RE: CONSULTING AGREEMENT
Dear Xx. XxXxxx:
This will confirm the arrangements, terms and conditions pursuant to which
SpringerRun, Inc. ("Consultant"), has been retained to serve as a consultant and
advisor to NCT Group, Inc. (the "Company," as further defined in Paragraph 13(c)
hereof). The undersigned hereby agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Duties of Consultant: Consultant will provide such consulting services and
advice pertaining to the Company's business affairs as the Company may from
time to time reasonably request. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Consultant will assist the Company in finding licensing and
distribution agreements, equity capital, debt financing and joint venture
partners. "Distribution agreements," as used in this Agreement, includes
master distributor agreements, master reseller agreements, reseller
agreements and direct end user agreements. The services described herein
shall be rendered by Consultant under the direction of the Company and at
such time, place and in such manner (whether by conference, telephone,
letter or otherwise) as the Company and Consultant may mutually determine.
2. Term of Agreement: The initial term of this Agreement shall begin as of the
date hereof and be for a one-year period, but will automatically be
extended beyond the expiration of such initial term for additional
consecutive one-year terms upon the anniversary of the commencement of each
one-year term unless terminated by either party upon written notice to the
other no less than 30 days prior to the expiration of each respective term.
3. Available Time: Consultant shall make available such time as it, in its
sole discretion, shall deem appropriate for the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. Consultant may perform consulting or
other services for other companies, except that, during the term of this
Agreement, it may not do so for companies that directly compete with the
Company.
4. Compensation: As compensation for Consultant's services hereunder, the
Company shall promptly pay to Consultant the following:
(a) Raising Capital and Debt: A finder's fee shall be paid to Consultant
of six percent (6%) of any Equity Capital (as defined below) and one
percent (1%) of any debt financing raised for the Company from those
parties listed as "Business Targets" on Schedule A hereto. Consultant
shall also be issued warrants exercisable two years after issuance to
purchase an amount of equity in the Company equal to 5% of any Equity
Capital sold to Business Targets, at the same price as the Equity
Capital sold. "Equity Capital," as used in this provision, shall
include funds used to
2
NCT Group, Inc.
purchase (i) debt instruments that are convertible into equity, (ii)
"put" options to acquire equity, (iii) preferred stock of any nature
and (iv) any other Company obligations in which the holder has rights
to acquire Company equity of any kind, even if in addition to a right
of repayment of debt. In the case of debt combined with a right to
acquire Company equity (e.g., convertible debt), the finder's fee
shall be 1% of the debt financing raised and, if the right to acquire
Company equity is subsequently exercised (e.g., the debt is
converted), an additional 5% of the original debt financing raised,
for a total of 6%.
(b) Licensing and Distribution Revenues: A finder's fee shall be paid to
Consultant of seven per cent (7%) of the Contract Revenues (as defined
below) received by the Company, when received, under any licensing
and/or distribution agreements between the Company and those parties
listed on Schedule A hereto as Business Targets. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Contract Revenues" are defined as all revenues received by
the Company under a licensing and/or distribution agreement between
the Company and a Business Target, less verifiable direct costs
incurred by the Company in delivery of the license, services or
products required by such agreement. The 7% finder's fee, as discussed
above, shall be paid for a period of three years from the date that
Contract Revenues are first received by the Company from each Business
Target listed on Schedule A, and thereafter, the fee shall be 5% of
Contract Revenues from such Business Target.
(c) Joint Ventures, etc.: In the event the Company enters into a joint
venture, partnership or other business relationship with any Business
Target that results in gross revenues being paid to the Company,
Consultant shall receive a fee of seven percent (7%) of such gross
revenues, when received by the Company, that result from the
aforementioned, less verifiable direct costs incurred by the Company
in delivery of any license, services or products required by such
business relationship. The 7% finder's fee, as discussed above, shall
be paid for a period of three years from the date that gross revenues
are first received from each Business Target listed on Schedule A, and
thereafter, the fee shall be 5% of Gross Revenues from such Business
Target.
For purposes of this Agreement, Consultant's compensation shall be based on
amounts raised or revenues received in connection with the applicable
transaction by the Company, of any nature, including any legal, beneficial
or equitable interest in a business such as stock, stock options,
partnership interests, membership interests, beneficial trust interests and
similar types of interests, as well as any deferred compensation.
Consultant may request that any cash fee described above be given as equity
in the Company instead of cash. The Company at its sole discretion may
decide to honor the request. If the Company decides to honor the request,
the price of the equity will be mutually agreed upon by the parties at the
time of the request but in no event will such price be greater than the
price attributed by the then most recent sale of equity by the Company.
