Exhibit 10.1

 

SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

 

This Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of April 1, 2020
(“Effective Date”), by and between TLF Bio Innovation Lab LLC, a Delaware
limited liability corporation whose principal place of business is at 44 Cypress
Street, Brookline, MA 02445 (“Provider”), and NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(“Company”), a Delaware corporation whose address is 2000 Powell St. Suite 1150,
Emeryville, CA 94608, each separately referred as a “Party” and collectively the
“Parties.”

 

Company desires to hire Provider to provide specified services for Company as
outlined in, and pursuant to the terms of, this Agreement and Provider is
willing to provide such services to Company, on the terms and conditions set
forth herein.

 

1.

Services

 

1.1   Scope of Work. Provider shall serve as Company’s product manager for its
product re-launch of CelleRx (the “Product”), repositioning the Product in the
market as a lifestyle hygiene product. Generally, Provider’s scope of work shall
include but not be limited to: (i) executing the launch of the Product in the
marketplace; (ii) conducting thorough market and product research relating to
the Product on an ongoing basis; (iii) developing Product positioning, marketing
messaging and Product differentiation strategy; (iv) proposing and coordinating
the distribution of Product marketing and advertising in appropriate digital and
offline channels, and analysis of which Product marketing and advertising is
best driving potential buyer traffic and resulting in Product purchase
conversion; (v) creating a Product strategy and collateral for marketing,
advertising, public relations, training/education and visual merchandising
(including digital strategy); and (vi) assisting Company’s executive team in its
development of Company’s new direct-to-consumer strategy for the Product.

 

1.2   Performance of Services. The Parties agree that Provider will undertake
the services set forth in Exhibit A (the “Services”) in a timely and
professional manner consistent with the time frames and terms set forth in
Exhibit A. In performing the Services, Provider agrees to provide its own
equipment, tools and other materials at its own expense. Under certain
circumstances agreed to in advance by Company, Company will make its facilities
available to Provider as is reasonably necessary for the provision of the
Services. For any work performed on the premises of Company, Provider will
comply with Company’s security, confidentiality, safety and health policies.
Provider may not subcontract or otherwise delegate its obligations under this
Agreement or use any members, employees, or representatives other than those
individuals listed in Exhibit B to fulfill such Services without Company’s prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

1.3   No Conflict of Interest. Provider represents and warrants that entering
into this Agreement and the performance of the Services under this Agreement do
not conflict with or violate any duties or any agreement pursuant to which
Provider is a Party or third party beneficiary. Provider agrees during the term
of this Agreement not to accept work, enter into any agreement, or accept any
obligation that is inconsistent or incompatible with its obligations under this
Agreement, or the scope of Services rendered to Company. Provider further agrees
not to provide any services that are the same or similar to those Services
Provider is providing to the Company to any competitor of Company in the
hypochlorous acid skin care market targeted during the term of this Agreement.

 

1.4   Business Development. Provider is encouraged to present to the Company
executive team any strategic business development ideas Provider may have
(including, but not limited to, identifying new products, possible M&A activity,
strategic partnerships and fundraising). Should Provider wish to present a
comprehensive proposal that includes a detailed term sheet and additional
compensation, the executive team will review and, if appropriate, work with
Provider to present the opportunity to the Board for consideration. Any Board
communications by Provider, in relation to this or any topic, will properly be
sent to the Company CEO and discussed first before sent to the Board, as is
typical and appropriate corporate protocol. The Company executive team and/or
Board will be responsible for evaluating the proposal and determining Provider’s
compensation.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

1.5    New Products. The Parties may mutually agree in writing that Provider
will offer additional services for the Product besides those currently provided
for in this Agreement, and/or similar services for other Company products. In
the event that the Parties mutually agree to add such services for the Product
and/or other product services (collectively, “New Services”), then the Parties
will execute an addendum to this Agreement providing the specifics of such
arrangement for New Services. Further, any additional revenue received by the
Company directly resulting from any New Services would count toward the Revenue
Metrics as outlined in Exhibit E hereto and the resulting Revenue Metrics Equity
Award calculation outlined in Section 2.1(ii)(b) below, as appropriate.

 

2.

Compensation

 

2.1    Compensation for Services.

 

(i)     Monthly Cash Compensation. As cash compensation for the Services
performed by Provider, Company will pay Provider a monthly fee of $37,500 due
within ten (10) calendar days of each month end during the term of this
Agreement.

