    EMPLOYMENT
      AGREEMENT

     

    This
      Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of January 31, 2008,
      by and between ForgeHouse, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and John
      Britchford-Steel (“Employee”). The parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    1. Employment
      and Duties.
      The
      Company shall employ Employee in the position of Chief Executive Officer (or
      such other position of similar rank as may be assigned to him by the Company’s
      Board of Directors). Employee shall report directly to the Board of Directors
      (or such persons designated by the Board of Directors) and shall perform all
      duties and obligations typically performed by a person in such position,
      including, without limitation, those certain duties and obligations stated
      on
      Exhibit A hereto (or such other duties assigned to Employee from time to time
      by
      the Board of Directors). Employee shall devote his full business time,
      attention, and energies exclusively to the business and interests of the Company
      and to the performance of his duties and obligations under this
      Agreement.

     

    2. Term
      of Agreement.
      Subject
      to the provisions of Section 4, Employee and the Company retain the right to
      terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, and with
      or
      without Cause (as defined in Section 4.1.1), and with or without notice. Nothing
      in this Agreement shall be deemed to alter the at-will nature of Employee’s
      employment with the Company, and the at-will nature of Employee’s employment
      shall not otherwise be modified except in a writing in accordance with Section
      9
      hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and
      10 of
      the Agreement shall survive, and continue in full force and effect, after any
      termination or expiration of this Agreement, irrespective of the reason for
      the
      termination or any claim that the termination was wrongful or
      illegal.

     

    3. Compensation
      and Other Benefits.
      The
      Company shall provide the following compensation and other benefits to Employee
      in consideration of Employee’s performance of all of his obligations under this
      Agreement:

     

    3.1 Base
      Salary.
      Subject
      to the provisions of Section 4, the Company shall pay to Employee an annual
      base
      salary (the “Base Salary”) of $108,000, less applicable withholdings. The Base
      Salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s ordinary payroll
      practices in effect during the period of Employee’s employment with the
      Company.

     

    3.2 Incentive
      Compensation.
      For
      each fiscal year of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall be
      eligible to earn a bonus (“Incentive Compensation”), the amount of which, if
      any, shall be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
      Incentive Compensation, if any, shall be paid to Employee within forty-five
      (45)
      days after the Company’s audited financial statements have been issued for the
      fiscal year in which such Incentive Compensation was earned. Incentive
      Compensation will not be considered earned for a particular fiscal year unless
      Employee is employed with the Company on April 1 immediately following the
      close
      of that fiscal year. Employee acknowledges and agrees that if his employment
      with the Company is terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2 or 4.3
      below before the Incentive Compensation is considered earned, Employee shall
      not
      be eligible for payment of Incentive Compensation for the fiscal year in which
      the termination is effective. Any provision to the contrary notwithstanding,
      the
      Company will make all payments under this arrangement not later than 2 1⁄2 months
      after the end of the calendar year in which the payments are no longer subject
      to a substantial risk of forfeiture; provided that if calculation of the payment
      amount is not administratively practicable due to events beyond the employee’s
      control or if the Company has insufficient funds so that such payment would
      jeopardize the solvency of the Company, the payment may be delayed until the
      first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable and
      the
      funds of the Company are sufficient.

    3.3 Stock
      Option Plan.
      Employee shall be eligible to participate in any stock option plan as currently
      adopted or may be adopted by the Company and approved by the Company’s Board of
      Directors in its sole and absolute discretion (“Stock Option Plan”). Employee
      shall be granted, subject to compliance with all state and federal securities
      laws and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan,
      a
      stock options
      to purchase an aggregate of  341,000 shares of the common stock authorized
      for issuance under the Stock Option Plan pursuant to a vesting schedule. The
      proposed forms
      of
      grant and vesting schedules are
      attached hereto as Exhibit B.

     

    3.4 Fringe
      Benefits.
      As
      additional compensation under this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to
      receive the following benefits (the “Fringe Benefits”):

     

    3.4.1 Employee
      Benefit Plans.
      The
      Company shall allow Employee to participate in such group medical, health,
      pension, welfare, and insurance plans (the “Employee Benefit Plans”) maintained
      by the Company from time to time for the general benefit of its employees of
      similar rank, as such Employee Benefit Plans may be modified from time to time
      in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

     

    3.4.2 Other
      Benefits.
      The
      Company shall provide Employee with all other benefits and perquisites as are
      made generally available to the Company’s employees of similar rank under the
      Company’s Employee Handbook, as such Employee Handbook may be modified from time
      to time in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

     

    3.4.3 Vacation.
      Employee
      shall be entitled to such vacation time as is generally made available to the
      Company’s employees of similar rank under the Company’s employment policies, as
      such employment policies may be modified from time to time in the Company’s sole
      and absolute discretion; provided,
      however,
      that in
      no event shall Employee accrue vacation time at a rate which is less than three
      (3) weeks per year; provided,
      further,
      that
      Employee may not accrue more than two times Employee’s annual vacation
      allotment. Employee will cease accruing vacation if Employee reaches the maximum
      accrual amount, and will commence accruing vacation again only after Employee
      has used enough vacation to fall below the maximum.

     

    3.4.4 Reimbursement
      of Business Expenses.
      The
      Company shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable travel, entertainment and
      other expenses incurred by Employee in connection with the performance of his
      duties under this Agreement, upon submission by Employee to Company of
      reasonable documentation pertaining to such expenses. The Employee agrees to
      provide to the Company such information as may be reasonably necessary to
      substantiate any reimbursement or payment of the fees, costs and expenses
      described in this subsection at such time as is consistent with Company policy
      but in no event later than 30 days following the close of the calendar year
      in
      which such fee, cost or expense is incurred. Upon receipt of such
      substantiation, the Company shall pay or reimburse the fees, costs and expenses
      described in this subsection promptly in accordance with Company policy but
      in
      no event later than 2 1⁄2 months following the close of the calendar year in which
      such fee, cost or expense was incurred by the Employee. The amount of expenses
      eligible for reimbursement in a calendar year will not affect the amount
      eligible for reimbursement in another calendar year.

