      shall not engage in any other outside business activities or serve as a director
      of any other corporation, entity or enterprise, except as set forth on the

    (c) Stock
      Options.
      Employee
      is hereby granted options to purchase shares of 3DIcon’s restricted common
      stock, which options shall vest and be fully exercisable on the dates and at
      the
      exercise prices set forth below, provided Employee is at the time of vesting
      an
      employee of 3DIcon:

    

      
        	
                On
                  the Commencement Date:

              	
                100,000
                  shares @ $.80/share;

              
	
                On
                  May 1, 2008:

              	
                200,000
                  shares @ $1.00/share; and

              
	
                On
                  May 1, 2009:

              	
                200,000
                  shares @ $1.50/share.

              

      

    

     

    The
      Option Agreement which Employee and 3DIcon shall execute in respect to this
      grant shall be submitted to Employee within two weeks following the Commencement
      date and shall be mutually acceptable to Employee and 3DIcon.

     

    Employee
      acknowledges that: apart from the fact that each of the exercise prices
      indicated is greater than the trading value of the common stock of 3DIcon on
      the
      date hereof, the grants of these options by 3DIcon do not represent a particular
      present or future value or percentage of the current or future outstanding
      shares of 3DIcon; and that 3DIcon is not in any manner restricted by this
      Employment Agreement from issuing more shares of its common stock, or other
      securities related thereto, from increasing the number of shares it is
      authorized to issue in a particular class of stock, or from increasing the
      number of classes of stock 3DIcon may issue.

     

    Employee
      further acknowledges and represents to 3DIcon that Employee may never receive
      the options with grant dates after the Commencement Date; that Employee is
      an
accredited
      investor
      under
      federal and state securities laws; that these options and the shares which
      may
      be purchased thereunder have not been registered with the Securities and
      Exchange Commission or any other agency or department of the United States’
Government or any state government; and that the shares purchased under the
      referenced options will be subject to restrictions on transfer, and will contain
      a restrictive legend to such effect. 

     

    (d) Benefits.
      Employee shall be eligible to participate, to the extent he may be eligible,
      in
      any group medical and hospitalization insurance, disability insurance, profit
      sharing, retirement, life insurance, and each other employee benefit plan or
      program maintained or later instituted by 3DIcon. Employee acknowledges that:
      (i) participation in 3DIcon benefit programs and plans may require payroll
      deductions and contributions from Employee; and (ii) such benefit programs
      and
      plans are subject to amendment and termination at the discretion of
      3DIcon.

     

    (e) Withholdings.
      All
      compensation payments to Employee shall be made subject to normal deductions
      therefrom, including federal and state social security and withholding
      taxes.

     

    3. Expenses.
      3DIcon
      shall promptly reimburse Employee for his actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred
      in carrying out his duties hereunder in the conduct of 3DIcon’s business, which
      expenses shall be limited to ordinary and customary items and which shall be
      supported by vouchers, receipts or similar documentation submitted in accordance
      with 3DIcon’s expense reimburse policy and as required by law. Until a formal
      written policy regarding reimbursement of business expenses is adopted, such
      expenses must be approved in writing in advance by the CEO in order to be
      reimbursable to Employee.

    4. Personal
      Time Off.
      During
      each calendar year of employment, Employee shall be entitled to twenty business
      days, in the aggregate, for vacation, sick leave and personal time off
      (collectively, “PTO”). Such PTO shall be deemed earned and usable on the first
      day of employment during the calendar year. PTO for calendar year 2007 shall
      be
      prorated from the Commencement Date. Employee shall be entitled to carry over
      up
      to one-half his unused PTO from any calendar year to the next calendar year;
      provided, that Employee shall not be paid for any PTO which has not been used
      as
      of the date of his voluntary or involuntary separation from employment for
      any
      reason.

      failed to meet any of its obligations hereunder:

     

    (a) Non-Use
      and Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.
      Employee acknowledges that, as a result of his employment by 3DIcon, he will
      be
      learning, making use of, and adding to, 3DIcon’s Confidential Information (as
      defined below). Except as required in the performance of Employee’s duties under
      this Agreement or except in those instances in which Employee reasonably
      determines, in good faith, that use or disclosure of Confidential Information
      is
      in the best interests of 3DIcon, Employee will not use or disclose to third
      parties, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information, either during
      his
      employment or after his termination of employment for any reason. In all
      instances when a disclosure by Employee of Confidential Information is
      contemplated, no such disclosure shall be made unless Employee obtains from
      the
      intended recipient of such information a Confidentiality Agreement in favor
      of
      3DIcon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee will be permitted to disclose
      any Confidential Information to the extent required by validly issued legal
      process or court order; provided, that not less than ten days before such
      disclosure is made, Employee shall notify 3DIcon in writing of the demand for
      disclosure.

