AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into, effective May 15, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between JBI, Inc., (the “Company”), and Kevin Rauber (the “Employee”), and amended and restated effective October 18, 2012.

ARTICLE I- EMPLOYMENT

1.1 Employment . The Company hereby employs the Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1.2 Term . The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of three (3) years after the Effective Date, unless this Agreement is terminated as provided for herein.

1.3 Title . Employee shall be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

1.4 Duties . The Employee shall do and perform all services, acts or things necessary or advisable to manage the Company. This will include Employee being expected to oversee, execute and manage the rollout of JBI’s business plan with Rock-Tenn. Employee shall loyally, conscientiously, and professionally perform all of his duties and responsibilities, which may be revised from time to time, as Company deems appropriate or necessary. At all times during his employment, Employee shall adhere to all rules, policies, and guidelines of Company that are now in effect or as they may be modified by the Company's management, in its sole discretion, from time to time. The Employee agrees that the hiring of one operations senior executive by the Company is considered essential to performing his duties. No other senior management hires are permitted until the Company has a minimum of six processors running consistently, unless such hire is made out of commercial necessity and agreed to by the Board of Directors of the Company. While employed by Company, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, render any services of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other person, firm or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise. Employee will sign all environmental permitting document on behalf of the Company in his capacity as CEO/ President.

ARTICLE II– COMPENSATION

2.1 Base Salary . Company shall pay Employee, and Employee shall accept an annual base salary of Two hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), payable weekly in 52 equal installments, subject to standard withholding and other deductions required by law.

2.2 Signing Bonus . On the Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee shall receive Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, vesting in equal annual installments beginning one year from the Effective Date for five years as follows.

●

Vesting one (1) year from the Effective Date; 100,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

●

Vesting two (2) years from the Effective Date; 100,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

●

Vesting three (3) years from the Effective Date; 100,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

●

Vesting four (4) years from the Effective Date; 100,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

●

Vesting five (5) years from the Effective Date; 100,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

At the time of exercise, the Employee will have the option to issue payment to the Company for the option price times the number of options being exercised. For example, if the Employee exercises 100,000 options, Employee would provide cash in the amount of $150,000 to the Company and in turn receive 100,000 shares of JBI Common Stock (less any withholding).

Additionally, the Employee can perform a cashless exercise, in which the total number of shares to be issued will be offset by the amount the Employee would be required to remit to the Company. For example, if 100,000 shares are exercised when the price of the Company’s common stock is $5.00, then the Employee would receive Common Stock in the amount of the options exercised multiplied by the market price less the number of options exercised multiplied by the $1.50 per option (100,000*$5.00) - (100,000*1.50) = $350,000 of shares of JBI Common Stock (valued at the market price on the date of exercise) (less any withholding).

●

The Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to require the Employee to remit to the Company cash in an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable tax withholding requirements, or to withhold a sufficient number of shares of stock to satisfy such withholding requirements.

●

The grant of the options shall at all times be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s formal stock compensation plan under which the options are granted, and in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any award agreement or plan, the terms of the award agreement and plan shall control.

●

The term of the options will be the lesser of (a) ten (10) years, measured from the date immediately preceding the date on which the options were granted, or (b) seven (7) years from the date of vesting.

●

All options, vested and unvested, will immediately vest upon the change in voting control of the Company, other than any change in voting control of the Company resulting from (i) the transfer of the Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock of the Company from Mr. John Bordynuik to any of the other parties signatory to a letter agreement dated May 15, 2012 between Mr. John Bordynuik and the other parties signatory thereto; and (ii) the redemption or purchase of such Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock by the Company.

●

The Company will have a formal stock compensation plan in place within six (6) months of the Effective Date of this Agreement under which these options will be formally issued.

Beginning one year from the Effective Date of this Agreement and annually thereafter while employed, Employee shall receive a performance bonus (the “Performance Bonus”) equal to the Base Salary multiplied by the JBI Share Price divided by $10. For these purposes, the JBI Share Price shall be the weighted average share price in the month prior to the annual bonus date. The Performance Bonus shall be payable in JBI stock, with the value of each JBI share equal to the JBI Share Price for the purposes of calculating the number of JBI shares. Employee will have the option to receive up to $100,000 of the Performance Bonus in cash. Such cash payment will be approved based on the Company’s consolidated cash balances being greater than $5 million at the time of the Performance Bonus payment. The Company shall pay the Performance Bonus no later than ninety (90) days following the end of the Performance Period (as defined below) for which the Performance Bonus is earned; provided , however , that in all events the Company will pay the Performance Bonus in the year in which the applicable Performance Period ends; and provided , further , that the Executive must be employed by the Company on the date the Performance Bonus is to be paid in order to receive it. The Performance Period shall be an annual period commencing on each anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the Company implements a bonus plan or program for all similarly situated executives, the Performance Bonus shall be paid pursuant to the terms of such plan or program.

