3.

COMPENSATION  


        3.1   Stock Options. In consideration of Consultant's execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent shall grant Consultant
options to acquire 3,000,000 shares of Parent's common stock (the "Basic Options") in accordance with Parent's 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). In addition, Parent shall grant
options to acquire an additional 1,000,000 shares, in the aggregate, of Parent common stock (the "Additional Options") under the Incentive Plan to one or more individuals in the Eligible Grantee Group
(as defined in the next sentence). The Eligible Grantee Group consists of Consultant plus any other individual who has entered into a consulting agreement with Parent or is otherwise eligible to
receive options under the Incentive Plan by virtue of an employment or consulting relationship with Parent. Consultant shall recommend to Parent a suggested manner of allocating the Additional Options
among the Eligible Grantee Group (including Consultant). Parent shall not be obligated to adopt Consultant's recommended allocation, but all of the Additional Options shall be granted to persons
within the Eligible Grantee Group. For purposes of this Agreement, the defined term "Options" means the Basic Options granted to Consultant and any Additional Options granted to Consultant. Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Section 3.1 have the meanings assigned such terms in the Incentive Plan. In accordance with the Incentive Plan, Parent shall execute and
deliver an Award Agreement for the Options to Consultant as soon as practicable. The Award Agreement will reflect Parent's standard terms and conditions for consultant stock option grants except as
follows: 



        (a)   The
Options shall have an exercise price equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of the Award. 


        (b)   One-half
of the Options ("Signing Options") shall be fully vested on the date of the Award Agreement and the remaining one-half of the Options
("Second Half Options") shall be 



2







 




fully
vested on the date of the second anniversary of the Effective Date ("Vesting Date"), subject to clauses (c) and (i) below. 


        (c)   If
Parent should terminate this Agreement for Cause prior to the Vesting Date, then the Second Half Options shall terminate with the termination of this Agreement. The
Signing Options shall not terminate or otherwise be affected by a termination of this Agreement for any reason. "Cause" shall mean: 



        (i)    Consultant's
conviction of, or plea of nolo contendre to, a felony that results in material damage to the business or reputation of Parent; 


        (ii)   Consultant's
gross misconduct that results in material damage to the business or reputation of Parent; 


        (iii)  Consultant's
act of dishonesty or fraud in connection with the performance of his responsibilities with the intention that such act result in Consultant's improper and
substantial personal enrichment; or 


        (iv)  Consultant's
violation or breach of any (x) contractual duty to Parent that results in substantial monetary harm to Parent or (y) any fiduciary duty owed
to Parent. 





No
act or failure to act by Consultant shall constitute "Cause" under clause (iv) above if such act is done by Consultant in the good faith belief that such act is or was to be beneficial to
Parent or one or more of its businesses, or such failure to act is due to Consultant's good faith belief that such action would be materially harmful to Parent or one of its businesses. If any of the
events constituting Cause are capable of cure, Cause shall not exist unless and until Parent has delivered to Consultant a copy of a resolution duly adopted by a majority of the board of directors of
Parent (the "Board") (excluding Consultant for purposes of determining such majority) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose after reasonable notice (in no event less than thirty
days' notice) to Consultant and an opportunity for Consultant, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board, finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board that "Cause" exists, and
specifying the particulars thereof in detail. The foregoing procedure before the Board shall not prevent Consultant from challenging in any court of competent jurisdiction the Board's determination
that Cause exists or that Consultant has failed to cure any act (or failure to act) that purportedly formed the basis for the Board's determination. 



        (d)   The
term of the Option will be ten years from the date of the Award Agreement ("Option Term"). 


        (e)   Options
which are vested shall be irrevocable and may be exercised in whole or in part, by Consultant, his heirs or estate, for the full remaining Option Term,
regardless of whether this Agreement should terminate for any reason and regardless of Consultant's death or disability. 


        (f)    The
Common Stock issued to Consultant upon exercise of the Options shall not be Restricted Stock nor shall any Period of Restriction apply. 



