Retainer Agreement between Fastfix, Inc. and Mintz & Fraade, P.C. dated February 7, 2011

Gentlemen:

This letter will set forth our agreement (“Retainer Agreement”) with respect to the engagement of our professional and paraprofessional services by Fast Fix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “Fastfix”).  This Retainer Agreement replaces and supersedes the agreement between the Company and Mintz & Fraade, P.C. (“M&F”), dated May 6, 2011.

1. We agree to provide the Company with the following professional and paraprofessional services (the “Services”):

A. Preparation of an Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which the Stockholders of the Company shall acquire approximately 88% of a public shell company (“PubCo.”), and the Company shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo. (the “Acquisition”);

B. Attend the closing of the Acquisition;

C. Prepare a Super 8-K with respect to the Acquisition which shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days after the close of the Acquisition;

D. Prepare a Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement which shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

E. Preparation of the documents for a market maker to file a Form 211 for quotation of the Company’s securities upon the Over the Counter Bulletin Board;

 

F. Preparation of either: (i) one Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC or (ii) one Private Placement Memorandum, with respect to raising funds for the Company;

G. Except as otherwise provided in Article “4” of this Retainer Agreement, completion of forms for compliance with state blue sky laws for no more than twelve (12) states for investors in a private offering or a public offering pursuant to the Registration Statement, as the case may be; and

H. Preparation of minutes for Board of Directors and Stockholders’ Meetings limited to the subject matter of this Retainer Agreement.

I. The Services listed in this Article “1” of this Retainer Agreement shall be completed on, or prior to, December 31, 2011.

2. Our fee for our Services shall be one hundred thousand ($100,000) dollars payable from fifty percent (50%) of the first two hundred thousand ($200,000) dollars received after the first three hundred thousand ($300,000) dollars received (50% of the first $300,000 received is the payment for redemption of eighty-eight (88%) percent of the common stock of PubCo.) from any source including, but not limited to: (A) the sale of shares of the Company to the public pursuant to a Registration Statement or (B) the sale of shares of the Company pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum.

3. The fee set forth in Article “2” of this Retainer Agreement shall not include any services which are not set forth in Article “1” of this Retainer Agreement.  Our additional fees for services which are not included in Article “1” of this Retainer Agreement shall be mutually agreed upon by us prior to the commencement of any services.

4. The fees which are set forth in Article “2” of this Retainer Agreement include fees (but not expenses) for the services set forth in Paragraph “F” of Article “1” of this Retainer Agreement with respect to the completion of forms for compliance with state blue sky laws for no more than twelve (12) states for investors in a private offering or a public offering pursuant to the Registration Statement.  However, you agree to pay additional fees if the forms for compliance with state blue sky laws are completed in more than twelve (12) states for initial investors in a private offering or a public offering or if the Company’s securities are offered in states with relatively stringent and difficult state securities compliance laws.  Our additional fees shall be mutually agreed upon by us prior to the commencement of any services.

5. In addition to the fees which are set forth in Articles “2”, “3” and “4’ of this Retainer Agreement, you agree to pay all of our reimbursable expenses in connection with the services to be rendered hereunder, including, but not limited to, photocopies, long distance telephone, word processing, overnight deliveries, computerized research, secretarial overtime, meals, postage, taxis, messenger services, facsimiles, and travel expenses.  Any payment which is due to us pursuant to this Article “5” of this Retainer Agreement shall be made within fifteen (15) days after we mail our bills for such expenses; provided, however, that all expenses with respect to filing fees and travel expenses shall be advanced to us by you and we shall not be obligated to incur any of such expenses until such time as we are in receipt of such advance payment from you.

 

6. All records and files will be retained and disposed of in compliance with our policy in effect from time to time.  Subject to future changes, it is our current policy not to retain records related to a matter for more than five years from the date the matter is opened.  We intend to destroy all records which we are not obligated to retain, legally or otherwise, upon the expiration of five years.  Upon your prior written request, we will return records to you prior to their destruction.  It is not administratively feasible for us to advise you of the closing of a matter or the disposal of records.  We recommend, therefore, that you maintain your own files for reference or make a written request for your files at the conclusion of a matter.  If you have any questions concerning our records retention policy, please contact us.

7. Either of us shall have the right to discontinue our representation of you at any time and for any reason.  If either of us discontinues our representation of you, you agree to pay us for all of our expenses through the date of termination pursuant to Paragraph “5” of this Retainer Agreement. In addition, we shall be entitled to a fee based upon the reasonable value of the services rendered by us through the date of termination. If we cannot agree upon the reasonable value of our services, then we agree to submit such determination to arbitration in accordance with Paragraph “D” of Article “9” of this Retainer Agreement.  In determining “reasonable value,” a major factor to be considered by the arbitrators shall be the percentage of the Services which we have completed at the time of discontinuance of our representation of you in relation to the agreed fee of one hundred thousand ($100,000) dollars for all of the Services pursuant to Article “2” of this Retainer Agreement.

