EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") dated as of June 30, 2008 between DBA
Distribution Services, Inc. (the "Company") and James Eagen (the "Executive")
(together, the "Parties").
 
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to establish the terms of Executive's employment with
the Company.
 
Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:
 
1.           Employment and Acceptance.  The Company shall employ the Executive,
and Executive shall accept employment, subject to the terms of this Agreement,
on June 30, 2008 (the "Effective Date").
 
2.           Term.  Subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 5 of this
Agreement, this Agreement and the employment relationship hereunder shall
continue from the Effective Date until the third anniversary of the Effective
Date; provided, however, that commencing on the third anniversary of the
Effective Date and on each anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter (each an
"Extension Date"), the Term shall be automatically extended for an additional
one-year period, if, at least ninety (90) days prior to the next Extension Date,
the Executive provides to the Company written notice of his desire to extend the
Term (the "Executive Notice"); provided further that, within ten (10) days of
receiving the Executive Notice or at least ninety (90) days prior to the next
Extension Date, the Company shall have the right to provide notice to the
Executive of its desire not to extend the Term.  As used in this Agreement, the
"Term" shall refer to the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on
the date the Executive's employment terminates in accordance with this Section 2
or Section 5.  In the event that the Executive's employment with the Company
terminates, the Company's obligation to continue to pay all base salary, as
adjusted, and other benefits then accrued shall terminate except as may be
provided for in Section 5 of this Agreement.
 
3.           Duties and Title.
 
3.1                 Title.  The Company shall employ the Executive to render
exclusive and full-time services to the Company and its subsidiaries.  The
Executive shall serve in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer and shall
report solely and directly to the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board").
 
3.2                 Duties.  The Executive will have such authority and
responsibilities and will perform such executive duties commensurate with the
position of chief executive officer of a company in a similar line of business
and comparable in size and annual revenues as may be assigned to Executive by
the Board.  The Executive will devote all his full working-time and attention to
the performance of such duties and to the promotion of the business and
interests of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The Executive shall not be
precluded from engaging in community and civic activities, the focus of which is
not primarily political, provided that such activities, either individually or
in the aggregate, do not give rise to a conflict of interest with the Company or
otherwise materially interfere with the Executive's performance hereunder.
 
 
 

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

 
 
4.           Compensation and Benefits by the Company.  As compensation for all
services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall provide the
Executive the following during the Term:
 
4.1                 Base Salary.  The Company will pay to the Executive an
annual base salary of $212,500, payable in accordance with the customary payroll
practices of the Company ("Base Salary").  During the Term, Executive shall be
entitled to an annual increase in Base Salary based on the annual increase in
the Consumer Price Index.
 
4.2                 Participation in Employee Benefit Plans.  The Executive
shall be entitled, if and to the extent eligible, to participate in all of the
applicable benefit plans of the Company, which may be available to other senior
executives of the Company, on the same terms as such other executives.  The
Company may at any time or from time to time amend, modify, suspend or terminate
any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement for any reason without
Executive's consent if such amendment, modification, suspension or termination
is consistent with the amendment, modification, suspension or termination for
other employees of the Company.
 
4.3                 Vacation.  The Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks
of paid vacation to be scheduled so as not to disrupt or interfere with
management of the business.  Executive shall not be entitled to payment for
unused vacation days.
 
4.4                 Expense Reimbursement.  The Executive shall be entitled to
receive reimbursement for all appropriate business expenses incurred by him in
connection with his duties under this Agreement in accordance with the policies
of the Company as in effect from time to time.
 
4.5                 Stock Options.  During the Term, the Executive shall be
eligible to receive grants of stock options under the DBA Distribution Services,
Inc. 2008 Stock Option Plan.
 
