A.

The Company desires to employ Executive under the terms, conditions and benefits as hereinafter described.

Executive desires to render services to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE II
EMPLOYMENT AND RESPONSIBILITIES

1.1

Employment. The Company hereby employs Executive as its President, subject to the supervision and direction of the Company's board of directors (the "Board").

1.2

Assignment of Duties. Executive shall have such duties as defined in Exhibit A or as may be assigned to Executive from time to time by the Board and executive officers senior to Executive, consistent with the responsibilities of the position of President.  

1.3

Executive's Devotion of Time.  Executive shall devote Executive’s full time, abilities and energy to the faithful performance of the duties assigned to Executive under this Agreement and the promotion of the business affairs of the Company.  Executive shall not divert any business opportunities from the Company to Executive or to any other person or business entity.

1.4

Conflicting Activities.  Executive shall not, during the term of this Agreement, be engaged in any other business activity without the prior written consent of the Board; provided, however, that this restriction shall not be construed as preventing Executive from investing Executive's personal assets and time in business entities that are not in competition with the Company or its affiliates.

ARTICLE III
COMPENSATION

During the Term (as defined below), the Company shall pay Executive the following compensation:

1.5

Salary.  In consideration of the services to be rendered by Executive to the Company, the Company will pay to Executive a monthly salary of $19,500.00 (U.S. dollars nineteen thousand five hundred, the "Base Salary") during the Term, which salary may be increased (but not decreased) from time to time in the sole discretion of the Board.  Such Base Salary shall be payable in conformity with the Company's customary practices for executive compensation, as such practices shall be established or modified from time to time, but the Base Salary shall be paid to Executive no less frequently than once each month.

1.6

Bonus.  Executive will be eligible to earn an annual bonus for each calendar year, as determined by the Board based upon the Company's performance as well as the Executive meeting certain performance objectives to be defined by the early portion of each calendar year.  Any bonus earned shall be paid within ninety (90) days following the end of the Company's fiscal year end.  For 2010, Executive's bonus opportunity will be based on the performance targets as provided in the attached Exhibit B.

1.7

Compensatory Equity.  Executive will be eligible to be awarded options to acquire common stock or other equity compensation awards under the Company's or its affiliates' stock incentive plan (once such plan is adopted and approved by the Board and Company stockholders).  Executive's equity awards level will be determined by the administrator of the stock incentive plan.

1.8

Benefits.  During the Term, Executive will be eligible to participate on the same basis as other Company executive employees in the Company's employee benefit plans, including, without limitation, health insurance, as such benefits or plans may be modified or amended from time to time.  If the Company discontinues or does not provide health insurance, or if the terms of that health insurance preclude Executive from receiving health insurance coverage comparable to other Company executive employees, then Company shall reimburse Executive the cost of premiums that Executive actually incurs in connection with procuring a stand alone health insurance policy comparable in scope to any health insurance policy the Company provides to other executives, or if no such policy exists, a commercially reasonable policy for similarly situated executive employees.

1.9

Vacation.  During the Term, Executive will be eligible to accrue 30 days of paid vacation each year.  Such vacation shall be taken at such times and intervals as shall be agreed to by the Company and Executive in their reasonable discretion.  Executive shall cease to accrue further vacation at any time that Executive has an unused vacation accrual of 40 days.

1.10

Expenses.  The Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses including, without limitation, service for cell phone or personal digital assistant (PDA) device, business travel expenses, reasonably incurred or paid by Executive in the performance of his responsibilities hereunder in accordance with the Company's prevailing policy and practice relating to reimbursements as modified from time to time.  Executive must provide substantiation and documentation of these expenses to the Company in accordance with Company policy in order to receive reimbursement.

ARTICLE III
TAXES

1.11

Executive Tax Obligations.  Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments made under this Agreement to Executive or Executive's estate or beneficiaries will be subject to tax withholding pursuant to any applicable laws or regulations.  Executive will be solely liable and responsible for the payment of Executive's taxes arising as a result of any payment hereunder including without limitation any unexpected or adverse tax consequence.  

1.12

Section 409A.  This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  In the event this Agreement or any benefit paid to Executive hereunder is deemed to be subject to Code Section 409A, Executive consents to the Company adopting such conforming amendments as the Company deems necessary, in its reasonable discretion, to comply with Code Section 409A.  In addition, if Executive is a specified employee (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) at the time of Executive's separation from service, then to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A, the payment of certain benefits owed to Executive under this Agreement will be delayed and instead paid (without interest) to Executive upon the earlier of the first business day of the seventh month following Executive's separation from service or ten business days after Executive's death.

ARTICLE IV

TERM

The Company shall employ Executive on the terms and conditions set forth herein during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on June 30^th 2010, unless terminated earlier in accordance with ARTICLE V (the "Initial Term").  Thereafter the Initial Term will continue on a whole fiscal quarter to whole fiscal quarter basis until either party provides the other party written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the applicable Term (the Initial Term and any extensions thereof shall be referred to as the "Term").  For the purpose of clarity, if the Initial Term should expire prior to the end of the then current fiscal quarter, the Agreement shall continue in effect until the end of the next whole fiscal quarter immediately succeeding such current fiscal quarter, and then continue whole fiscal quarter by whole fiscal quarter thereafter until terminated as provided herein.  Termination of employment at the expiration of the Initial Term or the Term shall not be considered Good Reason or a termination of Executive's employment by the Company without Cause.  Unless the Company requests otherwise in writing, upon termination of Executive's employment for any reason, Executive shall be deemed to have immediately resigned from all positions with the Company (and its affiliates) as of Executive's last day of employment (the "Termination Date").

ARTICLE V
TERMINATION

1.13

Accrued Payments.  Executive's employment under this Agreement may be terminated prior to the end of the Initial Term or Term as follows in this ARTICLE V.  Upon termination of Executive's employment for any reason, on the Termination Date Executive shall receive the "Accrued Payments" which shall consist of: (i) earned but unpaid Base Salary; (ii) unused vacation days, if any, to the extent accrued through the Termination Date; and (iii) payment of any outstanding reimbursable business expenses.

1.14

At Executive's Option.  Executive may terminate his employment under this Agreement at any time for any reason upon written notice.  In the event of a termination of this Agreement by Executive, he shall be entitled to the Accrued Payments.  

1.15

Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate Executive's employment under this Agreement for Cause at any time upon prior written notice to Executive.  In the event of a termination of Executive's employment for Cause, Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Payments.  Termination by the Company shall constitute a termination for "Cause" if such termination is for one or more of the following reasons:

1.15.1

the continued failure or refusal of Executive to substantially fulfill his obligations under this Agreement or the material breach by Executive of any of the terms of this Agreement, which is not cured within 30 days of Executive’s receipt of written notice to Executive identifying the nature of such failure or refusal or breach;

1.15.2

a material breach by Executive of his fiduciary duties or the commission by Executive of an act of fraud or embezzlement or his misappropriation of any money or other assets or property (whether tangible or intangible) of the Company or its subsidiaries;

1.15.3

Executive's engagement in willful misconduct resulting in a material injury to the business, financial condition or operations of the Company or its subsidiaries and which is not authorized by the Board or executive officers senior to Executive; or

1.15.4

the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere by, Executive of a felony or any crime or civil violation involving moral turpitude.

1.16

At the Election of the Company without Cause.  If the Company terminates Executive's employment under this Agreement without Cause, then in addition to the Accrued Payments, Executive will be eligible to receive a Severance Package (as defined below) subject to Section 5.6.  The severance benefits payable to Executive (the "Severance Package") will consist of the following:

1.16.1

Salary and Bonus payments

(a)

Twelve (12) months of Executive’s Base Salary then in effect on the Termination Date, with such cash severance payments payable to Executive in substantially equal monthly installments commencing as of the last day of the month of the Termination Date (provided however that the first installment will not be paid until the Section 5.6 Release has become effective and further provided that such first installment will be a larger amount to account for the passage of time following the Termination Date in case such first payment occurs more than one month after its scheduled date of payment);

(b)

Six (6) months of Bonus payment after the Termination Date that would have accrued to Executive should the Company achieve its performance objectives during this period as per Section 2.2 for performance objectives already defined as of the Termination Date.  

1.16.2

The Company agrees for twelve (12) months after the Termination Date to continue to reimburse Executive for self-acquired health insurance coverage as per Section 2.4 or, if Executive is participating in the Company’s employee benefit plans, to pay an amount equal to the Company's portion of the premiums required to continue Executive’s (and his dependents) group health insurance benefits under the applicable provisions of COBRA, provided that Executive timely elects to continue and remains eligible for these benefits under COBRA, and does not obtain health insurance benefits through another employer during this period.  Executive shall provide advance written notice to the Company informing the Company when the Executive is offered or becomes eligible for other group health insurance benefits in connection with new employment.  In addition, if periodically requested by the Company, the Executive will provide the Company with written confirmation that he has not been offered other group health insurance benefits.

1.17

Resignation for Good Reason.  If Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, then in addition to the Accrued Payments,  Executive shall be eligible to receive the Severance Package subject to Section 5.6.  Payments of the Severance Package shall be made at the same times specified in Section 5.4.  "Good Reason" shall mean (i) a material diminution in the Executive's authority, duties or responsibilities, (ii) change in reporting structure that diminishes Executive’s rank in the Company, (iii) any reduction in the Base Salary, or (iv) the Company's material breach of this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, Executive may resign his employment from the Company for "Good Reason" within sixty (60) days after the date that any one of the Good Reason events listed above has first occurred without Executive's written consent. Executive's resignation for Good Reason will only be effective if the Company has not cured or remedied the Good Reason event within 30 days after its receipt of Executive's written notice (such notice shall describe in detail the basis and underlying facts supporting Executive's belief that a Good Reason event has occurred).  Such written notice must be provided by Executive to the Company within 30 days of the initial existence of the alleged Good Reason event.  Failure to timely provide such written notice to the Company means that Executive will be deemed to have consented to and waived the Good Reason event.  If the Company does timely cure or remedy the Good Reason event, then Executive may either resign his employment without Good Reason or Executive may continue to remain employed subject to the terms of this Agreement.

1.18

Release of Claims and Covenant Not to Sue.  The Severance Package will be paid if and only if Executive timely satisfies all of the following conditions: (i) Executive complies with all surviving provisions of this Agreement; (ii) Executive executes (and does not revoke) a release of claims and covenant not to sue (the "Release") substantially in the form provided in the attached Exhibit C (and as may be reasonably modified by the Company) and remains in full compliance with such Release and (iii) such Release must become effective within 60 days after the Termination Date.

1.19

Code Section 280G.  In the event that it is determined that any payment or distribution of any type to or for Executive's benefit made by the Company, by any of its affiliates, by any person who acquires ownership or effective control or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) or by any affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of an employment agreement or otherwise, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties, are collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then such payments or distributions or benefits shall be payable either:  (i) in full; or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such payments or distributions or benefits being subject to the Excise Tax.

Executive shall receive the greater, on an after-tax basis, of (i) or (ii) above, provided however that to the extent applicable, Executive may elect to subject the payments that are in excess of the permissible maximum payment amount specified under Code section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) to a stockholder vote as provided for under Code section 280G(b)(5).

Unless Executive and the Company agree otherwise in writing, any determination required under this Section 5.7 shall be made in writing by an independent certified public accountant selected by the Company (the "Accountant") whose determination shall be conclusive and binding. Executive and the Company shall furnish the Accountant such documentation and documents as the Accountant may reasonably request in order to make a determination. The Company shall bear all costs that the Accountant may reasonably incur in connection with performing any calculations contemplated by this Section.

1.20
