      the
      Company and shall perform such duties and responsibilities as reasonably
      determined by the Chief Executive Officer consistent with the duties and

      concern. The Executive will use his best efforts and abilities faithfully and

    (c) Anything
      herein to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing shall preclude the Executive

      payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company. During
      the Term, the Base Salary may be increased, but not decreased, from time to

      by the Board. The Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation for
      service as a member of the Board, if elected or appointed to the Board, or

      The

      with the Company’s practices for awarding annual incentive awards to senior
      executives. Any Annual Bonus shall be payable when bonuses for the applicable
      performance period are paid to other senior executives of the Company.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, in its sole discretion, may provide
      the Executive an Annual Bonus greater than 50% of Base Salary with respect

    (a) Initial
      Stock Option Grant.
      The
      Company shall grant the Executive on the Commencement Date a 10-year option
      to
      purchase in the aggregate 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the
“Option”). The exercise price per share with respect to 250,000 shares of the
      Option (“Traunch I Option Shares”) shall be equal to the Closing Price of a
      share of the Company’s common stock on the day before the Commencement Date. The
      exercise price per share with respect to 250,000 shares of the Option (“Traunch
      II Option Shares”) shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Closing Price of a
      share of the Company’s common stock on the day before the Commencement Date or
      (ii) $.50. The exercise price per share with respect to the final 250,000 shares
      of the Option (“Traunch III Option Shares”) shall be equal to the greater of
      (iii) the Closing Price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the day
      before the Commencement Date or (iv) $.78. Fifty percent of each of the Traunch
      I Option Shares, Traunch II Option Shares and the Traunch III Option Shares
      shall be immediately exercisable and an additional 25% of each such traunch
      shall become exercisable on each of the first and second anniversary of the
      Commencement Date, provided the Executive is employed by the Company on such
      date.

     

    (b) 
      Second Stock Option Grant.
      Upon
      the closing of the Company’s first capital raise after the Commencement Date,
      the Company shall grant the Executive a 10-year option to purchase in the
      aggregate that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 1.25% of
      the number of shares of common stock of the Company (or the common stock
      underlying convertible securities) sold by the Company pursuant to such offering
      (the “Second Option”). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the
      number of shares subject to the Second Option shall not exceed 250,000. The
      exercise price per share with respect to the shares of the Second Option shall
      be equal to the Closing Price of the Company’s common stock on the day before
      (i) the Commencement Date or (ii) the grant of the Second Option, whichever
      is
      greater. The Executive’s right to be granted the Second Option under this
      Section 6(b) shall terminate if the Company has not closed on a capital raise
      before the second anniversary of the Commencement Date. Fifty percent of the
      shares of the Second Option shall be immediately exercisable and an additional
      25% of the Second Option shall become exercisable on each of the first and
      second anniversary of the grant of the Second Option, provided the Executive
      is
      employed by the Company on such date.

    (c) Other
      Conditions.
      The
      Executive shall be subject to the equity ownership, retention and other
      requirements applicable to senior executives of the Company. Except as otherwise
      expressly provided herein, the Initial Option and the Second Option shall be
      governed by the applicable plan and option agreement. During the Term, the
      Board
      may, in its sole discretion, grant the Executive additional options to acquire
      the Company’s common stock. 

     

    7. Employee
      Benefit Programs.
      

     

    During
      the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee savings
      and welfare benefit plans and programs made available to the Company’s
      senior-level executives on a basis no less favorable than provided to other
      similarly-situated executives, as such plans or programs may be in effect from

      plans or programs, medical, dental, hospitalization, short-term and long-term

      In the
      event, prior to a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment during the Term
      is terminated without Cause by the Company or the Executive resigns for Good
      Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to:

     

    (i) Base
      Salary through the Date of Termination;

     

    (ii) any
      unpaid Annual Bonus earned with respect to any fiscal year preceding the Date

      (determined by multiplying the amount the Executive would have received had
      employment continued through the end of such fiscal year by a fraction, the
      numerator of which is the number of days during such fiscal year that the
      Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365),
      payable when bonuses for such fiscal year are paid to other Company

      employer;

     

