(a) Vesting. The Shares provided under the Award shall irrevocably vest, in whole or in part, according to the following vesting schedule (the “Vesting Schedule”):
(i) | For every $1 million in gross sales realized by the Company, twenty percent (20%) of the total number of Shares granted under the Award shall vest; |
(ii) | Fro these vesting purposes, the Company’s gross sales shall be counted cummatively without reference to time or resetting each year or any other period. |
(b) Cancellation. Notwithstanding the Vesting Schedule provided above, in the event that the Executive does not continue to be employed as an executive of the Company prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of this Award, all of the Shares shall immediately be cancelled.
3. Lock-Up Period. Executive hereby agrees that, if so requested by the Company in connection with any registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, Executive shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company during the 180-day period (or such other period as may be requested in writing by the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the “Market Standoff Period”) following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Nevada.
6. No Guarantee of Continued Service.
(a) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of the Shares pursuant to the Vesting Schedule hereof is earned only by continuing as a service provider at the will of the Company (not through the act of being hired, being granted this option or acquiring shares hereunder). Executive further acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Vesting Schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as a service provider for the vesting period, for any period, or at all, and shall not interfere in any way with Executive’s right or the Company’s right to terminate Executive’s relationship as a service provider at any time, with or without cause.
