On December 10, 2014, the Company and GTC entered into a Separation Agreement with David Phipps whereby he resigned his employment and all positions as an officer or director with GTC but agreed to provide, among other things, various transitional services to the Company to assist in the running of the business of GTC on initially a full-time basis, but then on a part-time as needed basis, in return for a transitional services payment of $25,000. In the Separation Agreement, Mr. Phipps agreed to waive his rights to all amounts owed to him by GTC or the Company other than fifty percent of any employment compensation owed at the time of the deal, and in return for that and a full release of the Company and GTC, GTC and the Company released Mr. Phipps from various obligations, including his non-competition obligations, pursuant to his employment agreement and a Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 25, 2011.

(the “Preferred Stock”) held by the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $475,000.

On December 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Cancellation and Assignment Agreement (the “Share Cancellation Agreement”) with Denville and Dover Fund LLC (“Denville”).  Pursuant to the Share Cancellation Agreement, Denville (i) returned 31,428,571 shares of the Company’s common stock for cancellation, (ii) terminated its right of first refusal on future financings, its registration rights, certain anti-dilution rights, and various other rights pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 5, 2014 between the parties, and (iii) terminated a Consulting Agreement between the parties dated May 5, 2014.

THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 10th day of December, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) by and among David Phipps (“Phipps”), World Surveillance Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Global Telesat Corp., a Virginia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“GTC,” and together with Phipps and the Company, the “Parties”).
 
WHEREAS, Phipps is employed as the President and Chief Executive Officer of GTC, and he also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of GTC;
 
WHEREAS, the Company, GTC, Great West Resources, Inc. and Orbital Satcom Corp. have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the “Asset Purchase Agreement); and
 
WHEREAS, GTC, the Company and Phipps desire to enter into this Agreement providing for Phipps’s amicable resignation from GTC’s employment, and to provide for Phipps’ continued services as a consultant to the Company following termination in order to assure a smooth transition.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:
 
1. Termination Date.  Phipps acknowledges that his last day of employment with GTC will be the Effective Date, or such other later date mutually agreed upon between the Company and Phipps (the “Termination Date”). Phipps further understands and agrees that, as of the Termination Date, he will be no longer authorized to conduct any business on behalf of GTC or the Company as an executive or to hold himself out as an officer, director or employee of GTC or the Company (other than as agreed to by the Parties during the Transitional Period), except as otherwise provided herein.  Any and all positions and/or titles held by Phipps with GTC or the Company will be deemed to have been resigned as of the Termination Date.
 
2. Transition Services.   (i) During the thirty (30) day period following the Termination Date or such longer period as the Parties may agree upon in writing (such longer period not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days) (the “Initial Transitional Period”), Phipps agrees that he shall help run the business of GTC by providing general business and consulting services to GTC and the Company and  assisting in all transitional needs and activities of GTC and the Company (the “Transitional Services”) on a full-time basis, and then shall provide Transitional Services on a part-time basis for an additional thirty (30) day period thereafter (the “Follow-on Transitional Period,” and together with the Initial Transitional Period, the “Transitional Period”), upon the reasonable request of GTC or the Company.  Phipps shall not be required to travel outside the U.K. to provide any Transitional Services, unless agreed to by Phipps.
 
 
 
 

 
 
(ii)  During the Transitional Period, Phipps agrees that he shall cause Global Telesat Communications, Ltd. (“GTCL”) to assist GTC and the Company in all transitional needs and activities of GTC and the Company upon the reasonable request of GTC or the Company, including but not limited to, assisting to transfer or procure all operational licenses necessary for the continued business of GTC and the servicing and fulfillment of orders as necessary; provided, however, that Phipps does not guarantee any licenses can or will be obtained.
 
(iii)           During the Transitional Period, Phipps will cause GTCL to use its best efforts to maintain a similar level of stock purchases from GTC as its current levels.
 
(iv)           Phipps shall be paid $25,000 for the Transitional Services by GTC or the Company within ten (10) days of the Termination Date, provided, however, that if such payment is not made by GTC or the Company within this period set forth herein, this Section 2 shall become null and void.
 
3.           Release of Non-Compete and Confidentiality.  In consideration of the release set forth in Section 4 below and for good and other consideration, (i) GTC and the Company shall as of the Termination Date release Phipps from (x) the non-competition, intellectual property and non-solicitation covenants and provisions set forth in his Employment Agreement dated May 25, 2011 (the “Employment Agreement”) and in the Stock Purchase Agreement among GTC, Growth Enterprise Fund, S.A., the Company and Phipps dated May 25, 2011 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), as such covenants and provisions relate solely to Phipps’ potential employment or engagement by either Great West Resources, Inc. or Orbital Satcom Corp. or their respective successors or affiliates following the Termination Date, provided, however, that for all other purposes, such non-competition, intellectual property and non-solicitation covenants and provisions remain in full force and effect and binding on Phipps for the periods set forth therein, and (y) any confidentiality obligations of Phipps to GTC or the Company as such provisions or obligations relate solely and exclusively to the Purchased Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) and (ii) upon the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity or substantially all of the assets of Global Telesat Communications Ltd.,  GTC and the Company shall, without limitation or restriction (including the restrictions set forth in clause (i) hereto), release Phipps from all of the non-competition, intellectual property and non-solicitation covenants and provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement.

6. Applicable Law, Venue and Jury Trial Waiver.  This Agreement, the construction, interpretation, and enforcement hereof, and the rights of the Parties hereto with respect to all matters arising hereunder or related hereto shall be determined under, governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York located in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives any objection that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