    (v) provided
      at least six months has expired since the date on which shares subject to the
      Option last became exercisable (the “Previous Scheduled Date”), a pro rated
      portion of the shares subject to the Option that would become exercisable on
      the
      next scheduled date for shares to become exercisable (the “Next Scheduled Date”)
      shall become immediately exercisable (determined by multiplying the number
      of
      shares subject to the Option that would have become exercisable had employment
      continued through the Next Scheduled Date by a fraction, the numerator of which
      is the number of days between the Previous Scheduled Date and the Date of
      Termination and the denominator of which is 365); 

     

    (vi) any
      amounts earned, accrued or owing to the Executive but not yet paid under Section
      8 above, including accrued vacation; and

      accordance with the applicable plans and programs of the Company.

     

    (b) Termination
      upon Death or Disability.
      In the
      event the Executive’s employment during the Term is terminated upon death or

      may be) shall be entitled to:

     

    (i) Base
      Salary through the Date of Termination;

     

    (ii) any
      unpaid Annual Bonus earned with respect to any fiscal year preceding the Date
      of
      Termination;

     

    (iii) a
      pro
      rated Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs
      (determined by multiplying the amount the Executive would have received had
      employment continued through the end of such fiscal year by a fraction, the
      numerator of which is the number of days during such fiscal year that the
      Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365),
      payable when bonuses for such fiscal year are paid to other Company
      executives;

     

    (iv) any
      amounts earned, accrued or owing to the Executive but not yet paid under Section
      8 above, including accrued vacation; and

      If,
      during the Term, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause or
      the Executive voluntarily resigns, the Executive shall be entitled
      to:

     

    (i) Base
      Salary through the Date of Termination;

     

    
      
         

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (ii) any
      amounts earned, accrued or owing to the Executive but not yet paid under Section
      8 above, including accrued vacation; and 

     

    (iii) any
      additional payment and benefit in accordance with the applicable plans or
      programs of the Company. 

     

    (d) Termination
      Without Cause by the Company or Resignation for Good Reason by the Executive
      on
      or after a Change in Control.
      If,
      during the Term, the Executive’s employment is terminated on or within 12 months
      after a Change in Control without Cause by the Company or the Executive resigns
      for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to:

     

    (i) Base
      Salary through the Date of Termination;

     

    (ii) any
      unpaid Annual Bonus earned with respect to any fiscal year preceding the Date
      of
      Termination and any unpaid portion of the Signing Bonus;

     

    (iii) a
      pro
      rated Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs
      (determined by multiplying one-half of the Executive Base Salary by a fraction,
      the numerator of which is the number of days during such fiscal year that the
      Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is
      365);

     

    (iv) a
      payment
      of 200% Base Salary and to the extent permitted under the terms of the relevant
      plans and arrangements, all welfare benefits described in Paragraph 7 for a
      period of 24 months; provided, however, if the terms of the Company’s group
      medical plan does not permit the continued coverage of the Executive in the
      plan
      after his termination of employment, the Company shall pay for his premiums
      for
      continuing coverage under COBRA; provided, further, the obligation of the
      Company to provide welfare benefits under this clause (iv) (including the
      obligation to pay COBRA premiums) shall terminate upon the Executive becoming
      eligible for welfare benefits from another employer;

     

    (v) all
      of
      the shares subject to the Option shall become immediately
      exercisable;

     

    (vi) any
      amounts earned, accrued or owing to the Executive but not yet paid under Section
      8 above, including accrued vacation; and

     

    (vii) except
      as
      otherwise provided in Section 9(e) below, any additional payment and benefit
      in
      accordance with the applicable plans and programs of the Company.

     

    Subject
      to the provisions of Section 9(h) below, the payments described in clauses
      (i),
      (ii) and (iii) of this Section 9(d) shall be payable to the Executive within
      30
      days of the Date of Termination.

     

    (e) Exclusivity
      of Benefits; Release of Claims.
      Any
      payments provided pursuant to Section 9(a) or (d) above shall be in lieu of
      any
      salary continuation arrangements under any other severance program of the
      Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in order to be
      entitled to the payments, rights and other entitlements in Section 9(a) or
      (d)
      above, the Executive shall be required to execute and deliver a general release
      of claims against the Company in the form supplied by the Company and not revoke
      such release within the applicable revocation period. 

