In consideration of their professional services, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Hall $4,375 per month and has agreed to pay Ms. Fox $2,115 per month. The Company will also reimburse the Officers for mileage and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. The service agreements will terminate on March 8, 2012. Either the Company or the Officers may terminate the agreements with or without cause by giving fifteen days prior written notice to the other party. The Officers have agreed to indemnify the Company from damages arising out of their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company will indemnify the Officers from damages arising out of the performance of their duties under the agreements, except in cases of the Officers’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.