     

    As

      program, device, method, technique or process, technology, hardware, software,
      intellectual property, ideas, inventions, enhancements or derivatives of the

      as such) licenses, contracts, customer and vendor lists, regardless of how
      stored or communicated, that: (i) derives independent economic value, actual
      or
      potential, in part from not being generally known to, and not being readily
      ascertainable by proper means, by other persons who can obtain economic value
      from its disclosure or use; (ii) is the subject of a contractual obligation
      of
      3DIcon to maintain its secrecy; (iii) is the subject of efforts that are
      reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy; (iv) is wholly
      or
      partly owned by, or is licensed to, or by, 3DIcon or its affiliates; or (v)
      is
      confidential, proprietary or competitively sensitive. For purposes of this
      Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes both information disclosed to
      Employee by 3DIcon or its affiliates and information developed by Employee
      in
      the course and as part
      of his
      employment with 3DIcon or any of its affiliates. The parties agree that as
      used
      herein, “Confidential Information” shall not include the following: (I)
      information that at the time of disclosure is in the public domain; (II)
      information that was in Employee’s possession at the time of disclosure and was
      not acquired, directly or indirectly, from 3DIcon or its affiliates; and (III)
      the information that corresponds in substance to information furnished to
      Employee by others as a matter of right without restriction on
      disclosure.

      Information include without limitation the following information that Employee
      knows or has reason to know that 3DIcon or its affiliates intends or expects
      the
      secrecy of such information to be maintained, and as to which 3DIcon or its

      disclosed to 3DIcon by third parties pursuant to license or confidentiality
      or
      non-disclosure agreements that contain restrictions upon the use or disclosure
      of such information. Employee agrees to abide by the restrictions upon use
      or
      disclosure contained in such agreements to the extent such restrictions do
      not
      conflict with this Agreement.

      occurrence of any of the following, which shall consitute “Good Reason.”.
For
      purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means: (I) any reduction by 3DIcon of

      (V) a “change of control”, defined for purposes of this Agreement as any of the
      following: (aa) the sale, lease or other disposition of all of substantially
      all

      an
      acquisition of DIcon by an entity not owned or controlled the management of
      3DIcon, whether by consolidation, merger or other reorganization (with the
      exception of a merger or consolidation effected solely to change the domicile
      of
      3DIcon), whereby more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting shares
      of 3DIcon are held by persons or entities which did not hold voting shares
      of
      3DIcon before said transaction. 3DIcon has been provided with written notice
      and
      not less than fifteen days opportunity to cure. In the event of a termination
      of
      Employee’s employment by him with Good Reason, 3DIcon shall pay to Employee, in
      a lump-sum within ten days of the date of termination, the Accrued Obligations.
      

     

       (c) Severance
      Pay.  3DIcon
      shall pay Employee severance pay only under the terms and conditions of this
      Section 7(c). 

     

    (i) In
      the
      event Employee separates from employment with 3DIcon by Employee’s voluntary
      notice under Section 7(iii) or by 3DIcon’s decision under Section 7(iv),
      Employee shall be entitled to no severance pay or benefits
      hereunder.

     

    (ii) In
      the
      event Employee separates from employment with 3DIcon under Sections 7(i) or
      7(ii), or by 3DIcon’s voluntary notice under Section 7(iii) or by Employee’s
      timely decision due to the actual occurrence of one or more of the grounds
      stated in Section 7(v), Employee shall, upon execution of 3DIcon’s standard form
      separation agreement (which includes but is not limited to a General Release
      of
      3DIcon and its officers, directors and agents, from any claims you might have
      against any of them), be entitled to severance pay hereunder as follows: during
      a period equal to the greater of the number of months remaining on the one-year
      employment Term then in effect or six months, 3DIcon shall pay Employee an
      amount per month, on 3DIcon’s regular paydays and subject to mandatory
      withholdings, equal to Employee’s regular monthly salary at the time of
      separation.

    8. Resignation
      From All Positions Upon Notice of Termination.
      In the
      event of the termination of Employee’s employment other than due to death,
      Employee hereby resigns from all other positions held by him with 3DIcon,
      including without limitation any position as a director, officer, agent, trustee
      or consultant of 3DIcon or any affiliate of 3DIcon, effective on the date of
      notice of termination of employment by 3DIcon or Employee. Neither stock
      ownership nor the holding of an office at 3DIcon shall constitute a right to
      employment hereunder.

