Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Joint Venture Agreement
 
On October 10, 2013, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Produced Water Solutions, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“PWS”) in the business of providing economically and environmentally sound solutions for the treatment and recycling of wastewater resulting principally from oil and gas exploration and production activities (the “Business”). The JV Agreement is intended to enable us to engage in and commence activities involving the Business. In furtherance thereof, pursuant to the JV Agreement, PWS has provided us with three prospective Business projects (the “Projects”) and agreed to provide us with consulting services with respect to all aspects of the Projects and certain additional Business projects that we may subsequently determine to pursue (the “Additional Projects”). The consulting services to be provided by PWS include designation of a qualified project manager (the “Project Manager”) for each of and up to three Projects and Additional Projects that we determine to pursue (the “Accepted Projects”). The consulting services of PWS, including the services to be performed by the Project Manager (collectively, the “Services”), include the direct oversight needed to undertake and complete the Accepted Projects as well as the following:
 
Provide assistance with Project diligence;
 
Project budget preparation and management;
 
Equipment pricing, specification and sourcing;
 
Sub-contractor identification and management;
 
Preparation of an operating plan;
 
System implementation and functional testing; and
 
Operational oversight.
 
We have agreed to accept at least one of the Projects (the “Guaranteed Project”) and have been granted a right of first refusal until December 31, 2013 with respect to the two other Projects. We have until December 8, 2013 to determine which of the Projects to accept as the Guaranteed Project. In connection with such determination, we shall perform, with the assistance of PWS, legal, technical and financial due diligence.
 
During the term of the JV Agreement, PWS may, in its sole discretion, also present us with additional projects (each, an “Additional Project”) for our consideration by delivering to us, in each case, a project description including a 24 month budget, projected project economics, a list of required equipment and the estimated cost thereof, a description of customer commitments required to meet financial pro-formas, and an operating plan. Until the earlier of December 31, 2013, or the acceptance by us of three projects presented by PWS (including either Projects or Additional Projects), we may acquire an interest in any Additional Project presented by PWS under the same terms and conditions as specified herein for acquisition of Projects other than the Guaranteed Project.  After the earlier of December 31, 2013 or the acceptance by us of three projects presented by PWS, whether they be Projects or a combination of Projects and Additional Projects, the terms and conditions under which we may engage PWS to provide consultation and assistance on Additional Projects will be negotiated by us and PWS on a case by case basis.
 
 
2

 
 
All Accepted Projects, at the point of written acceptance by us, will have in place all required contracts, leases, permits, licenses, waivers, authorizations, consents, assignments and approvals necessary for the commencement of the project. PWS will assist us in the creation of a project plan for each Accepted PWS Project, which shall include projections and a proposed budget. We may independently locate projects and may, but have no obligation to, engage PWS to provide consulting services for such projects in our sole discretion.  The terms of any such engagement will be negotiated by us and PWS on a case by case basis.
 
In consideration for the Services, we have agreed to pay PWS a Monthly Project Cash Fee, a Cash Bonus Payment, FWSI Stock Options and Net Income Payments.
 
Monthly Project Cash Fees.
 
We agreed to pay PWS for Services performed, which includes the Services of the Project Manager, at a rate of $10,000 per month for the Guaranteed Project.  The initial monthly project cash fee payment for the Guaranteed Project was paid on October 15, 2013. Subsequent monthly payments are due and payable on or before the 15th of each month through the term of the JV Agreement. In the event we elect to accept additional projects, we will pay PWS for Services at a rate of $5,000 per month for each of such Accepted Projects. At such time, if ever, that a combination of three Projects  (including the Guaranteed Project) and Additional Projects have been accepted, the monthly cash fees due and payable by us for any Project or Additional Project we thereafter accept, will be negotiated and agreed upon by us and PWS on a case by case basis.
 
Bonus Payments.
 
We agreed to pay PWS a cash bonus of $50,000 for the Guaranteed Project and for each of the other Projects and Additional Projects accepted by us up to a maximum of three projects (including the Guaranteed Project). The cash bonus due and payable with respect to the Guaranteed Project was paid on October 15, 2013. At such time, if ever, that a combination of three Projects (including the Guaranteed Project) and Additional Projects have been accepted by us, the cash bonus, payable by us with respect to any Projects or Additional Projects thereafter accepted by us, will be negotiated and agreed upon by us and PWS on a case by case basis.
 
Stock Options.
 
We agreed to issue 250,000 stock options to PWS for the Guaranteed Project. Until such time, if ever, that a combination of three Projects (including the Guaranteed Project) and Additional Projects have been accepted, we will also issue 250,000 stock options to PWS for each of the Projects and Additional Projects accepted by us.
 
Net Income Payments.
 
We agreed to pay PWS ten percent of the “Net Income” achieved by us during the term of the JV Agreement from the Guaranteed Project and from each of the other Projects and Additional Projects accepted by us up to a maximum of three projects (including the Guaranteed Project). Such payments will be made quarterly as projects begin operation.

Termination.
 
The JV Agreement (and our obligation to make payments to PWS) terminates immediately on the earlier of (a) December 31, 2014, (b) upon PWS giving us sixty calendar days’ prior written notice of termination; (c) upon our giving PWS thirty calendar days prior written notice of termination, or (d) at any time, with no notice, upon which we terminate this Agreement for “Cause”.  This Agreement may be renewed by us and PWS for periods subsequent to December 31, 2014 by mutual agreement on terms to be negotiated.
 
