 Exhibit 10.10 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Employment Agreement
(“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 31st day of March, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), and is by and between POWERVERDE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and GEORGE KONRAD (the
“Employee”). 
 R E C I T A L S

the Employee on the terms and conditions set forth below. 

  

	 	B.	The Employee is willing to make the Employee’s services available to the Company on the terms and conditions set forth below. 

AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Employee and the Employee hereby agrees to serve the Company on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

2. Duties of Employee. 
 (a) In General. During the Employment Period (as defined in Section 3, below), the Employee shall serve as “President” of the Company. The Employee shall serve as the Company’s
principal executive officer and shall diligently perform all duties customarily associated with his position and as may be assigned to the Employee by the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time. During the Employment Period (as defined
in Section 3, below), the Employee will faithfully carry out his responsibilities, and provide services to the Company at such hours as may be necessary for the Employee to perform effectively the responsibilities of the position. In addition,
the Employee shall act in accordance with (i) standing instructions for the position which may be issued by the Company from time to time; (ii) all reasonable and lawful requests, directions and/or restrictions imposed by the Company; and
(iii) all policies of the Company as prescribed from time to time. Upon termination of employment, the Employee shall return all Company equipment and other Company property in the Employee’s possession, custody or control. 

During the Employment Period, the Employee shall devote the Employee’s business time, attention and energies to the business of the
Company; provided, however, this provision shall not be construed as preventing the Employee from continuing, and devoting time, attention and energies to, his other businesses consistent with his existing practice, or otherwise investing savings or
other assets in such form or manner as will not require any services on the part of the Employee, nor shall it be construed as preventing the Employee from engaging in any charity or civic work approved in writing by the Company. 

 3. Term. The Employee shall be employed by the Company commencing on the Effective
Date of this Agreement. The Employee’s employment by the Company shall continue for a period of two years (the Agreement’s “Initial Term”), unless this Agreement is terminated first pursuant to Article 6. If not previously
terminated, at the end of the Initial Term the Agreement shall be automatically renewed for an additional term of one year, and it shall similarly be renewed on future one-year anniversary dates (“Renewal Terms”) until the Agreement
is terminated pursuant to Article 6. The entire term of the Agreement (comprised of that part of the Initial Term, and any Renewal Terms, prior to termination) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Employment Period.” For
all purposes of the Agreement, no termination of the Employee’s employment shall be deemed to have occurred if the Employee is transferred during the Employment Period to any business entity which is an Affiliate of the Company. An
“Affiliate” shall mean any corporation or other entity that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company. 
 4. Compensation. 
 (a) Base Compensation. The Employee shall receive
compensation of $10,000 per month by the Company during the Initial Term (the “Compensation”), with such Compensation payable in installments consistent with the Company’s normal payroll schedule, subject to applicable
withholding and other taxes as shall be required by applicable law. Thereafter the Company may increase the Employee’s Compensation, in its sole discretion. 
 (b) Bonuses. During the Term of Employment, the Employee shall be eligible to receive bonuses pursuant to the bonus program of the Company then in effect, and in such amounts and at such times as
the Company shall determine in its sole discretion pursuant to the terms of such program. 
 5. Expense Reimbursement and
Other Benefits. 
 (a) Reimbursement of Expenses. Subject to such reasonable rules and guidelines as the Company may
from time to time adopt for its employees generally, the Company shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable expenses actually paid or incurred by the Employee during the Term of Employment in the course of and pursuant to the business of the
Company. The Employee shall account to the Company in writing for all expenses for which reimbursement is sought and shall supply to the Company copies of all relevant invoices, receipts or other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.

 (b) Compensation/Benefit Programs. During the Term of Employment, the Employee shall be entitled to participate in all
employee benefit plans as are presently or hereafter offered by the Company to its executive-level employees, including, without limitation, and to the extent existing, the Company’s group health insurance plan and any bonus, option or similar
incentive compensation plan, 401(k) plan, group life and short- and long-term disability plans and automobile allowance program, subject to the general eligibility and participation provisions set forth in such plans and required by applicable law.

