WHEREAS, Executive has worked with Employer as a financial consultant since May 15, 2009; and





WHEREAS, Employer desires assurance of the continued association and services of the Executive’s experience, skills, abilities, background and knowledge, and is willing to engage the Executive’s services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

1.2           Duties. During Executive’s employment with Employer as Controller, Executive shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and shall be responsible
for performing those duties consistent with the positions of Controller as may from time to time be reasonably assigned to, or requested of, Executive by the Chief Executive Officer.  Executive shall use his best efforts to perform faithfully and effectively such responsibilities. Executive shall conduct all of his activities in a manner so as to maintain and promote the business and reputation of Employer.





1.3           Full-Time Position. Executive, during his employment with Employer, shall devote substantially all of his professional time, attention and skills to the business
and affairs of Employer and perform services for Employer no less than forty (40) hours per week during Employer’s business hours.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may also serve as director, finder or consultant to other companies that are not directly competitive with Employer and to the extent such activities do not interfere with Executive’s performance of services for Employer; provided that Executive shall first advise the Board in writing of all such positions and the compensation
of any nature that Executive shall be entitled to in connection with such other engagements.





1.4           Location of Employment. In the event that Employer shall change the location of Executive’s principal place of employment from its current location at 26381
Crown Valley Parkway, Mission Viejo, California, 92691 to a location that results in a commute of ten (10) or more additional miles to Executive’s current commute, and Executive does not terminate his employment pursuant to section 3.1.5 hereof, but instead relocates to be closer to the Employer’s new office location, then Executive shall be entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable documented relocation expenses, including moving costs, temporary housing (acceptable to Employer) for up to thirty (30)
days, commuting expenses and other relocation costs.

from the Effective Date through August 31, 2011 (approximately two years from the date hereof), unless sooner terminated as provided in Section 3.1.  Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one year terms unless either party shall have given written notice to the other party not less than 90 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any successive term of its intent not to renew this Agreement (the Initial Term, together with any subsequent employment period or
periods, being referred to herein as the “Term”).





2.            COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.





2.1           Salary. Employer shall pay to Executive, and Executive shall accept, as full compensation for any and all services rendered and to be rendered by him to Employer
in all capacities during the term of his employment under this Agreement, (a) a base salary at an annual rate of $120,000 (“Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of Employer, and (b) the additional benefits hereinafter set forth in this Section 2. On January 1st of each year, the Base Salary shall be increased automatically by five percent (5%) with the resulting adjusted salary becoming
the new Base Salary.





2.2           Stock Options. At the sole discretion of the Board, Executive may be granted an option to purchase additional shares of Employer’s common stock. Employer
agrees that immediately after it becomes qualified to register its securities on a Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) it shall register the underlying option shares granted to the Executive, if any.





2.3           Stock Award.  As further consideration for Executive entering into and performing his obligations under this Agreement and the provisions of Section
2.5 hereto, Employer hereby awards Executive a grant of Employer’s Common Stock in the amount of 3,000,000 shares (the “Stock Grant”). Up to 600,000 of such shares may immediately be sold, transferred, assigned, or encumbered by Executive and the remaining shares shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, or encumbered by Executive during the 6 months following the Effective Date and shall be “restricted stock” as that term is defined under the provision of the Securities Act of 1933
and the regulations thereto, and shall contain a legend in substantially the following form:





“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the laws of any state and may not be sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement or the written opinion of counsel to Who’s Your Daddy, Inc. that such registration

2.4           Executive Benefits.





2.4.1           Expenses. Employer shall promptly reimburse Executive for expenses reasonably incurred and approved by Employer in connection with the performance of his duties
(including business travel and entertainment expenses) during the Term, all in accordance with Employer’s policies, practices and procedures with respect thereto.

2.4.2           Vacation.  Executive shall be entitled to three weeks of paid vacation per twelve-month period of employment (accruing evenly throughout each year
and prorated for each partial year), with such vacation to be scheduled and taken in accordance with Employer’s standard vacation policy.





2.4.3           Cellular Telephone. Employer shall reimburse Executive for the use of a cellular telephone in an amount up to $200 per month.  Employer shall have

Employer will pay all premiums under its group insurance plans (medical, dental, vision, etc.) for Executive and his dependents, including COBRA payments resulting from Executive’s coverage under a previous employer’s plans.





2.5           Payment in Stock.





2.5.1           Provision for Penalties.  Employer shall pay Executive’s Base Salary in a timely manner as required by this Agreement.  If a Base
Salary payment, or any fraction thereof, is not paid within fifteen (15) days of the date it is due, Executive will have the option of leaving the amount as an unpaid but payable obligation of Employer or accepting payment in the form of shares of Employer’s common stock (the “Payment Shares”), subject to applicable securities laws.  The number of Payment Shares will be calculated at an amount equal to 150% of the amount of the unpaid obligation using the closing price of Employer’s
common stock on the date the unpaid obligation was due to have been paid.  Executive’s acceptance of the Payment Shares will be deemed an acceptance in lieu of and a waiver of the right to the amount of Base Salary on which the Payment Share calculation was based.
