Exhibit 10.1

INDEPENDENT CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This Independent Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”) is hereby made and entered
into between ARC Document Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ARC” or
“Company”) and John Toth (“Consultant”) as of February 2, 2015 (the “Effective
Date”) and on the contract terms, conditions, and provisions as follows:

1.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

For the Term of this Agreement, Company retains Consultant to provide consulting
services to the Company. Consultant will render such services including, but not
limited to, financial operations and other finance issues for the Company, as
the Company may, in its discretion, from time to time request (the “Services”).
The Company acknowledges that Consultant may pursue other business employment
opportunities on a full-time or part-time basis during the Term, subject to
Section 11 below, and that the amount of time that Consultant may have available
to provide the Consulting Services may as a consequence at times be limited.
Company and Consultant acknowledge that Consultant had a “separation from
service” with the Company (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(h)) on January 30, 2015, and Consultant shall not provide
services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in excess of seven (7) hours
per week over the Term.

2.
FEES AND PAYMENT

Company agrees to pay Consultant a fee of $15,000 for the Services provided by
the Consultant described above. The Company will remit payment in three equal
installments by February 28, March 31, and April 30, respectively to Consultant.

TERM

The Term of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date through April 30,
2015.

written notice to the other party. This Agreement terminates automatically on
the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) bankruptcy or insolvency of
either party; (b) death or disability of Consultant; (c) satisfactory completion
of the Services; or (d) completion of the Term (unless renewed or extended upon
express written consent of the both Parties).

Should either party default in the performance of this Agreement or materially
breach any of its provisions, the non-breaching party may terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice to the breaching party. Termination shall be
effective immediately on receipt of the notice, or five (5) days from mailing of

provide the Services in a professional manner, without the advice, control, or
supervision of Company. Failure to perform services in a professional manner

other party. Consultant covenants and agrees that Consultant shall not at any

consistent with ARC's agreement with such third party.

D.ARC’s Property. Consultant hereby confirms that trade secrets, confidential
information, all information concerning customers who utilize ARC’s goods,
services or facilities, or other proprietary information constitute ARC's
exclusive property (regardless of whether Consultant possessed or claims to have
possessed such information prior to the date hereof). Consultant agrees that

all of its property, including but not limited to notes, notebooks, memoranda,

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Consultant understands, acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of any of the covenants and promises contained in this
Agreement, ARC shall suffer irreparable injury for which there is no adequate
remedy at law. ARC will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief from the

Agreement. Consultant further acknowledges that ARC also shall have the right to
seek a remedy at law through arbitration as well as or in lieu of an injunction
in the event of any such breach.

14.
WAIVER OF BREACH

ARC’s waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Consultant does
not waive any subsequent breach by Consultant, nor does ARC’s failure to take
action against any other individual(s) or entitie(s) for similar breaches
operate as a waiver by ARC of a breach.

15.
SEVERABILITY

If any provision in this Agreement is determined to be in violation of any law,
rule or regulation or otherwise unenforceable, and cannot be modified to be
enforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity of any other