 

(ii)     Milestone/Revenue Metrics Equity Awards. Subject to Section 2.2 and the
Company receiving shareholder approval to increase its authorized shares of
common stock at the Company’s 2020 annual meeting, in addition to the monthly
cash compensation outlined in subpart (i) above for the Services rendered, upon
Provider’s successful completion of the Milestones (both as defined and further
described in Exhibit A attached hereto) and Revenue Metrics (as further
described in Exhibit E attached hereto) within the applicable specified time
periods, Provider will be issued Company equity awards, as per the below:

 

(a)     Milestone Equity Award. Provider shall provide a written report to
Company no later than 10 calendar days after such applicable period end of April
30, 2020, May 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, outlining how such deliverables as
outlined in Exhibit A attached hereto for each period were accomplished and how
such deliverables resulted in a tangible benefit to Company. Thereafter, upon
Company’s receipt of each written report that conveys such Milestones have been
met, Provider will be issued on July 15, 2020 warrants exercisable for 500,000
shares of Company common stock, to be immediately exercisable with a strike
price of US$0.865, which is equal to the average closing price of Company’s
common stock in April 2020, as reported by the NYSE American (the “Milestone
Equity Award”).

 

(b)     Revenue Metrics Equity Awards. Provider will be issued warrants
exercisable for 250,000 shares of Company common stock, to be immediately
exercisable with a strike price of US$0.865, no later than 15 calendar days
after the end of each month of July through December 2020 in which Company’s
revenue for the Product equals or exceeds 80% of the revenue projections in
Exhibit E attached hereto (for potential aggregate warrants exercisable for
1,500,000 shares of Company common stock, the “Revenue Metrics Equity Awards”
and together with the Milestone Equity Award, the “Equity Awards”). Such revenue
projections are those Provider has provided to Company’s Board of Directors for
engagement of the Services outlined hereto and specifically reflect the
following: US$281,025 in revenue for the month of July 2020; US$426,455 in
revenue for the month of August 2020; US$773,225 in revenue for the month of
September 2020; US$1,019,134 in revenue for the month of October 2020;
US$1,253,271 in revenue for the month of November 2020; and US$1,325,183 in
revenue for the month of December 2020. For the avoidance of doubt, Provider is
only considered to meet such Revenue Metrics if its expenses and other costs are
in line and do not exceed those also outlined in Exhibit E attached hereto.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Both the Milestone Equity Award and Revenue Metrics Equity Awards will be
subject to the terms of the separate warrant agreements, if and when issued.

 

2.2    Accredited Investor Representation. To the extent that any consideration
given to Provider by Company is in the form of Company equity, as of the
Effective Date and any date that Provider is granted equity awards, Provider
represents and warrants to Company that it is an “accredited investor” under
Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to such
definition laid out in Exhibit C attached hereto. Further, Provider agrees to
notify Company if it no longer meets the requirements of an “accredited
investor” and furnish any information upon request by Company to assure
compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection
with such equity award.

 

2.3    Pre-Approved Expenses. Provider will seek Company pre-approval of all
third party and any other expenses (including, but not limited to, expenses in
connection with Operation Activity and Variable Advertising Activity, both as
defined below) incurred in performing Services under this Agreement. If
approved, Provider shall coordinate and help facilitate Company paying such
expenses directly to such third party. For purposes of this section,
“Operational Activity” includes, but is not limited to, expenses outsourced by
Provider related to influencers, e-commerce platform design, configuration and
management, brand architecture, style guide and package redesign and other
operation expenses. For purposes of this section, “Variable Advertising
Activity” includes expenses to agencies like Facebook, Google SEM and other
social media platforms.

 

2.4    Travel Expenses. Travel expenses are not reimbursable except for
pre-approved and reasonable travel expenses incurred by Provider in accordance
with the Company’s Travel & Expense Policy, attached as Exhibit D hereto, for
travels requested by Company, and solely and exclusively for the purpose of
carrying on Company’s business at such travels. However, in no case shall travel
time be reimbursed. Air fares shall be economy class.

 

3.

