    Dear
      David:

     

    InfoSearch
      Media, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you employment on the following
      terms:

     

    1. Position.
      Your
      title will be Vice President and Chief Technology Officer and you will report
      to
      the Company's Chief Executive Officer. This is a full-time position based in
      the
      Company’s Marina Del Rey Office. By signing this letter agreement, you confirm
      to the Company that you have no other contractual commitments or other legal
      obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties for the
      Company.

     

    2. Compensation;
      Equity Compensation.
      Your
      annual salary shall be One Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($180,000.00) in
      aggregate per year or pro rata thereof in the event you are employed for less
      than a year. At the discretion of the Officers of the Company, your salary
      will
      be paid in the form of cash or equity. If in equity (in lieu of cash
      compensation for your employment) you will be compensated with an equivalent
      amount of restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as currently
      constituted), pursuant to a grant subject to approval by the Company’s Board of
      Directors, which shall vest quarterly or pro rata for any shorter period, for
      so
      long as you continue to be employed with Company. The number of shares granted
      will be equal to $180,000 divided by the fair market value per share on the
      date
      of the grant. The Equity Compensation referred to in this Section 2, is subject
      to the approval of Company’s Board of Directors and the terms of the Company’s
      standard Stock Purchase Agreement.

     

    3. Employee
      Benefits.
      As a
      regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in a number
      of Company-sponsored benefits, according to the terms of each plan. In addition
      you will be entitled to Paid Time Off “PTO” commensurate with other executives
      at your level and in accordance with the Company’s PTO policy, as in effect from
      time to time. It is agreed you will have a leave without pay during the first
      three (3) weeks of August.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    4. Stock
      Options.
      Subject
      to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, you will be granted an
      option to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The exercise
      price per share will be equal to the fair market value per share on the Date
      of
      Grant. The options will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to
      options granted under the MAC Worldwide, Inc. (predecessor to the Company)
      2004
      Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable
      Stock Option Agreement. Your options will vest in equal monthly installments
      over thirty-six (36) months of service, as described in the applicable Stock
      Option Agreement. 

     

    5. Proprietary
      Information and Inventions Agreement, Non-competition.
      Like
      all Company employees, you will be required, as a condition of your employment
      with the Company, to sign the Company’s standard Proprietary Information and
      Inventions Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     

    As
      additional protection for the Company’s intellectual property, you agree that
      during the period which you are employed by the Company you will be precluded
      from rendering services or engaging in business with any person or business
      entity whose products or services might reasonably be considered competitive
      to
      the Company. 

     

    6. Employment
      Relationship.
      Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment
      with the Company will be “at will,” meaning, that either you or the Company may
      terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.
      Any contrary representations that may have been made to you are superseded
      by
      this letter agreement. This is the full and complete agreement between you
      and
      the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title, compensation and
      benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change
      from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed
      in an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer
      of
      the Company (other than you).

     

    7. Withholding
      Taxes.
      All
      forms of compensation referred to in this letter agreement are subject to
      reduction to reflect applicable withholding and payroll taxes and other
      deductions required by law. In the event that the Company is obligated to pay
      withholding taxes on your behalf that would normally be the responsibility
      of
      the employee, you agree to repay the Company such taxes within thirty (30)
      days
      of their being paid by the Company or, alternatively, such tax obligation will
      be deducted from the next quarterly payment or vesting of shares.

     

    8. Interpretation,
      Amendment and Enforcement.
      This
      letter agreement and Exhibit A constitute the complete agreement between
      you and the Company, contain all of the terms of your employment with the
      Company and supersede any prior agreements,
      representations or understandings
      (whether
      written, oral or implied) between you and the Company. This letter agreement
      may
      not be amended or modified, except by an express written agreement signed by
      both you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. The terms of this letter
      agreement and the resolution of any disputes as to the meaning, effect,
      performance or validity of this letter agreement or arising out of, related
      to,
      or in any way connected with, this letter agreement, your employment with the
      Company or any other relationship between you and the Company (the “Disputes”)
      will be governed by California law, excluding laws relating to conflicts or
      choice of law. You and the Company submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction
      of the federal and state courts located in Los Angeles, California in connection
      with any Dispute or any claim related to any Dispute.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Arbitration.
      Any
      controversy or claim arising out of this letter agreement and any and all claims
      relating to your employment with the Company will be settled by final and
      binding arbitration. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California
      or, at your option, the County in which you primarily worked when the arbitrable
      dispute or claim first arose. The arbitration will be administered by the
      American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution
      of
      Employment Disputes. Any award or finding will be confidential. You and the
      Company agree to provide one another with reasonable access to documents and
      witnesses in connection with the resolution of the dispute. You and the Company
      will share the costs of arbitration equally, except that the Company will bear
      the cost of the arbitrator’s fee and any other type of expense or cost that you
      would not be required to bear if you were to bring the dispute or claim in
      court. Each party will be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees, and the
      arbitrator may not award attorneys’ fees unless a statute or contract at issue
      specifically authorizes such an award. This Section 10 does not apply to
      claims for workers’ compensation benefits or unemployment insurance benefits.
      Injunctive relief and other provisional remedies will be available in accordance
      with Section 1281.8 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

    [DATE]

     

    Dear
      [___________]:

     

    I
      am
      pleased to inform you that InfoSearch Media, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted
      you incentive
      stock options
      to
      purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as set forth below.