In the event the JV Agreement is terminated for Cause, we have no obligation to make payments to PWS, except as otherwise required by law, for periods after the JV Agreement is terminated on account of the termination of PWS for Cause, except for PWS’s then applicable fees earned and accrued through the date of such termination. Further, if the Agreement is terminated for Cause, all unvested stock options will be cancelled.
 
Other Provisions.
 
The JV Agreement also contains customary provisions respecting project confidentiality, non-solicitation and competition.
 
The foregoing description of the JV Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the JV Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release.
 
On October 10, 2013, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Produced Water Solutions, Inc. (“PWS”) and Montrose Capital Limited (“Montrose”) related to the termination of a June 13, 2013 Term Sheet (the “Term Sheet”) among us, PWS and Montrose. The Term Sheet contemplated a $250,000 bridge financing for PWS involving the sale of $250,000 in principal amount of secured convertible promissory notes of PWS (the “PWS Notes”) and a subsequent reverse triangular merger (the “Merger”) among us, PWS and the shareholders of PWS in which PWS would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. PWS is engaged in the business of providing economically and environmentally sound solutions for the treatment of recycling wastewater resulting principally from oil and gas exploration and production activities (the “Business”). On July 1, 2013 the $250,000 bridge financing was completed and the PWS Notes were issued. The Notes were subject to mandatory conversion at the effective time of the Merger into securities of ours. The parties to the Settlement Agreement subsequently determined not to proceed with the Merger, choosing instead to have us engage directly in the Business pursuant to a Joint Venture Agreement under which PWS would provide us with consulting services and Business projects. The October 10, 2013 Joint Venture Agreement discussed above was the result thereof.
 
As part of the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate the Term Sheet, a related Mutual Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Circumvention Agreement (the “NDA”) and all other agreements among the parties related to the Term Sheet and NDA. They also agreed that upon execution of the JV Agreement and in consideration of the Guaranteed Project, as such term is defined above under the heading “Joint Venture Agreement”, $100,000 in principal and all accrued interest due on the PWS Notes would be converted into one year 10% senior convertible notes of ours (the “FWSI Notes”). The Settlement Agreement further provided that upon our acceptance, if ever, of a second project pursuant to the JV Agreement, $75,000 in principal and all accrued interest due on the PWS Notes would be converted into FWSI Notes and that upon our acceptance, if ever, of a third project pursuant to the JV Agreement, the remaining $75,000 in principal and all accrued interest due on the PWS Notes would be converted into FWSI Notes. The holders of the PWS notes entered into a similar Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with PWS in which, among other things, they agreed to the conversion of the PWS Notes into FWSI Notes on the terms stated above.
 
On October 15, 2013 we closed on the sale of $500,000 in principal amount of FWSI Notes and converted $100,000 in principal amount of PWS Notes, together with accrued interest due thereon, which was convertible as the result of the Guaranteed Project into additional FWSI Notes.
 
The foregoing description of the Settlement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Settlement Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Smith Employment Agreement.
 
On October 10, 2013, we entered into a three year Employment Services Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Nadine C. Smith, pursuant to which she will serve as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. She will earn an initial base annual salary of $120,000 which will be increased to $180,000 at such time that we deploy equipment to field operations and to $240,000 at such time that our cash flow, in the reasonable judgment of our Board of Directors, can sustain the salary increase. She is entitled to receive annual bonuses in amounts up to 100% of her base annual salary based upon achievement of budget and operational milestones as approved by our Board of Directors. In connection with her appointment, Ms. Smith purchased 20,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.01 per share for an aggregate of $200,000. Ms. Smith is also entitled to receive stock options under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan at such times and in such amounts as determined by our Board of Directors.
 
In the event of Ms. Smith’s Permanent Disability, as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement, or if Ms. Smith’s employment is terminated by us for a reason other than Cause, as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement, or by Ms. Smith for Good Reason, as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement, and subject to Ms. Smith's compliance with other terms of the Employment Agreement, then we will pay her a severance amount equal to her base annual salary. In the event of termination by us without Cause or by Ms. Smith for Good Reason, Ms. Smith will also be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of her annual bonus to the extent established milestones for the payment thereof are achieved.
 
In the event of Ms. Smith’s death or if Ms. Smith’s employment is terminated by us for Cause or if Ms. Smith voluntarily terminates the Employment Agreement, we will have no obligation to make payment to her under the Employment Agreement subsequent to such termination except for the payment of base annual salary accrued through the date of termination.
 
The Employment Agreement contains non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants of Ms. Smith.
 
The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Employment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Either party may terminate the Consulting Agreement upon 30 days advance notice. The Consulting Agreement has a term of 12 months which will be automatically renewed for an additional 12 month period unless terminated prior to the end of the initial term by either party. The services to be provided by Mr. Tinter include, but are not limited to, the following:

In connection with the Consulting Agreement, we are paying Mr. Tinter at the annual rate of $60,000 payable in equal monthly installments. We also granted him 175,000 non-statutory stock options exercisable, upon vesting, at a price of $0.01 per share (see “Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities”).
 
The Consulting Agreement contains non-compete and non-disclosure covenants of Mr. Tinter and a mutual indemnification provision. It also contains a separate Confidentiality Agreement which contains confidentiality covenants of Mr. Tinter.
 
