July, 2008, sets forth the arrangement between Aubry Consulting Group, Inc.
(“FINDER”) f/s/o Gils Aubry, with an address at 300 E. 40th Street,
New York, NY 10016 and Sahara Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”),
with its principal place of business located at 75 Franklin Street, 2nd Floor,
New York, NY 10013, with respect to compensation to which FINDER may become
entitled under the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

    

    
      	
              1.

            	
              Purpose.  In
      consideration of FINDER introducing the Company to Mac Filmworks, Inc.
      (“MFI”), the Company shall compensate FINDER as provided
      herein.  FINDER understands and agrees that it was not the sole
      finder to introduce the Company to MFI and that  Gatwick
      Holdings, LLC, will also receive compensation in consideration
      of  its efforts in introducing the Company to
    MFI.

            

    

     

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              FINDER’S
      Compensation.  On the date hereof, the Company shall pay
      to FINDER the aggregate sum of $20,000 pursuant to Section 3
      herein.  If during the term of this Agreement, the Company
      receives financing of at least $8,000,000 (“Funding”) from the direct
      placement efforts of John Thomas Financial, FINDER will be paid $120,000
      upon the completion of the Funding.  It is agreed and understood
      that FINDER shall not participate in the negotiation, structuring,
      documentation or any other aspect of the Funding and FINDER’s sole
      participation shall be in connection with the introduction of the
      placement agent of the Funding to the
Company,

            

    

     

    
      	
              3.
      

            	
              Form of
      Compensation.  FINDER’S compensation shall be paid to
      FINDER, according to FINDER’S preference, either in the form of a
      certified or cashier’s check, or wire transfer of immediately available
      funds pursuant to the instructions provided to the Company by
      FINDER.

            

    

     

    
      
        	
                4.

              	      
                Consummation Required.
       In no event
      will the Company have any liability for compensation to FINDER pursuant to
      this Agreement, unless the Funding closes within twelve months of the date
      of this Agreement.

              

      

       

    

    
      
        	
                5.

              	      
                Term. The
      engagement of FINDER shall commence on July 21, 2008 and shall continue
      until the earliest to occur of the
      following:

              

      

       

    

    
    

    
    

    
      	
              a)  

            	
              July
      20, 2009; or

            

    

     

    
      	
              b)  

            	
              Immediately
      after the FINDER has been paid a total of $140,000 in accordance with the
      terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

            

    

     

    Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, Sections 7, 9, 10, and 11 of this Agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

     

    
      	
              6.

            	
              Agreement Not Exclusive.
       Nothing in
      this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent Company from authorizing other
      parties to locate sources of funding and/or financing for it, and Company
      may negotiate for and carry out fundings and/or financings independently
      of FINDER, either with or without the assistance of other
      intermediaries.

            

    

     

    
      	
              7.

            	
              Independent Contractor
      Relationship.  This Agreement is intended to create an
      independent contractor relationship between FINDER and Company, which is
      described in Section 3508 of the Internal Revenue Service Code, and shall
      be interpreted to effectuate such intent between the
    parties.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              No Taxes Withheld from
      Compensation. Company will not
      withhold any taxes from any compensation paid to FINDER according to this
      Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed by the parties that Company has
      not, is not, and shall not be obligated to make, and that it is the sole
      responsibility of FINDER to make, in connection with compensation paid to
      FINDER according to this Agreement, all periodic filings and payments
      required to be made in connection with any withholding taxes, FICA taxes,
      Federal unemployment taxes, and any other federal, state or local taxes,
      payments or filings required to be paid, made or
    maintained.

            

    

     

    
      
         

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              FINDER Controls Time and
      Effort.  It is agreed that
      Company is interested only in the ultimate results of FINDER’S activities
      pursuant to this Agreement, and that FINDER shall have exclusive control
      over the time and effort invested by FINDER pursuant to this Agreement,
      and the manner and means of FINDER’S performance under this
      Agreement.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (c)

            	
              Independence from
      Company.  The parties further agree that FINDER shall
      have no control or supervision over Company’s employees, officers,
      directors, representatives or affiliates.  FINDER will not
      represent that it is an employee of Company. FINDER shall at all times
      represent himself and be construed as independent of
      Company.  FINDER shall not, under any circumstances, be deemed
      to be a servant or employee of Company for any purpose, including for
      Federal tax purposes.  FINDER’S relationship to Company is that
      of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall
      constitute this Agreement as a joint venture or partnership between FINDER
      and Company.  FINDER shall have no authority to bind Company or
      any of its employees, officers, directors, representatives or affiliates
      by any promise or representation, oral or otherwise, unless specifically
      authorized in a writing bearing an authorized signature of a Company
      officer, director or representative. All discussions and negotiations with
      any source for funding and/or financing shall be conducted by
      Company.

              10.  

