EXHIBIT “B”

TO

CONSULTING AGREEMENT WITH

DYLAN HUNT AND KAITLIN APPELL (CONSULTANT)

COMPENSATION TO BE PAID BY TO CONSULTANT

As full payment for Consultant’s services under the Consulting Agreement to which this Exhibit “B” relates, Consultant shall receive compensation, as follows:

For purposes of the Agreement, the term “Net Sales” shall be calculated, as follows:

Total gross sales less sales tax collected, less Square® processing fees paid, less shipping charges collects, equals “Net Sales.” By way of example only, assuming total gross sales of $250.00, sales tax collected of $20.00, Square® processing fees paid of $8.00 and $7.00 of shipping charges collected, “Net Sales” would equal $215.00. Thus, Consultant would be paid a sum of cash equal to $10.75 ($215.00 x 5% = $10.75).