     

    3.5 Deferred
      Compensation.
      Any
      deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal
      Revenue Code (“Section 409A”)) payable under this Agreement on account of
      Employee’s separation from service shall not commence prior to six months
      following such separation if Employee is a specified employee (within the
      meaning of Section 409A); provided,
      however,
      that,
      in determining whether Employee is a specified employee, any compensation
      realized on account of the exercise of a stock option or a disqualifying
      disposition of stock acquired through the exercise of an incentive stock option
      shall be disregarded.

      Section 4.1.1), and with or without notice, subject to the provisions of
      Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. “Terminate,” as used in this Agreement to determine
      the date of any payment, shall mean the date of the Employee’s “separation from

      Base Salary, Incentive Compensation or Fringe Benefits in the event Employee’s
      employment is terminated for Cause, except that Employee may continue to
      participate in the Employee Benefit Plans to the extent permitted by and in
      accordance with the terms thereof or as otherwise required by law. As used
      in
      this Agreement, “Cause” shall be defined as any of the following that has a

      breach by the Employee of any terms and conditions set forth in any
      non-competition, non-solicitation and/or non-disclosure agreement executed
      by
      the Employee. A determination of Cause shall be made by the Board of Directors
      of the Company. With regard to clauses (a) through (c) and (k), Employee may
      cure such breach within thirty (30) days of Employee’s receipt of written notice
      from the Company; provided,
      however,
      that
      such cure period shall not be applicable if, in the case of clause (a) or (k),

      is not capable of being fully cured; provided,
      further,
      that,
      upon the second occurrence of a breach of under clauses (a) through (c) or

    4.1.2 Termination
      Without Cause.
      If
      Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause, Employee shall receive:
      (i)
      payment of Employee’s Base Salary through and including the date of termination;

      in
      accordance with Section 3.4.4. In addition, Employee shall be eligible to
      receive a severance payment equal to six months of Employee’s most recent Base
      Salary, less applicable withholdings, provided Employee signs a general release
      of all claims in a form approved by the Board of Directors. The severance pay
      described in this Section 4.1.2 shall be paid in the ordinary course as if
      Employee were still employed by the Company for such term as is required to
      pay
      in-full such amount. 

     

    4.2 Termination
      upon Death or Permanent Disability.
      This
      Agreement will terminate automatically on Employee’s death or if Employee
      becomes Permanently Disabled (as defined below). In the event of such
      termination, Employee, or his beneficiary or estate, shall be entitled to
      receive such amounts of the Base Salary, Incentive Compensation and Fringe
      Benefits as would have been payable to Employee under a termination without
      Cause under Section 4.1.2 as of the date of death or the date as of which the
      Company has determined in its sole discretion that Employee has become
      Permanently Disabled. As used in this Agreement, “Permanently Disabled” shall
      mean the incapacity of Employee due to illness, accident, or any other reason to
      perform his duties for a period of 90 calendar days, whether or not consecutive,
      during any 12-month period, all as determined by the Company in its sole
      discretion. All Company determinations as to the date and extent of incapacity
      of Employee shall be made by the Company’s Board of Directors, upon the basis of
      such evidence, including independent medical reports and data, as the Board
      of
      Directors in its sole discretion deems necessary and desirable. All such
      determinations of the Board of Directors shall be final.

     

    4.3 Termination
      at Employee’s Election.
      Employee
      may resign from employment with the Company for any reason by providing written
      notice to the Company prior to the date selected for resignation. If Employee
      resigns from employment, Employee shall be entitled to receive only the
      following: (i) payment of Employee’s Base Salary through and including the date
      of resignation; (ii) payment
      of any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation for the prior fiscal year
      pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2; (iii) payment
      for all accrued and unused vacation time existing as of the date of resignation,
      which will be made at a rate calculated in accordance with Employee’s Base
      Salary at the time of resignation; and (iv) reimbursement of business expenses
      incurred prior to the date of resignation in accordance with Section 3.4.4.
      Except as expressly set forth in this Section 4.3, in the event Employee resigns
      from employment, Employee shall not be entitled to receive any Base Salary,
      Incentive Compensation, Fringe Benefits or other items, except that Employee
      may
      continue to participate in the Employee Benefit Plans to the extent permitted
      by
      and in accordance with the terms thereof or as otherwise required by
      law.

     

    4.4 Exercise
      of Stock Options Upon Termination.
      Any
      options granted to Employee pursuant to the Stock Option Plan as set forth
      in
      Section 3.3 shall cease vesting on the date of termination of Employee’s
      employment, and, to the extent vested on the date of termination and not
      previously exercised or expired, may be exercised by Employee in accordance
      with
      the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan.

     

    5. Assignment
      of Intellectual Property.

     

    5.1 Purpose
      of Assignment. Employee
      understands that: (i) the Company is engaged in a continuous program of
      research, development, production, and marketing in connection with its
      business; and (ii) it is critical for the Company to preserve and protect its
      “Proprietary Information” (as defined in Section 5.6 below), its rights in
“Inventions” (as defined in Section 5.2 below), and in all other
      intellectual property rights. Accordingly, Employee enters into the Agreement
      as
      a condition of employment and continued employment with the Company, whether
      or
      not Employee is expected to create inventions or other intellectual property
      of
      value for the Company.

    5.2 Disclosure
      of Inventions.
      Employee will promptly disclose in writing and in confidence to the Company
      all
      inventions, improvements, designs, original works of authorship, formulas,
      processes, compositions of matter, computer software programs (whether in source
      code or object code), databases, mask works, innovations, ideas, concepts,
      discoveries, techniques, technical data, know-how, formulas, algorithms, flow
      charts, source code, object code, and trade secrets that Employee makes or
      conceives or first reduces to practice or creates, either alone or jointly
      with
      others, during the period of Employee’s employment, whether or not in the course
      of employment, and whether or not patentable, copyrightable, or protectable
      as a
      trade secret (the “Inventions”).

