The initial term of this agreement is for five years, and automatically renews for additional one year terms if approved by both parties. During this agreement’s term and at the Company’s expense, iTella, Inc. will be provided an office and administrative support in Weston, Florida. iTella, Inc.’s compensation shall currently consists of the following:
