The Executive shall not take the position on any tax return or other filing that any payment made under this Agreement is subject to the Excise Tax, unless, in the opinion of independent tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, there is no reasonable basis for taking the position that any such payment is not subject to the Excise Tax under U.S. tax law then in effect. If the Internal Revenue Service makes a claim that any payment or portion thereof is subject to the Excise Tax, at the Company's election, and the Company's direction and expense, the Executive shall contest such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall advance to the Executive the costs and expenses of such contest, as incurred. For the purpose of determining the amount of any payment under clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which such indemnity payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of taxation applicable to individuals as are in effect in the jurisdiction in which the Executive is resident, net of the reduction in federal income taxes that is obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

11 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if sent postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; by overnight delivery; by courier; or by confirmed telecopy, in the case of the Executive to the Executive's last place of business or residence as shown on the records of the Company, or in the case of the Company to its principal office as set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement, or at such other place as it may designate.

12 Waiver. Unless agreed in writing, the failure of either party, at any time, to require performance by the other of any provisions hereunder shall not affect its right thereafter to enforce the same, nor shall a waiver by either party of any breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any other preceding or succeeding breach of any term or provision of this Agreement. No extension of time for the performance of any obligation or act shall be deemed to be an extension of time for the performance of any other obligation or act hereunder.

13 Completeness and Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties hereto superseding all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings among the parties hereto concerning the Employment Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party to be charged.

14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute but one agreement.

15 Binding Effect/Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Executive but shall be assignable by the Company in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition of its business or to any of the Company's affiliates controlled by or under common control with the Company.

16 Governing Law. This Agreement shall become valid when executed and accepted by Company. The parties agree that it shall be deemed made and entered into in the State of Florida and shall be governed and construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Executive shall conduct the Executive's business in a lawful manner and faithfully comply with applicable laws or regulations of the state, city or other political subdivision in which the Executive is located.

17 Further Assurances. All parties hereto shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do such other acts as may be necessary to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

18 Headings. The headings of the sections are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction or limit the scope or intent of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

19 Survival. Any termination of this Agreement shall not, however, affect the ongoing provisions of this Agreement which shall survive such termination in accordance with their terms.

20 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any covenant, promise or undertaking, or any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or word or of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions thereof.

21 Enforcement. Should it become necessary for any party to institute legal action to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the successful party will be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees at all trial and appellate levels, expenses and costs.

22 Venue. Company and Executive acknowledge and agree that the U.S. District for the Southern District of Florida, or if such court lacks jurisdiction, the 15th Judicial Circuit (or its successor) in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, shall be the venue and exclusive proper forum in which to adjudicate any case or controversy arising either, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement and the parties further agree that, in the event of litigation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement in these courts, they will not contest or challenge the jurisdiction or venue of these courts.

23 Construction. This Agreement shall be construed within the fair meaning of each of its terms and not against the party drafting the document.

24. Compensation for Sale of Company. In the event the Company is sold for a Company Sale Price in excess of the Current Capitalization during the Term of the Agreement, and the Company Sale Price represents at least $1.00 per share (adjusted for recapitalization including but not limited to splits and reverse splits), the Executive will receive cash compensation of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the Company Sale Price, payable in immediately available funds at the time of closing such transaction. The Current Capitalization is defined as the sum of (i) the number of common shares issued and outstanding, (ii) the common stock equivalent shares related to paid for but not converted preferred shares and other convertible securities, to the extent such preferred shares and convertible securities are “in the money” and (iii) the number of common shares underlying “in-the-money” warrants and options, such sum multiplied by the market price per share and then reduced by the proceeds payable upon exercise of the “in-the-money” warrants and options, all determined as of the date of this Agreement but the market price per share used for this purpose to be no more than $1.00. The Company Sale Price is defined as the number of common shares outstanding at the time the Company is sold multiplied by the price per share paid in such Company sale transaction.

25. Change of Control Waiver and AntiDilution. In consideration of the Executive’s agreement that the Change of Control excludes any Merger and any related financing within eighteen (18) months of the Effective Date, which agreement represents a concession from the predecessor employment contract, as well as to address dilution of the Executive’s current options as a result of that Merger and any related financing, the Company agrees to grant the Executive fully vested options for shares equivalent to 1% of the total number of shares to be issued in connection with that Merger and/or any related financing including any contingent shares, once earned. These options will be granted at the time of the closing of a Merger or related financing, exercisable over four years from the date of such grant and with an exercise price equal to the fair value at the date of grant but no less than $1.00. The Company agrees to register these and all other shares or options held by Executive, whether issued during or prior to the Term of this Agreement, with or simultaneously to any shares registered in connection with that Merger and/or any related financing.

THE EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EXECUTIVE HAS READ ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTANDS THE AGREEMENT, AND AGREES TO ABIDE BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of date set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement.
