Exhibit 10.4 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made this 18th day of September, 2014 by and between Discovery Communications, LLC (“Company”) and Andrew Warren (“Executive”).
As a condition to and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement, Company hereby offers Executive and Executive hereby accepts employment upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
I.DUTIES, ACCEPTANCE, LOCATION
		
	A.
	Company hereby employs Executive to render exclusive and full-time services as Chief Financial Officer, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Executive’s duties shall be consistent with his title and as otherwise directed by Company.  Effective September 1, 2014, Executive’s primary office location shall be the Company’s offices in New York City, New York.  If Company deems it necessary, subject to Section IV(D)(1)(b) hereof, Company may change the location where Executive works.

		
	B.
	Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  Company reserves the right to change the individual and/or position to whom/which Executive reports, except that Executive shall not report to a level lower than the Chief Executive Officer.  

		
	C.
	Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the services described above.  Throughout his employment with Company, Executive agrees to serve Company faithfully and to the best of his ability, and to devote his full business time and energy to perform the duties arising under this Agreement in a professional manner that does not discredit, but furthers the interests of Company.

II.TERM OF EMPLOYMENT
		
	A.
	Subject to Section IV, Executive’s term of employment shall begin on September 1, 2014 and end on March 26, 2018 (“Term of Employment”).

		
	B.
	Company shall have the option to enter negotiations with Executive to renew this Agreement with Executive for an additional term.  If Company wishes to exercise its option to enter negotiations with Executive to renew this Agreement, it will give Executive written notice of its intent to enter such negotiations to renew not later than 270 days prior to the end of the Term of Employment. Executive and Company agree to then negotiate with each other exclusively and in good faith until the end of the Term of Employment. The Term of Employment may not, however, be extended unless by mutual agreement of the Company and Executive as to all of the material terms and conditions of the extension.  In the event the parties do not enter into an agreement to extend this Agreement for an additional term, this Agreement shall expire and the Term of Employment shall end on March 26, 2018; provided, however, that if the Company elects not to renew this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible for a severance payment pursuant to Section IV(D)(2) herein.  If Company offers to renew this Agreement, but the parties are unable to agree on final terms, and Executive terminates employment at the end of the Term of Employment, Executive will be eligible for a Noncompetition Payment (as defined by, and in accordance with, Section VI (G), below).

III.COMPENSATION
		
	A.
	Base Salary.  Effective September 1, 2014, Company agrees to provide Executive with an annual base salary of $1,175,000.  Beginning September 1, 2014, this sum will be paid over the course of twelve (12) months, in increments paid on regular Company paydays, less such sums as the law requires Company to deduct or withhold.  Executive’s future salary increases will be reviewed and decided in accordance with Company’s standard practices and procedures.

		
	B.
	Bonus/Incentive Payment.  In addition to the base salary paid to Executive pursuant to Section III(A), Executive shall be eligible for an annual incentive payment target of one hundred twenty percent (120%) of his base salary.  This increase in bonus target shall be effective on September 1, 2014 and Executive’s bonus target for 2014 shall be blended based on eight months at his previous bonus target of 100% and four months at the new target of 120%.  The portion of the incentive payment to be received by Executive will be determined in accordance with Company’s applicable incentive or bonus plan in effect at that time (e.g., subject to reduction for Company under-performance and increase for Company over-performance) and will be paid in the accordance with the applicable incentive or bonus plan.

		
	C.
	Benefits.  Executive shall be entitled to participate in and to receive any and all benefits generally available to executives at Executive’s level in the company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan or arrangement.

		
	D.
	Equity Program.  Executive will be recommended for an award of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) under the Discovery Communications, Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan, or a successor plan (the “Stock Plan”), within 60 days after Executive’s execution of this Agreement.  The award, which is subject to approval by the Compensation Committee, will be based on a target value of TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000), with the number of PRSUs based on the target value divided by the fair market value of a share of Series A common stock of Discovery Communications, Inc. on the trading day prior to the date of grant.  The award will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan and the implementing award agreement, with 50% vesting on September 1, 2017 and 50% on September 1, 2018 (in both cases assuming satisfaction of the applicable performance metrics and the other terms and conditions of the award).  Executive shall be considered for future equity awards in accordance with Company’s standard practices for awards to senior executives.

