This Employment Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 21st day of December, 2015, by and between Eco Sciences Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”), and Jeffery Lee Taylor, an individual (the “Executive”).





INTRODUCTION




WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive under the title and capacity set forth on Schedule A hereto and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company in such capacity, subject to the terms of this Agreement;




AGREEMENT




NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises herein below set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:




1.  Employment Period.  The term of the Executive’s employment by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (the “Employment Period”) shall commence upon the Effective Date as set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue for that period of calendar months from the Effective Date as set forth on Schedule A hereto.  Thereafter, the Employment Period shall automatically renew for successive periods of one (1) year each, unless either party shall have given to the other at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of their intention not to renew the Executive’s employment prior to the end of the Employment Period or the then applicable renewal term, as the case may be.  In any event, the Employment Period may be terminated as provided herein.




2.  Employment; Duties.




(a)  General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall employ the Executive to act for the Company during the Employment Period in the capacity set forth on Schedule A hereto, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment.  The duties and responsibilities of the Executive shall include such duties and responsibilities appropriate to such office as the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may from time to time reasonably assign to the Executive, as initially specified on Schedule A attached hereto, with such authority and responsibilities, including Company-wide executive, administrative and finance functions as are normally associated with and appropriate for such position.




(b)  Executive recognizes that during the period of Executive's employment hereunder, Executive owes an undivided duty of loyalty to the Company, and Executive will use Executive's good faith efforts to promote and develop the business of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Company’s subsidiaries from time to time, together with any other affiliates of the Company, the “Affiliates”). Executive shall devote the required time, attention and skills to the performance of Executive’s services as an executive of the Company.  Recognizing and acknowledging that it is essential for the protection and enhancement of the name and business of the Company and the goodwill pertaining thereto, Executive shall perform the Executive’s duties under this Agreement professionally, in accordance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations and such standards, policies and procedures established by the Company and the industry from time to time.




1


(c)  However, the parties agree that:  (i) Executive may devote a reasonable amount of his time to civic, community, or charitable activities and may serve as a director of other corporations (provided that any such other corporation is not a competitor of the Company, as determined by the Board) and to other types of business or public activities not expressly mentioned in this paragraph; and (ii) Executive may participate as a non-employee director, employee and/or investor in other companies and projects as described by Executive to the Board, so long as Executive’s responsibilities with respect thereto do not conflict or interfere with the faithful performance of his duties to the Company.




(d)  Place of Employment.  The Executive’s services shall be performed at the Company’s office (the “Headquarters”).




3.  Base Salary.  The Executive shall be entitled to receive a salary from the Company during the Employment Period at a rate per year indicated on Schedule A hereto (the “Base Salary”).  Once the Board has established the initial Base Salary, the Board will evaluate Executive’s annual performance and if warranted shall increase Base Salary by a minimum of ten percent (10%) on each anniversary of the Effective Date , at the Board’s sole discretion.  The parties expressly agree that what the Executive receives now or in the future, in addition to the regular Base Salary, whether this be in the form of benefits or regular or occasional aid/assistance, such as, meals, vehicle, lodging or clothing, occasional bonuses or anything else he receives, during the Employment Period and any renewals thereof, in cash or in kind, shall not be deemed as salary.  However, because the Company is a public company subject to the reporting requirements of, inter alia, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), both parties acknowledge that the Executive’s annual compensation (as determined by the rules of the SEC or any other regulatory body or exchange having jurisdiction), which may include some or all of the foregoing, will be required to be publicly disclosed.




4.  Bonus.  (a) The Company may pay the Executive an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”), at such time and in such amount as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.  The Board may or may not determine that all or any portion of the Annual Bonus shall be earned upon the achievement of operational, financial or other milestones (“Milestones”) established by the Board in consultation with the Executive and that all or any portion of any Annual Bonus shall be paid in cash, securities or other property.




(b) The Executive shall be eligible to participate in any other bonus or incentive program established by the Company for executives of the Company.




5.
Other Benefits




(a)           Preferred Stock, Restricted Stock and Stock Option Grants.  During the term of employment, Executive shall be entitled to and not limited to, annual Preferred Stock, Restricted Stock and Stock Option Grants at the discretion of the Board of Directors and under the guidelines as set forth in the Company’s most current Equity Incentive Plan.




(b)           Insurance, Deferred Compensation and Other Benefits.  During the Employment Period, the Executive and the Executive’s dependents shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s insurance programs, deferred compensation and any ERISA benefit plans, as the same may be adopted and/or amended from time to time (the “Benefits”).  Additionally, fees charged by professional service providers to accommodate planning, legal structuring and accounting of the Benefits shall be reimbursed by the Company. The Executive shall be entitled to paid personal days on a basis consistent with the Company’s other senior executives, as determined by the Board of Directors.  The Executive shall be bound by all of the policies and procedures established by the Company from time to time.  However, in case any of those policies conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.




