earlier terminated by either party upon prior written notice. to

following compensation and benefits:

A base salary at an annual rate of $200,000, which will be
reviewed at least annually, and may be increased at the sole
discretion of the Board.
An annual incentive bonus of up to $50,000 for the 2017
calendar year, $25,000 of which is guaranteed and the

A stock option to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock
as described below.
Four weeks paid vacation annually and reimbursement for
eligible expenses.
Eligibility to participate in the Companys benefit plans that
are generally provided for all employees.

to its terms and conditions, the Employment Agreement may be
terminated by the Company (i) upon Ms. Krandels death or
permanent disability, (ii) for Cause (as defined in the
Employment Agreement) or (iii) without Cause upon prior written
notice to Ms. Krandel. The Employment Agreement may be terminated
by Ms. Krandel (i) for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment
Agreement) or (ii) other than for Good Reason, upon prior written
notice to the Company.

If the Company terminates Ms. Krandel for any reason she is
entitled to her earned but unpaid base salary through the date of
termination, any amounts to which she is entitled under the
Companys benefit plans and any unreimbursed reasonable business
expenses (the Termination Benefits).
Additionally, if more than six months after the effective date of
the Employment Agreement, the Company terminates Ms. Krandel
without Cause or Ms. Krandel terminates her employment for Good
Reason or if the termination occurs prior to or during the one
year period following a change in control, she is entitled to
three months of her then-current base salary in addition to the
Termination Benefits described above, subject to a general
release of claims in favor of the Company and compliance with
certain other restrictive covenants in the Employment Agreement.

In connection with Ms. Krandels appointment as Chief Financial
Officer, the Board granted Ms. Krandel a stock option to purchase
5,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise
price equal to $0.13 per share, which was the fair market value
of a share of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The
stock option is subject to the terms and conditions of a stock
option agreement, which provides that the stock option will vest
