COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made between Cobra Oil & Gas Company., a Nevada corporation and its affiliated companies (collectively referred to as the “Company"), and Massimiliano Pozzoni(“Executive”). Unless otherwise indicated, all references to Sections are to Sections in this Agreement. This Agreement is effective as of the “Effective Date” set forth in Section 14 below.
 
W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company desires to obtain the services of Executive, and Executive desires to be employed by the Company upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as of the date hereof as follows:

1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to serve the Company, as it’s President (“Employment”) for a period of one (1) year beginning on the Effective Date. This Agreement is renewable upon the mutual written consent of the parties.
 
2. Scope of Employment. During the Employment, Executive will serve as President. In that connection, Executive will (i) devote his attention, and energies to the business of the Company and will diligently and to the best of his ability perform all duties incident to his employment hereunder including, but not limited to, carrying out the exploration program and securing financing; (ii) use his best efforts to promote the interests and goodwill of the Company; and (iii) perform such other duties commensurate with his office as the Board of Directors of the Company may from time-to-time assign to him.

3. Compensation and Benefits During Employment. During the Employment, the Company shall provide compensation to Executive as follows.

(a) The Company shall pay Executive $10,000 per month in equal monthly installments. Executive shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes to the Internal Revenue Service as well as any and other taxes payable in the United States or any other country. Executive indemnifies the Company with respect to the payment of any and all taxes owing and due from Executive’s compensation.

(b) The Company shall reimburse Executive for business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the Employment in accordance with the Company’s then-current policies.

(c) Executive will be entitled to participate in any health insurance or other employee benefit plan which the Company may adopt in the future.

(d) Executive will be entitled to five (4) weeks of vacation per year.

(e) Executive will be entitled to participate in any incentive program or discretionary bonus program of the Company which may be implemented in the future by the Board of Directors.

(f) Executive will be entitled to participate in any stock option plan of the Company which may be approved in the future by the Board of Directors.
 
Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company and thus shall not be deemed grounds for Termination for Cause.

4. Confidential Information.

(a) Executive acknowledges that the law provides the Company with protection for its trade secrets and confidential information. Executive will not disclose, directly or indirectly, any of the Company’s confidential business information or confidential technical information to anyone without authorization from the Company’s management. Executive will not use any of the Company’s confidential business information or confidential technical information in any way, either during or after the Employment with the Company, except as required in the course of the Employment.

(b) Executive will strictly adhere to any obligations that may be owed to former employers insofar as Executive’s use or disclosure of their confidential information is concerned.

(c) Information will not be deemed part of the confidential information restricted by this Section 4 if Executive can show that: (i) the information was in Executive’s possession or within Executive’s knowledge before the Company disclosed it to Executive; (ii) the information was or became generally known to those who could take economic advantage of it; (iii) Executive obtained the information from a party having the right to disclose it to Executive without violation of any obligation to the Company, or (iv) Executive is required to disclose the information pursuant to legal process (e.g., a subpoena), provided that Executive notifies the Company immediately upon receiving or becoming aware of the legal process in question. No combination of information will be deemed to be within any of the four exceptions in the previous sentence, however, whether or not the component parts of the combination are within one or more exceptions, unless the combination itself and its economic value and principles of operation are themselves within such an exception or exceptions.

(d) All originals and all copies of any drawings, blueprints, manuals, reports, computer programs or data, notebooks, notes, photographs, and all other recorded, written, or printed matter relating to research, manufacturing operations, or business of the Company made or received by Executive during the Employment are the property of the Company. Upon Termination of the Employment, whether or not for Cause, Executive will immediately deliver to the Company all property of the Company which may still be in Executive’s possession. Executive will not remove or assist in removing such property from the Company’s premises under any circumstances, either during the Employment or after Termination thereof, except as authorized by the Company’s management.

5. Ownership of Intellectual Property.

(a) The Company will be the sole owner of any and all of Executive’s Inventions that are related to the Company’s business, as defined in more detail below.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Inventions” means all inventions, discoveries, and improvements (including, without limitation, any information relating to manufacturing techniques, processes, formulas, developments or experimental work, work in progress, or business trade secrets), along with any and all other work product relating thereto.

(c) An Invention is “related to the Company’s business” (“Company-Related Invention”) if it is made, conceived, or reduced to practice by Executive (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others, whether or not during regular working hours), whether or not potentially patentable or copyrightable in the U.S. or elsewhere, and it either: (i) involves equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of the Company; (ii) involves the time for which Executive was or is to be compensated by the Company; (iii) relates to the business of the Company or to its actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development; or (iv) results, in whole or in part, from work performed by Executive for the Company.

(d) Executive will promptly disclose to the Company, or its nominee(s), without additional compensation, all Company-Related Inventions.

(e) Executive will assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, in protecting any intellectual property rights that may be available anywhere in the world for such Company-Related Inventions, including signing U.S. or foreign patent applications, oaths or declarations relating to such patent applications, and similar documents.

(f) To the extent that any Company-Related Invention is eligible under applicable law to be deemed a “work made for hire,” or otherwise to be owned automatically by the Company, it will be deemed as such, without additional compensation to Executive. In some jurisdictions, Executive may have a right, title, or interest (“Right,” including without limitation all right, title, and interest arising under patent law, copyright law, trade-secret law, semiconductor chip protection law, or otherwise, anywhere in the world, including the right to sue for present or past infringement) in certain Company-Related Inventions that cannot be automatically owned by the Company. In that case, if applicable law permits Executive to assign Executive’s Right(s) in future Company-Related Inventions at this time, then Executive hereby assigns any and all such Right(s) to the Company, without additional compensation to Executive; if not, then Executive agrees to assign any and all such Right(s) in any such future Company-Related Inventions to the Company or its nominee(s) upon request, without additional compensation to Executive.

(g) To the extent that Executive retains any so-called “moral rights” or similar rights in a Company-Related Invention as a matter of law, Executive authorizes the Company or its designee to make any changes it desires to any part of that Company-Related Invention; to combine any such part with other materials; and to withhold Executive’s identity in connection with any business operations relating to that Company-Related Invention; in any case without additional compensation to Executive.

6. Legal Fees and Expenses. In the event of a lawsuit, arbitration, or other dispute-resolution proceeding between the Company and Executive arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party, in the proceeding as a whole and/or in any interim or ancillary proceedings (e.g., opposed motions, including without limitation motions for preliminary or temporary injunctive relief) will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses unless the court or other forum determines that such a recovery would not serve the interests of justice.

7. Successors.

(a) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon (i) the Company and its successors and assigns and (ii) Executive and Executive’s heirs and legal representatives, except that Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement are of a personal nature and will not be assignable or delegable in whole or in part.

(b) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "the Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

8. Arbitration.

(a) Except as set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 8 or to the extent prohibited by applicable law, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be submitted to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association in effect on the date of the demand for arbitration. The arbitration shall take place before a single arbitrator, who will preferably but not necessarily be a lawyer but who shall have at least five years’ experience in working in or with mining companies. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitration shall take place in the city in which Executive’s principal office space is located at the time of the dispute or was located at the time of Termination of the Employment (if applicable). The arbitrator is hereby directed to take all reasonable measures not inconsistent with the interests of justice to expedite, and minimize the cost of, the arbitration proceedings.

(b) To protect inventions, trade secrets, or other confidential information of Section 4 the Company may seek temporary, preliminary, and/or permanent injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, in each case, without waiving its right to arbitration.

(c) At the request of either party, the arbitrator may take any interim measures s/he deems necessary with respect to the subject matter of the dispute, including measures for the preservation of confidentiality set forth in this Agreement.
 
(d) Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
 
9. Indemnification.
 
(a) Company shall to the full extent permitted by law or as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, and any future amendments, and the Bylaws of the Company, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Executive from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including attorney's fees, court costs and disbursements) arising out of the performance of duties hereunder except in the case of willful misconduct.

(b) Executive shall indemnify the Company with respect to the payment of any and all taxes owed under this Agreement.
