THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Amendment"), is entered into on December 24, 2015 ("Effective Date"), by and between CANNASYS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and MICHAEL TEW ("Executive").
Premises
A. On July 10, 2015, and October 15, 2015, the Company issued restricted stock grants to Executive in connection with his Employment Agreement effective July 1, 2015.
B. The terms of the stock grants provided for quarterly vesting of the shares over a 10-quarter period. As of December 1, 2015, 250,000 shares of restricted common stock were issued to Executive under his stock grants.
C. Executive has asked the Company to terminate his restricted stock grants, cancel the shares that have been issued to him under the stock grants, and amend his employment agreement to provide for the cancellation of the stock grants and the issuance of a fully vested warrant for the purchase of 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in place of the two stock grants. In addition, Executive has asked to be issued a new warrant exercisable into 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock vesting in equal amounts in a six-quarter period (250,000 vested common shares per quarter).
Agreement
