Furthermore, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer, Executive shall be primarily responsible for the day-to-day supervision and control of the business and the employees of the Company. Executive shall do and perform all services, acts, or things necessary or advisable to discharge his duties under this Agreement, and such other duties as are commonly performed by an employee of his rank in a publicly traded corporation or which may, from time to time, be prescribed by the Company through the Board. Furthermore, Executive agrees to cooperate with and work to the best of his ability with Company’s management team, which includes the Board and the officers and other employees, to continually improve Company’s reputation in its industry for quality products and performance.

3. NONSOLICITATION AND PROPRIETARY PROPERTY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION PROVISIONS.

(a) Nonsolicitation.

(1) Covenant. Executive hereby covenants and agrees that Executive shall not, either for Executive’s own account or directly or indirectly in conjunction with or on behalf of any person, partnership, corporation or other entity or venture, during the Term and for a period of one (1) year from the date this Agreement terminates or expires, solicit or employ or attempt to solicit or employ any person who is then or has, within twelve (12) months prior thereto, been an officer, partner, manager, agent, consultant or employee of Company or any affiliate of Company, whether or not such a person would commit a breach of that person’s contract of employment or consulting contract with Company or any affiliate of Company, if any, by reason of leaving the service of Company or any affiliate of Company (the “Nonsolicitation Covenant”).

(2)   Acknowledgement. Each of the parties acknowledges that: (i) the covenants and the restrictions contained in the Nonsolicitation Covenant are necessary, fundamental, and required for the protection of the business of Company; (ii) such Covenant relates to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary value; and (iii) a breach of such Covenant will result in irreparable harm and damages which cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award.

(3)   Judicial Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time, despite the express agreement of Company and Executive, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that any portion of this Nonsolicitation Covenant is unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, such Covenant shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time or to the maximum extent in all other respects, as the case may be, as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

(b) Proprietary Property; Confidential Information.

(1) “Applicable Definitions” For purposes of this paragraph 3(b), the following capitalized terms shall have the definitions set forth below:

i. “Confidential Information” - The term “Confidential Information” is collectively and severally defined as any information, matter or thing of a secret, confidential or private nature, whether or not so labeled, which is connected with Company’s business or methods of operation or concerning any of Company’s suppliers, customers, licensors, licensees or others with whom Company has a business relationship, and which has current or potential value to Company or the unauthorized disclosure of which could be detrimental to Company. Confidential Information shall be broadly defined and shall include, by way of example and not limitation: (i) matters of a business nature available only to management and owners of Company of which Executive may become aware (such as information concerning customers, vendors and suppliers, including their names, addresses, credit or financial status, buying or selling habits, practices, requirements, and any arrangements or contracts that Company may have with such parties, Company’s marketing methods, plans and strategies, the costs of materials, the prices Company obtains or has obtained or at which Company sells or has sold its products or services, Company’s manufacturing and sales costs, the amount of compensation paid to employees of Company and other terms of their employment, financial information such as financial statements, budgets and projections, and the terms of any contracts or agreements Company has entered into) and (ii) matters of a technical nature (such as product information, trade secrets, know-how, formulae, innovations, inventions, devices, discoveries, techniques, formats, processes, methods, specifications, designs, patterns, schematics, data, compilation of information, test results, and research and development projects). For purposes of the foregoing, the term “trade secrets” shall mean the broadest and most inclusive interpretation of trade secrets as defined by California’s Uniform Trade Secrets Act and cases interpreting the scope of said Section.

ii. “Proprietary Property” - The term “Proprietary Property” is collectively and severally defined as any written or tangible property owned or used by Company in connection with Company’s business, whether or not such property also qualifies as Confidential Information. Proprietary Property shall be broadly defined and shall include, by way of example and not limitation, products, samples, equipment, files, lists, books, notebooks, records, documents, memoranda, reports, patterns, schematics, compilations, designs, drawings, data, test results, contracts, agreements, literature, correspondence, spread sheets, computer programs and software, computer print outs, other written and graphic records, and the like, whether originals, copies, duplicates or summaries thereof, affecting or relating to the business of Company, financial statements, budgets, projections, invoices.

(2) Ownership of Proprietary Property. Executive acknowledges that all Proprietary Property which Executive may prepare, use, observe, come into possession of and/or control shall, at all times, remain the sole and exclusive property of Company. Executive shall, upon demand by Company at any time, or upon the cessation of Executive’s employment, irrespective of the time, manner, cause or lack of cause of such cessation, immediately deliver to Company or its designated agent, in good condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage by any cause beyond the reasonable control of Executive excepted, all items of the Proprietary Property which are or have been in Executive’s possession or under his control, as well as a statement describing the disposition of all items of the Proprietary Property beyond Executive’s possession or control in the event Executive has not previously returned such items of the Proprietary Property to Company.

(3) Agreement Not to Use or Divulge Confidential Information. Executive agrees that he will not, in any fashion, form or manner, unless specifically consented to in writing by Company, either directly or indirectly use, divulge, transmit or otherwise disclose or cause to be used, divulged, transmitted or otherwise disclosed to any person, firm or corporation, in any manner whatsoever (other than in Executive’s performance of duties for Company or except as required by law) any Confidential Information of any kind, nature or description. The foregoing provisions shall not be construed to prevent Executive from making use of or disclosing information which is in the public domain through no fault of Executive, provided, however, specific information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because it is encompassed by some general information that is published or in the public domain or in Executive’s possession prior to Executive’s employment with Company.

(4) Acknowledgement of Secrecy. Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Information is not generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use and that the Confidential Information derives independent economic value thereby, and Executive agrees that he shall take all efforts reasonably necessary to maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of the Confidential Information and to otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement.

(5) Inventions; Discoveries. Executive acknowledges that any inventions, discoveries or trade secrets, whether patentable or not, made or found by Executive in the scope of his employment with Company constitute property of Company and that any rights therein now held or hereafter acquired by Executive individually or in any capacity are hereby transferred and assigned to Company, and agrees to execute and deliver any confirmatory assignments, documents or instruments of any nature necessary to carry out the intent of this paragraph when requested by Company without further compensation therefor, whether or not Executive is at the time employed by Company. Provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be required to assign his rights in any invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities or Confidential Information was used and which were developed entirely on Executive’s own time, unless (a) the invention relates directly to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated business, or (b) the invention derives from or relates to any work Executive performed for Company.

4. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.

Executive acknowledges that Executive will be subject to the provisions of Sections 10(b) and 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Executive acknowledges that Sections 10(b) and 16 may prohibit Executive from selling or transferring his stock or securities in Company. Executive agrees that he will comply with Company’s policies, as stated from time to time, relating to selling or transferring his stock or securities in Company.

5. COMPENSATION.

(a) Annual Salary. During the Term, Company shall pay to Executive an annual base salary in the amount of $150,000 dollars. The salary paid during the Term shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Annual Salary”. The Annual Salary shall be subject to any tax withholdings and/or employee deductions that are applicable. The Annual Salary shall be paid to Executive in equal installments in accordance with the periodic payroll practices of the Company for its employees.

(b) Annual Bonus. Executive and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall meet to establish performance standards and goals to be met by Executive, which standards and goals shall be mutually agreed to by Executive and the Compensation Committee. Company shall pay to Executive, no later than thirty (30) days after each annual anniversary of the Effective Date, a cash bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) in an amount to be recommended by the Compensation Committee to the Board. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent Executive and the Compensation Committee from mutually agreeing to an alternative computation of the Annual Bonus, which may be implemented and paid to Executive in place of the Annual Bonus described herein. The Annual Bonus shall be subject to any applicable tax withholdings and/or employee deductions.

(c) Cost of Living Adjustment. Commencing as of the Effective Date, and on each January 1st thereafter, the then effective Annual Salary shall be increased (but not decreased) by an amount which shall reflect the increase, if any, in the cost of living during the previous twelve (12) months by adding to the Annual Salary an amount computed by multiplying the Annual Salary by the percentage by which the level of the Consumer Price Index for the Calgary Metropolitan Area, as reported on January 1st of the new year by the Government of Canada has increased over its level as of January 1st of the prior year. The same principle will apply if the Executive relocates to another location in Canada or the United States.

(d) Participation in Employee Benefit Plans. Executive shall have the same rights, privileges, benefits and opportunities to participate in any of Company’s employee benefit plans which may now or hereafter be in effect on a general basis for executive officers or employees. Company may change any benefits contractor, in its sole discretion. Executive represents and warrants that he has no reason to believe that he is not insurable with a reputable insurance company for the limits of the coverage discussed herein. If Executive is deemed to be uninsurable for any of the coverage discussed herein, Company shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement for failing to provide such coverage.

6. EQUITY COMPENSATION.

Company shall offer to Executive, no later than thirty (30) days after each annual anniversary of the Effective Date, an option to purchase shares of Company’s common stock (the “Annual Stock Option Grant”) in an amount to be recommended by the Compensation Committee to the Board. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent Executive and the Compensation Committee from mutually agreeing to alternative forms of equity compensation, including, but not limited to restricted stock grants and/or phantom stock arrangements. The exercise price for any stock shall be the fair market value on the date that the Annual Stock Option Grant or other award is made, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Petrosonic Energy Inc 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), as the Plan may be amended from time-to-time. The right to purchase the common stock shall vest, or any restrictions shall lapse, on the first anniversary after the Annual Stock Option Grant or other award is made. Upon the sale or disposition by Company to an unrelated third party of substantially all of its business or assets, or the sale of the capital stock of Company in connection with the sale or transfer of a controlling interest in Company to an unrelated third party, or the merger or consolidation of Company with another corporation as part of a sale or transfer of a controlling interest in Company to an unrelated third party (any of which shall be deemed to be a “Change in Control”), any part of any offered option or restricted stock which is unvested shall immediately vest. “A controlling interest” shall be defined as 50% or more of the common stock of the Company. Unless otherwise designated in the award agreement, in the event of a termination of Executive's employment, any unvested portion of the Annual Stock Option Grant or any other award of securities subject to vesting conditions shall be governed by the provisions of Section 6.6 of the Plan. Any stock option or other award issued to Executive hereunder shall be adjusted to account for any a stock dividend, forward stock split, reverse stock split or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of Company common stock.

7. REIMBURSEMENT OF BUSINESS EXPENSES.

Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the business of Company. However, each such expenditure shall be reimbursable only if Executive furnishes to Company adequate records and other documentary evidence required by federal and state statutes and regulations issued by the appropriate taxing authorities for the substantiation of each such expenditure as an income tax deduction.

8. ANNUAL VACATION/SICK LEAVE.

Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks paid vacation time each year. Executive shall be entitled to sick leave in accordance with Company’s general policy for its employees.

9. INDEMNIFICATION OF LOSSES.

So long as Executive’s actions were taken in good faith and in furtherance of Company’s business and within the scope of Executive’s duties and authority, Company shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless to the full extent of the law from any and all claims, losses and expenses sustained by Executive as a result of any action taken by him to discharge his duties under this Agreement, and Company shall defend Executive, at Company’s expense, in connection with any and all claims by stockholders or third parties which are based upon actions taken by Executive to discharge his duties under this Agreement.

10. PERSONAL CONDUCT.

Executive agrees promptly and faithfully to comply with all present and future policies, requirements, directions, requests and rules and regulations of Company in connection with Company’s business. Executive further agrees to conform to all laws and regulations and not at any time to commit any act or become involved in any situation or occurrence tending to bring Company into public scandal, ridicule or which will reflect unfavorably on the reputation of Company.

11. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.

Company may terminate Executive for cause immediately, without notice, if Company reasonably concludes that Employee has committed fraud, theft, embezzlement, misappropriation of Company funds or other property, or any felony.

Such demand must identify the manner in which the Board believes that Executive has not substantially performed his duties, and Executive shall have a period of thirty (30) days to correct the deficient performance.

Executive shall not be entitled to continue to participate in any employee benefit plans except to the extent provided in such plans for terminated participants, or as may be required by applicable law.

Executive shall not be entitled to continue to participate in any employee benefit plans except to the extent provided in such plans for terminated participants, or as may be required by applicable law.

 If Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to subsection (d) of this paragraph, Company shall pay to Executive (i) Executive’s accrued but unpaid Annual Salary and the value of accrued but unused vacation pay through the effective date of the termination; (ii) Executive’s accrued but unpaid Annual Bonus, if any; (iii) business expenses incurred prior to the effective date of termination; and (iv) severance consisting of the greater of (y) the salary that would be due to Executive if the employment had not been terminated, or (z) twenty four (24) months of Annual Salary.

All other rights Executive has under any benefit or stock option plans and programs shall be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans and programs.

With the exception of the covenants included in paragraph 3 above and the terms of this paragraph 13, upon termination of Executive’s employment the obligations of Executive and Company under this Agreement shall immediately cease.
