THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of March 05, 2012, is by and between Bioflamex Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and Kristian Schiørring (the "Employee").

 

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to employ Employee in the position of Chief Executive Officer, and

 

WHEREAS, Employee wishes to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company,

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                   Term of Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company will employ the Employee, and the Employee will serve the Company, as a Chief Executive Officer, for a period deemed to have begun on March 05, 2012 (the "Effective Date") and terminating on the third anniversary of such date (the "Initial Term"). Following the expiration of the Initial Term and for each extension period referred to in this sentence, the Agreement shall be automatically renewed for a period of three years, unless either party provides written notice at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the current period of its intention not to renew the Agreement (such term, as it may be shortened by termination of Employee’s employment hereunder pursuant to the provisions hereof or extended, the "Term of Employment").

 

2.                   Duties. During the Term of Employment, the Employee will serve as the Chief Executive Officer or such other similar or comparable position or positions as determined by the Company. The primary location of the Employee’s employment hereunder shall be the offices of the Company in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Employee will hold, in addition to Employee’s principal position, such other offices as he may be appointed or assigned from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company and will discharge such duties in connection therewith. The Employee shall devote all of his business time to the performance of his duties hereunder.

 

3.                   Compensation.

a.

The Company will, during the Term of Employment, pay to the Employee as compensation for the performance of his duties and obligations hereunder a base salary of $240,000 payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies (“Salary”). During the Term of Employment, such Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors of the Company, or its Compensation Committee, in accordance with the Company’s compensation program and may be increased, but not decreased (other than in connection with a proportionate, across-the board reduction in the compensation of all executive officers or similarly situated employees of the Company).

b.

the Corporation shall grant to the Executive 5,000,000 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock following 3 months employment from the date hereof, which stock shall be fully paid and non assessable upon issue;

 

c.

the Executive shall be eligible for an annual performance bonus (the "Performance Bonus") during the term of his employment hereunder based on corporate performance criteria determined annually by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Performance Bonus shall be paid quarterly and computed on the basis of the results achieved during the previous quarter at the same time as the Corporation pays such bonuses to its other senior executives. For fiscal year 2012 and years thereafter, the Board shall provide the bonus plan to the Executive within 90 days of the completion of the previous fiscal year.

 

d.

the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the benefit plans of the Corporation in effect from time to time, in accordance with the terms of such plans, including medical, dental and life insurance, as of and with effect from the Commencement Date;

 

e.

the Corporation shall, upon presentation of itemized receipts, reimburse the Executive for all travel and other business expenses directly and reasonably incurred by the Executive in the performance of his duties;

 

f.

the Corporation shall make available to the Executive a company automobile (the lease amount of which is not to exceed US$2,000.00 per month) for the use by the Executive in the performance of his duties and the Corporation shall, upon presentation of itemized receipts, reimburse the Executive for all expenses reasonably incurred by the Executive in the operation of such automobile;

 

4. Death or Disability.

 

(a)           The Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall be terminated by the death of the Employee. In addition, the Employee’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Board of Directors of the Company if the Employee shall be rendered incapable by illness or any other disability from complying with the terms, conditions and provisions on his part to be kept, observed and performed for a period in excess of 180 days (whether or not consecutive) or 120 days consecutively, as the case may be, during a 12-month period during the Term of Employment (“Disability”). If the Employee’s employment under this Agreement is terminated by reason of Disability of the Employee, the Company shall give notice to that effect to the Employee in the manner provided herein. In the event that the Employee receives disability insurance benefits for which payment was made by the Company after the Effective Date of this Agreement and prior to termination of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6(a), the Employee’s Salary shall be reduced by an amount equal to such disability insurance benefits during such period.

 

(b)           In addition to and not in substitution for any other benefits which may be payable by the Company in respect of the death of the Employee, in the event of such death after the Employee’s employment has begun, the Salary payable hereunder (but excluding medical plan and other benefits) shall continue to be paid at the then current rate for three (3) months after the termination of employment in accordance with normal Company payroll practices. In addition, any bonuses actually earned pursuant to Section 3 prior to the termination of the Employee’s employment (including, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, a pro-rated amount of any annual bonus for the portion of the fiscal year during which termination takes place) shall be paid not later than five (5) months after such termination. All sums payable pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be paid to the Employee’s personal representative.

