In consideration of, and conditional upon, Executive signing this Agreement and agreeing to comply with the terms and conditions herein, providing a completed and signed independent adviser’s certificate as required by Section 5 below and complying with its terms, the Company agrees to pay Executive the following amounts, and provided that Executive has not been terminated for Cause prior to the Separation Date:

(a) the Company will pay (or will cause another Company Party (as defined below) to pay) to Executive a lump sum payment of US$1,000,000, representing compensation for 27 years of service with the Company, less applicable withholdings and deductions, within ten (10) days after the Separation Date;

Payment will be made direct to Executive’s legal counsel.

(d) as at the Effective Date, Executive is not aware nor ought reasonably to be aware of any facts or matters which might give rise to a claim by Executive for personal injury against the Company.

6. Restrictive Covenants.

6.1 Covenant not to Disclose.

During and after Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will not use, disclose, or reveal to any third party any Confidential Information (defined below) except when acting in good faith within the scope of Executive’s duties, with prior written authorization from the Board, or in exercising a legal right to communicate with a government agency. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to limit Executive’s non-disclosure obligations under any applicable rule, statute, regulation or other Company policy.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means all information belonging to, or otherwise relating to the business of the Company, which is not generally known, regardless of the manner in which it is stored or conveyed to Executive. Confidential Information includes the Company’s trade secrets, formulae and processes, as well as other proprietary knowledge, information, know-how and non-public intellectual property rights. Confidential Information also includes the Company’s product specifications, ideas, conceptions and compilations of data, whether or not patentable or copyrightable and whether or not conceived, originated, discovered or developed in whole or in part by Executive. For example, Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information concerning the Company’s software and code, encryption, algorithms, business plans, operations, products, financial and business strategies, marketing, sales, inventions, designs, costs, legal strategies, finances, employees, current and prospective customers, licensees or licensors; information received from third parties (such as consultants, co-venturers, etc.) under confidential conditions; and other valuable financial, commercial, business, technical or marketing information concerning the Company or any of the products or services made, developed or sold by the Company. Confidential Information does not include information that: (A) was generally known to the relevant public or industry at the time of disclosure; (B) was lawfully received by Executive from a third party; or (C) was known to Executive prior to receipt from the Company; provided that, in each case, such exceptions apply only if such public knowledge or possession by an independent third party was without breach by Executive or any third party of any obligation of confidentiality or non-use, including but not limited to the obligations and restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, Executive will, within three (3) days, return all Company property, including, without limitation, any documents, physical and electronic files, customer lists, notes, records, technical reports, procedures or specifications, market research reports, correspondence, plans, research, notebooks, drawings, employee lists, and Executive shall retain no copies thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive shall be entitled to retain copies of previous board minutes of the Company, copies of any materials circulated to the Board before any board meetings of the Company occurring prior to the Effective Date, and any documents provided to stockholders of the Company prior to the Effective Date.

6.2 Covenants not to Solicit or Hire.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Restraint of Trade Agreement dated as of [_____] 2003, by and among Newshelf 713 (Proprietary) Limited, Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. and Executive, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Restraint of Trade Agreement”) to the contrary, during employment with the Company and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Separation Date, Executive shall not, for the purpose of providing products or services that are in competition with the products or services of the Company, directly or indirectly contact, solicit or accept business from any of the Company’s current or prospective customers or end users with whom Executive had direct contact with or solicited on behalf of the Company in the twelve (12) months prior to Executive’s termination.

During employment with the Company and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Separation Date, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, contact, solicit, recruit or hire any employee or contractor of the Company with whom Executive worked or had contact for the purpose of causing, inviting or encouraging any such employee or contractor to alter or terminate his or her employment or business relationship with the Company.

The term “solicit” means: (A) to make any comments or engage in any conduct that would influence a decision to continue doing business with the Company, regardless of how contact is initiated; or (B) to make any comments or engage in any conduct that would influence a decision to continue an employment or contracting relationship with the Company or accept employment with another company, regardless of how contact is initiated.

Nothing contained herein shall preclude the hiring of any such employee who (a) responds to a general solicitation of employment through an advertisement not targeted specifically at the Company or its employees or (b) is referred to Executive by search firms, employment agencies, or other similar persons or entities, provided that such persons or entities have not been specifically instructed by Executive to solicit the employees of the Company.