Independent Contractor

 

3.1    Relationship. Provider’s relationship with Company will be that of an
independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement should be construed to
create a partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, agency or employer-employee
relationship between the Parties. Neither the Provider, nor its members,
employees or representatives (including, but not limited to, those listed on
Exhibit B) are agents of Company and are not authorized and will not have any
authority to make any representation, contract or commitment on behalf of
Company. Further, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to confer upon any
third party other than the Parties hereto a right of action under this Agreement
or in any manner whatsoever. Provider understands and agrees that none of
Provider, its members, employees or representatives (including, but not limited
to, those listed on Exhibit B) will be entitled to any of the employee benefits
that Company may make available to its employees. Provider will not represent or
promise to any of (i) its members, employees or representatives (including, but
not limited to, those listed on Exhibit B), or (ii) any subcontractor or
employee Provider hires or employs with Company’s consent as required by Section
1.2 to assist it in the performance of the Services, that they will be entitled
to any of the employee benefits that Company may make available to its
employees.

 

3.2    Taxes. Provider will be solely responsible for all taxes, penalties and
the filing of tax returns, social security, disability and other contributions
with respect to Provider’s income from the payments made by Company under this
Agreement and the Equity Awards issued pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof. Company
will not withhold or make payments for social security, unemployment insurance
or disability insurance contributions, Internal Revenue Code Section 409A or
obtain worker’s compensation insurance for Provider or any of its members,
employees or representatives. Nor will Company have any obligation to indemnify
Provider or any of its members, employees or representatives for such tax
obligations.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

4.

Intellectual Property

 

4.1    Prior Work. Company understands that the members and employees of
Provider have experience and knowledge in the Services, and acknowledges that
such prior experience is one of the factors for Company’s choice of Provider for
the Services. Company agrees that all creations (including, without limitation,
any technology, inventions, discoveries, works of authorship or other prior
creations) that were conceived, created or reduced to practice by or for
Provider (alone or with others) prior to commencement of Provider’s professional
services work for Company (collectively, “Prior Work”) are owned by Provider and
not assigned to Company under this Agreement.

 

4.2    Developments. Provider agrees that all worldwide rights, title and
interest in any ideas, techniques, inventions, systems, feedback, formulae,
business or marketing plans, projections or analyses, discoveries, technical
information, programs, prototypes, improvements or creations that are related to
Company’s business or products and that Provider or its members, employees or
representatives (including, but not limited to, those listed on Exhibit B)
acting on behalf of Provider creates, conceives, discovers, reduces to practice
or makes, alone or with others, in the course of performing the Services
(collectively, “Developments”) will belong exclusively to Company. In accordance
with these obligations:

 

(i)     Provider hereby assigns in perpetuity to Company all rights, title and
interest in any invention, improvement or discovery conceived of, or first
reduced to practice, by Provider or its members, employees or representatives
(including, but not limited to, those listed on Exhibit B) in the course of
performing the Services.

 

(ii)     Provider hereby assigns in perpetuity to Company all rights, title and
interest in the copyright to any copyrightable Development that is a work of
authorship, whether in human readable or machine readable form, first created or
composed by Provider or its members, employees or representatives (including,
but not limited to, those listed on Exhibit B) in the course of performing the
Services, including without limitation any and all literary works, musical
works, dramatic works, pictorial works, graphic works, audiovisual works and
sound recordings. Provider agrees to waive any moral rights it may have or
acquire in the Developments, and to the extent any such moral rights cannot be
waived, Provider hereby grants Company an exclusive, irrevocable, royalty free
license to reproduce, distribute, sell, modify, make derivative works of,
translate, publish, dispose of, and use any such moral rights and to authorize
others to exercise the foregoing rights.

 

(iii)     Provider represents and warrants that if Provider or its members,
employees or representatives (including, but not limited to, those listed on
Exhibit B) furnishes to Company any patented or patentable inventions or any
copyrighted or copyrightable material that were not first conceived of, reduced
to practice, discovered, created or composed by Provider or its members,
employees or representatives (including, but not limited to, those listed on

such inventions or material before or at the time of delivering the Developments
to Company and (2) hereby grants Company a royalty-free, nonexclusive, and
irrevocable license to reproduce, distribute, sell, modify, make derivative
works of, translate, publish, use and dispose of these inventions and material
and to sub-licenses all of the foregoing rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Provider will not incorporate pre-existing material owned by any third party
into any Development without Company’s prior written knowledge and consent.

