THIS EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into this 11th day of March, 2009, by and between BioForce Nanosciences, Inc. (the “Employer”) and (the “Employee”).
WHEREAS, Employer currently owes to Employee payment for certain earned wages and/or reimbursable expenses, which are currently unpaid, excluding however any semi-permanent pay deferrals (hereinafter referred to as the “Unpaid Wages”).
WHEREAS, Employer may owe to Employee payment for certain earned wages (not to include any semi-permanent pay deferrals which may be agreed to between Employe and Employer) and/or reimbursable expenses in the future (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Future Unpaid Wages”).
WHEREAS, Employer and Employee wish to set forth in writing the terms of their agreement for the payment of the Unpaid Wages and Future Unpaid Wages.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1.
Payment Schedule for Unpaid Wages. The parties agree that the Unpaid Wages shall be paid by Employer to Employee as follows : no later than sixty (60) days after the Employee’s termination of employment with Employer
2.
Payment Schedule for Future Unpaid Wages. The parties agree that any Future Unpaid Wages shall be paid by Employer to Employee as follows: no later than sixty (60) days after the Employee’s termination of employment with Employer
3.
Security for Unpaid Wages. As additional security for Employer’s obligation to pay the Unpaid Wages as well as any Future Unpaid Wages, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement Employer shall execute the Security Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Security Agreement”), which grants Employee a security interest in all of Employer’s inventory, accounts, general intangibles, and equipment. For avoidance of doubt, this Security Agreement, and Employee’s security interest under the Security Agreement, is subordinate to that associated with the Company’s Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued during 2008. For purposes of such Security Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that an “Obligation” shall mean only the Employer’s obligation to pay Employee pursuant to Paragraph 1 or 2 above, as applicable and that the Unpaid Wages or Future Unpaid Wages shall not be deemed an “Obligation” under the terms of such Security Agreement and, further, that the existence of Unpaid Wages or Future Unpaid Wages shall not itself constitute an event of default under the Security Agreement.
