“6. COMPENSATION
The Company had originally retained the services of the Executive on an independent contractor basis to advise the Board of Directors and to serve in the capacity as an officer, and had issued shares to the Executive as set forth in the Company’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Executive agrees that this issuance is in lieu of his rights to the issuance set forth in the Agreement.
Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Employee Stock Option Plan of the Company, once the Board of Directors for the Company ratifies and approves. The Company and Executive acknowledge and agree that modification of any compensation structure requires a written document signed by both parties. If for any reason the Agreement is terminated, all compensation and commission due to the Executive, either earned directly or indirect, shall be paid by the Company in full to Executive in accordance with this schedule and the laws of Arizona, and shall be paid in the usual course of Company’s payroll.”
