Services.  Al Carruthers brings his demining industry contacts and experience expertise to MCC in connection with its desired business and Al Carruthers agrees to provide such services for the term of this agreement.

2.  
Compensation.  MCC will pay Mr. Carruthers US$2,500 dollars per month for the term of this agreement. A salary review will be conducted following a 3 month probationary period.
