Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Amendment to Promissory Notes

 

On July 20, 2016, Carolco Pictures, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into that certain Amendment to Promissory Notes (“Notes Amendment”) with Alexander Bafer, whereby the maturity date of each of our five loans from Mr. Bafer was amended to be August 1, 2017 instead of October 1, 2015. The five loans are represented by Replacement Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”). Pursuant to the terms of the Notes Amendment, Mr. Bafer waived any default under each of the Notes through the date of the Notes Amendment as a result of any amounts payable under the Notes not being paid as of October 1, 2015 and waived the payment of any Default Interest (as defined in the Notes) through the date of the Notes Amendment as a result of such failure of payment. No other terms of the loans changed, and we did not pay any consideration for the extension. Our outstanding balance on the loans under the Notes as of July 20, 2016 was approximately $468,662.

 

The Notes Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1

 

Redemption and Issuance Agreement.

 

On July 21, 2016, the Company entered into a Redemption and Issuance Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) by and between the Company and South Centre, Inc., an entity owned and controlled by David Cohen, the Company’s sole director (at the time) and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, on the same date, the Company redeemed 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Stock”) in exchange for the payment to South Centre of $0.0001 per share, for a total consideration of $250. The Company undertook the redemption for the purposes of obtaining the shares of Series A Stock so that such shares could be paid to certain third parties in connection with the Contribution Agreement as disclosed below.

 

Also pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, on the same date, the Company issued to South Centre 12,750,000 shares of newly designated Series C Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series C Stock”) in exchange for payment to the Company of $1,275.

 

The Redemption Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.7.

 

Contribution Agreement

 

On July 25, 2016, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) by and between the Company, Recall Studios, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Recall”), South Centre, Inc. (“South Centre”) and various other shareholders of Recall (the “Recall Shareholders”).

 

The Contribution Agreement provided that the Recall Shareholders would contribute to the Company all of the shares of Recall held by the Recall Shareholders, which would result in Recall becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In return for the contributions by the Recall Shareholders, the Company issued to the Recall Shareholders 25,256,250 shares of Series C Stock and 2,500,000 shares of the Series A Stock, that were redeemed by the Company from South Centre, as described above. The transactions under the Contribution Agreement closed on July 25, 2016.

 

The Contribution Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.8.

The Chairman Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.12.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On July 25, 2016, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company issued 1,990,000 shares of Series A Stock and 25,256,250 shares of Series C Stock to the Recall Shareholders in exchange for the contribution to the Company by the Recall Shareholders (collectively) of 25,256,250 shares of common stock of Recall, and 748,334 shares of Class A Preferred Stock of Recall, collectively constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Recall.

 

Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement pursuant to which South Centre returned 2,500,000 shares of the Series A Stock to the Company, on July 25, 2016, the Company issued to South Centre 12,750,000 shares of Series C Stock in exchange for payment to the Company of $1,275.

 

At the option of the holder thereof, each share of Series C Stock is convertible into two shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) provided that this option is not exercisable until there are sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized for the conversion of all of the Series C Stock. There is no adjustment to the conversion ratio in the event of a reverse stock split of the common stock or for any other reason.

 

In addition to the above, on the closing of the transaction with Recall, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series C Stock to Harrison Smith (a former shareholder of Recall) and 993,750 shares of Series C Stock to Frank Esposito (an advisor to the Company) in consideration of services rendered to the Company in connection with the Contribution Agreement and the transactions therein.

 

The issuances of the Series A Stock and the Series C Stock to the Recall Shareholders were completed pursuant to exemptions from registrations provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

In addition, as discussed above, pursuant to the Employment Agreement with Mr. Bafer, on the commencement of his employment term, the Company issued to Mr. Bafer 510,000 shares of Series A Stock of the Company, which shares were immediately vested.

As a result of these transactions, South Centre’s voting control of the Company was eliminated.

Mr. Morris is our Chief Operating Officer and a Director of the Company. Mr. Morris is a technology and multi-media veteran with a unique insight into the obstacles facing Virtual Reality and media convergence today. Over the course of his career, Mr. Morris has directed and produced content for industry giants FOX, NBC, The Discovery Channel, SPIKE and E!. He has designed user experiences for a wide range of mediums including immersive content, mobile games, apps and websites. Prior to joining Recall Studios, Mr. Morris served as CEO of SynappsVR, a next generation content company that has pioneered the Virtual Reality landscape. Earlier in his career, Mr. Morris joined FTI Consulting where he helped facilitate deals and restructure over $40 billion of assets for various clients including GM, Lehman Brothers Creditors, the Government of Ireland, TD Bank and Citi. Seeking to broaden his horizons, he founded SynApps Media, a mobile app development firm that worked with clients ranging from AXA insurance to the WNBA’s Washington Mystics. Mr. Morris holds a degree in computer science from Brown University where he worked with the school’s Virtual Reality Lab called The Cave. Mr. Morris also holds a Masters degree in Real Estate Finance from NYU.

 

Mr. Bafer is our Chief Development Officer, a Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Bafer is a seasoned executive and established entrepreneur, having generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue for companies during his career. Mr. Bafer has successfully led the organization and development of numerous startup companies, and achieved many successful exits. The Company is the latest success story for Mr. Bafer. During the 5 years under his direction, the Company (formerly known as Brick Top Productions) went public, acquired an Emmy award-winning production company that was generating substantial revenue, and acquired the rights to the name and service mark of “Carolco Pictures”, which belonged to a now defunct but famous Academy Award winning studio behind blockbuster films Terminator 2 & 3, The Rambo Series, Total Recall, and Basic Instinct, just to name a few of the 36 films produced by the famous studio that earned it 16 Academy Award nominations and 6 Academy Award wins. Mr. Bafer’s vision was to rebrand the Company as the new “Carolco Pictures” and reunite the powerhouse name with the famous studio’s original founder and CEO, Mario Kassar. Mr. Bafer was successful, bringing Mr. Kassar on board as the Company’s Chief Development Executive and also as Chairman of the Board from February 2015 through January 2016. This ultimately resulted in the October 2015 sale of Mr. Bafer’s majority interest of the Company for a significant multiple. Given the successes yet to come, Mr. Bafer could not stay away from the Company for long. When new management of the Company asked him to come back to assist in leading the Company back to prominence, Mr. Bafer agreed. Prior to his work with the Company, Mr. Bafer was an equity partner with Guaranteed Mortgage Bankers, where he was responsible for managing and training 75 sales agents throughout 6 multi state offices. During his 4-year tenure at Guaranteed Mortgage, before selling his equity interest, his efforts resulted in a cumulative revenue increase for the company of more than 300%. Mr. Bafer’s business management and financial acumen were apparent even early on in his career and have permeated throughout it ever since. After graduating in the top 4% of his St. John’s University class, Mr. Bafer moved on to help manage a $500 million portfolio at Merrill Lynch in New York City. He then assumed a position as senior account executive with Preferred Securities Group in Boca Raton, Florida, where he was quickly promoted to President and Managing Director responsible for overseeing the firm’s three trading offices, 50 registered representatives and numerous support personnel. From there he accepted an equity position as a fund manager where he was involved in all aspects of building, organizing and managing a hedge fund. Throughout his career, Mr. Bafer has been involved with Investment Management of America, a venture capital firm and incubator, where he has been instrumental in raising capital for numerous prominent start-up ventures. Mr. Bafer has proven to be a successful asset to the management and support teams of several startups and continues to utilize his successes and proven experience in business development to assist others in organizing and developing their business’s from any stage, whether it be a startup or a developed company in need of capital, expansion, guidance or ultimately an exit.