 

(iv)     Provider agrees to execute (or has executed) all documents and to take
all other action reasonably requested by Company to enable Company to secure,

(v)     Provider agrees to take all legally necessary action to ensure that all
members, employees or representatives (including, but not limited to, those
listed on Exhibit B) engaged by Provider in the performance of this Agreement
will be bound by the terms of this Section 4. Provider represents and warrants
that it has or will have with its members, employees and representatives engaged
in the Services written agreements sufficient to ensure that all rights,
including moral rights, in the Developments will be assigned and licensed to
Company as set forth under this Section 4, and Provider will furnish such
executed agreements to Company upon request.

 

5.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND HIPAA

 

5.1  Confidential Information. Provider agrees and acknowledges that during the
performance of the Services, Provider and its members, employees and
representatives (including, but not limited to, those listed on Exhibit B), may
receive and have access to confidential, proprietary, and trade secret
information about Company and/or its clients (“Confidential Information”). For
purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means and will include,
but is not limited to: (i) any information, materials or knowledge regarding
Company and its business, financial condition, products, programming techniques,
customers, suppliers, technology or research and development that is disclosed
to Provider and its members, employees or representatives (including, but not

employees or representatives (including, but not limited to, those listed on
Exhibit B) have access to in connection with performing the Services; (ii) the
Developments; and (iii) the existence and terms and conditions of this
Agreement; provided however that Provider may reference Company as a client of
Provider using a statement approved in advance by Company. Regardless of whether
so marked or identified, however, any information that the recipient knew or
should have known, under the circumstances, was considered confidential or
proprietary by Company, will be considered Confidential Information of Company.

 

5.2  Protection of Confidential Information. Provider agrees to hold all
Confidential Information in strict confidence, not to use it in any way,
commercially or otherwise, except in performing the Services, and not to
disclose it to others. Provider further agrees to take all action reasonably
necessary to protect the confidentiality of all Confidential Information
including, without limitation, implementing and enforcing procedures to minimize
the possibility of unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information.
Provider will ensure that each of its members, employees, subcontractors (if
any) or representatives (including, but not limited to, those listed on Exhibit
B) who will have access to the Confidential Information executes an agreement,
the form of which may be subject to the approval of Company in its sole
discretion (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), obligating the member, employee,
subcontractor or representative, as applicable, to keep all Confidential
Information confidential and not to use the Confidential Information in any way,
commercially or otherwise, except in performing the Services, and Provider will
furnish such executed agreements to Company upon request.

 

5.3  Exceptions. Confidential Information excludes information that (i) Provider
can establish through written records; (ii) is readily accessible to the public
in a written publication prior to the date of this Agreement; (iii) becomes
generally known, previously disclosed or available to the public through no
improper action by Provider; (iv) was independently developed by Provider
without use or reference to Company’s Confidential Information; (v) becomes
known to Provider, without restriction, from a third party not bound by an
obligation of confidentiality covering the Confidential Information; or (vi) as
required by law or any regulatory or government authority, provided that
Provider shall provide prompt prior written notice thereof to Company to enable
Company to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent the disclosure.

 

5.4 Non-solicitation. The Parties covenant and agree that during the period
expiring one (1) year after the date of this Agreement, neither Party will,
directly or indirectly (through its representatives, professional search firms
or otherwise), solicit, induce, encourage or attempt to solicit, induce or
encourage any employee or contractor of the other Party to terminate such
person’s employment or relationship with the other Party in order to become an
employee or contractor to or for the soliciting Party; provided, however, that
the foregoing provisions shall not preclude the soliciting Party from (i) the
use of public general advertisements or search firms (in each case, not directed
at, or targeted to the other Party or its employees) or the hiring of any person
who responds thereto, or (ii) the solicitation or hiring of any such person who
contacts the soliciting Party of his or her own initiative.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

5.5 HIPAA. It is not intended that Provider or its members, employees or
representatives (including, but not limited to, those listed on Exhibit B) will
receive from Company, or create or receive on behalf of Company, patient
healthcare, billing, or other confidential patient information(“Patient
Information”) in performing the Services hereunder. Patient Information, as the
term is used herein, includes all “Protected Health Information,” as that term
is defined in 45 Code of Federal Register 164.501. To the extent that Provider
or its members, employees or representatives (including, but not limited to,
those listed on Exhibit B) receive Patient Information, Provider shall comply
with all laws, rules and regulations relating to the confidentiality of Patient
Information, including the applicable provisions of the privacy regulations
promulgated pursuant to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996, Title XIII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public
Law 111-005) (“HIPAA”) and the rules, guidance and regulations promulgated
thereunder, as amended from time to time.

