Re:     Employment Terms

 

Dear Mr. Chiou,

You are responsible for duties and services that are normally associated with and inherent in the capacity in which you are employed, as well as such other duties as shall from time to time be assigned to you by the Board of Directors of the Company. You report to the Board of Directors and work at the facility of our subsidiary located at 44043 Fremont Blvd., Fremont, CA 94538. Unless you are traveling for the Company’s business, you are required to be present at the Freemont office at least three weeks within each calendar month.

You agree to serve without additional compensation if elected or appointed as an officer and/or director of the Company and any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates.

Effective as of November 1, 2017, your base salary is at the rate of $144,000.00 per year (equivalent to $12,000 per month), less payroll deductions and withholdings, paid on the Company’s normal payroll schedule. You will be entitled to twenty (20) working days of vacation per year.

During your employment, you will be eligible to participate in the standard benefits plans offered to similarly situated employees by the Company from time to time, subject to plan terms and generally applicable Company policies.

As a Company employee, you will be expected to abide by Company rules and policies. As a condition of employment, you must sign and comply with the attached Conflict of Interest, Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, which prohibits unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s proprietary information, among other obligations.

By accepting/continuing employment with the Company, you also agree to keep all the Company’s information strictly confidential, and not to use it or disclose it to any person or entity, except as is necessary in the ordinary course of performing your work. You further acknowledge and agree that your obligation to protect our confidential information from disclosure exists both during your employment and after it ends. You also agree that at the termination of your employment, for any reason, you will return to the Company all copies (including electronic copies) of any documents or other materials you have that refer to or contain the Company’s confidential information, including notebooks, manuals, correspondence and customer lists, and that you will not retain any copies of same.

U.S.A.

 

 

In your work for the Company, you will be expected not to use or disclose any confidential information, including trade secrets, of any former employer or other person to whom you have an obligation of confidentiality. Rather, you will be expected to use only that information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to your own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company. You agree that you will not bring onto Company premises any unpublished documents or property belonging to any former employer or other person to whom you have an obligation of confidentiality. You hereby represent that you have disclosed to the Company any contract you have signed that may restrict your activities on behalf of the Company.

You may terminate your employment with the Company at any time with a 30-day notice for any reason whatsoever simply by notifying the Company. Likewise, the Company may terminate your employment at any time, with a 30-day advance notice. Your employment at-will status can only be modified in a written agreement signed by both you and the Chairperson or representative of the Board of Directors of the Company.

We believe that your employment with the Company requires a full-time commitment. Employment with any other entity, or for yourself in competition with the Company, is not permitted unless expressly authorized by the Company in writing.

You also agree that for a period of two years after your employment ends, you will not solicit any employee of or consultant to the Company to leave his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company in order to begin employment or a consulting relationship with any company or business in actual or potential competition with the Company or its affiliates.

This letter, together with your Conflicts of Interest, Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, forms the complete and exclusive statement of your employment agreement with the Company. It supersedes any other agreements or promises made to you by anyone, whether oral or written. Any changes in your employment terms, other than those changes expressly reserved to the Company’s discretion in this letter, require a written modification signed by both you and the Chairperson or representative of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Please sign and date this letter, and the enclosed Employee Conflicts of Interest, Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement and return them to me by November 30, 2017, so we may process the Company’s payroll for November to reflect the change in your base salary.

Sincerely,

On November 27, 2017, Aerkomm Inc.

The Investor has agreed to waive these registration rights.

 

The sale of the Shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.  The Investor represented his intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate restrictive legends are being affixed to the certificate evidencing the Shares issued in the Offering.  The Investor represented and warranted, among other things, that he is as “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D, that that he has the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company, that he has the ability to bear the economic risks of the investment, and that he has adequate access to information about the Company.

All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and its stockholders necessary for the authorization of the Subscription Documents and the execution, delivery and performance of all obligations of the Company under the Subscription Documents, including the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock being subscribed for under this Agreement (the “Shares”) has been taken or will be taken prior to the issuance of the Shares. The Subscription Documents, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors and, with respect to rights to indemnity, subject to federal and state securities laws. The Shares, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Subscription Documents will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of any liens or encumbrances and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and securities laws.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Subscription Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Documents will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties. The sale of the Shares is not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with.

3

 

d.                  Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, each Subscriber further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:

i.There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or a qualified offering statement under Regulation A (“Regulation A”) of the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement or qualified offering statement; or
ii.The Subscriber shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, such Subscriber shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, provided that no such opinion shall be required for dispositions in compliance with Rule 144, except in unusual circumstances.
iii.Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by such Subscriber to a partner (or retired partner) or member (or retired member) of such Subscriber in accordance with partnership or limited liability company interests, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were Subscribers hereunder.

e.                   Accredited Investor Status. Each Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act.

 

4.Further Agreements

a.                   Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the following registration rights to each Subscriber.

i.Registration Statement. The Company shall file with the SEC not later than ninety (90) days after the date of the final Closing a registration statement on an appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Shares and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective within one hundred eighty (180) days following the final Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, in the best interest of the Company and otherwise required (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly: (i) notify the Subscribers in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Subscribers) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any issue that makes disclosure of the material, non-public information not in the best interests of the Company.

4

 

 

ii.Registration Procedures. In connection with the Registration Statement, the Company will:
1.Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective with respect to the Subscriber until all the Shares owned by such Subscriber may be resold without restriction under the Securities Act; and
2.Immediately notify the Subscribers when the prospectus included in the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. If the Company notifies the Subscribers to suspend the use of any prospectus until the requisite changes to such prospectus have been made, then the Subscribers shall suspend use of such prospectus. In such event, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to update such prospectus as promptly as is practicable.
iii.Provision of Documents etc. In connection with the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws. The Company may require the Subscriber, upon five business days’ notice, to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to, among other things, the number of Shares and the number of other shares of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned by such Subscriber and the person that has voting and dispositive control over such shares. The Subscriber covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable, in connection with sales of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.
iv.Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this section, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees of transfer agents and registrars are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of the Shares, including any fees and disbursements of any counsel to the Subscriber, are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement. Selling Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement shall be borne by the applicable Subscriber.
v.Indemnification and Contribution.
1.The Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each Subscriber, and, as applicable, each officer of each Subscriber, each director of each Subscriber, and each other person, if any, who controls each Subscriber within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Subscriber or such other person (a “controlling person”) may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (“Claims”) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances when made, and will, subject to the limitations herein, reimburse such Subscriber and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to a Subscriber to the extent that any Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in conformity with information furnished by such Subscriber or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in the Registration Statement or related prospectus, as amended or supplemented.

5

 
2.Each Subscriber severally but not jointly will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each underwriter, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company against all Claims to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that such Subscriber will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such Subscriber, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Subscriber specifically for use in the Registration Statement or related prospectus, as amended or supplemented.
3.Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this section and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this section except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this section for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding affected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
4.In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) a Subscriber, or any controlling person of a Subscriber, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this section but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this section provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Subscriber or controlling person of the Subscriber in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this section, then, and in each such case, the Company and the Subscriber will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in a manner that reflects, as near as practicable, the economic effect of the foregoing provisions of this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6

 

 

vi.Delivery of Unlegended Shares.
1.Within three business days (such business day, the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Shares have been sold either pursuant to, and in compliance with, the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (ii) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the Subscriber and Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (A) shall deliver the Shares so sold without any restrictive legends relating to the Securities Act (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (B) shall cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the unsold Shares, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date. Transfer fees shall be the responsibility of the Subscriber.
2.In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of a Subscriber, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date but is subject to the cooperation of the Subscriber’s broker (the so-called DTC participant).
3.The Subscriber, severally and not jointly, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Shares as set forth in this section is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Subscriber will sell any Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

b.                  “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Subscriber agrees that such Subscriber shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Subscriber (other than those included in the registration) during the 180-day period following the effective date of the Company’s first firm commitment underwritten public offering of its Common Stock registered under the Securities Act (or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with FINRA Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or similar rule or regulation), provided that all officers and directors of the Company are bound by and have entered into similar agreements. Each Subscriber agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriters that are consistent with the Subscriber’s obligations under Section 4(b) or that are necessary to give further effect to this Section 4(b). In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Subscriber shall provide, within 10 days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Act. The obligations described in this Section 4(b) shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future.

c.                   Further Assurances. Each Subscriber agrees and covenants that at any time and from time to time it will promptly execute and deliver to the Company such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Company may reasonably require to carry out the full intent and purpose of this Agreement and to comply with state or federal securities laws or other regulatory approvals.

Item 8.01Other Events

 

On November 22, 2017, the Board of Directors of Aerkomm Inc. (the “Company”) ratified the Company’s entering into a consulting agreement dated November 15, 2017 (the “Agreement”) with Integra Consulting Group LLC (“Integra”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Integra will provide certain investor relations services to the Company for an initial period of six months. As partial consideration for Integra’s services, the Company has agreed to issue to Integra 100,000 restricted shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). If the Company decides to extend the term of the Agreement for an additional six months, the Company will issue an additional 50,000 restricted shares of the Common Stock to Integra. The Company has also agreed to pay Integra a cash fee of $12,500 per month for the duration of the six-month term of the Agreement and for an additional six months if the term of the Agreement is extended.

 

The shares of Common Stock to be issued to Integra under the Agreement will be issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Act. Integra has represented to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and that it will be acquiring the Common Stock for its own account, for long term investment and not with a view toward resale or distribution, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
