If the full Performance Measurement for the 2013 fiscal year is not met, then the Executive’s base salary increase for 2014

2015, Executive’s base salary shall be increased to $500,000 per annum through December 31, 2015. If the full Performance
Measurement for the 2014 fiscal year is not met, then the Executive’s base salary increase for 2015 will be determined by

Salary") so long as i) the salary is not lowered, and ii) the salary is comparable to other CEO salaries for like size publicly
traded companies. Such Base Salary shall be payable in installments consistent with the Company’s normal payroll schedule,

of both; provided, however, that such Bonus on a fiscal year basis shall not be more than fifty (50%) percent of
Executive’s Base Salary at the end of the calendar year. Such Bonuses, if any, shall be determined based on the Board’s

Company may from time to time adopt, and subject to all rules of regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable
thereto. The number and type of Equity Awards, and the terms and conditions thereof, shall be determined by the Board or committee
thereof, in its discretion and pursuant to the plan or arrangement pursuant to which they are granted. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control during the Term of Employment, all Options granted to Executive
as shall immediately vest and be exercisable.

 

(d)                        Other
Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to three (3) weeks of paid vacation days during each year of the Term of Employment,
to be taken at such times as the Executive and the Company shall mutually determine and provided that no vacation time shall significantly
interfere with the duties required to be rendered by the Executive hereunder. Any vacation time not taken by Executive during any
calendar year may be carried forward into any succeeding calendar year.

 

In addition, in the event that the
Company requires that Executive relocate to a Company location in excess of fifty (50) miles from Executive’s current home,
the Company will reimburse Executive up to a maximum of $20,000 in documented relocation expenses.

 

The Executive shall receive such additional
benefits, if any, as the Board shall from time to time determine.

Company by reason of the Executive’s Disability, (iii) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, (iv) a termination

(b)                        Termination
by Company for Cause. The Company shall at all times have the right, upon written notice to the Executive, to terminate
the Term of Employment for Cause. For purposes of this Section 6(b), any good faith determination by the Board of Cause shall be
binding and conclusive on all interested parties. In the event that the Term of Employment is terminated by the Company for Cause,
the Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations, payable within a reasonable period following the Termination Date.

Options granted to Executive herein and any other options granted to Executive to purchase the Company’s common stock prior
to after the date of this Agreement shall immediately vest and be exercisable for a period of nine (9)
months from the date of the termination; provided, however, such period of nine (9) months shall not exceed the earlier
of the latest date upon which such options could have expired by their original terms under any circumstances or the tenth anniversary
of the original date of grant of such options.

 

(d)                         Death.
In the event that the Term of Employment is terminated due to the Executive’s death, the estate of the Executive shall be

(e)                         Termination
Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Term of Employment at any time without Cause, by written notice to the Executive.
In the event that the Term of Employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than due to the Executive’s death

(i)          Accrued
Obligations, payable as soon as reasonably practicable following the Termination Date;

(iv)        continuation
of the health benefits provided to the Executive and his covered dependents under the Company health plans as in effect from time
to time after the date of such termination with the Company paying all premiums until the earlier of: (A) the end of the Severance
Term, or (B) the date the Executive commences employment with any person or entity and, thus, is eligible for health insurance
benefits; provided, however, that as a condition of continuation of such benefits, the Company may require the Executive
to elect to continue his health insurance pursuant to COBRA; and

 

(v)         all
Options granted to Executive as described herein and any other options granted to Executive to purchase the Company’s common
stock prior to after the date of this Agreement shall immediately vest and be exercisable for a period of nine (9) months from
the date of the termination; provided, however, such period of nine (9) months shall not exceed the earlier of the latest date
upon which such options could have expired by their original terms under any circumstances or the tenth anniversary of the original
date of grant of such options.

 

(f)                        Termination
by Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate the Term of Employment for Good Reason by providing the Company
thirty (30) days’ written notice setting forth in reasonable specificity the event that constitutes Good Reason, which written
notice, to be effective, must be provided to the Company within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such event. During such thirty
(30) day notice period, the Company shall have a cure right (if curable), and if not cured within such period, the Executive’s
termination shall be effective upon the date immediately following the expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period, and the
Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 6(e) above for a termination without Cause.

 

(g)                        Termination
by Executive Without Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment without Good Reason by providing the Company
thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. In the event of a termination of employment by the Executive under
this Section 6(g), the Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. In the event of termination of the Executive’s
employment under this Section 6(g), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice, accelerate such date
of termination and still have it treated as a termination without Good Reason.

