AGREEMENT:
1. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR'S STATUS.
A. This Agreement contemplates the creation of a relationship of independent
contractor by and between IMBUE CONSULTING and Shopper; with Shopper as Contractor,
and IMBUE CONSULTING as Contractee. Nothing herein is intended to create,
nor should be construed as creating, the relationship of employer and employee.

meetings, to meet any quotas, or to serve on office duty. Further, IMBUE CONSULTING
shall have no control over the number of hours worked by Shopper.
2. FEES.
A. Shopper's compensation for services rendered pursuant hereto shall be based
solely on the number of acceptable reports received by IMBUE CONSULTING.
B. Fees will be deemed to have been earned by Shopper hereunder only if IMBUE
CONSULTING has received acceptable, properly completed reports in a timely
manner from Shopper. Payment to Shopper shall be made by check mailed on or
before the last day of the month following the month during which IMBUE CONSULTING
receives Shopper's report(s) in accordance herewith.
C. IMBUE CONSULTING shall be the sole and final judge of whether any completed
report is valuable to IMBUE CONSULTING, and whether any fee is due to Shopper
on account thereof. In the event of any dispute between Shopper and IMBUE
CONSULTING concerning whether Shopper is entitled to compensation for a report,
the decision of IMBUE CONSULTING with respect to such dispute shall be final
and binding upon Shopper.

and hold IMBUE CONSULTING harmless of and from any and all claims, demands,
suits, and liabilities, including costs and attorney's fees, to which IMBUE
CONSULTING may be subjected by reason of or in connection with any proceeding
arising out of the conduct or omissions of Shopper. It is the policy of IMBUE
CONSULTING to avoid litigation whenever possible but the decision whether
or not to enter into or maintain litigation shall be the decision of IMBUE
CONSULTING alone. This obligation shall survive the termination or expiration
of this Agreement.

to assist Shopper in mystery shopping for IMBUE CONSULTING, all of which shall
remain IMBUE CONSULTING's property.
6. EMPLOYMENT.

to employ any person employed by or engaged by IMBUE CONSULTING, or otherwise
directly or indirectly induce such persons to leave their employment or independent
contractor position thereat.

8. TERMINATION.
Either party may, at any time, terminate this Agreement for any reason, or
for no reason at all. However, each shall continue to comply with any and
all obligations of this Agreement that are intended to survive its termination
or expiration.
Shopper understands that in the event of termination or expiration, Shopper
will receive the balance of fees due to Shopper for reports that IMBUE CONSULTING

to Shopper and not those self-assigned by Shopper. IMBUE CONSULTING and Shopper
shall deal with each other fairly and in good faith relative to this Agreement.
Shopper further understands that if Shopper has participated in any shopping

Shopper understands and agrees that any breach or threatened breach by Shopper
of the non-competition and non-disclosure provisions contained in this Agreement
will cause IMBUE CONSULTING substantial, irreparable harm which is difficult
to measure, and that IMBUE CONSULTING therefore may obtain an injunction against
such conduct and Shopper consents thereto. This right is in addition to any
other rights IMBUE CONSULTING may have against Shopper for breach of this
Agreement. Therefore, whenever IMBUE CONSULTING may apply for restraining
order or injunction against Shopper for breaching or threatening to breach
this Agreement as described above, Shopper waives any notice to which Shopper
may be entitled and consents to such restraining order or injunction. Shopper
further agrees that any bond required of IMBUE CONSULTING in connection with
any such restraining order or preliminary injunction shall not cost more than
R5000.00. If IMBUE CONSULTING proceeds against Shopper in any region of South
Africa, on any cause of action arising out of this Agreement, Shopper agrees
that such court may exercise personal jurisdiction over Shopper.
In the event of any breach of this Agreement by Shopper, Shopper agrees to
pay IMBUE CONSULTING all losses and damages sustained as a result thereof,
as well as court costs, attorney fees, and related expenses.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
Each notice to either IMBUE CONSULTING or Shopper required hereunder shall
be in writing and mailed to the addresses set forth in this Agreement unless
and until any such address is changed in writing. IMBUE CONSULTING and Shopper