Employee’s health and dental insurances will allow for coverage in St. Louis, MO. If the Company does not have a national health and dental plan in place at the Effective Date, the Company will reimburse the Employee for costs of COBRA. In addition, Employee shall be provided with a computer and cell phone at company expense.

2.5 Vacation . Employee shall be entitled to four weeks paid vacation annually during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Company.

This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and the parties hereby agree to amend this Agreement as and when necessary or desirable to conform to or otherwise properly reflect any guidance issued under Section 409A after the date hereof without violating Section 409A. In case any one or more provisions of this Agreement fails to comply with the provisions of Section 409A, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect, and this Agreement shall be administered and applied as if the non-complying provisions were not part of this Agreement. The parties in that event shall endeavor to agree upon a reasonable substitute for the non-complying provisions, to the extent that a substituted provision would not cause this Agreement to fail to comply with Section 409A, and, upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substituted provisions into this Agreement. A termination of Employee’s employment hereunder shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amount or benefit constituting “deferred compensation” under Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” In the event that any payment or benefit made hereunder or under any compensation plan, program or arrangement of the Employer would constitute payments or benefits pursuant to a non-qualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of Section 409A and, at the time of Employee’s “separation from service” Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then any such payments or benefits shall be delayed until the six-month anniversary of the date of Employee’s “separation from service”. Each payment made under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of Section 409A. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A. All reimbursements for expenses paid pursuant hereto that constitute taxable income to Employee shall in no event be paid later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which Employee incurs such expense or pays such related tax. Unless otherwise permitted by Section 409A, the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits under this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, respectively, in any other taxable year.

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into, effective May 15, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between JBI, Inc., (the “Company"), and Matthew Ingham (the “Employee”), and amended and restated effective October 18, 2012.

1.1 Employment . The Company hereby employs the Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1.3 Title . Employee shall be the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

1.4 Duties . The Employee shall do and perform all services, acts or things necessary or advisable to manage and supervise the financial and accounting functions of the Company and that are normally associated with the position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The Employee shall report to the Chief Executive Officer. Employee shall loyally, conscientiously, and professionally perform all of his duties and responsibilities, which may be revised from time to time, as Company deems appropriate or necessary. At all times during his employment, Employee shall adhere to all rules, policies, and guidelines of Company that are now in effect or as they may be modified by the Company's management, in its sole discretion, from time to time. While employed by Company, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, render any services of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other person, firm or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise, unless he has obtained the prior written consent of Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

ARTICLE II– COMPENSATION

2.1 Base Salary . Company shall pay Employee, and Employee shall accept an annual base salary of $175,000 (One hundred and seventy five thousand dollars), payable weekly in 52 equal installments, subject to standard withholding and other deductions required by law.

2.2 Signing Bonus . On the Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee shall receive Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) options to purchase the Company’s common stock, vesting in equal annual installments beginning one year from the Effective Date for three years as follows.

●

Vesting one (1) year from the Effective Date; 100,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

●

Vesting two (2) years from the Effective Date; 100,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

●

Vesting three (3) years from the Effective Date; 100,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

Additionally, the Employee can perform a cashless exercise, in which the total number of shares to be issued will be offset by the amount the Employee would be required to remit to the Company. For example, if 100,000 shares are exercised when the price of the Company’s common stock is $5.00, then the Employee would receive Common Stock in the amount of the options exercised multiplied by the market price less the number of options exercised multiplied by the $1.50 per option (100,000*$5) - (100,000*1.50) = $350,000 of shares of JBI Common Stock (valued at the market price on the date of exercise) (less any withholding).

All options, vested and unvested, will immediately vest upon the change in control of the Company other than any change in voting control of the Company resulting from (i) the transfer of the Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock of the Company from Mr. John Bordynuik to any of the other parties signatory to a letter agreement dated May 15, 2012 between Mr. John Bordynuik and the other parties signatory thereto; and (ii) the redemption or purchase of such Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock by the Company.