 

 

    	- 10 -

    	 

     

(h)                        Termination
Upon Expiration Date. In the event that Executive’s employment with the Company terminates upon the expiration of
the Term of Employment, either because the Executive refused to extend the Term of Employment without Good Reason (and other than
by reason of the Executive’s Death or Disability), or the Company refused to extend the Term for Cause, the Executive shall
be entitled to only the Accrued Obligations, payable within a reasonable period following the Termination Date. In the event that
the Term of Employment terminates either because the Company refused to extend the Term of Employment without Cause (and other
than by reason of the Executive’s Death or Disability), or the Executive refused to extend the Term for Good Reason, the
Company shall pay the Executive:

 

(i)          the
Accrued Obligations, payable as soon as practicable following the Termination Date;

 

(ii)         the
Termination Year Bonus, payable within 2 1/2 months after the last day of the Bonus Period in which the Termination Date occurs;

 

(iii)        the
Severance Amount, payable in equal monthly installments during the Severance Term;

 

(iv)        continuation
of the health benefits provided to the Executive and his covered dependants under the Company health plans as in effect from time
to time after the date of such termination until the earlier of: (A) twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, or (B)
the date the Executive commences employment with any person or entity and, thus, is eligible for health insurance benefits; provided,
however, that as a condition of continuation of such benefits, the Company may require the Executive to elect to continue his health
insurance pursuant to COBRA; and

 

(v)         all
Options granted to Executive as described herein and any other options granted to Executive to purchase the Company’s common
stock prior to after the date of this Agreement shall immediately vest and be exercisable for a period
of nine (9) months from the date of the termination; provided, however, such period of nine (9) months shall not exceed the earlier
of the latest date upon which such options could have expired by their original terms under any circumstances or the tenth anniversary
of the original date of grant of such options.

 

(i)                        Section
280G Additional Payments by the Company. 

 

(i)          Anything
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Executive shall become entitled
to payments and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” (whether
pursuant to the terms of any plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership
or effective control covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such change in ownership or effective control (collectively,
the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”)
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority), the Company shall
pay to the Executive at the time specified in clause (iv) hereof an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”)
such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Company Payments and any U.S. federal,
state, and local income or payroll tax upon the Gross-Up Payment provided for by this clause (i), but before deduction for any
U.S. federal, state, and local income or payroll tax on the Company Payments, shall be equal to the Company Payment.

 

 

    	- 11 -

    	 

     

(ii)         For
purposes of determining whether any of the Company Payments and Gross-Up Payment (collectively, the “Total Payments”)
will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (A) the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute
payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the
“base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless
and except to the extent that, in the opinion of the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to
any change in ownership (as described in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) or tax counsel selected by such accountants or the Company
(the “Accountants”) such Total Payments (in whole or in part): (1) do not constitute “parachute payments,”
(2) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess
of the “base amount” or (3) are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (B) the value of any non-cash benefits
or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of
the Code. In the event that the Accountants are serving as accountants or auditors for the individual, entity or group effecting
the change in control (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized
accounting firm to make the determinations hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the “Accountants”
hereunder). All determinations hereunder shall be made by the Accountants which shall provide detailed supporting calculations
both to the Company and the Executive at such time as it is requested by the Company or the Executive. The determination of the
Accountants shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Executive.

 

(iii)        For
purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay U.S. federal income taxes at the
highest marginal rate of U.S. federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state
and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence for
the calendar year in which the Company Payments are to be made, net of the maximum reduction in U.S. federal income taxes which
could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes if paid in such year. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently
determined by the Accountants to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made,
the Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the
portion of the prior Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to
the Excise Tax and U.S. federal, state and local income tax imposed on the portion of the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the
Executive if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax or a U.S. federal, state and local income tax deduction), plus
interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that any portion of the Gross-Up Payment to be refunded to the Company has been paid to any U.S. federal, state and
local tax authority, repayment thereof (and related amounts) shall not be required until actual refund or credit of such portion
has been made to the Executive, and interest payable to the Company shall not exceed the interest received or credited to the Executive
by such tax authority for the period it held such portion. The Executive and the Company shall mutually agree upon the course of
action to be pursued (and the method of allocating the expense thereof) if the Executive’s claim for refund or credit is
denied. In the event that the Excise Tax is later determined by the Accountants or the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing
authority) to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-Up Payment is made (including by reason of any
payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional
Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest or penalties payable with respect to such excess) promptly after
the amount of such excess is finally determined.