The foregoing description of the Consulting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Consulting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
 
2013 Equity Incentive Plan.
 
On October 15, 2013, our Board of Directors approved the Frac Water Systems, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). A total of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance in connection with awards granted under the 2013 Plan. A maximum of 2,500,000 shares may be granted during the first twelve months of the 2013 Plan. If an award granted under the 2013 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with an award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2013 Plan. Shares issued under the 2013 Plan through the settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards as a condition of acquiring another entity are not expected to reduce the maximum number of shares available under the 2013 Plan. In addition, the number of shares of common stock subject to the 2013 Plan and the number of shares and terms of any incentive award are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.
 
The compensation committee of the Board, or the Board in the absence of such a committee, will administer the 2013 Plan and grants made thereunder. Subject to the terms of the 2013 Plan, the compensation committee has complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards under the 2013 Plan. Any officer or other employee of ours or our affiliates, or an individual that we or our affiliate has engaged to become an officer or employee, or a consultant or advisor who provides services to us or our affiliates, including a non-employee director of the Board, is eligible to receive awards under the 2013 Plan.
 
The 2013 Plan authorizes the grant to eligible recipients of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as described below:
 
Options granted under the 2013 Plan entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to purchase a specified number of shares from us at a specified exercise price per share. The exercise price for shares of our common stock covered by an option cannot be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant unless agreed to otherwise at the time of the grant. Such awards may include vesting requirements.
 
Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units may be awarded on terms and conditions established by our compensation committee, which may include performance conditions for restricted stock awards and the lapse of restrictions on the achievement of one or more performance goals for restricted stock units.
 
The compensation committee may make performance grants, each of which will contain performance goals for the award, including the performance criteria, the target and maximum amounts payable, and other terms and conditions.
 
Stock awards are permissible. The compensation committee will establish the number of shares of common stock to be awarded and the terms applicable to each award, including performance restrictions.
 
SARs, entitle the participant to receive a distribution in an amount not to exceed the number of shares of common stock subject to the portion of the SAR exercised multiplied by the difference between the market price of a share of common stock on the date of exercise of the SAR and the market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the SAR.
 
 
6

 
 
The 2013 Plan has yet to receive stockholder approval. Any awards of incentive stock options prior to such stockholder approval shall be conditioned on such approval and if such approval is not obtained by October 15, 2014, which is 12 months after the date of Board approval, such options shall be treated as non-incentive options.
 
Our Board of Directors or if then in place, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors, may amend, suspend or terminate the 2013 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. No change may be made by our Board of Directors that increases the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards. Unless sooner terminated, the 2013 Plan terminates ten years after the date on which it was adopted.
 
The foregoing description of the 2013 Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2013, which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Share Cancellation Agreement .
 
On October 10, 2013, we entered into a Share Cancellation Agreement with each of Fadi Zeidan, our former President, Secretary and Treasurer, and a former Director of ours, and Ufuk Turk, a former Director of ours (each, a “Share Cancellation Agreement”), pursuant to which, in consideration for the agreement by our new management for us to retain the existing liabilities of the business, and in an effort to enhance our ability to proceed with the implementation of our new business plan, Mr. Zeidan and Mr. Turk delivered to us an aggregate of 200,000,000 shares of common stock of ours for cancellation.  In addition, pursuant to the Share Cancelation Agreements, Mr. Zeidan and Mr. Turk released us from any claims they might have had against us.
 
The foregoing description of the Share Cancellation Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Share Cancellation Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.7 and 10.8 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 2.03  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation of an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 above, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
 
On October 15, 2013, we closed on the sale of an aggregate of $500,000 in principal amount of FWSI Notes to two investors.  In addition, as of October 15, 2013, $100,000 in principal and all accrued interest due on the PWS Notes was converted into FWSI Notes. The FWSI Notes have a stated maturity date of October 15, 2014.  The principal bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, which is also payable on maturity.  Upon the maturity of the FWSI Notes, by acceleration or otherwise, interest on unpaid amounts shall thereafter be payable at the default interest rate of 15% per annum, until the obligations are paid in full.  We may from time-to-time prepay any amount due under the FWSI Notes, in whole or in part, without penalty.  The principal amount of the FWSI Notes, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, may be converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate to be agreed upon by us and the holders of the FWSI Notes (the “Holders”).  Upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the terms of the FWSI Notes, the entire unpaid principal balance of the FWSI Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become due and payable, without any action by the Holders.  So long as the FWSI Notes are outstanding, we may not incur any indebedtness   that ranks senior in priority to, or pari passu with, the obligations under the FWSI Notes, except indebtedness created as a result of a subsequent financing if the gross proceeds to us from such financing are equal to or greater than the aggregate principal amount of the FWSI Notes and the FWSI Notes are repaid in full upon the closing of such financing.The foregoing description of the terms of the FWSI Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the FWSI Notes, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with Arnold Tinter’s October 15, 2013 engagement as our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer we granted and issued 175,000 non-statutory stock options to Mr. Tinter under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. The options have a term of ten years and are exercisable, upon vesting, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

All of the foregoing issuances of securities were made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(b)           The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%), commencing to accrue on the date hereof and payable on the Maturity Date.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that such conversion would cause the Holder and its affiliates (if they are not, prior to such conversion, already beneficial owners of greater than 4.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock) to beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock; provided, however, that the Holder may waive the limitation imposed by this subsection, and/or increase the Maximum Percentage to some other amount, upon at least sixty-one (61) days prior written notice to the Company.  For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Note.
 
Section 1.03            Reservation of Common Stock .  As set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of conversion of this Note, that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Note is convertible based upon the then applicable Conversion Price.
 
