Exhibit 10.2

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

To:       Terry M. Phillips:

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 12, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), establishes the terms of your continued employment with SouthPeak Interactive Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

1.Employment Duties. You and the Company agree to your employment as Chairman on the terms contained herein. In such position, you will report directory to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Direct Report”). You agree to perform whatever duties the Direct Report may assign you from time to time that are reasonably consistent with your position. During your employment, you agree to devote your full business time, attention, and energies to performing those duties (except as the Company may otherwise agree).

2.Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of three years, commencing as of the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 7 below. This Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods thereafter (the initial term and each such renewal period are collectively referred to as the “Term”) unless, at least three months prior to the expiration of the initial term or any such renewal period, either party gives written notice to the other party specifically electing to terminate this Agreement at the end of the then-current initial term or renewal period, as applicable (a “Notice of Non-Renewal”). In the event a Notice of Non-Renewal is delivered by either party as provided above then, as of the end of the Term, unless you are no longer an employee of the Company as of such time, you shall become an at-will employee of the Company (provided that the provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive termination shall continue to apply to you).

3.Compensation.

(a)Salary. For all services rendered by you under this Agreement, the Company will pay you an annual salary (the “Salary”) of not less than US$100,000, which may be increased, but not decreased, from time to time in such amounts as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the compensation committee thereof, in accordance with its generally applicable payroll practices.

(b)Bonus. In addition to your Salary, you shall be eligible during the Term to receive an annual bonus (the “Bonus”) based on the Company’s achievement of its financial performance goals, as determined by the Board or its compensation committee. Any such Bonus earned hereunder will be paid within 90 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year. You must be employed at the end of the applicable fiscal year in order to receive any Bonus to which you are otherwise entitled pursuant to the terms of this Section 3(b).

(c)Equity. You shall be eligible to receive equity awards under any incentive compensation, stock option or other equity plans of the Company now in effect or which may be in effect at any time during the Term, subject to the discretion of the Board or any committee thereof designated to administer any such plan.

4.Employee Benefits. During the Term, the Company will provide you with the same benefits as it makes generally available from time to time to the Company’s senior executives, as those benefits are amended or terminated from time to time. Your participation in the Company’s benefit plans will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and the Company’s generally applied policies, and the Company, in its sole discretion, may adopt, modify, interpret, or discontinue such plans or policies.

5.Vacation. You shall accrue at least four weeks of paid vacation per year. All terms and conditions of your vacation benefit will be governed by the Company’s policies in effect from time to time.

6.Expenses. The Company will reimburse you for reasonable travel and other business-related expenses you incur for the Company in performing your duties under this Agreement. You must itemize and substantiate all requests for reimbursement and submit such reimbursement requests in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time.

7.No Other Employment. While the Company employs you, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, provide services to any person or organization for which you receive compensation or otherwise engage in activities that would conflict or interfere significantly with your faithful performance of your duties as an employee without the Board’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may (a) make and manage personal passive business investments of your choice and serve in any director or similar type capacity with up to three civic, educational or charitable organizations, or any trade association, without seeking or obtaining the approval of the Board, provided such activities do not materially interfere or conflict with the performance of your duties hereunder, and (b) with the approval of the Board, serve on the boards of directors of other corporations.

8.Termination. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8 and of Section 9, you and the Company agree that it may terminate your employment, or you may resign, prior to the expiration of the Term, except that, if you voluntarily resign, you must provide the Company with 30 days’ prior written notice (unless the Board or your Direct Report has previously waived such notice in writing or authorized a shorter notice period).