     

    (f) Nature
      of Payments.
      Any
      amounts due under this Section 9 are in the nature of severance payments
      considered to be reasonable by the Company and are not in the nature of a
      penalty.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (g) Resignation.
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the termination
      of
      the Executive’s employment for any reason, unless otherwise requested by the
      Board, he shall immediately resign from the Board if he were then a member,
      from
      all boards of directors of any Affiliate of the Company of which he may be
      a
      member, and as a trustee of, or fiduciary to, any employee benefit plans of
      the
      Company or any Affiliate. The Executive hereby agrees to execute any and all
      documentation of such resignations upon request by the Company, but he shall
      be
      treated for all purposes as having so resigned upon termination of his
      employment, regardless of when or whether he executes any such
      documentation.

     

    (h) This
      Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
      of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the
      contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered
      consistent with this intent. In that regard, any payment in connection with
      the
      Executive’s termination of employment shall not be made earlier than six (6)
      months after the Date of Termination to the extent required by Code Section
      409A(a)(2)(B)(i).

     

    10. Confidentiality;
      Assignment of Rights.

     

    (a) During
      the Term and thereafter, other than in the ordinary course of performing his
      duties for the Company or as required in connection with providing any
      cooperation to the Company pursuant to Section 13 below, the Executive agrees
      that he shall not disclose to anyone or make use of any trade secret or
      proprietary or confidential information of the Company or any Affiliate of
      the
      Company, including such trade secret or proprietary or confidential information
      of any customer or other entity to which the Company owes an obligation not
      to
      disclose such information, which he acquires during the course of his
      employment, including, but not limited to, records kept in the ordinary course
      of business, except when required to do so by a court of law, by any
      governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the
      Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee
      thereof) with apparent or actual jurisdiction to order him to divulge, disclose
      or make accessible such information. In the event the Executive is requested
      to
      disclose information as contemplated in the preceding sentence, the Executive
      agrees, unless otherwise prohibited by law, to give the Company prompt written
      notice of any request for disclosure in advance of the Executive making such
      disclosure in order to permit the Company a reasonable opportunity to challenge
      such disclosure. The foregoing shall not apply to information that (i) was
      known
      to the public prior to its disclosure to the Executive; or (ii) becomes known
      to
      the public subsequent to disclosure to the Executive through no wrongful act
      of
      the Executive or any representative of the Executive.

     

    (b) The
      Executive hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the Company all of his right,
      title and interest in and to all inventions, discoveries, improvements and
      copyrightable subject matter (the “rights”) which during the course of his
      employment are made or conceived by him, alone or with others, and which are
      within or arise out of any general field of the Company’s business or arise out
      of any work he performs, or information he receives regarding the business
      of
      the Company, while employed by the Company. The Executive shall fully disclose
      to the Company as promptly as available all information known or possessed
      by
      him concerning the rights referred to in the preceding sentence, and upon
      request by the Company and without any further remuneration in any form to
      him
      by the Company, but at the expense of the Company, execute all applications
      for
      patents and for copyright registration, assignments thereof and other
      instruments and do all things which the Company may deem necessary to vest
      and
      maintain in it the entire right, title and interest in and to all such
      rights.

    (c) Except
      as
      otherwise may be required by law, the Executive agrees that at the time of
      the
      termination of employment, whether at the instance of the Executive or the
      Company, and regardless of the reasons therefore, or at any other time requested
      by the Company, he will deliver to the Company, and not keep or deliver to
      anyone else, any and all notes, files, memoranda, papers and, in general, any
      and all physical matter and computer files and other media containing
      information, including any and all documents relating to the conduct of the
      business of the Company or any of its Affiliates which are in his possession
      or
      control, except for (i) any documents for which the Company has given written
      consent to removal at the time of termination of the Executive’s employment and
      (ii) any information the Executive reasonably believes may be necessary for
      his
      tax purposes. 