 

 

    	- 12 -

    	 

     

(iv)        The
Gross-Up Payment or portion thereof provided for in clause (iii) shall be paid not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following
an event occurring which subjects the Executive to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such
Gross-Up Payment or portion thereof cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Executive
on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Accountants, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the
remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code), subject to further
payments pursuant to clause (iii), as soon as the amount thereof can reasonably be determined, but in no event later than the ninetieth
(90th) day after the occurrence of the event subjecting the Executive to the Excise Tax. Subject to clauses (iii) and (viii) hereof,
in the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess
shall constitute a loan by the Company to the Executive, payable on the fifth (5th) day after demand by the Company (together with
interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).

 

(v)         In
the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with regard to the Excise Tax, the Executive
shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at the Company’s expense), provided that such issues
do not potentially materially adversely affect the Executive, but the Executive shall control any other issues. In the event that
the issues are interrelated, the Executive and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of
either issue, but if the parties cannot agree, the Executive shall make the final determination with regard to the issues. In the
event of any conference with any taxing authority as to the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, the Executive shall permit the
representative of the Company to accompany the Executive, and the Executive and the Executive’s representative shall cooperate
with the Company and its Representatives.

 

(vi)        The
Company shall be responsible for all charges of the Accountants.

 

 

    	- 13 -

    	 

     

(vii)       The
Company and the Executive shall promptly deliver to each other copies of any written communications, and summaries of any verbal
communications, with any taxing authority regarding the Excise Tax covered by this Section 6(i).

 

(viii)      Nothing
in this Section 6(i) is intended to violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and to the extent that any advance or repayment obligation
hereunder would do so, such obligation shall be modified so as to make the advance a nonrefundable payment to the Executive and
the repayment obligation null and void. The provisions of this Section 6(i) shall survive the termination of the Executive’s
employment with the Company for any reason.

 

(j)                        Cooperation.
Following the Term of Employment, the Executive shall give his assistance and cooperation willingly, upon reasonable advance notice
with due consideration for his other business or personal commitments, in any matter relating to his position with the Company,
or his expertise or experience as the Company or any Related Entity may reasonably request, including his attendance and truthful
testimony where deemed appropriate by the Company or any Related Entity, with respect to any investigation or the Company’s
or any Related Entity’s defense or prosecution of any existing or future claims or litigations or other proceedings relating
to matters in which he was involved or potentially had knowledge by virtue of his employment with the Company. In no event shall
his cooperation materially interfere with his services for a subsequent employer or other similar service recipient. To the extent
permitted by law, the Company agrees that (i) it shall promptly reimburse the Executive for his reasonable and documented expenses
in connection with his rendering assistance and/or cooperation under this Section 6(j) upon his presentation of documentation for
such expenses and (ii) the Executive shall be reasonably compensated for any continued material services as required under this
Section 6(j).

 

(k)                        Section
409A.

 

(i)          The
intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the
regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum
extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. If the Executive notifies the Company (with
specificity as to the reason therefore) that the Executive believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation,
including equity compensation or benefits) would cause the Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section
409A, the Company shall, after consulting with the Executive, reform such provision to try to comply with Code Section 409A through
good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any
provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall,
to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the Executive and the Company of
the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

 

(ii)         Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified
employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision
of any benefit that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A and becomes payable by reason of the Executive’s
separation from service, such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided (subject to the last sentence of this Section 6(k)(ii))
prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s “separation
from service” (as such term is defined under Code Section 409A), and (ii) the date of Executive’s death (the “Delay
Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 6(k)(ii) (whether
they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed
to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance
with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

7.                        Taxes.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be made by the Company hereunder to the Executive
or his estate or beneficiaries shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts relating to taxes as the Company may reasonably
determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. In lieu of withholding such amounts, in whole or in
part, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accept other provisions for payment of taxes and withholding as required by law,
provided it is satisfied that all requirements of law affecting its responsibilities to withhold have been satisfied.

 

8.                        Assignment.
The Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to
any corporation or other entity with or into which the Company may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may transfer
all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said corporation or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly
in writing assume all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not
otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement
or any rights or obligations hereunder.

