Cash Fees:

 

	

a.

	

The Financing Fees. At each Closing, the Client shall pay Laidlaw a cash fee equal in the aggregate to 10% (ten percent) of the gross proceeds delivered on a Closing Date; Client shall also be obligated to pay Laidlaw at each Closing in cash a non-allocable expense reimbursement equal to 2% (two percent) of the gross amount raised in a Closing. Client shall also pay Laidlaw per the same fee and expense schedule for any cash exercise of Warrants within six Months of the final closing of the Financing and a 5% (five percent) Solicitation Fee for any Warrants exercised as a result of being called for redemption by the Client. The Financing fees would exclude any fees from an Advisory Transaction for which Laidlaw is to be compensated as provided in Subparagraph c. below.

 

	

b.

	

Financial Advisory Fees. The start of the Advisory Period is conditioned upon; i) the raising of a minimum of $5,000,000 (five million) of capital for the Financing, and ii) after the Financing has been deemed closed. At the start of the Advisory Period and every month thereafter on a pro-rata basis for the term of the Advisory Period, Client will pay Laidlaw a monthly Financial Advisory fee of $25,000. If the Client extends the Advisory Period, the same monthly Advisory Fee will apply.

 

	

c.

'Blue Sky' and Legal Fees. In addition to any fees due to Laidlaw, Client will be responsible for the prompt payment of all legal fees, and filing and blue sky fees in any states in which Laidlaw reasonably requests that such filings be made in connection with the Financings. In the interest of efficiency and expense management, and because time "is of the essence", Laidlaw has agreed to use its best efforts to 'cap' the legal fees of its securities counsel to $35,000, subject to the Client's commitment to require a 'cap' on the fees of its securities counsel.

 

	

e.

	

Advisory Expenses. The Client shall pay all reasonable and necessary out of pocket expenses incurred by Laidlaw in connection with providing the financial and strategic advisory services per Section lb) and 1 c).

The Laidlaw Warrants will contain normal and customary provisions for dilution protection, cashless exercise and registration rights in respect of the Laidlaw Warrant Shares, all to be the same as provided for in respect of the Securities issued in the Offering with the exception that the Laidlaw Warrants shall have cashless exercise provisions even if the Investor Warrants do not.

iv.  

	

Subsequent Transaction: Client understands and agrees that if, within a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of this advisory engagement, the Client shall require a Financing or an Advisory Transaction ("Subsequent Transactions"), Laidlaw shall have the right to act as the Company's financial advisor and investment banker, on such Subsequent Transactions (which right Laidlaw may exercise within 30 days of the receipt of notice by the Company as well as any reasonable requested due diligence of its decision to pursue a Subsequent Transaction). If Laidlaw elects to proceed, the Client agrees to retain it under separate cover to advise it in respect to such Financing or Advisory Transaction, subject to the execution of a mutually acceptable separate agreement which shall include terms customary for the type of Subsequent Transaction being sought and compensation per the fee schedule below. An Advisory Transaction without limitation is a merger, acquisition, licensing transaction or its equivalent other than those conducted in the ordinary course of the Clients' business; a sale, or exchange of assets (other than those sold, assigned or exchanged in the ordinary course of its business) or shares for cash (other than cash raised in a financing transaction) or for other consideration (other than consideration paid for services in the ordinary course of business).

The Client further agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Laidlaw, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not Laidlaw or any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such Proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of Laidlaw and each other Indemnified Party hereunder from all liability arising out of such Proceeding.

 

Laidlaw will indemnify and hold harmless the Client, its officers, directors, employees and each person, if any, who controls the Client within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") against, and pay or reimburse any such person for, any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or actions, proceedings or investigations in respect thereof) to which the Client or any such person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, whether such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions, proceedings or investigations in respect thereof) shall result from any claim of the Client, any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, any person who controls the Client within the meaning of the Act or any third party, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities resulted directly from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Memorandum but not if such statement or omission was included in the Memorandum based upon specific written information furnished to the Client by Laidlaw (or any of its controlling persons, officers, directors, employees or affiliates or their respective agents) which Laidlaw expressly in writing informed the Client that such information was for use in the Memorandum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Laidlaw's indemnification obligation hereunder exceed the amount of Laidlaw's cash fees and commissions actually received by it in connection with the Offering.