(c)           Expense Reimbursement.  The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable business, promotional, travel and entertainment expenses incurred or paid by the Executiveduring the Employment Period in the performance of Executive’sservices under this Agreement, provided that the Executive furnishes to the Company appropriate documentation required by the Internal Revenue Code in a timely fashion in connection with such expenses and shall furnish such other documentation and accounting as the Company may from time to time reasonably request.

(f)           Notice of Termination.  Any termination of employment by the Company or the Executive shall be communicated by a written ‘‘Notice of Termination’’ to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 14 of this Agreement. In the event of a termination by the Company for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, the Notice of Termination shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specify the date of termination, which date shall be the date of such notice. The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.
  (g)           Resignation from Directorships and Officerships.

The Executive agrees that this Agreement shall serve as written notice of resignation in this circumstance, unless otherwise required by any plan or applicable law.

7.
Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.




(a)  For the duration of the Employment Period and, unless the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, during the Severance Period (the “Non-compete Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, except as specifically provided in Section 2(c), own, manage, operate, finance or control a directly competitive entity that engages or conducts business in an identical manner to the Company; provided, however, that the Executive may own less than 10% in the aggregate of the outstanding shares of any class of securities of any enterprise other than any such enterprise with which the Company competes or is currently engaged in a joint venture, if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive shall present to the Board any opportunity within the scope of the prohibited activities described above, and the Company shall not elect to pursue such opportunity within a reasonable time, then the Executive shall be permitted to pursue such opportunity, subject to the requirements of Section 2(c).




(b)  During the Employment Period and for a period of three (3) months following termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not:




(i)  persuade, solicit or hire, or attempt to recruit, persuade, solicit or hire, any employee, or independent contractor of, or consultant to, the Company, or its Affiliates, to leave the employment (or independent contractor relationship) thereof, whether or not any such employee or independent contractor is party to an employment agreement; or




(ii)  attempt in any manner to solicit or accept from any customer or client of the Company or any of its Affiliates, with whom the Company or any of its Affiliates had significant contact during the term of the Agreement, business of the kind or competitive with the business done by the Company or any of its Affiliates with such customer or to persuade or attempt to persuade any such customer to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which such customer has customarily done or is reasonably expected to do with the Company or any of its Affiliates or if any such customer elects to move its business to a person other than the Company or any of its Affiliates, provide any services (of the kind or competitive with the Business of the Company or any of its Affiliates) for such customer, or have any discussions regarding any such service with such customer, on behalf of such other person.




The Executive recognizes and agrees that because a violation by the Executive of his obligations under this Section 7 will cause irreparable harm to the Company that would be difficult to quantify and for which money damages would be inadequate, the Company shall have the right to injunctive relief to prevent or restrain any such violation, without the necessity of posting a bond. The Executive expressly agrees that the character, duration and scope of the covenant not to compete are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist at the date upon which this Agreement has been executed.  However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court of competent jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration or geographical scope of the covenant not to compete is unreasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist, then it is the intention of the Executive, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, that the covenant not to compete shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the conduct of the Executive which are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist and necessary to assure the Company of the intended benefit of the covenant not to compete.




8.  Inventions and Patents.  Unless any inventions, innovations, improvements, know-how, plans, development, methods, designs, analyses, specifications, software, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice) are presented to the Board of Directors by Executive and approved by the Board of Directors for Ownership by Executive, the Executive acknowledges that all inventions, innovations, improvements, know-how, plans, development, methods, designs, analyses, specifications, software, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice) which related to any of the Company’s actual or proposed business activities and which are created, designed or conceived, developed or made by the Executive during the Executive’s past or future employment by the Company or any Affiliates, or any predecessor thereof (“Work Product”), belong to the Company, or its Affiliates, as applicable.  Any copyrightable work falling within the definition of Work Product shall be deemed a “work made for hire” and ownership of all right title and interest shall rest in the Company.  The Executive hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, to the full extent permitted by law, all right, title and interest in the Work Product, on a worldwide basis, to the Company to the extent ownership of any such rights does not automatically vest in the Company under applicable law.  The Executive will promptly disclose any such Work Product to the Company and perform all actions requested by the Company (whether during or after employment) to establish and confirm ownership of such Work Product by the Company (including without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).

(iii)  Names of customers and their representatives, contracts (including their contents and parties), customer services, and the type, quantity, specifications and content of products and services purchased, leased, licensed or received by customers of the Company or its Affiliates; and
