1. Duties; Start Date.

 

(a) Consultant shall devote appropriate time, energy and services to the affairs and promotion of the Company and its interests as is necessarily consistent with the Consultant’s fiduciary obligations to the Company. The Consultant shall not be required to work any specified hours or days except to the extent mandated by the requirements of the specific project. By signing this agreement, the Consultant confirms to the Company that the Consultant has no contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would prohibit or interfere with the Consultant performing their duties for the Company.

The plan of action will be specifically designed to provide synergies between current licensees, founders, corporate executives and other business stakeholders to meet corporate objectives and stated goals.

2. At-Will Relationship.

If terminated for reasons other than cause by Company, Consultant shall be given 15 days prior written notice. Any and all prior Company approved expenses incurred will be reimbursed within 30 days from notification of termination.