        (g)   The
Award Agreement shall provide that the Options may be exercised at Consultant's election (i) in cash, (ii) by delivering shares of Common Stock
previously acquired by Consultant, (iii) by having Parent withholding from the Option shares of Common Stock, or (iv) any combination thereof. The value of shares of Common Stock
surrendered or withheld for this purpose shall be the Fair Market Value as of the last trading day immediately prior to the exercise date. To the extent permitted under Regulation T of the
Federal Reserve Board, and subject to applicable securities laws and any limitations as may be applied from time to time by Parent, the Options may be exercised through a broker in a
so-called "cashless exercise" whereby the broker sells the Option shares on behalf of Consultant and delivers cash sales proceeds to Parent in payment of the exercise price. If the Fair
Market Value cannot be determined in accordance with sub-Section 2.(s)(i) of the Incentive Plan, then at any time prior to Consultant's exercise of the 



3







 




Options,
Consultant may make a written request to the Administrator for a written determination of the Fair Market Value as otherwise provided in sub-Section 2.(s) of the Incentive
Plan and Parent shall cause the Administrator to provide such written determination to Consultant within a reasonable time not to exceed 30 days from the date of Consultant's request. 



        (h)   Parent
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to file and maintain the effectiveness of (and the availability of any related prospectus) a registration
statement(s) registering the exercise of the Options or the sale or resale of any Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Options. 


        (i)    If
a Change in Control should occur prior to the Vesting Date, the Second Half Options shall become fully vested as of the date of said Change in Control. The
transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement (as defined in Exhibit A) shall not constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the Options or this Agreement. 




        3.2   Expense Reimbursement. Parent shall reimburse Consultant for reasonable and necessary travel and other business related
expenses, including entertainment expenses, incurred by him in performance of the Services. Parent expressly agrees that Consultant shall be entitled to first class travel and accommodations. Except
as provided in this paragraph, all expense reimbursements shall be in accordance with Parent's expense reimbursement practices and policies in existence from time to time, subject to such verification
and record keeping requirements as may be established from time to time by Parent. If, while on business travel, Consultant performs services for CGI, HSW, or another entity, Consultant shall
reasonably allocate his expenses and seek appropriate reimbursement from Parent only for Parent's allocation of expenses. 



        3.3   Indemnification and Insurance. At all times, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Consultant with regard to claims
and liabilities arising from Consultant's performance of the Services to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law and Parent's by-laws and articles of incorporation. This
Section 3.3 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement, for any reason. Parent shall indemnify Consultant as follows: 



        (a)   General. Parent agrees that if Consultant is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that Consultant is or was a trustee, director, officer, consultant, employee or agent of
Parent or any of its merger or consolidation partners or any predecessor or successor to any of the foregoing, or any of their affiliates or is or was serving at the request of Parent, as a trustee,
director, officer, member, consultant, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including, without limitation,
service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged to be an action in an official capacity as a trustee, director, officer, member, consultant,
employee or agent while serving as a trustee, director, officer, member, consultant, employee or agent, Consultant shall be indemnified and held harmless by Parent to the fullest extent authorized by
Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all Expenses incurred or suffered by Consultant in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to Consultant
even if Consultant has ceased to be a trustee, director, officer, member, consultant, employee or agent, or is no longer engaged by Parent and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and
administrators. 


        (b)   Expenses. As used in this Agreement, the term "Expenses" shall include, without limitation, damages, losses, judgments,
liabilities, fines, penalties, excise taxes, settlements, and costs, attorneys' fees, accountants' fees, and disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bonds, investigations, and any expenses of
establishing a right to indemnification under this Agreement. 



4







 




        (c)   Enforcement of Indemnification. If a claim or request under this Section 3.3 is not paid by Parent or on its
behalf, within 30 days after a written claim or request has been received by Parent, Consultant may at any time thereafter bring suit against Parent to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or
request and if successful in whole or in part, Consultant shall be entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting such suit. All obligations for indemnification hereunder shall be subject to,
and paid in accordance with, applicable Delaware law. 


        (d)   Partial Indemnification. If Consultant is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by Parent for
some or a portion of any Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, Parent shall nevertheless indemnify Consultant for the portion of such Expenses to which Consultant is entitled. 


        (e)   Advancement of Expenses. Expenses incurred by Consultant in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by Parent in
advance upon request of Consultant that Parent pay such Expenses, but only in the event that Consultant shall have delivered in writing to Parent (i) an undertaking to reimburse Parent for
Expenses with respect to which Consultant is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) a statement of his good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by Parent
has been met. 


        (f)    Notice of Claim. Consultant shall give to Parent notice of any claim made against him for which indemnification will or
could be sought under this Agreement. In addition, Consultant shall give Parent such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Consultant's power and at such
times and places as are reasonably convenient for Consultant. For these purposes, Parent's U.S. corporate headquarters automatically shall be deemed a place convenient for Consultant. Delay by
Consultant in giving Notice of Claim shall not reduce or invalidate Consultant's rights under this Agreement unless, and to the extent, Parent is materially prejudiced by such delay. 