 

9.                      Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

10.    
     Arbitration.

 

(a)          Exclusive
Remedy. The parties recognize that litigation in federal or state courts or before federal or state administrative agencies
of disputes arising out of the Executive’s employment with the Company or out of this Agreement, or the Executive’s
termination of employment or termination of this Agreement, may not be in the best interests of either the Executive or the Company,
and may result in unnecessary costs, delays, complexities, and uncertainty. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11 hereof,
the parties agree that any dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to the Executive’s employment, or to the
negotiation, execution, performance or termination of this Agreement or the Executive’s employment, including, but not limited
to, any claim arising out of this Agreement, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Civil Rights
Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section 1981 of the
Civil Rights Act of 1966, as amended, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Executive Retirement Income Security Act, and any similar
federal, state or local law, statute, regulation, or any common law doctrine, whether that dispute arises during or after employment
shall be resolved by arbitration in the New York, New York area, in accordance with the National Employment Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association, as modified by the provisions of this Section 10. The parties each further agree that the
arbitration provisions of this Agreement shall provide each party with its exclusive remedy, and each party expressly waives any
right it might have to seek redress in any other forum, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge
and agree that their obligations under this arbitration agreement survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and continue
after the termination of the employment relationship between the Executive and the Company. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 11 hereof, by election of arbitration as the means for final settlement of all claims, the parties hereby waive their respective
rights to, and agree not to, sue each other in any action in a federal, state or local court with respect to such claims, but may
seek to enforce in court an arbitration award rendered pursuant to this Agreement. The parties specifically agree to waive their
respective rights to a trial by jury, and further agree that no demand, request or motion will be made for trial by jury.

 

(b)          Arbitration
Procedure and Arbitrator’s Authority. In the arbitration proceeding, each party shall be entitled to engage in any
type of discovery permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to retain its own counsel, to present evidence and cross-examine
witnesses, to purchase a stenographic record of the proceedings, and to submit post-hearing briefs. In reaching his/her decision,
the arbitrator shall have no authority to add to, detract from, or otherwise modify any provision of this Agreement. The arbitrator
shall submit with the award a written opinion which shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction.

 

(c)          Effect
of Arbitrator’s Decision; Arbitrator’s Fees. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding between
the parties as to all claims which were or could have been raised in connection with the dispute, to the full extent permitted
by law. In all cases in which applicable federal law precludes a waiver of judicial remedies, the parties agree that the decision
of the arbitrator shall be a condition precedent to the institution or maintenance of any legal, equitable, administrative, or
other formal proceeding by the Executive in connection with the dispute, and that the decision and opinion of the arbitrator may
be presented in any other forum on the merits of the dispute. If the arbitrator finds that the Executive was terminated in violation
of law or this Agreement, the parties agree that the arbitrator acting hereunder shall be empowered to provide the Executive with
any remedy available should the matter have been tried in a court, including equitable and/or legal remedies, compensatory damages
and back pay. The arbitrator’s fees and expenses and all administrative fees and expenses associated with the filing of the
arbitration shall be borne by the non-prevailing party.

11.      
   Restrictive Covenants.

 

(a)          Executive
recognizes and acknowledges that the Company, Related Entities and their subsidiaries, through the expenditure of considerable
time and money, have developed and will continue to develop in the Confidential Information. In consideration of his continued
employment by the Company hereunder, Executive agrees that he will not, during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly, make
any disclosure of Confidential Information now or hereafter possessed by the Company, Related Entities, and/or any of their current
or future, direct or indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group"), to any person, partnership, corporation or entity
either during or after the term hereunder, except to employees of the Group and to others within or without the Group, as Executive
may deem necessary in order to conduct the Group's business and except as may be required pursuant to any court order, judgment
or decision from any court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing shall not apply to information which is in the public domain
on the date hereof; which, after it is disclosed to Executive by the Group, is published or becomes part of the public domain through
no fault of Executive; which is known to Executive prior to disclosure thereof to him by the Group as evidenced by his written
records; or, after Executive is no longer employed by the Group, which is thereafter disclosed to Executive in good faith by a
third party which is not under any obligation of confidence or secrecy to the Group with respect to such information at the time
of disclosure to him. The provisions of this Section 6 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding termination of Executive's
employment under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

