the terms hereof. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:

commenced on the Effective Date and shall terminate on December 31, 2012. 
 2. Duties. During his employment by the Company, the Employee shall
perform such duties as are customary and typical by an officer of a publicly traded company, and shall discharge such duties in a professional and diligent manner at all times, to the best of his abilities. Employee’s employment shall also be
subject to the policies maintained and established by the Company, if any, as the same may be amended from time to time. In keeping with these duties, Employee shall make full disclosure to the Board of Directors of all business opportunities
pertaining to the business of the Company or its Affiliates and should not appropriate for Employee’s own benefit business opportunities that fall within the scope of the businesses conducted by the Company and its Affiliates. 
 3. Compensation. 
 (a) Salary. The Company shall pay to
Employee a base salary of $111,917.00 plus applicable bonuses or raises as are awarded by the Board of Directors from time to time based on performance. 
 (b) Health Insurance. As additional compensation for the Employee, the Company shall provide or maintain the medical and health insurance benefits on the same terms and conditions as are made available to all
executives of the Company generally.

the Company hereby grants to Employee the option to purchase three million (3,000,000) shares of common stock of General Automotive (GNAU), at an exercise price of 4 cents per share. These options are granted as a signing bonus, and not for

Employee shall not have returned to the substantial performance of his duties on a full-time basis, the Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment hereunder for Disability, and such termination in and of itself shall not

omission with respect to which Employee has previously received notice and an opportunity to cure, then no additional notice is required and the Agreement may be terminated immediately upon the Company’s election and written notice to
Employee);
