Re: Consulting Agreement

 

This letter is to confirm our discussions concerning Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (referred to herein as the "Company") retaining the services of Noves Group (the "Consultant"), to provide the services as more specifically described below in this Consulting Agreement (referred to herein as this "Agreement") on the terms and conditions set forth below.

 

1. Consulting Services

 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby retains Consultant as a consultant and advisor to perform the consulting services specifically set out in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement and made a part hereof (hereafter referred to as the “Services”), as said Exhibit may be amended in writing from time to time, and Consultant agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, render such Services during the term of this Agreement. Such services shall be limited to those described in Exhibit A, as amended in writing from time to time. Consultant shall render services hereunder at such times and places as shall be mutually agreed by Company and Consultant.

 

(b) It is understood that the purpose of the Consulting is to provide periodic review and advice relevant to certain Company matters regarding Company’s desire to become a public company, and that neither Consultant nor Company will benefit if Consultant provides inaccurate advice or commentary based on insufficient information. To that end, Company shall provide Consultant, in advance of meetings, with accurate, unbiased and sufficient information for review the subject matter thereof, and shall promptly provide further information that Consultant reasonably deems relevant to forming any pertinent conclusions relevant to the matter for discussion. It is expressly understood that Consultant has no fiduciary obligation to Company, but instead a contractual one described by the terms of this Agreement; that Consultant’s role is to provide independent advice uninfluenced by commercial concerns; and that service as a Consultant does not require him to be an advocate for Company or its products in any forum, public or private. Company expressly agrees that under no circumstances will this role be compromised or inaccurately represented.

 

2. Compensation and reimbursement.

 

In consideration of the services to be provided by Consultant to the Company hereunder, the Company shall pay Consultant as set out in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement and made a part hereof (hereafter referred to as the “Compensation”). In addition, the Company shall reimburse Consultant for reasonable travel and other expenses Consultant incurs in connection with performing the Services. To obtain reimbursement, Consultant shall receive approval in advance of any such travel or other expenses. Company shall provide any documentation requirements and any travel policy restrictions to consultant in writing in advance, or be foreclosed from relying on such requirements and restrictions to deny reimbursement. The Company shall pay to Consultant invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days after the date of invoice. Company will accommodate Consultant’s request to arrange, at Company’s expense, for all of Consultant’s travel and accommodations in connection with such meetings.

 

The Company hereby guarantees to and in favour of the Consultant the due and timely performance and payment of all obligations, duties and liabilities of the Company and its affiliates under this Agreement and agrees to perform all obligations and pay all amounts due hereunder to Consultant forthwith upon any breach or failure by the Company or its affiliates in the performance of the terms and conditions hereof.
