Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
(e)        Effective as of August 1, 2012, CommerceTel Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with Tim Schatz, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.  The Agreement has an initial term of three years.  Unless terminated at least 90 days prior to the expiration date by either party, the Agreement automatically renews for additional one-year periods.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Schatz will be paid a base salary of $160,000 per annum.  A one time bonus of $2,917 was paid upon signing.  The base salary may be increased based on an annual salary review by the Company’s Board of Directors, commencing on December 31, 2012, and each 12 month period thereafter.  The Company’s Board may also award an annual bonus of up to 30% of the base salary for achieving milestones as defined by the Board from time to time.

Mr. Schatz will also be granted options to purchase 225,000 shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s incentive stock option plan, if and when adopted by the Company. Awards thereunder will be made from time to time at the discretion of the Board.

The Agreement includes a non-compete provision that generally bars Mr. Schatz from soliciting any of the Company’s customers or prospective customers in the United States for a period of two years from the date the Agreement is terminated by the Company for cause, or by Mr. Schatz without good reason as defined in the Agreement.  If the Agreement is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Schatz with good reason, the restrictive period will last until one week after all payments by the Company to Mr. Schatz (as provided in the Agreement) have been made.