IV.TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND AGREEMENT
		
	A.
	Death.  If Executive should die during the Term of Employment, this Agreement will terminate.  No further amounts or benefits shall be payable except earned but unpaid base salary and those benefits that may vest in accordance with the controlling documents for other relevant Company benefits programs, which shall be paid in accordance with the terms of such other Company benefit programs, including the terms governing the time and manner of payment.

		
	B.
	Inability To Perform Duties.  If, during the Term of Employment, Executive should become physically or mentally disabled, such that he is unable to perform his duties under Sections I (A) and (C) hereof for (i) a period of six (6) consecutive months or (ii) for shorter periods that add up to six (6) months in any eight (8)-month period, by written notice to the Executive, Company may terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s employment shall terminate upon Executive incurring a “separation from service” under the medical leave rules of Section 409A.  In that case, no further amounts or benefits shall be payable to Executive, except that until (i) he is no longer disabled or (ii) he becomes 65 years old -- whichever happens first – Executive may be entitled to receive continued coverage under the relevant medical or disability plans to the extent permitted by such plans and to the extent such benefits continue to be provided to the Company executives at Executive’s level in  the Company generally, provided that in the case of any continued coverage under one or more of Company’s medical plans, if Company determines that the provision of continued medical coverage at Company’s sole or partial expense may result in Federal taxation of the benefit provided thereunder to Executive or his dependents, or in other penalties applied to the Company, then Executive shall be obligated to pay the full monthly COBRA or similar premium for such coverage.

		
	C.
	Termination For Cause.

		
	1.
	Company may terminate Executive’s employment and this Agreement for Cause by written notice. Cause shall mean under this paragraph:  (i) the conviction of, or nolo contendere or guilty plea, to a felony (whether any right to appeal has been or may be exercised); (ii) conduct constituting embezzlement, material misappropriation or fraud, whether or not related to Executive’s employment with the Company; (iii) conduct constituting a financial crime, material act of dishonesty or conduct in violation of Company’s Code of Ethics; (iv) improper conduct substantially prejudicial to the Company’s business; (v) willful unauthorized disclosure or use of Company confidential information; (vi) material improper destruction of Company property; or (vii) willful misconduct in connection with the performance of Executive's duties.

		
	2.
	In the event that Executive materially neglects his duties under Sections I(A) or (C) hereof or engages in other conduct that constitutes a breach by Executive of this Agreement (collectively “Breach”), Company shall so notify Executive in writing.  Executive will be afforded a one-time-only opportunity to cure the noted Breach within ten (10) days from receipt of this notice.  If no cure is achieved within this time, or if Executive engages in the same Breach a second time after once having been given the opportunity to cure, Company may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Executive.

		
	3.
	Any termination of employment pursuant to Sections IV(C)(1) or Section IV(C)(2) hereof shall be considered a termination of Executive’s employment “For Cause” (or for “Cause”) and upon such termination, Executive shall only be entitled to receive any amounts or benefits hereunder that have been earned or vested at the time of such termination in accordance with the terms of the applicable governing Company plan(s), (including the provisions of such plan(s) governing the time and manner of payment), and/or as may be required by law.  “Cause” as used any such Company plan shall be deemed to mean solely the commission of the acts described in Sections IV(C)(1) or Section IV(C)(2) hereof (after giving effect to the cure opportunity described therein).  

		
	D.
	Termination Of Agreement By Executive for Good Reason/Termination of Agreement by Company Not For Cause.

		
	1.
	Company may terminate Executive’s employment and this Agreement not for Cause (as “cause” is defined above), and Executive may terminate his employment and this Agreement for “good reason” as defined herein. “Good Reason” for purposes of this Agreement shall only mean the occurrence of any of the following events without Executive’s consent:  (a) a material reduction in Executive’s duties or responsibilities (e.g., a reduction in Executive’s responsibilities such that Executive is no longer the senior-most finance executive of the parent company of the Company group); or (b) Company’s material change in the location of the Company office where Executive works (i.e., relocation to a location outside the New York, New York metropolitan area), provided however, that Executive must provide the Company with written notice of the existence of the change constituting Good Reason within sixty (60) days of any such event having occurred, and allow the Company  thirty (30) days to cure the same.  If Company so cures the change, Executive shall not have a basis for terminating his/her employment for Good Reason with respect to such cured change.  In addition, in the event a change occurs that triggers Executive’s right to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason, Executive must exercise his right in writing to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason within ninety (90) days of the effective date of the applicable change or upon the change becoming known to him or such right shall be deemed waived.