  5.8. Full Disclosure . No representation or warranty of the South Centre to the Company in this Agreement omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

  5.9. Accredited Investor and Other Matters.

South Centre has been afforded the opportunity to review such documents and materials and the information contained therein. South Centre has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. South Centre understands that such discussions, as well as any written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. Additionally, South Centre understands and represents that it is purchasing the Series C Shares notwithstanding the fact that the Company may disclose in the future certain material information that the South Centre has not received, including the financial results of the Company for their current fiscal quarters. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such South Centre shall modify, amend or affect such South Centre’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties, if any, contained herein. South Centre has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its investment in the Series C Shares. South Centre has full power and authority to make the representations referred to herein, to purchase the Series C Shares and to execute and deliver this Agreement.

The Company has not, however, rendered any investment advice to the undersigned with respect to the suitability.
     
  5.9.11. South Centre understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the securities included in the Series C Shares, as well as the common stock issuable with respect thereto, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such certificates):

  5.9.12. South Centre also acknowledges and agrees that an investment in the Series C Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk of loss of the entire investment in the Company, and there is no assurance that a public market for the will be available and that, as a result, South Centre may not be able to liquidate South Centre’s investment in the Series C Shares should a need arise to do so.

FORM OF confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement

 

(Attached)

 

 
 

 

NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

 Dated as of July 25, 2016

 

This Non-Disclosure Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the date first set forth above by and between Carolco Pictures, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and the person whose name is set forth on the signature page hereof adjacent to “Recipient” (the “Recipient”, and together with the Company, the “Parties” and each individually, a “Party”).

 

WHEREAS, Recipient is an employee or officer of Company and will obtain certain Confidential Information (as defined below) of Company in connection with such relationship, and the Parties desire to provide for certain matters related to such Confidential Information as set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to any and all discussions involving or related to the provision of Confidential Information to Recipient.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1. The purpose of this Agreement is to allow Recipient to obtain from the Company certain technical and business information of the Company under terms that will protect the confidential and proprietary nature of such information, for the purpose of furthering the Parties’ relationship (the “Purpose”).

 

2. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all information furnished or disclosed, in whatever form or medium, by the Company or its Representatives (as defined below) to Recipient or his Representatives, and shall include all information relating to the Company, including, but not limited to:

 

  a. any data or information that is competitively sensitive material, including but not limited to products, planning information, marketing strategies and opportunities, price lists, plans, finance, operations, customer relationships or potential customer relationships, customer profiles, partner relationships or potential partner relationships, advertising and public relation relationships or potential advertising and public relation relationships, sales estimates, business plan and internal performances results relating to the past, present or future business activities of the Company or its owners, or the Company’s customers, clients, manufacturers, vendors, employees or suppliers;
     
  b. all concepts, documentation reports, data, specifications, notes, drawings, diagrams, computer software, source code, object code, flow charts, databases, inventions, information, know-how, show-how and trade secrets, whether or not patentable or copyrightable regarding the Company’s business;
     
  c. all customer, client, employee, vendor, or supplier lists; and
     
  d. such other information as the Company may identify to the Recipient as being confidential or privileged by means of a notation or confidential legend on the applicable document.

 

3. Recipient agrees to use Confidential Information only for the Purpose and shall use reasonable care not to disclose Confidential Information to any third party, such care to be at least equal to the care exercised by Recipient as to its own confidential information, which standard of care shall not be less than the current industry standard in effect as of the date of such receipt. Recipient agrees that it shall make disclosure of any such Confidential Information only to employees (including temporary and leased employees subject to a confidentiality obligation), officers, directors, attorneys and wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Representatives”), to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for the Purpose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Recipient may, with notice to the Company, disclose any Confidential Information as and to the extent that Recipient’s counsel deems required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation, or pursuant to the order of a court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction provided, however, that in such case Recipient shall inform the Company prior to such disclosure and shall only disclose so much of the Confidential Information as may be required for compliance with such law or governmental regulation and provided that Recipient shall cooperate with Company to legally contest, request confidential treatment, or otherwise avoid such disclosure, as requested by the Company.

 

 
 

 

4. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, or upon the termination of Recipient’s relationship with the Company or upon request by the Company made at any time, all Confidential Information, together with any copies of same as may be authorized herein, shall be returned to the Company, or destroyed and certified as such by Recipient.

 

5. The obligations imposed in this Agreement shall not apply to any Confidential Information that: (i) was already in the possession of Recipient at the time of disclosure without restrictions on its use or is independently developed by Recipient after the effective date of this Agreement, provided that the person or persons developing same have not used any Confidential Information in such development, or is rightfully obtained from a source other than from the Company; (ii) is in the public domain at the time of disclosure or subsequently becomes available to the general public through no fault of Recipient; (iii) is obtained by Recipient from a third person who is under no obligation of confidence to the Company; or (iv) is disclosed without restriction by the Company.

 

6. Each Party acknowledges that this Agreement and any meetings and communications of the Parties and their affiliates relating to the same subject matter hereof shall not constitute a representation, warranty, assurance, guarantee or inducement with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any Confidential Information or the non-infringement of the rights of third persons.

 

7. Neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by either Party in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other Party.

 

8. Nothing herein shall be construed as granting to Recipient or its affiliates any right or license to use or practice any of the information defined herein as Confidential Information and which is subject to this Agreement as well as any trade secrets, know-how, copyrights, inventions, patents or other intellectual property rights now or hereafter owned or controlled by the Company. Except as allowed by applicable law, Recipient shall not use any tradename, service mark or trademark of the Company or refer to the Company in any promotional or sales activity or materials without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Company.

 

9. The Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to any information disclosed by it to Recipient except that the Company hereby represents and warrants to Recipient that the Company has the legal right and power to disclose any information disclosed by it hereunder.

 

10. This Agreement shall be governed and construed under the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Recipient hereby acknowledges and agrees that remedies at law will be inadequate to protect the Company from any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement and that any such breach would cause irreparable and continuing injury to the Company. Therefore, Recipient agrees that the Company shall be entitled to seek equitable relief without any requirement to post a bond, including, without limitation, injunction and specific performance, without proof of actual damages or exhausting other remedies, in addition to all other remedies available to the Parties at law or in equity.

