between Command Center, Inc. (“Command”), and its successors, and Brendan

business, which may entail, in part, operational and financial details of
Command, which in many cases are confidential and not known to the general
public;

 

WHEREAS, as part of the services provided by Consultant, Consultant is willing
to protect the confidentiality of such information;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Command and Consultant agree as follows:

 

1.       Terms of Agreement. The engagement between the parties shall commence
as of November 15, 2019, and shall continue through February 14, 2020 (the
“Term”). This Agreement can be extended by mutual consent of the parties hereto
upon the same terms and conditions for a period of time as agreed upon by the
parties. Command may terminate this agreement with or without cause at any time
without penalty or obligation to make any specific additional payments to
Consultant so as long as it has fully paid to Consultant the fees as
contemplated herein. In the event Command elects to terminate this Agreement and
the services provided by Consultant without good cause, Command will pay to
Consultant the full amount of fees remaining through the Term of this Agreement.
In the event Consultant elects to terminate this Agreement for any reason, no
additional payments will be made to Consultant. Further, in the event either
party elects to terminate this Agreement and the services provided by
Consultant, Consultant will immediately return any and all property of Command
provided to Consultant during the term of this Agreement and all Confidential
Information (as defined below).

 

2.       Compensation and Terms. As may be requested by Command from time to
time, Consultant shall provide Command with services within Consultant’s areas
of experience and knowledge relating to Command’s general operations and/or in
other similar tasks. The services may include periodic reporting related to
these services as may be required by Command. Consultant will not at any time be
required to provide legal advice or legal services to Command, any employee of
Command, or any member of the company’s board of directors.

 

Command shall pay Consultant on a monthly basis for all services performed
within the month. Consultant will be paid at a rate of $17,000 for each month of
the Term of this Agreement. Each monthly payment will be made by Command on the
15th day of each calendar month (or within two days thereof if the 15th is not a
business day), beginning on November 15, 2019, and concluding with the final
payment on January 15, 2020. Consultant hereby agrees and acknowledges the
compensation rate set forth herein is all that Consultant will be owed for all
services rendered to Command under this Agreement.

 

3.       Expenses. Consultant is responsible for all costs and expenses incurred
in the course of performing services under this Agreement, unless previously
