corporate offices nor for more than thirty (30) hours in any calendar month
during the Term of this Agreement, excluding time spent on necessary travel.

5.Consulting Fees. In consideration of the performance by Consultant of the
Consulting Services and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company
hereby agrees to pay the Consultant the sum of Eighty Three Thousand, Three
Hundred Thirty Three and 33/100 Dollars ($83,333.33) per calendar month (the
“Monthly Consulting Fee”) for each calendar month during the Term. Payment of
the Monthly Consulting Fees shall be made in one lump sum, the sum of the six

contractor, the Consultant shall be responsible for payment of all taxes payable
with respect to the Monthly Consulting Fees payable hereunder. The Consultant
recognizes and agrees that he is not subject or entitled to any benefits, wages,
or other terms and conditions of employment or otherwise under the policies,
practices and procedures of the Company, its employees, agents and successors in
interest as they may apply to employees of the Company or any of its direct or
indirect subsidiaries or affiliates.

that he does not have and will not undertake any express or implied obligation
to any third party which in any way conflicts with any of his obligations to the
Company. The Consultant agrees not to perform or agree to perform any services
for any third party which are in the field of this Agreement which would in any
way conflict with any of his obligations to the Company hereunder.

9.Governing Law. The interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its
conflicts of law provisions. Each party hereby agrees that any claims, demands,
lawsuits, proceedings and controversies arising from or relating to this

jurisdiction located in the State of New York, and each party hereby consents to
the subject matter and personal jurisdiction of such courts in respect thereof.
