Employee) and paid on December 15th of each year.

 (ii) Employee may participate in all benefit plans provided by UTEK at an individual cost equal to or less
than the individual cost of the comparable plans in effect for Strategos prior to its acquisition by UTEK. UTEK or Strategos shall maintain a qualified retirement plan and other benefit plans for Employee equivalent to the 401k plan and
corresponding benefit plans in effect for Strategos prior to its acquisition by UTEK.

anniversary of the date hereof (with respect to all subsequent years), according to the terms of UTEK’s employee stock option program. 
 (iv) In addition to (but without duplication of) the Base Salary and any bonuses payable to Employee pursuant to this Section 4, during the Employment Term, Employee shall be entitled
to four (4) weeks of paid vacation each calendar year in accordance with UTEK’s company handbook, which if not taken during any year may not be carried forward to any subsequent calendar year and no compensation shall be payable in lieu
thereof. 
 (v) In the event of (1) a termination of Employee by the Company other than
for Cause (as defined in Paragraph 7(a)) or (2) a resignation by Employee for Good Reason (as defined in Paragraph 7(b)), Employee shall be entitled to a one-time lump sum payment (the “Severance Payment”) equivalent to
Employee’s compensation for a number of months equal to (i) thirty six, less (ii) one month for each monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date that has passed prior to the date of termination of Employee’s employment with UTEK
(the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that on the thirtieth (30th) monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date and for the duration of Employee’s employment by UTEK (whether during the Employment Term or otherwise) thereafter, Employee shall be entitled to a
Severance Payment equal to Employee’s compensation for six (6) months. For purposes of this Section 4(b)(v), “Employee’s compensation” shall mean (x) the sum of the Employee’s then current Base Salary plus the
average of Employee’s actual cash bonus for the prior two calendar years (including the Annual Bonus for 2008 and subsequent years, and the prior bonuses received by Employee from Strategos for earlier years) divided by (y) 12.

 a. The Employee has acquired and will acquire information and knowledge respecting the intimate and confidential affairs of the Company (for
this purpose including all subsidiaries and affiliates, including without limitation confidential information with respect to the Company’s customer lists, technologies, business methodology, business techniques, promotional materials and

otherwise) and thereafter, the Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, disclose to any person, other than a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the

any of the aforementioned documents or objects (except for the purpose of performing Employee’s duties and except for Employee’s contact information, which may be kept for personal use that is not inconsistent with Employee’s
obligations under Section 6 below) nor remove them from the Company’s facilities, nor use any information concerning them except for the covenants and agrees that the Employee will deliver to the Company upon termination of the
Employee’s employment, or any other time at the Company’s reasonable request.

compensation, profits or other remuneration from his current 2008 book and any subsequent such scholarly writings unrelated to any UTEK-related topics. Employee shall not disclose, without the Company’s written consent, any Confidential
Information of the Company in connection with any such writings. 
 6. Restrictive Covenants. 
 a. The term of the restrictive covenants contained in this Paragraph 6 (the “Covenant Term”) shall be

Commencement Date that has passed prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that on the twenty-fourth (24th) monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date and for the duration of Employee’s employment by UTEK (whether
during the Employment Term or otherwise) thereafter, Employee shall be subject to a Covenant Term of twelve (12) months. 
 b. Employee covenants and agrees that during the Employment Term Employee will not: 
 (i) directly or indirectly engage
in, continue in or carry on the business of any corporation, partnership, firm or other business organization which is now, becomes or may become a direct competitor of Strategos in its business, including owning or controlling any financial
interest in, any corporation, partnership, firm or other form of business organization which competes with or is engaged in or carries on any aspect of such business or any business substantially similar thereto; or 
 (ii) consult with, advise or assist in any way, whether or not for consideration, any corporation, partnership, firm or other business
organization which is now, becomes or may become a competitor of Strategos during Employee’s employment with UTEK. 
 c.
Employee further covenants and agrees that during the Covenant Term, Employee shall refrain from soliciting and shall not, directly as independent contractor, employee, consultant, agent, partner, or joint venturer, or as an officer, director, agent
or employee of any firm, person, entity, partnership or corporation, or otherwise solicit the business of any person, firm, partnership, corporation, joint venture, sole proprietorship or other entity with whom Employee has worked or to whom
Employee has sold or solicited business during the thirty (30) month term preceding the Termination Date. The Employee further covenants and agrees that, during the Covenant Term, the Employee will not work directly as a full-time employee for
any corporation, partnership, firm or other business organization that has done business with Strategos in the six-month term prior to the Termination Date. For purposes of this Section 6(c), “sold or solicited business” means that
Employee has attended an in-person meeting at the potential customer’s offices seeking to secure a current or future consulting engagement for Strategos. 
 d. In the event of any breach of this covenant, Employee recognizes that the remedies

 
at law may be inadequate and that in addition to any relief at law, subject to Section 8, which may be available to the Company for such violation or breach and regardless of any
provisions contained in this Agreement, the Company may be entitled to equitable remedies (including an injunction) and such other relief as a court may grant after considering the intent of this section. In any action or proceeding by the Company
to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction to enforce the covenant, Employee hereby agrees that the Company shall not be required to put an injunction bond in excess of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) in order to obtain
the temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction. 
 e. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that the provisions of this covenant are excessively broad as to duration, geographic scope, prohibited activities or otherwise, the parties agree that this covenant shall be reduced or curtained to the extent necessary to render it enforceable.

 f. For the purposes of this Section 6, “Strategos” shall be deemed to be only Strategos and its
consulting business (whether or not separately incorporated or organized and even if operated solely as an unincorporated division of UTEK) and shall not include the Company’s other businesses, operations, subsidiaries or affiliates.

 g. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that any provision of this Section 6 may be amended or
waived only by the mutual written agreement of both parties. 
 7. Termination 
 a. UTEK shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately for “Cause.” 
 “Cause” shall mean the Company’s Board’s final determination that any of the following has occurred:
(i) Employee’s willful and continued failure (other than any such failure resulting from physical or mental incapacity) to perform the lawful and reasonable duties properly assigned to him that are consistent with the scope and nature of
Employee’s position, or (ii) Employee’s commission of an act that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct and that is materially and demonstrably detrimental to the financial condition and/or goodwill of the Company, or
(iii) Employee’s commission of any theft, fraud, act of dishonesty or breach of trust directly or indirectly resulting in, or intended to result in, material personal gain or enrichment of Employee at the direct or indirect expense of the
Company, or (iv) Employee’s conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude, but specifically excluding any conviction based entirely on vicarious liability or the operation of a motor vehicle, or (v) Employee’s material
violation of any Section 6 of this Agreement, or (vi) Employee’s habitual abuse of alcohol or any regulated substance that results in a material impairment of Employee’s ability to perform his obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however, that “Cause” shall only exist if and to the extent that the Board has given the Employee (A) a written notice of such occurrence that specifically identifies the manner and nature of such occurrence, (B) with
respect to occurrences listed in clauses (i), (v) and (vi), a reasonable period (not to exceed 90 days) to cure the behavior related to such occurrence and (C) a reasonable opportunity (together with counsel) to be heard before the Board
before a final decision with respect to the

