3.4.

Incremental Company Value Increase Bonus. A "Fair Value" appraisal valuation of the Company at Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,500,000) was completed with a valuation date of March 31, 2008 on behalf of Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. by Valuation & Tacservices, LLC. This amount is accepted as the base value of the Company for purposes of this Agreement. At the date of termination of this contract, whether by passage of time or by death, disability, or voluntary or involuntary termination, Employee shall be entitled to a bonus, payable in cash, equal to five percent (5%) of the increase in appraised value of the Company over an initial base valuation of which is equal to the March 31, 2008 appraised value of $9,500,000 less the $742,380 United Heritage debt allocated to the Company and Capital Financial Holding, Inc., which is the allocation of debt which was utilized for purposes of the amended proxy filed September 23, 2008 by Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. (the "base valuation") and a contract termination date valuation of the Company mutually determined and agreed by Employee and the Company or if no such mutual determination is made or agreed within 30 days of termination of this Agreement, then a valuation as determined by the "Fair Value" appraisal valuation of the Company which shall be determined by a utilizing a composite of the One-Year Capitalization Method which utilizes estimated one year cash flow divided by an adjusted discount rate and the Discounted Cash Flow Method which utilizes three future years and a perpetuity estimate (terminal period) divided by an adjusted discount rate ("Fair Value") and which amount will then further include a reduction in the Fair Value valuation for the capitalized costs of each acquisition made by the Company after the date of this employment contract as evidenced by such capitalized costs included in the Balance Sheet of the Company (the "Termination Valuation"). Said valuation will be performed at the Company's cost by an independent, qualified Valuation Consultant to be mutually agreed by the Company and the Employee, as of the date of Employee's termination or the termination of this contract. To clarify, the Termination Valuation shall include a reduction in the "Fair Value" appraisal amount for the capitalized cost (on the Company's accounting records) of acquisitions made in the expansion of the Company after the date of this agreement. For example, with the base valuation of $8,757,620, if a Fair Value valuation at the termination of this contract was determined to be $12,000,000, and two acquisitions occurred with combined capitalized costs on the accounting books of the Company of $2,000,000, then Employee would be entitled to a bonus in cash of $62,119 ($12,000,000 Fair Value—$2,000,000 capitalized acquisition costs -8,757,620 base valuation * 5%). For avoidance of doubt, upon termination of Employee for any reason other than financial fraud, or upon the expiration date of this contract, which expiration date would include the potential five-year renewal, Employee is entitled to the appraisal valuation and the bonus described herein. So as not to impair the financial health of the Company, the maximum payout of this bonus in any one year is limited to .75% of the previous year's gross revenues.

 

 

 

 

 

In the event that the parties mutually agree to renew this contract for an additional two-year term, the provisions and benefits of the above paragraph shall continue to the end of the two-year renewal period. In the event that the Company elects not to renew this contract, Employee shall be immediately entitled to the benefits described in the above paragraph upon termination of employment. In the event that the Employee elects not to renew this contract, and agrees not to compete with the Company for a period of one year after termination of this contract, Employee shall be immediately entitled to the benefits described in the above paragraph upon termination of employment. In the event that the Employee elects not to renew this contract, and elects not to execute an agreement not to compete with the Company for a period of one year after termination of this contract, Employee will not be entitled to the benefits described in the above paragraph upon termination of employment. Competition with the Company for purposes of this paragraph shall mean: (1) employment with, ownership of (other than less than 5% of a publicly traded entity) acting as a principal, manager, or officer of, or otherwise acting in a management or principal capacity of, a FINRA member broker dealer and/or (2) soliciting employees or registered representatives of the Company to work for another FINRA member broker dealer.

 

 

 

 

 

Alternatively, if the Company is sold, resulting in the termination of Employee, Employee shall be entitled to a bonus, payable in cash, equal to five percent (5%) of the difference between the actual unrelated willing buyer/willing seller market sale price of the Company and the base value of $8,757,620. If the sale is other than an unrelated willing buyer/willing seller market sale price, the bonus shall be based upon the independent appraisal method described above.

 

 

 

 

 

The parties agree that the amount of the potential bonus (if any) to Employee as described in this paragraph is a contingency, the amount of which is unknown and cannot be reasonably determined or estimated in advance of it final determination.

 

 

 

 

 

In the event that the Company is the subject of a spin-off from Parent and becomes a subsidiary of another holding entity, the valuation and bonus described in this Section 3.4 shall be based upon the valuation of the entire value of the holding entity of which the Company is a subsidiary.