Section 1.04            Absolute Obligation/Ranking .  Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and liquidated damages (if any) on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.  This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company.  This Note ranks pari passu with all other Notes now or hereinafter issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Section 1.1            PWS Projects .   During the term of this Agreement, PWS shall present FWSI with PWS Projects for FWSI’s consideration, as follows:
 
(a)           PWS Projects .  The three (3) initial PWS Projects are set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto (each, a “ PWS Project ”).  Each of the PWS Projects is a Frac Water Depot (FWD project) and each is further described on the FWD project descriptions set forth on Schedule B annexed hereto. PWS hereby grants to FWSI a right of first refusal to the PWS Projects, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.  Upon execution of this Agreement, FWSI shall be deemed to have exercised its right of first refusal as to one (1) of the PWS Projects (the “ Guaranteed Project ”).  FWSI has no obligation to accept more than one (1) of the PWS Projects, and shall have up to sixty (60) days following the date hereof to determine which of the PWS Projects to accept as the Guaranteed Project under this Agreement.  During such sixty (60)) day period, FWSI shall perform, with the assistance of PWS, legal, technical and financial due diligence with respect to the PWS Projects.  On or before the sixtieth (60 th ) day after the date hereof, FWSI shall deliver to PWS written notice of which PWS Project it has designated as the Guaranteed Project. In the event it fails to do so, the Evans, Weld County, CO project listed on Schedule A shall be deemed to be the Guaranteed Project. As part of the diligence process respecting each PWS Project, PWS shall provide FWSI with a description of customer commitments required to meet financial pro-formas.

(c)            Accepted PWS Projects .  For the avoidance of doubt, FWSI may accept or reject any PWS Project or Additional PWS Project presented by PWS for any reason, or no reason, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that FWSI has agreed to accept and undertake at least one (1) of the PWS Projects.  Likewise, PWS shall have the right, in its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, to determine which, if any, additional projects to present to FWSI as Additional PWS Projects under the terms of the Agreement, and, after an aggregate of three (3) projects presented by PWS have been accepted by FWSI, to determine, in its sole discretion, the terms and conditions under which it will present any additional projects to FWSI as an Additional PWS Project.  Any PWS Project or Additional PWS Project accepted by FWSI pursuant to the terms hereof shall be referred to as an “ Accepted PWS Project ”.  With respect to Accepted PWS Projects:

INTRODUCTION
 
WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive under the title and capacity set forth on Schedule A hereto and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company in such capacity, subject to the terms of this Agreement;
 
AGREEMENT
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises herein below set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:
 
1.              Employment Period .  The term of the Executive’s employment by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (the “ Employment Period ”) shall commence upon the date hereof (the “ Effective Date ”) and shall continue for that period of calendar months from the Effective Date set forth on Schedule A hereto.  Thereafter, the Employment Period may be renewed by mutual agreement of the parties on terms to be negotiated.  In any event, the Employment Period may be terminated as provided herein.
 
2.              Employment; Duties .
 
(a)             General . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall employ the Executive to act for the Company during the Employment Period in the capacities set forth on Schedule A hereto, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment. The duties and responsibilities of the Executive shall include such duties and responsibilities appropriate to such offices as the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) may from time to time reasonably assign to the Executive, with such authority and responsibilities, including Company-wide executive, administrative and finance functions as are normally associated with and appropriate for such positions.
 
(b)             Executive recognizes that during the period of Executive's employment hereunder, Executive owes a duty of loyalty to the Company, and Executive will use Executive's good faith efforts to promote and develop the business of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Company’s subsidiaries from time to time, together with any other affiliates of the Company, the “ Affiliates ”). Executive shall devote such amount of Executive’s business time, attention and skills to the performance of Executive’s services as an executive of the Company as is reasonably required by the duties and responsibilities being assumed hereunder. Recognizing and acknowledging that it is essential for the protection and enhancement of the name and business of the Company and the goodwill pertaining thereto, Executive shall perform the Executive’s duties under this Agreement professionally, in accordance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations and such standards, policies and procedures established by the Company and the industry from time to time. The employment of the Executive hereunder shall not preclude her from continuing to serve as an officer and director of La Cortez Energy, Inc.
 
 
1

 
 
(c)             However, the parties agree that: (i) Executive may devote a reasonable amount of her time to civic, community, or charitable activities and may serve as a director of other corporations (provided that any such other corporation is not a competitor of the Company, as determined by the Board) and to other types of business or public activities not expressly mentioned in this paragraph and (ii) Executive may participate as a non-employee director and/or investor in other companies and projects as described by Executive to the Board, so long as Executive’s responsibilities with respect thereto do not conflict or interfere with the faithful performance of her duties to the Company.
 
(d)             Place of Employment . The Executive’s services shall be initially performed at the Company’s offices located in Sarasota, Florida, any other locations where the Company now or hereafter has a business facility and at any other location where Executive’s presence is necessary to perform her duties.

3.             Base Salary .  The Executive shall be entitled to receive a salary from the Company during the Employment Period at the rate per year indicated on Schedule A hereto (the “ Base Salary ”).  Once the Board has established the Base Salary, such Base Salary may be increased on each anniversary of the Effective Date, at the Board’s sole discretion.  The parties expressly agree that what the Executive receives now or in the future, in addition to the regular Base Salary, whether this be in the form of benefits or regular or occasional aid/assistance, such as recreation, club memberships, meals, education for her family, vehicle, lodging or clothing, occasional bonuses or anything else she receives, during the Employment Period and any renewals thereof, in cash or in kind, shall not be deemed as salary.  However, because the Company is a public company subject to the reporting requirements of, inter alia, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), both parties acknowledge that the Executive’s annual compensation (as determined by the rules of the SEC or any other regulatory body or exchange having jurisdiction), which may include some or all of the foregoing, will be required to be publicly disclosed.
 