		
	2.
	If Company terminates Executive’s employment and this Agreement not for Cause, or if Executive terminates his employment and this Agreement for Good Reason then the following payments (“Severance Payment”) will be made:

(a)   Subject to paragraph 3 immediately below, on the Release Deadline (as defined below), Company will commence to pay Executive Executive’s annual base salary for the longer of (i) the balance of the Term of Employment, (ii) fifty-two (52) weeks, or (iii) the number of weeks of severance to which the Executive would have been entitled had the Company’s then-current redundancy severance plan applied to Executive’s termination (the “Base Salary Continuation”).  In the event the period of Base Salary Continuation is calculated under Section 2(a)(ii) or 2(a)(iii) of this paragraph and the Company relieves the Executive of all of Executive’s work responsibilities for some period of time prior to the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment, this period of “garden leave” shall be offset against the number of weeks of Base Salary Continuation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Base Salary Continuation may in no event be less than thirteen (13) weeks.  
The Base Salary Continuation shall be paid in substantially equal increments on regular Company paydays, less required deductions and withholdings, until the balance is paid in full.  
(b) Executive will be paid (i) the prorated portion of his bonus under the Company’s incentive or bonus plan for the year in which the termination occurs (the “Prorated Bonus”), and (ii) an additional bonus amount equal to Executive’s unprorated annual bonus, at target. The bonus/incentive payment portion of the Severance Payment will be paid in the year following the calendar year in which the termination occurs on the date that Company pays bonuses/incentive payments to its other executives at Executive’s level in the Company (on or before March 15 of the calendar year following the year of termination), and the Prorated Bonus shall be subject to satisfying the performance conditions of the bonus/incentive plan and the terms and conditions of the actual bonus/incentive plan in effect at the time.   
		
	3.
	No Severance Payment will be made if Executive fails to sign a release in the form attached hereto. Such release must be executed and become effective within the sixty (60) calendar day period following the date of Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A (the last day of such period being the “Release Deadline”).  No Severance Payment will be made if Executive violates the provisions of Section VI hereof, in which case all Severance Payment shall cease, and those already made shall be forfeited.

		
	4.
	Company agrees that if, at the time Executive is Terminated not For Cause, or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, Company has a standard severance policy in effect that would be applicable in the absence of this Agreement (i.e., applicable to the circumstances surrounding the termination) and that would result in Executive’s receiving a sum greater than this Severance Payment, Executive will receive whichever is the greater of these two payments; provided, that if (i) the standard severance policy would provide for a sum greater than the Severance Payment, and (ii) the payment schedule under the Severance Policy is different from the payment schedules for the Severance Payment and would result in an impermissible acceleration or delay in payment in violation of the time and manner of payment requirements of Section 409A, then the payment schedule provided in the Company’s standard severance policy shall only apply to the portion of the amount payable under the standard severance policy that exceeds the Severance Payment.    

		
	5.
	If Executive terminates this Agreement before the Term of Employment has expired for a reason other than those stated in Section IV(D)(1) hereof, it will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.  Executive agrees that, in that event, in addition to any other rights and remedies which Company may have as a result of such breach, he will forfeit all right and obligations to be compensated for any remaining portion of his annualized base salary, Severance Payment, bonus/incentive payment that may otherwise be due under this Agreement, pursuant to other Company plans or policies, or otherwise, except as may be required by law.  Executive further agrees that this breach would cause substantial harm to the Company’s business and prospects.  Executive agrees that Executive committing this breach shall mean that he owes Company the prompt payment of cash equivalent to six (6) months of base salary (on a gross basis before taxes).  Furthermore, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the full damages for Executive’s breach are not subject to calculation and that the amount owed under the preceding sentence, therefore, will only reimburse Company for a portion of the damage done.  For this reason, Company shall remain entitled to recover from Executive any and all damages Company has suffered and, in addition, Company will be entitled to injunctive relief.  The parties agree that the repayment described in this Section IV(D) is expressly not Company’s exclusive or sole remedy.

