Re:Advisory Services

 

Dear Mr. Emmons:

 

This letter confirms the engagement of a FINRA member firm (“FIRM”), as a non-exclusive financial advisor to Numbeer, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Good Earth Energy Conservation, Inc. and affiliates (together, referred to as the “Company”) for a period of 12 months commencing on the date of acceptance of this Agreement. In this regard, the parties agree to the following terms and conditions:

 

Engagement. The Company hereby engages and retains FIRM as a non-exclusive financial advisor for and on behalf of the Company to perform the Services as defined in Section 2. FIRM hereby accepts this engagement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

Services. In connection with its engagement pursuant to this Agreement, FIRM agrees to perform the following services for the Company:

 

As requested from time to time by the Company, FIRM shall provide financial advisory services to the Company pertaining to the Company’s business affairs. Without limiting the foregoing, FIRM will assist the Company in developing, studying and evaluating a financing plan, strategic and financial alternatives, and merger and acquisition proposals and will assist in negotiations and discussions pertaining thereto. Additionally, FIRM will assist the Company in preparing an offering document or presentation materials describing the Company, its operations, its historical performance and future prospects.

 

FIRM agrees to use its best efforts to make itself available to the Company’s officers, at such mutually agreed upon place and time during normal business hours for reasonable periods of time for the purpose of advising and assisting the Company in preparing reports, summaries, corporate and/or transaction profiles, due diligence packages and/or other material and documentation as shall be necessary, in the opinion of FIRM. Such availability will be subject to reasonable advance notice and mutually convenient scheduling. In addition, FIRM shall make its Investment Banking personnel available for telephone conferences with the Company’s principal financial sales and/or operating officers during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice and mutually agreed upon dates and times to assist with, and evaluate proposals.

 

 
 

 

FIRM will use its best efforts to coordinate the introduction of the Company to one or more individuals, firms or other entities (the “Candidates”) that may have an interest in pursuing some form of Business Combination with the Company and in analyzing, structuring, negotiating and effecting such a Business Combination. As used in this letter, the term “Business Combination” means (i) any merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination pursuant to which any portion of the business of the Company is combined with that of another entity, including without limitation any joint venture, licensing agreement, or product sale or marketing distribution agreement or (ii) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of any class of capital stock of the Company or substantially all of the assets of the Company. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed as an agreement by FIRM to issue any “fairness opinion” with respect to a Business Combination. In the event that the Company desires FIRM to issue a fairness opinion, the parties shall negotiate the terms of a separate agreement with respect thereto.

 

Compensation.

 

As compensation for the services rendered by FIRM to the Company pursuant to this Agreement and in addition to the expense allowance set forth in Section 4 (“Expenses”) below, the Company shall issue to FIRM 158,933 restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) as set forth below: 39,737 Shares delivered within five days of the filed corporate amendments with the applicable Secretary of State of incorporation as stated in the Form 8-K/A and Company’s Information Statement to be filed and distributed by August 15, 2013, that immediately vest and 13,244 Shares delivered on the first day of every month starting the 4th month from the date of execution of this Agreement until the 12th month from the date of execution of this Agreement, which shall vest upon issuance. The Shares will be adjusted to give effect to the anticipated forward split on par with all of current shareholders.

 

The Shares shall be issued in the name of FIRM and certain affiliates/employees of FIRM by delivery by FIRM of instructions to the Company providing for the names of designees who are employees and/or affiliates of FIRM. The Company shall deliver to FIRM and the Company’s transfer agent, legal opinion letters for FIRM and for each designee, at the time that the shares are eligible to be sold pursuant to SEC Rule 144, upon FIRM’s request. It is understood that the total value of FIRM’s compensation pursuant to the services rendered under this Agreement will not be recognized and can’t be valued until after FIRM and its designees receive the proceeds from the sale of all of the Shares.

 

Expenses. In addition to the compensation in Section 4, “Compensation” above, The Company agrees to reimburse FIRM, upon request made from time to time, for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by FIRM in connection with its activities under this Agreement; provided, however, FIRM shall not incur any expense in excess of $500 without the prior written consent of the Company. These expenses include but are not limited to long distance phone charges, airfare, hotel lodging and meals, transportation, outside consultants, printing, and overnight express mail incurred by FIRM in fulfilling its duties under this Agreement.

In such capacity, FIRM shall act as an independent contractor, and any duties of FIRM arising out of its engagement pursuant to this Agreement shall be owed solely to the Company.
