                  by
                  this Agreement.

                  any such
                  services.  Client has full and free discretion in the selection
                  of a broker-dealer.

                  entity.

                15.  

              	
                INDEMNIFICATION.  Subject
                  to the provisions herein, the Client and Consultant agree to indemnify,
                  defend and hold each other harmless from and against all demands,
                  claims,
                  actions, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including
                  without limitation, interest, penalties and attorneys' fees and
                  expenses
                  asserted against or imposed or incurred by either party by reason
                  of or
                  resulting from the other party’s breach of any representation, warranty,
                  covenant, condition, or agreement contained in this
                  Agreement.

                REMEDIES.  Consultant
                  and the Client acknowledge that in the event of a breach of this
                  Agreement
                  by either party, money damages would be inadequate and the non-breaching
                  party would have no adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, in the
                  event of any controversy concerning the rights or obligations under
                  this
                  Agreement, such rights or obligations shall be enforceable in a
                  court of
                  equity by a decree of specific performance.  Such remedy,
                  however, shall be cumulative and non-exclusive and shall be in
                  addition to
                  any other remedy to which the parties may be
                  entitled.

                Amendment.  This
                  Agreement may be amended or modified at any time or in any manner,
                  but
                  only by an instrument in writing executed by the parties
                  hereto.

                Entire
                  Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement
                  between Consultant and Client relating to the subjects addressed
                  in this
                  Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes any and all prior
                  agreements, arrange­ments, or understandings (written or oral) between
                  the parties.  No understan­dings, statements, promises, or
                  inducements contrary to the terms of this Agreement exist.  No
                  representations, warranties, cove­nants, or conditions, express or
                  implied, other than as set forth herein, have been made by any
                  party.

                Waiver.  Any
                  failure of any party to this Agreement to comply with any of its
                  obligations, agreements, or conditions hereunder may be waived
                  in writing
                  by the party to whom such compliance is owed.  The failure of
                  any party to this Agreement to enforce at any time any of the provisions
                  of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of
                  any such
                  provision or a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to
                  enforce
                  each and every such provision.  No waiver of any breach of or
                  non-compliance with this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver
                  of any
                  other or subsequent breach or
                  non-compliance.

                  Effect.  This Agreement is binding on the parties hereto and

                  administrators, executors, successors, and

                Attorney's
                  Fees. If any action at law or in equity, including an action for
                  declaratory relief, is brought to enforce or interpret the provisions
                  of
                  this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
                  reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other costs incurred
                  in
                  proceeding with the action from the other party. Should either
                  party be
                  represented by in-house counsel, all parties agree that such party
                  may
                  recover attorney's fees incurred by that in-house counsel in an
                  amount
                  equal to that attorney's normal fees for similar matters, or, should
                  that
                  attorney not normally charge a fee, by the prevailing rate charged
                  by
                  attorneys with similar background in that legal
                  community.

                Severability.  In
                  the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this
                  Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal,
                  or
                  unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
                  un-enforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this
                  Agreement.
                  Instead, this Agreement shall be construed as if it never contained
                  any
                  such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
                  provisions.

    Dear
      Mr.
      Casciola:

    

    This
      letter agreement ("Agreement") confirms the terms and conditions of the
      exclusive engagement of Northern Professional Advisors, Inc. ("NPA") by Salon
      City, Inc. (the "Entity") to render certain professional to the
      Entity:

    

    1.           Services.  NPA
      agrees to perform the following services:

    

    
      	
              (a)  

            	
              Assist
                with the preparation of SEC Form 10-SB and board
                resolutions;

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)  

            	
              Assist
                with general corporate consulting through the term as discussed
                below;

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)  

            	
              Perform
                such other services as the Entity and NPA shall mutually agree to
                in
                writing.

            

    

    

    2.           Fees.  The
      Entity agrees to pay NPA for its services with a financial advisory fee
      ("Advisory Fee") of 5,000,000 shares of common stock. A stock certificate will
      be delivered to us at the commencement of the engagement.

    

    3.           Term.  The
      term of this Agreement shall commence on March 10, 2007 and end 90 days from
      this time (the "Term"). This agreement may be terminated by the Entity with
      30
      days prior written notice to NPA. If the Entity terminates this Agreement prior
      to the expiration of the Term, the Entity shall pay to NPA all reasonable
      expenses incurred, in accordance with Paragraph 5 hereof. Any obligation
      pursuant to this Paragraph 3, and pursuant to Paragraphs 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8
      hereof, shall survive the termination or expiration of this
      Agreement.

    

    4.           Expenses.   The
      Entity agrees to reimburse NPA for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket fees,
      expenses and costs (including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, travel,
      accommodations, telephone, computer, courier and supplies) in connection with
      the performance of its services under this Agreement, upon prior written
      approval. All such fees, expenses and costs will be billed at any time by
      NPA and are payable by the Entity when invoiced. Upon expiration of the
      Agreement any unreimbursed fees and expenses will be immediately due and
      payable.

