        (e)   With
respect to payroll amounts, which will include worker's compensation premiums and claim amounts and unemployment insurance premiums and claim amounts, the Company
will establish separate bank account(s) for Company employees and LMINT employees, which accounts will be funded by the Company on a bi-weekly basis for the next succeeding pay period with
the amounts due for payroll amounts for Company and LMINT employees, and the Provider will have access to such accounts for the purposes of directing payments to employees and deducting required
withholding amounts for remittance to applicable governmental agencies; provided, however, that payments for worker's compensation premiums and unemployment insurance premiums will be paid from such
accounts by check by the Company, as directed by the Provider. 

        2.2.    Determination of Company's Share of Costs    The Company's share of Provider's costs under Section 2.1
will be determined as follows: 

        (a)   For
amounts paid to a third party for the administration of any employee welfare benefit plan under Section 2.1(b)(i) above, the actual amount paid by the
Provider for each covered Company and LMINT employee; 

        (b)   For

for each covered Company and LMINT employee. 

        (g)   The
"Company Percentage" is a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of Company employees and LMINT employees covered under the applicable employee benefit
plan as of the last day of each month, and the denominator of which will be the total number of Company, LMINT, and Provider employees covered under such plan as of such date. 

        (h)   For

Non-Exclusive Employees based on an allocated portion of the personnel costs and expenses that are incurred by the Company (including pursuant to services agreements with third parties)
with respect to the Non-Exclusive Employees providing such services (the "Allocated Employee Expenses"). Such personnel costs and expenses will be based on 115% of the annual wage or base
salary of the applicable Non-Exclusive Employee (the "Annual Employee Expense") and will be allocated to Provider on the basis of either an hourly rate (determined by dividing the Annual
Employee Expense by 2,080) for the number of hours of service provided by the Non-Exclusive Employee or the anticipated percentage of usage of the services of the Non-Exclusive
Employee, as agreed by the Company and Provider in connection with any request for services. The Company and Provider will review and evaluate the Allocated Employee Expenses for reasonableness
semi-annually and will negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on any appropriate adjustment to such Allocated Employee

Expenses
based on such review and evaluation, including agreeing on the appropriate effective date (which may be retroactive) of such adjustment, to take into account changes in the Annual Employee
Expense and in hours or percentage of usage. 

        2.4.    Payment Procedures.    

        (a)   Any
payment to be made by the Company to the Provider pursuant to Section 2.2 will be paid by the Company to the Provider within 30 days after receipt by
the Company of any invoice therefore, by wire or interbank transfer of funds or in such other manner specified by the Provider to the Company. The Provider will invoice the Company monthly for
services provided by the Provider under Section 2.1 during the preceding calendar month. Any invoice or statement pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) will be accompanied by supporting
documentation in reasonable detail with respect to the actual costs or expenses incurred by the Provider for which the Provider is entitled to payment. Each invoice will provide details regarding the
breakdown of costs between the Company employees and LMINT employees. 

        (b)   Any

        3.1.    Term Generally.    The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue until

the same controlled group of corporations or the same controlled group of trades or businesses, as such terms are defined in Sections 414(b) and (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Provider or LMINT outstanding immediately prior thereto).

which Provider provides benefits and administrative services under this Agreement and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, will be responsible for the employment and training of all Company

federal, state and local withholding taxes on the U.S. compensation of all Company and LMINT employees and other U.S. employment-related taxes as agent of the Company and LMINT, subject to

(but excluding the Provider), and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, and employees, and the successors and assigns of any of them (collectively, the
"Company Indemnitees"), from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs, damages, or expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, disbursements, and court costs ("Losses"),
that any Company Indemnitee may suffer arising from or out of, or relating to, (a) any breach by Provider of its obligations under this Agreement, (b) the negligence, willful misconduct,
fraud, or bad faith of Provider in performing its obligations under this Agreement, or (c) any act or omission of the Company in providing the services of the Non-Exclusive
Employees to be provided by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to any breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement or are
attributable to the negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith of the Company in performing its obligations under this Agreement). 

