the Company. Additional options, in the Company’s discretion,
may also be granted to you, from time to time.

The
Company acknowledges that you are an employee of the Alabama Sports
Medicine & Orthopedic Center and are subject to

of this Consulting Agreement shall be three (3) years from the
date of full execution of this Agreement (“Initial
Term”) unless terminated by either party upon fifteen

represent and warrant to the Company that you do not have any