     

    9. Covenant
      Against Competition.
      Employee acknowledges that the services he is to render are of a special and
      unusual character with a unique value to 3DIcon, the loss of which cannot
      adequately be compensated by damages in an action at law. In view of the unique
      value to 3DIcon of the services of Employee and because of the Confidential
      Information to be obtained by or disclosed to Employee, as set forth above,
      Employee covenants and agrees that during Employee’s employment and for a period
      of two years after termination of his employment for any reason, voluntarily
      or
      involuntarily, he will not, except as otherwise authorized by this Agreement,
      compete with 3DIcon or any affiliate of 3DIcon.

     

    For
      purposes of this Section 9: (i) the term “compete” means engaging (other than as
      a passive investor) in the business of three dimensional image capture,
      communication, transmission or display in a market which directly competes
      with
      the products, services or licenses offered by 3DIcon or its affiliates,
      including without limitation, as a proprietor, partner, active investor,
      shareholder, director, officer, employee, consultant, independent contractor,
      or
      otherwise; provided, that Employee may work for a branch or division of another
      entity so long as the employment responsibilities or activities of Employee
      do
      not compete with 3DIcon or its products, services or licenses. 

     

    10.
      D&O Insurance and Indemnification.
      3DIcon
      shall indemnify Employee, and hold him harmless, to the maximum extent permitted
      under law, if he is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
      threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
      criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the
      right of 3DIcon, solely by reason of the fact that Employee is or was a
      director, officer, employee or agent of 3DIcon, or is or was serving at the
      request of 3DIcon as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
      corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
      all
      expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
      settlement. In addition, 3DIcon will, within sixty days following the
      Commencement Date, secure comprehensive directors and officers’ liability
      insurance with a reputable company for the benefit of Employee.

      This
      Agreement may only be amended in a written agreement expressly stating that

    (i) Arbitration
      and Injunctive Relief by 3DIcon.
      In the
      event that any dispute arises among the parties hereto, all parties agree to
      waive their rights to alternative remedies and, by execution of this Agreement,
      each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits any differences or disputes
      existing among them which may arise hereunder to binding confidential private
      arbitration to be conducted before one arbitrator experienced in commercial
      matters (or otherwise acceptable to the parties) pursuant to the rules of the
      American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for the arbitration of commercial
      dispoutes, in accordance with the comprehensive rules and procedures of AAA,
      including the internal appeal process provided for in Rule 34 of the AAA rules
      with respect to any initial judgment rendered in an arbitration. Any such
      arbitration proceeding shall take place in Tulsa, Oklahoma before a single
      arbitrator (rather than a panel of arbitrators). All such controversies, claims
      or disputes shall be settled in this matter in lieu of any action at law or
      equity; provided,
      however,
      that
      nothing in this section shall be construed as precluding 3DIcon from bringing
      a
      claim for injunctive relief or other equitable relief. The parties agree that
      the arbitrator shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary
      damages and waive, to the full extent permitted by law, any right to recover
      such damages in such arbitration. Each party shall each bear their respective
      costs (including arbitrator’s, experts’ and attorney’s fees and expenses), and
      there shall be no award of such fees, expenses or costs. Judgment upon the
      final
      award rendered by such arbitrator, after giving effect to the AAA internal
      appeal process, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall keep confidential the existence
      of the claim, controversy or dispute from third parties (other than the
      arbitrator), and the determination thereof, unless otherwise required by law
      or
      necessary for the business of 3DIcon. The parties agree to abide by all
      decisions and awards rendered in such proceedings and to waive the appeal
      thereof to the courts. Notwithstanding any term herein to the contrary, 3DIcon
      shall be entitled to seek full injunctive and equitable relief in a court
      proceeding as a result of any alleged violation by Employee of the terms of
      this
      Agreement, and Employee hereby consents to personal jurisdiction in any state
      or
      federal court located in the Tulsa County, in the State of Oklahoma for the
      purpose of any such proceeding.

    If
      for any reason this arbitration clause becomes not applicable, then each party,
      to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby irrevocably waives
      all
      rights to trial by jury as to any issue in any action, proceeding, or
      counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement , Employee’s
      employment or any other matter involving the parties
      hereto. 

     

    Employee
      agrees that the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement are reasonable
      and necessary to protect the goodwill, confidential information and interests
      of
      3DIcon and consents to the entry of injunctive and such other equitable relief
      as may be appropriate (without the posting of a bond or other security) in
      the
      event of his breach thereof.

      shares of 3DIcon prior to such merger, combination or consolidation do not
      retain a majority of the voting power of the surviving company; provided that,
      in such instance, the exchanges of securities of the surviving company for
      securities of 3DIcon shall be deemed to constitute a merger or consolidation
      of

      7, 2007, and in amended form, approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2008,

      copy of which Plan has been provided to Employee. Employee acknowledges that
      all
      such terms and conditions are subject to amendment by 3DIcon’s Board of
      Directors from time to time. 

