EXHIBIT 4.11
CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Consulting Services Agreement ("Agreement"), dated February 3,
2005 is made by and between Kevin Evans ("Consultant") and Nannaco, Inc., a
Texas corporation ("Client").
WHEREAS, Consultant has extensive background in the area of business
development strategies and opportunities for developing companies;
WHEREAS, Consultant desires to be engaged by Client to provide
consulting services to Client on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein (the "Services");
WHEREAS, Client is a publicly held corporation with its common stock
shares trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol
"NNNC"; and
WHEREAS, Client desires to engage Consultant to provide the Services in
its area of knowledge and expertise on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for all prior services rendered and
for those services Consultant provides to Client, the parties agree as follows:
1. SERVICES OF CONSULTANT.
Consultant agrees to perform for Client the Services. As such
Consultant will provide bona fide services to Client. The services to be
provided by Consultant will not be in connection with the offer or sale of
securities in a capital-raising transaction, and will not directly or indirectly
promote or maintain a market for Client's securities. See section 5(d) hereof
2. CONSIDERATION.
Client agrees to pay Consultant, as his fee and as consideration for
services provided, 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Client, which shares
shall be registered on Form S-8 with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued
to Kevin Evans, the natural person performing the consulting services for Client
through Consultant. All shares and certificates representing such shares shall
be subject to applicable SEC, federal, state (Blue sky) and local laws and
additional restrictions set forth herein.
3. CONFIDENTIALITY.
Each party agrees that during the course of this Agreement, information
that is confidential or of a proprietary nature may be disclosed to the other
party, including, but not limited to, product and business plans, software,
technical processes and formulas, source codes, product designs, sales, costs
and other unpublished financial information, advertising revenues, usage rates,
advertising relationships, projections, and marketing data ("Confidential
Information"). Confidential Information shall not include information that the
receiving party can demonstrate (a) is, as of the time of its disclosure, or
thereafter becomes part of the public domain through a source other than the
receiving party, (b) was known to the receiving party as of the time of its
disclosure, (c) is independently developed by the receiving party, or (d) is
subsequently learned from a third party not under a confidentiality obligation
to the providing party.
4. PAYMENT.
Client shall pay to Consultant all fees within the later of fifteen
(15) days following execution of this Agreement. Failure of Client to finally
pay any fees within fifteen (15) days after the applicable due date shall be
deemed a material breach of this Agreement, justifying suspension of the
performance of the Services provided by Consultant, will be sufficient cause for
immediate termination of this Agreement by Consultant. Any such suspension will
in no way relieve Client from payment of fees, and, in the event of collection
enforcement, Client shall be liable for any costs associated with such
collection, including, but not limited to, legal costs, attorneys' fees, courts
costs, and collection agency fees.
5. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) CLIENT.
Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and shall hold harmless Consultant
and/or his agents, and to defend any action brought against said parties with
respect to any claim, demand, cause of action, debt or liability, including
reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent that such action is based upon a claim
that: (i) is true, (ii) would constitute a breach of any of Client's
representations, warranties, or agreements hereunder, or (iii) arises out of the
malpractice, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Client.
(b) CONSULTANT.
Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend, and shall hold harmless Client,
its directors, employees and agents, and defend any action brought against same

gross negligence or willful misconduct of Consultant.
(c) NOTICE.
In claiming any indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party shall
promptly provide the indemnifying party with written notice of any claim, which
the indemnified party believes falls within the scope of the foregoing
paragraphs. The indemnified party may, at its expense, assist in the defense if
it so chooses, provided that the indemnifying party shall control such defense,
and all negotiations relative to the settlement of any such claim. Any
settlement intended to bind the indemnified party shall not be final without the
indemnified party's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
