(a) In the course of Employee's employment by the Company, Employee will have access to and possession of valuable and important confidential or proprietary data or information of the Company and/or persons or entities (each, an “Affiliate”) controlling, controlled by or under common control of the Company and their respective operations. Employee will not, during Employee's employment by the Company or at any time thereafter, divulge or communicate to any person, nor shall Employee direct any other employee, representative or agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates to divulge or communicate to any person or entity (other than to a person or entity bound by confidentiality obligations similar to those contained herein and other than as necessary in performing Employee’s duties hereunder) or use to the detriment of the Company, or any of its Affiliates or for the benefit of any other person or entity, including, without limitation, any competitor, supplier, licensor, licensee or customer of the Company, any of its Affiliates, any of such confidential or proprietary data or information or make or remove any copies thereof, whether or not marked or otherwise identified as “confidential” or “secret.” Employee shall take all reasonable precautions in handling the confidential or proprietary data or information within the Company to a strict need-to-know basis and shall comply with any and all security systems and measures adopted from time to time by the Company to protect the confidentiality of confidential or proprietary data or information.

(b) The term "confidential or proprietary data or information" as used in this Agreement shall mean information not generally available to the public, including, without limitation, all customer information, database information, personnel information, financial information, account lists or other account information, names, telephone numbers or addresses, supplier or vendor lists, trade secrets, patented or other proprietary information, forms, information regarding operations, systems, methods, processes, financing, services, strains, genetics, cultivation techniques or processes, manufacturing, processing, extraction, distribution, storage, transportation, know how, computer and any other processed or collated data, computer programs, pricing, marketing and advertising data.

Employee agrees that all such Intellectual Property shall be the sole property of the Company and shall be "work made for hire" as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101. Employee hereby assigns all of Employee’s right, title and interest to the Intellectual Property to the Company. Employee further agrees that Employee, without charge, will execute such instruments and perform such acts as may reasonably be requested by the Company to transfer to and perfect in the Company all legally protectable rights in such Intellectual Property. To the extent any moral rights or other Intellectual Property rights are not legally transferable to the Company, Employee hereby waives and agrees to never assert any such rights against the Company or any of its Affiliates, even after termination of employment with the Company.

(d) All written materials, books, records and documents made by Employee or coming into Employee’s possession during Employee’s employment by the Company concerning any products, processes or systems used, developed, investigated, purchased, sold or considered by the Company or any of its Affiliates or otherwise concerning the Business or affairs of the Company or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, any files, customer records such as names, telephone numbers, addresses and e-mail addresses, lists, firm records, brochures and literature, shall be the sole property of the Company, shall not be removed from the Company’s premises or transmitted to third parties by Employee, and upon termination of Employee’s employment by the Company, or upon request of the Company during Employee’s employment by the Company, Employee shall promptly deliver the same to the Company. In addition, upon termination of Employee’s employment by the Company, Employee will deliver to the Company all other Company property in Employee’s possession or under Employee’s control, including, but not limited to, financial statements, marketing and sales data, customer and supplier lists and information, account lists and other account information, database information, plans, designs and other documents, and Employee shall not retain any electronically stored versions of the same.

(e) During the Term of this Agreement, Employee shall comply in all respects with all applicable federal and state securities laws, including without limitation with respect to insider trading, and all policies and codes of conduct or ethics of the Company and its Affiliates with respect thereto.

7. Non-Competition.

(a) During the Term of this Agreement and one (1) year thereafter (except in the event that Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated without “cause”) (the "Restricted Period"), Employee shall not, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, (i) become associated with, render services to, invest in, represent, advise or otherwise participate in as an officer, employee, director, stockholder, partner, member, promoter, agent of, consultant for or otherwise, any business which is conducted anyone in world and which is competitive with the Business conducted by the Company; or (ii) for Employee’s own account or for the account of any other person or entity (A) interfere with the Company’s relationship with any of its suppliers, customers, accounts, brokers, representatives or agents or (B) solicit or transact any business with any customer, account or supplier of the Company who or which transacts, has transacted or proposes to transact business with the Company at any time during the Term of this Agreement; or (iii) employ or otherwise engage, or solicit, entice or induce on behalf of Employee or any other person or entity, the services, retention or employment of any person who has been an employee, principal, partner, stockholder, sales representative, trainee, consultant to or agent of the Company within one year of the date of such offer or solicitation. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Section 7, (1) this Section 7 shall not prohibit Employee from purchasing or owning up to five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of a company which has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended and (2) to the extent not inconsistent with Employee’s obligations under this Agreement, Employee may engage in charitable or civic activities and make passive investments which are non-competitive and non-conflicting with the Company’s Business.