3A.          Equity Purchase .  The Executive shall purchase common stock from the Company in connection with the execution of this Agreement in the amount and on the terms indicated on Schedule A hereto.
 
4.             Bonus.   (a) The Company may pay the Executive an annual bonus in an amount indicated on Schedule A (the “ Annual Bonus ”), at such time and in such amount as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.  The Board may or may not determine that all or any portion of the Annual Bonus shall be earned upon the achievement of operational, financial or other milestones (“ Milestones ”) established by the Board in consultation with the Executive and that all or any portion of any Annual Bonus shall be paid in cash, unless the Executive and the Company agree to pay such Annual Bonus in securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Annual Bonus shall not exceed the amount of Executive’s Base Salary for the period to which the Bonus relates.
 
(b)            The Executive shall be eligible to participate in any other bonus or incentive program established by the Company for executives of the Company.
 
5.             Other Benefits

(b)            Insurance and Other Benefits .  During the Employment Period, the Executive and the Executive’s dependents shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s insurance programs (or alternatively, to receive reimbursement for the cost of health insurance programs in which the Executive currently participates) and any ERISA benefit plans, as the same may be adopted and/or amended from time to time (the “ Benefits ”).  The Executive shall be entitled to paid personal days on a basis consistent with the Company’s other senior executives, as determined by the Board.  The Executive shall be bound by all of the policies and procedures established by the Company from time to time.  However, in case any of those policies conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
 
(c)            Vacation .  During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to an annual vacation of at least that number of working days set forth on Schedule A hereto.

7.            Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation .
 
(a)            For the duration of the Employment Period and, unless the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, during the Severance Period (the “ Non-compete Period ”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, except as specifically provided in Section 2(c), engage or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of, be employed by, associated with, or in any manner connected with, lend any credit to, or render services or advice to, any business, firm, corporation, partnership, association, joint venture or other entity that engages or conducts any business the same as or substantially similar to the Business or any other business engaged in or proposed to be engaged in or conducted by the Company and/or any of its Affiliates during the Employment Period, or then included in the future strategic plan of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, anywhere within the states or other jurisdictions in which the Company or any of its Affiliates at that time is operating; provided , however, that the Executive may own less than 5% in the aggregate of the outstanding shares of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such enterprise) including those engaged in the frac water treatment business, other than any such enterprise with which the Company competes or is currently engaged in a joint venture, if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive shall present to the Board any opportunity within the scope of the prohibited activities described above, and the Company shall not elect to pursue such opportunity within a reasonable time, then the Executive shall be permitted to pursue such opportunity, subject to the requirements of Section 2(b).
 
(b)            During the Employment Period and for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not:
 
(i)         persuade, solicit or hire, or attempt to recruit, persuade, solicit or hire, any employee, or independent contractor of, or consultant to, the Company, or its Affiliates, to leave the employment (or independent contractor relationship) thereof, whether or not any such employee or independent contractor is party to an employment agreement; or
 
(ii)        attempt in any manner to solicit or accept from any customer or client of the Company or any of its Affiliates, with whom the Company or any of its Affiliates had significant contact during the term of the Agreement, business of the kind or competitive with the business done by the Company or any of its Affiliates with such customer or to persuade or attempt to persuade any such customer to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which such customer has customarily done or is reasonably expected to do with the Company or any of its Affiliates or if any such customer elects to move its business to a person other than the Company or any of its Affiliates, provide any services (of the kind or competitive with the Business of the Company or any of its Affiliates) for such customer, or have any discussions regarding any such service with such customer, on behalf of such other person.
 
The Executive recognizes and agrees that because a violation by the Executive of her obligations under this Section 7 will cause irreparable harm to the Company that would be difficult to quantify and for which money damages would be inadequate, the Company shall have the right to injunctive relief to prevent or restrain any such violation, without the necessity of posting a bond. The Non-compete Period will be extended by the duration of any violation by the Executive of any of her obligations under this Section 7.
 
The Executive expressly agrees that the character, duration and scope of the covenant not to compete are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist at the date upon which this Agreement has been executed.  However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court of competent jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration or geographical scope of the covenant not to compete is unreasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist, then it is the intention of the Executive, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, that the covenant not to compete shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the conduct of the Executive which are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist and necessary to assure the Company of the intended benefit of the covenant not to compete.

8.            Inventions and Patents . The Executive acknowledges that all inventions, innovations, improvements, know-how, plans, development, methods, designs, analyses, specifications, software, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice) which related to any of the Company’s actual or proposed business activities and which are created, designed or conceived, developed or made by the Executive during the Executive’s past or future employment by the Company or any Affiliates, or any predecessor thereof (“Work Product”), belong to the Company, or its Affiliates, as applicable.  Any copyrightable work falling within the definition of Work Product shall be deemed a “work made for hire” and ownership of all right title and interest shall rest in the Company.  The Executive hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, to the full extent permitted by law, all right, title and interest in the Work Product, on a worldwide basis, to the Company to the extent ownership of any such rights does not automatically vest in the Company under applicable law.  The Executive will promptly disclose any such Work Product to the Company and perform all actions requested by the Company (whether during or after employment) to establish and confirm ownership of such Work Product by the Company (including without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).
 
