B. In connection with the Merger, the Corporation intends to raise $1,500,000 of investment capital (the "Merger-Related Financing");

C. The Executive is currently serving as the President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation under an interim compensation arrangement (the "Interim Arrangement"); and

D. Subject to the closing of the Merger and effective upon the date that the Merger becomes effective (the "Commencement Date"), the Corporation desires to continue to receive the services of the Executive, and the Executive desires to continue to render services to the Corporation, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, in replacement of the Interim Arrangement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties mutually agree as follows:

1. Employment. The Corporation hereby employs the Executive and the Executive hereby accepts employment as an executive of the Corporation, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2. Duties. The Executive shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation with such duties, responsibilities and authority as are commensurate and consistent with his position, as may be, from time to time, assigned to him by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Executive shall report directly to the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and the President, the Chief Financial Officer and all other "C" level officers of the Corporation shall report to the Executive. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall devote his full business time and efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder unless otherwise authorized by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the expenditure of reasonable amounts of time by the Executive for the making of passive personal investments, the conduct of private business affairs and charitable and professional activities shall be allowed, provided such activities do not materially interfere with the services required to be rendered to the Corporation hereunder.

3. Term of Employment. The term of the Executive's employment hereunder, unless sooner terminated as provided herein (the "Initial Term"), shall be for a period of two (2) years commencing on the Commencement Date. The term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for additional terms of one (1) year each (each a "Renewal Term") unless either party gives prior written notice of non-renewal to the other party ("Non-Renewal Notice") no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as the case may be. For purposes of this Agreement, the Initial Term and any Renewal Term are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Term."

4. Compensation of Executive.

(a) The Corporation shall pay the Executive as compensation for his services hereunder, in equal semi-monthly or bi-weekly installments (at the same time as the Corporation pays its other executive officers) during the Term, the sum of $150,000 per annum (the "Base Salary"), less such deductions as shall be required to be withheld by applicable law and regulations. The Corporation shall review the Base Salary on an annual basis and shall increase such Base Salary in its discretion.

(b) In addition to the Base Salary set forth in Section 4(a) above, the Executive shall be entitled to such bonus compensation (in cash, capital stock or other property) as the Corporation's compensation committee may determine or if the Corporation does not have a compensation committee, as a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine from time to time in their sole discretion. Without limiting the discretion of the compensation committee or the Board of Directors to award other and additional bonus compensation, the Executive shall be entitled to receive effective on the Commencement Date, the Corporation shall grant to the Executive 5,000,000 restricted stock units (the "RSUs"). Of these RSUs, 1,666,667 shall be fully vested on the date of grant and the balance shall vest in approximately equal parts (1,666,6667 first) one year and two years from the closing date of the Merger, subject to continued employment with the Corporation on each applicable vesting date.

(c) The Corporation shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive in the course of his employment, consistent with the Corporation's policy for reimbursement of expenses from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation shall pay or reimburse the Executive for (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive in the course of his employment, recognizing that the principal location of Executive's employment hereunder will be in Scottsdale, Arizona, and (ii) all reasonable legal expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the preparation and review of this Agreement.

(d) The Executive shall be entitled to participate in such pension, profit sharing, group insurance, hospitalization, and group health and benefit plans, dental plans and all other benefits and plans as the Corporation provides to its senior executives (the "Benefit Plans").

(f) By no later than 15 days following the Commencement Date, the Corporation shall obtain and have in effect officers and directors liability insurance coverage with such amounts of coverage, from such insurers and on such terms and conditions as, in the reasonable judgment of the Executive, are customary and appropriate for the Corporation.

(i) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided herein by seeking other employment or by becoming engaged in any other undertaking to earn a livelihood or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for herein be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after termination of employment, or as a result of his engagement in any undertaking otherwise.

(a) The Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him under the provisions of this Agreement are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that it would be difficult or impossible to replace such services. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach by him of Section 9 of this Agreement shall entitle the Corporation, in addition to all other legal remedies available to it, to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach.

(b) Neither the Executive nor the Corporation may assign or delegate any of their rights or duties under this Agreement without the express written consent of the other; provided however that the Corporation shall have the right to delegate its obligation of payment of all sums due to the Executive hereunder, provided that such delegation shall not relieve the Corporation of any of its obligations hereunder.

(c) This Agreement, when effective, constitutes and embodies the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the Executive's employment by the Corporation, supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the Executive and the Corporation. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or changed except by an instrument in writing executed by the party to be charged. The invalidity or partial invalidity of one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not invalidate any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver by either party of any provision or condition to be performed shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same time or any prior or subsequent time.

(d) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against, the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, beneficiaries and permitted assigns.

(e) The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Notices shall be deemed given on the sooner of the date actually received or the third business day after sending.

(g) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada.