(b)          Executive
agrees that if the Company has made and is continuing to make all required payments to him upon and after termination of his employment,
then during the Restricted Period, Executive shall neither directly and/or indirectly (a) solicit, hire and/or contact any prior
(within twelve (12) months) or then current employee of the Company and/or Related Entities nor any of their respective direct
and/or indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "Applicable Entities"), nor (b) solicit any business with any prior (within
twelve (12) months of termination) or then current customer and/or client of the Applicable Entities. In addition, Executive shall
not attempt (directly and/or indirectly) to do anything either by himself or through others that he is prohibited from doing pursuant
to this Section 11. Given that this Agreement is providing significant benefits to Executive, Executive hereby agrees that during
the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of the Board, he will not, directly or indirectly, either as principal,
manager, agent, consultant, officer, director, stockholder, partner, investor, lender or employee or in any other capacity, carry
on, be engaged in or have any financial interest in, any business which is in competition with any business of the Applicable Entities.
For purposes of this section, a business shall be deemed to be in competition with any business of the Applicable Entities if it
is materially involved in the purchase, sale or other dealing in any property or the rendering of any service purchased, sold,
dealt in or rendered by any member of the Applicable Entities within the same geographic area in which such member of the Applicable
Entities effects such purchases, sales or dealings or renders such services; provided, however, that for the period commencing
with the termination of Executive's employment, a business shall be deemed to be in competition with any business of the Applicable
Entities only if it is materially involved in the retail brokerage business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be
allowed to make passive investments in publicly held competitive businesses as long as his ownership is less than 5% of such business.

(c)          The
Executive and the Company agree that at all times during the Term of Employment and for a period of five years from and after the
expiration or termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, neither the
Executive nor the Company will make, publish or communicate at any time to any person or entity, including but not limited to any
client or other entity or person for which the Company provides or provided at any relevant time any advertising or marketing or
other services or goods, any Disparaging (defined below) remarks, comments or statements concerning the other (or, in the case
of the Company, any of its directors, managers, officers, partners, members or employees).  The previous sentence shall not
apply, however, in the case of any remarks, comments or statements which are made (i) in testimony pursuant to a court order, subpoena,
or legal process, (ii) in discussions with any regulator or government agency, (iii) to a court, mediator or arbitrator in connection
with any litigation or dispute between the Executive and the Company, or (iv) privately in the course of the Company’s supervision
or review of the Executive’s job performance.  “Disparaging” remarks, comments or statements are
those that impugn the character, honesty, integrity, morality, business acumen or abilities of the individual or entity being disparaged
or that would adversely effect in any manner the conduct of the business or the business reputation of such individual or entity.

 

(d)          Executive
acknowledges that the restrictive covenants (the "Restrictive Covenants") contained in this Section 11 are a condition
of his continued employment and are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects. If any court
determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part of any of the Restrictive Covenants, is invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants and parts thereof shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without
regard to the invalid portion. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or
unenforceable because of the geographic or temporal scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the geographic
or temporal scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable. If
Executive breaches, or threatens to breach, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company, in addition to and not in lieu of any
other rights and remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall have the right to injunctive relief; it being acknowledged and
agreed to by Executive that any such breach or threatened breach would cause irreparable and continuing injury to the Company and
that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.

 

12.     
    Entire Agreement. 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 Executive 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
Executive.

 

13.     
    Survival. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive
any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, including without limitation, the Company’s obligations under
Section 6, and the expiration of the Term of Employment, to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and
obligations.

 

14.     
    Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be personally delivered by courier or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested addressed as set
forth herein. Notices personally delivered or sent by overnight courier shall be deemed given on the date of delivery and notices
mailed in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed given upon the earlier of receipt by the addressee, as evidenced by the
return receipt thereof, or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mail. Notice shall be sent (i) if to the Company, addressed
to BeesFree, Inc., 2101 Vista Parkway, Suite 122, West Palm Beach, FL 33411, and (ii) if to the Executive, to his address as reflected
on the payroll records of the Company, or to such other address as either party shall request by notice to the other in accordance
with this provision.

 

    	- 18 -

    	 

     

15.      
   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 permitted and
applicable, assigns, including, without limitation, any successor to the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of stock,
sale of assets or otherwise.

 

16.      
   Right to Consult with Counsel; No Drafting Party. The Executive acknowledges having read
and considered all of the provisions of this Agreement carefully, and having had the opportunity to consult with counsel of his
own choosing, and, given this, the Executive agrees that the obligations created hereby are not unreasonable. The Executive acknowledges
that he has had an opportunity to negotiate any and all of these provisions and no rule of construction shall be used that would
interpret any provision in favor of or against a party on the basis of who drafted the Agreement.

 

17.    
     Severability. The invalidity of any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences,
clauses, provisions, sections or articles contained in this 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, and, in the event that
any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses, provisions, sections or articles contained in this Agreement shall be
declared invalid, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid word or words, phrase or phrases, sentence or sentences,
clause or clauses, provisions or provisions, section or sections or article or articles had not been inserted. If such invalidity
is caused by length of time or size of area, or both, the otherwise invalid provision will be considered to be reduced to a period
or area which would cure such invalidity.

