Dear Mr. Kerner:

On behalf of BIG Token, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BIG Token”), I am pleased to offer you the position of Chief Executive Officer of BIG Token and the public company with which the Company shall merge (“Merger”) into (anticipated to be Force Protection Video Equipment Corp.) (“PubCo” and together with BIG Token, the “Company”). Your employment by the Company shall be governed by the following terms and conditions (this “Agreement”):

1. Duties and Scope of Employment.

(a) Position. For the term of your employment under this Agreement (your “Employment”), the Company agrees to employ you in the position of Chief Executive Officer or in such other position as the Company subsequently may assign to you, which shall be of equal or more prominent position as the position of the Chief Executive Officer. You will report to the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”). You will perform the duties and have the responsibilities and authority customarily performed and held by an employee in your position or as otherwise may be assigned or delegated to you by the Company’s Board.

(b) Obligations to the Company. During your Employment, you shall devote majority of your full business efforts and time to the Company. During your Employment, without the prior written approval of the Board, you shall not render services in any capacity to any other person or entity and shall not act as a sole proprietor or partner of any other person or entity or own more than five percent of the stock of any other corporation, except as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that all such activities conducted by you as of the Effective Date (including all boards of directors on which you serve as of the Effective Date) which are listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement, do not interfere with your performance of this Agreement and do not compete with the business of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements, teach at educational institutions, or manage personal investments without such advance written consent, provided that such activities do not individually or in the aggregate interfere with the performance of your duties under this Agreement. You shall comply with the Company’s policies and rules, as they may be in effect from time to time during your Employment.

(c) No Conflicting Obligations. You represent and warrant to the Company that you are under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with your obligations under this Agreement. In connection with your Employment, you shall not use or disclose any trade secrets or other proprietary information or intellectual property in which you or any other person has any right, title or interest and your Employment will not infringe or violate the rights of any other person. You represent and warrant to the Company that you have returned all property and confidential information belonging to any prior employer.

(d) Commencement Date. You shall commence full-time Employment immediately upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 9 hereof (such date on which Employment shall begin is referred to herein as the “Effective Date”).

2. Cash and Incentive Compensation.

(a) Salary. The Company shall pay you as compensation for your services an initial base salary at a gross annual rate of $175,000. Such salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures. The annual compensation specified in this subsection (a), together with any modifications in such compensation that the Company may make from time to time, is referred to in this Agreement as “Base Salary.”

(b) Incentive Bonuses. You will be eligible to be considered for an annual incentive bonus each calendar year during the term of your employment under this Agreement based upon the achievement of certain objective or subjective criteria established by the Board or any Compensation Committee of the Board. The target amount for any such annual incentive bonus will be up to 100% of your Base Salary (“Target Bonus”). The determinations of the Board in good faith with respect to such bonus shall be final and binding. You shall not earn an incentive bonus unless you are employed by the Company on the date when such bonus is payable, unless you are terminated without Cause or you terminate this Agreement for Good Reason. For purposes of determining your bonus, during December of each year, the Board or any Compensation Committee of the Board will determine a performance base line amount (“Performance Base Line”). If you achieve 80% of the Performance Base Line for a given year, you will receive 50% of your Target Bonus for such year. If you achieve your Performance Base Line for a given year, you will receive 100% of your Target Bonus for such year. Your Performance Base Line for you initial year of Employment which commences on January 1, 2021 and ends of December 31, 2021 is $5.5 million of Gross Profit, as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or any Compensation Committee of the Board may grant you a greater bonus amount at their sole and absolute discretion.

(c) Stock Options. Subject to the approval of the Board, upon the Company completing an offering of its securities resulting in gross proceeds of at least $3,000,000 (“Financing”), the Company shall grant you a stock option to purchase five (5) percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, post Financing on a fully diluted basis (the “Option”). The Option shall be granted as soon as reasonably practicable after the completion of the Financing. The exercise price per Option will be: (i) 33.33% will be granted at an imputed Market Capitalization of $15 million, (ii) 33.33% will be granted at an imputed Market Capitalization of $17.5 million, and (iii) the remaining Options will have an exercise price equity to an imputed Market Capitalization of $20 million. The term of the Option shall be 10 years, subject to earlier expiration in the event of the termination of your services to the Company.