This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into , effective June 25, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between JBI, Inc., (the “Company"), and Tony Bogolin (the “Employee”), and amended and restated effective October 18, 2012.

ARTICLE I - EMPLOYMENT

1.1 Employment . The Company hereby employs the Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1.3 Title . Employee shall be the Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

1.4 Duties . The Employee shall do and perform all services, acts or things necessary or advisable to manage and supervise the operations of the Company and that are normally associated with the position of Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The Employee shall report to the Chief Executive Officer. Employee shall loyally, conscientiously, and professionally perform all of his duties and responsibilities, which may be revised from time to time, as Company deems appropriate or necessary. At all times during his employment, Employee shall adhere to all rules, policies, and guidelines of Company that are now in effect or as they may be modified by the Company's management, in its sole discretion, from time to time. While employed by Company, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, render any services of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other person, firm or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise, unless he has obtained the prior written consent of Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

ARTICLE II– COMPENSATION

2.1 Base Salary . Company shall pay Employee, and Employee shall accept an annual base salary of $200,000 (Two hundred thousand dollars), payable weekly in 52 equal installments, subject to standard withholding and other deductions required by law.

2.2 Signing Bonus . On the Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee shall receive Four Hundred Thousand (400,000) options to purchase the Company’s common stock, vesting in equal annual installments beginning one year from the Effective Date for five years as follows.

●

Vesting one (1) year from the Effective Date; 80,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

●

Vesting two (2) years from the Effective Date; 80,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

●

Vesting three (3) years from the Effective Date; 80,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

●

Vesting four (4) years from the Effective Date; 80,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

●

Vesting five (5) years from the Effective Date; 80,000 options to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share

At the time of exercise, the Employee will have the option to issue payment to the Company for the option price times the number of options being exercised. For example, if the Employee exercises 80,000 options, Employee would provide cash in the amount of $120,000 to the Company and in turn receive 80,000 shares of JBI Common Stock (less any withholding).

Additionally, the Employee can perform a cashless exercise, in which the total number of shares to be issued will be offset by the amount the Employee would be required to remit to the Company. For example, if 80,000 shares are exercised when the price of the Company’s common stock is $5.00, then the Employee would receive Common Stock in the amount of the options exercised multiplied by the market price less the number of options exercised multiplied by the $1.50 per option (80,000*$5) - (80,000*1.50) = $280,000 of shares of JBI Common Stock (valued at the market price on the date of exercise) (less any withholding).

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

2012 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

Optionee: ____________

Grant Date: _______, 20__

Execution Date: ________, 20__

Per Share Exercise Price: $___.___

Number of Option Shares subject to this Option: _______

THIS INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between JBI, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the Optionee specified above, pursuant to the JBI, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”); and

WHEREAS, on or before the Grant Date, the Company and the Optionee entered into an employment agreement providing for, among other things, the grant of the Option referenced herein and the parties now desire to further memorialize such grant.

WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the incentive stock option provided for herein to the Optionee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1. Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt . This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the grant of the option hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto under the Plan. The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Optionee has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

2. Grant of Option . The Company hereby grants to the Optionee, as of the Grant Date specified above, an incentive stock option (this “Option”) to acquire from the Company at the Per Share Exercise Price specified above the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock specified above (the “Option Shares”). This Option is to be treated as (and is intended to qualify as) an Incentive Stock Option (an “ISO”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. However, notwithstanding such designation, if the Optionee becomes eligible in any given year to exercise ISOs for Common Stock having a Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000, those options representing the excess shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For the purpose of deciding which options apply to Common Stock that exceed the $100,000 limit, ISOs shall be taken into account in the same order as granted. The Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to such Common Stock is granted. Optionee hereby acknowledges that there is no assurance that this Option will, in fact, be treated as an ISO under Section 422 of the Code.

3. No Dividends Equivalents . The Optionee shall not be entitled to receive a cash payment in respect of the Option Shares underlying this Option on any dividend payment date for the Common Stock.

4. Exercise of this Option .

4.1 Unless otherwise provided in Section 4.4 below or determined by the Committee, this Option shall become exercisable in accordance with and to the extent provided by the terms and provisions of Section 6.5 of the Plan.