     

    5.3 Assignment
      of Inventions; Work Made for Hire.
      Employee acknowledges and agrees that any copyrightable works prepared by
      Employee within the scope of employment are “works made for hire” under the
      Copyright Act and that the Company will be considered the author and owner
      of
      such copyrightable works. Employee agrees that all Inventions that (i) are
      developed using equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secrets of the Company,
      (ii) result from work performed by Employee for the Company, or
      (iii) relate to the Company’s business or actual or demonstrably
      anticipated research and development (the “Assigned Inventions”) will be the
      sole and exclusive property of the Company. Attached hereto as Exhibit C 
is a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments,
      and trade secrets that were made by Employee prior to the date of this
      Agreement, that belong to Employee, and that are not assigned to the Company
      (“Prior Inventions”). If no such list is attached, Employee agrees that it is
      because no such Prior Inventions exist. Employee
      acknowledges and agrees that if Employee uses any of Employee’s Prior Inventions
      in the scope of employment, or includes them in any product or service of the
      Company, Employee hereby grants to the Company a perpetual, irrevocable,
      nonexclusive, world-wide, royalty-free license to use, disclose, make, offer
      for
      sale, sell, import, copy, distribute, perform,
      display, modify and create derivative works based on such Prior Inventions
      and
      to sublicense third parties with the same rights.

     

    5.4 Assignment
      of Other Rights.
      To the
      extent that the Company does not own all right, title, and interest in, to,
      and
      under the Inventions, Employee agrees to assign, and does hereby irrevocably
      transfer and assign, to the Company: (i) all patents, patent applications,
      copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights
      anywhere in the world (both registered and unregistered) (“other intellectual
      property rights” includes, but not limited to, rights in databases and in any
      Assigned Inventions, along with any registrations of or applications to register
      such rights); (ii) any and all “Moral Rights” (as defined below) that
      Employee may have in or with respect to any Assigned Inventions; (iii) all
      licensing and contract rights in, to, and under any of the above; (iv) the
      right to all income, royalties, fees, damages, and payments payable in, to,
      and
      under any of the above; (v) the right to sue for present, past, and future
      infringement or misappropriation, or to otherwise enforce any rights and file
      any causes of action, in law and/or equity in, to, and under any of the above;
      and (vi) any other legal protections or rights throughout the world in, to,
      and under any of the above. Employee also hereby forever waives and agrees
      never
      to assert any and all Moral Rights that Employee may have in or with respect
      to
      any Assigned Inventions, even after termination of Employee’s work on behalf of
      the Company. “Moral Rights” means any rights to claim authorship of or credit on
      an Assigned Inventions, to object to or prevent the modification or destruction
      of any Assigned Inventions or Prior Inventions licensed to Company under Section
      5.3, or to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution
      of any Assigned Inventions or Prior Inventions licensed to Company under Section
      5.3, and any similar right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any
      country or subdivision thereof in the world, or under any treaty, regardless
      of
      whether or not such right is denominated or generally referred to as a “moral
      right.”

    To
      the
      extent that any and all of Employee’s right, title, and interest in, to, and
      under any intellectual property related to the Company Business (as defined
      in
      Section 6.1) have not been assigned, transferred over, set over, conveyed,
      and
      delivered to the Company or its predecessor, Forgehouse LLC, Employee hereby

    5.5 Assistance.
      Employee agrees to assist the Company in every proper way to obtain for the
      Company and enforce patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secret rights
      and other legal protections for the Company’s Assigned Inventions in any and all
      countries. Employee will execute any documents that the Company may reasonably
      request for use in obtaining or enforcing such patents, copyrights, mask work
      rights, trade secrets and other legal protections. Employee’s obligations under
      this paragraph will continue beyond the termination of Employee’s employment
      with the Company, provided that the Company will compensate Employee at a
      reasonable rate after such termination for time or expenses actually spent
      by
      Employee at the Company’s request on such assistance. Employee appoints the
      Company’s attorneys as Employee’s attorney-in-fact to execute documents on his
      behalf for this purpose.

      nature that may be disclosed to Employee by the Company or a third party that
      relates to the business of the Company or to the business of any parent,
      subsidiary, affiliate, customer or supplier of the Company or any other party
      with whom the Company agrees to hold information of such party in confidence
      (the “Proprietary Information”). Such Proprietary Information includes, but is

      prior to the date of termination. If, however, any of the geographic provisions
      of this Agreement are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
      unenforceable, then the geographic scope of the unenforceable provisions in

      enforceable period of time (but not greater than the particular time provision)
      selectable from: three (3) years, two (2) years, one (1) year, nine (9) months,
      six (6) months, and three (3) months.

      assignment, proprietary information, confidentiality or similar
      agreements previously
      entered into by Employee. Employee represents that Employee will not bring
      to
      the Company, or use in the performance of Employee’s duties for the Company, any
      documents or materials or intangibles of a former employer or third party
      (except for GS Security Group, LLC and Forgehouse LLC) that are not generally
      available to the public or have not been legally transferred to the
      Company.

     

    8. Severability.
      In the

    9. Amendment
      and Waiver.

      any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by both Employee and the
      Chief Executive Officer, and if Employee shall be the Chief Executive Officer,
      than by the Chairman of the Board, and if the Employee shall be the Chairman
      of
      the Board, then by any other director, in each case only after such modification
      shall have been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole
      discretion. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of
      this
      Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver
      of
      any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such
      party
      of any provision of this Agreement.

     

    10. Applicable

      in
      accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia, regardless of the choice
      of
      law provisions of Georgia or
      any
      other jurisdiction.

    11. Arbitration.

     

    11.1 Exclusive
      Remedy.
      Except
      as set forth in Section 11.3, arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive remedy
      for any dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind or nature (a “Claim”) arising
      out of, related to, or connected with this Agreement, Employee’s employment
      relationship with the Company, or the termination of Employee’s employment
      relationship with the Company, including any Claim against any parent,
      subsidiary, or affiliated entity of the Company, or any director, officer,
      employee, or agent of the Company or of any such parent, subsidiary, or
      affiliated entity. It also includes any claim against the Employee by the
      Company, or any parent, subsidiary or affiliated entity of the
      Company.