(b) If any one or more of the restrictions contained in this Section 7 shall for any reason be held to be unreasonable with regard to time, duration, geographic scope or activity, the parties contemplate and hereby agree that such restriction shall be modified and shall be enforced to the full extent compatible with applicable law. The parties hereto intend that the covenants contained in this Section 7 shall be deemed a series of separate covenants for each country, state, county and city. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all the separate covenants deemed included in this Section 7 because, taken together, they cover too extensive a geographic area, the parties intend that those of such covenants (taken in order of the cities, counties, states and countries therein which are least populous) which if eliminated would permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceeding shall, for the purpose of such proceeding, be deemed eliminated from the provisions of this Section 7.

8. Remedies. Employee acknowledges that the covenants contained in Sections 6 and 7 are fair and reasonable in order to protect the Company’s Business and were a material and necessary inducement for the Company to agree to the terms of this Agreement and to the employment of Employee by the Company. Employee further acknowledges that any remedy at law for any breach or threatened or attempted breach of the covenants contained in Sections 6 and 7 may be inadequate and that the violation of any of the covenants contained in Sections 6 and 7 will cause irreparable and continuing damage to the Company. Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance or any other mode of injunctive and/or other equitable relief to enforce its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, an order restraining any further violation of such covenants, or any other relief a court might award, without the necessity of showing any actual damage or irreparable harm or the posting of any bond or furnishing of other security, and that such injunctive relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled. The covenants in Sections 6 and 7 shall run in favor of the Company and its Affiliates, successors and assigns. The provisions of Sections 6 and 7 and this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9. Termination.

(a) The Company may terminate Employee’s services hereunder "for cause" by delivering to Employee not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the termination is to be effective, a written notice of termination for cause specifying the act, acts or failure to act that constitute the cause. For the purposes of this agreement, “for cause” shall mean: (i) any act of material fraud or embezzlement adversely affecting the financial, market, reputation or other interests of the Company, (ii) in the event of a conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Employee for any felony or other serious crime or crime involving moral turpitude, or any knowing violation of any federal or state banking, securities or tax law or regulation, (iii) any refusal to perform or willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection with Employee’s duties hereunder, if such refusal or willful misconduct or gross negligence is not cured within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof, or (iv) any material breach by Employee of this Agreement if such material breach is not cured within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof.

(b) The Company may also terminate Employee’s services: (i) in the event that Employee dies or the Company places Employee on disability status pursuant to Section 5 hereof, or (ii) upon a determination by the Board, in its reasonable discretion, within nine (9) months after the date hereof, that Employee has failed to achieve his performance goals as set forth in Exhibit B hereto within the first six (6) months after the date hereof (the “Threshold Obligation”).

(c) In the event that (i) the Company terminates Employee’s employment hereunder "for cause" as set forth in Section 9(a), (ii) the Company terminates Employee’s employment pursuant to Section 9(b), or (iii) Employee voluntarily terminates Employee’s employment by the Company, the Company shall pay to Employee any unpaid compensation payable pursuant to Section 3 hereof, which payment (y) shall include all compensation earned up until and including the date on which the termination is effective and (z) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the termination date, and no other compensation shall be payable to Employee.

(d) If the Company terminates Employee’s employment hereunder for any reason other than "for cause" as set forth in Section 9(a) or pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, the Company shall pay to Employee compensation payable pursuant to Section 3 hereof for the lesser of (y) six (6) months, or (z) the remaining Term of this Agreement. Employee and the Company acknowledge that the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(d) are reasonable and are based upon the facts and circumstances of the parties at the time of entering into this Agreement, and with due regard to future expectations.

10. Representations and Warranties of Employee. Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company, and acknowledges that such representations and warranties are material inducements to the Company entering into this Agreement, as follows:

(a) Employee has the legal capacity to execute and deliver, and has duly executed and delivered, this Agreement.

(b) Employee is not subject to any restrictive covenant or confidentiality obligations to any former employer or contractor of Employee; and the obligations and duties undertaken by Employee hereunder, will not conflict with, constitute a breach of or otherwise violate the terms of any other agreement to which Employee is a party. Employee is not required to obtain the consent of any person, firm, corporation or other entity in order to enter into and perform Employee’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c) As of the date hereof, Employee does not have any ownership interest in and is not employed by any company or entity (other than the Company) which is engaged in the Business.

(d) to the knowledge of Employee, Employee is not the subject of any grand jury, prosecutorial, legislative, administrative or other investigation or inquiry by any governmental agency or authority.

(b) The Company further covenants and agrees that if any Units to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of Units upon the exercise of this Warrant require registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such Units may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will promptly use its best efforts to effect such registration or obtain such approval, as the case may be.

The Exercise Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of the events enumerated in this Section 3.

