Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Hasara will continue to act as the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (a position he has held since August 2013) for a term beginning on August 1, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2017. At the end of such initial term, the Employment Agreement will automatically renew for successive one year terms unless prior written notice is received from either party within 60 days prior to the end of the particular term.

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Hasara will earn a base salary of $135,000 per year. Such base salary will automatically increase to $180,000 per year upon achievement by the Company of an equity financing which generates gross proceeds to the Company of at least five million dollars ($5,000,000). Mr. Hasara is also eligible for a bonus in cash or in kind of up to 50% of his base salary based upon his achievement of certain goals as established by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or a committee of the Board. In addition, Mr. Hasara has been awarded 7,000,000 restricted stock units from the Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to approval by the Company's stockholders.

The Employment Agreement may be terminated with or without cause (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) by the Company or for or without good reason (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) by Mr. Hasara. In the event that the Employment Agreement is terminated for cause by the Company or without good reason by Mr. Hasara, Mr. Hasara is entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid salary and bonus amounts ("Guaranteed Severance Payments"). In the event that the Employment Agreement is terminated without cause by the Company or for good reason by Mr. Hasara, Mr. Hasara is entitled to the Guaranteed Severance Payments plus a cash payment equal to six months of Mr. Hasara's base salary, provided that such payment will equal twelve months of Mr. Hasara's base salary if the Company has reached certain milestones. In the event that the Employment Agreement is terminated for good reason by Mr. Hasara following a change of control, Mr. Hasara is entitled to the Guaranteed Severance Payments plus a cash payment equal to twelve months of Mr. Hasara's base salary. The Employment Agreement is also terminable upon Mr. Hasara's death and disability. The Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Hasara may not compete against the Company or solicit employees or customers from the Company for a period of one (1) year after termination of his employment for any reason as described in the Employment Agreement.