 
existence of Cause is made by the Board; and provided, further, that such occurrence shall only constitute “Cause” hereunder if the Company terminates Employee’s employment with
the Company within 120 days after delivery of such written notice. No act or failure to act shall be considered to be “willful” (x) unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Employee in bad faith or without reasonable belief that
Employee’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company, or (y) if it is done, or omitted to be done, in reliance on the informed advice of UTEK’s General Counsel or its outside counsel or independent accountants or at
the express direction of the Board. 
 b. If the Employee is terminated for Cause or resigns his employment without Good Reason
(a “Forfeiture Event”), (i) except as required by law, the Company will not be required to make any further payments to Employee during the remainder of the term of this Employment Agreement except as provided in Paragraph
4(v) herein, and (ii) Employee shall forfeit any remaining, unvested Class B Units (the “Equity”) granted under that certain Class B Unit Agreement dated April     , 2008 and that certain Operating Agreement
of Strategos, LLC, dated April     , 2008. 
 “Good Reason” shall mean, in the absence of
Employee’s written consent, (i) any action by the Company that results in a material diminution in Employee’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the liquidation
or merger of Strategos with and into UTEK after its acquisition by UTEK shall not be considered an event that would give rise to Good Reason so long as Employee continues to (x) be the principal member of a team of employees engaged in, and
have client relationship leadership responsibility for, the innovation, strategy, and strategy implementation consulting practice of Strategos comparable to the services offered by Strategos prior to its acquisition by UTEK; (y) reports
directly only to the Chief Operating Officer of UTEK; and (z) continues to be a member of the policy-making group of senior principals of the Strategos consulting practice; (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with the material terms
of this Agreement; (iii) any reduction in the Employee’s Base Salary or Annual Bonus opportunity (including any modification, amendment, revision or termination of the Bonus Plan by UTEK during the Employment Term without the express prior
written consent of Employee); and (iv) the Company requiring the Employee to be based at any office or location more than 30 miles from his residence as of the date hereof; provided, however that Employee has given the Board: (A) a written
notice of such occurrence that specifically identifies the manner and nature of such occurrence, and (B) with respect to occurrences listed in (i) or (ii) above, a reasonable period (not to exceed 90 days) to cure such occurrence; and
provided, further, that such occurrence shall only constitute “Good Reason” hereunder if Employee terminates his employment with the Company within 120 days after delivery of such written notice. 
 c. Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) of UTEK prior to a Forfeiture Event, Employee’s interest in the
Equity shall become fully vested and exercisable. 
 “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have taken place if there
shall occur a single transaction pursuant to which: (i) securities of UTEK representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of UTEK’s then outstanding voting securities are acquired pursuant to a tender offer or an exchange offer by a
person or entity which is not a

 
wholly-owned subsidiary of UTEK or any of its affiliates; (ii) a merger or consolidation is consummated in which UTEK is a constituent corporation and which results in less than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity being owned by the then existing stockholders of UTEK; (iii) a sale is consummated by UTEK of substantially all of the company’s assets to a person or entity which is not a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the company or any of its affiliates or (iv) any option granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated Employee Stock Option Plan in effect as of the date hereof (as such Plan may be hereafter amended or
superseded) shall become immediately exercisable in full under Section 6(c) of such Plan. 
 8. Arbitration.
Except for remedies for injunctive relief as provided in Section 6(e), any controversies between UTEK and Employee involving the construction or application of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement shall
on the written request of either party served on the other be submitted to arbitration. Such arbitration shall comply with and be governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Association. An arbitration demand must be made within one
(1) year of the date on which the party demanding arbitration first had notice of the existence of the claim to be arbitrated, or the right to arbitration along with such claim shall be considered to have been waived. An arbitrator shall be
selected according to the procedures of the American Arbitration Association. The cost of arbitration shall be born by the losing party or in such proportions as the arbitrator shall decide. The arbitrator shall have no authority to add to, subtract
from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement, or to award punitive damages to either party. 
 9.
Attorney’s Fees and Costs. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and necessary
disbursements in addition to any other relief to which he may be entitled. 
 10. Entire Agreement: Survival.

 a. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and
supersedes, effective as of the date hereof any prior agreement or understanding between UTEK and Employee with respect to Employee’s employment by UTEK. This Agreement may not be amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the Employee
and the UTEK, or any waiver, change, discharge or modification as sought. Waiver of or failure to exercise any rights provided by this Agreement and in any respect shall not be deemed a waiver of any further or future rights. 
 b. The provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 11. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned to other parties. 
 12. Governing Law. This Agreement and all the amendments hereof, and waivers and consents with respect thereto shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof, and the parties agree that the jurisdiction shall be in Cook County, Illinois.