6.3 Covenants not to Compete. The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that the Restraint of Trade Agreement shall continue to apply for its term of twenty-four (24) months after the Separation Date, subject to (i) the modifications set forth in Section 6.2 of this Agreement, (ii) Section 1(h)(i) of the Consulting Agreement, and (iii) the following modification of the definition of “Business” in the Restraint of Trade of Agreement:

1.1.2

“Business” means engage in any business activity relating to the marketing, distribution, offering, licensing, selling or provision of Restricted Products and Services (any business enumerated above is referred to herein as a “Competing Business”); or (ii) purchase or acquire, directly or indirectly, a record or beneficial interest exceeding a one percent (1%) equity interest in any entity which is engaged in a Competing Business. “Restricted Products and Services” means any of the services or products currently offered by the Company, including, without limitation, transaction processing solutions, financial technology solutions and services, clinical risk management solutions, online transaction processing, cryptography, mobile telephony, integrated circuit card (chip/smart card) technologies, and the design and provision of financial and value-added services related to such services.

6.4 Acknowledgements. Executive acknowledges that: (i) the covenants of this Section 6 are supported by sufficient consideration, including employment with the Company, continued access to the Company’s Legitimate Business Interests (defined below), and the equity awards, indemnity and other benefits provided under Section 2; (ii) the Company has invested substantial resources into the development, protection and retention of its Confidential Information, employees, customers, goodwill and business (collectively, “Legitimate Business Interests”); (iii) the Legitimate Business Interests have significant intrinsic value and are not readily achieved or duplicated; (iv) Executive has been and will continue to be given access to and familiarity with the Legitimate Business Interests; (iv) the Company operates and markets its business in countries all around the world, and Executive has been and will be directly responsible for that business in each of those countries and in every state of the United States; and (v) the covenants of this Section are therefore reasonable and necessary to protect the Legitimate Business Interests.

6.5 Remedies for Breach. In the event of Executive’s actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement (including but not limited to a breach of the Restraint of Trade Agreement), the Company, in addition to all other rights, shall be entitled to a temporary and permanent injunction from a court restraining Executive from breaching this Agreement and shall be entitled to terminate all payments under this Agreement without notice.

6.6 Extension of Time. The period of time during which Executive is subject to the Agreement shall be extended for that amount of time during which Executive is in breach of the Agreement.

7. Rights in Developments.

7.1 Executive acknowledges and agrees that all Inventions (defined below) which Executive has made, conceives, reduces to practice or developed (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) at any during Executive’s employment with the Company whether prior to or during the term of this Agreement (up to the Separation Date) shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. Unless the Company decides otherwise, the Company shall be the sole owner of all rights in connection therewith. All patented, patent-pending and copyright-protected Inventions are and at all times shall remain “work made for hire.” Executive hereby assigns to the Company any and all of Executive’s rights to any Inventions, absolutely and forever, throughout the world and for the full term of each and every such right, including renewal or extension of any such term, provided that this Agreement does not apply to an Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on Executive’s own time, unless (i) the Invention relates directly to the Restricted Business; or (ii) the Invention results from any work performed by Executive for the Company. The term “Inventions” means any works of authorship, discoveries, formulae, encryption, processes, improvements, inventions, designs, drawings, specifications, notes, graphics, source and other code, trade secrets, technologies, algorithms, computer programs, audio, video or other files or content, ideas, designs, processes, techniques, transaction authentication, payments processing, know-how and data, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, made, conceived, reduced to practice or developed by Executive, either alone or jointly with others, during Executive’s employment.

7.2 Executive agrees to perform all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, in evidencing, perfecting, obtaining, maintaining, defending and enforcing the Company’s rights and/or Executive’s assignment with respect to such Inventions in any and all countries. Such acts may include, without limitation, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings.

7.3 Executive agrees to assist the Company in obtaining patents or copyrights on any Inventions assigned to the Company that the Company, in its sole discretion, seeks to patent or copyright. Executive also agrees to sign all documents, and do all things necessary to obtain such patents or copyrights, to further assign them to the Company and to protect the Company against infringement by other parties. Executive agrees that while employed by the Company or while providing Services (as defined in the Consulting Agreement), such actions will be without additional compensation, but at no expense to Executive.

7.4 All information and records regarding all Inventions, and all copies thereof, shall be the property of the Company as to any Inventions within the meaning of this Agreement. Such records should be considered proprietary information of the Company and are subject to the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees to promptly surrender all such records and information, and all copies thereof, at the request of the Company, or within three (3) days after termination of Executive’s employment.

7.5 Executive has attached hereto as Exhibit G (“Existing Inventions”) a complete list of all existing Inventions to which Executive claims ownership as of the Effective Date and that Executive desires to clarify are not subject to this Agreement, and Executive acknowledges and agrees that such list is complete. If no such list is attached to this Agreement, Executive represents that Executive has no such Inventions at the time of signing this Agreement.

8. Indemnification. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify, diminish or alter any rights of Executive to indemnification under the articles of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company or applicable state law, any rights of Executive under any insurance policy of the Company, or any rights of Executive to enforce the terms of this Agreement. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Date, the Company shall not amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws relating to the exculpation or indemnification of any current or former officer or director (unless required by law) that would be considered adverse to the Executive, it being the intent of the parties that the officers and directors of the Company shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification to the fullest extent of the law. The Company shall maintain its existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance, or other liability insurance held by the Company that covers events occurring prior to the Effective Date, on terms and in amounts no less favorable to its officers and directors than its existing officers’ and director’s liability insurance for a period of six (6) years after Effective Date. If the Company or any of its successors or assigns (a) shall consolidate with or merge into any other person or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (b) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this paragraph. The provisions of this Section are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, Executive and Executive’s heirs and representatives, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that Executive may have had by contract or otherwise.

9. Release by Company. In consideration for the general release by Executive, the Company, on behalf of the Company Parties, hereby fully, forever, unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges Executive and each of Executive’s affiliates, spouse, successors, executors, administrators, agents, heirs and assigns (together with Executive, the “Executive Parties”) from all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, charges, complaints, , actions, suits, rights, debts, sums of money, costs, accounts, reckonings, covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, doings, omissions, damages, executions, obligations, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs), of every kind and nature, in law, equity or otherwise, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, that any of the Company Parties ever had or now have against any or all of the Executive Parties, however originating or existing, from the beginning of time through the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising out of or relating to the relationship between Executive and the Company, the services performed by Executive for the Company, Executive’s cessation of services to the Company, or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the claims released in this Section 9 (the “Company Released Claims”) do not include, and nothing contained herein shall operate to release any of Executive’s promises and obligations under this Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) or with respect to any fraud or gross negligence of Executive in the performance of his duties. The Company hereby covenants, promises and agrees not to, and agrees to cause each of the other Company Parties not to, bring any action or claim, legal, equitable or otherwise, asserting or relating to any Company Released Claims (i) in any court of any jurisdiction or in any agency or other unit of any governmental authority, local, state, national or foreign, (ii) with any arbitral body, forum or arbitration tribunal, or (iii) in any mediation proceeding, against any of the Executive Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing covenant not to xxx shall not apply to or prohibit enforcement of the terms of this Agreement.

10. Publicity; Non-disparagement.

(a) Neither party will issue, absent prior written consent of the other party, any press release or make any public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the employment or consulting relationship between them, or the ending of such relationship (except as required by applicable securities laws or exchange requirements).

(b) From and after the Effective Date, the Company shall use best efforts to recognize and list Executive as the Company’s founder and the inventor (and patent holder) of the technology utilized in the Company’s operations, including the original funds transfer system patent in all public announcements, marketing or other materials describing the Company’s history, and press releases, as well as on the Company’s website; provided, however, that any failure to do so shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement.

(c) To the extent permitted by law, from and after the Effective Date, Executive shall not, in public or private, make any false, disparaging, derogatory or defamatory statements to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, any media outlet, industry group, financial institution or current or former employee, current or future board member, consultant, client or customer of the Company, regarding the Company or the Company’s business affairs, business prospects, or financial condition. In turn, and to the extent permitted by law, from and after the Effective Date, the Company shall not, and shall cause its senior management team, Board members and other Company Parties not to, in public or private, make any false, disparaging, derogatory or defamatory statements about Executive to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, any media outlet, industry group, financial institution or current or former employee, board member, consultant, client or customer of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a breach of this provision, or of this Agreement, for any person to provide testimony or make any statement to any (1) court, government agency or law enforcement authority when required to do so by subpoena, court order, law or administrative regulation, or (2) securities regulator or stock exchange or market when required to do so by subpoena, court order, law or administrative regulation, if in either of the foregoing cases, he or she reasonably believes such testimony or statement to be truthful, even if disparaging or derogatory.

11. Authority. The parties, and each of them, represent and warrant that they have not sold, assigned, granted, or transferred to any other person or entity any claim, demand, or cause of action hereby released. This Agreement shall not be construed to be an admission of any liability or obligation by either party, and neither party makes any such admission. Each party denies any liability whatsoever.

c. Modification; Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the parties shall receive the benefit contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted by law. If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Company”), and Serge C.P. Belamant (“Consultant”) effective as June 1, 2017 (the “Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to engage Consultant on a consulting basis for a limited period of time.

NOW, THEREFORE, is agreed by and between the undersigned as follows:

1. Retention of Services. Effective June 1, 2017, the Company shall retain Consultant, and Consultant agrees to be retained by the Company on a consulting basis to consult with the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer on matters regarding the Company’s international expansion strategy for a period of two years until May 31, 2019 (“Consulting Period”), to provide the services set forth on Exhibit A (“Services”), unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 1(h) hereof. The Consulting Period may only be extended by written mutual agreement of the parties.

(a) Consulting Fees. During the Consulting Period, Consultant shall receive a consulting fee in the amount of $50,000 per month, plus any applicable value-added tax (VAT), prorated for a partial month. The consulting fee shall be payable monthly in arrears by the Company on the last business day of the month following the month in which the Services were rendered. Upon the termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall be entitled to receive all undisputed and unpaid consulting fees accrued up to the date of termination.

(b) Independent Contractor Relationship. During the Consulting Period, Consultant’s relationship with the Company will be that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or should be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship. Consultant will not be entitled to any of the benefits that the Company may make available to its employees, including, but not limited to, group health, life insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits, paid vacation, holidays or sick leave. Consultant will be solely responsible for obtaining any business or similar licenses required by any governmental authority for him to perform the Services. Consultant will be solely responsible for, and will file on a timely basis, all tax returns and payments required to be filed with, or made to, any tax authority with respect to the Services and receipt of compensation under this Agreement.

This Agreement constitutes a contract for the provision of services and not a contract of employment. As such, the Consultant shall bear exclusive responsibility for the payment of any National Insurance, income tax and any other form of taxation or social security cost (“Taxation”) in respect of payments made to him under this Agreement including the payment of Taxation. The Consultant shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Company against any liability, loss, damage, cost, claim or expense the Company suffers or incurs as a result of any claims against the Company for such sums and other claims arising out of the Consultant being found to be an employee of the Company (including, without limitation, any claims against the Company for any Taxation and other contributions required by law to be paid in respect of any payments made to the Consultant under this Agreement).

Without prejudice to the indemnity in this Section 1(b), if, for any reason, the Company shall become liable to pay, or shall pay, any Taxation or other payments as referred to in this Section 1(b), the Company shall be entitled to deduct from any amounts payable to the Consultant all amounts so paid or required to be paid by the Company and, to the extent that any amount of taxes paid or required to be paid by the Consultant shall exceed the amounts payable by the Company to the Consultant, the Consultant shall indemnify the Company in respect of such liability and shall, upon demand, forthwith reimburse the Company such excess.

(c) Method of Performing Services. In accordance with the Company’s objectives, Consultant will determine the method, details and means of performing the Services within the parameters established by the Company. The Company shall have no right to, and shall not, control the manner or determine the method of performing the Services. Consultant shall provide the Services to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and in compliance with all applicable laws.