        6.2.    Indemnification by the Company.    The Company will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Provider, its
Affiliates (but excluding the Company), and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, and employees, and the successors and assigns of any of them (collectively,
the "Provider Indemnitees"), from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs, damages, or expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, disbursements, and court costs
("Losses"), that any Provider Indemnitee may suffer arising from or out of, or relating to, (a) any breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, (b) the negligence,
willful misconduct, fraud, or bad faith of Company in performing its obligations under this Agreement, or (c) any act or omission of Provider in providing the services to be provided by
Provider pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to any breach by Provider of its obligations under this Agreement or are attributable to the negligence,
willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith of Provider in performing its obligations under this Agreement) 

        6.3.    Indemnification Procedures.    

        (a)   In
connection with any indemnification provided for in this Section 6, the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee") will give the party from which
indemnification is sought (the "Indemnitor") prompt notice whenever it comes to the Indemnitee's attention that the Indemnitee has suffered or incurred, or may suffer or incur, any Losses for which it
is entitled to 

7

 

indemnification
under this Section 6, and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim (in reasonable detail). Failure by the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor will not
relieve the Indemnitor of any liability under this Agreement except to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnitor in any material respect. 

        (b)   After
receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 6.3(a), the Indemnitor will be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation with
respect to such claim and to employ and engage attorneys reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to handle and defend such claim, at the Indemnitor's cost, risk, and expense, upon written notice to
the Indemnitee of such election, which notice acknowledges the Indemnitor's obligation to provide indemnification under this Agreement. The Indemnitor will not settle any third-party claim that is the
subject of indemnification without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that the Indemnitor may settle a
claim without the Indemnitee's consent if such settlement (i) makes no admission or acknowledgment of liability or culpability with respect to the Indemnitee, (ii) includes a complete
release of the Indemnitee, and (iii) does not require the Indemnitee to make any payment not covered by indemnification by the Indemnitor hereunder or forego or take any action. The Indemnitee
will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnitor and its attorneys in the investigation, trial, and defense of any lawsuit or action with respect to such claim and any appeal arising
therefrom (including the filing in the Indemnitee's name of appropriate cross claims and counterclaims). The Indemnitee may, at its own cost, participate in any investigation, trial, and defense of
such lawsuit or action controlled by the Indemnitor and any appeal arising therefrom. If there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that conflict with those available to, or that
are not available to, the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee will have the right, at the expense of the Indemnitor, to engage separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor and to participate in the
defense of the lawsuit or action. 

        (c)   If,
after receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 6.3(a), the Indemnitor does not undertake to defend any such claim, the Indemnitee may, but will have no
obligation to, contest any lawsuit or action with respect to such claim, and the Indemnitor will be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee may not settle
any lawsuit or action with respect to which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or
conditioned. 

        (d)   At
any time after the commencement of defense of any lawsuit or action, the Indemnitor may request the Indemnitee to agree in writing to the abandonment of such contest
or to the payment or compromise by the Indemnitor of such claim, whereupon such action will be taken unless the Indemnitee determines that the contest should be continued and so notifies the
Indemnitor in writing within 15 days of such request from the Indemnitor. Any request from the Indemnitor that any contest be abandoned will specify the amount that the other party or parties
to the contested claim have agreed to accept in payment or compromise of the claim. If the Indemnitee determines that the contest should be continued, the Indemnitor will be liable under this
Agreement only to the extent of the lesser of (i) the amount that the other party or parties to the contested claim had agreed to accept in payment or compromise as of the time the Indemnitor
made its request therefor to the Indemnitee, as specified in the Indemnitor's request, or (ii) the amount for which the Indemnitor may be liable with respect to such claim by reason of the
provisions of this Agreement. 

        6.4.    Limitation on Liability.    In no event will any Indemnitor be liable to any Indemnitee for any indirect,
special, incidental, or consequential damages with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement. 

8

 

        6.5.    Survival.    The terms and conditions of this Section 6 will survive the expiration or termination of
this Agreement, regardless of the reason for such expiration or termination. 

