1.
|
RETENTION. Client hereby engages Xxxxxx to act as the Client’s consultant and assist in the preparation and filing of an S-1 Registration Statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The services shall include, but shall not be limited to: (i) the Preparation of the S-1 Registration Statement; (ii) assisting the client in the preparation of all financials; (iii) engaging (on behalf of the Client) and compensating an auditor to provide audited financial statements; (iv) engaging (on behalf of the Client) and compensating legal counsel to submit the S-1 and the accompanying legal opinions; (v) assisting the client in replying to all comments from the SEC; (vi) identify and assist the Client in engaging a Transfer Agent for the Client; (vii) identify and assist the Client in securing market makers; and (viii) assisting the Client in becoming DTC eligible.
|
2.
|
INTRODUCTIONS. Once the S-1 is completed and approved, Xxxxxx will endeavor to
|
introduce the Client to potential sources of funding. Xxxxxx and the Client shall enter into a separate agreement for these services.
3.
|
COMMERICALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS. Xxxxxx will use all commercially
|
reasonable efforts, consistent with its business judgment, to assist the Client in the completion of the S-1 and securing SEC approval. Owing makes no representation, guarantee or promise that: (i) the S-1 will ultimately be approved; (ii) the Client will be able to raise any money; or (iii) that Xxxxxx will be successful in introducing the client to potential sources of investment.

LICENSURE. Client acknowledges that Xxxxxx is not a licensed Broker or Broker-
|
Dealer and that the information and services provided by Xxxxxx shall be in the form of advice for which a license is not required.
5.
|
EXPENSES. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Xxxxxx and its partners shall
|
assume the cost of services to be provided in section 1 above. Once the S-1 is approved, the Client shall be solely responsible for the preparation and filings necessary to maintain the Client’s status as a fully reporting, publicly traded company. Client further agrees to maintain all such files for a period of a least one year following the approval of the S-1.
6.
|
COMPENSATION. As compensation to Xxxxxx for its services hereunder, Client agrees to pay Xxxxxx a fee of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) for its services. The Client shall have the option of satisfying this fee in one of two ways.
|
a.
|
Payment of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) upon the execution of this Agreement; or
|
b.
|
In lieu of a cash payment, Client, at its election, may choose to compensate Xxxxxx in stock. Should Client elect this option, the Client shall issue ________________ shares of restricted common stock (valued at ___per share) to Xxxxxx upon the execution of this Agreement.
|
7.
|
TERM AND TERMINATION. Once engaged, Client agrees not to terminate the services of Xxxxxx in connection with the S-1 until the earlier of: (i) the approval of the S-1 by the SEC; or (ii) the expiration of 15 months following the initial filing of the S-1 without an approval from the SEC. Once the S-1 is approved, this Agreement shall continue on a month to month basis until such time as it shall be terminated by either party upon written notice to the non-terminating party. Client acknowledges that upon the execution of this Agreement, Xxxxxx will immediately begin the S-1 Registration process and will therefore immediately begin incurring expenses on the Client’s behalf. Should the Client terminate this Agreement in breach of the terms of this section 7, Client agrees that the two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) paid in accordance with section 6(a) above shall be non-refundable. If Client elects to compensate Xxxxxx in stock in accordance with section 6(b) above, Client acknowledges that Xxxxxx will not be able to readily liquidate the stock received if the Client does not become a public entity. Client therefore agrees that upon a termination in breach of this section 7 following the issuance of such stock, Client shall be obligated to immediately pay Xxxxxx the sum of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($120,000.00) as liquidated damages. Upon the receipt of the payment of the one hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($120,000.00), Xxxxxx agrees to return the stock received. Until such time as

Client tenders payment of the sixty thousand dollars ($60,000.00) to Xxxxxx, Client agrees not to dilute Xxxxxx interest in Client.
8.
|
INFORMATION AND COOPERATION. Client will furnish to Xxxxxx, on a timely
|
basis and in a form satisfactory to Xxxxxx, such data and information as Xxxxxx may reasonably request to complete the S-1. Client represents and warrants that such data and information is or will be accurate and complete in all material respects. Client acknowledges that Xxxxxx is relying, without independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of all information furnished. Client further agrees that its failure or inability to expeditiously provide such data or information, or to secure timely access to key personnel and facilities, may have a material adverse affect on the scope, timing and success of this engagement.
9.
|
SALE OF THE PUBLIC VEHICLE. In the event that the Client elects to compensate
|
Xxxxxx for its services in stock, the Client acknowledges that, after the registration is approved, Xxxxxx expects that it will be able to sell a sufficient portion of the acquired stock to recoup its investment. Client there agrees as follows:
|
a. If the Client elects not to remain in the public vehicle, ceases active operations or is otherwise no longer able to continue to operate its business inside of a public company before Xxxxxx can liquidate the shares acquired in the registration, the Client will retain Xxxxxx to locate a buyer for the public vehicle and sell all of the Client’s interest in the public vehicle to such third party identified by Xxxxxx. Once the public vehicle is sold, the first ___________in proceeds from the sale shall be tendered to Xxxxxx. The balance shall be retained by the Client.
|
|
b. If there is not a market for the Client’s securities so as to allow Xxxxxx to liquidate a sufficient portion of the stock received in the registration to return at least one hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($200,000.00) to Xxxxxx within six (6) months of the approval of the registration, the Client will retain Xxxxxx to locate a buyer for the public vehicle and sell all of the Client’s interest in the public vehicle to such third party identified by Xxxxxx. Once the public vehicle is sold, the first two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) in proceeds from the sale shall be tendered to Xxxxxx.
