F. KELLY will be appointed to FOMO’s Advisory Board. KELLY will also advise FOMO regarding other potential members of the Advisory Board.
2. Compensation. In consideration of the Services, FOMO shall grant ADVISOR 10,000,000 cashless exercise common stock purchase warrants in FOMO with a three-year expiration and the lower of a $0.001 exercise price or adjusted to the exercise price of warrants awarded to any other ADVISOR prior to expirations. Additional compensation will be discussed on a quarterly basis as circumstances merit.
3. Term. The Term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date of this Agreement and, unless sooner terminated by mutual consent by either party or due to a material breach of this Agreement, shall run for a period of three (3) years.

4. Confidentiality. Advisor shall treat as confidential this Agreement and all non-public proprietary information of FOMO, including any proprietary product information and specifications and financial information (“Confidential Information”) unless Advisor obtains FOMO’s prior written consent. Advisor may neither disclose nor otherwise disseminate any Confidential Information to any person or entity. Moreover, Advisor may not use any Confidential Information for any purposes other than those contemplated by this Agreement. If any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority, Advisor shall timely inform FOMO of all such proceedings so that FOMO may attempt by appropriate legal means to limit such disclosure. In such case, Advisor shall use his best efforts to limit the disclosure and maintain confidentiality to the best extent possible.

Any proposed use of any Licensed Materials that is essentially the same as, and does not materially differ from, a prior approved use shall be deemed acceptable to FOMO; provided, however, that Advisor shall provide FOMO with specimens of such use sufficiently in advance to allow FOMO an effective opportunity to object. Subject only to the foregoing authorization, FOMO shall retain all right, title and interest arising under all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in and to the Licensed Materials.