SECTION
7    MISCELLANEOUS

hereof will be considered severable. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not impair the operation
of or affect the enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

        7.13.    Force Majeure.    Provider will not be liable to the Company with respect to any nonperformance or delay in

an adequate remedy at law exists.

not settled by agreement of the parties will be submitted to binding arbitration under the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration
proceedings will be held in Denver, Colorado, or such other location as is agreed to by the parties. The parties to the arbitration may agree on an arbitrator; otherwise, there will be a panel of
three arbitrators, one named in writing by each party within 20 days after either party serves a notice of arbitration and the third arbitrator named by the two arbitrators named by the
parties. No person who 

10

 

is
financially interested in this Agreement or in either party may serve as an arbitrator. The costs of the arbitration and the fees of the arbitrator or arbitrators will be borne by the parties
equally. The decision of the arbitrator or arbitrators will be final and conclusive and binding on both parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

        7.16.    Confidentiality.    

        (a)    Definition.    "Confidential Information" means any information marked, noticed, or treated as confidential by
a party which such party holds in confidence, including all trade secret, technical, business, or other information, including customer or client information, however communicated or disclosed,
relating to past, present and future research, development and business activities. 

        (b)    Obligations.    Except with the prior consent of the disclosing party, each party will: 

	(i)
	limit
access to the Confidential Information to its employees, agents, representatives, and consultants who have a need-to-know;

	(ii)
	advise
its employees, agents, representatives, and consultants having access to the Confidential Information of the proprietary nature thereof and of the obligations
set forth in this Agreement; and

	(iii)
	safeguard
the Confidential Information by using a reasonable degree of care to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information to third parties, but not less than
that degree of care used by that party in safeguarding its own similar information or material. 

        (c)    Exceptions to Confidentiality.    A party's obligations respecting confidentiality under Section 7.16
will not apply to any of the Confidential Information of the other party that a party can demonstrate: (i) was, at the time of disclosure to it, in the public domain; (ii) after
disclosure to it, is published or otherwise becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the recipient; (iii) was in the possession of the recipient at the time of disclosure to it
without being subject to any obligation of confidentiality; (iv) was received after disclosure to it from a third party who, to its knowledge, had a lawful right to disclose such information to
it; (v) was independently developed by the recipient without reference to the Confidential Information; (vi) was required to be disclosed to any regulatory body having jurisdiction over
a party or any of their respective clients; or (vii) that disclosure is necessary by reason of legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the recipient. In
the case of any disclosure pursuant to clauses (vi) or (vii) of this paragraph (c), to the extent practical, the recipient will give prior notice to the disclosing party of the
required disclosure and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order covering such disclosure. 

        (d)    Survival.    The provisions of this Section 7.16 will survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement, regardless of the reason for such expiration or termination.

SERVICES AGREEMENT

APPENDIX A DefinitionsFiled by Automated Filing Services Inc. (604) 609-0244 - K-Tronik International Corp. - Exhibit 10.1

ACQUISITION OF NEW SUBSIDIARY NOT PROCEEDING

Hackensack, New Jersey, November 5, 2004/ - K-Tronik International Corp. (“K-Tronik”)
  (OTCBB: KTRK) will not be proceeding with its agreement (the “Dacos Agreement”)
  to acquire 100% of Dacos Technologies, Inc. (the “Target”), a South
  Korean company. 

As a condition of closing, the Target was expected to achieve certain sales
  and profit targets. It has recently been determined that the targets will not
  be achieved and, as a result, K-Tronik is not proceeding with the acquisition.
  No funds or deposit were made in connection with this proposed acquisition and
  the finder’s fee called for as part of this acquisition was conditional
  upon closing.

K-Tronik is continuing to focus on the growth of its core business: sales of
  energy technology products.

 

  The management of the company, who take full responsibility for its content,
  prepared this press release. This press release contains forward-looking statements
  relating to future events and results that are based on K-Tronik's current expectations.
  These statements involve risks and uncertainties including, without limitation,
  K-Tronik's ability to successfully develop and market its products, consumer
  acceptance of such products, competitive pressures relating to price reductions,
  new product introductions by third parties, technological innovations, and overall
  market conditions. Consequently, actual events and results in future periods
  may differ materially from those currently expected.
