·                  Other consulting services as determined by Warren and you by mutual consent.

Compensation for your services will be $10,000.00 per month, paid quarterly in arrears.

The effective date of this agreement shall be July 10, 2014 with an ending date of July 10, 2015, with automatic successive annual renewals, unless terminated in writing by either party. Either party may terminate the agreement for any or no reason at any time on 3 days written notice.

Please indicate your acceptance of this agreement by signing below and returning to the undersigned.
