EXECUTIVE
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This
EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 18 day of March__, 2019 (the
“Effective Date”), by and between LEGACY EDUCATION ALLIANCE, INC., a Nevada corporation, with an address of 1612 E.
Cape Coral Parkway, Cape Coral, FL 33904 (the “Company”) and Vanessa Guzmán-Clark (the “Executive”).

 

WHEREAS
Executive was first engaged by the Company as Senior Corporate Controller commencing January 28, 2019 (the “Start Date”);
and

 

WHEREAS,
Executive was appointed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company on October 1, 2019;

 

WHEREAS,
the Company desires to continue to employ Executive in the capacity of Chief Financial Officer; and

 

WHEREAS
Executive is willing to continue make her services available to the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement;

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for such other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby conclusively acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as
follow:

 

1.
Term. The Company hereby employs Executive as Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective as of the Effective
Date, and Executive agrees to accept such employment and to serve the Company as such upon the terms and conditions hereof commencing
on the Effective Date and continuing until terminated by either the Company or Executive subject to and in accordance with Section
7 of this Agreement (the “Term”).

 

2.
Duties.

 

(a)
Executive shall serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer
(the “CEO”). Executive shall also, if requested by the Board of Directors or any subcommittee thereof
(collectively, the “Board”) or the CEO, serve as an executive officer of any Company affiliate or joint venture
company and/or as a fiduciary of any Company, affiliate, or joint venture company benefit plan(s).

 

(b) Executive
shall have such duties and responsibilities as are customary for Executive’s position and any other duties or responsibilities
that may be assigned or delegated to her from time to time. Executive agrees that she will use her best efforts to fulfill her
duty of loyalty and care to the Company and to promote the business and interests of the Company above all others and that she
will not engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business or occupation during the Employment Term, except as expressly permitted
by the Board or the CEO. It is understood, however, that the foregoing will not prohibit Executive from (i) devoting reasonably
limited time to charitable activities and personal investment activities for herself and her family that do not interfere materially
with the performance of her duties hereunder or (ii) serving on the board(s) of any other corporate, civic or charitable organizations
so long as such service is not inconsistent with her fiduciary obligations to the Company or otherwise conflicts with her obligations
under the Covenant Agreement.

 

     

     

    

 

3. Compensation.

 

(a) Base
Salary. The Company will pay Executive for all services to be rendered by Executive hereunder (including and without limitation,
all services to be rendered by her as an officer and/or director of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates) a base salary
(“Base Salary”) of Two Thousand Four Hundred Twenty Three and 08/100ths Dollars ($2,423.08) per week ($126,000
annualized). The Base Salary may be increased at the discretion of the Board from time to time during the Employment Term.
Base Salary shall be payable at least bi-weekly or otherwise in accordance with customary payroll practices for senior executives
of the Company.

 

(b) Annual
Incentive Compensation. Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual non-equity incentive bonus (“Annual
Incentive Compensation”) and other long term incentive compensation, all of which are intended to comply with Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), under such executive bonus plans and long
term incentive plans as may be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board [or, in the absence of a Compensation
Committee, then a committee of the Board of Directors comprised of not less than two independent directors (in either event,
the “Independent Director Committee”)] in its sole discretion from time to time, subject to the terms and
conditions of such plans. The Annual Incentive Compensation will be based on the achievement of Company and individual
performance goals to be established by the Independent Director Committee, with annual target incentive bonuses of not less
than 50% of the Base Annual Salary.

 

(c) Repayment
upon Material Restatement. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Director or, in the absence of a Compensation Committee,
then a committee of the Board of Directors comprised of not less than two independent directors (in either event, the “Independent
Director Committee”) may, in its discretion, require reimbursement of all or part of any Annual Incentive Compensation or
other incentive payments to Executive where: (1) the payment of such Annual Incentive Compensation or other incentive payments
to Executive was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a material restatement
of the Company’s audited financial statement with the need for such restatement having been confirmed by the Company’s
independent auditors; (2) the Company determines Executive engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct that substantially
caused the need for the restatement; and (3) a lower payment would have been made to Executive based upon the restated financial
results. In each such instance, the Executive shall repay to the Company the amount by which the Executive’s Annual Incentive
Compensation or other incentive payments for the relevant period exceeded the lower payments that would have been made based on
the restated financial results; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be required to repay any Annual Incentive Compensation
or other incentive payments, or portion thereof, pursuant to this paragraph if such payments relate to accounting periods occurring
two (2) years (or such longer time period as may be required by law) or more prior to the restatement. Before the Compensation
Committee determines whether Executive engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct that caused or substantially caused the
need for the substantial restatement, it shall provide to Executive written notice and the opportunity to be heard, at a meeting
of the Independent Director Committee (which may be in-person or telephonic, as determined by the Independent Director Committee).