     

    11.2 Claims
      Subject to Arbitration.
      Excepting only claims excluded in Section 11.3 below, Section 11.1 specifically
      includes (without limitation) all claims under or relating to any federal,
      state
      or local law or regulation prohibiting discrimination, harassment or retaliation
      based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability or any
      other condition or characteristic protected by law; demotion, discipline,
      termination or other adverse action in violation of any contract, law or public
      policy; entitlement to wages or other economic compensation; any Claim for
      personal, emotional, physical, economic or other injury; and any Claim for
      business torts or misappropriation of confidential information or trade
      secrets.

     

    11.3 Claims
      Not Subject to Arbitration.
      This
      Section 11 does not preclude either party from making an application to a court
      of competent jurisdiction for provisional remedies (e.g.,
      temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction). This Section 11 also
      does not apply to any claims by Employee: (i) for workers’ compensation
      benefits; (ii) for unemployment insurance benefits; (iii) under a benefit plan
      where the plan specifies a separate arbitration procedure; (iv) filed with
      an
      administrative agency which are not legally subject to arbitration under this
      Agreement; or (v) which are otherwise expressly prohibited by law from being
      subject to arbitration under this Agreement. 

     

    11.4 Procedure.
      The
      arbitration shall be conducted in Fulton County, Georgia. Any Claim submitted
      to
      arbitration shall be decided by a single, neutral arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”).
      The parties to the arbitration shall mutually select the Arbitrator not later
      than 45 days after service of the demand for arbitration. If the parties for
      any
      reason do not mutually select the Arbitrator within the 45-day period, then
      any
      party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a retired
      judge as the Arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
      the Official Code of Georgia, as amended, except as modified by this Agreement.
      The Arbitrator shall apply the substantive federal, state, or local law and
      statute of limitations governing any Claim submitted to arbitration. In ruling
      on any Claim submitted to arbitration, the Arbitrator shall have the authority
      to award only such remedies or forms of relief as are provided for under the
      substantive law governing such Claim. The Arbitrator shall issue a written
      decision revealing the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision
      is based. Judgment on the Arbitrator’s decision may be entered in any court of
      competent jurisdiction.

     

    11.5 Costs.
      Employee shall only pay that portion of the fees and costs incurred in the
      arbitration (e.g.,
      filing
      fees and transcript costs) that he would normally pay in the course of
      litigation. All other fees and costs, including the Arbitrator’s fees, shall be
      borne by the Company. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys’
fees and costs, except that the Arbitrator shall have the authority to award
      attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party in accordance with the
      applicable law governing the dispute.

    11.6 Interpretation
      of Arbitrability.
      The
      Arbitrator, and not any federal or state court, shall have the exclusive
      authority to resolve any issue relating to the interpretation, formation or
      enforceability of this Section 11, or any issue relating to whether a Claim
      is
      subject to arbitration under this Section 11, except that any party may bring
      an
      action in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration in
      accordance with the terms of this Section 11.

     

    12. Successors
      and Assigns; Assignment.
      Except
      as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement, and the rights and
      obligations of the parties hereunder, will be binding upon and inure to the
      benefit of their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors,
      administrators and legal representatives. The Company may assign any of its
      rights and obligations under this Agreement. Employee shall not assign, whether
      voluntarily or by operation of law, any of its rights and obligations under
      this
      Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Company.

     

    13. Further
      Assurances.
      The parties agree to execute such further documents and instruments and to
      take
      such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes
      and intent of this Agreement.

     

    14. Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to
      the
      subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
      negotiations, understandings, or agreements between the parties, whether oral
      or
      written, expressed or implied, except for the Assignment of Intellectual
      Property, dated as of the same date hereof.

     

    15. Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, each of which shall
      be
      deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute
      one and the same instrument.

     

    16. Headings.
      The
      headings of sections of this Agreement are included solely for convenience
      of
      reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the
      provisions of this Agreement.

     

    17. Notices.
      Any
      notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be
      sufficient if in writing, and if sent by certified or registered mail or
      personally delivered to Employee at 5890 Hershinger Close, Duluth, Georgia
      30097
      or to the Company at 1575 Northside Drive NW, Building 300, Suite 375, Atlanta,

      EMPLOYMENT
        AGREEMENT

       

      This
        Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of January 31, 2008,
        by and between ForgeHouse, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Jose
        Alonso (“Employee”). The parties hereto agree as follows:

       

      1. Employment
        and Duties.
        The
        Company shall employ Employee in the position of Chief Operating Officer
        (or
        such other position of similar rank as may be assigned to him by the Company’s
        Board of Directors). Employee shall report directly to the Chief Executive
        Officer (or such other persons designated by the Chief Executive Officer)
        and
        shall perform all duties and obligations typically performed by a person
        in such
        position, including, without limitation, those certain duties and obligations
        stated on Exhibit A hereto (or such other duties assigned to Employee from
        time
        to time by the Chief Executive Officer). Employee shall devote his full business
        time, attention, and energies exclusively to the business and interests of
        the
        Company and to the performance of his duties and obligations under this
        Agreement.

       

      2. Term
        of Agreement.
        Subject
        to the provisions of Section 4, Employee and the Company retain the right
        to
        terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, and with
        or
        without Cause (as defined in Section 4.1.1), and with or without notice.
        Nothing
        in this Agreement shall be deemed to alter the at-will nature of Employee’s
        employment with the Company, and the at-will nature of Employee’s employment
        shall not otherwise be modified except in a writing in accordance with Section
        9
        hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and
        10 of
        the Agreement shall survive, and continue in full force and effect, after
        any
        termination or expiration of this Agreement, irrespective of the reason for
        the
        termination or any claim that the termination was wrongful or
        illegal.

       

      3. Compensation
        and Other Benefits.
        The
        Company shall provide the following compensation and other benefits to Employee
        in consideration of Employee’s performance of all of his obligations under this
        Agreement:

       

      3.1 Base
        Salary.
        Subject
        to the provisions of Section 4, the Company shall pay to Employee an annual
        base
        salary (the “Base Salary”) of $108,000, less applicable withholdings. The Base
        Salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s ordinary payroll
        practices in effect during the period of Employee’s employment with the
        Company.

