Such services and duties may include serving as a director, officer or employee of one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries.  However, without Employee's consent he shall not be required to render services or perform duties hereunder, which are not reasonably consistent with and customary for his position as a senior executive officer of the Company.

2.  Term; death or disability.

(a) Employment hereunder shall commence as of  July 1, 2014, and shall continue for an initial period of twelve (12) months, and shall continue thereafter for successive renewal pe­riods of one (1) year each after the last day of the initial twelve-month period, all subject to paragraph 4.

(b) If Employee dies during his employment hereunder, payment of compensation shall thereupon be discontinued.  If for any reason Employee is physically or mentally disabled so as to be unable to perform all his duties hereunder for a period of at least fourteen (14) days and the employment of Employee is not terminated pursuant to paragraphs 2(a) or 4, then payment of compensation hereunder shall be discontinued during the period beginning three (3) months after such disability begins and ending on the date when Employee is able to resume full-time employment hereunder.

3. Compensation.

(a) Subject to paragraph 2(b), the Employee has agreed to serve in the position of Chairman of the Board for an annual salary of $120,000.00 until otherwise agreed in writing by the Employee and the Company. Such rate of salary shall be reviewed at least annually by the Board of Directors of the Company and may be in­creased or decreased (but not below the rate specified above) to reflect the performance by Employee of his duties hereunder, the results of the operations of the Company's business or other fac­tors.

(b) Bonuses may be granted to Employee by the Board of Directors of Company in the sole discretion of the Board.  Employee shall be entitled to receive employee benefits on no less favorable a basis than the basis applicable to other executive employees of the Company, except for benefits not legally avail­able to Employee because of his status, compensation or similar factors. Employee shall also be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in performing his duties hereunder, including but not limited to travel incurred by Employee on behalf of the Company or that otherwise facilitates the Employee’s provision of services to the Company.

In the event Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by Employee for any reason or by the Company for cause on or before Employee has been employed for six (6) months, the Employee shall be obligated to repay the entire signing bonus to the Company over a period of twelve months without interest; provided that if Employee defaults in payment of any amounts such, the delinquent payment balance shall bear interest at 10% per annum.

5.  Termination.  The employment of Employee hereunder may be termi­nated by the Company at any time, without notice, for Employee's dishonesty, disloyalty or refusal or inability to perform his duties hereunder or for Employee's resignation at a time or in a manner not permitted by this Agreement or for any other material breach of this Agreement by Employee (a "Termination for Cause"). The employment of Employee hereunder may also be terminated by the Company at any time, upon at least ninety (90) days' written notice to Employee, for Employee's failure or inability to perform such duties in a manner reasonably

satisfactory to the Board of Directors of the Company in the judgment of the Board rendered in good faith.

6.  Confidential information, inventions, etc.

(a) Employee acknowledges that:  (i) in the course of Employee's employment hereunder he may acquire Confidential Information (as defined below); (ii) the Confidential Information is the property of the Consolidated Company (defined below); (iii) the use, misappropriation or disclosure of the Con­fidential Information would constitute a breach of trust and could cause irreparable injury to the Consolidated Company; and (iv) it is es­sential to the protection of the Consolidated Company's good will and to the mainte­nance of the Consolidated Company's competitive position that the Con­fidential Information be kept secret and that Employee not dis­close the Confidential Information to others or use the Confi­dential In­formation to Employee's own advantage or the advantage of others.  For purposes of this Agreement the term "Consolidated Company" shall include, at any particular time, the Company and its subsidiaries, or any particular subsidiary, at that time.

(b) During his employment hereunder and after any termination of such employment Employee shall not disclose any of the Confidential Information to any person, except as may be required by or incident to his duties hereunder, and except as may be required by law, in which case Employee shall promptly notify the Company of such legal requirement and give the Consolidated Company an adequate opportunity to contest such legal requirement.

(d) Except for the inventions, property, trade-secrets or other rights listed in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof and any improvements thereto by or on behalf of Employee, if during his employment hereunder Employee invents or develops any inventions, processes, marks, text or ideas used or useful in the Consolidated Company’s business, such inventions, processes, marks, text and ideas shall be the property of the Consolidated Company, and Employee shall execute and deliver to the Consolidated Company upon its request such acknowledgements, assignments, applications and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Company to confirm the Consolidated Company’s ownership thereof and title thereto.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall include, but is not limited to, any information, such as trade “know-how,” trade secrets, customer, advertiser and subscriber lists, employee lists and information, pricing policies, operational methods, methods of doing business, technical processes, formulae, designs and design projects, inventions, research projects, and other information concerning the business affairs

  

3

  

of the Consolidated Company, which (i) was or is used in or may be used in or useful to the Consolidated Company’s business or results from any of the research and development activities of the Consolidated Company, and (ii) is private or confidential in that it is not generally known or available to the public other than by unauthorized disclosure by Employee.

