WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company wishes to secure the services of the Executive subject to the contractual terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to enter into this Agreement upon the terms and conditions, set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, material inducements and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to accept such employment with the Company, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
2. Term of Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Executive shall be employed for a term commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the 12th month from the Effective Date (the "Initial Term") unless sooner terminated as provided for herein. The Initial Term shall renew automatically for additional one (1) year periods (each a "Renewal Term" and together with the Initial Term, the "Term"), unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal (a "Non-Renewal Notice") at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then current Term, in which case this Agreement shall expire at the end of such Term ("Expiration"). As used herein, an Expiration due to the Company's issuance of a Non-Renewal Notice is referred to as a "Company Non-Renewal" and an Expiration due to the Executive's issuance of a Non-Renewal Notice is referred to as an "Executive Non-Renewal."
3. Duties and Responsibilities.
A. Capacity. During the Term, the Executive shall serve in the capacity of President of Sibannac Media subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") under the job description attached hereto as Schedule 3A.
B. Full-Time Duties. During the Term, and excluding any periods of disability, vacation or sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive shall devote a significant portion of his/her business time, attention and energies to the business of the Company. During the Term, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (i) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees; (ii) deliver lectures or fulfill speaking engagements; (iii) manage personal investments, and (iv) perform other consulting services or engage in other independent outside activities, so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of the Executive's responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with
this Agreement. If the Company ever determines that any outside activity of the Executive interferes or conflicts with his performance under this Agreement, the Company shall provide at least thirty (30) days written notice of such determination and a reasonable time to cure or resolve such perceived conflicts. With regard to any outside consulting or independent activities by the Executive, the Company hereby waives and releases, and agrees not to assert, any right, title or interest in or to any work product of the Executive or of others involved in such outside activities.
C. Standard of Performance. The Executive will perform his duties under this Agreement with efficiency, fidelity and loyalty, to the best of his or her ability, experience and talent and in a manner consistent with his duties and responsibilities.
4. Compensation
A. Base Salary. During the first twelve months of the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive a salary (the "Base Salary") of $8,333.33 per month, pro-rated for any partial months of employment. The Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the general payroll practices of the Company in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the earlier of (i) the Company's closing of additional financing in the aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000, whether debt or equity or any combination thereof, or (ii) in any event not later than the second renewal date, the Board of Directors shall increase the Executive's Base Salary to $10;000 per month. During the Term, the Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually by the Board after consultation with the Executive and may from time to time be increased (but not decreased) as solely determined by the Board. Effective as of the date of any such increase, the Base Salary as so increased shall be considered the new Base Salary for all purposes of the Agreement and may not thereafter be reduced. Any increase in Base Salary shall not limit or reduce any other obligation of the Company to the Executive under this Agreement.
B. Annual Performance Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible for annual discretionary bonus awards payable in cash and/or fully-vested options for common stock of the Company ("Bonus Options"), as so determined solely by the Board, based on performance objectives determined annually or at other times by the Board or pursuant to any Incentive Stock and Option Award Plan. Since the Bonus Options will have been fully earned by the performance of services for which they were granted, the exercise price of such Options shall be as low as possible consistent with the non-taxability of options.
C. Long Term Incentives. The Executive shall be eligible for participation in the Employee Stock Option Plan, restricted stock and/or other long-term incentives in the discretion of the Board on the same basis as other similarly situated senior executives of the Company. In addition, in the event the Company pursues additional rounds of equity financing during the Term, the Executive shall be offered the option to purchase, at the price offered in such financing, a sufficient additional equity interest such that if the Executive exercises this purchase option, the Executive will maintain his proportionate ownership interest in the Company.

The Executive further acknowledges that his or her fulfillment of the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Executive's obligation neither to disclose nor to use the Company's Confidential Information other than for the Company's exclusive benefit is necessary to protect the Company's Confidential Information and, consequently, to preserve the value and goodwill of the Company. The Executive further acknowledges the time, geographic and scope limitations of the Executive's obligations under subsection (1) above are reasonable, especially in light of the Company's desire to protect its Confidential Information, and that Executive will not be precluded from gainful employment if the Executive is obligated not to compete with the Company during the period and within the Territory as described above.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Employment Agreement. Final
(3) If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of the provisions of subsection D(1) (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary permit the remaining provisions hereof (or proportions thereof) to be enforced.