       

      3.2 Incentive
        Compensation.
        For
        each fiscal year of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall be
        eligible to earn a bonus (“Incentive Compensation”), the amount of which, if
        any, shall be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
        Incentive Compensation, if any, shall be paid to Employee within forty-five
        (45)
        days after the Company’s audited financial statements have been issued for the
        fiscal year in which such Incentive Compensation was earned. Incentive
        Compensation will not be considered earned for a particular fiscal year unless
        Employee is employed with the Company on April 1 immediately following the
        close
        of that fiscal year. Employee acknowledges and agrees that if his employment
        with the Company is terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2 or
        4.3
        below before the Incentive Compensation is considered earned, Employee shall
        not
        be eligible for payment of Incentive Compensation for the fiscal year in
        which
        the termination is effective. Any provision to the contrary notwithstanding,
        the
        Company will make all payments under this arrangement not later than 2 1⁄2 months
        after the end of the calendar year in which the payments are no longer subject
        to a substantial risk of forfeiture; provided that if calculation of the
        payment
        amount is not administratively practicable due to events beyond the employee’s
        control or if the Company has insufficient funds so that such payment would
        jeopardize the solvency of the Company, the payment may be delayed until
        the
        first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable
        and the
        funds of the Company are sufficient.

      3.3 Stock
        Option Plan.
        Employee shall be eligible to participate in any stock option plan as currently
        adopted or may be adopted by the Company and approved by the Company’s Board of
        Directors in its sole and absolute discretion (“Stock Option Plan”). Employee
        shall be granted, subject to compliance with all state and federal securities
        laws and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Option
        Plan, a
        nonqualified stock option
        to
        purchase 186,000 shares of the common stock authorized for issuance under
        the
        Stock Option Plan pursuant to a vesting schedule. The proposed form
        of
        grant and vesting schedule is
        attached hereto as Exhibit B.

       

      3.4 Fringe
        Benefits.
        As
        additional compensation under this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled
        to
        receive the following benefits (the “Fringe Benefits”):

       

      3.4.1 Employee
        Benefit Plans.
        The
        Company shall allow Employee to participate in such group medical, health,
        pension, welfare, and insurance plans (the “Employee Benefit Plans”) maintained
        by the Company from time to time for the general benefit of its employees
        of
        similar rank, as such Employee Benefit Plans may be modified from time to
        time
        in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

       

      3.4.2 Other
        Benefits.
        The
        Company shall provide Employee with all other benefits and perquisites as
        are
        made generally available to the Company’s employees of similar rank under the
        Company’s Employee Handbook, as such Employee Handbook may be modified from time
        to time in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

       

      3.4.3 Vacation.
        Employee
        shall be entitled to such vacation time as is generally made available to
        the
        Company’s employees of similar rank under the Company’s employment policies, as
        such employment policies may be modified from time to time in the Company’s sole
        and absolute discretion; provided,
        however,
        that in
        no event shall Employee accrue vacation time at a rate which is less than
        three
        (3) weeks per year; provided,
        further,
        that
        Employee may not accrue more than two times Employee’s annual vacation
        allotment. Employee will cease accruing vacation if Employee reaches the
        maximum
        accrual amount, and will commence accruing vacation again only after Employee
        has used enough vacation to fall below the maximum.

       

      3.4.4 Reimbursement
        of Business Expenses.
        The
        Company shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable travel, entertainment
        and
        other expenses incurred by Employee in connection with the performance of
        his
        duties under this Agreement, upon submission by Employee to Company of
        reasonable documentation pertaining to such expenses. The Employee agrees
        to
        provide to the Company such information as may be reasonably necessary to
        substantiate any reimbursement or payment of the fees, costs and expenses
        described in this subsection at such time as is consistent with Company policy
        but in no event later than 30 days following the close of the calendar year
        in
        which such fee, cost or expense is incurred. Upon receipt of such
        substantiation, the Company shall pay or reimburse the fees, costs and expenses
        described in this subsection promptly in accordance with Company policy but
        in
        no event later than 2 1⁄2 months following the close of the calendar year in which
        such fee, cost or expense was incurred by the Employee. The amount of expenses
        eligible for reimbursement in a calendar year will not affect the amount
        eligible for reimbursement in another calendar year.

       

      3.5 Deferred
        Compensation.
        Any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal
        Revenue Code (“Section 409A”)) payable under this Agreement on account of
        Employee’s separation from service shall not commence prior to six months
        following such separation if Employee is a specified employee (within the
        meaning of Section 409A); provided,
        however,
        that,
        in determining whether Employee is a specified employee, any compensation
        realized on account of the exercise of a stock option or a disqualifying
        disposition of stock acquired through the exercise of an incentive stock
        option
        shall be disregarded.

        The
        Company, with the approval of the Board, may terminate Employee’s employment at
        any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without Cause (as defined
        in
        Section 4.1.1), and with or without notice, subject to the provisions of
        Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. “Terminate,” as used in this Agreement to determine

        service,” as defined by Section 409A. 

       

      4.1.1 Termination
        for Cause.
        If

        set forth in this Section 4.1.1, Employee shall not be entitled to receive
        any
        Base Salary, Incentive Compensation or Fringe Benefits in the event Employee’s
        employment is terminated for Cause, except that Employee may continue to
        participate in the Employee Benefit Plans to the extent permitted by and
        in
        accordance with the terms thereof or as otherwise required by law. As used
        in

        funds, properties or assets; (f) conviction of the Employee of a felony or

        in
        connection with the performance of the Employee’s duties to the Company or
        willful violation of Company policies; (h) intentional dishonesty by the
        Employee in the performance of the Employee’s duties to the Company; (i) any
        fraud, theft, misappropriation of or embezzlement by the Employee in connection
        with the performance of the Employee’s duties to the Company; (j) engagement by
        the Employee in the use of illegal substances or alcohol, which use has impaired
        the Employee’s ability, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company,
        on an ongoing basis, to perform the Employee’s duties to the Company; or (k)
        breach by the Employee of any terms and conditions set forth in any

        of the Company. With regard to clauses (a) through (c) and (k), Employee
        may
        cure such breach within thirty (30) days of Employee’s receipt of written notice
        from the Company; provided,
        however,
        that
        such cure period shall not be applicable if, in the case of clause (a) or
        (k),
        the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, has determined that such
        breach
        is not capable of being fully cured; provided,
        further,
        that,
        upon the second occurrence of a breach of under clauses (a) through (c) or
        (k),
        no such cure period need be extended to Employee.

