|
|
3.
|
Allocation of Time and Energies. The Consultant will perform the Services in a professional manner in accordance with accepted industry standards and in compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations. Although no specific hours-per-day requirement will be required, the parties acknowledge and agree that a disproportionately large amount of the effort to be extended and the costs to be incurred by the Consultant, and the benefits to be received by the Company, are to be expected to occur upon and shortly after, and in any event, within two months of the effectiveness of this Agreement. It is explicitly understood that Consultant's performance of its duties hereunder will in no way be measured by the price of the Company's common stock, nor the trading volume of the Company's common stock. It is understood that the Company is entering into this Agreement with the understanding that Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx will be the principal of Consultant during the entire term of this Agreement.
|
4. Remuneration.
|
a.
|
For undertaking this engagement and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company agrees to issue and deliver to the Consultant the "Commencement Bonus", payable in the form of 6,000,000 shares of the Company's 144 restricted common Stock ("Common Stock"). The Company also agrees to pay Consultant a retainer of $3,500 per month in cash beginning in month four of the Agreement. The Commencement Bonus shall be issued to the Consultant immediately following execution of this Agreement and shall, when issued to the Consultant, be fully paid and non-assessable. The monthly retainer shall be paid to the Consultant in monthly installments due on each 30-day anniversary of the Effective Date with the first payment due on November 17, 2010. The Company also agrees to hire a third party vendor selected by the Consultant for $500 in cash per month to implement an IR suite that mirrors the Company’s website immediately following execution of this Agreement. The Company understands and agrees that Consultant has forgone significant opportunities to accept this engagement and the Company derives substantial benefit from the execution of this Agreement and the ability to establish its relationship with Consultant. The shares of Common Stock issued as a Commencement Bonus, therefore, constitute payment for Consultant's agreement to consult with the Company and are a nonrefundable and non-ratable retainer. Such Shares are not a prepayment for future services. If the Company attempts to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of its term for any reason whatsoever, it is agreed and understood that Consultant will not be requested or demanded by the Company to return any of the Shares paid to it hereunder.
|
|
b.
|
Consultant acknowledges that the shares of restricted Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the "Shares") have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and accordingly are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act. As such, the shares may not be resold or transferred unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such a resale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of Rule 144 of the Act.
|
|
5.
|
Expenses. Consultant agrees to pay for all its expenses (phone, labor, etc.), other than extraordinary items for which the Company will reimburse Consultant. Such extraordinary items include travel and entertainment required by/or specifically requested by the Company, luncheons or dinners for large groups of investment professionals, mass faxing to a sizable percentage of the Company's constituents, investor conference calls, print advertisements in publications, and like expenses, expenses which shall be approved by the Company prior to its incurring an obligation for reimbursement.