            	
              Indemnification.  FINDER
      shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its employees, legal
      counsel, agents and affiliates (all of such persons being hereinafter
      collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all
      losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards,
      liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (and any and all actions,
      suits, proceedings and investigations in respect thereof and any and all
      legal and other costs, expenses and disbursements reasonably incurred in
      giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or
      otherwise), including, without limitation, the reasonable costs, expenses
      and disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing or
      defending any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether or
      not in connection with litigation in which an Indemnified Party is a
      party), directly or indirectly caused by, relating to, based upon, arising
      out of or in connection with (i) FINDER acting for the Company, including
      without limitation, any act or omission by FINDER in connection with
      acceptance of or the performance or nonperformance of  its
      obligations under this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time;
      (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact
      contained in, or omissions or alleged omissions from, any information
      furnished to an Indemnified Party, an investor,  a potential
      investor, lender, potential lender, provider of funding to the Company or
      any party to the Funding; or (iii) the Funding, provided, however, the
      foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any portion of any such loss,
      claim, damage, obligation, penalty, judgment, award, liability, cost,
      expense or disbursement to the extent it is found in a  final
      judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further
      appeal) to have resulted primarily and directly from the willful
      misconduct or gross negligence of the particular
      Indemnified  Party

            

    

     

    
      	
              11.

            	
              Release.  In
      consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and for other good
      and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
      acknowledged, FINDER and Gills Aubry, in his individual capacity as well
      as in his corporate capacity on behalf of FINDER, and their successors,
      assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely,
      unconditionally and irrevocably release, remise and forever discharge the
      Company and its successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees,
      agents and other representatives (the Company and all such other persons
      being hereinafter referred to, collectively, in this Section 11 as the
      “Releasees” and individually as a “Releasee”), of and from all demands,
      actions, causes of action, suits, covenants, contracts, controversies,
      agreements, promises, sums of money, accounts, bills, reckonings, damages
      and any and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set-off,
      demands and liabilities whatsoever (individually, a “Claim” and
      collectively “Claims”) of every name and nature, known or unknown,
      suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which FINDER and/or
      Gils Aubry, or any of their successors, assigns or other legal
      representatives may now or hereafter own, hold, have or claim to have
      against the Releasees or any of them for, upon, or by reason of any
      circumstance, action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time
      on or prior to the day and date of this Agreement; provided, however, that
      this release does not release, waive, impair or diminish the parties’
      rights under this Agreement.

            

    

     

    
      	
              12.

            	
              Severability.  If the law does
      not allow a provision of this Agreement to be enforced, such unenforceable
      provision shall be amended to become enforceable and reflect the intent of
      the parties, and the rest of the provisions of this Agreement shall remain
      in effect.

            

    

     

    
      	
              13.

            	
              Waiver.  The failure of any
      party, in any instance, to insist upon strict enforcement of the
      provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver or
      relinquishment of enforcement in the future, and the terms of this
      Agreement shall continue to remain in full force and
    effect.

            

    

     

    
      	
              14.

            	
              Assignability. This Agreement
      shall not be assignable by either
party.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.

            	
              Amendment. This Agreement may
      only be amended or modified in a writing signed by both of the parties and
      referring to this Agreement.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              16. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement
      constitutes the entire agreement and final understanding of the parties
      with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes and
      terminates all prior and/or contemporaneous understandings and/or
      discussions between the parties (except the Non-Disclosure Agreement
      between the Company and Aubry Consulting Group, Inc., dated July 10, 2008,
      which shall continue to be binding in accordance with its terms) whether
      written or verbal, express or implied, relating in any way to the subject
      matter of this Agreement.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              17. Execution in
      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or
      more counterparts (by facsimile, computer image file (e.g., PDF-file) or
      in the original), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
      which taken together shall constitute one in the same
      instrument.  Confirmation of execution by electronic
      transmission of a facsimile signature shall be binding on the confirming
      party.

    Engagement
Agreement

    

    This
Engagement Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 1st day of
July, 2008 between Sahara Media, Inc., and its successor(s) entity in the event
of a reverse merger or reorganization transaction (collectively, the “Client”)
with offices at 75 Franklin Street, 2nd Floor,
New York, NY 10013, and Marathon Advisors (“Marathon”).  This
agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions pursuant to which Marathon
will provide services to Client.

    

    
      	
              1.  

