense reports with respect to such expenses
in accordance with the Employer's policies.

termination in writing to Executive. Upon termination, the Executive shall be
paid his or her salary for the remainder of the month in which termination
occurs, and (2) shall be paid any earned bonuses or other compensation due.

6.  
NON-DISCLOSURE COVENANT; EMPLOYEE INVENTIONS

6.1  Acknowledgments by the Executive. The Executive acknowledges that (a)
during the Employment Period and as a part of his employment, the Executive will
be afforded access to Confidential Information; (b) public disclosure of such
Confidential Information could have an adverse effect on the Employer and its
business; (c) because the Executive possesses substantial technical expertise
and skill with respect to the Employer's business, the Employer desires to
obtain exclusive ownership of each Employee Invention, and the Employer will be
at a substantial competitive disadvantage if it fails to acquire exclusive
ownership of each Employee Invention; (d) the Employer has required that the
Executive make the covenants in this Section 6 as a condition to employment; and
(e) the provisions of this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary to prevent the
improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information and to provide the
Employer with exclusive ownership of all Employee Inventions.

6.2  Agreements of the Executive. In consideration of the compensation and
benefits to be paid or provided to the Executive by the Employer under this
Agreement, the Executive covenants as follows:

(a)  
Confidentiality.

(i)  
During and at all times following the Employment Period, the Executive will hold
in confidence the Confidential Information and will not disclose it to any
person except with the specific prior written consent of the Employer or except
as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(ii)  
Any trade secrets of the Employer will be entitled to all of the protections and
benefits under applicable state or federal law including trade secret law. If
any information that the Employer deems to be a trade secret is found by a court
of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this
Agreement, such information will, nevertheless, be considered Confidential
Information for purposes of this Agreement. The Executive hereby waives any
requirement that the Employer submit proof of the economic value of any trade
secret or post a bond or other security.

(iii)  
None of the foregoing obligations and restrictions applies to any part of the
Confidential Information that the Executive demonstrates was or became generally
available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Executive.

(iv)  
The Executive will not remove from the Employer's premises (except to the extent
such removal is for purposes of the performance of the Executive's duties at
home or while traveling, or except as otherwise specifically authorized by the
Employer) any document, record, notebook, plan, model, component, device, data,
or computer software or code, whether embodied in a disk or in any other form
(collectively, the "Proprietary Items"). The Executive recognizes that, as
between the Employer and the Executive, all of the Proprietary Items, whether or
not developed by the Executive, are the exclusive property of the Employer. Upon
termination of this Agreement by either party, or upon the request of the
Employer during the Employment Period, the Executive will return to the Employer
all of the Proprietary Items in the Executive's possession or subject to the
Executive's control, and the Executive shall not retain any copies, abstracts,
sketches, or other physical or electronic embodiment of any of the Proprietary
Items.

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

 
 

(b)  
Employee Inventions. Each Employee Invention will belong exclusively to the
Employer. The Executive acknowledges that all of the Executive's writing, works
of authorship, and other Employee Inventions are works made for hire and the
property of the Employer, including any copyrights, patents, semiconductor mask
protection, or other intellectual property rights pertaining thereto. If it is
determined that any such works are not works made for hire, the Executive hereby
assigns to the Employer all of the Executive's right, title, and interest,
including all rights of copyright, patent, semiconductor mask protection, and
other intellectual property rights, to or in such Employee Inventions. The
Executive covenants that he will promptly:

(i)  
disclose to the Employer in writing any Employee Invention;

(ii)  
assign to the Employer or to a party designated by the Employer, at the
Employer's request and without additional compensation, all of the Executive's
right to the Employee Invention for the United States and all foreign
jurisdictions;

 

(iii)  
execute and deliver to the Employer such applications, assignments, and other
documents as the Employer may request in order to apply for and obtain patents
or other registrations with respect to any Employee Invention in the United
States and any foreign jurisdictions;

(iv)  
sign all other papers necessary to carry out the above obligations; and

(v)  
give testimony and render any other assistance but without expense to the
Executive in support of the Employer's rights to any Employee Invention.

6.3  Disputes or Controversies. The Executive recognizes that should a dispute
or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement be submitted for
adjudication to any court, arbitration panel, or other third party, the
preservation of the secrecy of Confidential Information may be jeopardized. All
pleadings, documents, testimony, and records relating to any such adjudication
will be maintained in secrecy and will be available for inspection by the
Employer, the Executive, and their respective attorneys and experts, who will
agree, in advance and in writing, to receive and maintain all such information
in secrecy, except as may be limited by them in writing.

7.  
NON-COMPETITION AND NON-INTERFERENCE

7.1  Acknowledgments by the Executive. The Executive acknowledges that: (a) the
services to be performed by him under this Agreement are of a special, unique,
unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual character; (b) the Employer's business
is national in scope and its products are marketed throughout the United States
and Canada; (c) the Employer competes with other businesses that are or could be
located in any part of the United States or Canada; (d) the Employer has
required that the Executive make the covenants set forth in this Section 7 as a
condition to employment by Employer; and (e) the provisions of this Section 7
are reasonable and necessary to protect the Employer's business.