	Peter SkarsynskiUTEK - Strategos Bonus Plan dated 4/10/08

 Exhibit 10.21 
 UTEK-Strategos Bonus Plan 
 April 10, 2008

 Overview 
 The
UTEK-Strategos Bonus Plan has been established by UTEK to retain the key employees of Strategos, Inc., after its acquisition by UTEK through competitive rewards, attract premier talent, align individual efforts with business goals and reward
Employees for strong business performance. The Plan shall continue the pre-acquisition bonus structure and philosophy maintained by Strategos without substantial change other than as provided herein. Capitalized terms are defined in the
“Definitions” section below. 
 Eligibility 
 To be eligible to participate in this Plan, an individual must be a full-time or part-time Employee of Strategos. The Administrative Committee may exclude Employees from participation as it deems
necessary or appropriate. 
 Award Pool Calculation and Individual Award Determinations 
 The Award Pool shall be determined based on Strategos’ Eligible Earnings, its Aggregate Revenues and the Exemption Percentage for the Plan Year using
the following formula: 
 Award Pool     =    Eligible
Earnings    -    (Aggregate Revenues    *    Exemption Percentage)    +    European Royalty Revenue* 10%) 
 The Award Pool may be limited to the extent required to permit Strategos to maintain sufficient operating cash (not to exceed $1 million for this purpose)
after taking into account its anticipated receipt of accounts receivable and other cash items within 30 days after the end of the Plan Year. 
 Individual Awards for each Plan Year shall be determined by the Administrative Committee in a manner consistent with past practices. Participation among Employees shall be based on the following parameters, which are consistent with past
practices: 
  

			
	 Employee Status
	 	 Maximum Percentage of
 Base Salary Eligibility

	Administrative Level	 	25% of Base Salary
	Principal Level	 	50% of Base Salary
	Director and Managing Director	 	No Maximum

 The Administrative Committee shall first determine a dollar-amount Individual Award for each Participant
other than the Director and Managing Directors (the “Director Pool”), subject to the applicable maximum percentage of Base Salary eligibility, based on such Participants’ relative individual performances and contributions to the
success of Strategos for such Plan Year. The Administrative Committee shall then determine the relative sharing percentages of the individuals within the Director Pool based on the relative performance of each individual within the Director Pool and
their respective contributions to the success of Strategos for such Plan Year. The Individual Awards of each individual within the Director Pool shall then be calculated by multiplying such individual’s relative sharing percentage for such Plan
Year by the amount remaining in the Award Pool after provision for all Individual Awards for all Participants other than the individuals within the Director Pool. The decisions of the Administrative Committee, including each Participant’s
Individual Award, shall be final and binding on the Company and the Participants. 
 Payout Process 
  

	 	•	 	 All Individual Awards shall be paid in cash and made as close as administratively possible to December 15th, but in no event after
December 31st, of the Plan Year. 

 Administration 
  

	 	•	 	 The Administrative Committee has the overall responsibility for administering and interpreting this Plan. 

  

	 	•	 	 Any claims for payments under the Plan or any other matter relating to the Plan must be presented in writing to the Administrative Committee within 60
days after the event that is the subject of the claim. The Administrative Committee will then provide a response within 60 days, which shall be final and binding. 

 General Provisions 
  

	 	•	 	 Individual Awards are subject to all applicable withholding taxes and other required deductions. 

  

	 	•	 	 The Plan will not be available to any Employee who is subject to the laws of any jurisdiction that prohibits any provisions of this Plan or in which
tax or other business considerations make participation impracticable in the judgment of the Administrative Committee. 

  

	 	•	 	 This Plan does not constitute a guarantee of employment, nor does it restrict the Company’s right to terminate the employment of any Participant
at any time or for any reason. 

	 	•	 	 Individual Award opportunities may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. 

  

	 	•	 	 The Administrative Committee shall have discretion to award no Individual Award, a full Individual Award or a pro-rated Individual Award to any
Participant that changes employee status during the Plan Year, including with respect to Participants who are promoted during such Plan Year. 

 Definitions 
 Award Pool: for each Plan Year, the aggregate amount eligible to be
distributed to the Participants through Individual Awards determined according to the formula under the heading “Award Calculation.” 
 Company: UTEK Corporation. 
 Administrative Committee: for each Plan Year, a committee comprised of (a) the
Managing Directors of Strategos as voting members and (b) the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company as non-voting, ex officio members. 
 Aggregate Revenue: for each Plan Year, all professional services revenues realized for accounting purposes by Strategos consistent with past practices, increased, if and to the extent that
Strategos’ gross income for any Plan Year includes the receipt of “royalty”-like payments from Strategos’ European associated firms and does not include the gross revenues of such associated firms, the amount of such payments
shall be multiplied by 5.0 for purposes of calculating Aggregate Revenue for such Plan Year. 
 Director Pool: for each Plan Year, a
group comprised of each Director and Managing Director of Strategos. 
 Eligible Earnings: for each Plan Year, the gross profit of
Strategos after taking into account all revenues recognized during such Plan Year (including all European Royalty Revenue for such plan year), less all expenses incurred during such Plan Year (other than with respect to any Individual Awards
determined in accordance with this Plan), determined in a manner consistent with the determination of such gross profit by Strategos, Inc. for the 2007 and earlier years. The Administrative Committee shall determine Eligible Earnings based on
separate financial statements prepared by Strategos consistent with past practices and consistent with the application of the principles of GAAP. Eligible Earnings shall not include one-time events, such as restructuring charges, severance expenses,
sales of assets, stock compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets or in-process research and development, purchase accounting adjustments or other accounting entries that do not reflect stand-alone profitability of Strategos for any
Plan Year. 

 Employee: a person in an employee-employer relationship with the Company whose base wage or base
salary is processed for payment by the payroll department(s) of the Company or a subsidiary. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrative Committee, the term Employee shall exclude the following: 
  

	 	•	 	 Any independent contractor, consultant or individual performing services for the Company who has entered into an independent contractor or consultant
agreement; 

  

	 	•	 	 Any individual performing services under an independent contractor or consultant agreement, a purchase order, a supplier agreement or any other
agreement that the Company enters into for services; 

  

	 	•	 	 Any person classified by the Company as a temporary or contract labor regardless of the length of service; and 

  

	 	•	 	 Any “leased employee” as defined in Section 414(n) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

Such individuals shall be precluded from retroactive participation in the Plan even if a court or governmental or regulatory entity subsequently
reclassifies such individuals as common law employees of the Company on a retroactive basis. 
 Exemption Percentage: for each Plan Year,
the blended percentage calculated on a progressive basis, using the following table based on the Aggregate Revenues for such Plan Year: 
  

			
	 Aggregate Revenues
	  	Applicable Percentage
	 Up to $11.5M
	  	10%*
	 $11.5M to $13.5M
	  	18%*
	 $13.5M to $15.5M
	  	22%*
	 Over $15.5M
	  	26%*

  

	*	Note: Applicable Percentages still under review/negotiation between Strategos and UTEK 

 By way of illustration, if Strategos realizes $15M in Aggregate Revenues for a Plan Year, the Exemption Percentage for such Plan Year would be 12.27%
(0.1226666 = ((11.5 * .10) + (2 * .18) + (1.5 * .22))/15) 
 Individual Award: for each Plan Year, the cash bonus for each Participant
determined by the Administrative Committee consistent with the Plan. 
 Managing Director: an Employee who was a Managing Director of
Strategos prior to its acquisition by UTEK and who maintains such Managing Director role (whether or not with such title) after such acquisition, and any other Employee of Strategos later unanimously designated by the other Managing Directors of
Strategos to serve in such capacity in the future. 

 Participant: an Employee who meets the eligibility requirements set forth above. 
 Plan: the UTEK-Strategos Bonus Plan, as amended from time to time. 
 Plan Year: calendar-year performance periods commencing each January 1st. 
 Strategos: Strategos, Inc. and its consulting business (whether or not separately incorporated or organized and even if operated solely as an unincorporated division of UTEK), which shall not include the Company’s other
businesses, operations, subsidiaries and or affiliates. 
 Applicable Law 
 To the extent not preempted by Federal law, or otherwise provided by local law, the Plan will be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Florida without regard to any
State’s conflicts of laws principles.
