Weekends and holidays will not be considered a trading a day. In determining the closing price for a trading day when the shares did not trade the closing price for the prior day or days prior to that will be used. The calculation will be made on August 5, 2008 and the exact number of shares will then be determined. The shares must be issued prior to August 30, 2008.
Upon receipt of the Shares as payment in full of the $214,608.15 in debt being carried on Creditor's books from Debtor the Creditor will have no claim to any past due salary for the period of January 1, 2006 through July 31, 2008. Upon execution of this Agreement and the subsequent calculation as set forth herein and issuance of the Shares the transaction will close (the "Closing"), subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, and on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, Debtor shall transfer to Creditor the Shares and the Debt will be paid in full.