            	
              Services.  Marathon
      shall provide Brian Rodriguez or another qualified individual to serve as
      a consultant to the Client (Marathon and such consultants are collectively
      referred to herein as the “Consultant”).  The Consultant shall
      provide advisory services to the Client to provide guidance to the Client
      in the areas of accounting/finance, internal controls and Sarbanes-Oxley
      compliance (the “Services”).    Without limited the
      generality of the following, the Consultant is not acting as chief
      financial officer or controller for the Client and is not responsible for
      maintaining or compiling financial records, preparing financial
      statements, performing SEC reporting or other duties typical of a chief
      financial officer or controller.  The Consultant shall expend
      such time as is reasonably necessary to fully perform the Services, up to
      a maximum of twenty (20) hours per month, and shall devote his best
      efforts, experience and judgment to fully discharge the duties and
      responsibilities under this Agreement and as reasonably contemplated
      hereby, and shall act in conformity with the written policies of the
      Client and within the limits, budgets, business plans and instructions as
      set by the Client. Not withstanding anything to the contrary herein,
      Consultant shall not be required to devote more than 20 hours per month to
      performing its duties pursuant to this Agreement.  Consultant
      shall be subject to the authority of the Client’s board of directors and

              2.  

            	
              Limitation of
      Services.  It is understood between the parties that the
      Consultant is not providing legal services, or independent accounting
      services and such services must be retained by the Client, at its own cost
      and expense. It is expressly acknowledged that Marathon will utilize best
      efforts in performing the Services contemplated hereby but no
      representations are made as to the ultimate success of the Client in
      carrying out the Client’s business.

            

    

    

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              Term.  The
      Services shall commence on the effective date of the anticipated reverse
      merger with a public shell company or similar reorganization transaction
      (the “Effective Date”).  The Services shall terminate one year
      from  the Effective Date.  In addition, this Agreement
      may be terminated early as follows:

            

    

     

    a)  Marathon
may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon providing 30 days
written notice to the Client.

     

    b)  Either
party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Agreement
immediately upon written notice to the other, if it reasonably determines that
the other party, or any of its respective directors, officers or controlling
shareholders has engaged in any unlawful, wrongful or fraudulent
act.

     

    c)  Marathon
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Agreement
immediately upon written notice to the Client, if Marathon shall determine that
any material facts concerning the Client or any of its respective directors,
officers or controlling shareholders represented to Marathon during the course
of performing the Services are misstated or untrue or that the  Client
has intentionally failed to provide Marathon with material facts concerning the
Client.

     

    In the
event of early termination of the Agreement, all fees and expenses accrued by
Marathon shall be paid to Marathon within 15 days after termination and all fees
paid to Marathon that were not accrued by Marathon prior to termination shall be
reimbursed to the Client or credited against any outstanding balances owed by
the Client within 15 days after termination.

    

    
      	
              4.  

            	
              Location.  The
      Services will be performed both remotely and at the Client’s office site
      or other location as the Client shall reasonably
  request.

            

    

     

    
      
         

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

    

    
      	
              5.  

            	
              Payment. During
      the term of this Agreement, Marathon shall be paid cash consideration of
      $7,000 per month, with payment due upon the 15th
      calendar day of each month.  In the event the Effective Date
      occurs on a date other than the first calendar day of the month, Marathon
      shall be paid a pro-rated amount of the $7,000 for the first month, with
      such payment being made within 15 days after the Effective
      Date.  In addition, Marathon shall be paid equity compensation
      in the form of 100,000 shares of the Client’s common
      stock.  Said equity compensation shall be issued to Marathon and
      fully-vested by Marathon within 10 business days of the Effective
      Date.  In addition, Marathon shall be issued warrants to
      purchase 300,000 shares of the Client’s common stock with an exercise
      price of $1.10 per share .  The warrants shall vest as
      follows:  50% on the first 12-month anniversary of the Effective
      Date and 50% on the second 12-month anniversary of the Effective
      Date.  The warrants shall have a 3-year term and a cashless
      exercise feature.  In addition, provided Marathon presents the
      Client with reasonable acceptable proof of such expenses, the Client shall
      reimburse Marathon for any reasonable, accountable, out-of-pocket expenses
      (the “Reimbursable Expenses”) incurred by Marathon related to travel to
      the Client’s office or board meeting locations or any other expenses
      incurred related to performing the Services provided in this
      Agreement.  The Reimbursable Expenses shall be invoiced by
      Marathon to the Client, with payment due upon receipt of invoice.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any expense in excess of
      $500 shall need the prior written approval of the Client in order to be
      eligible for reimbursement from the
Client.

            

    

    

    
      	
              6.  

            	
              Independent Contractor
      Relationship.  The parties understand and agree Marathon
      shall perform the Services under this Agreement as an independent
      contractor and under no circumstances is Marathon or its employee(s) to be
      considered a Client employee or
agent.

            

    

    

    
      	
              7.  

            	
              Non-exclusivity of
      Undertakings. Client expressly understands and agrees that Marathon
      shall not be prevented or barred from rendering services of the same
      nature as or a similar nature to those Services described in this
      Agreement, or of any nature whatsoever, for or on behalf of any person,
      firm, corporation, or entity other than the Client, provided that the
      rendition of such services does not in any way interfere with Marathons’
      obligations pursuant to this
Agreement.