8. We hereby advise you that we are not aware of any conflicts with respect to our representation of you pursuant to this Retainer Agreement.

i. This Retainer Agreement shall in all respects be construed, governed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and be deemed to be an agreement entered into in the State of New York and made pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.  Moreover, the parties agree that pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of New York, if applicable, this Retainer Agreement shall in all respects be construed, governed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and be deemed to be an agreement entered into in the State of New York and made pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.

ii. The parties agree that they shall be deemed to have agreed to binding arbitration in New York, New York, with respect to the entire subject matter of any and all disputes relating to or arising in connection with this Retainer Agreement, including, but not limited to, any fee disputes or claims; provided, however, that any claims by you alleging professional malpractice shall not be subject to this Subparagraph “ii” of this Paragraph “D” of this Article “9” of this Retainer Agreement and shall be governed by Subparagraph “iii” of this Paragraph “D” of this Article “9” of this Retainer Agreement.  Any such arbitration shall be before one arbitrator and pursuant to the commercial rules then existing of the American Arbitration Association in the State of New York.

By executing this Retainer Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read and that you understand Section 137 of the Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (“NYCRR”) and the written instructions and procedures for the local program designated to resolve fee disputes between attorneys and clients, a summary of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit “A”.  By executing this Retainer Agreement, you acknowledge that you understand that you are waiving your rights to a trial with respect to any and all disputes relating to or arising in connection with this Retainer Agreement, including, but not limited to, any fee disputes or claims; provided, however, that any claims by you alleging professional malpractice shall not be subject to this Subparagraph “ii” of this Paragraph “D” of this Article “9” of this Retainer Agreement and shall be governed by Subparagraph “iii” of this Paragraph “D” of this Article “9” of this Retainer Agreement.  In all arbitrations, judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The parties specifically designate the Courts in the City of New York, State of New York as properly having venue for any proceeding to confirm and enter judgment upon any such arbitration award.  The parties hereby consent to and submit to personal jurisdiction over each of them by the Courts of the State of New York in any action or proceeding to enforce the arbitration award, waive personal service of any and all process and specifically consent that in any such action or proceeding, any service of process may be effectuated upon any of them by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses which are set forth on page one of this Retainer Agreement or in each case to such other addresses as shall have last been furnished by the like notice.  The parties agree, further, that the prevailing party in any such arbitration as determined by the arbitrator shall be entitled to such costs and attorney’s fees, if any, in connection with such arbitration as may be awarded by the arbitrators; provided, however, that if a proceeding is commenced to confirm and enter a judgment thereon by the Courts of the State of New York and such application is denied, no such costs or attorneys fees shall be paid.  In connection with the arbitrator's determination for the purpose of which party, if any, is the prevailing party, they shall take into account all of the factors and circumstances including, without limitation, the relief sought, and by whom, and the relief, if any, awarded, and to whom.  In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a party shall not be deemed to be the prevailing party in a claim seeking monetary damages, unless the amount of the arbitration award exceeds the amount offered in a legally binding writing signed by the other party by fifteen (15%) percent or more.  For example, if the party initiating arbitration (“A”) seeks an award of $10,000 plus costs and expenses, the other party (“B”) has offered A $5,000 prior to the commencement of the arbitration proceeding, and the arbitrator awards any amount less than $5,750 to A, the arbitrator should determine that B has “prevailed.”  The parties specifically designate the Courts in the City of New York, State of New York as properly having jurisdiction for any proceeding to confirm and enter judgment upon any such arbitration award.  The parties hereby consent to and submit to personal jurisdiction over each of them by the Courts of the State of New York in any action or proceeding, waive personal service of any and all process and specifically consent that in any such action or proceeding, any service of process may be effectuated upon any of them by certified mail, return receipt requested, in accordance with this Retainer Agreement.

 

The arbitrator shall have no power to award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort.  It shall also have no power to award (a) damages inconsistent with any applicable agreement between the parties or (b) punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages; and the parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in arbitration or in any other forum.  In no event, even if any other portion of these provisions is held invalid or unenforceable, shall the arbitrator have power to make an award or impose a remedy which could not be made or imposed by a court deciding the matter in the same jurisdiction.

Discovery shall be permitted in connection with the arbitration only to the extent, if any, expressly authorized by the arbitrator upon a showing of substantial need by the party seeking discovery.

All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential.  The parties and the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration only as provided in the rules of the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York.  Before making any such disclosure, a party shall give written notice to all other parties and shall afford such parties a reasonable opportunity to protect their interest.

iii. Any claim by you with respect to allegations of professional malpractice shall be required to be commenced solely in the Supreme Court of State of New York, County of New York, and you irrevocably waive any right to the following: (A) a trial by jury; and (B) removal of any action from the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, to any United States District Court, including, but not limited to, the United States District Court for  the Southern or Eastern Districts of New York.  With respect to any claims by you alleging professional malpractice the parties hereby: (1) consent to and irrevocably and exclusively submit to personal jurisdiction over each of them by the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, and (2) waive personal service of any and all process and specifically consent that in any such action or proceeding, any service of process may be effectuated upon any of them by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses set forth on page one of this Retainer Agreement, or to such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other party.