Consultant and the Company may, on a comparable basis, agree that
Consultant will receive equity in any joint venture or similar entity
referred to in Paragraph 4(c) above in lieu of all or part of a cash fee
provided for herein.
5. Nature of Schedule A: A person or entity may be added as a Business Target
in Schedule A only upon the prior written consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any Business Target may be
removed from Schedule A by the Company via written notice to Consultant if
such Business Target does not enter into a business relationship with the
Company within six months of its inclusion on Schedule A. If, in the
Company's opinion at the end of such six-month period, (a) reasonable
progress is being made towards entering into a business relationship or (b)
the lack of a business relationship is the result solely of factors outside
Consultant's and the Business Target's control, the Company shall refrain
from effecting such removal until such time as these two conditions are no
longer the case. Consultant's rights with respect to Business Targets shall
3
NCT Group, Inc.
be exclusive during the period in which they are on Schedule A.
6. Expenses: If Consultant uses other persons or entities to assist it in
performing its duties under this Agreement (e.g., co-finders or agents),
Consultant shall be responsible for any compensation to such persons or
entities, unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Company.
Expenses incurred by Consultant in performing its duties under this
Agreement will be paid by Consultant; provided, however, that the Company
may at its sole discretion advance Consultant reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, which expenses shall be repaid as setoffs against compensation to
Consultant hereunder and shall be documented by Consultant.
7. Relationship: Nothing herein shall constitute Consultant as an employee or
agent of the Company, it being understood that Consultant will be an
independent contractor with respect to the Company. Except to such extent
as might hereinafter be expressly agreed in writing in advance for a
particular purpose, Consultant shall not have the authority to obligate or
commit the Company in any manner whatsoever.
8. Information: The Company acknowledges that, in providing services under
this Agreement Consultant will rely on information furnished by the Company
concerning the Company's business affairs without independent certification
and represents that such information will be materially complete and
correct.
9. Confidentiality: Except as necessary in the course of performing its duties
hereunder, Consultant shall not disclose any trade secrets, know-how or
other proprietary information of the Company learned as a result of this
Agreement or Consultant's performance hereunder (collectively,
"Information"), unless such Information has become generally known to the
public through no fault of Consultant. Upon request from the Company,
Consultant shall promptly return to the Company all originals and copies of
Information in its possession, custody or control following the expiration
or any termination of this Agreement. This Paragraph 9 shall survive the
expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
10. Company Agreements: Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the Company to
enter into any agreement or business relationship with any third party;
provided, however, that the Company will exert reasonable commercial
efforts to execute agreements and consummate the creation of business
relationships with Business Targets if negotiations between the Company and
the applicable Business Target have begun. Consultant acknowledges that the
Company may, as a result of contractual restrictions (e.g., rights of
exclusivity of third parties) now existing or hereafter arising, be (a)
prohibited from entering into certain agreements or business relationships
with Business Targets or (b) permitted to enter into certain agreements or
business relationships with Business Targets only with the participation of
third parties thereby potentially reducing the amounts received by the
Company and hence Consultant's compensation hereunder.
11. Assignment: This Agreement shall not be assignable by either party except
(a) with the other party's prior written consent or (b) to an affiliate of
the assigning party with prior written notice to the other party. This
Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective
successors-in-interest and permitted assigns.
12. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under
the laws of the State of Connecticut and for all purposes shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of such State.

NCT Group, Inc.
13. Miscellaneous:
(a) The Company shall provide Consultant, in regard to any transaction for
which compensation is due to Consultant hereunder, with timely copies
of all letters of intent, offers, counter-offers, final agreements,
closing statements and any other information or materials that are
pertinent to calculating such compensation, including copies of
payments and the dates thereof.
(b) Each of the undersigned signatories, individually and on behalf of
Company and Consultant, respectively, represents and warrants that he
or she has the authority to enter into this Agreement.
(c) The "Company," as used in this Agreement, shall mean NCT Group, Inc.
and any of its affiliates.
(d) No communications, consents and other notices hereunder shall be
effective unless in writing and delivered in person, by recognized
commercial courier, by telecopy, by certified mail (postage prepaid,
return receipt requested) or by e-mail, properly directed to the
intended recipient at its last known address, telecopy number or
e-mail address (in the case of the Company, Attn: Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx;
in the case of Consultant, Attn: Xxxx X. XxXxxx XX and/or Xxxx X.
XxXxxx III).
(e) This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all
other prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings with
respect to such subject matter.
Please evidence your agreement to and acceptance of all of the foregoing by
signing where indicated below, whereupon this Agreement shall become binding
between us.
Very truly yours,