		
	E.
	Right To Offset.  In the event that Executive secures employment or any consulting or contractor or business arrangement for services he performs during the period that any payment from Company is continuing under Section IV(D) hereof, Executive shall have the obligation to timely notify Company of the source and amount of payment (“Offset Income”).  Company shall have the right to reduce the amounts it would otherwise have to pay Executive by the Offset Income.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that any deferred compensation for his services from another source that are performed while receiving Severance Payment from Company, will be treated as Offset Income (regardless of when Executive chooses to receive such compensation).  In addition, to the extent that Executive’s compensation arrangement for the services include elements that are required to be paid later in the term of the arrangement (e.g., bonus or other payments that are earned in full or part based on performance or service requirements for  the period during which the Severance Payment is made), the Company may calculate the Offset Income by annualizing or by using any other reasonable methodology to attribute the later payments to the applicable period of the Severance Payment.  Executive agrees to provide Company with information sufficient to determine the calculation of the Offset Income, including compensation excerpts of any employment agreement or other contract for services, Form W-2s, and any other documentation that the Company reasonably may require, and that failure timely to provide notice to the Company of Offset Income or to respond to inquiries from Company regarding any such Offset Income shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.  Executive also agrees that Company shall have the right to inquire of third party individuals and entities regarding potential Offset Income and to inform such parties of Company’s right of offset under this Agreement with Executive.  Accordingly, Executive agrees that no further Severance Payment from Company will be made until or unless this breach is cured and that all payments from Company already made to Executive, during the time he failed to disclose his Offset Income, shall be forfeited and must be returned to Company upon its demand. Any offsets made by the Company pursuant to this Section IV(E) shall be made at the same time and in the same amount as a Severance Payment amount is otherwise payable (applying the Offset Income to the Company’s payments in the order each are paid) so as not to accelerate or delay the payment of any Severance Payment installment.  Furthermore, in the event that Executive provides Competitive Services during the first six months after the expiration of the Restricted Period (both as defined in Section VI), and fails to obtain the Company’s prior written consent to do so, Executive shall not be entitled to any Severance Payment during any period of such six-month period in which he is providing Competitive Services.

		
	F.
	Mitigation. In the event of termination of employment pursuant to Section IV(D) herein, and during the period that any payment from Company is continuing or due under Section IV(D), Executive shall be under a continuing obligation to seek other employment, including taking all reasonable steps to identify and apply for any comparable, available jobs for which Executive is qualified.  At the Company's request, Executive may be required to furnish to the Company proof that Executive has engaged in efforts consistent with this paragraph, and Executive agrees to comply with any such request.  Executive further agrees that the Company may follow-up with reasonable inquiries to third parties to confirm Executive’s mitigation efforts.  Should the Company determine in good faith that Executive failed to take reasonable steps to secure alternative employment consistent with this paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to cease any payments due to Executive pursuant to Section IV(D)(2).

V.CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
		
	A.
	Executive acknowledges his fiduciary duty to Company.  As a condition of employment, Executive agrees to protect and hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Company all confidential information, knowledge or data, including the terms of this Agreement and, without limitation, all trade secrets relating to Company or any of its subsidiaries, and their respective businesses, (i) obtained by the Executive during his employment by Company or otherwise and (ii) that is not otherwise publicly known (other than by reason of an unauthorized act by the Executive).  After termination of the Executive's employment with Company, Executive shall not communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than Company and those designated by it, without the prior written consent of Company.

		
	B.
	In the event that Executive is compelled, pursuant to a subpoena or other order of a court or other body having jurisdiction over such matter, to produce any information relevant to Company, whether confidential or not, Executive agrees to provide Company with written notice of this subpoena or order so that Company may timely move to quash if appropriate.

