In May 2011, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bennington which expired on December 31, 2017. The employment agreement provided that the Company would pay Mr. Bennington a salary of $120,000 during the first year of the agreement, $156,000 during the second year of the agreement, $172,000 during the third year of the agreement, $190,000 during the fourth year of the agreement and $208,000 during the fifth year of the agreement. Since the Company was unable to compensate him as stipulated per the agreement, Mr. Bennington agreed to drop his yearly compensation, and resulting yearly accrual, to $120,000 per year with no yearly increases as stipulated in years 2 through 5. In September 2016, before the expiration of Mr. Bennington’s contract, the Company appointed Ivan Braiker as its sole CEO, and Mr. Bennington subsequently took a role as a member of the Board of Directors at a monthly rate of $5,000. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Braiker entered into a letter agreement with the Company, under which he accrued a monthly retainer of $7,500, to be paid only if the Company successfully closed financing of at least $200,000. Mr. Braiker was also granted options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0045 per share at a fair value of $6,290. In an act of good faith by the Company, Mr. Braiker was paid $15,000 in 2017 in relation to his letter agreement. Effective with his resignation on December 31, 2017, the Company did not owe, accrue for or pay Mr. Braiker any further compensation as he was unable to secure financing of $200,000 for the Company as stipulated per the letter agreement. Mr. Braiker was not compensated for his services as a member of our Board of Directors and his stock option to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was cancelled by the Company in 2019.

 

On December 3, 2014, Lanphere Law Group, a related party and the Company’s largest shareholder, entered into an agreement with the Company to convert 50% of its outstanding accounts payable of $428,668 to a note payable.

This agreement further provided that the remaining 50% of unpaid legal fees in accounts payable were to be paid and retained as a current payable.
