absolute discretion, details of which are set out in Item 5 of the
Schedule.
4.4 REVIEW
(a) The Contractor's remuneration will be subject to annual review
by the Board having regard to such matters as the quantity and
quality of services provided by the Contractor, the
performance of the Company, the performance of the 30DC Group,

with the consent in writing of the Contractor). The Company
has the absolute discretion whether to increase the Engagement

investigation into performance agree to the variation of the
Engagement Cost and the terms of this Agreement shall be
altered accordingly.

Board, directly or indirectly be engaged or
interested in any other business activity competing

doubt this will not preclude the Contractor from

under this Agreement) but this will not preclude the
Contractor from holding or acquiring not more than 5%

officially listed on any recognised stock exchange or
holding or acquiring any real property by way of
passive personal investment which holding or
acquisition is not inconsistent with the intent of

time to time introduce policies and procedures with respect
to, for example, workplace surveillance (including email and
internet usage), anti-discrimination, equal engagement
opportunity and occupational health and safety.
(b) The Contractor agrees to become familiar with such policies
and procedures and, insofar as the carrying out of the
services by the Contractor will affect the carrying out of
those policies and procedures by the Company and its
employees, will not do anything which would result in a breach
of such policies and procedures.
(c) Subject to (b) these polices and procedures do not form part
of this Agreement and are not incorporated into the terms and
conditions of the Engagement with the Company.

provisions to redress breach of that policy. Steps taken by
the Company to redress breach of a policy or procedure by the
Contractor may include warning or termination of this
Agreement under clause 11.2.

(iii) effective without any further payment to the
Contractor, whether by way of royalty or otherwise,
in consideration for the assignment.

this assignment.
-6-
CONTRACT FOR SERVICES AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(e) The Contractor gives consent to the Company for all acts or
omissions (whether occurring before or after the date of this
Agreement) made in relation to any work created during the
course of the Engagement, which would otherwise be an
infringement of the Contractor's moral rights in the relevant
work.
(f) It is acknowledged by the Company that the Contractor has
developed or created intellectual property prior to this
Agreement and may in the future develop or create intellectual
property neither for the purpose of the Engagement nor using
the Company's resources including but not limited to patents,
software, services, online marketing tools, and techniques for
the arrangement of software and online marketing tools and
services and that this intellectual property shall at all
times be and remain the property of the Contractor.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) During the Engagement and at all times after the termination
of the Engagement, the Contractor must not, except:

divulge or disclose to any other person, firm or corporation
any confidential information relating to the Company or the
30DC Group, being specifically any raw data, technology, or
process which is confidential or of a sensitive nature and not
already in the possession of the Contractor prior to the
Engagement or in the public domain, or any trade secrets of
which the Contractor may become possessed whilst engaged in
any way whatsoever by the Company (collectively referred to as
the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION).
(b) The Contractor must not use or attempt to use the Confidential
Information in any manner which will or may cause or be
calculated to cause injury or loss to the Company or the 30DC
Group.
(c) During the Engagement, the Contractor must use its best
endeavours to prevent the unauthorised disclosure of any of
the Confidential Information by or to third parties.
(d) The provisions of clauses 9(a) and 9(b) of this Agreement will
continue to apply after termination of the Engagement without
limitation in point of time but will cease to apply to
information or knowledge which may come into the public
domain, other than by breach by the Contractor of this
Agreement.
(e) Since any breach of the provisions of clauses 9(a), 9(b) and
9(c) of this Agreement may diminish the value of the
Confidential Information, the Contractor acknowledges that the
Company, for itself and on behalf of the 30DC Group, will be
entitled to equitable relief, including but not limited to

reasons specified in this clause, it may do so by giving
notice effective forthwith and without payment of any
remuneration, allowances or incentives of any nature, other
than as accrued to the date of termination. Termination
without notice may occur in circumstances where the
Contractor:
(i) fails to provide services or becomes unable to
provide the services under this Agreement for a
period of not less than one Month or any periods
aggregating not less than one Month in any period of
12 Months;
(ii) is guilty of any serious or wilful misconduct;
(iii) is charged with any criminal offence which in the
reasonable opinion of the Board brings the
Contractor, the Company or the 30DC Group into

11.3 BY THE COMPANY WITH NOTICE
After the initial 24 month restriction on termination, the Company may
terminate the Engagement at any time by giving six Months' notice in
writing to the Contractor.
11.4 BY THE CONTRACTOR WITH NOTICE
After the initial 24 month restriction on termination, the Contractor
may terminate the Engagement by giving six Months' notice in writing to
the Company. If the Contractor does not give the required period of
notice then the Company may withhold money equivalent to the
Contractor's remuneration for the shortfall in the required period of
notice, on the basis that amount be forfeited by the Contractor to the
Company.
11.5 CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION
Where either the Contractor or the Company gives notice of termination
of the Engagement, on the date that notice is given or at any time
after that during the currency of the notice, the Company may do either
of (a) or (b) below:
(a) pay the Contractor a lump sum equal to at least the total of
all amounts that, if the Engagement had continued until the
end of the required period of notice, the Company would have
-8-
CONTRACT FOR SERVICES AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
become liable to pay to the Contractor because of the
Engagement continuing during that period. If the Company makes
that payment then the Engagement terminates on tender by the
Company to the Contractor of that lump sum; or
(b) require the Contractor to no longer provide services to the
Company (for the balance of the period of the notice).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, termination notice also terminates
the officer's position on the date thereof without
resignation.

notice of termination of the Engagement, the Board will immediately be
entitled to:

were being carried out by the Contractor immediately prior to
the date upon which any such notice of termination is given;
and
(b) require the Contractor to assist any contractor or person
appointed to provide the services as the Board may deem
necessary and for such period within the six Month period of
notice as the Board may determine to ensure an orderly
handover of the Contractor's services to the replacement
provider.

The Contractor expressly covenants that it shall immediately upon the
termination of the Engagement deliver up to the Company all
correspondence, documentation, specifications, papers, records
(including for the avoidance of doubt all records held in electronic

papers, records or other property shall be retained by them.