7.2  Covenants of the Executive. In consideration of the acknowledgments by the
Executive, and in consideration of the compensation and benefits to be paid or
provided to the Executive by the Employer, the Executive covenants that he will
not, directly or indirectly:
 
 
4

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

 

(a)  
during the Employment Period, except in the course of his employment hereunder,
and during the Post-Employment Period, engage or invest in, own, manage,
operate, finance, control, or participate in the ownership, management,
operation, financing, or control of, be employed by, associated with, or in any
manner connected with, lend the Executive's name or any similar name to, lend
Executive's credit to or render services or advice to, any business whose
products or activities compete in whole or in part with the products or
activities of the Employer

(b)  
whether for the Executive's own account or for the account of any other person,
at any time during the Employment Period and the Post-Employment Period, solicit
business of the same or similar type being carried on by the Employer, from any
person known by the Executive to be a customer of the Employer, whether or not
the Executive had personal contact with such person during and by reason of the
Executive's employment with the Employer;

(c)  
whether for the Executive's own account or the account of any other person (i)
at any time during the Employment Period and the Post-Employment Period,
solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor, or
otherwise, any person who is or was an employee of the Employer at any time
during the Employment Period or in any manner induce or attempt to induce any
employee of the Employer to terminate his employment with the Employer; or (ii)
at any time during the Employment Period and for three years thereafter,
interfere with the Employer's relationship with any person, including any person
who at any time during the Employment Period was an employee, contractor,
supplier, or customer of the Employer; or

(d)  
at any time during or after the Employment Period, disparage the Employer or any
of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, or agents.

For purposes of this Section 7.2, the term "Post-Employment Period" means the
one year period beginning on the date of termination of the Executive's
employment with the Employer.

If any covenant in this Section 7.2 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or
against public policy, such covenant will be considered to be divisible with
respect to scope, time, and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time, or
geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may
determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, will
be effective, binding, and enforceable against the Executive.

The period of time applicable to any covenant in this Section 7.2 will be
extended by the duration of any violation by the Executive of such covenant.

The Executive will, while the covenant under this Section 7.2 is in effect, give
notice to the Employer, within ten days after accepting any other employment, of
the identity of the Executive's employer. The Employer may notify such employer
that the Executive is bound by this Agreement and, at the Employer's election,
furnish such employer with a copy of this Agreement or relevant portions
thereof.

8.  
GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1  Injunctive Relief and Additional Remedy. The Executive acknowledges that
the injury that would be suffered by the Employer as a result of a breach of the
provisions of this Agreement (including any provision of Sections 6 and 7) would
be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Employer for such a
breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Employer will have the
right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief
to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce
any provision of this Agreement, and the Employer will not be obligated to post
bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Employer's
rights under this Section 8 or any other remedies of the Employer, if the
Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 6 or 7, the Employer will
have the right to cease making any payments otherwise due to the Executive under
this Agreement.
 
 
5

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

 

8.2  Covenants of Sections 6 and 7 are Essential and Independent Covenants. The
covenants by the Executive in Sections 6 and 7 are essential elements of this
Agreement, and without the Executive's agreement to comply with such covenants,
Employer would not have entered into this Agreement or employed or continued the
employment of the Executive. The Employer and the Executive have independently
consulted their respective counsel and have been advised in all respects
concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants, with specific
regard to the nature of the business conducted by the Employer.

The Executive's covenants in Sections 6 and 7 are independent covenants and the
existence of any claim by the Executive against the Employer under this
Agreement or otherwise will not excuse the Executive's breach of any covenant in
Section 6 or 7.

If the Executive's employment hereunder expires or is terminated, this Agreement
will continue in full force and effect as is necessary or appropriate to enforce
the covenants and agreements of the Executive in Sections 6 and 7.

8.3  Representations and Warranties by the Executive. The Executive represents
and warrants to the Employer that the execution and delivery by the Executive of
this Agreement does not, and the performance by the Executive of the Executive's
obligations hereunder will not, with or without the giving of notice or the
passage of time, or both: (a) violate any judgment, writ, injunction, or order
of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency applicable to the Executive; or
(b) conflict with, result in the breach of any provisions of or the termination
of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which the Executive is a
party or by which the Executive is or may be bound.

8.4  Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are
cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by either
party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will
operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial
exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or
further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other
right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
(a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one
party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right
unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by
a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is
given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver
of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice
or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this
Agreement.

8.5  Binding Effect; Delegation of Duties Prohibited. This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their
respective successors, assigns, heirs, and legal representatives, including any
entity with which the Employer may merge or consolidate or to which all or
substantially all of its assets may be transferred. The duties and covenants of
the Executive under this Agreement, being personal, may not be delegated.

8.6  Notices. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under
this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given
when (a) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) sent by
facsimile (with written confirmation of receipt), provided that a copy is mailed
by registered mail, return receipt requested, or (c) when received by the
addressee, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service