 

6.

Term and Termination

 

6.1   Term. The term of this Agreement shall be one (1) year from the Effective
Date, unless terminated sooner as provided hereunder. The term may be modified
or extended only by mutual written agreement of the Parties.

 

6.2   Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

 

(i)     Company may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to
Provider if (1) any Milestone outlined in Exhibit A, Periodic Deliverables,
hereto is not met under the timeline provided in Exhibit A, as determined by
Company, (2) any projection (including gross profit and net profit metrics) in
the Profit and Loss Statement attached as Exhibit E hereto, is not within an 80%
achievement level of the projection for any monthly period after July 31, 2020,
or (3) Provider has otherwise breached this Agreement barring a failure to
deliver an Ongoing Deliverable pursuant to subpart (ii) below;

 

(ii)     Company may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to
Provider if Provider has failed to deliver any of the Ongoing Deliverables
outlined in Exhibit A, which has not been remedied within five (5) calendar days
upon written notice by Company; or

 

(iii)     After June 30, 2020, either Party may terminate this Agreement at any
time for any reason by providing the other Party with fifteen (15) calendar
days’ prior written notice.

 

6.3  Effect of Termination. Upon the effective date of any termination of this
Agreement, Provider will immediately cease performing Services under this
Agreement. If this Agreement has been terminated by Company pursuant to Section
6.2(i) or Section 6.2(ii), Company will not owe Provider for any Services
conducted during or after the month in which the Milestone or projection was not
met (as relates to Section 6.2(i)(1) and Section 6.2(i)(2) as applicable), the
breach occurred (as relates to Section 6.2(i)(3)) or repeated failure of the
Ongoing Deliverable occurred (as relates to Section 6.2(ii). If this Agreement
is terminated pursuant to Section 6.2(iii), Company agrees to pay Provider
compensation due for Services actually rendered, in accordance with Section 2
(which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include the Milestone Equity Award
and/or the Revenue Metrics Equity Awards, the latter of which will be due even
if 80% of such revenue metrics are met post-termination, if such accomplishment
is due entirely or predominately by the prior efforts of Provider), and such
amounts will be in full satisfaction of any obligation or liability of Company
to Provider for payments due to Provider under this Agreement. Sections 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, and 9 will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Termination of this Agreement by either Party will not act as a waiver of any
breach of this Agreement and will not act as a release of either Party from any
liability for breach of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Neither
Party will be liable to the other for damages of any kind solely as a result of
terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms, and termination of this
Agreement by a Party will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of
such Party under this Agreement or applicable law.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

6.4  Delivery of Materials. Upon any termination of this Agreement or at any
time upon Company’s request, Provider will promptly return to Company any and
all Information of Company. Upon any termination and receipt of payment
therefore, Provider will also promptly deliver all work product, including
Developments then in progress for deliverables under this Agreement.

 

7.

Indemnification

 

The Parties shall mutually indemnify, defend and hold harmless each other from
and against any and all losses incurred by the other (and in the case of
Provider, including its members, employees and representatives (including, but
not limited to, those listed on Exhibit B)) (the “Indemnified Party”) which
arise out of or result from misrepresentation, or breach or non-fulfillment of
any covenant contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for any liability, loss or damage
resulting from the negligence, intentional misconduct or willful malfeasance by
the Indemnified Party.

 

8.

Limitation Of Liabilities and Damages

 

IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT,
EVEN IF COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
FURTHER, THE LIABILITY OF COMPANY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL CONSIDERATION PAID
OR PAYABLE BY COMPANY TO PROVIDER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IN THE 12 MONTHS
PRIOR TO THE CLAIMED DAMAGE OR INJURY.

 

9.

General Provisions

 

9.1   Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in San

agrees that Company's damages arising from any breach of this Agreement by
Provider would be difficult, if not impossible, and inadequate to measure and
calculate.

 

9.2   Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of
both Parties shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the

brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in the Northern
District of California and the Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the

9.3  Equitable Remedies. Due to the personal and unique nature of the Services
and Provider’s access to Confidential Information of Company, Company shall have
the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction,

rights and remedies that Company may have for a breach of this Agreement.
Provider further agrees that no bond or other security shall be required in
obtaining such equitable relief.

 

9.4   Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be

Parties and the validity or enforceability of the other provisions will not be
affected.

transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of, this Agreement or any of Provider’s
