WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to modify the Agreement for the mutual benefit of both parties;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, undertakings and representations contained herein, and intending to be legally bound thereby, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

Effective February 1, 2010, the Company and the Executive agreed to reduce the Executive’s annual base salary to $200,000, which was to be increased to the original $275,000 per annum upon raising sufficient capital that would provide the Company the ability to pay the original base salary of $275,000.
 
Effective November 1, 2011, the Company and the Executive agree to reduce the Executive’s annual base salary to $0 until the Company has raised sufficient capital, as determined by the Company’s board of directors, that will provide the Company the ability to pay either the original base salary of $275,000 or the reduced base salary of $200,000 or some other amount as mutually agreed upon by the Executive and the Company’s board of directors.