9.            Confidentiality Covenants.

Consultant shall devote such of Consultant’s business time, attention and skills to the performance of the Services as is reasonably required by the duties and responsibilities being assumed by Consultant hereunder.

(b)              Option Grant .  (i) On the Effective Date, the Company shall grant options (the “Options”) to Consultant to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, upon vesting, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  The Options shall vest ratably in arrears over four quarterly periods with the initial vesting date being January 9, 2014 and the subsequent vesting dates being April 9, 2014, July 9, 2014 and October 9, 2014. On each vesting date, 43,750 of the Options shall vest. The Options shall be non-statutory options and shall be issued under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. They shall have a term of ten years from the date of grant. In the event that this Agreement and the Engagement of Consultant is terminated by the Company or the Consultant (i) any unvested Options at the time of termination shall be cancelled and (ii) any vested Options at the time of termination shall be cancelled 90 days after the date of termination. The Options may be exercised on a cashless basis.
 
(ii)              Consultant represents and warrants to the Company that, as of the date hereof and the time of such issuance, Consultant (i) will acquire the Options and if exercised, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Option (the “Shares”), for investment for its own account and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof; (ii) understands and acknowledges that the Options and the Shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state or foreign securities laws, by reason of an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state and foreign securities laws; (iii) does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect to the Options or the underlying Shares; and (iv) understands that a limited market for the Common Stock now exists and that there may never be an active public market for the Shares.

(iv)              Consultant understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Options and if exercised, the Shares, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

THESE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 OR 144A THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, (D) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OR (E) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE HOLDER HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, FURNISHED TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION, IN EITHER CASE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

3.             TERM.
 
(a)              Term . This Agreement, and the Services to be performed hereunder, shall commence on the date hereof, and shall continue for a twelve month period which will automatically renew for an additional twelve month period unless terminated prior thereto by either party, in writing, as provided in this Agreement (the “ Term ”).

(c)            Amendment, Modification or Cancellation of Awards .  Except as provided in subsection (e) and subject to the restrictions of this Plan, the Committee may modify or amend an Award or waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to an Award (including relating to the exercise, vesting or payment thereof), and the Committee may modify the terms and conditions applicable to any Award (including the terms of the Plan), and the Committee may cancel any Award, provided that the Participant (or any other person as may then have an interest in such Award as a result of the Participant’s death or the transfer of an Award) must consent in writing if any such action would adversely affect the rights of the Participant (or other interested party) under such Award.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee need not obtain Participant (or other interested party) consent for the amendment, modification or cancellation of an Award pursuant to the provisions of Section 14(a), or the amendment or modification of an Award to the extent deemed necessary to comply with any applicable law, the listing requirements of any principal securities exchange or market on which the Shares are then traded, or to preserve favorable accounting treatment of any Award for the Company.
 
(d)            Survival of Committee Authority and Awards .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the authority of the Committee to administer this Plan and modify or amend an Award, and the authority of the Board or Committee to amend this Plan, shall extend beyond the date of this Plan’s termination.

(e)            Repricing Prohibited .  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, neither the Committee nor any other person may decrease the exercise price of any Option or the grant price of any SAR nor take any action that would result in a deemed decrease of the exercise price or grant price of an Option or SAR under Code Section 409A, after the date of grant, except in accordance with Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) of the Treasury Regulations (26 C.F.R.), or in connection with a transaction which is considered the grant of a new Option or SAR for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, provided that the new exercise price or grant price is not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the new grant date.
 
(f)            Foreign Participation .  To assure the viability of Awards granted to Participants employed or residing in foreign countries, the Committee may provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of this Plan as it determines is necessary or appropriate for such purposes. Any such amendment, restatement or alternative versions that the Committee approves for purposes of using this Plan in a foreign country will not affect the terms of this Plan for any other country.

13.            TAXES.
 
(a)            Withholding .  In the event the Company or any Affiliate is required to withhold any foreign, federal, state or local taxes or other amounts in respect of any income recognized by a Participant as a result of the grant, vesting, payment or settlement of an Award or disposition of any Shares acquired under an Award, the Company may deduct (or require an Affiliate to deduct) from any payments of any kind otherwise due the Participant cash, or with the consent of the Committee, Shares otherwise deliverable or vesting under an Award, to satisfy such tax obligations.   Alternatively, the Company may require such Participant to pay to the Company, in cash, promptly on demand, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment to the Company of the aggregate amount of any such taxes and other amounts required to be withheld.  If Shares are deliverable upon exercise or payment of an Award, the Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or a portion of the foreign, federal, state and local withholding tax obligations arising in connection with such Award by electing to (a) have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under the Award, (b) tender back Shares received in connection with such Award, or (c) deliver other previously owned Shares; provided that the amount to be withheld may not exceed the total minimum foreign, federal, state and local tax withholding obligations associated with the transaction to the extent needed for the Company to avoid an accounting charge.  If an election is provided, the election must be made on or before the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined and otherwise as the Company requires.  In any case, the Company may defer making payment or delivery under any Award if any such tax may be pending unless and until indemnified to its satisfaction.
 
(b)            No Guarantee of Tax Treatment .  Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan, the Company does not guarantee to any Participant or any other person with an interest in an Award that any Award intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A shall be so exempt, nor that any Award intended to comply with Code Section 409A shall so comply, nor that any Award designated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Code Section 422 qualifies as such, and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall indemnify, defend or hold harmless any individual with respect to the tax consequences of any such failure.
 
