  (GRAPHICS)

 

AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is executed as of November 1, 2017, by and between Avalon GloboCare Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Tauzin Consultants, LLC (“Consultant”).

 

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the Company and the Consultant agree to the following terms:

 

I. Duties and Responsibilities of Consultant

 

The Company agrees that the following list of Duties and Responsibilities is a list of services in which Consultant is able and willing to perform on the Company’s behalf. Consultant’s retainer shall not be affected if Company does not request, in written form, any particular elements of this list at any time.

 

Short-Term Activity

 

In the first several weeks of our relationship, Consultant will thoroughly examine and evaluate the Company’s previous and existing strategies and tactics. As with all new clients, Consultant will then build upon and enhance successful strategies and reevaluate and modify strategies that have underperformed or failed. Targeted and prioritized lists of likely healthcare-related companies will be developed thereafter, based on a market analysis and Consultant’s collective contacts. This introductory phase will not, in any way, preclude Consultant from making targeted business development introductions on Company’s behalf. This period simply ensures that together our organizations properly lay down the foundation for our relationship. On a parallel track will be key initiatives on government relations activities. (1) In speaking with Company’s executives, Consultant seeks a thorough download of previous/existing relationships with key players in the US health care industry, as well as interactions with federal legislative and/or regulatory agencies if any. In addition, we would like to learn of any challenges or interests the Company has, or anticipates having due to federal laws or regulations. (2) In order to open doors to potential business opportunities by building the Company’s profile in Congress, Consultant would like to develop a Hill outreach strategy that would involve meeting with Members of Congress and key staff members. There is great benefit in meeting with select members of the Cancer Caucuses, the Aging Committee and/or members with a health or scientific background.

Long-Term Activity

 

Develop marketing materials:

Consultant will work with Company to identify an overarching message that articulates Company’s importance as a premium healthcare management provider and developer. This will serve as the key message Company wants to communicate to potential business partners and key policy makers. It is essential to have one strong theme that can run through all communications. Consultant will carefully tailor any message and materials, where appropriate, to demonstrate the specific benefits of our request to the entity.

 

Provide access to corporate executives:

Drawing from our extensive contact network in the area of healthcare, Consultant will consistently develop relationships and facilitate introductions on the Company’s behalf, at a pace deemed appropriate by the Company. Congressman Tauzin’s access to top decision makers representing many of Company’s potential customers and partners will streamline the due diligence and relationship-building process, while providing immediate validation of the Company even before the first introductory call is held.

 

Develop and implement effective outreach strategy for Congress and other key 3rd party groups:

Consultant will work with Company to develop and act upon a strategy to introduce Company’s executives to key members in the US House and Senate and 3rd party groups where there’s opportunity to meet other key industry leaders in the healthcare industry. As important, Consultant will carefully tailor any message and materials, where appropriate, for each audience.

 

Direct access and reliable communications with Consultant:

Consultant will meet or speak regularly with the appropriate officers of Company to assess the strategic plan and technical issues with our collective plan, making changes as necessary on an on-going basis to best achieve Company’s goals.