     

    The
      grant
      of this option is made pursuant to the MAC Worldwide, Inc. (predecessor to
      the
      Company) 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). This Stock Option is intended to
      qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
      Code of 1986, as amended. The terms of the Plan are incorporated into this
      letter and in the case of any conflict between the Plan and this letter, the
      terms of the Plan shall control. Unless otherwise noted, capitalized terms
      shall
      have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan.

     

    Now,
      therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
      hereinafter set forth:

     

    1. Incentive
      Stock Option.
      The
      Company hereby grants you an incentive stock option (“ISO”) to purchase from the
      Company [_________] shares of Company common stock (“Company Stock”) at a price
      of $1.00 per share. The Date of Grant is [__________]. Unless earlier exercised
      or terminated in accordance with the terms hereunder and in the Plan, this
      ISO
      will expire on the date that is the 10th year anniversary
      of the Date of Grant.

     

    2. Entitlement
      to Exercise the ISO.
      The
      grant of the ISO is subject to the following terms and conditions:

     

    (a) The
      ISO
      shall be exercisable in accordance with the following schedule: 

     

    __________________________________________________________________________________

     

    __________________________________________________________________________________

     

    The
      ISO
      shall cease to vest as of the date of termination for any reason of
      your
      employment or other relationship underlying the issuance of this ISO.
 

     

    (b) If
      you
      die when any portion of the ISO is exercisable, then the person to whom your
      rights under the ISO shall have passed by will or by the laws of distribution
      may exercise any of the exercisable portion of the ISO within one (1) year
      after
      your death, provided
      that no ISO may be exercised in any event more than 10 years after the Date
      of
      Grant.

     

    4. Method
      of Exercise & Payment Under ISO.
      You may
      exercise the vested portion of the ISO in whole or in part, by giving written
      notice to the Company which shall state the election to exercise the ISO and
      the
      number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which the ISO is being
      exercised. The written notice shall be signed by the person exercising the
      ISO,
      shall be delivered to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the Company’s
      principal executive office, and shall be accompanied by payment in full of
      the
      exercise price for the shares of Company Stock being purchased, by delivery
      of
      cash or check. 

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    5. Tax
      Withholding.
      As a
      condition of exercise, you agree that at the time of exercise that you will
      pay
      to the Company the Applicable Withholding Taxes, if any, that the Company is
      required to withhold in connection with the exercise of the ISO. To satisfy
      the
      Applicable Withholding Taxes, you may elect to (i) make cash payment or
      authorize additional withholding from cash compensation, (ii) deliver Mature
      Shares (valued at their Fair Market Value) or (iii) have the Company retain
      that
      number of shares of Company Stock that would satisfy all or a portion of the
      Applicable Withholding Taxes. 

     

    6. Transferability
      of ISO.
      The ISO
      is not transferable by you (other than by will or by the laws of descent and
      distribution) and may be exercised during your lifetime only by
      you.

     

    7. Termination
      of ISO.
      In the
      event that your employment or other relationship underlying the issuance of
      this
      ISO is terminated for Cause, your vested and non-vested ISO rights shall be
      forfeited and terminated immediately and may not thereafter be exercised to
      any
      extent. 

     

    In
      the
      event that your employment or other relationship underlying the issuance of
      this
      ISO is terminated by you or the Company for any reason other than Cause or
      your
      death, you shall have the right to exercise the portion of the ISO that has
      vested as of the date of such termination at any time during the ninety (90)
      day
      period following the date of such termination, and not thereafter, provided
      that
      no ISO may be exercised in any event more than ten (10) years after the Date
      of
      Grant.

     

    8. Adjustments.
      If the
      number of outstanding shares of Company Stock is increased or decreased as
      a
      result of one or more stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends,
      recapitalizations, mergers, share exchange acquisitions, combinations or
      reclassifications, the number of shares with respect to which you have an
      unexercised ISO and the ISO price shall be appropriately adjusted as provided
      in
      the Plan.

     

    9. Delivery
      of Certificate.
      The
      Company may delay delivery of the certificate for shares purchased pursuant
      to
      the exercise of an ISO until (i) receipt of any required representation by
      you
      or completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under
      any state or federal law regulation that the Company’s counsel shall determine
      as necessary or advisable, and (ii) receipt by the Company of advice by counsel
      that all applicable legal requirements have been complied with. As a condition
      of exercising the ISO, you may be required to execute a customary written
      indication of your investment intent and such other agreements the Company
      deems
      necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable securities laws.

     

    10. No
      Guaranteed Right of Employment.
      If you
      are employed by the Company, nothing contained herein shall confer upon you
      any
      right to be continued in the employment of the Company or interfere in any
      way
      with the right of the Company to terminate your employment at any time for
      any
      cause.

     

    11. Notice
      of Disqualifying Dispositions.
      You
      agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after you make a disposition
      of any shares acquired upon exercise of this ISO if such disposition occurs
      before the later of (a) the date that is two years after the Date of Grant,
      or
      (b) the date that is one year after the date that you acquired such shares
      upon
      exercise of this ISO.

    12. Notices.
      Notices
      hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place
      of
      business, and shall be delivered to you in person or mailed or delivered to
      you
      at the address set forth below, or in either case at such other address as
      one
      party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing. 

    

    13. Choice
      of Law.
      This
      Agreement shall be governed by Delaware law, without giving effect to the
      conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