		
	C.
	Executive also agrees to cooperate with Company in any legal action for which his participation is needed.  Company agrees to try to schedule all such meetings so that they do not unduly interfere with Executive's pursuits after he is no longer in Company’s employ.

VI.RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
		
	A.
	Executive covenants that during his employment with Company and, for a period of twelve (12) months after the conclusion of Executive’s employment with Company (the “Restricted Period”), he will not, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any entity or individual, engage in the following activities within the Restricted Territory:  any business activities involving nonfiction, scripted, sports, lifestyle, or general entertainment television (whether in cable, broadcast, free to air, or any other distribution method), or business activities otherwise competitive with any area of the Company for which Executive had direct and material management responsibilities during the three years prior to the termination date (“Competitive Services”).  The Restricted Territory is the United States and any other country for which the Executive had management responsibility (e.g., supervised employees located in that country or was involved in business or programming operations in that country) at any time during the three (3) years prior to the Executive’s separation from employment.  This provision shall not prevent Executive from owning stock in any publicly-traded company.   Executive agrees that this Section VI (A) is a material part of this Agreement, breach of which will cause Company irreparable harm and damages, the loss of which cannot be adequately compensated at law.  In the event that the provisions of this paragraph should ever be deemed to exceed the limitations permitted by applicable laws, Executive and Company agree that such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum limitations permitted by the applicable laws.  In the event that the Executive is placed on “garden leave” pursuant to Section IV (D) prior to separation and the period of Base Salary Continuation is less than twelve months, the Restricted Period shall be twelve months or the period of Base Salary Continuation, whichever is shorter.

		
	B.
	If Executive wishes to pursue Competitive Services during the Restricted Period and to obtain the written consent of the Company before doing so, Executive may request consent from the Company by providing written evidence, including assurances from Executive and his potential employer, that the fulfillment of Executive’s duties in such proposed work or activity would not involve any use, disclosure, or reliance upon the confidential information or trade secrets of the Company.

		
	C.
	During his employment and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the conclusion of Executive's employment with Company, Executive covenants that he will not directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, interfere with otherwise attempt to entice, any employees of Company or its subsidiary and affiliated companies to leave their employment. 

		
	D.
	During his employment and for a twelve (12) month period following the conclusion of Executive's employment with Company, Executive covenants that he will not directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, interfere with or otherwise attempt to entice, solicit, induce or encourage any vendor, producer, independent contractor, or business partner to terminate its business relationship with Company or its subsidiary and affiliated companies.        

		
	E.
	During the period Executive is employed by Company, Executive covenants and agrees not to engage in any other business activities whatsoever, or to directly or indirectly render services of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other business entity or organization, regardless of whether Executive is compensated for these services.  The only exception to this provision is if Executive obtains the prior written consent of Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

		
	F.
	Throughout the period that Executive is an employee of Company, Executive agrees to disclose to Company any direct investments (i.e., an investment in which Executive has made the decision to invest in a particular company) he has in a company that is a competitor of Company (“Competitor”) or that Company is doing business with during the Term of Employment (“Partner”), if such direct investments result in Executive or Executive’s immediate family members, and/or a trust established by Executive or Executive’s immediate family members, owning five percent or more of such a Competitor or Partner.  This Section VI(F) shall not prohibit Executive, however, from making passive investments (i.e., where Executive does not make the decision to invest in a particular company, even if those mutual funds, in turn, invest in such a Competitor or Partner).  Regardless of the nature of Executive’s investments, Executive herein agrees that his investments may not materially interfere with Executive’s obligations and ability to provide services under this Agreement.

		
	G.
	If Company offers to renew this Agreement, Executive declines such renewal offer from the Company, and Executive terminates employment at the end of the Term of Employment, Executive will be eligible for a Noncompetition Payment.   Provided that Executive signs a release in the form attached hereto, and such release is executed and becomes effective on or before the Release Deadline (as defined in Section IV(D)(2)), on the Release Deadline, Company will commence to pay Executive an amount equal to 50% of Executive’s annual base salary for the Restricted Period.  The Noncompetition Payment shall be paid in substantially equal increments on regular Company paydays, less required deductions and withholdings, until the balance is paid in full, provided that Executive complies with the provisions of this Section VI.  

