RE: Engagement Agreement
Dear Xx. Xxxxxxxx:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm my agreement with regard to House of Brussels Chocolates Inc. (the "Company") engagement of my firm to represent the Company in connection with general corporate and securities matters of the Company. This engagement agreement will not include, however, any legal or other services in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction, and services that directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities.
The legal fees for representing you pursuant to this engagement agreement will be charged on an hourly basis at $300.00 an hour for work performed by me, plus all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses which are deemed necessary in connection with such matters, such as all travel expenses, long distance telephone, telecopier, postage, air courier and local transportation. If legal services are done by my associate, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, her time will be billed at $160.00 per hour. You will be invoiced for services rendered on a monthly basis.
It is agreed that my fee pursuant to this engagement agreement shall be 50,000 shares of common stock. The amount credited to my invoice shall be an amount equal to the number of shares to be issued times 85% of the closing price of the shares on the over-the-counter bulletin board upon the date hereof. The 50,000 shares are to be registered by the Company on the Form S-8 Registration Statement filed by the Company. All 50,000 shares shall be issued immediately subsequent to filing the Form S-8 Registration Statement.
In connection with our charges for professional attorney's fees and expenses, you will receive an itemized monthly statement reflecting the status and amount owed on your account with our firm, including costs and expenses.
