the Company in business development and strategic advisory
services.
THE PROGRAM FMR will structure and implement a marketing program
designed to create extensive financial market and investor
awareness for the Company to drive long-term shareholder
support. The core drivers of the program will be to create
institutional and retail buying in the Company's stock

technology-driven communications, coupled with 1-to-1
selling and leveraging the Company's image to attract
additional long term investors and to create additional
opportunities in M&A and Business Development. As share

relations and marketing efforts will be severely limited.

investor relations and financial marketing efforts are
permissible and non permissible during such periods, and FMR
will follow the direction of the Company and its securities
counsel.
RESPONSIBILITIES In addition to marketing and financial public relations, FMR
will assume the responsibilities of an in-house Investor
Relations Officer for the Company on a full turnkey basis,
including the generation of corporate and shareholder
