the "Consultants").
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has adopted a
written compensation agreement for compensation of two individual
Consultants who are natural persons; and
WHEREAS, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has engaged the Consultants to provide
services at the request of and subject to the satisfaction of its

WHEREAS, the Consultants have provided services at the

WHEREAS, a general description of the nature of the
services performed and to be performed by the Consultants and the
maximum value of such services under this Plan are listed in the
Counterpart Signature Pages and exhibits thereto; and
WHEREAS, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Consultants intend that this
Plan and the services performed hereunder shall be made, requested and
performed in such a manner that this Plan shall be a "written
compensation agreement" as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("Commission") pursuant to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may issue
"freely tradeable" shares (except as may be limited by "affiliate"
status) of its common stock as payment for services rendered pursuant to
an S-8 Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission by
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
and promises contained herein, it is agreed:
Section 1
Compensation Plan
1.1 Employment. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby employs the Consultants and
the consultants hereby accept such employment, and have and will perform
the services requested by management of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to its satisfaction
during the term hereof. The services performed by the Consultants
hereunder have been and will be personally rendered by the Consultants,
and no one acting for or on behalf of the Consultants, except those
persons normally employed by the consultants in rendering services to
others, such as secretaries, bookkeepers and the like.
1.2 Independent Contractors. Regardless of the Consultants'
status as "employees" under Rule 405 of the Commission, all services
rendered by the Consultants hereunder have been rendered as independent
contractors, and the Consultants shall be liable for any FICA taxes,
withholding or other similar taxes or charges, and the Consultants shall
indemnify and hold ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ harmless therefrom; it is understood and
agreed that the value of all such items has been taken into account by
the Consultants in computing the billable rate for the services the
Consultants have rendered and agreed to render to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
1.3 Term. All services performed at the request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
by the Consultants shall have been performed within: (1) as to ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
one year from the date hereof, at which time this Plan shall terminate,
unless extended by written agreement of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for one
additional year; (2) as to ▇▇▇▇▇, 120 days, at which time the Plan shall
terminate. If the Plan shall terminate, and options for unearned shares
have been exercised and said shares issued to either consultant pursuant
to this Plan, said shares shall be returned by Consultant(s) and
canceled by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ within ten days of said termination.
1.4 Payment. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Consultants agree that
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay the invoices of the Consultants for the services
performed under this Plan by the issuance of shares of its common stock
at a price of $1.00 per share; provided, however, such shares of common
stock shall be issued pursuant to and shall be subject to the filing
and effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering such
shares with the Commission.
1.5 Invoices for Services. Each of the Consultants shall
provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with a written invoice detailing the services duly
performed and/or the retainer or flat fee for such services. Such
invoice(s) shall be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with Section 1.4
above, subject to the satisfaction of the management of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that
the services have been performed, and to the extent performed, that the
performance was in a satisfactory manner. The submission of an invoice
for the services performed by each of the Consultants shall be deemed to
be a subscription by the respective Consultants to purchase shares of
common stock of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ at the price outlined in Section 1.4 above,
subject only to the filing and effectiveness of a Registration Statement
on Form S-8 covering such shares with the Commission.
1.6 Common Stock Price. To the extent deemed required or
necessary and for all purposes of this Plan, the Consultants shall have
an "option" covering such shares of common stock at the per share price
set forth in paragraph 1.4 above during the term hereof; the Consultants
assume the risk of any decrease in the per share price or value of the
shares of common stock of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that may be issued by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for
services performed by the Consultants hereunder, and the Consultants
agree that any such decrease shall in no way affect the rights,
obligations or duties of the Consultants hereunder.
1.7 Limitation on Services. None of the services rendered by
the Consultants and paid for by the issuance of shares of common stock
of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be services related to any "capital raising"
transaction.
1.8 Delivery of Shares. On submission of an invoice by the
respective Consultants, and duly verified to the satisfaction of
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and subject to the filing and effectiveness of a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 of the Commission covering such shares, one or
more stock certificates representing such shares shall be delivered to
the respective Consultants at the addresses listed on the Counterpart
Signature Pages, unless another address shall be provided to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in
writing prior to the issuance of such shares.
1.9 Adjustments in the Number of Shares of Common Stock and
Price Per Share. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Consultants agree that the per share
price of shares of common stock that may be issued by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the
Consultants for services performed under this Plan has been arbitrarily
set by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; however, in the event ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall undergo a merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, declare a stock
dividend of its shares of common stock or cause to be implemented a
forward or reverse stock split which affects the present number of
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ prior to the
issuance of shares to the Consultants, that the per share price and the
number of shares issuable to the Consultants for services actually
rendered hereunder after such event shall be appropriately adjusted to
reflect any such event.
1.10 Effective Date. The Effective Date of the Plan for each
of the Consultants shall be the date set forth on the respective
Counterpart Signature Pages.
1.11 Conditions. The Plan is subject to the following
condition, to-wit:
The number of shares of common stock to be issued under
the Plan shall in no event exceed 3% of the total issued and outstanding
shares of common stock of the Company.