            

    

    

    
      	
              8.  

            	
              Mutual
      Indemnification.  Both parties agree to indemnify and
      hold each other harmless for any injuries to persons or property caused by
      the intentional and willful acts of each party’s own employees in the
      performance of services under this Agreement.  Furthermore, the
      Client hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Marathon, against any
      and all expenses incurred by reason of the fact that Marathon is or was
      an, officer, agent, Marathon or advisor of the Client, but only if
      Marathon acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
      in or not opposed to the best interest of the Client and, in the case of a
      criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
      was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order of the
      court, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE, or its
      equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Marathon did
      not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be
      in or not opposed to the best interest of the Client, and with respect to
      any criminal proceeding, shall not create a presumption that such person
      or entity believed that his conduct was unlawful. The indemnification
      provided herein shall be applicable whether or not negligence or gross
      negligence of the Marathon is alleged or proven. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, in the case of any proceeding brought by or in the right of the
      Client, Marathon shall not be entitled to indemnification for any claim,
      issue or matter as to which the Client has been adjudged by a court of
      competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be
      liable to the Marathon or for amounts paid in settlement to the Marathon,
      unless and only to the extent that, the court in which the proceeding was
      brought or another court of competent jurisdiction determines, on
      application, that in view of all the circumstances, the person or entity
      is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the
      court deems proper.

            

    

    

    
      	
              9.

            	
              Confidential
      Information.   In
      consideration of the compensation and benefits to be paid or provided to
      the Consultant by the Client under this Agreement, the Consultant
      covenants as follows:

            

    

     

    (a)           Confidentiality.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (i)           During
and following the Consulting Period, the Consultant will hold in confidence the
Confidential Information and will not disclose it to any person except with the
specific prior written consent of the Client or except as otherwise expressly
permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

    

    (ii)           Any
trade secrets of the Client will be entitled to all of the protections and
benefits under any applicable law. If any information that the Client deems to
be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a
trade secret for purposes of this Agreement, such information will,
nevertheless, be considered Confidential Information for purposes of this
Agreement. The Consultant hereby waives any requirement that the Client submit
proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other
security.

    

    (iii)           None
of the foregoing obligations and restrictions applies to any part of the
Confidential Information that the Consultant demonstrates was or became
generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the
Consultant.

    

    (iv)           The
Consultant will not remove from the Client’s premises (except to the extent such
removal is for purposes of the performance of the Consultant's duties at home or
while traveling, or except as otherwise specifically authorized by the
Corporation) any document, record, notebook, plan, model, component, device, or
computer software or code, whether embodied in a disk or in any other form
(collectively, the "Proprietary Items"). The Consultant recognizes that, as
between the Client and the Consultant, all of the Proprietary Items, whether or
not developed by the Consultant, are the exclusive property of the Client. Upon
termination of this Agreement by either party, or upon the request of the Client
during the Consulting Period, the Consultant will return to the Client all of
the Proprietary Items in the Consultant's possession or subject to the
Consultant's control, and the Consultant shall not retain any copies, abstracts,
sketches, or other physical embodiment of any of the Proprietary
Items.

    

    (b)           Consultant
Inventions.  Each Consultant Invention will belong exclusively
to the Client.  The Consultant acknowledges that all of the
Consultant's writing, works of authorship, and other Consultant Inventions are
works made for hire and the property of the Client, including any copyrights,
patents, or other intellectual property rights pertaining thereto.  If
it is determined that any such works are not works made for hire, the Consultant
hereby assigns to the Client all of the Consultant's right, title, and interest,
including all rights of copyright, patent, and other intellectual property
rights, to or in such Consultant Inventions.  The Consultant covenants
that he will promptly:

    

    (i)           disclose
to the Client in writing any Consultant Invention;

    

    (ii)           assign
to the Client or to a party designated by the Client, at the Client’s request
and without additional compensation, all of the Consultant's right to the
Consultant Invention for the United States and all foreign
jurisdictions;

    

    (iii)           execute
and deliver to the Client such applications, assignments, and other documents as
the Client may request in order to apply for and obtain patents or other
registrations with respect to any Consultant Invention in the United States and
any foreign jurisdictions;

    

    (iv)           sign
all other papers necessary to carry out the above obligations; and

    

    (v)           give
testimony and render any other assistance in support of the Corporation's rights
to any Consultant Invention.

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (c)           Disputes or
Controversies.  The Consultant recognizes that should a dispute
or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement be submitted for
adjudication to any court, arbitration panel, or other third party, the
preservation of the secrecy of Confidential Information may be jeopardized. All
pleadings, documents, testimony, and records relating to any such adjudication
will be maintained in secrecy and will be available for inspection by the
Client, the Consultant, and their respective attorneys and experts, who will
agree, in advance and in writing, to receive and maintain all such information
in secrecy, except as may be limited by them in writing.
