7.       TERMINATION.

            (a) Early Termination by Company for Cause. During the term of this
Agreement, the Employee's employment may be terminated by the Company for Cause
(as defined herein) only by the affirmative vote of 100% of all of the members
of the Board of Managers of the Company then holding office (without counting
any vote of the Employee whose services are sought to be terminated, if the
Employee is then a member of the Board of Managers) on 30 days prior written
notice by means of a Notice of Termination, and an opportunity for the Employee,
accompanied by counsel of his choice, to address the full Board of Managers,
that one of the following conditions exists or one of the following events has
occurred (each of which is defined as "Cause"):

                  (i)  Wrongful act or acts on the part of the Employee which
caused material damage to the Company;

                  (ii) The arrest, filing of charges or conviction of the
Employee for a crime involving the Company or moral turpitude;

                  (iii) The refusal or inability by the Employee, continued for
at least 14 days, to perform such employment duties as may reasonably be
delegated or assigned to him under this Agreement, consistent with his executive
position, by the Regional Director or the Board of Managers of the Company;

                  (iv) Willful and unexcused neglect by the Employee of his
employment duties under this Agreement continued for at least 14 days after
written warning;

                  (v) Any other material breach by the Employee of the
provisions of this Agreement;

                  (vi) Curtailment in project scope, implementation, or funding;
or

                  (vii) Other cases as provided in Armenian law.

            Pending termination, the Company may suspend Employee at will.
Subject only to a final determination by dispute resolution procedure pursuant
to the provisions of Section 11 of this Agreement, the Board of Managers'
determination, in good faith, in writing that cause exists for termination of
the Employee's employment shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes under
this Agreement. Upon such determination by the Board of Directors, the
Employee's compensation pursuant to Section 3 hereof and all other benefits
provided hereunder shall terminate on the Termination Date, except that the
Employee shall be entitled to be paid severance pay equal to his then base
compensation for a period of three months thereafter. In the event that the
Employee desires to take any matter with respect to such determination to
Armenian court of respective jurisdiction, he must commence a court proceeding
within 30 days after receipt of written notice of the Board of Managers'
determination. If the Employee fails to take such action within such period, he
will be deemed conclusively to have waived his right to adjudication of the
termination of his employment hereunder.

<PAGE>

            (b) Termination by Employee. In the event that the Company shall
default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement in any
material respect, and shall not cure such default within 10 days of receipt by
the Company of written notice of such default from the Employee, the Employee
may terminate this Agreement by delivery of a Notice of Termination. Upon any
termination pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7(b), the Employee shall
be entitled to receive, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, one month's
payments which would have been made to the Employee on account of his base
salary in effect at the date of the delivery of a Notice of Termination. Upon
fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 7(b) hereof and subject to
Section 7(f) hereof, all rights and obligations of the parties under this
Agreement shall thereupon be terminated. The Employee shall have no obligation
to mitigate damages, and amounts payable pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 7(b) shall not be reduced on account of any income earned by the
Employee from other employment or other sources.


            (c) Termination by Reason of Disability. In the event that Employee
shall be prevented from rendering all of the services or performing all of his
duties hereunder by reason of illness, injury or incapacity (whether physical or
mental) for a period of six consecutive months, determined by an independent
physician selected by the Board of Managers of the Company, the Company shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement, by giving 10 days prior written
notice to the Employee, provided that the Company shall continue to pay his then
base compensation for a period of 12 months thereafter (exclusive of any benefit
under the Restricted Stock Award). Until terminated in the manner set forth in
this Section 7(c), the Employee shall be entitled to receive his full
compensation and benefits provided hereunder through the Termination Date. Any
payments to the Employee under any disability insurance or plan maintained by
the Company shall be applied against and shall reduce the amount of the base
compensation payable by the Company under this Section 7(c).

            (d) Termination by Reason of Death. In the event that the Employee
shall die during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate upon
such death. The death benefit payable to the Employee under this Agreement
(exclusive of any benefit under the Restricted Stock Award) shall be three
months salary plus the life insurance benefits provided to the Employee, if any.

            (e) Certain Definitions.

                  (i) Any termination of the Employee's employment by the
Company or by the Employee shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to
the other party hereto. For purposes hereof, a "Notice of Termination" shall
mean a notice which shall state the specific reasons, and shall set forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances, for such termination.