14.            ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS; CHANGE OF CONTROL.
 
(a)            Adjustment of Shares .  If (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger or other transaction in which the Shares are changed or exchanged; (ii) the Company shall subdivide or combine the Shares or the Company shall declare a dividend payable in Shares, other securities or other property; (iii) the Company shall effect a cash dividend the amount of which, on a per Share basis, exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share at the time the dividend is declared, or the Company shall effect any other dividend or other distribution on the Shares in the form of cash, or a repurchase of Shares, that the Committee determines by resolution is special or extraordinary in nature or that is in connection with a transaction that is a recapitalization or reorganization involving the Shares; or (iv) any other event shall occur, which, in the case of this subsection (iv), in the judgment of the Committee necessitates an adjustment to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan, then, in each case, the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of: (w) the number and type of Shares subject to this Plan (including the number and type of Shares that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options), (x) the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, (y) the grant, purchase, or exercise price with respect to any Award, and (z) the performance goals established under any Award.
 
(i)           In any such case, the Committee may also make provision for a cash payment, in an amount determined by the Committee, to the holder of an outstanding Award in exchange for the cancellation of all or a portion of the Award (without the consent of the holder of an Award), effective at such time as the Committee specifies (which may be the time such transaction or event is effective); provided that any such adjustment to an Award that is exempt from Code Section 409A shall be made in a manner that permits the Award to continue to be so exempt, and any adjustment to an Award that is subject to Code Section 409A shall be made in a manner that complies with the provisions thereof.  However, with respect to Awards of incentive stock options, no such adjustment may be authorized to the extent that such authority would cause this Plan to violate Code Section 422(b). Further, the number of Shares subject to any Award payable or denominated in Shares must always be a whole number.
 
(ii)          Without limitation, in the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or other similar corporate transaction or event, whether or not constituting a Change of Control, other than any such transaction in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which the outstanding Common Stock is not being converted into or exchanged for different securities, cash or other property, or any combination thereof, the Committee may provide that awards, without limitation, will be assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent, will have the vesting accelerated or will be cancelled with or without consideration, in all cases without the consent of the Participant.
 
 
8

 
 
(iii)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend declared in lieu of an ordinary cash dividend) or subdivision or combination of the Shares (including a reverse stock split), adjustments contemplated by this subsection that are proportionate shall nevertheless automatically be made as of the date of such stock dividend or subdivision or combination of the Shares.
 
(b)            Issuance or Assumption .  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and without affecting the number of Shares otherwise reserved or available under this Plan, in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization, the Committee may authorize the cancellation, with or without consideration, issuance, assumption or acceleration of vesting of awards upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, in all cases without the consent of the Participant.
 
(c)            Change of Control .  Upon a Change of Control, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that any or all outstanding Awards held by Participants who are then in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate shall vest or be deemed to have been earned in full, and:
 
(i)           If the successor or surviving corporation (or parent thereof) so agrees, all outstanding Awards shall be assumed, or replaced with the same type of award with similar terms and conditions, by the successor or surviving corporation (or parent thereof) in the Change of Control.  If applicable, each Award which is assumed by the successor or surviving corporation (or parent thereof) shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change of Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Participant upon the consummation of such Change of Control had the Award been exercised or vested immediately prior to such Change of Control, and such other appropriate adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Award shall be made.
 
(ii)          If the provisions of paragraph (i) do not apply, then all outstanding Awards shall be cancelled as of the date of the Change of Control and, at the option of the Committee, may be exchanged for a payment in cash and/or Shares (which may include shares or other securities of any surviving or successor entity or the purchasing entity or any parent thereof) equal to:
 
(1)           In the case of an Option or SAR, the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of the Change of Control covered by the vested portion of the Option or SAR that has not been exercised over the exercise or grant price of such Shares under the Award;
 
(2)           In the case of Restricted Stock Units, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the Change of Control multiplied by the number of vested units, unless otherwise provided in the Award agreement and subject to the repurchase right set forth in Section 15 hereof; and
 
(3)           In the case of a Performance Share Award, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the Change of Control multiplied by the number of earned Shares.
 
(d)            Parachute Payment Limitation .
 
(i)           Except as may be set forth in a written agreement by and between the Company and the holder of an Award, in the event that the Company’s auditors determine that any payment or transfer by the Company under the Plan to or for the benefit of a Participant (a “Payment”) would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes because of the provisions concerning “excess parachute payments” in Code Section 280G, then the aggregate present value of all Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount (defined herein).  For purposes of this Section 14(d), the “Reduced Amount” shall be the amount, expressed as a present value, which maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Code Section 280G.
 
 
9

 
 
(ii)           If the Company’s auditors determine that any Payment would be nondeductible by the Company because of Code Section 280G, then the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion, which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount)  and shall advise the Company in writing of his or her election within ten (10) days of receipt of notice.  If no such election is made by the Participant within such ten (10) day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Participant promptly of such election.  For purposes of this Section 14(d), present value shall be determined in accordance with Code Section 280G(d)(4).  All determinations made by the Company’s auditors under this Section 14(d) shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant and shall be made within sixty (60) days of the date when a Payment becomes payable or transferable.  As promptly as practicable following such determination and the elections hereunder, the Company shall pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant such amounts as are then due to him or her under the Plan and shall promptly pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant in the future such amounts as become due to him or her under the Plan.
 