7.  Non-compete, etc.

(a) During his employment hereunder and during the Severance Period and for two (2) years after the end of the Severance Period or until the date which is two (2) years after the date of termination of Employee’s employment hereunder, whichever is longer, Employee shall not, in any Competitive Territory, engage, directly or indirectly, whether as principal, agent, officer, director, employee, consultant, shareholder or otherwise, alone or in association with any other person, corporation or other entity, in any Competing Business.  For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term "Competing Business" shall mean any person, corporation, firm, or other entity or group which sells or attempts to sell any products or services which are the same as or similar to the products and services offered by the Consolidated Company at any time during the two years prior to the termination of Employee's employment hereunder, and (ii) the term "Competitive Territory" shall mean any county or metropolitan area in the United States, or any equivalent governmental or statistical unit elsewhere in the world, in which the Company has maintained an office or produced or sold products or services, or in which customers or potential customers of the Company have maintained their offices or other significant facilities, during the two years prior to the date of termination of Employee’s employment hereunder.

(b) During his employment hereunder and during the Severance Period and for two (2) years after the end of the Severance Period or until the date which is two (2) years after the date of termination of Employee’s employment hereunder, whichever is longer, Employee shall not solicit or induce any employee or consultant of the Consolidated Company to leave the Consolidated Company’s employ for any reason whatsoever, or hire any employee of the Consolidated Company.

8.  Injunctive and other relief.

(a) Employee represents that his experience and ca­pabilities are such that the provisions of paragraphs 6 and 7 will not prevent him from earning his livelihood, and acknowledges that it would cause the Consolidated Company serious and ir­reparable injury if Employee were to use his ability and knowledge in competi­tion with the Consolidated Company or otherwise to breach the obliga­tions contained in said paragraphs.

(b) In the event of a breach by Employee of the terms of this Agreement, the Consolidated Company shall be entitled, if it shall so elect, to institute legal proceedings to obtain dam­ages for any such breach, or to enforce the specific performance of this Agree­ment by Employee and to enjoin Employee from any further violation of this Agreement and

  

4

  

to exercise such remedies cumu­latively or in conjunction with all other rights and remedies provided by law.  Employee acknowledges, however, that the rem­edies at law for any breach by him of the provisions of this Agreement may be in­adequate and that the Consolidated Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief against him in the event of any breach whether or not the Consolidated Company may also be entitled to recover damages hereunder.

                      (c) It is the intention of the parties that the provi­sions of paragraphs 6 and 7 hereof shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under ap­plicable law, but that the unenforceability (or modification to conform to such law) of any provision or provisions hereof shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remainder thereof.  If any provision or provisions hereof shall be deemed invalid or un­enforceable, either in whole or in part, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete or modify, as necessary, the offending provision or provisions and to alter the bounds thereof in order to render it valid and enforce­able.

9.  Governing law, submission to jurisdiction, etc.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada with­out giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of Nevada or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Nevada.  The Consolidated Company and Employee submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Nevada, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court.

10.  Amendments, waivers, survival, etc.  No amendment of any pro­vi­sion of this Agreement, and no postponement or waiver of any such provision or of any de­fault, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant here­under, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless such amendment, postponement or waiver is in writ­ing and signed by or on behalf of the Company and Employee.  No such amend­ment, post­ponement or waiver shall be deemed to ex­tend to any prior or sub­sequent matter, whether or not similar to the subject matter of such amendment, postponement or waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of the Consolidated Company or Employee in exer­cising any right, power or privi­lege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exer­cise of any right, power or privi­lege hereunder preclude any other or further exer­cise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privi­lege.  The provisions of paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement and remain enforceable in accordance with their terms.

11.  Assignment.  The rights and duties of the Consolidated Company under this Agreement may be transferred to, and shall be binding upon, any person or company which acquires the Consolidated Company or its business by merger, purchase or otherwise.  Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 11, neither the Consolidated Company nor Employee may transfer any of their respective rights and duties hereunder except with the written consent of the other party hereto.

12.  Interpretation, etc.  The Company and Employee have par­ticipated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agree­ment.  If an ambigu­ity or question of intent or interpreta­tion arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Company and Employee and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring the Consolidated Company or Em­ployee because of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  The word "including" shall mean including with­out limitation.  The rights and remedies expressly specified in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that either party would other­wise have.  The paragraph headings hereof are for conve­nience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

13.  Integration; counterparts.  This Agreement consti­tutes the en­tire agreement among the parties and supersedes any prior under­stand­ings, agree­ments or representations by or among the parties, writ­ten or oral, to the extent they relate to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counter­parts, each of which shall be deemed an origi­nal but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instru­ment.  It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
