Re:

Services Agreement

Dear Mr. Roberts:

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions whereby you agree to provide certain services to Secure Point Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Implant Sciences Corporation) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries.

1.

SERVICES.

(a)

The Company hereby engages you, and you hereby accept such engagement, as an independent contractor to provide certain services to the Company and its subsidiaries on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  Specifically, you will provide financial and accounting and business strategy services (the “Services”) to the Company and its subsidiaries, including assisting with the preparation and compilation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and its reports filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission and any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, assisting with any financial and accounting due diligence investigation for any potential acquisitions by the Company, and to generally assist with other financial, accounting and business strategy matters.

(b)

The Company shall not control the manner or means by which you perform the Services, including the time and place you perform the Services.  You shall furnish, at your own expense, the equipment, supplies, and other materials used to perform the Services. The Company shall provide you with access to its premises and equipment to the extent necessary for the performance of the Services.

(c)

Your primary contact for the Services and other matters under this Agreement will be the Company’s President, currently Robert Liscouski, who will have authority on behalf of the Company to make all determinations and take all actions on behalf of the Company under this Agreement.

2.

TERMINATION.  This Agreement may be terminated by either party at will, for any reason or no reason, on fourteen (14) days’ prior written notice.  Each party’s obligations under this Agreement, including your obligations under including Sections 5, 7 and 9 and the Company’s payment obligations, shall survive the termination of this Agreement, regardless of the manner or nature of such termination, and shall be binding upon each party and its heirs, executors, administrators and successors.  The termination of this Agreement and the expiration of any restricted periods under this Agreement that apply thereafter will not relieve a party of any obligation or liability arising from any breach by such party of this Agreement during the term or such restricted period.  















3.

FEES AND EXPENSES.  As full compensation for the Services, the Company shall pay you fees of One Hundred Fifty U.S. Dollars ($150.00) per hour (the “Fees”).  You acknowledge that you will receive an IRS Form 1099-MISC from the Company, and that you shall be solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes on all fees paid under this Agreement.  The Company agrees to reimburse you for your reasonable documented out-of-pocket travel and meal expenses incurred in connection with the provision of the Services hereunder and that are approved in advance by the Company (the “Expenses”).  The Company shall pay all undisputed Fees and Expenses within twenty (20) days after the Company’s receipt of an invoice submitted by you.

4.

RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES.  You are an independent contractor of the Company, and this Agreement shall not be construed to create any association, partnership, joint venture, employee, or agency relationship between you and the Company for any purpose.  You have no authority (and shall not hold yourself out as having authority) to bind the Company and you shall not make any agreements or representations on the Company’s behalf without the Company’s prior written consent.  Without limiting the foregoing, you will not be eligible to participate in any vacation, group medical or life insurance, disability, profit sharing or retirement benefits, or any other fringe benefits or benefit plans offered by the Company to its employees, and the Company will not be responsible for withholding or paying any income, payroll, Social Security, or other federal, state, or local taxes, making any insurance contributions, including for unemployment or disability, or obtaining worker’s compensation insurance on your behalf.  You shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Company against, all such taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest.  Any persons employed or engaged by you in connection with the performance of the Services shall be your employees or contractors and you shall be fully responsible for them and indemnify the Company against any claims made by or on behalf of any such employee or contractor.

5.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.

(a)

You acknowledge that you will have access to the confidential and proprietary information of the Company and its subsidiaries, including trade secrets, technology, and information pertaining to business operations and strategies, customers, pricing, marketing, finances, sourcing, personnel, or operations of the Company, its affiliates or their respective suppliers or customers, as well as information regarding the status of the bankruptcy of the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to the cases filed by the Company and its subsidiaries under Chapter 11 of Title 11, §§ 101-1330 of the U.S. Code (such case filed by the Company, the “Company Chapter 11 Case”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and any potential business combination targets that the Company may seek, in each case whether spoken, written, printed, electronic, or in any other form or medium (collectively, the “Confidential Information”).  Confidential Information also includes any information disclosed by third parties, including any potential acquisition, merger or other business combination target or partner of the Company or its affiliates, to the extent that the Company or its affiliate has an obligation of confidentiality in connection therewith.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than through your breach of this Agreement; (ii) is communicated to you by a third party (other than the Company or its affiliates or their respective agents or representatives) that had no confidentiality obligations with respect to such information; or (iii) is developed by you independently and without reference to the Confidential Information (as can be demonstrated by the records and files in your possession).

(b)

You agree to treat all Confidential Information as strictly confidential, not to disclose Confidential Information or permit it to be disclosed, in whole or part, to any third party without the prior written consent of the Company in each instance, and not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose except as required in the performance of the Services.  You shall notify the Company

immediately in the event you become aware of any loss or disclosure of any Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement. 

(c)

Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency; provided that (i) the Company is given reasonable prior written notice, (ii) you cooperate with any reasonable request of the Company or its affiliates to seek to prevent or narrow such disclosure and (iii) if after compliance with clauses (i) and (ii) such disclosure is still required, you only disclose such portion of the Confidential Information that is expressly required to be disclosed by such law, regulation or order, as it may be subsequently narrowed.

(d)

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, or at any other time upon the Company’s written request, you shall, within seven (7) days after such termination: (i) deliver to the Company all tangible documents and materials (and any copies) containing, reflecting, incorporating, or based on the Confidential Information; (ii) permanently erase all of the Confidential Information from your computer systems; and (iii) certify in writing to the Company that you have complied with the requirements of this clause.

(e)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, you may not usurp or divert any business or corporate opportunity of the Company or its subsidiaries or, other than in the performance of the Services during the term, disclose the identity of any actual or potential merger, acquisition or other business combination target or partner of the Company or its affiliates to anyone.

6.

NOTICE OF IMMUNITY UNDER THE ECONOMIC ESPIONAGE ACT OF 1996, AS AMENDED BY THE DEFEND TRADE SECRETS ACT OF 2016.
