provides for an annual base salary of $240,000 and the issuance of 2,000,000
shares of the Company's restricted common stock, no par value, to Mr. King;

year ending December of the prior year, whichever amount is greater.
If Mr. King's employment is terminated prior to the end of the term (i) by the
Company without Cause, (ii) by Mr. King for Good Reason, or (iii) by reason of
Mr. King's death or disability (as defined in the employment agreement), the
employment agreement provides that the Company is required to pay a lump sum
amount, in cash, equal to $240,000.00, plus certain additional benefits to which
