HWH hereby accepts such engagement.

services in a form and substance satisfactory to HIET. This monthly retainer
fee covers account executive, account supervisor and management time, creative
effort and placement services. It does not cover out-of-pocket or the
production of collateral materials, which are provided for in paragraph VI.
III. ADDITIONAL FEES
At such times as HIET requires a major press conference (requiring
additional staffing) or special promotions, attendance at trade shows or
industry symposia outside the metropolitan New York areas or other such
extraordinary events, or the preparation of collateral or sales promotion
materials, additional charges for such events, and/or services will be
