The Company feels this Agreement is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders"), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 2. CONFLICT OF INTEREST GUIDELINES. I agree to diligently adhere to all policies of the Company including the Company's insider's trading policies and the Conflict of Interest Guidelines, which may be revised from time to time during the Term. 3. CAPACITY AND DUTIES 3.1 Officer has been and shall continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and shall report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD OF DIRECTORS"). 3.2 Subject to the direction and control of the Board of Directors, Officer shall have the full authority and responsibility to operate and manage, on a day to day basis, the business and affairs of the Company, and shall perform such other duties and responsibilities as are prescribed by the Bylaws of the Company and which are customarily vested in the office of the chief executive officer of a corporation. 3.3 Officer shall devote his business time, energy and efforts faithfully and diligently to promote the Company's interests. Page 1 3.4 Except for routine travel incident to the business of the Company, Officer shall perform his duties and obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement principally from an office provided by the Company in Los Angeles, California or the surrounding area. 4. TERM This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall govern the Officer's employment from and after such date. This Agreement shall be in full force and effect for a period of five (5) years, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or extended by an amendment executed by the Company and the Officer (the "TERM"). 5. COMPENSATION 5.1 BASE SALARY. 5.1.1 As compensation for services rendered under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Officer a base salary (the "BASE SALARY") computed in accordance with Section 5.1.2 below during the Term, payable in accordance with the normal payroll procedures of the Company. 5.1.2 During the Term, Officer's Base Salary shall be One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) and shall be adjusted as provided in this Section. Commencing on January 1, 2009, and on each anniversary thereafter, or from time to time at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "COMPENSATION COMMITTEE"), Officer's Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Compensation Committee and may be increased, but may never be decreased, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. In determining whether to increase Officer's Base Salary, the Compensation Committee may engage a reputable compensation consulting firm to determine comparable compensation packages provided to executives in similarly situated companies. 5.1.3 The Company may deduct from the Base Salary amounts sufficient to cover applicable federal, state and/or local income tax withholdings and any other amounts which the Company is required to withhold by applicable law. 5.2 CASH BONUS PLAN. The Compensation Committee shall adopt a cash bonus plan designed to provide Officer an opportunity to earn annual cash bonuses during each calendar year during his employment which, when added to Officer's Base Salary, shall provide officer a level of compensation comparable to compensation generally prevailing for other chief executive officers of publicly traded companies which are comparable to the Company. The factors to be used to select which companies are comparable to that of the Company shall include, but not limited to, industry group, revenues, operating income, growth rate, number of employees and location. The annual performance goals to be met in order to earn portions or all of the bonus provided under the plan shall be determined through consultation between the Officer and the Compensation Page 2 Committee (the "ANNUAL PERFORMANCE Goal"). If requested by either the Compensation Committee or Officer, the Company shall retain a reputable, nationally recognized compensation consultant to assist the Compensation Committee in identifying comparable companies and to make recommendations regarding the structure and amount of the Cash Bonus Plan. The amount of the cash bonus for any particular calendar year shall be determined as follows: (i) if Officer substantially achieves the Annual Performance Goal for such calendar year, officer shall receive a cash bonus of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Officer's Base Salary for such calendar year; and (ii) if Officer exceeds the Annual Performance Goal for such calendar year, Officer shall receive a cash bonus between fifty percent (50%) and one hundred percent (100%) of the Officer's Base Salary for such calendar year. If this Agreement is terminated in the middle of a calendar year, Officer shall receive a cash bonus for services rendered through the Termination Date (as defined below) equal to the cash bonus he would have received for the entire calendar year, prorated through the Termination Date.