4.2 Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and/or this Agreement, this Option shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable after the expiration of the lesser of (a) ten (10) years, measured from the date immediately preceding the date on which the Option was granted, or (b) with respect to any Option Shares, seven (7) years from the applicable vesting date as set forth in Section 4.4 hereof (the “Option Period”).

4.3 In no event shall this Option be exercisable for a fractional share of Common Stock.

4.4 This Option shall be exercisable according to the following vesting schedule:

[(i) __________ Option Shares shall vest on __________,20__; (ii) __________ Option Shares] shall vest on __________, 20__; and (iii) _________ Option Shares shall vest on ______, 20__; [provided, however, that upon a change in control of the Company, the Option Shares will vest as provided in the employment agreement dated effective __________, 20__ between Optionee and the Company (the “Employment Agreement”)].

5. Method of Exercise and Payment . This Option shall be exercised by the Optionee by delivering to the Secretary of the Company or his designated agent on any business day (the “Exercise Date”) a written notice, in such manner and form as may be required by the Company, specifying the number of the Option Shares the Optionee then desires to acquire (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Per Share Exercise Price for such number of the Option Shares to be acquired upon such exercise. Such payment shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 6.5 of the Plan; provided, however that Optionee shall be permitted to perform a cashless exercise as provided in the Employment Agreement.

6.1 If the Optionee's employment with the Company and/or one of its Subsidiaries terminates for “Cause” or without “Good Reason” (as those terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), any then unexercisable portion of this Option shall be forfeited and cancelled by the Company and the Optionee’s rights, if any, to exercise any then exercisable portion of this Option shall terminate ninety (90) days after the date of such termination, but not beyond the expiration of the Option Period, and thereafter such Option shall be forfeited and cancelled by the Company.

6.2 If the Optionee’s employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries terminates for Good Reason, then the Optionee shall immediately vest in any Option Shares scheduled to vest within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination. Immediately following such accelerated vesting, any remaining then unexercisable portion of this Option shall be forfeited and cancelled by the Company and the Optionee’s rights, if any, to exercise any then exercisable portion of this Option shall terminate ninety (90) days after the date of such termination, but not beyond the expiration of the Option Period, and thereafter such Option shall be forfeited and cancelled by the Company.

6.3 If the Optionee’s employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries terminates without Cause, then the Optionee shall immediately vest in all outstanding Option Shares and the Optionee’s rights, if any, to exercise any then exercisable portion of this Option shall terminate ninety (90) days after the date of such termination, but not beyond the expiration of the Option Period, and thereafter such Option shall be forfeited and cancelled by the Company.

6.4 If Optionee's termination of employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries is due to the Optionee's death or disability, then the Optionee shall immediately vest in any Option Shares scheduled to vest within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination. Immediately following such accelerated vesting, the Optionee (or the Optionee's estate, designated beneficiary or other legal representative, as the case may be and as determined by the Committee) shall have the right, to the extent exercisable after the date of such termination, to exercise this Option at any time within the one (1) year period following such termination due to death or disability, but not beyond the expiration of the Option Period, and thereafter such Option shall be forfeited and cancelled by the Company.

6.5 The Board or the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that all or any portion of this Option, to the extent exercisable immediately prior to the Optionee's termination of employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries for any reason, may remain exercisable for an additional specified time period after the period specified above in this Section 6 expires (subject to any other applicable terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement), but not beyond the expiration of the Option Period.

6.6 If the Optionee's employer ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, that event shall be deemed to constitute a termination of employment under Section 6.2 above.

7. Non-transferability . This Option, and any rights or interests therein, shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way at any time by the Optionee (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Optionee), other than by testamentary disposition by the Optionee or the laws of descent and distribution. This Option shall not be pledged, encumbered or otherwise hypothecated in any way at any time by the Optionee (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Optionee) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar legal process. Any attempt to sell, exchange, pledge, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of or hypothecate this Option, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal process upon this Option, contrary to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Plan shall be null and void and without legal force or effect. This Option shall be exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee.

The Board or the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or amend this Agreement from time to time in accordance with and as provided in the Plan; provided , however , that no such modification or amendment shall materially adversely affect the rights of the Optionee under this Option without the consent of the Optionee. The Company shall give written notice to the Optionee of any such modification or amendment of this Agreement as soon as practicable after the adoption thereof. This Agreement may also be modified or amended by a writing signed by both the Company and the Optionee.