  
 2 

 (c) Vacation. The Employee shall be entitled to such days of vacation during the Term
of Employment as are reasonable and customary and in accordance with the Company’s existing policies, or as otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties. 
 6. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Termination. The Company and/or
Employee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and the Employee’s employment hereunder, at any time, for cause. The Employee’s employment and the Employment Period shall terminate automatically upon the Employee’s death,
as of the date of death. 
 (b) Payment(s) to Employee Following Termination. Upon the termination of Employee’s
employment hereunder for any reason, the Company shall only be obligated to pay to the Employee (i) on the date of such termination, the Employee’s Compensation through the date of termination; and (ii) within 30 days after the date
of such termination, any pro rated bonus, if applicable, pursuant to Section 4(b) based on that portion of the relevant period during which the Employee was employed, if applicable, through the Initial Term. The Company shall have no
further liability hereunder (other than for reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 5(a), above). 

(c) Resignation. Upon any notice of termination of employment pursuant to this Article 6, the Employee shall automatically and
without further action be deemed to have resigned as an officer, and if the Employee was then serving as a director of the Company, and if required by the Company, the Employee hereby agrees to immediately execute a resignation letter to the
Company. 
 (e) Survival. The provisions of this Article 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, as
applicable. 
 7. Restrictive Covenants. 
 (a) Confidentiality. Except as required in the performance of Employee's work for the Company, Employee will not directly or indirectly use or disclose any Trade Secret Information (as defined
below), either during or after employment with the Company for so long as such information remains Trade Secret Information as defined herein. Except as required in the performance of Employee's work for the Company, Employee will not directly or
indirectly use or disclose any Confidential Information (as defined below), either during employment with the Company or for a period of two years thereafter. 
 As used herein, “Trade Secret Information” means any information possessed by the Company which derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to,
and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. For purposes of this Agreement, “Trade 

  
 3 

 
Secret Information” includes both information disclosed to Employee by the Company, or by its other employees, agents or representatives, and information otherwise acquired or developed by
Employee in the course of his employment with the Company. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means any information possessed by the Company which is not readily ascertainable by proper means by other persons, regardless of
whether such Confidential Information has independent economic value. Any information that Employee can demonstrate is publicly available through no fault of Employee or others with a duty or other obligation of confidentiality to the Company
(contractual or otherwise), is not Trade Secret Information or Confidential Information within the meaning of this Agreement. 

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Trade Secret Information shall include, but is not limited to: (i) information
concerning the Company's management, financial condition, financial operation, purchasing activities, pricing formulas, existing and contemplated products and services, sales activities, marketing research, marketing plans, marketing activities, and
business plans; (ii) information acquired or compiled by the Company concerning actual or prospective customers, including but, not limited to, their identities, their business operations, their finances, the identity and quantity of products
or services purchased from the Company, and other unpublished information furnished by or about them to the Company; (iii) the Company’s software (including source code, object code and related documentation), its software requirements and
design documentation, its product development plans, its security procedures, methods and vulnerabilities (including, without limitation, all passwords and user ids), the algorithms, methods and procedures used within the Company Software, and all
ideas and proposals, whether generated internally or not, relating to the design, operation, implementation, use and maintenance of the Company’s software, and (iv) all other types and categories of information (in whatever form) with
respect to which, under all the circumstances, Employee knows or has reason to know that the Company intends or expects secrecy to be maintained and as to which the Company has made reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy. 

The Company may, from time to time, inform Employee of restrictions upon the use or disclosure of specified information which has been
licensed or otherwise disclosed to the Company by third parties pursuant to license or confidential disclosure agreements which contain restrictions upon the use or disclosure of such information. Employee agrees that such information shall be
treated as Confidential Information under this Agreement, and, in addition, Employee agrees to abide by the restrictions upon use and/or disclosure contained in such agreements. 

Employee will not use or disclose to the Company any confidential or proprietary information belonging to others, and Employee represents
that his employment by the Company does not and will not require the use or disclosure of such information or the violation of any confidential relationship with any third party. 

(b) Other Property of the Company. All documents, encoded media, and other tangible items provided or made accessible to Employee
by the Company, or by its other employees, agents or representatives, or prepared, generated or created by Employee or others in connection with any business activity of the Company, are and shall remain the property of the Company. 

