advise, counsel and inform designated officers and employees of the Company about the various industries and businesses in which
GH Capital is engaged, financial markets and exchanges, competitors, business acquisitions
and other aspects of or concerning the Company’s business about which HIR has knowledge or expertise.

 

1.2HIR shall render services to
the Company as an independent contractor, and not as an employee. All services rendered by HIR on behalf of the Company shall be
performed to the best of HIR’s ability in concert with the overall business plan of the Company and the goals and objectives
of the Company’s management and Board of Directors.

 

HIR will develop, implement, and maintain an
ongoing stock market support system for GH Capital including:

 

	A better understanding of the core growth opportunities and key drivers
for the end-market being addressed;
	The extent of the Company’s growth plans, capital requirements,
and operating leverage;
	Establishing and articulating the key operating, growth, and valuation
metrics that investors/shareholders should focus on to judge future performance. Answering the question, “why should an investor
invest in GH Capital?”
	Differentiating GH Capital from other holding and electronic payment
companies based on its technology, relationships and platform.

2.THE FINANCIAL PRESS 

 

HIR will assist executive management in drafting
and supporting GH Capital in delivering complete press releases on all material events as deemed by the Company to the investing
public. Executive Management and corporate counsel, when required by GH Capital’s press release policy and procedures, will
approve all press releases before they are sent to the wire. We have negotiated volume discounts with a top-tier wire service vendor
and shall pass through those significantly discounted pricing plans on a wide range of services to GH Capital. At Company’s
discretion, HIR will disseminate news releases through a Broadcast Fax and/or electronic mail (e-mail) to our established database
of financial professionals including: special situation analysts, brokers, fund managers, individual investors, money managers,
and current or prospective individual shareholders who are already invested or have expressed an interest in GH Capital.

 

		3.	PUBLIC MARKET INSIGHT

 

Paramount to our collective efforts, HIR will
discuss with executive management the importance of establishing conservative expectations and how various corporate actions may
be perceived and impact the public market. HIR has the capability to help assess acquisition candidates, discuss the financial
impacts, in addition to the longer term implications. We will assist executive management in understanding the life cycle
of the financial markets and how GH Capital is impacted directly and indirectly by different variables. The Team at HIR leverages
its collective expertise gained through representing over 200 public companies to help our clients understand expectations, valuations,
perceptions, and investment methodologies utilized by investment professionals. We believe this consulting aspect of our business
is extremely valuable for management to optimize key opportunities and to avoid pitfalls.
