materially cured such act or event during the applicable thirty (30) day
notice period.

(30) days advance written notice to the Company setting forth in reasonable
detail the nature of the Good Reason.

to be a consultant or representative of the Company and shall inure to the

bylaws shall be effective to reduce any of the Consultant’s rights to
indemnification, or advancement of costs and expenses, under this