(a) Distributions, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Date:

(i) pay or make a distribution in Units or other securities of the Company to holders of all its outstanding Units;

(ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding Units into a greater number of Units;

(iii) combine the outstanding Units into a smaller number of Units; or

(iv) issue by reclassification of its Units other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation),

then the number and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Units or other securities of the Company which the Warrantholder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had this Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the earlier of the happening of such event or any record date in respect thereto. In the event of any adjustment of the number of Units or other securities of the Company purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Paragraph 3(a), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be the amount resulting from dividing the number of Units (including fractional Units) covered by this Warrant immediately after such adjustment into the total amount payable upon exercise of this Warrant in full immediately prior to such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this Paragraph 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date for any such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(b) Extraordinary Dividends. In case the Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Date fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options, or warrants to all holders of its outstanding Units, entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Units (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Units) at a price per Unit (or having an exchange or conversion price per Unit, with respect to a security exchangeable for or convertible into Units) which is lower than the current Exercise Price per Unit (as defined in Paragraph 3(d) below) on such record date, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of Units outstanding on such record date plus the number of Units which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Units so to be offered (or the aggregate initial exchange or conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at such current Exercise Price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of Units outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Units to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered are initially exchangeable or convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; however, to the extent that Units (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Units) are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted (but only with respect to any portion of this Warrant exercised after such expiration) to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of Units (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Units) actually issued. In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be described in a statement mailed to the Warrantholder. Units owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

(c) Extraordinary Distributions. In case the Company shall at any time after the original date of issuance of this Warrant distribute to all holders of its Units (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends and distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus in accordance with New York law and dividends or distributions payable in Units of stock described in Paragraph 3(a) above) or rights, options, or warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Units (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Units), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the current Exercise Price per Unit of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed or of such rights, options or warrants applicable to one Unit and (ii) the denominator shall be such current Exercise Price per Unit. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for such transaction.

(d) Minimum Adjustment. Except as hereinafter provided, no adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a change of the Exercise Price then in effect of less than one dollar ($ 1.00) per unit. Any adjustment of less than one dollar ($1.00) per unit of any Exercise Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, amounts to one dollar ($1.00) per unit or more. However, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall make all necessary adjustments (to the nearest cent) not theretofore made to the Exercise Price up to and including the effective date upon which this Warrant is exercised.

(e) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), by first class mail postage prepaid to each Warrantholder.

(f) Capital Reorganizations and Other Reclassifications. In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the Units (other than a reclassification, subdivision or combination of Units referred to in Paragraph 3(a)), this Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of Units, consolidation, merger, or sale, be immediately exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant, for the kind, amount and number of Units or other securities, assets, or cash to which a holder of the number of Units purchasable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of Units, consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of Units, consolidation, merger, or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly equivalent as possible, to any Units or other securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation or entity purchasing such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such Units, securities, assets, or cash as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations hereunder. The subdivision or combination of Units at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of Units shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the Units for purposes of this Paragraph 3(f).

(g) Adjustments to Other Securities. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any Units or securities of the Company other than the Units, thereafter the number of such other Units or securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the exercise price for such Units or securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as possible to the provisions with respect to the Units contained in Paragraphs 3(a) through (d), inclusive.

(h) Deferral of Issuance of Additional Units in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which this Section 3 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the Warrantholder exercised after such record date the Units, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Units, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver as soon as practicable to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument provided by the Company evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional Units upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

(i) Initial Investment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Units for which this Warrant shall be exercisable and the Exercise Price shall not adjusted in connection with the initial investment of up to $500,000 by or on behalf of the member of the Company.

4. Replacement of Securities. If this Warrant shall be lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the Company may in its discretion reasonably impose, issue a new warrant of like tenor or date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of Units which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder. Any such new warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

5. Registration. This Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a register (the “Warrant Register”) maintained at the Company Offices as they are issued. The Warrant Register shall list the name, address and Social Security or other Federal Identification Number, if any, of all warrantholders. The Company shall be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as set forth in the Warrant Register as the owner in fact of this Warrant as set forth therein for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in this Warrant on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of this Warrant that is registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.

6. Transfer. NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THIS WARRANT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED, AND ANY UNITS OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT ARE REQUIRED TO BE ACQUIRED, FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THIS WARRANT AND/OR SUCH UNITS OR OTHER SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS WARRANT AND SUCH UNITS OR OTHER SECURITIES TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

7. Exchange of Warrant. This Warrant may be exchanged for another warrant entitling the Warrantholder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Units as this Warrant entitles such Warrantholder to purchase. A Warrantholder desiring to so exchange this Warrant shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender this Warrant therewith. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new warrant or warrants, as the case may be, as so requested.

8. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or electronic mail or otherwise delivered by hand, messenger or courier service addressed:
