AMENDMENT TO ORIGINAL CONSULTING AGREEMENT.
|
(a) Section 6.1(b) of the Original Consulting Agreement is hereby amended to reflect the following:
“A consulting fee of $20,000 per month, paid in cash, or at Company’s option (if funds are not available) from the date of execution of this Agreement until July 1, 2012, in the form of restricted shares of Company’s common stock, valued at $0.20 per share (e.g. $20,000 multiplied by $0.20 per share = 100,000 shares of restricted shares of Company’s common stock); and”
1
(b) Section 6.1(c) of the Original Consulting Agreement is hereby amended to reflect the following:
“Additional fees, including but not limited to, site development, joint venture, partnership, consulting, developer, contractor and/or project management fees shall be separately negotiated between the parties and set forth in a written agreement on a project by project basis, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.”
(c) Section 8.5 of the Original Consulting Agreement is hereby amended to reflect the following:
“(a) Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion and at anytime deemed necessary during the term of this Agreement, to assign in whole or in part, the obligations of the Company as set forth in this Agreement to one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries or related party entities of the Company; and
(b) The Consultant shall have the right in its sole discretion to assign in whole or in part, the compensation payable to Consultant here under, and/or to assign a portion or all of its duties hereunder with respect to a specific site or project, to a third party or sub contractor.”
|
(d)
|
COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE OR SOLICIT.
|
(a) During the term of the Consulting Agreement, and for a period of two (2) years after the end of the term of said Consulting Agreement, Consultant, and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and affiliates, shall not, without the prior written consent of DEAC, which may be withheld in DEAC’s sole discretion, engage in a Competitive Business Activity (as defined below) anywhere in North America.
(b) For all purposes hereof, the term "Competitive Business Activity" shall mean: (i) engaging in, or managing or directing persons engaged in any business in competition with DEAC’s plants, technologies, products and/or services; (ii) acquiring or having an ownership interest in any entity that derives revenues from any business in competition with DEAC's plants, technologies, products and/or services, (except for passive ownership of four and 9/10th percent (4.9%) or less of any entity whose securities are publicly traded on a national securities exchange or market, or ten percent (10%) or less of any entity whose securities are not publicly traded on a national securities exchange or market); or (iii) participating in the operation, management or control of any firm, partnership, corporation, entity or business described in clause (ii) of this Section.
(c) Non-Solicitation. During the Non-Competition Period, Consultant shall not (i) solicit, encourage or take any other action which is intended to induce or encourage, or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of inducing or encouraging, any employee of DEAC or any of its subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment with DEAC or its subsidiaries.
2
(d) The covenants contained in Section hereof shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each country, province, state, city or other political subdivision within North America. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this Section are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws.
(e) Consultant acknowledges that (i) the goodwill associated with DEAC’s technology, trade secrets and other assets prior to execution of the Consulting Agreement represents an integral component of the consideration and value to the Consultant obtained by execution of the Consulting Agreement, as it will serve as the basis for Consultant’s ability to locate, negotiate and obtain projects for DEAC, and (ii) Consultant's non competition agreement as set forth herein is necessary to preserve the value of the Assets for DEAC during the term of the Consulting Agreement. The Consultant also acknowledges that the limitations of time, geography and scope of activity agreed to in this Agreement are reasonable because, among other things, (A) Consultant and DEAC are engaged in a highly competitive industry, (B), DEAC is granting to Consultant unique access to trade secrets and know-how of DEAC relating to its business plan, technology, plants and services; and (C) this Agreement provides no more protection than is necessary to protect DEAC’s interests in its goodwill, trade secrets and confidential information.

|
All of the material and information listed above regarding 3rd parties, which DEAC discloses to Consultant.
