This is the Second Amendment (this “Amendment”) to that certain Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between Car Charging Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and Michael D. Farkas (“Executive”) dated October 29, 2010.

 

The parties make the following terms and conditions part of the Agreement:

 

1. Effective Date. The Effective Date of the Amendment is July 24, 2015.

 

2. Appointment as Chief Visionary Officer. As of the Effective Date, Executive shall be appointed as Chief Visionary Officer of the Company and shall no longer serve as Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, he will remain Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, and, at the discretion of the Company’s Board, he will remain a member of the Company’s Executive Committee and a member of the Company’s OPFIN Committee. As Chief Visionary Officer, Executive will focus on (i) bringing the Company’s financial reporting up-to-date, (ii) hardware development, (iii) finding and closing on potential fundraising opportunities, and (iv) the uplisting of the Company. Executive’s salary shall not be changed by this Amendment and Executive shall remain entitled to receive payment for installations consistent with amounts currently paid to upper management of the Company.

 

3. Board Member Compensation. So long as Executive serves as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and it is otherwise permissible under the Company’s existing financing arrangements, Executive’s compensation shall be the following for his attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors:

 

  a. 5,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to $0.01 above the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the meeting for which the options are paid in accordance with the Company’s then-current incentive plan; and
     
  b. A “Nominal Fee” of $1,500 cash per meeting. The Company reserves the right to elect to pay the Nominal Fee in shares of Company common stock at a value of two times its cash value based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the meeting for which the Nominal Fee is paid in accordance with the Company’s then-current incentive plan.

 

If a Board of Directors meeting is held on a day the stock market is not open, the price shall be based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the next available business day.

 

4. Incentive Payment. In the event a sale of the Company is effected within one (1) year of the Effective Date, Executive shall be entitled to receive an incentive payment for his work on and support of the sale process equal to one percent (1%) of the gross sale price. During the term of the Agreement, Executive shall not receive payment under this Section (or otherwise) based on amounts raised by the Company through a re-IPO process or other traditional or non-traditional capital raising efforts.

 

5. Term. The Term of Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date and end on the four (4) month anniversary thereof, unless determined by the Company’s Board of Directors that it is in the best interests of the Company to extend the term. Executive’s participation on the Company’s Board of Directors and its committees shall not be affected by the termination of his employment as Chief Visionary Officer hereunder. Section 4(D)(ii) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.