      4.1.2 Termination
        Without Cause.
        If

        (i)
        payment of Employee’s Base Salary through and including the date of termination;
        (ii) payment of any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation for the prior
        fiscal year pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2; (iii) payment for all accrued

        reimbursement of business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination
        in

        receive a severance payment equal to six months of Employee’s most recent Base
        Salary, less applicable withholdings, provided Employee signs a general release
        of all claims in a form approved by the Board of Directors. The severance
        pay
        described in this Section 4.1.2 shall be paid in the ordinary course as if
        Employee were still employed by the Company for such term as is required
        to pay
        in-full such amount. 

       

      4.2 Termination
        upon Death or Permanent Disability.
        This
        Agreement will terminate automatically on Employee’s death or if Employee
        becomes Permanently Disabled (as defined below). In the event of such
        termination, Employee, or his beneficiary or estate, shall be entitled to
        receive such amounts of the Base Salary, Incentive Compensation and Fringe
        Benefits as would have been payable to Employee under a termination without
        Cause under Section 4.1.2 as of the date of death or the date as of which
        the
        Company has determined in its sole discretion that Employee has become
        Permanently Disabled. As used in this Agreement, “Permanently Disabled” shall
        mean the incapacity of Employee due to illness, accident, or any other reason
        to
        perform his duties for a period of 90 calendar days, whether or not consecutive,
        during any 12-month period, all as determined by the Company in its sole
        discretion. All Company determinations as to the date and extent of incapacity
        of Employee shall be made by the Company’s Board of Directors, upon the basis of
        such evidence, including independent medical reports and data, as the Board
        of
        Directors in its sole discretion deems necessary and desirable. All such
        determinations of the Board of Directors shall be final.

       

      4.3 Termination
        at Employee’s Election.
        Employee
        may resign from employment with the Company for any reason by providing written
        notice to the Company prior to the date selected for resignation. If Employee
        resigns from employment, Employee shall be entitled to receive only the
        following: (i) payment of Employee’s Base Salary through and including the date
        of resignation; (ii) payment
        of any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation for the prior fiscal year
        pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2; (iii) payment
        for all accrued and unused vacation time existing as of the date of resignation,
        which will be made at a rate calculated in accordance with Employee’s Base
        Salary at the time of resignation; and (iv) reimbursement of business expenses
        incurred prior to the date of resignation in accordance with Section 3.4.4.
        Except as expressly set forth in this Section 4.3, in the event Employee
        resigns
        from employment, Employee shall not be entitled to receive any Base Salary,
        Incentive Compensation, Fringe Benefits or other items, except that Employee
        may
        continue to participate in the Employee Benefit Plans to the extent permitted
        by
        and in accordance with the terms thereof or as otherwise required by
        law.

       

      4.4 Exercise
        of Stock Options Upon Termination.
        Any
        options granted to Employee pursuant to the Stock Option Plan as set forth
        in
        Section 3.3 shall cease vesting on the date of termination of Employee’s
        employment, and, to the extent vested on the date of termination and not
        previously exercised or expired, may be exercised by Employee in accordance
        with
        the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan.

       

      5. Assignment
        of Intellectual Property.

       

      5.1 Purpose
        of Assignment. Employee
        understands that: (i) the Company is engaged in a continuous program of
        research, development, production, and marketing in connection with its
        business; and (ii) it is critical for the Company to preserve and protect
        its
“Proprietary Information” (as defined in Section 5.6 below), its rights in
“Inventions” (as defined in Section 5.2 below), and in all other
        intellectual property rights. Accordingly, Employee enters into the Agreement
        as
        a condition of employment and continued employment with the Company, whether
        or
        not Employee is expected to create inventions or other intellectual property
        of
        value for the Company.

      5.2 Disclosure
        of Inventions.
        Employee will promptly disclose in writing and in confidence to the Company
        all
        inventions, improvements, designs, original works of authorship, formulas,
        processes, compositions of matter, computer software programs (whether in
        source
        code or object code), databases, mask works, innovations, ideas, concepts,
        discoveries, techniques, technical data, know-how, formulas, algorithms,
        flow
        charts, source code, object code, and trade secrets that Employee makes or
        conceives or first reduces to practice or creates, either alone or jointly
        with
        others, during the period of Employee’s employment, whether or not in the course
        of employment, and whether or not patentable, copyrightable, or protectable
        as a
        trade secret (the “Inventions”).

       

      5.3 Assignment
        of Inventions; Work Made for Hire.
        Employee acknowledges and agrees that any copyrightable works prepared by
        Employee within the scope of employment are “works made for hire” under the
        Copyright Act and that the Company will be considered the author and owner
        of
        such copyrightable works. Employee agrees that all Inventions that (i) are
        developed using equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secrets of the Company,
        (ii) result from work performed by Employee for the Company, or
        (iii) relate to the Company’s business or actual or demonstrably
        anticipated research and development (the “Assigned Inventions”) will be the
        sole and exclusive property of the Company. Attached hereto as Exhibit C 
is a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments,
        and trade secrets that were made by Employee prior to the date of this
        Agreement, that belong to Employee, and that are not assigned to the Company
        (“Prior Inventions”). If no such list is attached, Employee agrees that it is
        because no such Prior Inventions exist. Employee
        acknowledges and agrees that if Employee uses any of Employee’s Prior Inventions
        in the scope of employment, or includes them in any product or service of
        the
        Company, Employee hereby grants to the Company a perpetual, irrevocable,
        nonexclusive, world-wide, royalty-free license to use, disclose, make, offer
        for
        sale, sell, import, copy, distribute, perform,
        display, modify and create derivative works based on such Prior Inventions
        and
        to sublicense third parties with the same rights.