        (g)   Defense of Claim. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Consultant notifies Parent of the commencement thereof: 



        (i)    Parent
will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense; 


        (ii)   Except
as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, Parent will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Consultant, which in Parent's sole discretion may be regular counsel to Parent and may be counsel to other officers and directors of Parent or any subsidiary. Consultant also shall have the right to
employ his own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding if he reasonably concludes that failure to do so would involve a conflict of interest between Parent and Consultant, and under such
circumstances the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be an Expense for which Consultant may be indemnified hereunder. 



        (iii)  Neither
party shall settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty that would be paid directly or indirectly by the non-settling
party or create any limitation or liability on the non-settling party without his or its written consent. Neither Parent nor Consultant will unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to
any proposed settlement. 




        (h)   Non-exclusivity. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding
in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 3.3 shall not be exclusive of any other right which Consultant may have or hereafter may acquire under any statute or certificate
of incorporation or by-laws of Parent or any subsidiary, parent entity, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or trustees or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Consultant agrees to notify Parent if Consultant is entitled to indemnification or the payment of expenses by any other person or entity, and Consultant acknowledges that Consultant shall not be 



5







 

entitled
to any duplicative payments. If Consultant is so entitled to indemnification or the payment of expenses by any other person or entity, then Parent's obligations under this Section 3.3
shall be Consultant's primary source of indemnification and payment of expenses and Parent may not delay or withhold performance of any of its obligations under this Section 3.3 based on the
existence of, or failure to exhaust, any secondary source of indemnification or payment of expenses. 


        (i)    Insurance. In addition to Parent's obligations under this Section 3.3, Parent shall provide and maintain
"Directors and Officers" insurance issued by a carrier with limits and terms that are commercially reasonable to Parent and reasonably acceptable to Consultant (the "D&O Coverage"). Parent shall
continue to provide the D&O Coverage after the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason for so long as required by any applicable statute of limitations with respect to any
Proceeding that could be brought against Consultant for any action or inaction by Consultant during the Term provided that the cost of such continued coverage is not commercially prohibitive. The D&O
Coverage shall name Consultant as a named insured and Parent will provide Consultant with a certificate of insurance that evidences the foregoing and further provides that such D&O Coverage may not be
cancelled or modified except upon 60 days prior written notice to Consultant. However, if at any time the required D&O Coverage is not obtained due to the reasons stated above, then Parent will
create a self-insured reserve to be used solely for satisfying Parent's obligations Consultant under this Section 3.3 (the "Reserve"). Parent shall periodically pay into the Reserve
an amount equal to the premium payments due or payable under the D&O Coverage that was most recently in effect and Parent's payments into the Reserve shall be made in advance on the anniversary of the
expiration or cancellation of the last D&O Coverage in effect. The Reserve shall be maintained by Parent in a separate bank or money market account designated solely for satisfying Parent's
obligations to Consultant under this Section 3.3 and may not be commingled with other funds. If maintained in an interest bearing account, all interest thereon, if any, shall be accumulated in
the Reserve and accrue solely to the benefit of Parent. Accumulations of interest shall not reduce Parent's obligation to make any payments to the Reserve. Upon request by Consultant from time to
time, Parent shall promptly provide Consultant with copies of bank statements, deposits or other information relating to the Reserve or the D&O Coverage that is required to determine that the Reserve
is being properly maintained. The Reserve shall be maintained until the earlier of: (i) the date the D&O Coverage is re-obtained, as provided herein; or (ii) the date Parent
no longer has any obligations under this Section 3.3. The existence of D&O Coverage or a Reserve shall not limit Parent's other obligations under this Section 3.3. 



4.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS  


        4.1   Covenant Not to Compete. Consultant agrees that, during the Term and for one year after the Termination Date, Consultant
shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or in the service of or on behalf of others, within the Territories that existed during the Term (as
that defined in Exhibit A), participate, (a) in the capacity of owner, manager, executive, employee, partner, sole proprietor, agent,
representative, or consultant, (b) in any other capacity in which Consultant's duties would be substantially similar to the duties performed by Consultant for Parent, or (c) in the
capacity of director, in any business which is competitive with the business of Parent. 


