NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the

1.
Sales and Account Management Services.

QUAN shall make available and provide to
BROADCASTER, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
certain consulting services related to the management and development of
Broadcaster.com (the "Services").
(b)
From time to time, BROADCASTER may
request and QUAN may make available and provide to BROADCASTER, as the Parties
may mutually agree, services in addition to those set forth in Section 1(a)
above ("Additional Services"). Such Additional Services shall be
exclusively reflected in a separate service memoranda executed by both Parties
and attached hereto as addenda, and the terms of this Agreement shall govern
all such addenda.
(c)
QUAN shall perform and provide the
Services and any Additional Services for BROADCASTER in substantially the same
manner with the same degree of care, skill and prudence exercised by QUAN for
its own operations and QUAN shall expend its best efforts on behalf of both
BROADCASTER and Broadcaster.com.
(d)
Subject to the provisions of Section 6,
QUAN shall afford to BROADCASTER, its employees and authorized agents
and representatives reasonable access to all information related to the
Services or the Additional Services produced or generated by QUAN in the course
of providing the same, including without limitation, technical, economic and
business data, computer information data bases and the like.
2.
Fees.
(a) QUAN shall be paid a one-thousand
dollar (US $1,000.00) per month salary for each month that QUAN performs
Services in compliance with the terms of this
contract.
From time to time, QUAN shall prepare and submit to
BROADCASTER an invoice for that month’s Services or Additional Services
rendered by QUAN in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
BROADCASTER shall remit payment for said invoices within seven (7)
business days of receipt.
(b) QUAN acknowledges, understands, and
accepts that it is solely responsible for calculating and paying any and all

Agreement.

Included Expenses. BROADCASTER will
reimburse QUAN for pre-approved: meals; airfare; hotel; parking; and rental
cars associated with travel to meetings and other BROADCASTER designated
engagements.
(b)

ordinarily excluded but which BROADCASTER reasonably believes should be
reimbursed. BROADCASTER, in its sole discretion, may elect to reimburse
said ordinarily-excluded expenses. Each and every ordinarily-excluded expense
shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Under no circumstances shall
AM’s decision to reimburse an ordinarily-excluded expense be interpreted
as a waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

(a)
QUAN shall provide the Services and
Additional Services to BROADCASTER hereunder for the period beginning on June
1, 2006, and ending on June 1, 2009 or, with respect to each particular Service
or Additional Service, (i) on the date specified in a notice of termination
delivered pursuant to Section 3(b) below with respect to such Service or

Broadcaster may terminate any or all

of its material obligations under this Agreement and shall fail or refuse to
remedy such default to the reasonable satisfaction of the other party within 30
days after receipt of written notice, the non-breaching party may immediately
terminate this Agreement. If the default in performance relates only to a

limited to termination of that Service or Additional Service on the same terms
as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. If any party shall become
insolvent, be placed in receivership, make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or seek relief or have a petition filed against it under federal
bankruptcy law, either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon
written notice.
(c)

governmental regulatory agency materially affects a party's rights or

portion of this Agreement for any reason shall not terminate the obligations
described in Sections 6 and 7 which shall survive any such termination.

rights arising out of any act or omission of such party occurring prior m such
termination or expiration.

other for any purpose whatsoever.

QUAN, in providing the Services and the
Additional Services, will be solely responsible for (i) determining the terms
and conditions of employment between itself and its employees, agents and
representatives, including without limitation, hiring, termination, hours of
work, rates and payment of compensation, and (ii) the payment, reporting,