     

    Employee
      further acknowledges:

     

    (i) that
      the
      Options granted by 3DIcon do not represent a particular present or future value
      or percentage of the current or future outstanding shares of 3DIcon; and that
      3DIcon is not in any manner restricted by this Amendment or by the Employment
      Agreement from issuing more shares of its common stock, or other securities
      related thereto, from increasing the number of shares it is authorized to issue
      in a particular class of stock, or from increasing the number of classes of
      stock 3DIcon may issue;

     

    (ii) that,
      because certain conditions exist with respect to the Options, it is possible
      that Employee may never receive the options; and

      Employee is an accredited
      investor
      under
      federal and state securities laws.

      Employee shall be eligible to participate, to the extent he may be eligible,
      in
      any group medical and hospitalization insurance, disability insurance, profit
      sharing, retirement, life insurance, and each other employee benefit plan or
      program maintained or later instituted by 3DIcon. Employee acknowledges that:
      (i) participation in 3DIcon benefit programs and plans may require payroll
      deductions and contributions from Employee; and (ii) such benefit programs
      and
      plans are subject to amendment and termination at the discretion of
      3DIcon.

     

    (e) Withholdings.
      All
      compensation payments to Employee shall be made subject to normal deductions
      therefrom, including federal and state social security and withholding
      taxes.

      each year of employment (May 1 - April 30), Employee shall be entitled to
      thirty-five business days, in the aggregate, for vacation, sick leave and
      personal time off (collectively, “PTO”). Such PTO shall be deemed earned and
      usable on the first day of employment during the employment term. The seventeen
      days of PTO which Employee intends to take in November of 2008 shall be
      considered carried over from the prior employment year (May - April) and shall
      not count against Employee’s thirty-five days for the 2008-2009 employment term.
      Employee shall be entitled to carry over up to one-half his unused PTO from
      any
      calendar year to the next calendar year; provided, that Employee shall not
      be
      paid for any PTO which has not been used as of the date of his voluntary or
      involuntary separation from employment for any reason.

     

    4. Section
      7: Term;
      Termination; Severance,
      subsection
      (c) in the Employment Agreement, is hereby amended to provide as
      follows:

     

    (c) Severance
      Pay.  3DIcon
      shall pay Employee severance pay only under the terms and conditions of this
      Section 7(c). 

     

    (i) In
      the
      event Employee separates from employment with 3DIcon by Employee’s voluntary
      notice under Section 7(iii) or by 3DIcon’s decision under Section 7(iv),
      Employee shall be entitled to no severance pay or benefits
      hereunder.

     

    (ii) In
      the
      event Employee separates from employment with 3DIcon under Sections 7(i) or
      7(ii), or by 3DIcon’s voluntary notice under Section 7(iii) or by Employee’s
      timely decision due to the actual occurrence of one or more of the grounds
      stated in Section 7(v), Employee shall, upon execution of 3DIcon’s standard form
      separation agreement (which includes but is not limited to a General Release
      of
      3DIcon and its officers, directors and agents, from any claims Employee might
      have against any of them), be entitled to severance pay hereunder as follows:
      during a period equal to the greater of the number of months remaining on the
      one-year employment Term then in effect, or six months from the termination
      date, 3DIcon shall pay Employee an amount per month, on 3DIcon’s regular paydays
      and subject to mandatory withholdings, equal to Employee’s regular monthly
      salary at the time of separation.

    (iii)
      In
      the event Employee’s employment terminates because 3DIcon is liquidated or
      ceases doing business, and Employee is not, for any reason, otherwise receiving
      severance payments for a period of at least three months following the date
      on
      which the employment terminates, 3DIcon shall pay Employee an amount per month,
      on 3DIcon’s regular paydays and subject to mandatory withholdings, equal to
      Employee’s regular monthly salary at the time of separation for a period of
      three months following the termination of employment; provided, that such period
      shall not be in addition to other severance payments for the same period.

     

    4. This
      Amendment shall take effect as of the Amendment Effective Date and this
      Amendment, the Employment Agreement and the Option Agreement contain the entire
      understanding and agreement of Employee and 3DIcon with regard to Employee’s
      employment with 3DIcon. 

     

    IN
      WITNESS WHEREOF,
      3DIcon
      and the Employee have duly executed this Amendment to be effective as of the
      day
      and year first above written.
