EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into November
29, 2019, effective as of December 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and
between INVESTVIEW INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Employer”), and JOSEPH
CAMMARATA (“Executive”).

 

FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties
agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

ASSOCIATION AND RELATIONSHIP

 

1.1 Nature of Employment. The Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive
hereby accepts employment from the Employer, upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein.

 

1.2 Services. Executive will devote his time, attention, and services to the
business and affairs of the Employer.

 

1.3 Duties. During the term of this Agreement, Executive will be employed by the
Employer and will serve as the chief executive officer of Employer.

 

ARTICLE II

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

 

2.1 Compensation. For all services rendered by Executive pursuant to this
Agreement, the Employer will compensate Executive as follows:

 

(a) Salary. Executive will be paid, in accordance with the normal payroll
practice of the Employer, annual compensation in the amount of $1 for all hours
worked, exempt from overtime pay.

 

(b) Salary Escalation. The board of directors or the designated compensation
committee will conduct an annual review to determine whether an increase in
salary is appropriate based on the Employer’s or its subsidiaries’ results of
operations, increased activities or responsibilities of Executive, or such other
factors as the board of directors or the designated compensation committee
thereof may deem appropriate.

 

(c) Equity Compensation. Executive or its Assignee, will receive 20,000,000
vested shares of the Employer’s common stock upon dual execution of this
Agreement. In addition, Executive will receive 250,000,000 shares of the
Employer’s common stock that will be subject to forfeiture. The forfeiture
provisions will expire upon achievement of certain Earnings (as defined below)
milestones in the APEX/SAFETek program as follows:

 

APEX/SAFETek Earnings Milestones   Forfeiture Extinguished $2,500,000  
62,500,000 $10,000,000   62,500,000 $15,000,000   62,500,000 $20,000,000  
62,500,000 Total Award   250,000,000

 

   

 

 

However, if Executive is successful in introducing the Employer to a funding
opportunity that results in the Employer receiving funding of at least $5.0
million before the first APEX/SAFETek Earnings milestone is met, then that
initial milestone will be deemed met, and the remaining forfeiture provisions
will expire as follows:

 

APEX/SAFETek Earnings Milestones   Forfeiture Extinguished Funding of >$5.0
million   62,500,000 $2,500,000   62,500,000 $10,000,000   62,500,000
$15,000,000   62,500,000 Total Award   250,000,000

 

For the purpose of subsections 2.1(c) and 2.1(d), “Earnings” is defined as the
gross revenue generated, minus lease payments, commissions, hosting costs, and
the reinvestment amount. It is also understood by all Parties that the
additional 250 million shares will be issued immediately, to be held by
Investview and the certificates of shares delivered to Executive, or its
Assignee, when each forfeiture provision from above is extinguished.

 

(d) Additional Compensation. Executive (or his designee) will receive additional
compensation related to the success of the Employer’s APEX/SAFETek program as
follows: (i) $250 per sale of APEX Packs when the sale is the direct result of
Executive or an entity hired by Executive; (ii) $125 per sale of APEX Packs when
the sale is not the direct result of Executive or an entity hired by Executive
(if the sales price of an APEX Pack is increased from $13,750 to $15,000, this
amount will increase from $125 per sale to $150 per sale); and (iii) 25% of
Employer’s Earnings generated from APEX/SAFETek operations. For the purpose of
this Agreement, an “APEX Pack” is defined as a Crypto or Artificial Intelligence
Mining Card.

 

(e) Incentive Compensation. The Employer may provide Executive with additional
incentive compensation in the form of cash bonuses, stock options, or other
awards, as will be determined in the sole discretion of the board of directors
or the designated compensation committee thereof, taking into consideration the
growth and profitability of the Employer or its subsidiaries, the relative
contribution by Executive to the business of the Employer, the economy in
general, and such other factors as the board of directors or designated
compensation committee deems relevant.

