RECITALS
X. | XxXxxx has been an independent contractor of OZOP since October 2018 and currently hold the job title of Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and is a Member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). |
B. | During the period October 2018 through October 23, 2019, Xx. XxXxxx accrued compensation at the monthly rate of $15,000 per month resulting in total compensation of $180,000, of which the amount of $122,500 is outstanding (hereinafter referred to as “Outstanding Fees”). |
C. | Due to personal reasons not related to any Company policy or actions, Xx. XxXxxx is immediately resigning (the “Resignation”) from his position as COO of the Company and as a member of the Board and all positions of OZOP. |
D. | OZOP raises funds through the issuances of convertible notes and/or equity financings (hereinafter referred to as a “Funding”). |
E. | Within 72 hours of receipt of a Funding, OZOP will pay XxXxxx the amount equal to 5% of the net proceeds received from a Funding.