 

18.    
     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.

 

19.    
     No Mitigation. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment
or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

20.    
     Section Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

21.   
      No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement
is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any person other than the Company, the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason
of this Agreement.

 

22.  
       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument and agreement.

23.  
       Indemnification.

 

(a)          Subject
to limitations imposed by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by law
from and against any and all claims, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines,
settlements, and all other liabilities incurred or paid by him in connection with the investigation, defense, prosecution, settlement
or appeal of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
and to which the Executive was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that the Executive is or
was an officer, Executive or agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Executive in any such capacity
or capacities, provided that the Executive acted in good faith, in a manner that was not grossly negligent or constituted willful
misconduct and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Company also shall pay any
and all expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Executive as a result of the Executive being called
as a witness in connection with any matter involving the Company and/or any of its officers or directors.

 

(b)          The
Company shall pay any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and other
liabilities incurred by the Executive in investigating, defending, settling or appealing any action, suit or proceeding described
in this Section 23 in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. The Company shall promptly pay the amount
of such expenses to the Executive, but in no event later than 10 days following the Executive’s delivery to the Company of
a written request for an advance pursuant to this Section 23, together with a reasonable accounting of such expenses.

 

(c)          The
Executive hereby undertakes and agrees to repay to the Company any advances made pursuant to this Section 24 if and to the extent
that it shall ultimately be found that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such amounts.

 

(d)          The
Company shall make the advances contemplated by this Section 23 regardless of the Executive’s financial ability to make repayment,
and regardless whether indemnification of the Indemnitee by the Company will ultimately be required. Any advances and undertakings
to repay pursuant to this Section 23 shall be unsecured and interest-free.

 

(e)          The
provisions of this Section 23 shall survive the termination of the Term of Employment or expiration of the term of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

 

FORM OF RELEASE

 

I, DAVID W. TODHUNTER,
on behalf of myself and my heirs, successors and assigns, in consideration of the performance by BeesFree, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(together with its Subsidiaries, the “Company”), of its material obligations under the Employment Agreement,
dated as of _________, 2012 (the “Agreement”), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof
the Company, its Affiliates, each such Person’s respective successors and assigns and each of the foregoing Persons’
respective present and former directors, officers, partners, stockholders, members, managers, agents, representatives, employees
(and each such Person’s respective successors and assigns) (collectively, the “Released Parties”) to the
extent provided below.

 

1.          I
understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Section 6 of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration
for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree
that I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Section 6 of the Agreement unless I execute this General
Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release.

 

2.          I
knowingly and voluntarily release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, controversies,
actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or
exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and
in equity, both past and present (through the date of this General Release), whether under the laws of the United States or another
jurisdiction and whether known or unknown, suspected or claimed against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my
spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, have or may have, which arise out of or are connected with my
employment with, or my separation from, the Company (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising
under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as amended; the Worker Adjustment
Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs;
the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights
law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or
under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach
of contract, infliction of emotional distress, or defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’
fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”); provided,
however, that nothing contained in this General Release shall apply to, or release the Company from, (i) any obligation of the
Company contained in the Agreement to be performed after the date hereof or (ii) any vested or accrued benefits pursuant to any
employee benefit plan, program or policy of the Company.

 

    	- 22 -

    	 

     

3.          I
represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by paragraph
2 above.

 

4.          I
agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from
employment with the Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action
(including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967).

 

5.          In
signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims
hereinabove mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according
to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding
any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims),
if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver
is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the
terms of the Agreement. I covenant that I shall not directly or indirectly, commence, maintain or prosecute or sue any of the Released
Persons either affirmatively or by way of cross-complaint, indemnity claim, defense or counterclaim or in any other manner or at
all on any Claim covered by this General Release. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against
the Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf,
this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims. I further agree that I am not aware of any pending charge
or complaint of the type described in paragraph 2 as of the execution of this General Release.

 

6.          I
agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed
at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.

 

7.          I
agree that this General Release is confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release,
except to my immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as
required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone.

 

8.          Any
non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry
about this General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA or any other
self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.

 

9.          Without
limitation of any provision of the Agreement, I hereby expressly re-affirm my obligations under Section 12 under the Agreement.

 

10.         Whenever
possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable
law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other
jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
