	1	Note: There should be two certificates for each stockholder to permit release of the first installment on the Release Date. 

 adjustment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.4 of the Merger Agreement, or
(ii) Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Article VII of the Merger Agreement (each such claim under clause (i) or (ii) being a “Claim”), is made by Parent on or before the twelve (12) month anniversary (the
“Release Date”) of the date hereof, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute the Indemnity Escrow Shares, within five days, to the respective Indemnifying Stockholders as specified on Schedule A, together with any other Escrow Assets
which were derived therefrom or distributed on account thereof. 
 b. If on or before the Release Date, Parent asserts a
Claim, then Parent may send to the Stockholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) (i) describing in brief the basis for its Claim, and (ii) setting forth a request to
release Escrow Assets to it in the amount of the Indemnifiable Losses. If the exact amount of Indemnifiable Losses associated with any Claim has not been fixed, then Parent’s Claim Notice shall specify a reasonable estimate of the Indemnifiable
Losses. 
 c. Following the receipt by the Escrow Agent of any Claim Notice on or prior to the Release Date: 
  

	 	(i)	if the Escrow Agent receives a written response from the Stockholders’ Representative after their receipt of such a Claim Notice which notice states that the Stockholders’
Representative accept or agree to the Claim or any portion thereof, then the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Parent or its designee, a number of Indemnity Escrow Shares having a Market Value equal to the amount set forth in such Claim Notice (or the
undisputed portion thereof) within ten (10) business days after the Escrow Agent receives the Stockholders’ Representative’s notice of acceptance or agreement; 

  

	 	(ii)	If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written notice of acceptance from the Stockholders’ Representative within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of a Claim
Notice, then Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the Claim and the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Parent or its designee Indemnity Escrow Shares (or, if all Indemnity Escrow Shares have been distributed, then other Escrow
Assets) having a Market Value equal to the amount set forth in such Claim Notice within ten (10) business days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) business day period; 

  

	 	(iii)	 If the Escrow Agent receives a written notice from the Stockholders’ Representative disputing all or any portion of the Claim (the “Dispute
Notice”), within the fifteen (15) business day period after receipt of a Claim Notice, then the Escrow Agent shall not distribute any Escrow Assets in respect of the amount in

Agent receives a joint written direction with respect to the settlement of the amount in dispute signed by the Stockholders’ Representative and an officer of Parent (each of the resolutions referenced in (i), (ii) and (iii) above
shall be referred to herein as a “Final Resolution”). Within five (5) business days after the receipt of a Final Resolution, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Parent or its designee Indemnity Escrow Shares (or, if all
Indemnity Escrow Shares have been distributed, then other Escrow Assets) having a Market Value equal to the amount set forth in such Final Resolution. 

 d. If, on or prior to the Release Date, the Escrow Agent has received a Claim Notice or Claim Notices and all of the related Claims have
either been accepted (or deemed accepted) by the Stockholders’ Representative or resolved by Final Resolution and the related Indemnity Escrow Shares have been distributed, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute to the Indemnifying
Stockholders, within five days after the Release Date, the remaining portion, if any, of the 1,000,000 Indemnity Escrow Shares which would have been released to the Indemnifying Stockholders on the Release Date had no Claims been made. In each case
provided in this Section 6d., Indemnity Escrow Shares will be distributed to the Indemnifying Stockholders in proportion to their relative Indemnity Escrow Shares as set forth on Schedule A attached to this Escrow Agreement. 

e. “Market Value” means, as to the Indemnity Escrow Shares, the average of the closing sales price per share of
Parent Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (or other applicable market on which shares of Parent Common Stock are traded or quoted, if not the OTC Bulletin Board) for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding: (i) the date on
which the Indemnifying Stockholders notify the Escrow Agent that they have no objection to a Claim in accordance with Section 6c(i), if applicable, (ii) the date on which the ten day period described in Section 6c(ii) expires, if
applicable, or (iii) the date on which a Final Resolution is delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 6c(iii), if applicable. In each case, Parent shall calculate and deliver the Market Value computation to the Escrow Agent
promptly following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) through (iii) above. As to any Escrow Assets other than Indemnity Escrow Shares, and as to Indemnity Escrow Shares to the extent not traded or quoted on any
market, the Market Value shall be the value determined by a Final Resolution. 