  
 4 

 Upon termination of his employment with the Company, Employee will promptly deliver to the
Company all such documents, media, and other items in Employee's possession, including all complete or partial copies, recordings, abstracts, notes or reproductions of any kind made from or about such documents, media, items or information contained
therein. 
 Employee will neither have nor claim any right, title, or interest in any invention, patent, copyright, trademark,
service mark or trade name (or any application released thereto) owned or used by the Company. 
 (c) Ownership of
Developments. All work, writing, material, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights associated with any ideas, concepts, techniques, Inventions (as defined below), processes, or works of authorship developed or
created by Employee during the course of performing work for the Company or its clients (collectively, “Work Product”) shall belong exclusively to the Company and shall, to the extent possible, be considered a work made by the
Employee for hire for the Company within the meaning of Title 17 of the United States Code. To the extent the Work Product may not be considered work made by the Employee for hire for the Company, the Employee hereby assigns all right title and
interest the Employee has or may have in such Work Product to the Company, a Employee further agrees to execute any assignments or similar documents requested by the Company in the future to further evidence and document the Company’s rights in
and to any Work Product, and to do so without any requirement of further consideration, even if such request is made after this Agreement expires or terminates. For purposes of this Agreement, any Invention relating to the business of the Company or
to the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development with respect to which Employee files a patent application within one (1) year after termination of employment with the Company shall be presumed to be an Invention
conceived by Employee during the period of his employment with the Company, rebuttable only by accurate, written and duly corroborated evidence that such Invention was not first conceived by Employee until after the termination of his employment
with the Company. 
 For the purposes of this Section 7(c), “Work Product” shall include, without limitation, all
work relating in any way to the business of the Company that is conceived or created, in whole or in part, by the Employee during the term of Employment, regardless of whether such creation is performed during normal working hours or with the use of
Company equipment, all copies of such work in any medium whatsoever in the Employee’s control or possession, and all derivative works of such work authored in whole or in part by the Employee. 

As used herein, “Invention” means any discovery, improvement, innovation, idea, formula, or shop right (whether or not
patentable, whether or not put into writing, and whether or not put into practice) made, generated, or conceived by Employee (whether alone or with others, whether or not patentable, whether or not put into writing, and whether or not reduced to
practice) while employed with the Company that relates in any way to the Company’s products, services, market, employees, business methods, operations or product plans. Employee further agrees that all Inventions generated, made or conceived by
Employee during the period of his employment with the Company shall also be solely owned by the Company, and Employee hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company all of his right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions. Employee agrees to
and shall promptly disclose all Inventions to the Company in writing. 

  
 5 

 Employee further agrees to execute any assignments or similar documents requested by the
Company to further evidence and document the Company’s rights in and to any Inventions or, and to cooperate with Company, at the Company’s expense, in obtaining letters patent or equivalent protection for such Inventions throughout the
world, and to do so without any requirement of further consideration, even if such request is made after this Agreement expires or terminates. 
 (d) Definition of Company. Solely for purposes of this Article 7, the term “Company” also shall include any existing or future subsidiaries of the Company. 

(e) Covenant Not to Compete. During the period of Employee's employment with the Company and for a period of two years thereafter,
Employee will not, as an employee, officer, director, contractor, broker, distributor, advisor, consultant, or owner, or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly participate or assist in: (i) the design, development, production, marketing
or sales of any product or service competitive with any product or service which the Company markets or plans to market at the time of termination of Employee's employment with the Company; or (ii) the management or financing of a business
enterprise engaged in any such activities. The geographic territory within which Employee will refrain from such activities shall be the United States of America, the countries which are members of the European Union and any other geographic
territory within which the Company or any Company agent or representative markets or plans to market any such products or services at the time of termination of Employee's employment (“Restricted Area”). 

(f) Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the two-year period after the date of termination of Employee’s employment with the
Company, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, either (i) solicit, divert, take away or accept, or attempt to solicit, divert, take away or accept, the business of any Restricted Customer (as defined below) for any product or service
offered by the Company within the Restricted Area; or (ii) attempt or seek to cause any Restricted Customer to refrain, in any respect, from acquiring from or through the Company any product or services offered by the Company within the
Restricted Area. As used herein, the term “Restricted Customer” means any customer to whom or to which goods or services were provided by the Company during the two-year period prior to the date of Employee’s employment, and
any potential customer of the Company that the Company solicited during the one-year period prior to the date of termination of Employee’s employment with the Company. 
 (g) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the two-year period after the date of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee will not, as to work within the Restricted
Area, directly or indirectly solicit, request or induce any employee of the Company to terminate employment with the Company and seek employment with another firm other than the Company; provided, however, that a general advertisement in a medium of
general public circulation with respect to a particular employment position that is not targeted at any one or more the employees of the Company will not violate the covenants of this Section. 