		
	H.
	In the event that Executive violates any provision of this Section VI, in addition to any injunctive relief and damages to which Executive acknowledges Company would be entitled, all Severance Payment or Noncompetition Payment to Executive, if any, shall cease, and those already made will be forfeited.

VII.ARBITRATION
		
	A.
	Submission To Arbitration.  Company and Executive agree to submit to arbitration all claims, disputes, issues or controversies between Company and Executive or between Executive and other employees of Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively "Claims") directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of Executive's employment with Company or the termination of such employment including, but not limited to 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 Employee Retirement Income Security Act, any Claim arising out of this Agreement, and any similar federal, state or local law, statute, regulation or common law doctrine.

Any arbitration, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deemed an arbitration proceeding subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.

		
	C.
	Binding Effect.  Arbitration will be binding and will afford parties the same options for damage awards as would be available in court.  Executive and Company agree that discovery will be allowed and all discovery disputes will be decided exclusively by arbitration.

		
	D.
	Damages and Costs.  Any damages shall be awarded only in accord with applicable law.  The arbitrator may only order reinstatement of the Executive if money damages are insufficient.  The parties shall share equally in all fees and expenses of arbitration.  However, each party shall bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of proof.

VIII.CONTROLLING LAW AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

	Section 409A of the Code.  

		
	1.
	It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”), and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability with regard to any failure to comply with Code Section 409A so long as it has acted in good faith with regard to compliance therewith.

		
	2.
	If under this Agreement, an amount is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment.

		
	3.
	A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “resignation,” “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean Separation from Service.  

		
	4.
	If Executive is deemed on the date of termination of his employment to be a “specified employee”, within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology, then: 

		
	a.
	With regard to any payment, the providing of any benefit or any distribution of equity upon separation from service that constitutes “deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A, such payment, benefit or distribution shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death; and

		
	b.
	On the first day of the seventh month following the date of Executive’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, on the date of his death, (x) all payments delayed pursuant to this Section VIII(G)(4) (whether they would otherwise have 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 dates specified from them herein and (y) all distributions of equity delayed pursuant to this Section VIII(H)(4) shall be made to Executive.

		
	5.
	With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, of in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be violated without regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred. 

		
	6.
	Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date of termination), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.          

		
	H.
	This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs (in the case of the Executive) and assigns.  The rights or obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by either party, except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the continuing entity, or the sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; provided, however, that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and such assignee or transferee assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company, as contained in this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law.

		
	I.
	This Agreement may be executed with electronic signatures, in any number of counterparts, as shall subsequently be executed with actual signatures.

AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE
This Agreement and General Release (“Release”) is entered into by and between Discovery Communications, LLC (“Company”) and ________________ (“Executive”) to resolve any and all disputes concerning his employment with Company and his separation from employment on __________________.  Accordingly, in exchange for the consideration and mutual promises set forth herein, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
1.  Effective close of business ________________, Executive’s employment with Company will terminate, and all salary continuation and benefits will cease other than those to which Executive is entitled in consideration for this Release as set forth in Executive’s Employment Agreement with Company (“Agreement”), which is incorporated by reference, and as a matter of law (e.g., COBRA benefits).
2.  In consideration for Executive’s executing this Release of any and all legal claims he might have against the Discovery Parties (as defined below), and the undertakings described herein, and to facilitate his transition to other employment, Company agrees to provide Executive with the consideration detailed in Section IV(D) (“Severance Payment”) of the Agreement.
3.  Neither Company nor Executive admits any wrongdoing of any kind, and both agree that neither they nor anyone acting on their behalf will disclose this Release, or its terms and conditions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive is not barred from disclosing this Release to his legal, financial and personal advisors or to those persons essential for Executive to (a) implement or enforce his rights under this Release and the Agreement in which the Release is incorporated; (b) defend himself in a lawsuit, investigation or administrative proceeding; (c) file tax returns; or (d) advise a prospective employer, business partner or insurer of the contractual restrictions on his post-Company employment.
4.  In exchange for the undertakings by Company described in the above paragraphs:
a.  Executive, for himself, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, does hereby release, acquit and forever discharge Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and related entities, as well as all of their respective officers, shareholders, shareholder representatives, directors, members, partners, trustees, employees, attorneys, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Discovery Parties”), from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, liabilities, obligations, covenants, contracts, promises, agreements, controversies, costs, expenses, debts, dues, or attorneys’ fees of every name and nature, whether known or unknown, without limitation, at law, in equity or administrative, against the Discovery Parties that he may have had, now has or may have against the Discovery Parties by reason of any matter or thing arising from the beginning of the world to the day and date of this Release, including any claim relating to the termination of his employment with any Discovery Party.  Those claims, demands, liabilities and obligations from which Executive releases the Discovery Parties include, but are not limited to, any claim, demand or action, known or unknown, arising out of any transaction, act or omission related to Executive’s employment by any Discovery Party and Executive’s separation from such employment, sounding in tort or contract and/or any cause of action arising under federal, state or local statute or ordinance or common law, including, but not limited to, the federal Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Maryland Human Rights Act, as well as any similar state or local statute(s), in each case as any such law may be amended from time to time. The foregoing shall, in accordance with applicable law, not prohibit or prevent Executive from filing a Charge with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and/or any state or local agency equivalent, and/or prohibit or prevent Executive from participating in any investigation of any Charge filed by others, albeit that he understands and agrees that he shall not be entitled to seek monetary compensation for himself from the filing and/or participation in any such Charge.
b.  Executive expressly acknowledges that his attorney has advised him regarding, and he is familiar with the fact that certain state statutes provide that general releases do not extend to claims that the releasor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time he executes such a release, which if known to him may have materially affected his execution of the release.  Being aware of such statutes, Executive hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any rights or benefits he may have under such statutes, as well as any other state or federal statutes or common law principles of similar effect, and hereby acknowledges that no claim or cause of action against any Discovery Party shall be deemed to be outside the scope of this Release whether mentioned herein or not.  Executive also specifically knowingly waives the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which reads: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Civil Code Section 1542 stated above and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Discovery Parties, Executive expressly acknowledges that this Agreement is specifically intended to include in its effect all claims that he does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time he signs this Agreement.
c.  Executive hereby acknowledges that he is executing this Release pursuant to the Agreement, and that the consideration to be provided to Executive pursuant to Section IV(D) of the Agreement is in addition to what he would have been entitled to receive in the absence of this Release.  Executive hereby acknowledges that he is executing this Release voluntarily and with full knowledge of all relevant information and any and all rights he may have.  Executive hereby acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with an independent attorney of his own choosing in connection with this Release to explain to him the legal effect of the terms and conditions of this Release and that Executive has consulted such an attorney for such purpose.  Executive acknowledges that he has read this Release in its entirety.  Executive further states that he fully understands the terms of this Release and that the only promises made to him in return for signing this Release are stated herein and in the Agreement in which this Release is incorporated.  Executive hereby acknowledges that he is voluntarily and knowingly agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Release without any threats, coercion or duress, whether economic or otherwise, and that Executive agrees to be bound by the terms of this Release.  Executive acknowledges that he has been given twenty-one (21) days to consider this Release, and that if Executive is age forty (40) or over, Executive understands that he has seven (7) days following his execution of this Release in which to revoke his agreement to comply with this Release by providing written notice of revocation to the General Counsel of Company no later than three business days following such period.
d.    Executive further hereby covenants and agrees that this General Release shall be binding in all respects upon himself, his heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and transferees and all persons claiming under them, and shall inure to the benefit of all of the officers, directors, agents, employees, stockholders, members and partners and successors in interest of Company, as well as all parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related entities and representatives of any of the foregoing persons and entities.
e.    Executive agrees that he will not disparage any Discovery Party or make or publish any communication that reflects adversely upon any of them, including communications concerning Company itself and its current or former directors, officers, employees or agents.
5.      a.    If any provision of this Release is found to be invalid, unenforceable or void for any reason, such provision shall be severed from the Release and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
b.    Company and Executive agree that this Release, consisting of three (3) pages, and the Agreement in which this Release is incorporated, constitutes the entire agreement between them.  The parties further warrant that they enter into this Release freely.
c.     This Release shall be interpreted, enforced and governed by the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.