     

    11. Non-Competition;
      Non-Solicitation.

     

    (a) While
      employed and for 12 months following the termination of the Executive’s
      employment with the Company, the Executive agrees that he shall not, other
      than
      in the ordinary course of performing his duties hereunder or as agreed by the
      Company in writing, engage in a “Competitive Business,” directly or indirectly,
      as an individual, partner, shareholder, director, officer, principal, agent,
      employee, trustee, consultant, or in any relationship or capacity, in any
      geographic location in which the Company or any of its Affiliates is engaged
      in
      business. The Executive shall not be deemed to be in violation of this Section
      11(a) by reason of the fact that he owns or acquires, solely as an investment,
      up to two percent (2%) of the outstanding equity securities (measured by value)
      of any entity. With respect to an entity which is engaged in both a Competitive
      Business and a non-Competitive Business, the Executive may provide services
      to
      the non-Competitive Business provided that the Competitive Business is not
      the
      principal or predominant business of such entity and the Executive does not
      render any services or advice, directly or indirectly, to the Competitive
      Business. 

     

    “Competitive
      Business” shall mean a business that the Company or any of its Affiliates is
      engaged in or intending to enter at the time of the alleged violation.


     

    (b) The
      Executive agrees that while employed and for a period of 12 months following
      the
      termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, he will not, without
      the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, hire any
      employee or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates,
      or
      knowingly solicit or encourage any such employee or independent contractor
      to
      leave the employ of the Company or its Affiliates, as the case may be.


     

    (c) The
      Executive agrees that while employed and for a period of 12 months following
      the
      termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, he will not, without
      the prior written consent of the Company, knowingly solicit or encourage any
      customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Affiliates to reduce or cease
      its business with the Company or any such Affiliate or otherwise knowingly
      interfere with the relationship of the Company or any Affiliate with its
      customers or suppliers.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    12. Injunctive
      and Other Relief.

     

    The
      Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges any breach or threatened breach
      of
      any obligation under Section 10, 11 or 14 hereof will cause the Company
      irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law, and as a result
      of this the Company, in addition to any other remedies it may be entitled to,
      shall be entitled to the issuance by a court of competent jurisdiction of an
      injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief in favor of itself,
      without the necessity of posting a bond, restraining the Executive from
      committing or continuing to commit any such violation. If the Company defers
      or
      withholds payment of any amount otherwise payable under this Agreement on the
      basis of an asserted violation of any provision of Section 10, 11 or 14, and
      it
      is subsequently finally determined that the Executive did not commit such
      violation, the Company shall promptly pay all such unpaid amounts to the
      Executive from the date such payments should have been made under this Agreement
      until the date they are actually paid, together with interest at the prime
      rate
      set by the Citibank.

     

    13. Cooperation.

     

    Following
      the Date of Termination, upon reasonable request by the Company, the Executive
      shall cooperate with the Company with respect to any litigation or other dispute
      relating to any matter in which he was involved or had knowledge during his
      employment with the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for
      all
      reasonable out-of-pocket costs, such as travel, hotel and meal expenses,
      incurred by the Executive in providing any cooperation pursuant to this Section
      13. The Company shall make its attorney available to advise the Executive or
      if,
      in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s attorney, a conflict arises which
      would prevent the Company’s attorney from advising the Executive, the Company
      shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable legal fees incurred in providing
      any cooperation pursuant to this Section 13. 

     

    14. Non-Disparagement.
      

     

    The
      parties hereto shall not during the Term or thereafter denigrate, ridicule
      or
      intentionally criticize each other, their Affiliates or any of their respective
      products, services, employees, officers or directors, including, without
      limitation, by way of news interviews or the expression of personal views,
      opinions or judgments to the media.

     

    15. The
      Executive’s Representations.
      

     

    The
      Executive represents and warrants to the Company that his entering into and
      performing his obligations under this Agreement will not violate any agreement
      between the Executive and any other person, firm or organization. The Executive
      also represents and warrants that he will not use or disclose any confidential
      or proprietary information of any prior employer in the course of performing
      his
      duties for the Company or any of its Affiliates.

     

    16. Assignability;
      Binding Nature.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    This
      Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and
      their respective successors, heirs (in the case of the Executive) and assigns.
      For purposes of this Section 16, a successor to the Company shall be limited
      to
      an entity which shall have acquired substantially all of the business and/or
      assets of the Company and shall have expressly assumed (whether by agreement
      or
      operation of law) and agreed to perform this Agreement in the same manner and
      to
      the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such
      succession had taken place. No rights or obligations of the Executive under
      this
      Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Executive other than his rights
      to compensation and benefits, which may be transferred only by will, operation
      of law or in accordance with Section 23 below.