    5.           Indemnification.  In
      addition to the payment of fees and reimbursement of fees and expenses provided
      for above, the Entity agrees to indemnify NPA and its affiliates with regard
      to
      the matters contemplated herein, as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto,
      which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

    

    6.           Matters
      Relating to Engagement.   The Entity acknowledges that NPA
      has been retained solely to provide the services set forth in this Agreement.
      In
      rendering such services, NPA shall act as an independent contractor, and any
      duties of NPA arising out of its engagement hereunder shall be owed solely
      to
      the Entity. The Entity further acknowledges that NPA may perform certain of
      the
      services described herein through one or more of its affiliates.

    

    The
      Entity acknowledges that NPA is a consulting firm that is engaged in providing
      financial advisory services.  The Entity acknowledges and agrees that
      in connection with the performance of NPA's services hereunder (or any other
      services) that neither NPA nor any of its employees will be providing the Entity
      with legal, tax or accounting advice or guidance (and no advice or guidance
      provided by NPA or its employees to the Entity should be construed as such)
      and
      that neither NPA nor its employees hold itself or themselves out to be advisors
      as to legal, tax, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The
      Entity shall consult with its own legal, tax, accounting and other advisors
      concerning all matters and advice rendered by NPA to the Entity and the Entity
      shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal
      of the risks, benefits and suitability of the advice and guidance given by
      NPA
      to the Entity and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither
      NPA
      nor its employees shall have any responsibility or liability whatsoever to
      the
      Entity or its affiliates with respect thereto.

    

    The
      Entity recognizes and confirms that in performing its duties pursuant to this
      Agreement, NPA will be using and relying on data, material, and other
      information (the "Information") furnished by the Entity, a Strategic Partner
      or
      their respective employees and representatives. The Entity will cooperate with
      NPA and will furnish NPA with all Information concerning the Entity and any
      Transaction, Alternate Transaction or Financing which NPA deems appropriate
      and
      will provide NPA with access to the Entity's officers, directors, employees,
      independent accountants and legal counsel for the purpose of performing NPA's
      obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The Entity hereby agrees and represents
      that all Information furnished to NPA pursuant to this Agreement shall be
      accurate and complete in all material respects at the time provided, and that,
      if the Information becomes materially inaccurate, incomplete or misleading
      during the term of NPA's engagement hereunder, the Entity shall promptly advise
      NPA in writing. Accordingly, NPA assumes no responsibility for the accuracy
      and

    EXHIBIT
      A: INDEMNIFICATION

    

    The
      Entity agrees to indemnify NPA, its employees, directors, officers, agents,
      affiliates, and each person, if any, who controls it within the meaning of
      either Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 15 of the
      Securities Act of 1933 (each such person, including NPA is referred to as
      "Indemnified Party") from and against any losses, claims, damages and
      liabilities, joint or several (including all legal or other expenses reasonably
      incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with the preparation for or
      defense of any threatened or pending claim, action or proceeding, whether or
      not
      resulting in any liability) ("Damages"), to which such Indemnified Party, in
      connection with providing its services or arising out of its engagement
      hereunder, may become subject under any applicable Federal or state law or
      otherwise, including but not limited to liability or loss (i) caused by or
      arising out of an untrue statement or an alleged untrue statement of a material
      fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in
      order
      to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which
      it
      was made, (ii) caused by or arising out of any act or failure to act, or (iii)
      arising out of NPA's engagement or the rendering by any Indemnified Party of
      its
      services under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Entity will not
      be
      liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that any Damages are
      found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction
      to
      have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified
      Party seeking indemnification hereunder.

    

    These
      indemnification provisions shall be in addition to any liability which the
      Entity may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party.

    

    If
      for
      any reason, other than a final non-appealable judgment finding an Indemnified
      Party liable for Damages for its gross negligence or willful misconduct the
      foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient
      to
      hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Entity shall contribute to the
      amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages
      in
      such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
      received by the Entity and its shareholders on the one hand and the Indemnified
      Party on the other, but also the relative fault of the Entity and the
      Indemnified Party as well as any relevant equitable considerations.

    

    Promptly
      after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or of the
      commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought, the
      Indemnified Party will notify the Entity in writing of the receipt or
      commencement thereof and the Entity shall have the right to assume the defense
      of such claim or action (including the employment of counsel reasonably
      satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of fees and expenses
      of
      such counsel), provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
      control its defense if, in the opinion of its counsel, the Indemnified Party's
      defense is unique or separate to it as the case may be, as opposed to a defense
      pertaining to the Entity.  In any event, the Indemnified Party shall
      have the right to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Entity, at
      the
      Entity's sole expense, to represent it in any claim or action in respect of
      which indemnity may be sought and agrees to cooperate with the Entity and the
      Entity's counsel in the defense of such claim or action.  In the event
      that the Entity does not promptly assume the defense of a claim or action,
      the
      Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel to defend such claim
      or
      action. Any obligation pursuant to this Annex shall survive the termination
      or
      expiration of the Agreement.
