1. Terms of Engagement

1.1. BEA is engaged in the business of, among other things, logistics, warehousing, distributing, developing, manufacturing, buying, and selling of aerospace fasteners and consumables through various channels and mediums including most recently, e-commerce.  BEA’s business is highly unique and specialized, and the market for its products and services is worldwide, highly competitive and price sensitive.

1.2. BEA wishes to engage Consultant (the “Engagement”) to provide certain services set forth on Exhibit 1 to this Agreement (collectively, the “Services”).  If possible, the Services may be performed electronically or telephonically.

1.3. The Engagement commences on March 1, 2014, and terminates on February 28, 2017, unless extended as provided herein (the “Consulting Period”).

1.4. Consultant agrees to make no representations, warranties or commitments on behalf of BEA to any third-party and shall not execute any agreement on BEA’s behalf in providing the Services without BEA’s specific prior written consent.

1.5. During the Consulting Period, Consultant shall be required to be reasonably available to devote no more than sixty (60) hours during any given calendar month to performing the Services, as specified by BEA from time to time.  BEA shall set deadlines and goals for the performance of the Services under this Agreement and may limit Consultant’s access to BEA’s property to certain hours, but Consultant shall maintain discretion as an independent contractor to perform the Services under this Agreement within those deadlines, goals and limitations.

1.6. On a monthly basis, BEA shall compensate Consultant at a rate of Thirty Seven Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars ($37,225) per month, payable in arrears on the last day of the month (pro-rated for partial months) (“Consulting Fees”).

4.3. Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant is free to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement does not violate any agreement to which Consultant is a party.

5. General Provisions

5.2. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and commitments between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  No provision of this Agreement may be terminated, amended, modified, or waived, by course of dealing or otherwise, unless such termination, amendment, modification, or waiver is set forth in a written agreement referencing this Agreement and executed by Consultant and BEA.  Any variance from, or addition to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any present or future document delivered from one party to the other will be of no effect unless agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of the party receiving the document.

(ii) I agree that, upon termination of my employment (if applicable) and/or tenure as an independent contractor with the Company for any reason (regardless of whether or not the Company retains me as a consultant) or at any other time upon the Company’s request, I shall return to Company, without retaining any copies, all Proprietary Information and Trade Secrets, as well as all other Company’s documents and other materials, which are in my possession regardless of the form in which any such materials are kept;

To the extent that any such work product is created, I will be considered to have created a Work Made for Hire as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, and the Company shall have the sole right to the copyright. In the event that any such work product created by me does not qualify as a Work Made for Hire, I hereby assign the copyright and all rights, throughout the world, in and to the work product to the Company, as provided for in paragraph (v) below. I agree to turn over to the Company all physical manifestations of the Proprietary Information and Trade Secrets in my possession or under my control at the request of the Company;

(iv) I acknowledge that all documents, in hard copy or electronic form, received, created or used by me in connection with my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor with the Company are and will remain the property of the Company. I agree to return all such documents (including all copies) promptly upon the termination of my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor, certify that no other documents remain, and agree that, during or after my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor, I will not, under any circumstances, without the written consent of the Company, disclose those documents to anyone outside the Company or use those documents for any purpose other than the advancement of the Company's interests;

(v) I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the work product (including Proprietary Information and/or Trade Secrets) and any rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem proper or necessary in order to apply for, register, obtain, maintain, defend, and enforce such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such work product and any rights relating thereto, and testifying in a suit or other proceeding relating to such work product and any rights relating thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. In connection with my execution of this Agreement, I hereby irrevocably grant to the Company an irrevocable power of attorney designating and appointing the Company’s duly authorized officer as my agent and attorney in fact, should I become unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason, to sign any documents with respect to any work product including, without limitation, permitting the Company to apply for or pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering such work product. In connection with such power of attorney, I permit the agent to act for and on my behalf and stead to execute and file any papers, oaths and to do all other lawfully permitted acts with respect to such work product with the same legal force and effect as if executed or done by me.

(vi) In case the governing law mentioned in Article 8.1 of the Agreement would be deemed inapplicable by a judge or an arbitrator, the following provisions shall apply: In the course of the Services, I may realize works of the mind including, but not limited to, brochures, literary works, drawings, illustrations, plans or databases (the “Creations”). I hereby acknowledge to assign to BEA all intellectual property rights in and in relation to the Creations as and when they are created, including, but not limited to, registered and non-registered copyrights, designs, trademarks, and all related goodwill, applications for registration for any such rights as may exist anywhere in the world, and the right to make such applications (the “Intellectual Property Rights”).

5

	Therefore, I acknowledge to assign to BEA all Intellectual Property Rights, in the entire world, for the duration of protection of such Intellectual Property Rights, for any present and future purposes and use, including, without limitation, the right to use, the right to reproduce, the right to adapt and the right to represent, being specified that:
	·	the right to use includes the right to use the Creations and the Intellectual Property Rights on the Creations, for any purposes and in any manner;
	·	the right to reproduce includes the right to reproduce the whole or part of the Creations by any means and in any form and format, whether known at present or to be discovered in the future, on any supports including analogical or digital media, by any process whether known at present or to be discovered in the future, in any language and in any territory, and to make or have made unlimited number of any original or copies;
	·	the right to adapt includes the right to correct mistakes, to make any version, in any language, and notably in computer language, of all or part of the Creations, and more generally the right to translate, arrange, modify, transform all or part of the Creations in writing, orally, or in an analogical or digital way, for any kind of use and/or exploitation;
	·	the right to represent includes the right to publicly represent or have represented the Creations, by any means whether known at present or to be discovered in the future, notably the diffusion, the broadcasting in analogical and/or digital way, on any computer and telecommunication networks, open and/or private, national and/or international, in the specialized or mass diffusion networks.
	I expressly agree that my compensation for the assignment of the Intellectual Property Rights consists of a lump sum, due to the fact that the basis of calculation of a proportionate compensation cannot be determined in practice. I agree that such compensation is included in the global compensation described in Article 1.4 of the Agreement and corresponds to 5% of the latter.

5. Competitive Employment. During the Agreement Period, including any extensions thereof (as applicable), I agree that I will not directly or indirectly own, manage, work for, provide services to, obtain financial interest in, control or participate in the ownership, management or control of, or be employed or engaged by or otherwise affiliated or associated as a consultant, director, agent, independent contractor or otherwise with any other corporation, partnership, proprietorship, firm, association or other entity that is engaged in any manner in the business of the Company.

I further agree that during the same period I will not directly or indirectly own, manage, work for, provide services to, obtain financial interest in, control or participate in the ownership, management or control of, or be employed or engaged by or otherwise affiliated or associated as a consultant, director, agent, independent contractor or otherwise with any business entity that is not engaged in the business of the Company in any market in which the Company conducts business or provides services where such other business entity could utilize or gain a business or economic advantage through the use of Proprietary Information, Trade Secrets, my training by the Company, my relationship with the Company’s customers, suppliers, vendors, clients or investors or prospective customers, suppliers, vendors, clients or investors or the Company’s goodwill.

I may make passive investments in publicly traded entities not to exceed 3% of the outstanding voting securities of such public entity, provided, however, that such investment do not prevent me from abiding by this Agreement, including this Paragraph 5.

6. Non-solicitation. During the Agreement Period and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, I will not solicit or encourage, or cause others to solicit or encourage, any employees, suppliers, vendors, or consultants of/to the Company to terminate their employment or other relationship, as applicable, with the Company.

6

7. Acts to Secure Proprietary Rights.  I agree to perform, during and after the Agreement Period, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist it, at the Company’s expense, in perfecting and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title throughout the world in the Company Inventions. Such acts may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in the registration and enforcement of applicable patents and copyrights or other legal proceedings.

8. No Conflicting Obligations. My performance of this Agreement does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by me prior to my employment, consultancy, and/or tenure as an independent contractor with the Company. I will not disclose, induce, or permit the Company to, either directly or indirectly, use, any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or other person or entity. I am not a party to any other agreement that will interfere with my full compliance with this Agreement. I will not enter into any agreement, whether written or oral, conflicting with the provisions of this Agreement.

9. Survival. Notwithstanding the termination of the Agreement Period, this Agreement shall survive such termination and continue in accordance with its terms and conditions.

10. Specific Performance. A breach of any of the promises or agreements contained herein will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company for which there will be no adequate remedy at law, and the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or a decree for specific performance, and such other relief as may be proper (including monetary damages, if appropriate).

11. Waiver. The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by me will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by me.

12. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, that part will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force.

13. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws (other than the conflict of laws rules) of the state of Florida.

14. Entire Agreement. Except for that certain Consulting Agreement between me and the Company, this Agreement and the Exhibits to this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to this subject matter and supersede all prior or simultaneous representations, discussions, negotiations and agreements, whether written or oral, except for prior proprietary rights agreements which shall for the period prior to the effective date of this agreement be deemed to be in addition to, and not in lieu of, this Agreement for such prior period. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the written consent of both me and the Company. No oral waiver, amendment or modification will be effective under any circumstances whatsoever.