       

      5.4 Assignment
        of Other Rights.
        To the
        extent that the Company does not own all right, title, and interest in, to,
        and
        under the Inventions, Employee agrees to assign, and does hereby irrevocably
        transfer and assign, to the Company: (i) all patents, patent applications,
        copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights
        anywhere in the world (both registered and unregistered) (“other intellectual
        property rights” includes, but not limited to, rights in databases and in any
        Assigned Inventions, along with any registrations of or applications to register
        such rights); (ii) any and all “Moral Rights” (as defined below) that
        Employee may have in or with respect to any Assigned Inventions; (iii) all
        licensing and contract rights in, to, and under any of the above; (iv) the
        right to all income, royalties, fees, damages, and payments payable in, to,
        and
        under any of the above; (v) the right to sue for present, past, and future
        infringement or misappropriation, or to otherwise enforce any rights and
        file
        any causes of action, in law and/or equity in, to, and under any of the above;
        and (vi) any other legal protections or rights throughout the world in, to,
        and under any of the above. Employee also hereby forever waives and agrees
        never
        to assert any and all Moral Rights that Employee may have in or with respect
        to
        any Assigned Inventions, even after termination of Employee’s work on behalf of
        the Company. “Moral Rights” means any rights to claim authorship of or credit on
        an Assigned Inventions, to object to or prevent the modification or destruction
        of any Assigned Inventions or Prior Inventions licensed to Company under
        Section
        5.3, or to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution
        of any Assigned Inventions or Prior Inventions licensed to Company under
        Section
        5.3, and any similar right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any
        country or subdivision thereof in the world, or under any treaty, regardless
        of
        whether or not such right is denominated or generally referred to as a “moral
        right.”

      To
        the
        extent that any and all of Employee’s right, title, and interest in, to, and
        under any intellectual property related to the Company Business (as defined
        in
        Section 6.1) have not been assigned, transferred over, set over, conveyed,
        and
        delivered to the Company or its predecessor, Forgehouse LLC, Employee hereby
        irrevocably assigns, transfers over, sets over, conveys, and delivers to
        the
        Company, its successors and assigns, all of Employee’s right, title, and
        interest in, to, and under all such intellectual property, including any
        and all
        developed by Employee while employed or otherwise connected to GS Security
        Group, LLC or Forgehouse LLC.

      

      5.5 Assistance.
        Employee agrees to assist the Company in every proper way to obtain for the
        Company and enforce patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secret rights
        and other legal protections for the Company’s Assigned Inventions in any and all

        request for use in obtaining or enforcing such patents, copyrights, mask
        work
        rights, trade secrets and other legal protections. Employee’s obligations under
        this paragraph will continue beyond the termination of Employee’s employment
        with the Company, provided that the Company will compensate Employee at a
        reasonable rate after such termination for time or expenses actually spent
        by
        Employee at the Company’s request on such assistance. Employee appoints the
        Company’s attorneys as Employee’s attorney-in-fact to execute documents on his
        behalf for this purpose.

        confidence and trust with respect to any information of a confidential or
        secret
        nature that may be disclosed to Employee by the Company or a third party
        that
        relates to the business of the Company or to the business of any parent,
        subsidiary, affiliate, customer or supplier of the Company or any other party
        with whom the Company agrees to hold information of such party in confidence
        (the “Proprietary Information”). Such Proprietary Information includes, but is
        not limited to, Assigned Inventions, marketing plans, product plans, source
        code, flowcharts, business strategies, financial information, forecasts,

        the
        right to use and reuse, Employee’s name, photograph, likeness (including
        caricature), voice, and biographical information, and any reproduction or
        simulation thereof, in any form of media or technology now known or hereafter
        developed (including, but not limited to, film, video and digital or other
        electronic media), to the extent that materials using Employee’s name or
        likeness were generated during Employee’s employment and such name or likeness

        Employee and Employee’s spouse and immediate family members will not, without

        Company’s customers and suppliers, and all other confidential information
        related to them, including their buying and selling habits and special needs,
        created or obtained during employment by Employee, constitute trade secrets,
        confidential information, and Proprietary Information of the Company.

       

      In
        the
        event of termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, whether for
        cause or other than for cause, all provisions in this Section 6.4 of the

        deliver to the Company all documents and materials of any nature pertaining

      6.7 Geographic
        Scope of Provisions in Section 6.
        The provisions in this Section 6 of the Agreement shall encompass the geographic

        has
        taken reasonable steps to commence conducting business during the 12 months
        prior to the date of termination. If, however, any of the geographic provisions
        of this Agreement are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to
        be
        unenforceable, then the geographic scope of the unenforceable provisions
        in this
        Section 6 will be interpreted to extend over the largest enforceable
        geographical area selectable from: the continental United States and countries
        where the Company conducted significant business on the date of termination,
        the
        continental United States, the United States east of the Mississippi River,
        the
        State of Georgia, and the greater metropolitan Atlanta region.

       

      6.8 Durational
        Scope of Provisions in Section 6.
        If any
        of the time provisions of this Section 6 of the Agreement are determined
        by a
        court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable
        provisions in this Section 6 will be interpreted to extend over the longest
        enforceable period of time (but not greater than the particular time provision)
        selectable from: three (3) years, two (2) years, one (1) year, nine (9) months,
        six (6) months, and three (3) months.

       

      7. Representation
        and Warranties: No Breach of Prior Agreements.
        Employee represents and warrants to the Company that Employee is under no
        contractual or other restriction or obligation that is materially inconsistent
        with the execution of this Agreement, the performance of his duties hereunder,
        or the rights of the Company hereunder, including, without limitation, any
        development, non-competition, non-disclosure or confidentiality, invention
        assignment, proprietary information, confidentiality or similar
        agreements previously
        entered into by Employee. Employee represents that Employee will not bring
        to
        the Company, or use in the performance of Employee’s duties for the Company, any
        documents or materials or intangibles of a former employer or third party
        (except for GS Security Group, LLC and Forgehouse LLC) that are not generally
        available to the public or have not been legally transferred to the
        Company.

