Dear Joey:

 

This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions under which Joey New York Inc. (the “Company”) has retained CAP Greenberg LLC (“CAP G”) to render certain strategic and capital raising activities.

During the term of the Agreement, Cap G will act as the Company’s exclusive advisor in connection with an acquisition of a personal care company and the introduction of the Company to potential investors for the purpose of raising debt and equity capital and other possible strategic partners and/or acquisitions.  To the extent that securities are sold, these services will be rendered by Lynx Capital, LLC (“Lynx”), with Joyce I. Greenberg as the “key” registered representative.

 

A retainer payment is due within 10 (ten) days of the signing of this engagement letter.  The retainer is $35,000, which can be paid monthly over two payments of $17,500.  In addition, success fees will be owed upon the closing of debt and equity financings.  If a securities transaction is contemplated, then a separate agreement will be established between Lynx and the Company.  The success fee for any debt financing that Cap G or Lynx arranges will be 1% for senior debt and 3% for mezzanine debt.  The success fee owed for equity capital raised is 7%.   The success fees will be reduced if the securities are placed with those individuals and entities the Company has had discussions and/or relationships with prior to the date of this agreement and such discussions have taken place within the last twelve months.

 

In addition to any fees that may be payable under this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse CAP G, upon request made from time to time, for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this engagement, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel (with such legal fees to be pre-approved by the Company).  Additionally, CAP G may request reimbursement for data services, printing, postage and overnight delivery service, among other things.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, all expenses in excess of U.S. $1000 must be pre-approved by the Company.

 

 

 

The term of the Agreement is twelve (12) months.  Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the Company will remain obligated to pay CAP G if the Company, within eighteen (18) months after any termination, enters into a financing agreement with any investors to which Lynx or CAP G made introductions. Upon either the expiration of this Agreement or the earlier termination, CAP G will furnish to the Company a list of prospective investors (the “List”) which were approved by the Company and who have been contacted with respect to this Agreement.

Confidentiality

Any proprietary information provided to CAP G or Lynx by the Company shall be held in confidence and be used only for the purpose proposed herein.  Upon termination of this Agreement, CAP G hereby agrees to return (or otherwise destroy) all proprietary information provided by the Company, except that CAP G shall be able to retain copies of any such materials they deem in their sole discretion to be commercially appropriate working papers kept in confidence by CAP G.  The confidentiality of said proprietary information shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

It is hereby agreed that CAP G will not make commercial use of the introductions made to potential acquisition targets except as may be provided under a separate agreement with the Company.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed and fully performed in New York. In the event of a dispute, the parties shall engage in a good faith effort to reach an amicable resolution, with or without the assistance of a mediator, prior to commencing legal action.  The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in the State and County of New York to adjudicate any dispute that may arise between them. In the event that a dispute arises with respect to any portion of the fees payable, or expenses reimbursable, to CAP G, and a lawsuit is commenced, the prevailing party in such lawsuit shall be responsible for the non-prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of such fees.

In acknowledgment that the foregoing and the attached Exhibit A correctly set forth the understanding reached by CAP G and the Company, please sign in the space provided below, whereupon this letter shall constitute a binding Agreement as of the date indicated above.

 
 

 
 

	Sincerely,
		CAP Greenberg LLC