 

(f) Other Benefits. The Employer will additionally provide to Executive
incentive, retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option, health, medical,
or other employee benefit plans that are consistent with and similar to such
plans provided by the Employer to its employees generally.

2.2 Continuation of Compensation During Disability. If Executive is unable to
perform his services by reason of disability due to illness or incapacity for a
period of more than six consecutive months, the compensation thereafter payable
to him during the next succeeding consecutive three months will be one-half of
the compensation provided for in subsections 2.1(a) and (b), and during the
following consecutive three months will be one-fourth of the salary provided for
in subsections 2.1(a) and (b); provided, however, that no such compensation will
be payable after the termination of this Agreement. During the initial six
consecutive months of disability, Executive will be entitled to receive
incentive compensation at the same annual rate as incentive compensation, if
any, earned with respect to the Employer’s fiscal year last preceding the date
his illness or incapacity commenced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if his
illness or incapacity does not cease to exist within the 12 consecutive months
provided herein, Executive will not be entitled to receive any further
compensation from the Employer, and the Employer may thereupon terminate this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive is “incapacitated” when he
is unable to continue his normal duties of employment by reason of a medically
determined physical or mental impairment. In determining whether or not
Executive is incapacitated, the Employer may rely upon the opinion of any doctor
or practitioner of any recognized field of medicine or psychiatric practice
selected jointly by the Employer and Executive and such other evidence as the
Employer deems reasonably necessary. Executive’s Compensation is unaffected and
will be paid in full during any length or term of incapacity.

 

2.3 Vacations and Meetings. Executive will be entitled each year to reasonable
vacation weeks and to attend appropriate meetings and conventions related to the
Employer’s business of a duration and at such time as may be mutually agreed
between the parties. Vacations will be taken by Executive at a time and with
starting and ending dates mutually convenient to the Employer and Executive.

 

2.4 Personal Leave. Executive will be entitled each year to paid leave of some
amount of mutually agreed days to accommodate those times when Executive is ill
and unable to perform his duties.

 

ARTICLE III

COVENANT TO NOT DISCLOSE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 

3.1 Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term “Confidential Information” will mean information in written, graphic, or
electronic form under the care or custody of Executive as a direct or indirect
consequence of or through his employment with the Employer and the special
proprietary information regarding the business, methods, and operation of the
Employer that is designated by the Employer as “limited,” “private,” or
“confidential” or similarly designated or for which there is any reasonable
basis to believe is, or which appears to be, treated by the Employer as private,
restricted, or secret, but does not include information generally available to
the public or to businesses in the financial education, research, and services
industry.

 

3.2 Protection of Confidential Information and Goodwill. Executive acknowledges
that in the course of carrying out, performing, and fulfilling his
responsibilities to the Employer, he will be given access to and be entrusted
with Confidential Information relating to the Employer’s business. Executive
recognizes that: (a) the goodwill of the Employer depends upon, among other
things, keeping the Confidential Information confidential and that unauthorized
disclosure of the Confidential Information would irreparably damage the
Employer; and (b) disclosure of any Confidential Information to competitors of
the Employer or to the general public would be highly detrimental to the
Employer. Executive further acknowledges that in the course of performing his
obligations to the Employer, he will be a representative of the Employer to many
other persons and, in some instances, the Employer’s primary contact with these
persons, and as such will be responsible for maintaining or enhancing the
business and goodwill of the Employer with them.

 

3.3 Covenants Regarding Confidential Information. In further consideration of
the employment of Executive by the Employer and in consideration of the
compensation to be paid to Executive during his employment, he hereby agrees as
follows:

 

(a) Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. Executive will not, during his
employment with the Employer or at any time after termination of his employment,
irrespective of the time, manner, or cause of termination, use, disclose, copy,
or assist any other person or firm in the use, disclosure, or copying, of any
Confidential Information.

 

 3 

 

 

(b) Return of Confidential Information. All files, records, documents, drawings,
equipment, and similar items, whether in written or electronic form, relating to
the business of the Employer, whether prepared by Executive or otherwise coming
into his possession, will remain the exclusive property of the Employer and will
not be removed from the premises of the Employer, except when necessary in
carrying out the business of the Employer, without the prior written consent of
the Employer. Upon termination of Executive’s employment, Executive agrees to
deliver to the Employer all Confidential Information and all copies thereof
along with any and all other property belonging to the Employer whatsoever.

 

ARTICLE IV

ENFORCEMENT OF COVENANTS

 

4.1 Relief. Executive agrees that a breach or threatened breach by him of any
covenant contained in this Agreement will cause such damage to the Employer as
will be irreparable, and for that reason, Executive further agrees that the
Employer will be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction from any court
of competent jurisdiction restraining any further violation of such covenants by
Executive and his employers, employees, partners, and agents. The right to
injunction will be cumulative and in addition to whatever other equitable or
legal remedies the Employer may have, including, specifically, recovery of
damages.

 

4.2 Survival of Covenants. The covenants contained in Article III above and the
remedies provided under this Article IV will survive for a period of one year
after any termination of Executive’s employment.

 

ARTICLE V

TERM AND TERMINATION

 

5.1 Term. Except as provided herein, the term of this Agreement will be for a
period of five years commencing on the Effective Date and will automatically
renew for five-year periods unless notice of termination is provided at least 90
days preceding expiration of the applicable term. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Agreement may otherwise be terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

5.2 Termination. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated without any
breach of this Agreement only under the following circumstances:

 

(a) Termination for Cause. The Employer will have the right to terminate this
Agreement for cause (“Cause”) by showing that: (i) Executive has materially
breached the terms hereof; (ii) Executive, in the determination of the board of
directors, has been grossly negligent in the performance of his duties; (iii)
Executive has engaged in material willful or gross misconduct in the performance
of his duties hereunder; or (iv) there has been entered a final non-appealable
conviction of or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Executive to a felony or
misdemeanor involving fraud, embezzlement, theft, or dishonesty or other
criminal conduct against the Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement will not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause, without: (x)
reasonable notice to Executive setting forth the reasons for the Employer’s
intention to terminate for Cause; (xi) an opportunity for Executive, together
with his counsel, to be heard before the full board of directors of the
Employer; and (xii) delivery to Executive of written notice of termination
setting forth the finding that in the good faith opinion of the board of
directors, Executive was guilty of an act or acts constituting Cause under this
provision and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

 

 4 

 

 

(b) Termination upon Death or Incapacity of Executive. This Agreement will
terminate immediately upon Executive’s death or upon Executive’s incapacity for
longer than one year as set forth in section 2.2.

 

(c) Termination upon Change of Control. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, Executive may terminate this Agreement, but not the
covenants set forth in Article III, at any time within 60 days after the
happening of any of the following events:

 

(i) the sale by the Employer of substantially all of its assets to a single
purchaser or to a group of associated purchasers;

 

(ii) the sale, exchange, or other disposition to a single person or group of
persons under common control in one transaction or series of related
transactions resulting in such person or persons owning, directly or indirectly,
greater than 25% of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of the
Employer’s common stock;

 

(iii) more than 50% of the members of the board of directors of the Employer are
persons who are neither nominated for election by the board or an authorized
committee of the board nor appointed by the board;

 

(iv) the decision by the Employer to terminate its business and liquidate its
assets; or

 

(v) the merger or consolidation of the Employer in a transaction in which the
shareholders of the Employer immediately prior to such merger or consolidation
receive less than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of the new or continuing
corporation.

 

In the event that the Employer is not the surviving entity, then the provisions
of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the surviving
or resulting entity. If as a result of the merger, consolidation, transfer of
assets, or other event listed above, the duties of Executive are increased, then
the compensation of Executive provided for in section 2.1 will be reasonably
increased to compensate for the additional duties and responsibilities assigned
to him.

 

(d) Termination by Executive for Cause. Executive will have the right to
terminate this Agreement in the event of: (i) the Employer’s intentional breach
of any covenant or term of this Agreement, but only if the Employer fails to
cure such breach within 20 days following the receipt of notice from Executive
setting forth the conditions giving rise to such breach; (ii) an assignment to
Executive of any duties inconsistent with, or a significant change in the nature
or scope of, Executive’s authorities or duties from those authorities and duties
held by him as of the date hereof and as increased from time to time in
accordance with the terms of section 1.3; or (iii) the failure by the Employer
to obtain the assumption of the commitment to perform this Agreement by any
successor corporation.

 

5.3 Termination Payments.

 

(a) Termination Other than for Cause. In the event that Executive’s employment
is terminated or modified by the Employer without Executive’s express written
consent during the term hereof for reasons other than Cause as defined in
subsection 5.2(a) or Executive terminates this Agreement in accordance with
subsection 5.2(c) or subsection 5.2(d), the Employer will:

 

(i) pay to Executive all amounts accrued through the date of termination, any
accrued but unused vacation days calculated at Executive’s salary rate in effect
on the termination date, and any other benefits specifically provided to
Executive under any benefit plan;

 

 5 

 

 

(ii) waive and automatically terminate all forfeiture restrictions governing
stock or options held by Executive, which thereupon will be fully vested and
held free from forfeiture by Executive;

 

(iii) grant Executive an additional 250,000,000 shares of Employer’s common
stock; and

 

(iv) maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of Executive
for the number of years (including partial years) remaining in the term of
employment hereunder, coverage under the Employer’s group health insurance plan;
provided that Executive’s continued participation is possible under the general
terms and provisions of such plan. In the event that the participation of
Executive and his family in the Employer’s group health plan is barred, the
Employer will reimburse Executive the same percentage of the cost that would
have been covered by the Employer under its then-existing plan for Executive’s
cost of obtaining coverage with benefits substantially similar to those to which
he would otherwise have been entitled to receive.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the aggregate amount of
payments made to Executive under this Agreement on account of any termination
occurring as a result of a change in control of the Employer would exceed the
amount permitted as a deduction to the Employer under the provisions of Section
280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any Treasury
Regulations thereunder, and the imposition of an excise tax payable by Executive
as provided under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and any Treasury Regulations thereunder, such payments will be reduced by the
amount required to avoid the loss of deduction and imposition of excise tax. No
payments will be made to Executive prior to determining whether this reduction
is required, which determination will be made and all amounts due paid by
Employer within a reasonable time, not to exceed 10 days, after termination.

 

(b) Termination upon Death of Executive. If Executive dies during the term of
this Agreement, this Agreement will terminate and the Employer will pay to the
estate of Executive the following:

 

(i) within 10 days after the date of termination, all amounts accrued through
the date of termination, an amount for any accrued but unused vacation days
calculated at Executive’s salary in effect on the termination date, and any
other benefits specifically provided to Executive under any benefit plan; and

 

(ii) in six equal monthly installments commencing on the first day of the month
immediately following the month in which Executive dies, an amount equal to one
year’s salary provided for in subsection 2.1(a) and (b).

 

 6 

 

 

(c) Termination by the Employer for Cause. If the Employer terminates this
Agreement for Cause, the Employer will deliver to Executive, within 30 days
following the effective date of such termination, all amounts accrued through
the date of termination, one year of salary at the then-current rate (which may
be paid in a lump sum or over the course of one calendar year, at the Employer’s
election and any other benefits specifically provided to Executive under any
benefit plan.

 

(d) Termination by Executive Without Cause. If Executive terminates this
Agreement for any reason other than in accordance with the provisions of
subsection 5.2(d), the Employer will deliver to Executive, within 30 days
following the effective date of such termination, all amounts accrued through
the date of termination and any other benefits specifically provided to
Executive under any benefit plan.

with the interpretation or enforcement of said rights. Payment will be made to
Executive by the Employer at the time such attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses
