This Agreement is entered into as of the 1st day of December 2009, between
Seymour Village Management Incorporated (“the Company”) and Jeff’s Decks
Incorporated (“the Contractor”).

WITNESS THEREFORE that in consideration of the sum of Ten ($10.00) Dollars

now paid by each party to the other (the receipt and sufficiency whereof is by
each hereby acknowledged) and in consideration of the mutual promises
contained herein, the parties agree, one with the other, as follows:

1. Independent Contractor. Subject to the terms and conditions of this

Agreement, the Company hereby engages the Contractor as an independent
contractor to perform the services set forth herein, and the Contractor hereby
accepts such engagement.

2. Duties, Term and Compensation. The Contractor’s duties, term of

engagement, compensation and provisions for payment thereof shall be set
forth in the estimate previously provided to the Company by the Contractor
and which is attached as Schedule A and Schedule B.

3. Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, the Contractor shall bill and
the Company shall reimburse him for all reasonable and approved out-of-
pocket expenses which are incurred in connection with the performance of
the duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, expenses for the time
spent by the Contractor in traveling to and from Company facilities shall not
be reimbursable.

4. Confidentiality. The Contractor acknowledges that during the engagement

he will have access to and become acquainted with processes, information,
records, and specifications owned by the Company and/or used by the
Company in connection with the operation of its business including, without
limitation, the Company’s business processes, methods, owner lists, accounts
and procedures. The Contractor agrees that he will not disclose any of the
aforesaid, directly or indirectly, or use any of them in any manner, either
during the term of this Agreement, or at any time thereafter, except as
required in the course of this engagement with the Company. All files, written
or electronic, records, documents, blueprints, specifications, information,
letters, notes, notebooks and similar items relating to the business of the
Company, whether prepared by the Contractor or otherwise coming into his
possession, shall remain the exclusive property of the Company. The
Contractor shall not retain any copies of the foregoing without the Company’s
prior written permission. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement, or whenever requested by the Company, the Contractor shall
immediately deliver to the Company all such files, written or electronic,
records, documents, blueprints, specifications, information, letters, notes and
 notebooks and other items in his possession or under his control. The
Contractor further agrees that he will not disclose his retention as an
independent contractor or the terms of this Agreement to any person without
the prior written consent of the Company and shall at all times preserve the
confidential nature of his relationship to the Company and of the services
hereunder.

5. Conflicts of Interest; Non-hire Provision. The Contractor represents that

he is free to enter into this Agreement and that this engagement does not
violate the terms of any agreement between the Contractor and any third
party. During the term of this Agreement, the Contractor shall devote his
productive time, energy and abilities to the performance of his duties
hereunder as is necessary to perform the required duties in a timely and
productive manner. For a period of 6 months following termination, the
Contractor shall not directly or indirectly, hire, solicit or encourage to leave the
Company’s employment, any contractor of the Company for a period of up to
one year.

6. Right to Injunction. The parties hereto acknowledge that the services to be

rendered by the Contractor under this Agreement and the rights and
privileges granted to the Company under this Agreement are of a special,
unique, unusual, and extraordinary character which gives them a peculiar
value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by
damages in any action of law, and the breach by the Contractor of any of the
provisions of this Agreement will cause the Company irreparable injury and
damage. The Contractor expressly agrees that the Company shall be entitled
to injunctive and other equitable relief in the event of, or to prevent, a breach
of any provision of this Agreement by the Contractor. Resort to such
equitable relief, however, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other
rights or remedies that the Company may have for damages or otherwise.
The various rights and remedies of the Company under this Agreement or
otherwise shall be construed to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be
exclusive of any other or of any right or remedy allowed by law.

7. Termination. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time by 10

working days’ written notice to the Contractor. In addition, if the Contactor is
convicted of any crime or offense, fails or refuses to comply with Schedule A
and Schedule B or reasonable directive of the Company, is guilty of serious
misconduct in connection with performance hereunder, or materially breaches
provisions of this Agreement, the Company at any time may terminate the
engagement of the Contractor immediately and without prior written notice to
the Contractor.

8. Independent Contractor. This Agreement shall not render the Contractor an

employee, partner, agent of, or joint venturer with the Company for any
purpose. The Contractor is and will remain an independent contractor in his
 relationship to the Company. The Company shall not be responsible for
withholding taxes with respect to the Contractor’s compensation hereunder.
The Contractor shall have no claim against the Company hereunder or
otherwise for vacation pay, sick leave, retirement benefits, worker’s
compensation, health or disability benefits, unemployment insurance benefits,
or employee benefits of any kind.

9. Insurance. The Contractor will carry liability insurance relative to any service
that he performs for the Company.

10. Successors and Assigns. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, if any, successors, and assigns.

11. Choice of Law. The laws of the province of British Columbia shall govern the
validity of this agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation
of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.

12. Headings. Section headings are not to be considered a part of this

Agreement and are not intended to be a full and accurate description of the
contents hereof.

13. Waiver. Waiver by one party hereto of breach of any provision of this
Agreement by the other shall not operate or be construed as a continuing
waiver.

14. Assignment. The Contractor shall not assign any of his rights under this
Agreement, or delegate the performance of any of his duties hereunder,
without the prior written consent of the Company.

15. Notices. Any and all notices, demands, or other communications required or