ISSUE DATE: OCTOBER 27th, 2014

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $165,000.00

 

DOMINOVAS ENERGY CORPORATION

PROMISSORY NOTE DUE OCTOBER 27th, 2015

THIS Note is a duly authorized issuance of up to $165,000.00 of DOMINOVAS ENERGY CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (the "Company") designated as its Note.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to KODIAK CAPITAL GROUP, LLC, the registered holder hereof (the "Holder"), the principal sum of one hundred sixty five thousand and 00/100 Dollars (US $165,000.00) on October 27th, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”). The principal of this Note is payable in United States dollars, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder. The Company will pay the outstanding principal amount of this Note in cash on the Maturity Date to the registered holder of this Note. The forwarding of such wire transfer shall constitute a payment hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer plus any amounts so deducted.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

1.             The Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Note of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange.

 

2.             The Holder of this Note is entitled any time after April 28th, 2015, subject to the following provisions, to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note into shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by fifty percent (50%) (the “Conversion Price”). “Current Market Price” means the lowest closing bid price for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the thirty (30) trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date (as defined below). The amount of shares issuable pursuant to a conversion shall equal the principal amount (or portion thereof) of the Note to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price.

Conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering the Note to the Company, accompanied by or preceded by email or other delivery to the Company of the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder's intention to convert a specified portion hereof. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The date on which notice of conversion is given (the "Conversion Date") shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder emails or otherwise delivers the conversion notice ("Notice of Conversion"), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed, to the Company. Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion will be delivered within one (1) business days from the Conversion Date (“Delivery Date”).

 

  

  

  

 

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand as the Holder’s remedy for such delay. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares by close of business on the Delivery Date, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that an amount equal to any payments contemplated by this Section which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Converting Holder notwithstanding such revocation.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note being converted (a “Converting Holder”) purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by  the Converting Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Converting Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Converting Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x)  the Converting Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Converting Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Shares issuable upon conversion, provided the Company’s Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefore do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

The Holder of the Note shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Note notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of such holder’s conversion privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Note. This Note has been issued subject to investment representations of the original purchaser hereof and may 

 

  

2

  

 

be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and other applicable state and foreign securities laws. In the event of any proposed transfer of this Note, the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new Note in the name of such other person, that it receive reasonable transfer documentation including legal opinions that the issuance of the Note in such other name does not and will not cause a violation of the Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

4.             No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation of the Company.

 

5.             The Holder of the Note, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Note is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.

6.             This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the City of New York or the state courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this Note and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non coveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. Each of the parties hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising under this Note.

 

7.             The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":

a.             The Company shall default in the payment of principal on this Note and same shall continue for a period of five (5) days; or

b.             Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any material respect at the time made; or

c.             The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect, any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of any Note and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of five (5) days after written notice from the Holder of such failure; or

 

d.             The Company fails to authorize or to cause its Transfer Agent to issue the Shares upon exercise by the Holder through a Notice of conversion in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any certificate for Shares issued to the Holder upon conversion of this Note and when required by this Note, and such transfer is otherwise lawful, or fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or fails to cause its Transfer Agent to remove such restricted legend, in each case where such removal is lawful, as and when required by this Note, and any such failure shall continue uncured for five (5) business days; or

  

3

  

 

e.             The Company shall (1) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or (2) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; or

f.             A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or

g.             Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or

h.             Any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment, or similar process in excess of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars in the aggregate shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of thirty

(30) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

i.             Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the Company shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding; or

j.             The Company shall have its Common Stock suspended or delisted from an exchange from trading for in excess of fifteen trading days.

Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider all obligations under this Note immediately due and payable within five (5) days of notice, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.

8.             The Holder may not convert this Note to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Note that would result in the issuance of in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, without regard to any other 

 

  

4

  

 

shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

9.             Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the  extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.