(iii)          Except to the extent such payment was made in connection with a Change of Control, as a result of uncertainty in the application of Code Section 280G at the time of an initial determination by the Company’s auditors hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by the Company that should not have been made (an “Overpayment”) or that additional Payments that will not have been made by the Company could have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder.  In the event that the Company’s auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant that the auditors believe has a high probability of success, determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which he or she shall repay to the Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in Code Section 7872(f)(2); provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent that such payment would not reduce the amount subject to taxation under Code Section 4999.  In the event that the auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in Code Section 7872(f)(2).
 
(iv)         For purposes of this Section 14(d), the term “Company” shall include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the auditors in accordance with Code Section 280G(d)(5).
 
15.            STOCK TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.
 
(a)            Restriction on Transfer of Options .  No Option shall be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant, or by the Participant’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the Participant’s incapacity.  The Participant may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company, and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company, and any such beneficiary may exercise the Participant’s Option in the event of the Participant’s death to the extent provided herein.  If the Participant does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Participant, the legal representative of the Participant may exercise the Option in the event of the Participant’s death to the extent provided herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award agreement regarding a given Option that the Participant may transfer, without consideration for the transfer, his or her Options to members of his or her immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Option.
 
(b)            Issued Shares .  No Issued Shares shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms of the applicable Award, all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act), and with the terms and conditions of this Section 15.  In connection with any proposed transfer, the Committee may require the transferor to provide at the transferor’s own expense an opinion of counsel to the transferor and the Company, satisfactory to the Committee, that such transfer is in compliance with all foreign, federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act).  Any attempted disposition of Issued Shares not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 15 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Issued Shares as a result of any such disposition, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such disposition and shall not in any way give effect to any such disposition of Issued Shares.
 
 
10

 
 
(c)            Legends .  The Company may cause a legend or legends to be put on any certificates for shares to make appropriate references to any applicable legal restrictions on transfer.
 
(d)            Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure .  If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the outstanding Shares of the Company, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the Company’s stock, the restrictions contained in this Section 15 shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by Participant in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Issued Shares.
 
16.            MISCELLANEOUS.
 
(a)            Other Terms and Conditions .  The grant of any Award under this Plan may also be subject to other provisions (whether or not applicable to the Award awarded to any other Participant) as the Committee determines appropriate, subject to any limitations imposed in the Plan.
 
(b)            Code Section 409A .  The provisions of Code Section 409A are incorporated herein by reference to the extent necessary for any Award that is subject to Code Section 409A to comply therewith.
 
(c)            Employment or Service .  The issuance of an Award shall not confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continued employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate, or the right to continue as a consultant or director.  Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, for purposes of the Plan and all Awards, the following rules shall apply:
 
(i)           a Participant who transfers employment between the Company and any Affiliate, or between Affiliates, will not be considered to have terminated employment;
 
(ii)           a Participant who ceases to be a consultant, advisor or non-employee director because he or she becomes an employee of the Company or an Affiliate shall not be considered to have ceased service with respect to any Award until such Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates;
 
(iii)          a Participant who ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company and immediately thereafter becomes a non-employee director of the Company or any Affiliate, or a consultant to the Company or any Affiliate, shall not be considered to have terminated employment until such Participant’s service as a director of, or consultant to, the Company and its Affiliates has ceased; and
 
(iv)          a Participant employed by an Affiliate will be considered to have terminated employment when such entity ceases to be an Affiliate of the Company.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to an Award subject to Code Section 409A, a Participant shall be considered to have terminated employment (where termination of employment triggers payment of the Award) upon the date of his separation from service within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
 
(d)            No Fractional Shares .  No fractional Shares or other securities may be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan, and the Committee may determine whether cash, other securities or other property will be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or other securities, or whether such fractional Shares or other securities or any rights to fractional Shares or other securities will be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.
 
 
11

 
 
(e)            Unfunded Plan .  This Plan is unfunded and does not create, and should not be construed to create, a trust or separate fund with respect to this Plan’s benefits. This Plan does not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant. To the extent any person holds any rights by virtue of an Award granted under this Plan, such rights are no greater than the rights of the Company’s general unsecured creditors.
 
(f)            Requirements of Law .  The granting of Awards under this Plan and the issuance of Shares in connection with an Award are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any award agreement, the Company has no liability to deliver any Shares under this Plan or make any payment unless such delivery or payment would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.  In such event, the Company may substitute cash for any Share(s) otherwise deliverable hereunder without the consent of the Participant or any other person.
 
(g)            Governing Law .  This Plan, and all agreements under this Plan, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to any conflict of law principles.  Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Plan, any Award or any award agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Plan, any Award or any award agreement, may only be brought and determined in a court sitting in the State of New York, New York County.
 
(h)            Limitations on Actions .  Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Plan, any Award or any Award agreement, must be brought within one year (365 days) after the day the complaining party first knew or should have known of the events giving rise to the complaint.
 
(i)            Construction .   Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were used in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and wherever any words are used in the singular or plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply.  Titles of sections are for general information only, and the Plan is not to be construed with reference to such titles.
 
(j)            Severability .  If any provision of this Plan or any award agreement or any Award (i) is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or (ii) would disqualify this Plan, any award agreement or any Award, then such provision should be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Plan, award agreement or Award, then such provision should be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of this Plan, such award agreement and such Award will remain in full force and effect.
