Description of Verbal Management Consulting Agreement Between Europa Acquisition VI, Inc. and Peter Reichard.

 

 

On July 30, 2010, Mr. Reichard, the President and sole director of the Company, verbally agreed to provide funding to cover the costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next 12 months and beyond, until the Company is engaged in business activities that provide cash flow sufficient to cover the costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations. We currently have no written contractual agreements in place with Mr. Reichard to provide such funding. During the next 12 months, Mr. Reichard has agreed to cover costs including, but not limited to, the filing of Exchange Act reports, and consummating an acquisition. At this time we do not have the funds to pay for these filings and do not have any written agreement to raise funds to cover these expenses. However, we believe we will be able to meet these costs with funds provided by Mr. Reichard. At such time that the Company has the ability to cover the costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations with cash flow from operations, Mr. Reichard will no longer be obligated to cover such costs.  The Company not currently undertaking any steps to repay Mr. Reichard, but the understanding is that he will be repaid when the Company is sold.f1012ga2ex10i_europa7.htm