                  (ii) "Termination Date" shall mean the date specified in the
Notice of Termination as the last day of Employee's employment by the Company.

<PAGE>

            (f) Continued Maintenance of Benefit Plans in Certain Cases.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the
Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 7(b) or 7(c) hereof,
the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, at the Employee's expense,
for the continued benefit of the Employee for the number of years (including
partial years) remaining in the term of employment hereunder, all employee
benefit plans and programs in which the Employee was entitled to participate
immediately prior to the Termination Date, provided that the Employee's
continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of
such plans and programs. In the event that the Employee's participation in any
such plan or program is barred, the Company shall have no obligation to provide
any substitute benefits for the Employee.




8.        CONFIDENTIALITY.

            (a) During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of two years
thereafter, the Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Board of Managers of the Company, disclose to any person, other than an employee
of the Company or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or
appropriate in connection with the performance by the Employee of his duties
hereunder, any of the Company's confidential information obtained by the
Employee during the term of this Agreement, including, without limitation, trade
secrets, products, designs, customers or methods of distribution.

            (b) The obligations of confidentiality contained in this Section
shall not extend to any matter which is disclosed by the Employee pursuant to an
order of a governmental body or court of competent jurisdiction or as required
pursuant to a legal proceeding in which the Employee or the Company is a party.
These obligations of confidentiality are in addition to, not in place of any
other applicable confidentiality obligations.

      9. CERTAIN REMEDIES IN EVENT OF BREACH. In the event that the Employee
commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the restrictions on
confidentiality, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies:


            (a) to obtain an injunction restraining any violation or threatened
violation of the confidentiality provisions or any other appropriate decree of
specific performance by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and
agreed by the Employee that the services rendered, and to be rendered to the
Company by him as an Employee and as legal counsel, are of a special, unique and
extraordinary character and that any such breach or threatened breach will cause
irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an
adequate remedy to the Company; and

            (b) to require the Employee to account for and pay over to the
Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other
benefits (collectively the "Benefits") derived or received by the Employee as

pay over the Benefits to the Company.

be independent of the other, and shall be severally enforceable, and such rights
and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and
remedies available to the Company at law or in equity.

we hereby grant you Forty five Thousand (45,000) shares of the Common Stock of
Global Gold Corporation (the "Corporation"), evidenced by a certificate of
shares of our common stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Shares"), subject to
applicable securities law restrictions and the terms and conditions set forth
herein:


                  1. For the first twelve month period commencing with the date

unless mutually agreed otherwise.

<PAGE>

                           (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, after you become vested in any of the Shares granted

Agreement. All parties hereto agree that the mailing of any process in any suit,
action or proceeding at the addresses of the parties shown herein shall
constitute personal service thereof.

                  7. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such
provision and shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable
any other severable provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be
carried out as if any such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained
herein.

occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in this Section 12), which shall
occur upon:
                                    (i) (x) the sale of all or substantially all
of the  Corporation's  assets or (y) a merger  (including  a merger in which the
Corporation is the surviving  corporation) or  consolidation  of the Corporation
with one or more  corporations  or  entities,  as a result of which in each such
case the Corporation's  voting securities  outstanding  immediately  before such
sale,  merger or  consolidation  represent less than 50% of the combined  voting
power  of  voting   securities  of  the  Corporation  or  the  surviving  entity
outstanding immediately after such sale, merger or consolidation; or

                                    (ii) any "person", as such term is used in
Section  13(d) and 14(d) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended
(the  "Exchange  Act") or  persons  acting  in  concert  (other  than a

securities,  pursuant  to a plan of such  person or persons  to  acquire  such a
controlling  interest in the Company,  whether pursuant to a merger (including a
merger in which the Company is the surviving  corporation),  an  acquisition  of
securities or otherwise,  except that this Section  12(a)(ii) shall not apply to
any person who  provides  financing  to the Company or any of their  affiliates,
pursuant to a private placement transaction or otherwise; and

                           (b) a transaction shall not constitute a Change of
Control if its sole purpose is to change the
state of the Corporation's incorporation or to create a holding company that
will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the
Company's securities immediately before such transaction.


                           (c) the Shares shall become fully vested upon your
death or upon your becoming disabled, which
shall mean you shall have been unable to render all of your duties by reason of
illness, injury or incapacity (whether physical or mental) for a period of six
