EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement") is effective as of January 1, 2009, between EFT BIOTECH HOLDINGS INC., a Nevada corporation and a California registered corporation, ("EFT or the Company") and Jack Jie Qin. The parties agree as follows:

 

	
1.

	
Employment. EFT hereby agrees to employ Employee and Employee hereby agrees to work for EFT as its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer. Employee's principal office shall be in City of Industry, California. So long as Employee is employed by EFT, Employee shall devote Employee's skill, energy and substantially most of his business-related efforts to the faithful discharge of Employee's duties as an employee of EFT. In providing services hereunder, Employee shall comply with and follow all directives, policies, standards and regulations from time to time established by the Board of Directors of EFT, which are applicable to EFT.

 

	
2.

	
Term of Employment. Employee's employment by EFT pursuant to this Agreement shall continue in effect for a term of seven (7) years from the date of this Agreement (the "Initial Period"), which shall be automatically extended, without any action on the part of Employee or EFT, for additional, successive one-year periods (each such one-year period, an "Additional Period" and all of such one-year periods collectively, the "Additional Periods") commencing on the second anniversary date of this Agreement and on each anniversary date thereafter, unless either party gives notice of non-renewal of this Agreement, as provided in Section 10(e) of this Agreement, or otherwise terminates this Agreement, in accordance with the other provisions of Section 10 hereof.

 

	
3.

	
Representations and Warranties. Employee represents and warrants that Employee is under no contractual that will limit in any way Employee's activities on behalf of EFT or its Affiliates or will prohibit or limit the disclosure or use by Employee of any information that directly or indirectly relates to the businesses of EFT or its Affiliates, or the services to be rendered by Employee under this Agreement.

 

	
4.

	
Compensation. Subject to the provisions of Section 10 of this Agreement, Employee will be entitled to the compensation and benefits set forth in this Section 4.

	 	
(a)

	
During the Initial Period, EFT shall pay Employee an Annual Base Salary, payable semimonthly, in equal installments, at a rate equal to $200,000 per year for the first calendar year or portion thereof occurring during the term of this Agreement. In each subsequent calendar year, or portion thereof, occurring during the term of this Agreement, EFT shall pay to Employee an Annual Base Salary determined by the Compensation Increase Scale as reviewed and approved by the EFT Board of Directors Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of EFT following its annual salary and performance review. Employee's Annual Base Salary for each succeeding calendar year (or portion thereof) occurring during the term of this Agreement will be reviewed at least annually in the fourth quarter of each calendar year of Employee's employment hereunder, commencing in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2009. In the event this Agreement is terminated or expires during any calendar year, the amount of such Annual Base Salary owed by EFT to Employee, if any, will be determined pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement.

	 	
(b)

	
Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual base salary adjustment in each subsequent calendar year or portion thereof as a cost of living increase at ten percent (10%) per annum.

 

	 	
(c)

	
Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus pursuant to the Executive Bonus Scale in effect, for executive employees of EFT. The Executive Bonus Scale rewards executives based upon profit improvements of EFT. The scale rewards the executives in direct proportion to increases in gross profits.

  

 

  

 

Example 1:

FY 3/31/08 Gross Profit is $20,000,000.

FY 3/31/09 Gross Profit is $19,000,000.

As there was no increase in profits, executives receive no bonus.

 

Example 2:

FY3/31/08 Gross Profit is $20,000,000.

FY 3/31/09 Gross Profit is $24,000,000 = 20% increase.

Executives will receive a bonus equal to 20% of his/her base pay.

 

The bonus, if any, will be earned for Employee's performance during each calendar year (or portion thereof) occurring during the term of this Agreement, but will be finally determined and paid following the closing of the books and records of EFT for such calendar year and review of same by the Compensation Committee of EFT. In the event this Agreement is terminated or expires during any calendar year, the amount of such bonus, if any, owed by EFT to Employee will be determined pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement.

 

	 	
(d)

	
All payments of salary and other compensation to Employee shall be made after deduction of any taxes required to be withheld with respect thereto under applicable federal, state and local laws.

 

  

 

  

	
5.

	
Fringe Benefits; Expenses.

 

	 	
(a)

	
During the term of employment of Employee hereunder, Employee shall participate in all employee benefit plans sponsored by EFT for its executive employees, which may include, but will not be limited to, stock bonus, stock purchase, stock performance incentive and stock option plans, sick leave and disability leave, health insurance, dental insurance and pension and/or profit sharing plans; provided, however, that except as provided below, the existence, nature, amount and limitations of such plans shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of EFT.

 

	 	
(b)

	
EFT will reimburse Employee for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Employee in the scope of Employee's employment; provided, however, that Employee must file expense reports with respect to such expenses in accordance with EFT's policies as are in effect from time to time, and any expenses requiring the approval of any officer or the Board of Directors of EFT pursuant to any policies of EFT then in effect shall have been so approved.

 

	 	
(c)

	
During the term of employment of Employee hereunder, Employee shall be entitled to a minimum of two (2) weeks paid vacation during each calendar year and to paid holidays and other paid leave set forth in EFT's policies in effect from time to time. Any vacation not used during a calendar year may not be used during any subsequent period.

 

	 	
(d)

	
During the term of employment of Employee hereunder, EFT will pay all license fees, occupation taxes and reasonable educational costs and expenses necessary to maintain Employee's good standing under any professional licenses required in connection with Employee's employment by EFT.

 

	 	
(e)

	
During the term of this Agreement, EFT shall use its reasonable efforts to provide to Employee (i) life insurance payable to Employee's designated beneficiary or beneficiaries in an amount at least three times Employee's Annual Base Salary and (ii) disability insurance on behalf of Employee which, as a goal, shall provide for salary continuation in the event of permanent disability in an amount equal to the lesser of (I) 60% of Employee's Annual Base Salary, or (II) $10,000 per month.

 

	 	
(f)

	
EFT is currently investigating a car program for executives which either furnishes an appropriate automobile commensurate with the position occupied or an allowance which shall allow the employee to lease/purchase a vehicle reflective of his/her position. An automobile policy will be introduced before the end of fiscal year 2009.

 

	
6.

	
Indemnification and Insurance. EFT shall indemnify Employee with respect to matters relating to Employee's services as an officer and/or director of EFT or any of its Affiliates, occurring during the course and scope of Employee's employment with EFT, to the extent and pursuant to the procedures set forth in EFT's By-laws, and in accordance with the terms and procedures of any other indemnification which is generally applicable to executive officers of EFT that may be provided by the Board of EFT from time to time. The foregoing indemnity is contractual and will survive any adverse amendment to or repeal of the By-laws. EFT will also cover Employee under a policy of officers' and directors' liability insurance providing coverage that is comparable to that provided now or hereafter to any other executive officer or director of EFT. The provisions of this Section 6 will survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

  

 

  

	
7.

	
Change in Control. If a Change of Control occurs and if during the Protected Period, Employee's employment is terminated or not renewed pursuant to Section 10, whether by EFT or by Employee, then EFT shall promptly pay or otherwise provide to Employee the benefits set forth below:

 

	 	
(a)

	
An amount equal to two times the sum of (i) Employee's Annual Base Salary then in effect and (ii) the amount of Employee's target bonus established by the Compensation Committee of EFT at the beginning of the calendar year in which such termination occurs, which shall not be less than 10% of the Annual Base Salary for such year, payable in a single lump sum by certified or bank cashier's check within 30 days of such termination; and

 

	 	
(b)

	
An amount equal to the product of (i) the maximum monthly premium payment that may be charged to continue coverage for Employee and Employee's dependents under EFT's health insurance plan under COBRA, and under all life insurance and disability policies provided by EFT for Employee, multiplied by (ii) 24. Such amount shall be payable semi-monthly in accordance with EFT's policies then in effect over a period of twenty-four (24) calendar months beginning in the first calendar month following the effective date of such termination. Any unpaid amounts under this clause (b) will cease if Employee obtains substantially similar coverage under new employment.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be entitled to any benefits under this Section 7 if such termination is by EFT for Cause or by Employee for other than Good Reason as provided in Section 10 below.

 

	
8.

	
Gross-Up of Parachute Payments.

 

	 	
(a)

	
To provide Employee with adequate protection in connection with Employee's ongoing employment with EFT, this Agreement or other incentive plans of EFT provide Employee with various benefits in the event of termination of Employee's employment with EFT during the Protected Period following a Change of Control. If Employee's employment is terminated or not renewed pursuant to Section 10 during a Protected Period following a Change of Control, or otherwise in connection with a "change of control" of EFT, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), a portion of those benefits could be characterized as "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. The parties hereto acknowledge that the protections set forth in this Section 8 are important, and it is agreed that Employee should not have to bear the full burden of the excise tax that might be levied under Section 4999 of the Code or any similar provision of federal, state of local law, in the event that any portion of the benefits payable to Employee pursuant to this Agreement or the other incentive plans of EFT are treated as an excess parachute payment. The parties, therefore, have agreed as set forth in this Section 8.

 

	 	
(b)

	
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if it shall be determined that any payment or distribution (including income recognized by Employee upon the early vesting of restricted property or upon the exercise of options whose exercise date has been accelerated) by EFT or any other Person to or for the benefit of Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 8) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar provision of any federal, state or local law or any interest or penalties are incurred by Employee with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then EFT shall pay an additional payment, not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate (a "Gross-Up Payment"), in an amount such that after payment by Employee of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment, Employee retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Excise Tax imposed on the Payments. Employee will bear the cost of the remaining 50% until the aggregate Gross-Up Payments from EFT have reached $250,000, and will thereafter bear all additional taxes, interest or penalties.

  

 

  

 

	 	
(c)

	
In the event of any dispute as to the applicability or amount of any Gross-Up Payment, all determinations required to be made under this Section 8, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the independent public accounting firm regularly employed by EFT (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to EFT and to Employee within 15 business days after the receipt of notice from Employee that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by EFT. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be borne by EFT. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Employee, it shall furnish Employee with a written statement that failure to report the Excise Tax on Employee's applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding on EFT and Employee unless and until a final determination is received from the Internal Revenue Service indicating a contrary result. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments may not have been made by EFT that should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. If Employee thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by EFT to or for the benefit of Employee, consistent with the maximum limitation stated in Section 8(b) above. In the event it is determined by the Accounting Firm that the Gross Payments previously made by EFT exceeded the limitations stated in Section 8(b) above, upon written notice from EFT, accompanied by a copy of the Accounting Firm's calculation of same, the amount of such overpayment shall be promptly paid by Employee to EFT.

 

	
9.

	
Options and Other Stock-Related Plans. The terms and conditions of any option, stock bonus, restricted stock, stock award or other stock-related plan or program with respect to capital stock of EFT, which may be granted to Employee, or in which Employee may participate, shall be governed by the applicable EFT plan, if any, and/or separate agreement(s) between EFT and Employee with respect thereto.

 

	
10.

	
Termination or Non-Renewal of Employment

	 	
(a)

	
Termination by Either Party; General Provisions. Either EFT or Employee may terminate this Agreement and Employee's employment hereunder at any time during the term of this Agreement by delivery of written notice by the terminating party to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of such termination as set forth in such notice; provided that notice under this Section 10(a) shall only be effective to terminate this Agreement in situations not governed by Section 10(e) of his Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after such termination is effective, in addition to any other payments or benefits provided in this Section 10, EFT shall pay to Employee an amount equal to the sum of (i) Employee's unpaid Annual Base Salary prorated through the date of termination of this Agreement at the rate in effect at the time of such termination, (ii) vacation pay earned pursuant to the policies of EFT then in effect but not taken to the date of such termination, and (iii) all other amounts previously deferred by Employee or earned by Employee as reflected in the books and records of EFT but not paid as of such date under the Company's incentive or deferred compensation plans or programs.

If EFT terminates Employee's employment without Cause (except as provided in Section 10(d) below), or if Employee terminates Employee's employment for Good Reason, EFT shall promptly pay or otherwise provide to Employee the following amounts in addition to those set forth in Section 10(a) of this Agreement:

 

	 	
(i)

	
An amount equal to two times the sum of (A) Employee's Annual Base Salary then in effect and (B) the amount of Employee's target bonus established by the Compensation Committee of EFT at the beginning of the calendar year in which such termination occurs, which shall not be less than 10% of the Annual Base Salary for such year, payable in a single lump sum by certified or bank cashier's check within 30 days of such termination; and

 

	 	
(ii)

	
An amount equal to the product of (A) the maximum monthly premium payment that may be charged to continue coverage for Employee and Employee's dependents under EFT's health insurance plan under COBRA, and under all life insurance and disability policies provided by EFT for Employee multiplied by (B) 24. Such amount shall be payable semi-monthly in accordance with EFT's policies then in effect over a period of twenty-four (24) calendar months beginning in the first calendar month following the effective date of such termination. Any unpaid amounts under this clause (ii) will cease if Employee obtains substantially similar coverage under new employment.

 

	 	
(d)

	
Termination on Disability. If at any time during the term of Employee's employment hereunder, Employee is unable to perform the essential functions of Employee's job with or without reasonable accommodation, EFT shall continue payment of Employee's compensation as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement during the first twelve (12) month period of such disability to the extent not covered by EFT's disability insurance policies (EFT may offset against its obligations in this sentence the amounts actually received by Employee under such policies). If Employee should die during the term of Employee's employment hereunder, Employee's employment and EFT's obligations hereunder for compensation payments shall terminate as of the end of the month in which Employee's death occurs.

 

	 	
(e)

	
Non-Renewal of Employment; General Provisions. Either EFT or Employee may elect not to renew Employee's employment hereunder at the end of the Initial Period, or at the end of any Additional Period thereafter, by delivery of written notice by the electing party to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of such termination, as set forth in such notice. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the employment term (in addition to any other amounts provided in Section 10(f) below in the case of a non-renewal by EFT), EFT shall pay to Employee an amount equal to the sum of (i) Employee's unpaid Annual Base Salary prorated through the date of termination of this Agreement at the rate then in effect at the time of such non-renewal, (ii) vacation pay earned pursuant to the policies of EFT then in effect but not taken to the date of such termination, and (iii) all other amounts previously deferred by Employee or earned by Employee as reflected on the books and records of EFT but not paid as of such date under all Company incentive or deferred compensation plans or programs.

(f)

	
Non-Renewal by EFT at End of Initial Period or Additional Period. If EFT elects not to continue this Agreement and renew Employee's employment as of the end of the Initial Period or an Additional Period, and provided in EFT's reasonable good faith determination, Employee continues to perform Employee's duties and responsibilities through the end of such Initial Period or Additional Period, as the case may be, then the Company shall promptly pay or otherwise provide to Employee the following amounts in addition to those set forth in Section 10(a):

 

	 	
(i)

	
An amount equal to the sum of (A) Employee's Annual Base Salary then in effect and (B) the amount of Employee's target bonus established by the Compensation Committee of EFT at the beginning of the calendar year in which such non-renewal occurs, which shall not be less than 10% of the Annual Base Salary for such year, payable in a single lump sum by certified or bank cashier's check within 30 days of such non-renewal; and

 

	 	
(ii)

	
An amount equal to the product of (A) the maximum monthly premium payment that may be charged to continue coverage for Employee and Employee's dependents under EFT's health insurance plan under COBRA, and under all life insurance and disability policies provided by EFT for Employee multiplied by (B) 12. Such amount shall be payable semimonthly in accordance with EFT's policies then in effect over a period of twelve (12) calendar months beginning in the first calendar month following the effective date of such non-renewal. Any unpaid amounts under this clause (ii) will cease if Employee obtains substantially similar coverage under new employment.

 

	 	
(g)

	
Waiver of Claims. In the event this Agreement expires as a result of non-renewal by EFT, or is terminated by EFT without Cause or because Employee is unable to perform the essential functions of his or her job, with or without reasonable accommodation, in accordance with Section 10(d) hereof, or is terminated by Employee with Good Reason, Employee agrees to accept, in full settlement of any and all claims, losses, damages and other demands that Employee may have arising out of such termination or non-renewal, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the payments, benefits and vesting of rights set forth in this Agreement. Employee waives any and all rights Employee may have to bring any cause of action or proceeding contesting any such termination or non-renewal. Under no circumstances shall Employee be entitled to any compensation or confirmation of any benefits under this Agreement for any period of time following Employee's date of termination if Employee's termination is for Cause, or Employee's election to not renew this Agreement at the end of the Initial Period or any Additional Period, or Employee's election to terminate his or her employment without Good Reason.

 

	 	
(h)

	
Lock-ups, etc. During the one (1) year period after Employee receives the lump sum payments as provided in Section 10(c) or (f) above, Employee shall sign any lock-up letters, standstill agreements, or other similar documentation specifically required by an underwriter from such Employee in connection with a public offering of securities by EFT or take other actions reasonably related thereto as requested by the Board of Directors of EFT; provided, however, that equivalent agreements are being required of EFT management and the period of any such lock-up or standstill agreements shall not exceed the shorter of (i) 180 days or (ii) the balance of the one (1) year period. In the event Employee fails to sign any such letters, agreements or similar documentation or take any such action, EFT may seek and obtain specific performance of such covenant, including, without limitation, any injunction requiring execution thereof or the taking of any such actions, and Employee hereby appoints the then president of EFT in office from time to time to sign any such documents on Employee's behalf so long as such documents are prepared on the same basis as other shareholders generally or as all EFT management shareholders.

  

 

  

	
11.

	
No Mitigation Obligation. All amounts paid to Employee under this Agreement following Employee's termination of employment and this Agreement are acknowledged by EFT and Employee to be reasonable and to be liquidated damages, and Employee will not be required to reduce the amount of such payments by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will any profits, income, earnings or other benefits from any source whatsoever (including from other employment) create any mitigation, offset, reduction or any other obligation on the part of Employee under this Agreement.

 

	
12.

	
Covenant Not to Compete.

 

	 	
(a)

	
During Employee's employment with EFT or any of its Affiliates, and thereafter during the Restricted Period, in order to help, among other things, ensure the security of EFT's Confidential Information, regardless of the reason for the termination of Employee's employment and this Agreement, Employee will not engage in or carry on, directly or indirectly, either for himself or as a member of a partnership or as a shareholder, investor, owner, officer or director of a company or other entity, or as an employee, agent, associate or consultant of any person, partnership, corporation or other entity, any business in any State of the United States or in any other part of the world that directly competes with any services or products produced, sold, conducted, developed, or in the process of development by EFT or its Affiliates on the date of termination of Employee's employment.

 

	 	
(b)

	
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be deemed to be in violation of Section 12(a) based solely on the ownership of less than one percent of any class of securities of a publicly-held company whose gross assets exceed $100,000,000.

 

	 	
(c)

	
Employee acknowledges that (i) during the term of this Agreement, Employee will be provided training by EFT or its Affiliates and access to certain Confidential Information related to the business and operations of EFT and its Affiliates and (ii) the limitations set forth herein on Employee's rights to compete with EFT and its Affiliates are reasonable and necessary for the protection of EFT and its Affiliates. In this regard, Employee specifically agrees that the limitations as to period of time and geographic area, as well as all other restrictions on Employee's activities specified herein, are reasonable and necessary for the protection of EFT and its Affiliates.

 

	 	
(d)

	
In the event that there shall be any violation of the covenant not to compete set forth in this Section 12, then the time limitation thereof shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time during which such violation continues; and in the event EFT is required to seek relief from such violation in any court, board of arbitration or other tribunal, then the covenant shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency of such proceedings, including all appeals.

 

	 	
(e)

	
Employee agrees that the remedy at law for any breach by Employee of this Section 12 will be inadequate and that EFT shall also be entitled to injunctive relief.

  

 

  

 

	
13.

	
Confidential Information. During the term of Employee's employment hereunder, and for five (5) years after Employee's termination of employment, Employee shall not use or disclose, without the prior written consent of EFT, Confidential Information relating to EFT or any of its Affiliates and upon termination of Employee's employment will return to EFT all written materials in Employee's possession embodying such Confidential Information. Employee will promptly disclose to EFT all Confidential Information, as well as any business opportunity related to EFT which comes to Employee's attention during the term of Employee's employment with EFT. Employee will not take advantage of or divert any such business opportunity for the benefit of Employee or any other Person without the prior written consent of EFT.
