On January 11, 2011, we entered into an exclusive employment agreement with V. Scott Vanis to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The agreement is for a term of five years beginning January 11, 2011 and ending January 10, 2016. An Extension to the Term must be agreed upon in writing and executed by the Company and Mr. Vanis no later than 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 10, 2016.
Mr. Vanis will be paid a salary of $180,000 per annum beginning on January 10, 2011. If revenues exceed $10 million, then Mr. Vanis’ salary will be increased to $360,000 per annum. If revenues exceed $20 million, then Mr. Vanis’ salary will be increased to $540,000 per annum.

If Mr. Vanis voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company or if a petition for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is filed by the Company resulting in an adjudication of bankruptcy within 12 months of the date of the agreement, all shares granted will be cancelled. If Mr. Vanis voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company or if a petition for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is filed by the Company resulting in an adjudication of bankruptcy after twelve months and before 24 months of the date of the agreement, Six Million (6,000,000) shares granted to him will be returned.