        4.2   Reasonableness. Consultant has carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions upon him and the rights and
remedies conferred on Parent under this Agreement, and Consultant hereby acknowledges and agrees that: 



        (a)   the
restrictions and covenants contained herein, and the rights and remedies conferred upon Parent, are necessary to protect the goodwill and other value of the business
of Parent; 



6







 

        (b)   the
restrictions placed upon Consultant hereunder are fair and reasonable, will not prevent him from earning a livelihood, and place no greater restraint upon Consultant
than is reasonably necessary to secure the business and goodwill of Parent; 



        (c)   Consultant's
performance of Services hereunder places him in a position of confidence and trust with Parent and its employees, customers and suppliers; and 


        (d)   the
provisions of this Article 4 shall be interpreted so as being reasonably necessary to protect the economic interests of Parent and do not unreasonably limit
Consultant's ability to engage in employment and consulting activities in noncompetitive areas which do not endanger Parent's legitimate interests expressed in this Agreement. 




        4.3   Remedy for Breach. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that his breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Article 4 of this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to Parent and that remedies at law available to Parent for any actual or threatened breach by Consultant of such covenants will be
inadequate and that Parent shall be entitled to specific performance of the covenants in this Article 4 or injunctive relief against activities in violation of this Article 4 by
temporary or permanent injunction or other appropriate judicial remedy, writ or order, without the necessity of proving actual damages. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not
diminish the right of Parent to claim and recover monetary damages against Consultant for any breach of this Agreement, in addition to injunctive relief. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the
covenants contained in this Article 4 shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision of this or any other contract between the parties hereto, and that the existence of any
claim or cause of action by Consultant against Parent, whether predicated upon this or any other contract, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Parent of said covenants. 


5.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROCESS  


        Parent acknowledges that Consultant has continuing duties and obligations with CGI and HSW. Parent further acknowledges that Consultant may create or discover
corporate opportunities or other benefits which may benefit Parent as well as CGI or HSW or all of them. In order to prevent Consultant from having any responsibility for determining whether Parent,
CGI or HSW should be the recipient of such opportunities or benefits, Parent acknowledges and agrees that Consultant shall not be in breach of his corporate, fiduciary, or any other duty to Parent if
Consultant follows the Corporate Opportunity Procedures ("COP"), set forth in Exhibit A and attached hereto. Parent further agrees and acknowledges that Parent, CGI and HSW all participated in
the drafting of the COP and due to the mutuality of interests of all the parties, that the COP is in the best interests of Parent. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this
Agreement shall not be binding or become effective until CGI and HSW execute and deliver to Parent and Consultant their written agreement and consent to be bound by the provisions of the COP. 


6.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS  


        6.1   Invalidity of any Provision. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement shall be
enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of each state and jurisdiction in which such enforcement is sought, but that the unenforceability (or the modification to conform with such
laws) of any provision hereof shall not render unenforceable or impair the remainder of the Agreement, which shall be deemed amended to delete or modify, as necessary, the invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The parties further agree to alter the remainder of this Agreement in order to render the same valid and enforceable. The terms of the restrictive covenant provisions of this Agreement
shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to be enforceable and, specifically, 


7







 

without
limiting the foregoing, if the term of the applicable restrictive covenant is too long to be enforceable, it shall be modified to encompass the longest term which is enforceable and, if the
scope of the geographic area of the applicable restrictive covenant is too great to be enforceable, it shall be modified to encompass the greatest area that is enforceable.

        6.4   Arbitration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all claims or disputes relating in any way to
the performance, interpretation, validity, or breach of this Agreement (with the exception of the provisions providing for injunctive relief) shall be referred to final and binding arbitration, before
a neutral arbitrator mutually agreeable to the parties, under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"), except as otherwise modified herein, held in New
York City, New York. Upon presentation of a demand for arbitration, the parties shall attempt to select a mutually-agreeable arbitrator within 20 days. In the event that the parties are unable
to agree upon an arbitrator, the AAA shall appoint an arbitrator from its panel of commercial arbitrators. The arbitrator's award shall be in writing and include findings of fact and conclusions of
law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties and their respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, heirs,
successors and permitted assigns. 


        The
arbitrator shall have the power to award (i) monetary damages, (ii) injunctive relief (preliminary and permanent), and (iii) legal fees and costs associated with
the arbitration to the prevailing party. Any party against whom the arbitrators' award shall be issued shall not, in any manner, oppose or defend against any suit to confirm such award, or any
enforcement proceedings brought against such party with respect to any judgment entered upon the award, and such party hereby consents to the entry of a judgment against such party, in the full amount
thereof, or other relief granted therein, in any court of competent jurisdiction in which such enforcement is sought. The party against whom the arbitrator's award is issued shall pay the arbitrator's
fees and each of the parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any applicable court of general jurisdiction located in New York City, New York, with
respect to the entry of such judgment and each irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection it may have to either the jurisdiction of venue of such court. 


        6.5   Waiver of Breach. The waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by a party hereto shall not operate or be
construed as a wavier of any subsequent breach by the other party hereto. 


        6.6   Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Parent and its affiliates, and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Consultant's estate and/or legal representatives. 


        6.7   Assignment of Agreement. This Agreement is not assignable by Consultant, but shall be freely assignable by Parent to any
successor. Parent shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Parent to
assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Parent would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. 



        6.8   Independent Contractor. Consultant shall serve as an independent contractor with respect to the Services provided under
this Agreement and Consultant shall be responsible for payment of all taxes, payroll taxes and the like on all amounts paid to him by Parent under this Agreement. Consultant shall cooperate with
Parent and provide Parent with all necessary information for tax reporting purposes. Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its directors, officers, and employees from and against
all taxes, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including

insurance, and 401(k) participation. If Consultant is reclassified by a state or federal agency or court as an employee, Consultant will become a reclassified employee and will receive no benefits
except those mandated by state or federal law, even if by the terms of Parent's benefit plans in effect at the time of such reclassification Consultant would otherwise be eligible for such benefits. 


        6.10 Confidential Information and Inventions. Consultant agrees to execute Parent's standard forms of (a) confidential
information agreement; and, (b) invention assignment agreement, upon terms and conditions that are mutually agreeable to both parties.

EXHIBIT "A"  


Corporate
Opportunity Procedures 


        These
Corporate Opportunity Procedures ("COP") are agreed to by and among Convex Group, Inc. ("CGI"), Jeffrey T. Arnold ("JTA"), HSW International, Inc. ("Parent") and
HowStuffWorks, Inc. ("HSW"). Certain terms are defined in this COP, as set forth in Section 1, below. 


Recitals


        A.
Prior to the execution and delivery of the Contribution Agreements, HSW owned all the rights, title and interests in the Licensed Content, and had a right to use the Sublicensed
Content, in the United States, the Territory and the Other Markets. 



        B.
As CEO and Chairman of the Board of HSW, JTA was closely involved with the development, marketing, exploitation and implementation of other strategies that either created or added
significant value to the Licensed Content and the Sublicensed Content. 


        C.
In connection with the further exploitation of the Licensed Content and the Sublicensed Content, HSW entered into the Merger Agreement in accordance with which Parent was granted
certain rights to the Contributed Content in the Territories. 


        D.
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the parties thereto agreed, among other things, upon the division of rights and opportunities involving Licensed Content and the Sublicensed
Content transactions in Other Markets. 


        E.
In order to maximize Parent's utilization of the rights to the Contributed Content in the Territories, Parent and JTA entered into the Consulting Agreement whereby JTA would assist
Parent with the maximization of the Contributed Content in the Territories, in addition to pursuing his efforts to maximize the value of the Licensed Content and the Sublicensed Content on behalf of
HSW in the United States and the Other Markets. 


        F.
Due to the history of the development of the Licensed Content and the Sublicensed Content and its anticipated development in the United States and the Other Markets and the
anticipated development of the Contributed Content in the Territories, it will be time consuming and difficult for JTA to determine the application of the Opportunity Rules in the event he develops,
proposes or otherwise becomes aware of a Business Opportunity. 


        G.
Therefore, it is the desire of CGI, HSW, Parent and JTA that JTA may freely focus on developing new markets, strategies and other efforts that may maximize the value of the Licensed
Content in general and JTA will have complied with the Opportunity Rules and thereby discharged all of his corporate, fiduciary or any other duties to CGI, HSW and Parent so long as JTA complies with
the terms and conditions of this COP. 


        Now
therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

Opportunity Rules. Upon giving of an Opportunity Notification to any one of HSW or Parent, JTA shall have satisfied all of his corporate, fiduciary or any other duties to all of CGI, HSW and Parent
with respect to such Business Opportunity, regardless of whether (i) any Conflict Committee should act or fail to act; or (ii) if any Conflict Committee should correctly or incorrectly
