Preliminary
Statement




GUFR
desires to retain Khaleel, and Khaleel is willing to serve, as a member of the
Board of Directors of GUFR on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth
below, GUFR and Khaleel hereby agree as follows:





1.  Appointment.  The

as a member of the Board of Directors of GUFR, effective as of the date of this
Agreement.





2. Compensation. For the
duties and services to be performed by him under this Agreement, GUFR will pay
to Khaleel, and Khaleel agrees to accept, the compensation described below in
this Section 2.





a.
Directors’ Fees.  GUFR will pay Khaleel a director's fee of $32,500
per annum, payable in equal monthly installments. This fee represents a retainer
for services rendered as a member of its Board of Directors, and is in addition
to any fees to which Khaleel may be entitled under guidelines and rules
established by GUFR from time to time for compensating non-employee directors
for serving on, and attending meetings of, committees of its Board of Directors
and the boards of directors of its subsidiaries.





b. Equity
Component. In addition to the cash fee(s) described in subsection (a), on the
date of this Agreement, GUFR will grant Khaleel options to purchase 25,000
shares of GUFR common stock, which may be exercised immediately. The exercise
price of these options will be the closing sale price of GUFR common stock on
the OTC Bulletin Board on the date of this Agreement.  On October 24,
2008, GUFR will grant Khaleel options to purchase 25,000 shares, which may be
exercised immediately thereafter, with an exercise price of the closing sale
price of GUFR common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on such date of grant,
provided Khaleel is still a director of or otherwise engaged by
GUFR.  On October 24, 2009, GUFR will grant options to purchase 25,000
shares, which may be exercised immediately thereafter, with an exercise price of
the closing sale price of GUFR common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the
date if such grant, provided Khaleel is still a director of or otherwise engaged
by GUFR. The options will be granted under GUFR’s stock option plan, and will be
subject to the terms and conditions of that plan. Subject to the foregoing
provisions and the terms and conditions set forth in the plan, the options may
be exercised until three years from the date of the grant of such options,
except as otherwise provided in the plan.









c. Audit
Committee.   The Board of Directors has appointed Khaleel, and
Khaleel has agreed to serve as, a member of the Audit Committee.





3. Expenses. GUFR will
reimburse Khaleel for reasonable expenses incurred by him in furtherance of his
performance of duties hereunder, provided that such expenses are substantiated
in accordance with GUFR policies applicable to members of its Board of
Directors.





4.  Term and
Termination.





a.
General. The term of this Agreement will commence as of the date the Board of
Directors appoints Khaleel a director of GUFR and will remain in effect as long
as Khaleel continues to serve as a non-employee director of GUFR. GUFR has no
obligation to cause the nomination or recommend the election of Khaleel to the
Board for any period of time in the future. Upon the termination
of  Khaleel's tenure as a member of the Board, GUFR will promptly pay
to  Khaleel, or to his estate if his service is terminated upon his
death, all fees accrued for services rendered as a member of the Board and
committees thereof and expense reimbursements due as of the date of
termination.





5.  Indemnification. GUFR
shall indemnify  Khaleel, as a director of GUFR, to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law against all liabilities and expenses, including
amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines and
penalties, and counsel fees, reasonably incurred by  Khaleel in
connection with the defense or disposition of any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil
or criminal, in which he may be involved or with which he may be threatened,
while an officer or director of GUFR. Expenses (including attorney's fees)
incurred by Khaleel in defending any such action, suit or other proceeding shall
be paid by GUFR in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of him to repay such
amount if it shall be ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by GUFR. The right of indemnification provided herein shall not be
exclusive of or affect any other rights to which Khaleel may be entitled. The
provisions hereof shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for
any reason whatsoever. In the event of any conflict between the provisions
hereof and the indemnification provisions contained in
GUFR's  articles of incorporation or bylaws, or in any agreement
between GUFR and  Khaleel, the terms of such articles, bylaws or
agreement shall govern.





6. Liability Insurance.
In furtherance of its agreement to indemnify Khaleel as provided in section 5
hereof, GUFR will maintain in effect at all times while Khaleel continues to
serve as a member of the Board liability insurance provided by a recognized
carrier covering members of its Board.





7.   Non-Exclusive.
Nothing in this Agreement will prevent  Khaleel (1) from serving as an
employee, officer or director of any other company, provided that such
performance is consistent with  Khaleel's duty of loyalty to GUFR, (2)
from serving on voluntary, community service committees and boards, and (3) from
owning shares representing less than 5% of the outstanding equity securities of
a company that is a competitor of GUFR.   Khaleel will comply
with and be bound by GUFR's policies, procedures and practices applicable to
members of its Board of Directors from time to time in effect during the term of
this Agreement.

8.  Conflicts.  Khaleel
represents that his performance of this Agreement will not conflict with or
breach any other agreement to which he is a party or may be
bound.  Khaleel has not, and will not during the term of this
Agreement, enter into any oral or written agreement in conflict with any of the
provisions of this Agreement.  Khaleel represents and warrants that he
is not bound by any agreements which prohibit or restrict him from: (a)
competing with, or in any way participating in a business that competes with,
any former employer or business of any former employer to the extent
that  Khaleel's performance of his duties under this Agreement would
be deemed to constitute such competition; (b) soliciting personnel of a former
employer or business to leave such former employer's employment or to leave such
business; or (c) soliciting customers, suppliers, financing sources or other
entities having a substantial relationship with a former employer or
business.





9.  Representations and
Warranties of GUFR.  GUFR has filed all reports required to be
filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange

January 1, 2007 (the foregoing materials being collectively referred to herein
as the “SEC
Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such
time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any
such extension.  As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder, and none of the
SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.  The financial statements of GUFR
included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with
respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may
be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto, and
fairly present in all material respects the financial position of GUFR and its
consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of
unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments.





There is no claim, action, suit,
proceeding, arbitration, reparation, investigation or hearing, pending or
threatened, before any court or governmental, administrative or other competent
authority or private arbitration tribunal, which could have an adverse effect on
the business of GUFR; nor are there any facts known to GUFR which could
reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim, action, suit, proceeding,
arbitration, investigation or hearing, which could have an adverse effect upon
the business of GUFR.