(h) Duty of Loyalty. Employee agrees that during the time that Employee is employed by the Company, Employee will owe the Company
a duty of loyalty, and that as part of this duty of loyalty, Employee shall not engage in any form of business activity representing competition against the Company. Similarly, Employee, while employed by the Company, shall

  
 6 

 
not appropriate for Employee’s own use any business opportunity of the Company, or otherwise engage in conduct where Employee’s own business interests are developed instead of the
Company’s business interests. 
 (i) Requests for Clarification. In the event Employee is uncertain as to the
meaning of any provision of this Agreement or its application to any particular information, item or activity, Employee will inquire in writing to the President of the Company, specifying any areas of uncertainty. The Company will respond in writing
within a reasonable time and will endeavor to clarify any subject of uncertainty, including such things as whether it considers particular information to be its Trade Secret Information or whether it considers any particular activity or employment
to be in violation of this Agreement. 
 (j) Notice to Subsequent Employers. For a period of two years after termination
of his employment with the Company, Employee will inform any prospective new employer (before accepting employment) of the terms of this Agreement. In addition, it is agreed that the terms of this Agreement are not confidential, and that the Company
may disclose the provisions of this Agreement, without any liability whatsoever, to any person, including, without limitation, one that is engaged in a business relationship with Employee, and may indicate that it is believed that Employee is in
violation of this Agreement. 
 (k) Acknowledgment by Employee. The Employee acknowledges and confirms that (i) the
restrictive covenants contained in this Article 7 are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company; and (ii) the restrictions contained in this Article 7 (including, without limitation, the length of the term
of the provisions of this Article 7) are not overbroad, overlong, or unfair and are not the result of overreaching, duress or coercion of any kind. 
 (l) Reformation by Court. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision of this Article 7 is invalid or more restrictive than permitted under the governing
law of such jurisdiction, then only as to enforcement of this Article 7 within the jurisdiction of such court, such provision shall be interpreted and enforced as if it provided for the maximum restriction permitted under such governing law.

 (m) Survival. The provisions of this Article 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, as applicable.

 8. Injunction. It is recognized and hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto that a breach by the Employee of any of
the covenants contained in Article 7 of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm and damage to the Company, the monetary amount of which may be virtually impossible to ascertain. As a result, the Employee recognizes and hereby acknowledges that
the Company shall be entitled to seek an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining and restraining any violation of any or all of the covenants contained in Article 7 of this Agreement by the Employee or any of the
Employee’s affiliates, associates, partners or agents, either directly or indirectly, and that such right to injunction shall be cumulative and in addition to whatever other remedies the Company may possess. 

  
 7 

 9. Assignment. Neither party shall have the right to assign or delegate the
Employee’s rights or obligations hereunder, or any portion thereof, to any other person. 
 10. Governing Law. This
Agreement is to be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Florida. The parties agree to accept any service of process by mail and to the exclusive venue of courts of competent jurisdiction located in Miami-Dade County, Florida
in any dispute arising out of the employment by the Company of the Employee, compensation or any damages in respect thereof. 

11. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and, upon its effectiveness, shall supersede all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, both oral and written, between the Employee and the Company (or any of its affiliates) with respect to such subject matter.
This Agreement may not be modified in any way unless by a written instrument signed by both the Company and the Employee. 
 12. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered by courier, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested
or sent by confirmed facsimile transmission addressed as set forth herein. Notices personally delivered, sent by facsimile or sent by overnight courier shall be deemed given on the date of delivery and notices mailed in accordance with the foregoing

13. Benefits; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be for the benefit of and binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and, where applicable, assigns, including, without limitation, any successor to the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise.

Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining portions of this Agreement or any part thereof, all of which are inserted conditionally on their being valid in law. 

15. Waivers. The waiver by either party hereto of a breach or violation of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not
operate nor be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation.

either party hereto brings suit for the collection of any damages resulting from, or the injunction of any action constituting, a breach of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, then each party shall pay its own court costs and
attorneys’ fees related thereto.