(a)For Cause. The Company may terminate your employment for “Cause” if you:

(i)commit a material breach of (A) your obligations or agreements under this Agreement or (B) any of the covenants regarding non-disclosure of confidential information, assignment of intellectual property rights, non-competition and/or non-solicitation (collectively, “Restrictive Covenants”) applicable to you under any stock option agreement or other agreement entered into (whether before, on or after the date hereof) between you and the Company;

(ii)willfully neglect or fail to perform your material duties or responsibilities to the Company, such that the business or reputation of the Company is (or is threatened to be) materially and adversely affected;

- 2 -

(iii)commit an act of embezzlement, theft, fraud or any other act of dishonesty involving the Company or any of its customers; or

(iv)are convicted of or plead guilty or no contest to a felony or other crime that involves moral turpitude.

Your termination for Cause will be effective immediately upon the Company’s mailing or written transmission of notice of such termination. Before terminating your employment for Cause under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will specify in writing to you the nature of the breach, act, omission, refusal, or failure that it deems to constitute Cause and give you 30 days after you receive such notice to the correct the situation (and thus avoid termination for Cause), if such situation is capable of being corrected, unless the Company agrees to extend the time for correction.

(b)Without Cause. Subject to the applicable provisions in Sections 9 below, the Company may terminate your employment under this Agreement before the end of the Term without Cause.

(c)Disability. If you become disabled (as defined below), the Company may terminate your employment. You are “disabled” if you are unable, despite whatever reasonable accommodations the law requires, to render services to the Company for more than 90 consecutive days because of physical or mental disability, incapacity, or illness. You are also “disabled” if you are found to be disabled within the meaning of the Company’s long-term disability insurance coverage as then in effect (or would be so found if you applied for the coverage or benefits).

(d)Death. If you die during the Term, the Term will end as of the date of your death.

9.Consequences of Termination Prior to the Expiration of the Term.

(a)Payments on Termination. If you resign or the Company terminates your employment with or without Cause or because of disability or death, the Company will pay you any unpaid portion of your Salary pro-rated through the date of actual termination, reimburse any substantiated but unreimbursed business expenses, pay any accrued and unused vacation time (to the extent consistent with the Company’s policies), and provide such other benefits as applicable laws or the terms of the benefits require. Except to the extent the law requires otherwise or as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in your option, restricted stock or other equity instrument agreements, neither you nor your beneficiary or estate will have any rights or claims under this Agreement or otherwise to receive severance or any other compensation, or to participate in any other plan, arrangement, or benefit, after such termination or resignation.

(b)Termination Due to Disability. If your employment is terminated prior to the end of the Term due to disability, as determined in accordance with Section 8(c), the Company shall, in addition to the payments set forth in Section 9(a), continue to pay your Salary, as then in effect, for a period of 3 months after the date of termination of your employment (after which time the Company shall have no further obligation to pay Salary hereunder).

- 3 -

(c)Termination by the Company Without Cause. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if before the end of the Term the Company terminates your employment without Cause (other than as a result of your death or disability), you shall be entitled to the following, in addition to the payments set forth in Section 9(a):

(i)the Company shall continue to pay your Salary, as then in effect, for a period of 3 months after the date of termination of your employment (the “Separation Period”) (after which time the Company shall have no further obligation to pay Salary hereunder); and

(ii)the Company shall provide you and your beneficiaries, throughout the Separation Period and at the Company’s expense, with continued coverage under the group medical care, disability and life insurance benefit plans or arrangements in which you are participating at the time of termination; provided, however, that if such coverage is precluded by the terms of the Company’s benefit or insurance policies, the Company shall make a cash payment to you in an amount sufficient to allow you to obtain comparable benefits for such period; and provided, further, that the Company’s obligation to provide such coverage shall be terminated if you obtain equivalent substitute coverage from another employer at any time during the Separation Period.

(d)Conditions to Separation of Employment Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it shall be a condition to the Company’s continued obligations under Sections 9(b) and (c) hereof that you comply with, and you agree to return any payments previously made to you under Sections 9(b) and (c) hereof if you fail to comply with, any Restrictive Covenants applicable to you. You are not required to mitigate amounts payable under this Section 9(d) by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor must you return to the Company amounts earned under subsequent employment.
