made by and between Kelyniam Global, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),

WHEREAS,
the Company hereby acknowledges the need to retain non-employee directors by
encouraging and enabling the acquisition of a financial interest in the Company
by such directors through the issuance of restricted shares of Common Stock of
the Company; by providing such directors a stake in the growth and profitability

shareholders of the Company more effectively; and to reward them for continuing
to provide valuable services to the Company and contributing to the Company’s
future success. For the purposes of this Agreement, non-employee director is any
person who is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
and who is not a full-time employee of the Company;
WHEREAS,
the purpose of this Agreement is to place a resale limitation restriction on the
resale of shares of common stock previously issued to the Participant that have
not yet been registered;
WHEREAS,
the Board acting in the absence of a Compensation Committee maintains the
150,000 shares of common stock restricted under Rule 144 previously issued to
Participant in the meeting of the Board on March 11, 2008, and are hereby
available for sale pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
WHEREAS, this Agreement shall encompass
a five year period beginning from the date of this Agreement;
NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
Shares. Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby
acknowledges the previously issued 150,000 shares of common stock (the
“Restricted Shares”) to the Participant. The Restricted Shares shall vest
and become non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2.
2.
Vesting.
(a) Subject
to the Participant’s continued service on the Board and the terms of this
Agreement, all of the Restricted Shares outlined hereunder shall become
unrestricted from rule 144 (herein “vested”) unconditionally on the fifth
(5th)
anniversary of the Agreement Date, divided evenly over 5 years, represented as 5
terms of service as a director, at a rate of 30,000 shares of common stock
vested per term.
(b) As
soon as practicable following the completion of each term and in compliance with
the requirements of Rule 144 as set forth by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the restriction under rule 144 shall be lifted at the Company’s
Transfer Agent for the amount of common stock vested for each term.
(c) If
the Participant’s service on the Board is terminated for any reason prior to the
fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Agreement Date, a pro rata portion of the Restricted Shares
shall vest based on the ratio that the number of days the Participant served on
the Board since the Agreement Date bears to the full 5 years of service, and the
remaining Restricted Shares, to the extent not then vested, shall be forfeited
by the Participant without consideration.
3.
Certificates. The
Restricted Shares have been issued by the Company and registered in the
Participant’s name and shall remain in the physical custody of the Participant
or its designee at all times prior to the vesting of such Restricted Shares
pursuant to Section 2.
4.
Rights as a
Shareholder. The Participant shall be the record owner of the
Restricted Shares until or unless such Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section
2 hereof and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a common
shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights with
respect to the Restricted Shares and the Participant shall receive, when paid,
any dividends on all of the Restricted Shares outlined herein as to which the
Participant is the record holder on the applicable record date; provided that the
Restricted Shares shall be subject to the limitations on transfer and
encumbrance set forth in Section 5.
5.
Transferability.
The Restricted Shares may not, at any time prior to becoming vested pursuant to
Section 2, be transferred, sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
disposed of in any manner.
6.
Board
Membership. Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) obligates
the Company to retain the Participant as a member of its Board (or employ the
Participant in any capacity whatsoever), or (ii) prohibits or restricts the
Company from terminating its relationship with the Participant at any time or
for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, and the Participant hereby
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any other Person has made
any representations or promises whatsoever to the Participant concerning the
Participant’s continued membership on its Board or employment of the Participant
by the Company.
7.
Adjustments.
If, prior to the time the restrictions imposed by Section 2 on the Restricted
Shares outlined herein lapse, there is a change in the outstanding common stock
by reason of a stock split, spin-off, stock combination, reclassification,
recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, merger, change in
control, or other event, the Board may adjust appropriately the number and kind
of shares subject to the Agreement, and make such other revisions to the
Agreement as it deems, in good faith, is equitably required. For the
avoidance of doubt, in its sole discretion, the Board may provide, in the event
of a change in control, or other similar event, that the Restricted Shares
shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited, immediately become
fully vested and non-forfeitable.
8.
Withholding.
It shall be a condition of the Participant upon receipt of Restricted Shares
that the Participant pay and is held liable for any Federal, state or local
income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such
Restricted Shares, or any applicable taxes from capital gains given to the
Participant from the sale if his vested shares. The Participant is hereby
advised to seek his own tax counsel regarding the taxation of the Restricted
Shares previously issued and outlined herein.
9.
Securities
Laws. The previously issued Restricted Shares hereunder and
un-restriction of the same as described in Section 2, shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals of any governmental
agencies as may be required.
10.

notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be
addressed to the Company, and any notice to be given to the Participant shall be
addressed to him at the address given beneath his signature hereto. By a
notice given pursuant to this Section 10, either party may hereafter designate a
different address for notices to be given. Any notice which is required to

previously informed the Company of his status and address by written notice
under this Section 10. Any notice shall have been deemed duly given when
enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid,
