EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into as of the 1 st day of February, 2017 (the “ Effective Date ”), by and between U-Vend, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and David Graber, an individual (the “ Employee ”). 

 

1. Employment Period . The Company hereby agrees to employ the Employee as its Chief Executive Officer, and the Employee, in such capacity, agrees to provide services to the Company for the term beginning on the Effective Date (the “ Commencement Date ”) and ending on January 31, 2019 , unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the “ Initial Term ”). 

 

This Agreement shall be extended for additional one year terms (each such term, a “ Renewal Term ”)], unless either the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) or the Employee objects to such extension by delivering written notice to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the applicable Renewal Term. Such notice, if given by either party and not withdrawn prior to the end of the applicable year, shall be deemed a termination of Employee’s employment by the party who delivered such notice under this Agreement. The Initial Term and each Renewal Term shall be collectively referred to herein as the “ Employment Period ”. 

 

2. Performance of Duties . The Employee agrees that during the Employment Period, while he is employed by the Company, he shall devote 100% of his full working time, energies and talents performing the duties assigned to him by the Board faithfully, efficiently and in a professional manner. It is understood by the employee that he may not enter the company into any and all material contractual obligations without pre-approval by the Board of Directors. During the Employment Period, the Employee may not engage, undertake or be interested in (whether directly or indirectly) any other employment, business or occupation or become a director or employee or agent or consultant or partner of any other person, officer or company which either individually or in the aggregate would violate the immediately preceding sentence without the prior written consent of the Board. 

 

3. Compensation . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Employment Period, the Employee shall be compensated by the Company for his services as follows:

 

(a) He shall receive, for the Initial Term and each Renewal Term, if any, a rate of salary that is not less than $22,000 (USD) Dollars per month (the “ Salary ”), payable monthly and subject to normal and customary tax withholding and other deductions, all on a basis consistent with the Company’s normal payroll procedures and policies. During (i) the thirty (30) day period prior to the expiration of each successive twelve (12) month period during the Initial Term, and (ii) the thirty (30) day period prior to the commencement of any Renewal Term, the Employee’s salary rate shall be reviewed by the Board to determine whether an increase in his rate of compensation is appropriate, which determination shall be within the sole discretion of the Board.

 

(b) Any employee bonus will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and based on financial performance of the company in conjunction with the performance of the common stock price among other factors deemed reasonable and applicable by the Board of Directors.

 

  (c) He shall be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable business, promotional, travel and entertainment expenses which are pre-approved by the Chairman of the Board and or full Board of Directors and subsequently incurred or paid by him during the employment period in the performance of his services under this Agreement that are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time, provided that the Employee furnishes to the Company appropriate documentation in a timely fashion required by the Internal Revenue Code in connection with such expenses and shall furnish such other documentation and accounting as the Company may from time to time reasonably request.

 

 (d) He shall be entitled to all scheduled holidays of the Company, and a minimum of twenty (20) days of paid vacation per year (subject to increase in the sole discretion of the Board and subject to Company policy).

 

  (e) He shall be eligible to participate in the benefits made generally available by the Company to the Employee management team, in accordance with the benefit plans established by the Company, and as may be amended from time to time in the Company’s sole discretion. It is understood by the employee that all benefits are pre-approved by the Board of Directors.

  

4. Termination . The Employee’s employment hereunder may be terminated prior to the expiration of the Employment Period under the following circumstances:

  

(a) Death . The Employee’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

  

(b) Total Disability . The Company may terminate Employee’s employment upon the Employee becoming “Totally Disabled.” For purposes of this Agreement, “ Totally Disabled ” means any physical or mental ailment or incapacity as determined by a licensed physician in good standing, which has prevented, or is reasonably expected (as determined by a licensed physician in good standing) to prevent, the Employee from performing the duties incident to the Employee’s employment hereunder which has continued for a period of either (A) one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days or (B) two hundred ten (210) total days in any twelve (12) month period; provided , however , that the Employee receives at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to such termination.

(ii) the refusal or failure by the Employee to carry out specific reasonable directions of the Board, which are of a material nature and consistent with the Employee’s position;

(iii) the refusal or failure by the Employee to satisfactorily perform the duties reasonably required of him by the Company in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Company;

(iv) in any calendar year where the gross revenue of the Company reported on a GAAP basis has not exceeded $2,000,000;

(vi) the Employee’s material breach of a written policy of the Company;

(e) Voluntary Termination by the Employee other than for Good Reason . The Employee may terminate his employment hereunder at any time by providing written notice to the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to his voluntary termination of employment.

  

(f) Notice of Termination . Any termination by the Company or by the Employee under this Agreement shall be communicated by written notice to the other party.
