Stock Options Not Acceptable “Consultant will receive 500 stock options upon signing the consulting agreement with Hawkeye Corporation, and quarterly thereafter.” Acceptable “500 stock options will be awarded for each hour of service provided to Hawkeye Corporation by the scientific advisory board member. Options will be awarded only upon receipt of periodic invoices detailing the dates, hours, and types of services provided by the member.”
