2. Term: This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof, and shall continue for a six (6) month period (the "Term"). The Company can terminate this Agreement, under certain circumstances for Cause, with 30-days written notice.

4. Assignment: Consultant may not assign any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company.

5. Consultant Representations: Consultant agrees and represents: (a) that he is an independent contractor and not an employee or agent of the Company and that in acting pursuant to this engagement he will not legally bind or obligate the Company in any manner whatsoever; and (b) that the execution and delivery of its performance under this Agreement shall not violate or breech any agreement, contract or obligation currently in existence between the Consultant and any third party.

6. Reimbursement of Expenses.

7.

In addition, Consultant hereby agrees that during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of twenty-four months thereafter, he shall not engage in any activates that are competitive with the business of the Company, including without limitation, (a)engaging directly or indirectly in any social networking website or online website magazine, with a teen-targeted demographic; (b) soliciting or taking away any executive, employee, agent, representative, contractor, supplier, vendor, customer, franchisee, lender or investor of the Company, or attempting to so solicit or take away; (c) interfering with any contractual or other relationship between the Company and any executive, employee, agent, representative, contractor, supplier, vendor, customer, franchisee, lender or investor; or (d) using, for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company any Confidential Information of the Company. The items and projects set forth in Exhibit A of Ivan’s Employment Agreement are expressly and specifically excluded from this limitation.

8. Agreement: This Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing and shall be deemed to have been made and delivered in the State of New York, and this letter and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed as to validity, interpretation, construction, effect, and in all other respects by the internal laws of the State of New York. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be instituted exclusively in either the Supreme Court, New York County, State of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the parties hereby expressly submit to the personal jurisdiction of said courts. Consultant acknowledges that a material part of the consideration upon which the Company is relying to enter into this Agreement is the Consultant’s promises made in Paragraph 7 and that if Consultant breached such promise or promises the Company would suffer immediate and irreparable harm of a unique nature that could not be determined in liquidated damages. Accordingly, Consultant agrees that in the event he breaches or threatens to breach any of these promises the Company may obtain an injunction against any such breach or threat of breach in any one of the above identified New York courts.

 
 

 
9. Complete Agreement; Survival: This Agreement supercedes and replaces any and all prior consulting agreements, oral or written, between the parties, except, however, that certain Resignation Agreement, dated the date hereof.

By this indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall pay, on demand, to the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) any and all costs, expenses, judgments, fines, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred during any administrative proceeding or legal process instituted against either the Company or the Consultant whose material allegations include a claim or claims that the Indemnifying Party made a material misrepresentation or omission in connection with the conduct of the services rendered under this Agreement.
