Exhibit 10.3


 


AMENDED AND RESTATED


MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORY AGREEMENT


 


This AMENDED AND RESTATED
MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of June ____, 2012, is by and between Western Capital
Resources, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), and Blackstreet Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("BCM").


 


WHEREAS, the Company
and BCM are parties to that certain Management and Advisory Agreement dated as of May 12, 2010 (the “Original Agreement”)
pursuant to which, among other things, the Company retained BCM to provide certain management and advisory services to the Company;
and


 


WHEREAS, the Company
desires to retain BCM to provide certain management and advisory services to the Company in light of, among other things, the Company’s
prior internal control issues, the highly regulated business in which the Company is involved, the increasing complexity of the
Company’s multiple business lines, and the diminished staffing of the Company at the management level and increasing strain
on such management since the departure of prior management at the conclusion of fiscal 2008; and


 


WHEREAS, the parties
desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement to make certain clarifications with respect to the payment of fees and the ability
of the Company to terminate the Original Agreement, among other things; and


 


WHEREAS, BCM will
continue to provide advisory and other services to the Company in connection with any subsequent actions by the Company including
but not limited to any debt or equity financing from third party lenders relating to the above; and


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

lobbying firm in the country) and BCM’s knowledge base in the Company’s business areas;



 


		(vii)	advice and assistance with respect to installing and monitor
controls and procedures at the Company, which is a specialty of BCM and which the Company is in need of in light of deficiencies
in internal controls being identified for the past two years; and

daily and weekly reporting with checks and balances, to avoid management integrity issues that have previously affected the Company

		(c)	to assist the Company in obtaining debt or equity financing



 


		2.	Payment of Fees. During the Term, the Company

by wire transfer of immediately available funds; and



 


		(b)	to pay BCM, in connection with the closing of any debt or equity financing from any third party,

		(c)	to pay BCM, in connection with referring any add on acquisitions to the Company and performing
due diligence and turnaround services in connection with such acquisitions, a fee in the amount of $400,000 at the closing of such
acquisitions and to subsequently increase management fees paid to BCM in Section 2(a) by $60,000 per annum for each add on acquisition

entirety by BCM in its sole discretion.



 


3.          Term of Agreement.  The Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect, until the earlier of (i) termination by mutual consent of the parties or (ii) upon written
notice from the Company to BCM, in connection with any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any merger

		4.	Expenses; Indemnity.



 


4.1          Expenses.
The Company agrees to pay on demand all expenses incurred by BCM and/or any of its affiliates in connection with this Agreement
and the provision of services hereunder, including but not limited to: (i) the fees and disbursements of (a) Patton Boggs, LLP,
or any other special counsel to BCM, (b) Todres, or any other accountant to the Company and (c) any other consultants or advisors
retained by the parties in clauses (a) and (d) arising in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of
this Agreement and any other agreement executed in connection herewith or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, including, without limitation, amendments, modifications, restructurings, add on acquisitions and waivers, and exercises
and preservations of rights and remedies, and (ii) the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BCM or any of its affiliates in connection
with the provision of services hereunder or the attendance at any meeting of the board of directors (or their equivalent or any
committee thereof) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, if any.


 



    	 



    	 



    

Patton Boggs LLP’s or any other legal
counsel retained (each, “Counsel”) in connection with the provision of services on behalf the Company in its role as
special counsel to BCM, may create an attorney-client relationship between such Counsel and the Company. The Company acknowledges
that Patton Boggs (and, to the extent applicable, any such other Counsel) has represented and continues to represent BCM on numerous
matters both related and unrelated to the Company. By signing below, the Company acknowledges Patton Boggs’ (and, to the
extent applicable, any such other Counsel’s) representation of BCM and recognizes and expressly acknowledges that any joint
representation of the Company’s interests shall not be deemed to constitute or give rise to any conflict of interest relating
to any Counsel’s continued representation of BCM on matters relating to the Company, this Agreement or otherwise. If, at
any time during the course of any Counsel’s representation of the Company there arises an actual or potential conflict with
BCM, it is expressly agreed by the parties that (1) such Counsel may continue to represent BCM; (2) nothing stated during such
Counsel’s representation of BCM and the Company shall be construed to mean that suchCounsel could not continue to represent
BCM; (3) any and all confidences, secrets or other privileged communications that any of the Company or BCM has communicated to
such Counsel may be shared with BCM; and (4) if such information is shared with BCM, BCM retains the right to waive the confidentiality
of such information, even if doing so may raise questions about compliance with applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Having
been apprised of these potential conflicts and adverse consequences, the Company, by signing below confirms that it has concluded
that they do not outweigh the benefits to it of such Counsel’s joint representation and each of the Company and BCM, by signing
below, consent to such joint representation and acknowledge receipt of disclosure of the existence and nature of possible conflicts
of interest among BCM and the Company and the possible adverse consequences of such joint representation.


 


4.2          Indemnity and Liability.
In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by BCM, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and
hold each of BCM, and its partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, persons for which they are acting as nominees, trustees,
directors, officers, fiduciaries, employees and agents and each of the partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, trustees, directors,
officers, fiduciaries, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the "Indemnities") free and
harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection
therewith, including without limitation attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"),
incurred by the Indemnities or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to the execution, delivery, performance,
enforcement or existence of this Agreement except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of any Indemnity's willful
misconduct, and if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees
to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. None of the Indemnities shall be liable to the Company or any of its affiliates for any act or omission suffered
or taken by such Indemnity that does not constitute willful misconduct.


 


5.               Independent
Contractor. The Company and BCM agree and acknowledge that BCM shall perform services hereunder as an independent contractor,
retaining control over and responsibility for its own operations and personnel. Neither BCM nor its employees shall be considered
employees or agents of the Company as a result of this Agreement or the services provided hereunder.


 


6.               Non-Assignability
of Agreement. Neither party shall have the right to assign this Agreement without the consent of the other party hereto. BCM
acknowledges that its services under this Agreement are unique. Accordingly, any purported assignment by BCM without the consent
of the Company shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BCM may assign all or part of its rights and obligations hereunder
to any affiliate of BCM which provides services similar to those called for by this Agreement, in which event BCM shall be released
of all of its rights and obligations hereunder.



    	 



    	 



    

 


7.              Waiver. No amendment or waiver
of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and executed by each of BCM and the
Company. No waiver on any one occasion shall extend to or effect or be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy on any future
occasion. No course of dealing of any person nor any delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute an amendment
of this Agreement or a waiver of any right or remedy of any party hereto.

8.1          Choice of

such suit, action or proceeding in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of Maryland, agrees that service of process by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address specified in or pursuant to Section 10 is reasonably