5.           Termination of Employment.
 
5.1                 By the Company for Cause or by the Executive Without Good
Reason or Due to Death or Disability.  If: (i) the Executive's employment
terminates due to his death; (ii) the Company terminates the Executive's
employment with the Company for Cause (as defined below); (iii) the Company
terminates the Executive's employment with the Company due to the Executive's
Disability (as defined below); or (iv) Executive terminates his employment
without Good Reason (as defined below), the Executive or the Executive's legal
representatives (as appropriate), shall be entitled to receive the following:
 
(a)      the Executive's accrued but unpaid Base Salary and benefits set forth
in Section 4.2, if any, to the date of termination; and
 
(b)      expenses reimbursable under Section 4.4 incurred but not yet reimbursed
to the Executive to the date of termination.
 
For the purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" means a determination by the
Company in accordance with applicable law that as a result of a physical or
mental injury or illness, the Executive is unable to perform the essential
functions of his job with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of
(i) 90 consecutive days; or (ii) 180 days in any one (1) year period.

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

 
 
For the purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means, as determined by the Board
(or its designee), with respect to conduct during the Executive's employment
with the Company, whether or not committed during the Term, (i) conviction of a
felony by Executive; (ii) acts of dishonesty by Executive resulting or intending
to result in personal gain or enrichment at the expense of the Company or its
subsidiaries; (iii) Executive's material breach of his obligations under this
Agreement; (iv) conduct by Executive in connection with his duties hereunder
that is fraudulent, unlawful or grossly negligent, including, but not limited
to, acts of discrimination; (v) engaging in personal conduct by Executive
(including but not limited to employee harassment or discrimination, the use or
possession at work of any illegal controlled substance) which seriously
discredits or damages the Company or its subsidiaries; (vi) contravention of
specific lawful direction from the Board or continuing inattention to or
continuing failure to adequately perform the duties to be performed by Executive
under the terms of Section 3.2 of this Agreement; provided that the Executive
shall have fifteen (15) days after notice from the Board to cure the deficiency
leading to the Cause determination pursuant to this clause (vi); or (vii) breach
of the provisions of his Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and No-Hire Agreement
before termination of employment.  A termination for "Cause" shall be effective
immediately (or on such other date set forth by the Company).
 
For the purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means, without the Executive's
consent, (i) a material adverse reduction in Executive's responsibilities,
position or duties (including a change in Executive's reporting chain of command
as contemplated under Section 3.1); (ii) a material adverse reduction in the
amount of aggregate compensation provided for herein; (iii) relocation of
Executive's primary workplace to a location more than fifty (50) miles from his
current office location; or (iv) the Company's material breach of the Agreement;
provided that a suspension of the Executive and the requirement that the
Executive not report to work shall not constitute "Good Reason" if the Executive
continues to receive the compensation and benefits required by this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a reduction in the amount of
Executive's aggregate compensation in an amount proportional to such a reduction
in the aggregate compensation of other senior executives shall not constitute
Good Reason.  The Company shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice
from the Executive in writing specifying the deficiency to cure the deficiency
that would result in Good Reason.
 
5.2                 By the Company Without Cause or By the Executive for Good
Reason.  If during the Term the Company terminates Executive's employment
without Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, upon at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice, the Executive shall receive the
incremental severance payments set forth in this Section 5.2 (in addition to the
payments upon termination specified in Section 5.1) upon execution without
revocation of a valid release agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Company, as follows:
 
(a)      continuation of Base Salary at the rate then in effect for the greater
of (i) the remainder of the Term or (ii) twelve (12) months, payable in
accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company; and
 
(b)      continuation of health coverage for the greater of (i) the remainder of
the Term or (ii) twelve (12) months, in the form of continuation coverage
pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 and/or
individual health coverage, with the cost of the regular premium for such
benefits shared in the same relative proportion by the Company and Executive as
in effect on the date of termination; provided that such coverage shall cease if
the Executive is entitled to comparable coverage from a new employer.

The Company shall have no obligation to provide the benefits set forth above in

Non-Solicitation and No-Hire Agreement.

which arise upon the termination of his employment pursuant to this Section 5
shall not be subject to mitigation or offset.

any time (whether during or after the Term) publish or communicate to any person
or entity any Disparaging (as defined below) remarks, comments or statements