 f. If Parent is entitled to any distribution of less than all remaining Indemnity Escrow
Shares in accordance with this Section 6, then (i) Escrow Agent shall deliver the certificates representing the Indemnity Escrow Shares to Parent and Parent shall be responsible for exchanging the certificates delivered to it and returning
to the Escrow Agent certificates evidencing the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Shares that were not required to be delivered to Parent; and (ii) the shares to be surrendered to Parent shall be allocated from among the shares of the
Indemnifying Stockholders pro rata based upon their relative number of Indemnity Escrow Shares as set forth on Schedule A attached to this Escrow Agreement. 
 7. Escrow Termination. This Escrow Agreement shall terminate and cease to be of any further force and effect (except as otherwise provided in Section 8f) when the Escrow Agent shall have disposed of all of
the Escrow Assets according to this Escrow Agreement (including the deposit of the Escrow Assets with a court of competent jurisdiction). 
 8. Responsibility and Liability of the Escrow Agent. 
 a. Duties Limited. The duties of the Escrow
Agent hereunder shall be entirely administrative and not discretionary, and the Escrow Agent does not and shall not have any interest in the Escrow Assets. The Escrow Agent’s duties shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein.

 b. Reliance. The Escrow Agent may rely upon, and shall not be liable to the parties for acting or refraining from
acting upon, any written notice, instruction, certificate, request, consent or other instrument (“Written Evidence”) furnished to it in connection with its duties as the Escrow Agent and believed by the Escrow Agent to be
genuine. The Escrow Agent may rely on Written Evidence not only as to the due execution, validity and effectiveness thereof but also as to the truth and accuracy of the information contained therein. The Escrow Agent may assume that any person
purporting to give any Written Evidence in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so or is otherwise the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent may rely on the contents of any Written Evidence of any court,
arbitrator or party without any liability therefor. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to determine the merits of any claim of either party in performing its duties hereunder. 
 c. No Liability. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any actions taken by it in good faith. The Escrow
Agent’s duties and responsibilities are that of a custodian of the Escrow Assets. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability to any third party as a result of any acts taken or omissions made by the Escrow Agent in the performance in accordance
with this Escrow Agreement of its duties hereunder and no person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary with respect to this Escrow Agreement. As to any legal questions arising in connection with the Escrow Agent’s performance of
its duties and responsibilities hereunder, the Escrow Agent may consult or obtain opinions from legal counsel selected by it, and the Escrow Agent shall be free from any liability for acting in reliance in good faith on such advice of counsel. The
Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice of, or demand with respect to, any waiver, modification, amendment, termination, or rescission of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement unless such notice or demand is received by the Escrow 