 

 
 

 

11. Any notice to be given under this Agreement by either Party to the other Party shall be in writing and sent to an officer at its address set forth on the signature pages hereof by certified or registered mail or by overnight air courier, or by email with return receipt requested and received, and shall be deemed received three days after deposit in the mail or with such courier, properly addressed, postage prepaid, or upon receipt of a return receipt is sent by email. If either Party changes its address during the term of this Agreement, it shall notify the other Party at its address set forth above in the manner provided in the preceding sentence.

 

12. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended or modified by either Party, unless such waiver, amendment or modification is made in writing and signed by both Parties. Each Party agrees that no failure or delay by the other in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. This Agreement contains all the terms of the Parties’ agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous agreements between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

13. In the event any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, such invalid portion shall be deleted and the Agreement shall continue in effect for all other purposes. A faxed or copied version of this document has the same effect and meaning as the original.

 

14. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, binding upon all of the Parties. In pleading or proving any provision of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce more than one set of such counterparts. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

15. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by either Party giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party. Unless earlier terminated, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on the cessation of Recipient’s employment by, or service as an officer to, the Company. The obligations of the Parties under paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5, and 12 of this Agreement shall survive such termination for a period of three (3) years.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Executive Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective the 25 th day of July, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) by and among Carolco Pictures, Inc. (“Employer”) and Bradley Albert (“Executive”), an individual (each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS , Employer is desirous of employing Executive pursuant to the terms and conditions and for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, and Executive is desirous of entering the employ of Employer pursuant to such terms and conditions and for such consideration.

 

NOW, THEREFORE , for and in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and obligations contained herein, Employer and Executive agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1: EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES:

 

1.1. Employer agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to be employed by Employer, beginning as of the Effective Date and continuing for one year thereafter (the “Term”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Term shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless either Party provides the other Party with written notice of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current Term.

 

1.2. Upon the Effective Date, Executive shall be employed as President and Chief Creative Officer of Employer. Executive agrees to serve in the assigned position and to perform diligently and to the best of Executive’s abilities the duties and services appertaining to such position as determined by Employer, as well as such additional or different duties and services appropriate to such position which Executive from time to time may be reasonably directed to perform by Employer.

 

1.3. Executive shall, during the period of Executive’s employment by Employer, devote Executive’s full business time, energy, and best efforts to the business and affairs of Employer. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Parties recognize and agree that Executive may engage in passive personal investments and other business activities which do not conflict with the business and affairs of the Employer or interfere with Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder. In that regard, Executive may serve on the board of directors of up to six corporations of his choice, so long as service on any such board simultaneously with his service on Employer’s Board of Directors, if such service is requested, does not constitute a violation of federal statutory provisions, or related rules and regulations, pertaining to interlocking directorships and the meeting times of such boards of directors do not conflict with the meeting times of Employer’s Board of Directors. Executive shall be permitted to retain any compensation received for such service on other corporations’ boards of directors.

 

 
     

 

1.4. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty, fidelity and allegiance to act at all times in the best interests of the Employer and to do no act which would intentionally injure Employer’s business, its interests, or its reputation. It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest in, connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, particularly commercial activities, which interest might in any way adversely affect Employer, or any of its affiliates, involves a possible conflict of interest. In keeping with Executive’s fiduciary duties to Employer, Executive agrees that Executive shall not knowingly become involved in a conflict of interest with Employer, or its affiliates, or upon discovery thereof, allow such a conflict to continue.

 

1.5. Executive shall report to Employer’s Board of Directors from time to time.

 

1.6. Executive may participate in meetings of Employer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as may be permitted by the Board.

 

ARTICLE 2: COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

 

2.1. In accordance with customary compensation practices, Executive will receive $5,417.00 per month, commencing as of the Effective Date hereof, with any pro rata portion payable on or about the first of the month after the Effective Date, subject to applicable taxes and withholding, for so long as Executive remains employed by Employer or unless or until this Agreement is amended in writing by the Parties.

 

All compensation will be subject to standard payroll withholdings and taxes as required by law.

 

2.2. In addition, Executive will be eligible to receive a bonus, payable in Employer’s sole discretion.

 

2.3. The amount of Executive’s compensation shall be reviewed periodically, and at minimum shall be reviewed annually. It may be increased at the sole discretion of the Board or its Compensation Committee, if any, provided, however, that, consistent with the renewal provisions contained in Article 1.1, supra , such compensation shall, after the initial Term, be placed before the Board or the Compensation Committee, if any, for a requested increase to cover cost of living expenses upon subsequent renewals of this Agreement.

 

2.4. As of the Effective date, to the extent not already done, Employer shall provide Executive with standard benefits ordinarily granted to an executive in Executive’s position and ordinarily associated with the custom and practice of the industry, if any.

 

2.5. From and after the Effective Date, Employer shall pay, or reimburse Executive, for all ordinary, reasonable and necessary expenses which Executive incurs in performing Executive’s duties under this Agreement including, but not limited to, travel, entertainment, professional dues and subscriptions, and all dues, fees and expenses associated with membership in various professional, business and civic associations and societies of which Executive’s participation is in the best interest of Employer.

 

 
     

 

2.6. While employed by Employer, Executive shall be allowed to participate, on the same basis generally as other Executives of Employer, in all general Executive benefit plans and programs, including improvements or modifications of the same, which on the effective date or thereafter are made available by Employer to all or substantially all of Employer’s executive Executives. Such benefits, plans, and programs may include, without limitation, medical, health, and dental care, life insurance, disability protection, and qualified retirement plans. Except as specifically provided herein, nothing in this Agreement is to be construed or interpreted to provide greater rights, participation, coverage, or benefits under such benefit plans or programs than provided to executive Executives pursuant to the terms and conditions of such benefit plans and programs.

 

2.7. Employer shall not by reason of this Article 2 be obligated to institute, maintain, or refrain from changing, amending, or discontinuing, any incentive compensation or Executive benefit program or plan, so long as such actions are similarly applicable to covered Executives generally.

 

2.8. Employer may withhold from any compensation, benefits, or amount payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

 

ARTICLE 3: TERMINATION PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF TERM AND EFFECTS OF SUCH TERMINATION:

 

3.1. Executive’s employment with Employer shall be terminated (i) upon the death of Executive; (ii) for Cause, as defined in Section 3.3; or (iii) upon Executive’s permanent disability (permanent disability being defined as Executive’s physical or mental incapacity to perform his usual duties as an Executive with such condition likely to remain continuously for more than three months, provided, however, that in such event, Executive’s employment shall be continued hereunder for a period of not less than one year from the date of such disability, but not beyond the end of the Term, with Executive’s base salary during such period to be reduced by any Employer-financed disability benefits.

 

3.2. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the death of Executive or permanent disability of Executive (as defined in Section 3.1), all future compensation to which Executive is otherwise entitled and all future benefits for which Executive is eligible shall become due and payable as of the date of termination, except as specifically provided in this Section 3.2. Executive, or his estate in the case of Executive’s death, shall be entitled to Executive’s pro rata salary through the date of such termination and shall be entitled to any individual bonuses or individual incentive compensation not yet paid but due under Employer’s plans but shall not be entitled to any other payments by or on behalf of Employer except for those which may be payable pursuant to the terms of Employer’s Executive benefit plans or by virtue of Executive’s ownership of Employer’s stock which shall remain unaffected by the termination of Executive’s employment.

 

 
     

 

3.3. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time for Cause, which termination shall be effective immediately. Termination for “Cause” shall include termination for:

 

(i) material breach of this Agreement by Executive;

 

(ii) intentional nonperformance or mis-performance of such duties, or refusal to abide by or comply with the reasonable directives of his superior officers, or the Employer’s policies and procedures;

 

(iii) Executive’s negligence in the performance of his material duties under this Agreement;

 

(iv) Executive’s willful dishonesty, fraud or misconduct with respect to the business or affairs of the Employer, that in the reasonable judgment of the Board materially and adversely affects Employer;

 

(v) Executive’s conviction of, or a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; or

 

(vi) the commission of any act in direct or indirect competition with or materially detrimental to the best interests of Employer that is in breach of Executive’s fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and good faith to Employer.

 

“Cause” will not, however, include any actions or circumstances constituting Cause under clause (i) or (ii) above if Executive cures such actions or circumstances within 30 days of receipt of written notice from Employer setting forth the actions or circumstances constituting Cause. In the event Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated for Cause, Executive shall thereafter have no right to receive compensation or other benefits under this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 4: OWNERSHIP AND PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION:

 

4.1. All information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, and inventions, whether patentable or not, which are conceived, made, developed or acquired by Executive, individually or in conjunction with others, during Executive’s employment by Employer (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on Employer’s premises or otherwise) which relate to Employer’s business, products or services (including, without limitation, all such information relating to corporate opportunities, research, financial and sales data, pricing ad trading terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, the identity of key contacts within the customer’s organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names, and marks), and all writings or materials of any type embodying any of such items, shall be disclosed to Employer and are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Employer.

 

4.2. Executive acknowledges that the businesses of Employer and its affiliates are highly competitive and that their strategies, methods, books, records, and documents, their technical information concerning their products, equipment, services, and processes, procurement procedures and pricing techniques, the names of and other information (such as credit and financial data) concerning their customers and business affiliates, all comprise confidential business information and trade secrets which are valuable, special, and unique assets which Employer, or its affiliates use in their business to obtain a competitive advantage over their competitors. Executive further acknowledges that protection of such confidential business information and trade secrets against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to Employer, and its affiliates in maintaining their competitive position. Executive hereby agrees that Executive will not, at any time during or after his employment by Employer, make any unauthorized disclosure of any confidential business information or trade secrets of Employer, or its affiliates, or make any use thereof, except in the carrying out of his employment responsibilities hereunder. The above notwithstanding, a disclosure shall not be unauthorized if (i) it is required by law or by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) it is in connection with any judicial or other legal proceeding in which Executive’s legal rights and obligations as an Executive or under this Agreement are at issue; provided, however, that Executive shall, to the extent practicable and lawful in any such events, give prior notice to Employer of his intent to disclose any such confidential business information in such context so as to allow Employer an opportunity (which Executive will not oppose) to obtain such protective orders or similar relief with respect thereto as it may deem appropriate.

 

 
     

 

4.3. All written materials, records, and other documents made by, or coming into the possession of, Executive during the period of Executive’s employment by Employer which contain or disclose confidential business information or trade secrets of Employer, or its affiliates shall be and remain the property of Employer, or its affiliates, as the case may be. Upon termination of Executive’s employment by Employer, for any reason, Executive promptly shall deliver the same, and all copies thereof, to Employer.

 

ARTICLE 5: POST-EMPLOYMENT AND NON-COMPETITION OBLIGATIONS :

 

5.1. As part of the consideration for the compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder, and as an additional incentive for Employer to enter into this Agreement, Employer and Executive agree to the non-competition provisions of this Article 5. Executive agrees that during the period of Executive’s non-competition obligations hereunder (twelve months), Executive will not, directly or indirectly for Executive or for others, in any geographic area or market where Employer or any of their affiliated companies are conducting any business (other than de minimis business operations) as of the date of termination of the employment relationship or have during the previous twelve months conducted any business (other than de minimis business operations):

 

(i) engage in any business directly competitive with any business (other than de minimis business operations) conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates;

 

(ii) render advice or services to, or otherwise assist, any other person, association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any business directly competitive with any business(other than de minimis business operations) conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates; or

 

(iii) induce any Executive of Employer or any of its affiliates (other than Executive’s personal secretary or administrative assistant)to terminate his employment with Employer, or its affiliates, or hire or assist in the hiring of any such induced Executive by any person, association, or entity not affiliated with Employer. These non-competition obligations shall extend until two years after termination of the employment relationship between Employer and Executive. The above notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 5.1 shall prohibit Executive from engaging in or being employed by any entity that engages in the provision of management consulting or other consulting services to third parties, even where such entity on occasion renders advice or services to, or otherwise assists, any other person, association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any business directly competitive with any business conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates, so long as Executive does not personally, directly or indirectly (A) participate in rendering such advice, services or assistance to any such competing person, association or entity, (B) provide any information or other assistance to any other person employed by Executive or by any such consulting entity for use, directly or indirectly, in rendering such assistance to any competing person, association or entity or (C) engage in any conduct which would be violative of the provisions of Article 4 hereof.

 

 
     

 

5.2. Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his ability to engage in certain businesses in any geographic area or market where Employer or any of their affiliated companies are conducting any business (other than de minimis business operations) during the period provided for above, but acknowledges that Executive will receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits under this Agreement to justify such restriction. Executive acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 5 by Executive, and agrees that Employer, on its own behalf or on behalf of any of its affiliates, shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article 5, but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity to Employer, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from Executive and his agents involved in such breach.

 

5.3. It is expressly understood and agreed that Employer and Executive consider the restrictions contained in this Article 5 to be reasonable and necessary to protect the proprietary information and goodwill of Employer and its affiliates. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions therein set forth to be modified by such courts so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified by the court, to be fully enforced.

 

ARTICLE 6: MISCELLANEOUS:

 

6.1. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the terms “affiliates” or “affiliated” means an entity who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Employer or in which Employer has a 50% or more equity interest, and (ii) any action or omission permitted to be taken or omitted by Employer hereunder shall only be taken or omitted by Employer upon the express authority to do so.

 

6.2. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received by or tendered to Executive or Employer, as applicable, by pre-paid courier or by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective Parties at their last known address or electronic mail address if routinely used.

 

6.3. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflict-of-law rule or principle that might refer to the laws of another State or country. Any action or proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement, which cannot be resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Executive and Employer within thirty (30) days from the date that either Party informs the other in writing that such dispute or disagreement exists (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed upon in writing), shall be finally settled by an arbitration conducted in the English language by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Any arbitration instituted under shall be conducted in the AAA offices in the County of New York, in the State of New York. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the Parties and judgment may be entered thereon, upon the application of either Party, by any court having jurisdiction. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in preparing and presenting its case; the cost of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrators, will be shared equally by the Parties, unless the arbitration award provides otherwise.

 

 
     

 

6.4. No failure by either Party hereto at any time to give notice of any breach by the other Party of, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

 

6.5. It is a desire and intent of the Parties that the terms, provisions, covenants, and remedies contained in this Agreement shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any such term, provision, covenant, or remedy of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, association, or entity or circumstances shall, to any extent, be construed to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, then such term, provision, covenant, or remedy shall be construed in a manner so as to permit its enforceability under the applicable law to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any case, the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, association, or entity or circumstances other than those to which they have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect.

 

6.6. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employer and any other person, association, or entity which may hereafter acquire or succeed to all or substantially all of the business or assets of Employer by any means whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise. Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement are personal and such rights, benefits, and obligations of Executive shall not be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated, or transferred, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Employer, other than in the case of death or incompetence of Executive.

 

6.7. This Agreement replaces and merges any previous agreements and discussions pertaining to the subject matter covered herein. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with regard to such subject matter, and contains all of the covenants, promises, representations, warranties, and agreements between the Parties with respect such subject matter. Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representation, inducement, promise, or agreement, oral or written, has been made by either Party with respect to such subject matter, which is not embodied herein, and that no agreement, statement, or promise relating to the employment of Executive by Employer that is not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding. Any modification of this Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by each Party whose rights hereunder are affected thereby, provided that any such modification must be authorized or approved by the Board of Directors of Employer.

 

6.8. Executive represents that Executive has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement, that Executive has been advised to consult with an attorney and has done so or is otherwise competent to execute this Agreement, that Executive’s agreement to execute this Agreement has not been obtained by any duress and that Executive freely and voluntarily enters into it, and that Executive has read this document in its entirety and fully understands the meaning, intent and consequences of this document.

The above notwithstanding, a disclosure shall not be unauthorized if (i) it is required by law or by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) it is in connection with any judicial or other legal proceeding in which Executive’s legal rights and obligations as an Executive or under this Agreement are at issue; provided, however, that Executive shall, to the extent practicable and lawful in any such events, give prior notice to Employer of his intent to disclose any such confidential business information in such context so as to allow Employer an opportunity (which Executive will not oppose) to obtain such protective orders or similar relief with respect thereto as it may deem appropriate.

 

 
     

 

4.3. All written materials, records, and other documents made by, or coming into the possession of, Executive during the period of Executive’s employment by Employer which contain or disclose confidential business information or trade secrets of Employer, or its affiliates shall be and remain the property of Employer, or its affiliates, as the case may be. Upon termination of Executive’s employment by Employer, for any reason, Executive promptly shall deliver the same, and all copies thereof, to Employer.

 

ARTICLE 5: POST-EMPLOYMENT AND NON-COMPETITION OBLIGATIONS :

 

5.1. As part of the consideration for the compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder, and as an additional incentive for Employer to enter into this Agreement, Employer and Executive agree to the non-competition provisions of this Article 5. Executive agrees that during the period of Executive’s non-competition obligations hereunder (twelve months), Executive will not, directly or indirectly for Executive or for others, in any geographic area or market where Employer or any of their affiliated companies are conducting any business (other than de minimis business operations) as of the date of termination of the employment relationship or have during the previous twelve months conducted any business (other than de minimis business operations):

 

(i) engage in any business directly competitive with any business (other than de minimis business operations) conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates;

 

(ii) render advice or services to, or otherwise assist, any other person, association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any business directly competitive with any business(other than de minimis business operations) conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates; or

 

(iii) induce any Executive of Employer or any of its affiliates (other than Executive’s personal secretary or administrative assistant)to terminate his employment with Employer, or its affiliates, or hire or assist in the hiring of any such induced Executive by any person, association, or entity not affiliated with Employer. These non-competition obligations shall extend until two years after termination of the employment relationship between Employer and Executive. The above notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 5.1 shall prohibit Executive from engaging in or being employed by any entity that engages in the provision of management consulting or other consulting services to third parties, even where such entity on occasion renders advice or services to, or otherwise assists, any other person, association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any business directly competitive with any business conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates, so long as Executive does not personally, directly or indirectly (A) participate in rendering such advice, services or assistance to any such competing person, association or entity, (B) provide any information or other assistance to any other person employed by Executive or by any such consulting entity for use, directly or indirectly, in rendering such assistance to any competing person, association or entity or (C) engage in any conduct which would be violative of the provisions of Article 4 hereof.

 

5.2. Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his ability to engage in certain businesses in any geographic area or market where Employer or any of their affiliated companies are conducting any business (other than de minimis business operations) during the period provided for above, but acknowledges that Executive will receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits under this Agreement to justify such restriction. Executive acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 5 by Executive, and agrees that Employer, on its own behalf or on behalf of any of its affiliates, shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article 5, but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity to Employer, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from Executive and his agents involved in such breach.

 

 
     

 

5.3. It is expressly understood and agreed that Employer and Executive consider the restrictions contained in this Article 5 to be reasonable and necessary to protect the proprietary information and goodwill of Employer and its affiliates. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions therein set forth to be modified by such courts so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified by the court, to be fully enforced.

 

ARTICLE 6: MISCELLANEOUS:

 

6.1. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the terms “affiliates” or “affiliated” means an entity who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Employer or in which Employer has a 50% or more equity interest, and (ii) any action or omission permitted to be taken or omitted by Employer hereunder shall only be taken or omitted by Employer upon the express authority to do so.

 

6.2. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received by or tendered to Executive or Employer, as applicable, by pre-paid courier or by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective Parties at their last known address or electronic mail address if routinely used.

 

6.3. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflict-of-law rule or principle that might refer to the laws of another State or country. Any action or proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement, which cannot be resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Executive and Employer within thirty (30) days from the date that either Party informs the other in writing that such dispute or disagreement exists (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed upon in writing), shall be finally settled by an arbitration conducted in the English language by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Any arbitration instituted under shall be conducted in the AAA offices in the County of New York, in the State of New York. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the Parties and judgment may be entered thereon, upon the application of either Party, by any court having jurisdiction. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in preparing and presenting its case; the cost of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrators, will be shared equally by the Parties, unless the arbitration award provides otherwise.

