This Engagement Letter sets forth the terms of a relationship between Analog Ventures, LLC (“Analog” or “Consultant”) and Patient Safety Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Franklin Capital Corporation (“PST” or “the Company”) as client, in connection with the implementation of certain business strategies of the Company.
1. Scope of Work. Analog shall consult to the Company on certain business matters, including with respect to the following:
|
|
(a) |
assisting the Company’s senior management and advisors in focusing its business on the health care products sector, to build shareholder value and encourage long-term investors in the Company; |
|
|
(b) |
assisting the Company, if requested, in a careful divestiture of non-essential holdings that are inconsistent with the Company’s long-term focus; and |
|
|
(c) |
assisting senior management in the establishment of criteria by which they will seek to measure progress of portfolio companies and increase quarterly accountability. |
2. Compensation. Analog's compensation for the above services shall be as follows:
(a) Fees and Expenses. Analog shall be paid a base consulting fee of $10,000 per month, together with such incremental fees, if any, as are accrued during each monthly period as specified on Annex A. Analog shall be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the services rendered hereby. In the case of individual expense items in excess of $100, Analog shall seek prior approval from the Company before incurring such expenses.
(b) Deferred Compensation. The parties agree to enter into a warrant agreement providing for Analog to be granted warrants to purchase the number of shares of the Company's stock as are set forth on Annex B.
3. Term. The term of this Engagement Letter shall be six (6) months from the date of execution. This Engagement Letter may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice, provided any compensation earned prior to or, within a reasonable time, after notice of such termination shall be payable to Consultant. In the event that additional time is required to fully complete the tasks contemplated hereby, the parties shall agree to discuss an extension in good faith, and may extend the term, by mutual agreement. This term shall apply to all the provisions of this Engagement Letter except for the provisions which have a term specified separately in their description and except for the provisions of Sections 9 and 11 hereof, which provisions shall survive the termination of this Engagement Letter.