 
Agent in writing and has been signed by both Parent and Stockholders’ Representative and, if the Escrow Agent’s duties or responsibilities
hereunder are affected, unless the Escrow Agent shall have given its express written consent thereto. 
 d. Waiver.
Parent and Stockholders’ Representative each hereby waives any suit, claim, demand or cause of action of any kind which either may have or may assert against the Escrow Agent arising out of or relating to acceptance or performance of the Escrow
Agent’s duties hereunder, unless such suit, claim, demand or cause of action is based upon a claim of the willful neglect, gross negligence or bad faith of the Escrow Agent. 
 e. Risk of Investment Not the Escrow Agent’s. Any loss or decline in value of any Escrow Assets is the responsibility of the
Indemnifying Stockholders and Parent and not the Escrow Agent. 
 f. Indemnification. Parent and the Indemnifying
Stockholders shall indemnify the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors and employees against all taxes, liabilities, damages, losses, actions, proceedings, costs, claims and demands in respect of any matter or thing performed by the Escrow Agent,
its officers, directors or employees pursuant to this Escrow Agreement (with Parent, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Stockholders, on the other hand, being responsible for one-half (1/2) of the indemnity obligation pursuant to this
Section), other than taxes, liabilities, damages, losses, actions, proceedings, costs, claims or demands arising from a breach of this Escrow Agreement by the Escrow Agent or negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent, its
officers, directors and employees. The indemnity contained herein shall survive the termination or expiration of this Escrow Agreement. 
 g. Resignation or Termination of the Escrow Agent; Appointment of Successor. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder for any reason. Such resignation shall be
made by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such resignation to Parent and Stockholders’ Representative, specifying the date on which such resignation shall take effect. Stockholders’ Representative and Parent
shall also have the right, by mutual agreement, to terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent hereunder by giving to it notice of such termination, in a writing signed by both Stockholders’ Representative and Parent, specifying the date on
which such termination shall take effect and designating a successor Escrow Agent. In any such event, Parent and Stockholders’ Representative shall, by mutual agreement, approve and designate a successor Escrow Agent to such resigning or
terminated Escrow Agent. In the event of the Escrow Agent’s intended resignation, if Parent and Stockholders’ Representative cannot agree to a successor Escrow Agent at least ten days before the effective date of such resignation, the
Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Assets with a court of competent jurisdiction or any commercial bank or trust company selected by it that agrees to be bound by this Escrow Agreement. Any successor Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to the
Escrow Agent then serving a written instrument accepting the appointment and agreeing to the terms of this Escrow Agreement. Upon receipt thereof from such successor Escrow Agent, all Escrow Assets shall be turned over and delivered to such
successor Escrow Agent who shall thereupon be bound by all of the provisions hereof as if an original signature hereto, and the Escrow Agent shall be thereafter released of all further 

 
obligations and liability relating to the Escrow Assets arising after the date of such substitution. No resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor the Escrow Agent in the manner provided above. 
 h. Escrow
Agent as Counsel to Parent. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent has been and will continue to be counsel to Parent and nothing herein shall disqualify Escrow Agent from representing Parent in connection with (i) the making or
performance of this Escrow Agreement, (ii) in connection with any disputes arising under or as a result of this Escrow Agreement or (iii) in connection with any other matters, any and all objections to such representation are hereby
irrevocably waived.

corporation (“Parent”), is merging on the date hereof with and into the Company (“Merger”). Executive was an officer of the Company immediately prior to the Merger, and pursuant to Section 5.3(b)
of the Merger Agreement, as a condition to the obligations of the Parent and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement, Executive and the Company are entering into this Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 
 1. Employment and Term. The Company
hereby employs Executive and Executive hereby accepts employment with the Company as the Company’s Vice President, Director of International Operations. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement
shall be for a period beginning on the date of the effectiveness of the Merger (the “Effective Date”) and ending on January 12, 2008 (the “Initial Term”), unless sooner terminated in accordance
with the other provisions hereof (which initial period and any extended period described below shall be referred to as the “Term”). On the expiration of the Initial Term and on each anniversary thereafter, the Term shall,
subject to the following sentence, be automatically extended for one year. The Company or the Executive may elect to terminate any automatic extension of the Term by giving written notice of such election to the other at least 60 days prior to the
end of the Initial Term or any renewal term. 
 2. Duties. Executive shall provide strategic guidance and day-to-day management of the
Company’s international operations, as more specifically prescribed by the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer (initially, David J. Harrison) from time to time. Executive also shall perform such additional duties and functions
for and on behalf of the Company, consistent with his position and experience, as are reasonably requested of him from time to time by the President and Chief Operating Officer. Executive shall devote all of his working time, energy, skill and best
efforts to the performance of his duties under this Agreement in a manner 

 
that will faithfully and diligently further the business and interests of the Company. Executive will faithfully comply with the Company’s corporate
policies, as the same may change from time to time. 
 3. Compensation, Benefits and Expenses. 
 3.1 Salary. The Company shall pay to Executive a salary at the annual rate of $150,000 (the “Salary”). The
Salary shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal compensation review practices for executive officers subject to minimum annual increases
commencing after the Initial Term equal to increases in the Consumer Price Index ( all-items portion, for all urban consumers), as published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics for the 12 month period ending three months prior to the applicable
January 1. The Company shall deduct or cause to be deducted from the Salary and any bonus all taxes and amounts required by law to be withheld. 
 3.2 Bonus. In addition to his Salary, Executive may be entitled to a bonus to be determined by the Board annually. 
 3.3 Equity. At the discretion of the Board, the Executive shall be entitled to receive stock options and the like in accordance with any equity incentive plan that may be adopted by the Board. 
 3.4 Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in all savings, group insurance, disability and other standard employee
benefit plans maintained or adopted by the Company, now existing or established in the future, to the extent Executive is eligible under the applicable provisions of those plans.

expenses actually incurred by Executive in the course of the performance of services under this Agreement, subject to compliance with the Company’s generally applicable reimbursement policy and protocol. 
 4. Termination; Compensation Continuation. 
 4.1 Termination upon Death. Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate as of the date of his death, at which time all of Executive’s rights to compensation and benefits under
Section 3 of this Agreement or otherwise shall immediately terminate, except that Executive’s heirs, personal representatives or estate shall be entitled to (a) any unpaid portion of Executive’s Salary for periods before the date
of termination; (b) any accrued benefits up to the date of termination; and (c) any benefits that are required to be provided to Executive’s dependents after the date of termination under the general provisions of the employee benefit
plans in which Executive participated as of the date of his death. 
 4.2 Termination upon Disability.
“Disability” means any physical or mental incapacity, illness or infirmity that prevents or significantly restricts Executive from performing 

  

 2 

 
the normal duties of a business executive on a full-time basis. If Executive suffers a Disability and the Disability continues for more than four months or
for periods aggregating more than four months during any 12 month period, then Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment upon written notice to Executive, at which time all of Executive’s rights to compensation and
benefits under Section 3 of this Agreement or otherwise shall immediately terminate, except that Executive shall be entitled to (a) any unpaid portion of Executive’s Salary for periods before the date of termination; (b) any

termination. 
 4.3 Termination by Company for Cause. The Company may, upon written notice to Executive, immediately
terminate Executive’s employment for Cause. “Cause” shall exist if (i) Executive materially breaches any provision of this Agreement, and such breach remains unremedied to the satisfaction of the Board for 5 days
after notice thereof is given to Executive; (ii) Executive is indicted, convicted or pleads “no contest” to, a felony, or any other conduct of a criminal nature (other than traffic violations); (iii) Executive engages in fraud,
embezzlement or any other illegal or wrongful conduct, including violations of securities laws, that is substantially detrimental to the Company or any Affiliate, or their respective reputations; (iv) Executive takes action (or fails to take
action) that Executive knew or should have reasonably known was likely to materially damage the business of the Company; (v) Executive is grossly negligent in the performance of, or willfully disregards, his obligations hereunder;
(vi) Executive intentionally imparts material confidential information relating to the Company or any Affiliate to competitors or to other third parties other than in the course of carrying out Executive’s duties; (vii) Executive
fails to obey the lawful directions of the Chief Executive Officer, the President or Board or willfully violates any Company policy which materially damages the business of the Company; or (viii) Executive engages in conduct that brings the
Company or its Affiliates into public disgrace or disrepute. Upon a termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, all of Executive’s rights to compensation and benefits under Section 3 of this Agreement or otherwise shall
immediately terminate, except that Executive shall be entitled to (a) any unpaid portion of Executive’s Salary for periods before the date of termination; (b) any accrued benefits up to the date of termination; and (c) any
benefits that are required to be provided after such date under the general provisions of the employee benefit plans in which Executive participated as of the date of termination. 
 4.4 Termination without Cause. The Company may, upon written notice of at least 30 days to Executive, terminate Executive’s
employment without Cause. 
 4.5 Return of Materials upon Termination. Upon termination of Executive’s employment

the Company, all marketing strategies, new product ideas, and other works and ideas, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, pertaining in any manner to the Business (as defined in Section 6.1.1), that are developed or conceived by

expense, Executive shall, at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, after termination of Executive’s employment with the Company), (a) sign any documents and take any other actions that the Company deems necessary
to confirm their ownership of such works and ideas, and (b) otherwise fully cooperate with the Company to allow them to take full advantage of such works and ideas.

and its Affiliates competitive position in the marketplace; and such confidential information could be useful to competitors of the Company for indefinite periods of time; and 
 6.1.4 the covenants of this Section 6 (the “Covenants”) are a material part of the Agreement between the
parties hereto and are an integral part of the obligations of the Executive hereunder; the Covenants are supported by good and adequate consideration; and the Covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the
Company. 
 6.2. Nondisclosure Covenants. At all times after the date hereof, except with Board’s prior written
consent, or except in connection with the proper performance of services for and as an employee of the Company, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity: 
 6.2.1 communicate, publish or otherwise disclose to any Person, or use for the benefit of any Person, any confidential or proprietary
property, knowledge or information of the Company or its Affiliates or concerning any of its business, databases, assets or financial condition, no matter when or how such knowledge or information was acquired, including (i) the identity of
customers and prospects, their specific requirements, and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of individual contacts at customers and prospects; (ii) prices, renewal dates and other detailed terms of customer and supplier contracts and
proposals; (iii) pricing policies, marketing and sales strategies, methods of delivering products and services, and product and service development projects and strategies; (iv) designs, concepts, know-how, user manuals, technical manuals

 6.3 Noncompetition Covenants. During the Term and for a period ending two years after termination of employment with the Company, except with the Board’s prior written consent, Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, in any capacity, at any location worldwide: 
 6.3.1 solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to
solicit, divert or appropriate for the purpose of competing with the Company, any Person who, during and after Executive’s employment with Company, was a customer or employee of the Company, to become a customer or employee of any other Person
that conducts a business competitive with the Business of the Company and its Affiliates as such is conducted by the Company during the Term; or 
  

 5 

 6.3.2 establish, own, manage, operate, finance or control, or participate in the
establishment, ownership, management, operation, financing or control of, or be a director, officer, employee, salesman, agent or representative of, or be a consultant to, or act in any other capacity (with or without compensation) for any Person

 6.4 Certain Exclusions. For purposes of this Section 6, confidential and proprietary knowledge and information of the Company

reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective or similar order prior to such disclosure. The ownership by Executive of not more than one percent of the outstanding securities of any public company shall not, by itself, constitute a breach of the
Covenants contained in Section 6, even if such public company competes with the Company. 
 6.5 Enforcement of
Covenants. Executive expressly acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult to measure the damages that might result from any breach of any of the Covenants, and that any breach of any of the Covenants will result in irreparable injury to
the Company for which money damages could not adequately compensate. If a breach of the Covenants occurs, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies that the Company may have at law or in equity, to have an
injunction issued by any competent court enjoining and restraining Executive and all other Persons involved therein from continuing such breach. The existence of any claim or cause of action that Executive or any such other Person may have against
the Company shall not constitute a defense or bar to the enforcement of any of the Covenants. If the Company must resort to litigation to enforce any of the Covenants that has a fixed term, then such term shall be extended for a period of time equal
to the period during which a breach of such Covenant was occurring, beginning on the date of a final court order (without further right of appeal) holding that such a breach occurred or, if later, the last day of the original fixed term of such
Covenant, provided, however, that such extension will only apply if the Company commences such litigation prior to the end of the fixed term of any such covenant. 
 6.6 Scope of Covenants. If any Covenant, or any part thereof, or the application thereof, is construed to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then the other Covenants, or the other portions of such Covenant, or the application thereof, shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable without regard thereto. If any of the Covenants is determined to be unenforceable
because of its scope, duration, geographical area or other factor, then the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce or limit such scope, duration, area or other factor, and such Covenant shall then be enforceable in its
reduced or limited form.