 

  

13

  

 

Each party agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Agreement were for any reason not to be available to the other party or insufficient to hold it harmless as and to the extent contemplated by this letter, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the indemnifying party on the one hand, and the indemnified party on the other, in connection with the matters to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative faults of such parties as well as any other equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Client and to Laidlaw with respect to Laidlaw's engagement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total value paid or received or to be paid or received by the Client pursuant to the matters (whether or not consummated) for which Laidlaw is engaged to render services bears to (ii) the Fees and Commissions paid to the Laidlaw in connection with such engagement.

 

The indemnity, reimbursement, contribution provisions set forth herein shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any withdrawal, termination or consummation of or failure to initiate or consummate any matter referred to herein, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto or any person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any party hereto, (iii) any termination or the completion or expiration of this Agreement and (iv) whether or not Laidlaw shall, or shall not, be called upon to render any formal or informal advice in the course of the engagement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all payments to which the Executive is entitled under this Section 6 are conditioned upon and subject to the Executive's execution of a general waiver and release, in such form as may be prepared by the Company's attorneys, of all claims and issues arising under the Employment Agreement, except for such matters covered by provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 6, the Company shall have no further obligation or liability under this Agreement following a termination of employment by the Executive.

7.             Non-Competition.

 

(a)     The Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates and accordingly agrees as follows:

 

(i)   During the Employment Term and, for a period ending on the expiration of three years following the termination of the Executive's employment (the "Restricted Period"), the Executive will not directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any business for the Executive's own account that competes with the business of the Company, (ii) enter the employ of, or render any services to, any person engaged in any business that competes with the business of the Company, (iii) acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any person engaged in any business that competes with the business of the Company, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant, or (iv) interfere with business relationships (whether formed before or after the date of this Agreement) between the Company or any of its Affiliates that are engaged in a business similar to the business of the company and customers or suppliers of the Company or its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, an "Affiliate" of the Company shall mean any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the Company.

  

5

  

 

(ii)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Executive may directly or indirectly own, solely as an investment, securities of any person engaged in the business of the Company which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if the Executive (i) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person and (ii) does not, directly or indirectly, own one percent (1%) or more of any class of securities of such person.

 

(iii)  During the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or its Affiliates to leave the employment of the Company or its Affiliates, or (ii) hire any such employee who has left the employment of the Company or its Affiliates (other than as a result of the termination of such employment by the Company or its Affiliates) within one year after the termination of such employee's employment with the Company or its Affiliates.

(b)     It is expressly understood and agreed that although the Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 7 to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against the Executive, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein.

8.              Confidentiality.

 

The Executive will not at any time (whether during or after his employment with the Company) disclose (other than as required in the fulfillment of his duties as an officer of the Company, or otherwise required for the business or other objectives of the Company or its Affiliates) or use for his own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise other than the Company and any of its Affiliates, any trade secrets, information, data, or other confidential information relating to research and development, medical processes, patent know-how, customers, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and financial data, manufacturing processes, financing methods, plans, or the business and affairs of the Company generally, or of any Affiliate of the Company; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) information which is not unique to the Company or which is generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result of the Executive's breach of this covenant, and (ii) disclosures which are required by law. The Executive agrees that upon termination of his employment with the Company for any reason, he will return to the Company immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the business of the Company and its Affiliates, except that he may retain personal notes, notebooks and diaries. The Executive further agrees that he will not retain or use for his account at any time any trade names, trademark or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business of the Company or its Affiliates.

The Executive agrees to, and hereby does, assign to the Company, without any further consideration, all of the Executive's right, title and interest throughout the world in and to all Developments. The Executive agrees that all such Developments that are copyrightable may constitute works made for hire under the copyright laws of the United States and, as such, acknowledges that the Company or one of its Affiliates, as the case may be, is the author of such Developments and owns all of the rights comprised in the copyright of such Developments and the Executive hereby assigns to the Company without any further consideration all of the rights comprised in the copyright and other proprietary rights the Executive may have in any such Development to the extent that it might not be considered a work made for hire. The Executive shall make and maintain adequate and current written records of all Developments and shall disclose all Developments promptly, fully and in writing to the Company promptly after development of the same, and at any time upon request.

10.          Specific Performance.

 

The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company's remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be enti­tled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

 

11.           Indemnification.

 

To the maximum extent allowed by the law of the State of Delaware, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) which may, at any time, be suffered by the Executive as a result of the fact that the Executive is or was an employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company. The expenses incurred by the Executive in any proceeding shall be paid promptly by the Company in advance of the final disposition of any proceeding, at the written request of the Executive to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.