 

6.4. No failure by either Party hereto at any time to give notice of any breach by the other Party of, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

 

6.5. It is a desire and intent of the Parties that the terms, provisions, covenants, and remedies contained in this Agreement shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any such term, provision, covenant, or remedy of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, association, or entity or circumstances shall, to any extent, be construed to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, then such term, provision, covenant, or remedy shall be construed in a manner so as to permit its enforceability under the applicable law to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any case, the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, association, or entity or circumstances other than those to which they have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect.

 

 
     

 

6.6. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employer and any other person, association, or entity which may hereafter acquire or succeed to all or substantially all of the business or assets of Employer by any means whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise. Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement are personal and such rights, benefits, and obligations of Executive shall not be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated, or transferred, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Employer, other than in the case of death or incompetence of Executive.

 

6.7. This Agreement replaces and merges any previous agreements and discussions pertaining to the subject matter covered herein. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with regard to such subject matter, and contains all of the covenants, promises, representations, warranties, and agreements between the Parties with respect such subject matter. Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representation, inducement, promise, or agreement, oral or written, has been made by either Party with respect to such subject matter, which is not embodied herein, and that no agreement, statement, or promise relating to the employment of Executive by Employer that is not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding. Any modification of this Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by each Party whose rights hereunder are affected thereby, provided that any such modification must be authorized or approved by the Board of Directors of Employer.

 

6.8. Executive represents that Executive has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement, that Executive has been advised to consult with an attorney and has done so or is otherwise competent to execute this Agreement, that Executive’s agreement to execute this Agreement has not been obtained by any duress and that Executive freely and voluntarily enters into it, and that Executive has read this document in its entirety and fully understands the meaning, intent and consequences of this document.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Executive Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective the 25 th day of July, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) by and among Carolco Pictures, Inc. (“Employer”) and Alexander Bafer (“Executive”), an individual (each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS , Employer is desirous of employing Executive pursuant to the terms and conditions and for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, and Executive is desirous of entering the employ of Employer pursuant to such terms and conditions and for such consideration.

 

NOW, THEREFORE , for and in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and obligations contained herein, Employer and Executive agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1: EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES:

 

1.1. Employer agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to be employed by Employer, beginning as of the Effective Date and continuing for one year thereafter (the “Term”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Term shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless either Party provides the other Party with written notice of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current Term.

 

1.2. Upon the Effective Date, Executive shall be employed as Chief Development Officer of Employer. Executive agrees to serve in the assigned position and to perform diligently and to the best of Executive’s abilities the duties and services appertaining to such position as determined by Employer, as well as such additional or different duties and services appropriate to such position which Executive from time to time may be reasonably directed to perform by Employer.

 

1.3. Executive shall, during the period of Executive’s employment by Employer, devote Executive’s full business time, energy, and best efforts to the business and affairs of Employer. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Parties recognize and agree that Executive may engage in passive personal investments and other business activities which do not conflict with the business and affairs of the Employer or interfere with Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder. In that regard, Executive may serve on the board of directors of up to six corporations of his choice, so long as service on any such board simultaneously with his service on Employer’s Board of Directors, if such service is requested, does not constitute a violation of federal statutory provisions, or related rules and regulations, pertaining to interlocking directorships and the meeting times of such boards of directors do not conflict with the meeting times of Employer’s Board of Directors. Executive shall be permitted to retain any compensation received for such service on other corporations’ boards of directors.

 

 
     

 

1.4. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty, fidelity and allegiance to act at all times in the best interests of the Employer and to do no act which would intentionally injure Employer’s business, its interests, or its reputation. It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest in, connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, particularly commercial activities, which interest might in any way adversely affect Employer, or any of its affiliates, involves a possible conflict of interest. In keeping with Executive’s fiduciary duties to Employer, Executive agrees that Executive shall not knowingly become involved in a conflict of interest with Employer, or its affiliates, or upon discovery thereof, allow such a conflict to continue.

 

1.5. Executive shall report to Employer’s Board of Directors from time to time.

 

1.6. Executive may participate in meetings of Employer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as may be permitted by the Board.

 

ARTICLE 2: COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

 

2.1. In accordance with customary compensation practices, Executive will receive $XXXX.00 per month, commencing as of the Effective Date hereof, with any pro rata portion payable on or about the first of the month after the Effective Date, subject to applicable taxes and withholding, for so long as Executive remains employed by Employer or unless or until this Agreement is amended in writing by the Parties.

 

All compensation will be subject to standard payroll withholdings and taxes as required by law.

 

2.2. In addition, Executive will be eligible to receive a bonus, payable in Employer’s sole discretion.

 

2.3. The amount of Executive’s compensation shall be reviewed periodically, and at minimum shall be reviewed annually. It may be increased at the sole discretion of the Board or its Compensation Committee, if any, provided, however, that, consistent with the renewal provisions contained in Article 1.1, supra , such compensation shall, after the initial Term, be placed before the Board or the Compensation Committee, if any, for a requested increase to cover cost of living expenses upon subsequent renewals of this Agreement.

 

2.4. As of the Effective date, to the extent not already done, Employer shall provide Executive with standard benefits ordinarily granted to an executive in Executive’s position and ordinarily associated with the custom and practice of the industry, if any.

 

2.5. From and after the Effective Date, Employer shall pay, or reimburse Executive, for all ordinary, reasonable and necessary expenses which Executive incurs in performing Executive’s duties under this Agreement including, but not limited to, travel, entertainment, professional dues and subscriptions, and all dues, fees and expenses associated with membership in various professional, business and civic associations and societies of which Executive’s participation is in the best interest of Employer.

 

2.6. While employed by Employer, Executive shall be allowed to participate, on the same basis generally as other Executives of Employer, in all general Executive benefit plans and programs, including improvements or modifications of the same, which on the effective date or thereafter are made available by Employer to all or substantially all of Employer’s executive Executives. Such benefits, plans, and programs may include, without limitation, medical, health, and dental care, life insurance, disability protection, and qualified retirement plans. Except as specifically provided herein, nothing in this Agreement is to be construed or interpreted to provide greater rights, participation, coverage, or benefits under such benefit plans or programs than provided to executive Executives pursuant to the terms and conditions of such benefit plans and programs.

 

 
     

 

2.7. Employer shall not by reason of this Article 2 be obligated to institute, maintain, or refrain from changing, amending, or discontinuing, any incentive compensation or Executive benefit program or plan, so long as such actions are similarly applicable to covered Executives generally.

 

2.8. Employer may withhold from any compensation, benefits, or amount payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

 

ARTICLE 3: TERMINATION PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF TERM AND EFFECTS OF SUCH TERMINATION:

 

3.1. Executive’s employment with Employer shall be terminated (i) upon the death of Executive; (ii) for Cause, as defined in Section 3.3; or (iii) upon Executive’s permanent disability (permanent disability being defined as Executive’s physical or mental incapacity to perform his usual duties as an Executive with such condition likely to remain continuously for more than three months, provided, however, that in such event, Executive’s employment shall be continued hereunder for a period of not less than one year from the date of such disability, but not beyond the end of the Term, with Executive’s base salary during such period to be reduced by any Employer-financed disability benefits.

 

3.2. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the death of Executive or permanent disability of Executive (as defined in Section 3.1), all future compensation to which Executive is otherwise entitled and all future benefits for which Executive is eligible shall become due and payable as of the date of termination, except as specifically provided in this Section 3.2. Executive, or his estate in the case of Executive’s death, shall be entitled to Executive’s pro rata salary through the date of such termination and shall be entitled to any individual bonuses or individual incentive compensation not yet paid but due under Employer’s plans but shall not be entitled to any other payments by or on behalf of Employer except for those which may be payable pursuant to the terms of Employer’s Executive benefit plans or by virtue of Executive’s ownership of Employer’s stock which shall remain unaffected by the termination of Executive’s employment.

 

3.3. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time for Cause, which termination shall be effective immediately. Termination for “Cause” shall include termination for:

 

(i) material breach of this Agreement by Executive;

 

(ii) intentional nonperformance or mis-performance of such duties, or refusal to abide by or comply with the reasonable directives of his superior officers, or the Employer’s policies and procedures;

 

(iii) Executive’s negligence in the performance of his material duties under this Agreement;

 

(iv) Executive’s willful dishonesty, fraud or misconduct with respect to the business or affairs of the Employer, that in the reasonable judgment of the Board materially and adversely affects Employer;

 

(v) Executive’s conviction of, or a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; or

 

(vi) the commission of any act in direct or indirect competition with or materially detrimental to the best interests of Employer that is in breach of Executive’s fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and good faith to Employer.

 

 
     

 

“Cause” will not, however, include any actions or circumstances constituting Cause under clause (i) or (ii) above if Executive cures such actions or circumstances within 30 days of receipt of written notice from Employer setting forth the actions or circumstances constituting Cause. In the event Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated for Cause, Executive shall thereafter have no right to receive compensation or other benefits under this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 4: OWNERSHIP AND PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION:

 

4.1. All information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, and inventions, whether patentable or not, which are conceived, made, developed or acquired by Executive, individually or in conjunction with others, during Executive’s employment by Employer (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on Employer’s premises or otherwise) which relate to Employer’s business, products or services (including, without limitation, all such information relating to corporate opportunities, research, financial and sales data, pricing ad trading terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, the identity of key contacts within the customer’s organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names, and marks), and all writings or materials of any type embodying any of such items, shall be disclosed to Employer and are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Employer.

 

4.2. Executive acknowledges that the businesses of Employer and its affiliates are highly competitive and that their strategies, methods, books, records, and documents, their technical information concerning their products, equipment, services, and processes, procurement procedures and pricing techniques, the names of and other information (such as credit and financial data) concerning their customers and business affiliates, all comprise confidential business information and trade secrets which are valuable, special, and unique assets which Employer, or its affiliates use in their business to obtain a competitive advantage over their competitors. Executive further acknowledges that protection of such confidential business information and trade secrets against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to Employer, and its affiliates in maintaining their competitive position. Executive hereby agrees that Executive will not, at any time during or after his employment by Employer, make any unauthorized disclosure of any confidential business information or trade secrets of Employer, or its affiliates, or make any use thereof, except in the carrying out of his employment responsibilities hereunder. The above notwithstanding, a disclosure shall not be unauthorized if (i) it is required by law or by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) it is in connection with any judicial or other legal proceeding in which Executive’s legal rights and obligations as an Executive or under this Agreement are at issue; provided, however, that Executive shall, to the extent practicable and lawful in any such events, give prior notice to Employer of his intent to disclose any such confidential business information in such context so as to allow Employer an opportunity (which Executive will not oppose) to obtain such protective orders or similar relief with respect thereto as it may deem appropriate.

 

 
     

 

4.3. All written materials, records, and other documents made by, or coming into the possession of, Executive during the period of Executive’s employment by Employer which contain or disclose confidential business information or trade secrets of Employer, or its affiliates shall be and remain the property of Employer, or its affiliates, as the case may be. Upon termination of Executive’s employment by Employer, for any reason, Executive promptly shall deliver the same, and all copies thereof, to Employer.

 

ARTICLE 5: POST-EMPLOYMENT AND NON-COMPETITION OBLIGATIONS :

 

5.1. As part of the consideration for the compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder, and as an additional incentive for Employer to enter into this Agreement, Employer and Executive agree to the non-competition provisions of this Article 5. Executive agrees that during the period of Executive’s non-competition obligations hereunder (twelve months), Executive will not, directly or indirectly for Executive or for others, in any geographic area or market where Employer or any of their affiliated companies are conducting any business (other than de minimis business operations) as of the date of termination of the employment relationship or have during the previous twelve months conducted any business (other than de minimis business operations):

 

(i) engage in any business directly competitive with any business (other than de minimis business operations) conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates;

 

(ii) render advice or services to, or otherwise assist, any other person, association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any business directly competitive with any business(other than de minimis business operations) conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates; or

 

 
     

 

(iii) induce any Executive of Employer or any of its affiliates (other than Executive’s personal secretary or administrative assistant)to terminate his employment with Employer, or its affiliates, or hire or assist in the hiring of any such induced Executive by any person, association, or entity not affiliated with Employer. These non-competition obligations shall extend until two years after termination of the employment relationship between Employer and Executive. The above notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 5.1 shall prohibit Executive from engaging in or being employed by any entity that engages in the provision of management consulting or other consulting services to third parties, even where such entity on occasion renders advice or services to, or otherwise assists, any other person, association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any business directly competitive with any business conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates, so long as Executive does not personally, directly or indirectly (A) participate in rendering such advice, services or assistance to any such competing person, association or entity, (B) provide any information or other assistance to any other person employed by Executive or by any such consulting entity for use, directly or indirectly, in rendering such assistance to any competing person, association or entity or (C) engage in any conduct which would be violative of the provisions of Article 4 hereof.

 

5.2. Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his ability to engage in certain businesses in any geographic area or market where Employer or any of their affiliated companies are conducting any business (other than de minimis business operations) during the period provided for above, but acknowledges that Executive will receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits under this Agreement to justify such restriction. Executive acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 5 by Executive, and agrees that Employer, on its own behalf or on behalf of any of its affiliates, shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article 5, but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity to Employer, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from Executive and his agents involved in such breach.

 

5.3. It is expressly understood and agreed that Employer and Executive consider the restrictions contained in this Article 5 to be reasonable and necessary to protect the proprietary information and goodwill of Employer and its affiliates. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions therein set forth to be modified by such courts so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified by the court, to be fully enforced.

 

ARTICLE 6: MISCELLANEOUS:

 

6.1. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the terms “affiliates” or “affiliated” means an entity who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Employer or in which Employer has a 50% or more equity interest, and (ii) any action or omission permitted to be taken or omitted by Employer hereunder shall only be taken or omitted by Employer upon the express authority to do so.

 

6.2. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received by or tendered to Executive or Employer, as applicable, by pre-paid courier or by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective Parties at their last known address or electronic mail address if routinely used.

 

6.3. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflict-of-law rule or principle that might refer to the laws of another State or country. Any action or proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement, which cannot be resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Executive and Employer within thirty (30) days from the date that either Party informs the other in writing that such dispute or disagreement exists (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed upon in writing), shall be finally settled by an arbitration conducted in the English language by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Any arbitration instituted under shall be conducted in the AAA offices in the County of New York, in the State of New York. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the Parties and judgment may be entered thereon, upon the application of either Party, by any court having jurisdiction. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in preparing and presenting its case; the cost of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrators, will be shared equally by the Parties, unless the arbitration award provides otherwise.

 

 
     

 

6.4. No failure by either Party hereto at any time to give notice of any breach by the other Party of, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

 

6.5. It is a desire and intent of the Parties that the terms, provisions, covenants, and remedies contained in this Agreement shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any such term, provision, covenant, or remedy of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, association, or entity or circumstances shall, to any extent, be construed to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, then such term, provision, covenant, or remedy shall be construed in a manner so as to permit its enforceability under the applicable law to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any case, the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, association, or entity or circumstances other than those to which they have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect.

 

6.6. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employer and any other person, association, or entity which may hereafter acquire or succeed to all or substantially all of the business or assets of Employer by any means whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise. Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement are personal and such rights, benefits, and obligations of Executive shall not be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated, or transferred, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Employer, other than in the case of death or incompetence of Executive.

 

6.7. This Agreement replaces and merges any previous agreements and discussions pertaining to the subject matter covered herein. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with regard to such subject matter, and contains all of the covenants, promises, representations, warranties, and agreements between the Parties with respect such subject matter. Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representation, inducement, promise, or agreement, oral or written, has been made by either Party with respect to such subject matter, which is not embodied herein, and that no agreement, statement, or promise relating to the employment of Executive by Employer that is not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding. Any modification of this Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by each Party whose rights hereunder are affected thereby, provided that any such modification must be authorized or approved by the Board of Directors of Employer.

 

6.8. Executive represents that Executive has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement, that Executive has been advised to consult with an attorney and has done so or is otherwise competent to execute this Agreement, that Executive’s agreement to execute this Agreement has not been obtained by any duress and that Executive freely and voluntarily enters into it, and that Executive has read this document in its entirety and fully understands the meaning, intent and consequences of this document.

(a) Director agrees that all property, including, without limitation, all equipment, tangible proprietary information, documents, records, notes, contracts, and computer-generated materials provided to or prepared by Director incident to his services belong to Company and shall be promptly returned at the request of Company.

 

(b) Upon termination of this Agreement, Director shall be deemed to have resigned from all offices then held with Company by virtue of his position as Chairman, except that Director shall continue to serve as a director if elected as a director by the shareholders of Company as provided in Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, Company’s bylaws, as amended, and applicable law. Director agrees that following any termination of this Agreement, he shall cooperate with Company in the winding up or transferring to other directors of any pending work and shall also cooperate with Company (to the extent allowed by law, and at Company’s expense) in the defense of any action brought by any third party against Company that relates to the Services.

 

6. Nondisclosure Obligations. Director shall maintain in confidence and shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or use, either during or after the term of this Agreement, any Proprietary Information (as defined below), confidential information, or trade secrets belonging to Company, whether or not it is in written or permanent form, except to the extent necessary to perform the Services, as required by a lawful government order or subpoena, or as authorized in writing by Company. These nondisclosure obligations also apply to Proprietary Information belonging to customers and suppliers of Company, and other third parties, learned by Director as a result of performing the Services. “Proprietary Information” means all information pertaining in any manner to the business of Company, unless (i) the information is or becomes publicly known through lawful means; (ii) the information was part of Director’s general knowledge prior to his relationship with Company; or (iii) the information is disclosed to Director without restriction by a third party who rightfully possesses the information and did not learn of it from Company.

 

 
     

 

7. Dispute Resolution.

 

(a) Jurisdiction and Venue. The parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding between Director (and his attorneys, successors, and assigns) and Company (and its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, members, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns) relating to the Services or the termination of those Services shall be brought in either the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida or in a Florida state court in the County of Broward and that the parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection the party may have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court. If any one or more provisions of this Section shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable.

 

(b) Attorneys’ Fees. Should any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding be commenced between the parties concerning the rights or obligations of the parties under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such proceeding shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable sum as and for its attorneys’ fees in such proceeding. This amount shall be determined by the court in such proceeding or in a separate action brought for that purpose. In addition to any amount received as attorneys’ fees, the prevailing party also shall be entitled to receive from the party held to be liable, an amount equal to the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing any judgment against such party. This Section is severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and survives any judgment and is not deemed merged into any judgment.

 

8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended to be the final, complete, and exclusive statement of the terms of Director’s relationship solely with respect to his position as Chairman with Company. This Agreement entirely supercedes and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous statements or agreements pertaining to Director’s relationship as Chairman or Director. Agreements related to Director’s ownership of the Securities are not affected by this Agreement.

 

9. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by a writing signed by Director and by a duly authorized representative of the Company other than Director. Failure to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

 

10. Assignment. Director agrees that Director will not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement, with the exception of Director’s ability to assign rights with respect to the Securities. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the consolidation, merger or sale of Company or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

 

 
     

 

11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court or arbitrator to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, such provision shall be enforced to fullest extent permitted by law, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that the time period or scope of any provision is declared by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period or scope that such court or arbitrator deems enforceable, then such court or arbitrator shall reduce the time period or scope to the maximum time period or scope permitted by law.

 

12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

 

13. Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not in favor of or against any party. Captions are used for reference purposes only and should be ignored in the interpretation of the Agreement.

Each party represents and warrants to the other that the person(s) signing this Agreement below has authority to bind the party to this Agreement and that this Agreement will legally bind both Company and Director. This Agreement will be binding upon and benefit the parties and their heirs, administrators, executors, successors and permitted assigns. To the extent that the practices, policies, or procedures of Company, now or in the future, are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