 

(c)     In addition to and not in substitution for any other benefits which may be payable by the Company in respect of the Disability of the Employee, in the event of the termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder due to such Disability pursuant to Section 6(a) after the Employee’s employment has begun, the Salary payable hereunder (inclusive of paid medical plan then in effect and available, if any) shall continue to be paid at the then current rate for six (6) months after the termination of employment in accordance with normal Company payroll practices; provided, however, that the Company shall deduct from such payments the amount of any and all disability insurance benefits paid during such three-month period with respect to the Employee that were paid for by the Company during any period for which payment was made by the Company after the Effective Date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of the Employee’s employment. In addition, any bonuses actually earned pursuant to Section 3 prior to the termination of the Employee’s employment (including, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, a pro-rated amount of any annual bonus for the portion of the fiscal year during which termination takes place) which shall be paid not later than five (5) months after such termination.

 

5.                   Non-Disclosure; Confidentiality. The Employee and the Company are parties to a Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete Agreement, a true and correct copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A. Notwithstanding any statement in this Agreement to the contrary, Employee and the Company agree that the Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A shall remain in full force and effect following the Effective Date, and the terms of the Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A are incorporated by reference into, and form a part of, this Agreement.

 

6.                   Remedies.

 

(a)          Employee acknowledges that irreparable injury would result to the Company if the provisions of Section 7 or 12 of this Agreement, and/or the provisions of the Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A, were not specifically enforced, and Employee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to any appropriate legal, equitable or other remedy, including injunctive relief, in respect to any failure to comply with the provisions of Section 7 or 12 of this Agreement, and/or the provisions of the Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(b)         In furtherance of and not in limitation of Section 8(a), in the event that subsequent to the Term of Employment Employee breaches any of his obligations to the Company under Section 7 or 12 of this Agreement, and/or the provisions of the Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A, then the Company’s obligation to make further payments to Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate. Any such termination shall not limit or affect the Company’s right to pursue any other remedy available to the Company at law or in equity.

 

7.                   Termination for Cause. In addition to any other remedy available to the Company, either at law or in equity, the Employee’s employment with the Company may be terminated by the Board of Directors for “Cause”, which shall include (i) the Employee’s conviction from which no further appeal may be taken for, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (ii) the Employee’s commission of a breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit in connection with the Employee’s employment by the Company; (iii) the Employee’s commission of an act in the conduct of duties under this Agreement which the Board of Directors shall reasonably have found to have involved willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Employee; (iv) habitual absenteeism not resulting from the Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness; (v) the Employee’s material breach of the Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete Agreement which remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following notice by the Company; or (vi) the willful and continued failure over a period of thirty (30) days by the Employee to perform substantially his duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness). With respect to the matters set forth in subsections (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 19, the Company may not terminate the Employee’s employment unless the Employee has first been given notice of the conduct forming the cause for such termination, and Employee has been provided an opportunity to cure such conduct. If Employee does not cure the reason for the notice within thirty (30) days, then the Company shall be entitled to terminate Employee’s employment in accordance with this Section 9. In the event of termination under this Section 9, the Company’s obligations to the Employee shall be limited to the payment of accrued and unpaid Salary through the date of such termination and any earned but not yet paid bonus from the prior fiscal year. All compensation and benefits will cease at the time of such termination and, except as otherwise provided by COBRA, the Company will have no further liability or obligation by reason of such termination. The foregoing will not be construed to limit the Employee’s right to payment or reimbursement for claims incurred prior to the date of such termination under any insurance contract funding an employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement of the Company in accordance with the terms of such insurance contract. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9, the Employee, in consideration of his employment hereunder to the date of such termination, shall remain bound by the provisions of Section 7 or 12 of this Agreement, together with the provisions of the Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A, following any such termination.

 

8.                   Termination by the Company Without Cause or By the Employee for Good Cause, Severance.

 

(a)           Each of the Company and the Employee may terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement at any time for any reason whatsoever, without any further liability or obligation of the Company to the Employee or of the Employee to the Company from and after the date of such termination (other than liabilities or obligations accrued but unsatisfied on, or surviving, the date of such termination), by sending written notice to the other party.

 

(b)           In the event the Company elects to terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement without Cause pursuant to this Section 10, or in the event the Company gives notice to Employee that it elects not to renew this Agreement at the expiration of its then current Term, then Employee shall be entitled to receive the following payments and benefits:

 

(1)                 within 10 business days following the date of termination or expiration, the payment of all accrued and unpaid Salary through such date;

 

(2)                 any bonuses actually earned pursuant to Section 3 prior to the termination of the Employee’s employment (including, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, a pro-rated amount of any annual bonus for the portion of the fiscal year during which termination takes place) which shall be paid not later than five (5) months after such termination;

 

(3)                 the Company shall pay to the Employee an amount equal to his full Salary (at the rate in effect on the effective date of the termination, inclusive of paid medical plan then in effect, if any) as such Salary otherwise would have accrued for the specific period identified on the following schedule, payable in accordance with the Company's normal payroll practices:

 

During the Initial Term	Payable for the balance of the Initial Term or for 12 months, whichever is greater
After the Initial Term	Payable for 12 months

 

(4)                 at the request of the Employee, the Company will amend the terms of any stock option grant agreement in effect between the Employee and the Company concerning options granted to the employee that are vested as of the date of termination to provide that all such vested options shall be exercisable until the expiration date set forth in such stock option grant agreement (without regard to the effect of the termination of the Employee's employment on the term of the option), provided that such options shall cease to be exercisable in the event the Employee commits a material breach of his continuing post-employment obligations to the Company under the provisions of Sections 7 and 12 of this Agreement. The Employee acknowledges that under applicable law the exercise of any vested options more than three (3) months after termination of employment, or the amendment of any option agreements to permit such later exercise, may render such options ineligible for favorable federal income tax treatment as incentive stock options; and

 

(5)                 so long as Employee is not in material breach of any material obligation under this Agreement, including, but not limited to material breach of his continuing post-employment obligations to the Company under the provisions of Sections 7 and 12 of this Agreement, then with respect to any stock option grant agreements in effect between the Employee and the Company, and any shares of restricted stock received by the Employee pursuant to restricted stock agreements to which the Company and the Employee were parties prior to the date of termination, the Company shall waive the applicability of any right of repurchase the Company may have under such agreements.

 

(c)           Prior to any termination for “Good Cause” (as hereinafter defined) by Employee of his employment hereunder, Employee shall provide a notice to the Company of any Good Cause for the Employee’s termination of employment and shall provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity of not less than thirty (30) days to cure the reason(s) for the notice. If the Company does not cure the reason for the notice within the period provided and Employee terminates his employment for Good Cause, then the Employee shall be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 10(b). In the event the Employee elects to terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement, other than for Good Cause, the Company’s obligations to the Employee shall be limited to the payment of accrued and unpaid Salary through the date of such termination and any earned but not yet paid bonus from the prior fiscal year. All compensation and benefits will cease at the time of such termination and the Company will have no further liability or obligation by reason of such termination. The foregoing will not be construed to limit the Employee’s right to payment or reimbursement for claims incurred prior to the date of such termination under any insurance contract funding an employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement of the Company in accordance with the terms of such insurance contract. Furthermore, the foregoing will not be construed to limit the Employee’s right to continue medical benefits in accordance with the terms and conditions of COBRA.

 

(d)           Any termination of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement by the Company as provided in this Section 10 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any rights with respect to termination of the Employee which the Company may have pursuant to Section 19. Notwithstanding any termination of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10, the Employee, in consideration of his employment hereunder to the date of such termination, shall remain bound by the provisions of Section 7 or 12 of this Agreement, and/or the provisions of the Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A, following any such termination.

 

(e)           For purposes of this Section 10, “Good Cause” shall mean a Detrimental Change as defined in Section 10(f) below or a material breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement which is not cured in the time and manner provided for in Section 10(c).

 

(f)            As used in this Agreement, “Detrimental Change” shall mean, without the Employee’s express written consent:

 

(1)                 a material reduction in the Employee’s annual base salary;

 

(2)                 any relocation of the Employee’s principal site of employment by more than forty (40) miles;

 

(3)                 the assignment to the Employee of any duties inconsistent (except in the nature of a promotion) with those of a Chief Executive Officer in the Company or a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of his position or responsibilities; provided, however, that circumstances constituting Detrimental Change shall not be deemed to have occurred with respect to any change in duties, or any change in the nature or status of the Employee’s position or responsibilities, which derives predominantly from the fact that the Company has become a subsidiary or division of another company and as a result (i) the Employee reports to an additional and/or different executive at the Company or the other company, and (ii) the Employee has a new title which reflects such new reporting relationship; or

 

(4)                 the failure by the Company to continue to provide the Employee with benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by him unless this failure is a result of changes to the Company’s benefits generally applicable, in each case, to all or substantially all similarly situated employees.

 

(g)           If the Employee fails to notify the Company within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of circumstances giving rise to a Detrimental Change that he will terminate his employment with the Company due to such Detrimental Change unless it is cured, then such failure to notify shall constitute his consent to, and waiver of rights with respect to, any such circumstances constituting a Detrimental Change; provided that in no event shall Employee’s continued employment during any cure period after having given notice constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting a Detrimental Change.

 

(h)           Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any and all payments and benefits described in this Section 10 shall be conditioned on (i) the Employee’s execution and delivery to the Company, within 30 days following the effective date of termination of employment pursuant to this Section 10, of a full and complete release of any and all claims the Employee may have against the Company (other than for post termination benefits payable or provided to the Employee under this Agreement or any other applicable Company benefit plan) in such form as the Company may require; and (ii) such release becoming irrevocable.

 

9.                   Resignation. In the event that the Employee’s services under this Agreement are terminated under any of the provisions of this Agreement (except by death), the Employee agrees that he will deliver to the Board of Directors his written resignation from all positions held with the Company, such resignation to become effective immediately; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the provisions of Section 7 or 12 of this Agreement, and/or the provisions of the Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A, relating to the survival thereof following termination of the Employee’s services hereunder; and provided, further, that except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to no further compensation hereunder.

 

10.                Data. Upon expiration or termination of the Term of Employment or termination pursuant to Section 1, 6, 9 or 10 hereof, the Employee or his personal representative shall promptly deliver to the Company all books, memoranda plans, records and written data of every kind relating to the business and affairs of the Company which are then in his possession or control, if any.

 

11.                Insurance. The Company shall have the right, at its own cost and expense to apply for and to secure in its own name, or otherwise, life, health or accident insurance or any or all of them covering the Employee, and the Employee agrees to submit to usual and customary medical examinations and otherwise to cooperate with the Company in connection with the procurement of any such insurance and any claims thereunder.

 

12.                Waiver of Breach. Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a continuing waiver or consent to any subsequent breach on the part either of the Employee or the Company.

 

13.                Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company upon any sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or upon any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other entity (including, without limitation, any change in control of the Company), all as though such successors and assigns of the Company and their respective successors and assigns were the Company. Insofar as the Employee is concerned, this Agreement, being personal, may not be assigned, and any such purported assignment shall be void and of no effect.

 

14.                Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted herefrom, and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which may be validly and enforceably covered.

 

15.                Notices. All notices, requests and other communications pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, if delivered in person or by courier, telegraphed, telexed or by facsimile transmission (receipt confirmed) or five (5) business days after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage paid, addressed as follows:

(i)                   in any geographical area in the United States or in those foreign countries where Bioflamex, during the period of the Undersigned’s employment with Bioflamex, conducts or proposes to conduct business, engage in any business that is Directly Competitive with the Business of Bioflamex.

(ii)                 solicit, induce, encourage or attempt to induce or encourage any employee, contractor or consultant of Bioflamex to terminate his or her employment or relationship with Bioflamex, or to breach any other obligation to Bioflamex;

(iii)                solicit, interfere with, disrupt, alter or attempt to disrupt or alter the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between Bioflamex and any other person including, without limitation, any consultant, contractor, customer, potential customer, or supplier of Bioflamex; or

(iv)               engage in or participate in any business conducted under any name that shall be the same as or similar to the name of Bioflamex or any trade name used by Bioflamex.

(v)                 For purposes of this Section 3, the "Business" of Bioflamex shall be deemed to mean any business which Bioflamex conducts or has initiated plans to conduct during the term of Undersigned’s service with Bioflamex, including, but not limited to, the development, marketing and sale of products comprised of or containing tissue-engineered skin.

 

For purposes of this Section 3, "Directly Competitive" shall mean the development, marketing, selling, providing, distributing or sponsoring of any service or product similar to any service or product offered by Bioflamex or which is capable of substituting for or displacing any of Bioflamex’s services or products in the marketplace.

For purposes of this Section 3, the terms “holder of equity,” “debt investment” or “lender” shall not include or encompass any securities, debt or other investment instruments issued by or related to any publicly traded company, or any securities, debt or investment instruments held indirectly via any mutual fund, index fund, private equity fund, investment trust or money market fund.

 

3.2 Acknowledgment. The Undersigned acknowledges that the geographic, activity and time limitations contained in Section 3.1 are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of Bioflamex's business. In the event that any such geographic, activity or time limitation is deemed to be unreasonable by a court, the Undersigned shall submit to the reduction of either said activity or time limitation to such activity or period as the court shall deem reasonable. In the event that the Undersigned is in violation of the aforementioned restrictive covenants, then the time limitation thereof shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency of such proceedings, including appeals.

 

3.3 Conditions on Enforceability of Non-competition Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the post-employment non-competition limitations contained in Section 3.1 (i) through (iv) shall not be enforceable unless Bioflamex is then in compliance with its payment obligations to the Undersigned with respect to any post-termination obligation to the Undersigned under any employment or consulting agreement.

 

3.4 Provided that Undersigned is not engaged in personally rendering services relating to any business activity that is Directly Competitive with the Business of Bioflamex, it shall not be a violation of Section 3.1(i) of this Agreement if, after separation from employment with Bioflamex, the Undersigned becomes employed by or renders service to (whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, consultant, holder of equity or debt investment, lender or in any other manner or capacity) a subsidiary or division of a parent company with annual revenues in excess of $500 million, where the employing subsidiary or division does not conduct any business that is Directly Competitive with the Business of Bioflamex, even if the parent company has a separate subsidiary or division that does conduct a business that is Directly Competitive with the Business of Bioflamex.

4. Conflict of Interest.

 

4.1 Making or Offering Payments or Gifts to Influence the Acts of Others. The Undersigned shall not make or offer to make any payment, loan or gift:

 

(i) to any government official or employee;

(ii) to any representative of any vendor or customer (A) if doing so would appear to be an attempt to influence the representative's performance of his or her duties and (B) unless the vendor's or customer's management has advance knowledge of such payment, loan or gift; or

(iii) to any person where such payment, loan, gift or offer might violate any law, regulation or Bioflamex policy, including those relating to (A) commercial or other bribery, (B) conflicts of interest, (C) labor matters, or (D) antitrust or trade regulation compliance.

 

The foregoing notwithstanding, the Undersigned may provide customary token business gifts and entertainment.

 

4.2                Accepting Any Payment or Gift. The Undersigned shall not accept or solicit from any vendor, customer or competitor any payment, loan or gift or thing of value whether or not connected with the Undersigned’s performance of duties to Bioflamex. The Undersigned shall not give any vendor, customer or competitor the impression that he or she expects or would accept gifts or gratuities. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Undersigned may accept gifts of nominal value (less than or equal to $25) which could not appear to cause a conflict of interest so long as there is no effort made to conceal the gift. If the Undersigned receives a gift that is prohibited under this Section 4, he or she shall notify his or her supervisor and return the gift, along with a written explanation that Bioflamex’s policy prevents the Undersigned from accepting the gift. Any gift that cannot be returned shall be the property of Bioflamex to dispose of in its sole discretion.

 

4.3 Outside Interests and Activities.

 

(a) The Undersigned is expected to devote so much of his or her full time and ability to performing his or her duties as an employee or consultant of Bioflamex, both during regular business hours and such additional time, as may be required. The Undersigned is not permitted to maintain any business or financial interest, or to engage in any outside activity, that conflicts with the interests of Bioflamex or might interfere with the Undersigned's ability to discharge his or her duties to Bioflamex. For purposes of this Section 4, investments in securities that are listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded on the over-the-counter market in the United States shall not be deemed a conflict of interest.

 

(b) If the Undersigned has at any time during the term of his or her employment with Bioflamex any business or financial interest or engages in any outside activity that might conflict with the Undersigned’s duties to Bioflamex, he or she must immediately disclose the potential conflict to the Chief Operating Officer of Bioflamex, who will determine whether any conflict of interest exists. If a conflict of interest exists, Bioflamex shall determine whether the Undersigned should terminate the conflicting interest or activity, or whether the Undersigned's duties should be revised.

 

(c) If the Undersigned wishes to serve as a director or officer of another company, he or she must obtain the prior written approval of the Chief Operating Officer to ensure that such service would be a conflict of interest.

 

(d) If a relative of the Undersigned is engaged in activities which, if engaged in by the Undersigned would constitute a conflict of interest, the Undersigned shall notify the Chief Operating Officer of Bioflamex thereof in writing.

 

4.4 Trading with Bioflamex. The Undersigned shall not sell or rent any property to or from Bioflamex, unless the sale or rental has been approved in advance by a majority of the disinterested members of Bioflamex's Board of Directors.

4.5 Misuse of Business Opportunity. The Undersigned agrees that he or she shall not take advantage of any business opportunity which the Undersigned learns about or develops in the course of employment by Bioflamex which is related to any current or future business of Bioflamex without Bioflamex 's consent.

 

4.6 Decisions; Remedies. The Undersigned acknowledges and agrees that (i) Bioflamex's determination as to whether a conflict of interest exists or a misuse of business opportunity has occurred shall be conclusive and Bioflamex may take such action as, in its judgment, will terminate any conflict; (ii) the Undersigned may be subject to dismissal or other appropriate disciplinary action in the event that he or she violates the provisions of this Section 4, and (iii) Bioflamex has the right to recover from the Undersigned any damages that it sustains as a result of the Undersigned’s violation of this Section 4 and/or to refer such matter for criminal prosecution.

 

5. Miscellaneous.

 

5.1 Disclosure of this Agreement. The Undersigned hereby authorizes Bioflamex to notify others, including but not limited to customers of Bioflamex and any of the Undersigned’s future employers, of the terms of this Agreement and the Undersigned’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

5.2 Specific Performance. The Undersigned acknowledges that money damages alone would not adequately compensate Bioflamex in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Undersigned of this Agreement, and that, in addition to all other remedies available to Bioflamex at law or in equity, Bioflamex shall be entitled to injunctive relief for the enforcement of its rights and to an accounting of profits made during the period of such breach.

 

5.3 Severability.

 

(a)                 This Agreement is the entire agreement of the parties as to its subject matter but is not and shall not be construed as an employment agreement.

 

(b)                 Each of the covenants provided in this Agreement are separate and independent covenants. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and any such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be reformed so as to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

(c)                 It is not a defense to the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement that Bioflamex has breached or failed to perform any obligation or covenant under any other agreement or understanding between the Undersigned and Bioflamex.

5.4 Indemnification: Waiver of Breach. Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a continuing waiver or consent to any subsequent breach on the part of the Undersigned. The Undersigned will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bioflamex from and against any losses, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to, based upon or arising from claims of third persons of breach or a claim of breach of the Undersigned’s representations and agreements in Section 1.4.

 

5.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to conflict of law rules. Bioflamex and the Undersigned submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts situated in the State of Nevada which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to decide disputes between them.

 

5.6 Amendments; Further Documents. This Agreement may not be changed, modified, released, discharged, abandoned or otherwise terminated in whole or in part except by an instrument in writing, agreed to and signed by the Undersigned and a duly authorized officer of Bioflamex. The Undersigned agrees to execute such additional documents as Bioflamex may require to implement the terms of this Agreement.