     

    17. Payroll
      Deductions.

     

    All
      applicable federal, state and local withholding taxes, and deductions authorized
      by the Executive or by law, shall be deducted from all payments set forth in
      this Agreement.

     

    18. Entire
      Agreement.
      

     

    This
      Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties
      concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
      understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether written
      or
      oral, between the Parties with respect thereto. In the event of any
      inconsistency between any provision of this Agreement and any other provision
      of
      any other plan, policy or program of, or other agreement with, the Company,
      the
      provisions of this Agreement shall control. 

     

    19. Amendment
      or Waiver.

     

    No
      provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed
      to in
      writing and signed by the Executive and an authorized officer of the Company.
      No
      waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or
      provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such other Party shall
      be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the
      same
      or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by
      the
      Party against whom it is being enforced (either the Executive or an authorized
      officer of the Company, as the case may be).

     

    20. Severability.

     

    In
      the
      event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to
      be
      invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, the remaining
      provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in
      full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     

    21. Survivorship.
      

     

    The
      respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder, including, without
      limitation, Section 9 (termination of employment), Section 10 (confidentiality;
      assignment of rights), Section 11 (non-competition; non-solicitation), Section
      12 (injunctive and other relief), Section 13 (cooperation), Section 14
      (non-disparagement), Section 22 (indemnification and liability insurance) and
      Section 25 (resolution of disputes), shall survive any termination of the
      Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of
      such rights and obligations.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    22. Indemnification
      and Liability Insurance.

     

    The
      Company hereby agrees that through out the Term, the Executive shall be covered
      by any general liability insurance policy, including, but not limited to, any
      directors and officers insurance, that other directors and officers of the
      Company are covered by and agrees to indemnify the Executive and hold him
      harmless, both during the Term and thereafter, to the fullest extent permitted
      under the by-laws of the Company against and in respect to any and all actions,
      suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses (including
      reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses, and damages resulting from the Executive’s
      good faith performance of his duties as an officer or director of the
      Company.

     

    23. Beneficiaries/References.

     

    The
      Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under applicable plans,
      agreements or law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
      receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following the Executive’s
      death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of the
      Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in
      this Agreement to the Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer
      to
      his beneficiary, estate or other legal representative.

     

    24. Governing
      Law.

     

    This
      Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance
      with
      the laws of Florida without reference to principles of conflicts of law,
      provided, however, that Federal law shall apply to the interpretation or
      enforcement of Section 25 below.

     

    25. Resolution
      of Disputes.

     

    Except
      as
      otherwise provided in Section 12 above, any dispute arising under or relating
      to
      this Agreement shall be resolved by confidential and binding arbitration, to
      be
      held in the County of Palm Beach in the state of Florida before a single
      arbitrator in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Commercial
      Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the
      award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having
      jurisdiction thereof. Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and
      expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the arbitration,
      and neither Party shall be liable for punitive or exemplary
      damages.

     

    26. Notices.

     

    Any
      notice given to a Party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
      given (i) when delivered personally, (ii) three days after being sent by

    27. Excise
      Tax.
      

     

    Notwithstanding
      anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any payment,
      distribution, grant, vesting or benefit made or provided to or for the benefit
      of the Executive in connection with this Agreement or his employment with the
      Company or the termination thereof (a “Change in Control Payment”) is determined

      Code (or any successor to such section), if it is determined that, on an
      after-Excise Tax basis, the Executive’s economic benefit would be increased if
      the Company reduced the Change in Control Payments to be provided to the
      Executive to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the Excise Tax,
      the
      Company shall reduce such Change in Control Payments to the Executive. The
      determination regarding the Excise Tax will be made by an expert on the issues
      related to the Excise Tax selected by the Company and approved by the Executive.
      The same expert will be used for the determination of any other Excise Taxes
      due
      relating to a Change in Control for any other employee of the Company. In making
      its determination regarding the Excise Tax, the expert shall take into account
      all facts and circumstances, including without limitation, the fact that part
      of
      the Change in Control Payments is being paid by the Company to the Executive
      in
      consideration for the non-compete and non-solicitation covenants contained
      in
      Section 11 hereof.