(d) Workplace, Hours and Instrumentalities. Consultant may perform the Services at any place or location. Consultant shall also determine the days and times for performing the Services; provided, in no event shall Consultant be required to provide Services in excess of 20 days/hours per month/week. Consultant agrees to provide all equipment, supplies and instrumentalities, if any, required to perform the Services. Consultant shall be reimbursed by the Company for ordinary, necessary and reasonable business expenses, including travel expenses, consistent with the budget approved by the Company and incurred by Consultant in the performance of the Services hereunder; provided such expenses have been (a) documented by Consultant in accordance with the Company’s policies and applicable law and (b) all expenses have been specifically approved in advance in writing by an authorized officer of the Company. In all events, acceptable documentation of expenses must be submitted to the Company no later than sixty (60) days following the date such expenses were incurred, and the Company shall reimburse Consultant within thirty (30) days following receipt of such documented expenses.

(e) Ownership and Return of Company Property. All materials (including, without limitation, documents, technology, research, reports, drawings, models, apparatus, designs, lists, all other tangible media of expression), equipment, documents, data, and other property furnished to Consultant by the Company or made by Consultant in the performance of the Services under this Agreement (collectively, the “Company Property”) are the sole and exclusive property of the Company. Upon termination of this Agreement and after the Consulting Period, or at any time upon the Company’s request, Consultant shall destroy or deliver to the Company, at the Company’s option: (a) all Company Property and (b) all tangible media of expression in Consultant’s possession or control which incorporate or contain any Confidential Information (as defined herein).

(f) Observance of Company Rules. At all times while on the Company’s premises, Consultant will observe the Company’s rules and regulations with respect to conduct, health and safety and protection of persons and property.

(g) Non-Exclusivity; No Conflict of Interest. This Agreement is not exclusive for either party; provided that Consultant shall not perform work or accept an obligation inconsistent or incompatible with Consultant’s obligations, or the scope of the Services rendered for Company under this Agreement.

(h) Termination. Notwithstanding the Consulting Period of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated as follows:

i. Termination by Company. Company may terminate this Agreement at any time, with termination effective ninety (90) days after Company’s delivery to Consultant of written notice of termination. In such case, the Company shall pay to Consultant as a termination payment an amount equal to 100% of the Consulting Fees that would have been paid to Consultant from the termination date through the end of the Consulting Period had this Agreement not been terminated (the “Termination Payment”); provided, however, the parties agree that if the Company determines, in its discretion, and indicates in writing that it shall waive Consultant’s compliance with the Restraint of Trade Agreement (as defined and modified in that certain Separation and Release of Claims Agreement, dated May 24, 2017, by and between Company and Consultant), then no such Termination Payment shall be paid. Such payment, if any, shall be made within fifteen (15) days of the date this Agreement terminates.

ii. Termination by Consultant. Consultant may terminate this Agreement at any time, with such termination effective ninety (90) days after Consultant’s delivery to Company of written notice of termination.

2. Indemnification. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify, diminish or alter any rights of Consultant to indemnification under the articles of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company or applicable state law, any rights of Consultant under any insurance policy of the Company, or any rights of Consultant to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

3. Publicity; Non-disparagement.

(a) Neither party will issue, absent prior written consent of the other party, any press release or make any public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the consulting relationship between them, or the ending of such relationship (except as required by applicable securities laws or exchange requirements).

(b) To the extent permitted by law, from and after the Effective Date, Consultant shall not, in public or private, make any false, disparaging, derogatory or defamatory statements to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, any media outlet, industry group, financial institution or current or former employee, current or future board member, consultant, client or customer of the Company, regarding the Company or the Company’s business affairs, business prospects, or financial condition. In turn, and to the extent permitted by law, from and after the Effective Date, the Company shall not, and shall cause its senior management team, Board members and other Company Parties not to, in public or private, make any false, disparaging, derogatory or defamatory statements about Consultant to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, any media outlet, industry group, financial institution or current or former employee, board member, consultant, client or customer of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a breach of this provision, or of this Agreement, for any person to provide testimony or make any statement to any (1) court, government agency or law enforcement authority when required to do so by subpoena, court order, law or administrative regulation, or (2) securities regulator or stock exchange or market when required to do so by subpoena, court order, law or administrative regulation, if in either of the foregoing cases, he or she reasonably believes such testimony or statement to be truthful, even if disparaging or derogatory.
