2.
Extent of Duties. Consultant shall devote such of Consultant's business time, attention and efforts as are reasonably necessary
to the performance of Consultant's duties under this Agreement, and shall perform such duties faithfully and diligently and shall

for a period of six (6) months, unless and until terminated by either party giving written notice to the other not less than thirty
(30) days prior to the end of the then current term. Notwithstanding any termination pursuant to this Section 4, the Consultant
shall have nonetheless earned in full and shall be entitled to receive all of the Compensation provided in Section 3 above.


 


5.
Consultant Not to Perform Broker-Dealer or Investment Advisor Functions. The Parties acknowledge that Consultant is NOT
a state or federally registered or licensed securities broker-dealer or agent of a registered or licensed securities broker-dealer,
nor is it or anyone associated with it a licensed or registered securities broker-dealer or investment advisor or affiliated with
one in any way. Not having such registrations, licenses or qualifications, the Company and Consultant agree and acknowledge that
Consultant will not perform, or be expected or obligated to perform, any broker-dealer or investment advisor functions or services
pursuant to Consultant’s obligations hereunder. This includes but is not limited to participating in any type of money raising
activities, either directly or indirectly. For example, whatever due diligence that must be undertaken by the Company in order
to partake of or engage in a financing transaction of some kind over the term of this Agreement, such will NOT involve or be the
responsibility of Consultant. In addition, all compensation received or to be received by Consultant hereunder shall under no
circumstances be construed as a “brokerage commission.”


 


6.
Competition and Confidential Information.


 


(a)   
Non-Competition. During the period of Consultant's engagement by Company and the period ending twelve (12) months
after the termination of Consultant's engagement by Company, regardless of the reason therefor, Consultant shall not (whether

in any other capacity) perform any duties for or engage or become financially interested in any competitive business. As used

the term of Consultant's engagement hereunder, any Confidential Information, except as required in the performance of Consultant's
duties on behalf of Company pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that Deworth,

other reproductions or materials of any kind; any trade secrets, knowledge or information with respect to processes, inventions,
formulae, machinery, manufacturing techniques or know-how; any business methods or forms; any names or addresses of customers
or data on customers or suppliers; and any business policies or other information relating to or dealing with the purchasing,
production, sales or distribution policies or practices of Company. Any material deemed “Confidential Information”
shall be provided to the Consultant with that express designation or stamp so that Consultant knows exactly what material meets
that definition. 


 


(c)   
Return of Books and Papers. Upon the termination of Consultant's engagement with Company for any reason and upon
request of Company and assuming he has received “Confidential Information” from Company so marked and designated as
set forth in the preceding subsection, Consultant shall promptly return to Company all materials which have been so designated
by the Company as such and previously furnished Consultant as “Confidential Information” relating to the business
of Company, which Consultant may then have in his possession .


 


(d)   
Disclosure of Information. Consultant shall disclose promptly to Company, or its nominee, any and all ideas, designs,
processes and improvements of any kind relating to the business of Company, whether patentable or not, conceived or made by Consultant,

Company.


 


(e)   
Equitable Relief. In the event a violation of the Confidential Information provisions contained in this paragraph
is established, Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an equitable accounting
of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation, which right shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other rights or remedies to which Company may be entitled. In the event of a violation of any provision of subparagraph (a) or
(d) of this paragraph, the period for which those provisions would remain in effect shall be extended for a period of time equal
to that period beginning when such violation commenced and ending when the activities constituting such violation shall have been
finally terminated in good faith.


 


(f)   
Restrictions Separable. Each and every restriction set forth in this paragraph is independent and severable from
the others, and no restriction shall be rendered unenforceable by virtue of the fact that, for any reason, any other or others
of them may be unenforceable in whole or in part.
