In order to more clearly align the efforts of Company -------------------- with the Shareholders of YPNT and to reward the Company for its superior past performance on behalf of YPNT's shareholders the Board of Directors of YPNT deems it prudent to award 1 million shares of its Common stock to Company. That Stock is currently valued (as traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board on Friday June 21st, 2002) at 6 cents per share.

The base amount for calculations is 100,000 customers, so the company would have to achieve an increase of 77,000 additional customers during the period. For example; if there were 160,000 customers this could amount to 60,000 additional customers. your would that would be 78% of Goal. So 22% of the stock would be forfit back to YPNT. 6.