 

(d) Vacation.
Executive shall be entitled to paid annual paid time off (“PTO”) in an amount provided for in the Company’s
vacation, PTO or similar policy as amended from time to time, with the calculation of such entitlement to be retroactive to the
Start Date, but in no event less than four (4) weeks of paid annual vacation.

 

    2

     

    

 

4.
Expenses. Within thirty (30) days after the submission of reasonable supporting documentation by Executive and
in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable
and customary business, travel, and entertainment expenses incurred by Executive in the course of and pursuant to the business
of the Company.

 

5.
Executive Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans, programs or policies
provided to other full time employees or senior management of the Company or which may become in effect for the benefit of any
other employees or senior management of the Company at any time during the course of Executive’s employment by the Company, subject
to the terms of such plans, programs or policies. Such other benefits shall include, but not be limited to, directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company for the benefit of its directors and officers. Nothing in this Agreement
shall preclude the Company from amending or terminating any such plan at any time.

 

6.
Withholding. All payments required to be made by the Company to Executive hereunder shall be subject to the withholding
of such amounts relating to taxes and other governmental assessments as the Company may reasonably determine it should withhold
pursuant to any applicable law, rule, or regulation.

 

7. Termination
of Employment.

 

(a)
 Death; Permanent Disability. Upon the death of Executive during the term of this
Agreement, the Employment Term shall terminate. If during the Employment Term Executive fails, because of illness or other incapacity,
to perform the services required to be performed by her hereunder for any period of more than 90 days during any calendar year
(provided that vacation time, if not previously taken, shall be exhausted before the above 90-day period commences to run) (any
such illness or incapacity being hereinafter referred to as “Permanent Disability”), then the Company, in its
discretion, may at any time thereafter terminate the Employment Term upon not less than 30 days’ written notice thereof to Executive,
and the Employment Term shall terminate and come to an end upon the date set forth in said notice as if said date were the termination
date of the Employment Term; provided, however, that no such termination shall be effective if prior to the date when such notice
is given, Executive’s illness or incapacity shall have terminated and she shall be physically and mentally able to perform the
services required hereunder and shall have taken up and be performing such duties.

 

    3

     

    

 

If
Executive’s employment shall be terminated by reason of her death or Permanent Disability, Executive or her estate, as the case
may be, shall be entitled to receive (i) any earned and unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination; (ii) a pro rata portion
of any Annual Incentive Compensation that Executive otherwise would have been entitled to receive pursuant to any bonus plan or
arrangement for senior executives of the Company (such pro rata portion to be payable at the time such Annual Incentive Compensation
otherwise would have been payable to Executive); and (iii) subject to the terms thereof, any benefits that may be due to Executive
on the date of her termination under the provisions of any employee benefit plan, program, or policy of the Company. If Executive’s
employment is terminated by reason of her Permanent Disability, Executive shall be entitled to receive short-term disability benefits
subject to the terms of the Company’s short-term disability plan until such time as Executive becomes entitled to the benefits
under the Company’s Long Term Disability Plan; provided that the Company’s obligation to provide such short-term disability benefits
to Executive shall not under any circumstances extend beyond the maximum period provided in the Company’s short-term disability
plan plus an additional 90 days.

 

(b) 
Termination for Cause or Upon Executive’s Resignation. If the Employment Term is terminated (i) by Executive (other than
as a result of a material breach by the Company as set forth in Section 7(c) or (ii) by the Company for Cause, in either case,
Executive shall be entitled to receive only (x) any earned and unpaid Base Annual Salary accrued through the date of termination
and (y) subject to the terms thereof, any benefits which may be due to Executive on such date under the provisions of any employee
benefit plan, program, or policy. If Executive is terminated for Cause, the Company shall deliver written notice to Executive,
which notice shall specify the item of Cause for which Executive has been terminated.

 

For
purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” and “for Cause” shall mean (i) any intentional breach of
Executive’s fiduciary duty to the Company, including but not limited to fraud, dishonesty, embezzlement, and failure to follow
directions of the CEO or the Board of Directors; (ii) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement (iii) Executive’s material
breach of the Covenant Agreement; (iv) Executive’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of her duties that
materially adversely affects the Company; (v) any material violation by Executive of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct
and Ethics, as may be amended from time to time; (vi) any material violation by Executive of the Company’s non-discrimination,
non-harassment, or non-retaliation policies or procedures as may be established by the Company from time to time; (vii) conviction
of, or a plea to, a felony (including a plea of nolo contendere); or (viii) Executive’s continued failure to perform in any material
respect her duties to the Company as specifically directed by the Board; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall give Executive
notice of any circumstances described in (ii) or (viii) above, which notice shall describe such circumstances in reasonable detail,
and (B) no for “Cause” termination shall be deemed to exist if Executive shall remedy or cure the relevant circumstances
within 20 days from her receipt of such notice. Termination for Cause under clause (ii) or (viii) shall be effective immediately
following expiration of the 20-day cure period as aforesaid; provided Executive has not previously cured the event of Cause; and
termination for Cause under (iv) shall be effective immediately upon receipt by Executive of written notice of termination.

(c)
 Termination Other than for Cause or Upon Material Breach by Company. If the Employment
Term is terminated (i) by the Company other than for Cause or (ii) by Executive, subject to the succeeding sentence, following
a material breach by the Company of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any material diminution in the scope of the
Executive’s duties or a reduction in the Annual Salary payable hereunder), in either case, the Company shall to pay to Executive
(x) any earned and unpaid Base Annual Salary and Annual Incentive Compensation accrued but unpaid through the date of termination;
(y) subject to the terms thereof, any benefits which may be due to Executive on such date under the provisions of any employee
benefit plan, program, or policy and (z) a separation benefit in an amount equal to twenty-six (26) weeks of Executive’s
Base Salary in effect as of the date of termination date, less all applicable withholding taxes and any other amounts required
by law to be withheld, payable in bi-weekly installments concurrently with Company’s regularly scheduled pay periods (such
separation benefit payable pursuant to this clause (z) hereinafter referred to as the “Separation Benefit”).

 

If
there is a material breach of this Agreement by the Company, Executive shall, within 30 days following her knowledge of such breach,
deliver written notice to the Company, which notice shall specify such material breach. No material breach shall be deemed to
exist if the Company shall remedy or cure the relevant circumstances within 20 days of its receipt of such notice. Payment by
the Company of the Separation Benefit shall be conditioned upon (i) Executive executing a general release in favor of the Company
(which release shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and shall exclude the Company’s obligations in this Section and
its obligations in Section 3) and (ii) Executive’s continued compliance with the terms and conditions of Covenant Agreement.

 

(d)
 Termination following Change of Control. If the Employment Term is terminated
by (i) the Company without Cause or by Executive following a material breach by the Company, (including, but not limited to, any
material diminution in the scope of the Executive’s duties or a reduction in the Base Salary payable hereunder), in either
case within eighteen (18) months following a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company, (a “Change of Control
Termination”) then (i) the Company shall pay to Executive in a lump sum payment (x ) all Base Salary and Annual Incentive
Compensation that have accrued but are unpaid as of the Termination Date, (y) an amount equal to the fifty-two (52) weeks

by law to be withheld, payable in bi-weekly installments concurrently with Company’s regularly scheduled pay periods (such
separation benefit payable pursuant to this clause (z) hereinafter referred to as the “Change in Control Separation Benefit”).
Payment by the Company of the Change in Control Separation Benefit shall be conditioned upon (i) Executive executing a general
release in favor of the Company (which release shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and shall exclude the Company’s
obligations in this Section and its obligations in Section 3) and (ii) Executive’s continued compliance with the terms and conditions
of Covenant Agreement.

 

    5

     

    

 

For
purposes hereof, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur upon:

 

(i) any
“person” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than LEAI, any trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by
the shareholders of LEAI in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of common stock of LEAI), is or becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of LEAI
representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of LEAI’s then outstanding securities;

 

(ii) during
any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director
(other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described
in paragraph (a), (c), or (d) of this Section) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by LEAI’s shareholders was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of
the two-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of the Board;

 

(iii) a
merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other business combination of LEAI with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation
which would result in the voting securities of LEAI outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined
voting power of the voting securities of LEAI or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation;
provided, however, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of LEAI (or similar transaction) in
which no person acquires thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of LEAI’s then outstanding securities shall
not constitute a Change in Control; or

 

(iv) the
shareholders of LEAI approve a plan of complete liquidation of LEAI or the consummation of the sale or disposition by LEAI of
all or substantially all of LEAI’s assets other than (x) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
LEAI to a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined
voting power of the outstanding voting securities of LEAI at the time of the sale or (y) pursuant to a spin-off type transaction,
directly or indirectly, of such assets to the shareholders of LEAI.

 

    6

     

    

 

(e) Equity
Grants. Upon the termination of employment of the Executive for any reason, all awards of common stock in the Company or other
awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on the common stock of the company, including,
but not limited to, stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and performance shares
or performance units, previously made to the Executive shall be governed by the respective terms of such awards and any agreements
entered into between the Company and the Executive with respect to such awards, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary.

 

(f) 
No Other Amounts. Executive hereby agrees that except as expressly provided in this Agreement (including any benefits
expressly referenced herein as being generally available to Executive), no salary, incentive compensation, bonus, benefits, severance,
or other compensation of any kind, nature, or amount shall be payable to Executive and except as expressly provided herein, Executive
hereby irrevocably waives any claim for salary, incentive compensation, bonus, benefits, severance, or other compensation.  

 

8.
 Restrictive Covenants. Executive hereby ratifies and affirms the Confidentiality,
Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement (attached hereto as Appendix A) (“Covenant Agreement”) and agrees to comply
with the Covenant Agreement. The restrictions provided for in the Covenant Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.

 

9.
Acceptance by Executive. Executive accepts all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and agrees to perform
all of the covenants on her part to be performed hereunder. The Company accepts all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
and agrees to perform all of the covenants on its part to be performed hereunder.

 

10. Equitable
Remedies. Executive acknowledges that she has been employed for her unique talents and that her leaving the employ of the
Company would seriously hamper the business of the Company and the parties acknowledge that any violation or breach of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Covenant Agreement, will cause the non-breaching party to suffer irreparable
damage. The parties hereby expressly agree that the non-breaching party shall be entitled as a matter of right to injunctive
or other equitable relief, in addition to all other remedies permitted by law, to prevent a breach or violation by the other
party and to secure enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Sections 8 or 9 hereof.
Resort to such equitable relief, however, shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies which the
non-breaching party may have.

 

    7

     

    

 

11.
 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties hereto and there are no other terms other than those contained herein. No variation hereof shall be deemed valid unless
in writing and signed by the parties hereto and no discharge of the terms hereof shall be deemed valid unless by full performance
of the parties hereto or by a writing signed by the parties hereto. No waiver by any party of any breach by the other party of
any provision or condition of this agreement by it to be performed shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of a similar or dissimilar
provision or condition at the same time or any prior or subsequent time.

    

12.
Severability. In case any provision in this agreement shall be declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any
court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

			Exhibit 4.1
		

		
			DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
		

		
			REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
		

		
			SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
		

		
			The following description of the Class A Common Stock is based upon the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, effective June 7, 2016 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Company’s By-Laws, amended and restated as of March 20, 2012 (the “Bylaws”), copies of which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 7, 2016 and Exhibit 3.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2012, respectively. Additionally, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) may contain provisions which affect the capital stock of the Company. The following description summarizes certain portions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The summary is not complete. You should read the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws for the provisions that are important to you.
		

		
			Authorized Capitalization
		

		
			 
		

		
			Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, the total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Company shall have authority to issue is two hundred sixty million (260,000,000) shares, consisting of two hundred million (200,000,000) shares of Class A Common Stock, with a par value of one cent ($.01) per share, and sixty million (60,000,000) shares of Class B common stock, with a par value of one cent ($.01) per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”). The number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock voting together as a single class without the separate vote of the holders of any other class of stock.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Description of Capital Stock
		

		
			 
		

		
			Dividend Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to receive dividends if as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. Under the DGCL, the Company may declare and pay dividends only out of its surplus or in case there shall be no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding year. No dividend may be declared, however, if the capital of the Company has been diminished by depreciation losses or otherwise to an amount less than the aggregate amount of capital represented by any issued and outstanding stock having a preference on distribution. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that dividends must be declared and paid concurrently on both the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at any time that dividends are paid.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Conversion Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			Each holder of record of Class B Common Stock may, in such holder’s sole discretion and at such holder’s option, convert any whole number or all of such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock at the rate (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of one (1) share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock surrendered for conversion.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock may be converted shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of any capital reorganization, reclassification of stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation or other entity or person.
		

		
			

		 

		

			1

		

		

			 

		

		

		
			 
		

		
			Voting Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			With respect to the election of directors, the holders of Class A Common Stock voting as a separate class shall be entitled to elect that number of directors which constitutes twenty-five percent (25%) of the total membership of the Board, and if such twenty-five percent (25%) is not a whole number, then the holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to elect the nearest higher whole number of directors which constitutes twenty-five percent (25%) of such membership. The holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to vote as a separate class on the removal, with or without cause, of any director elected by the holders of Class A Common Stock, provided that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any director may be removed for cause by the Board of Directors. As for all other matters, the holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one-tenth (1/10) of a vote for each share.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Class B Common Stock shall have one (1) vote per share on all matters that may be submitted to a vote of the stockholders.