       

      8. Severability.
        In the
        event that any provision of this Agreement should be held to be void, voidable,
        unlawful, or for any reason unenforceable, the remaining provisions or portions
        of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

       

      9. Amendment
        and Waiver.
        No
        provision of this Agreement can be modified, amended, supplemented, or waived
        in
        any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by both Employee and
        the
        Chief Executive Officer, and if Employee shall be the Chief Executive Officer,
        than by the Chairman of the Board, and if the Employee shall be the Chairman
        of
        the Board, then by any other director, in each case only after such modification
        shall have been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole
        discretion. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of
        this
        Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver
        of
        any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such
        party
        of any provision of this Agreement.

       

      10. Applicable
        Law.

        Agreement, Employee’s employment relationship with the Company, and any and all
        matters or claims arising out of or related to this Agreement or Employee’s
        employment relationship with the Company shall be governed by, and construed
        in
        accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia, regardless of the choice
        of
        law provisions of Georgia or
        any
        other jurisdiction.

      11. Arbitration.

       

      11.1 Exclusive
        Remedy.
        Except
        as set forth in Section 11.3, arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive
        remedy
        for any dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind or nature (a “Claim”) arising
        out of, related to, or connected with this Agreement, Employee’s employment
        relationship with the Company, or the termination of Employee’s employment
        relationship with the Company, including any Claim against any parent,
        subsidiary, or affiliated entity of the Company, or any director, officer,
        employee, or agent of the Company or of any such parent, subsidiary, or
        affiliated entity. It also includes any claim against the Employee by the
        Company, or any parent, subsidiary or affiliated entity of the
        Company.

       

      11.2 Claims
        Subject to Arbitration.
        Excepting only claims excluded in Section 11.3 below, Section 11.1 specifically
        includes (without limitation) all claims under or relating to any federal,
        state
        or local law or regulation prohibiting discrimination, harassment or retaliation
        based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability or
        any
        other condition or characteristic protected by law; demotion, discipline,
        termination or other adverse action in violation of any contract, law or
        public
        policy; entitlement to wages or other economic compensation; any Claim for
        personal, emotional, physical, economic or other injury; and any Claim for
        business torts or misappropriation of confidential information or trade
        secrets.

       

      11.3 Claims
        Not Subject to Arbitration.
        This
        Section 11 does not preclude either party from making an application to a
        court
        of competent jurisdiction for provisional remedies (e.g.,
        temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction). This Section 11 also
        does not apply to any claims by Employee: (i) for workers’ compensation
        benefits; (ii) for unemployment insurance benefits; (iii) under a benefit
        plan
        where the plan specifies a separate arbitration procedure; (iv) filed with
        an
        administrative agency which are not legally subject to arbitration under
        this
        Agreement; or (v) which are otherwise expressly prohibited by law from being
        subject to arbitration under this Agreement. 

       

      11.4 Procedure.
        The
        arbitration shall be conducted in Fulton County, Georgia. Any Claim submitted
        to
        arbitration shall be decided by a single, neutral arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”).
        The parties to the arbitration shall mutually select the Arbitrator not later
        than 45 days after service of the demand for arbitration. If the parties
        for any
        reason do not mutually select the Arbitrator within the 45-day period, then
        any
        party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a retired
        judge as the Arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance
        with
        the Official Code of Georgia, as amended, except as modified by this Agreement.
        The Arbitrator shall apply the substantive federal, state, or local law and
        statute of limitations governing any Claim submitted to arbitration. In ruling
        on any Claim submitted to arbitration, the Arbitrator shall have the authority
        to award only such remedies or forms of relief as are provided for under
        the
        substantive law governing such Claim. The Arbitrator shall issue a written
        decision revealing the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision
        is based. Judgment on the Arbitrator’s decision may be entered in any court of
        competent jurisdiction.

       

      11.5 Costs.
        Employee shall only pay that portion of the fees and costs incurred in the
        arbitration (e.g.,
        filing
        fees and transcript costs) that he would normally pay in the course of
        litigation. All other fees and costs, including the Arbitrator’s fees, shall be
        borne by the Company. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys’
fees and costs, except that the Arbitrator shall have the authority to award
        attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party in accordance with the
        applicable law governing the dispute.

      11.6 Interpretation
        of Arbitrability.
        The
        Arbitrator, and not any federal or state court, shall have the exclusive
        authority to resolve any issue relating to the interpretation, formation
        or
        enforceability of this Section 11, or any issue relating to whether a Claim
        is
        subject to arbitration under this Section 11, except that any party may bring
        an
        action in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration in
        accordance with the terms of this Section 11.

       

      12. Successors
        and Assigns; Assignment.
        Except
        as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement, and the rights and
        obligations of the parties hereunder, will be binding upon and inure to the
        benefit of their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors,
        administrators and legal representatives. The Company may assign any of its
        rights and obligations under this Agreement. Employee shall not assign, whether
        voluntarily or by operation of law, any of its rights and obligations under
        this
        Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Company.

       

      13. Further
        Assurances.
        The
        parties agree to execute such further documents and instruments and to take
        such
        further actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes
        and
        intent of this Agreement.

       

      14. Entire
        Agreement.
        This
        Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to
        the
        subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
        negotiations, understandings, or agreements between the parties, whether
        oral or
        written, expressed or implied, except for the Assignment of Intellectual
        Property, dated as of the same date hereof.

       

      15. Counterparts.
        This
        Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, each of which shall
        be
        deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute
        one and the same instrument.

       

      16. Headings.
        The
        headings of sections of this Agreement are included solely for convenience
        of
        reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the
        provisions of this Agreement.

       

      17. Notices.
        Any
        notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be
        sufficient if in writing, and if sent by certified or registered mail or
        personally delivered to Employee at 305 Antler Way, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005
        or
