EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”),
dated as of June 30, 2019, (the “Effective Date”), by and between Command Center, Inc., a Washington corporation,
and its successors (the “Company”), and Brendan Simaytis, an individual (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to
retain Executive as its Executive Vice President and General Counsel, and

WHEREAS, in connection therewith,
the Company and Executive desire to enter into this Agreement.

PART ONE – DEFINITIONS

Definitions. For purposes of this
Agreement, the following definitions will be in effect:

“Affiliates” means
all persons and entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the entity specified, where
control may be by management authority, contract or equity interest.

“Board” means the
Board of Directors of the Company or the Compensation Committee thereof (or any other committee subsequently granted authority
by the Board), subject to Section 12 below.

“Change of Control”
means a change in the ownership or control of the Company effected through any of the following transactions: (i) a sale, merger,
consolidation or reorganization approved by the Company’s stockholders, unless securities representing more than fifty percent
(50%) of the total combined voting power of the voting securities of the successor corporation are immediately thereafter beneficially
owned, directly or indirectly and in substantially the same proportion, by the persons who beneficially owned the Company’s
outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such transaction, (ii) any stockholder-approved sale, transfer or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (iii) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person or related
group of persons (other than the Company or a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with, the Company) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting
power of the Company’s outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made directly to the Company’s
stockholders; or (iv) a change in the composition of the Board over a period of thirty-six (36) consecutive months or less such
that a majority of the Board members ceases, by reason of one or more contested elections for Board membership, to be comprised
of individuals who either (A) have been Board members continuously since the beginning of such period or (B) have been elected
or nominated for election as Board members during such period by at least a majority of the Board members described in clause (A)
who were still in office at the time the Board approved such election or nomination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in
any circumstance or transaction in which compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement would be subject to the tax under Section
409A of the Code if the foregoing definition of “Change of Control” were to apply, but would not be so subject if the
term “Change of Control” were defined herein to mean a “change in control event” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5), then “Change of Control” means, but only to the extent necessary to prevent
such compensation from becoming subject to the tax under Section 409A of the Code, a transaction or circumstance that satisfies
the requirements of both (1) a Change of Control under one of the applicable clauses (i) through (iv) above, and (2) a “change
in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section § 1.409A-3(i)(5).

    	2

     

    

“Code” means the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and the Treasury regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder.

“Company” means, unless
the context otherwise requires, Command Center, Inc., a Washington corporation, and all of its subsidiaries.

“Compensation Committee”
means the Compensation Committee of the Board, or in the absence of the Compensation Committee, the entire Board.

“Employment Period”
means the initial Term beginning on the Effective Date and all subsequent Terms.

“Good Reason” shall
mean the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s consent: (i) a material reduction of Executive’s duties
or responsibilities, relative to Executive’s duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such reduction;
(ii) a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) in Executive’s Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to such reduction;
(iii) a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) by the Company in the kind or level of employee benefits, including bonuses, for
which Executive was eligible (although amounts actually earned will vary) immediately prior to such reduction, with the result
that Executive’s overall benefits package is materially reduced, excluding any equity component thereof; (iv) the requirement
that Executive work from any location other than from his home in Missouri; or (v) the requirement that Executive travel more than
ten days in any month during the Term. A termination of employment by Executive shall not be deemed to be for Good Reason unless
(A) Executive gives the Company written notice describing the event or events which are the basis for such termination within 60
days after the event or events occur, (B) such grounds for termination (if susceptible to correction) are not corrected by the
Company within 30 days of the Company’s receipt of such notice (the “Correction Period”), and (C) Executive
terminates Executive’s employment no later than 30 days following the Correction Period. In the event of a Change of Control,
if the Company or its successor changes Executive’s job title and/or responsibilities, these events shall not be deemed to
be Good Reason under this Agreement.

“Termination for Cause”
shall mean the Company’s termination of Executive’s employment for any of the following reasons: (i) Executive’s
commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty; (ii) the arrest or conviction of Executive, or the entry of a plea
of nolo contendere by Executive, for a felony; (iii) Executive’s unauthorized use or disclosure of any confidential information
or trade secrets of the Company; (iv) the disclosing or using of any material Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined)
of Company at any time by Executive, except as required in connection with his duties to Company; (v) Executive’s violation
of a published Company policy which stipulates the Executive may be terminated by the Company for cause; or (vi) Executive’s
continued failure, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Board, to perform the major duties, functions and responsibilities
of Executive’s position after written notice from the Company identifying the deficiencies in Executive’s performance
and a reasonable cure period of not less than thirty (30) days.

PART TWO - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF EMPLOYMENT

The following terms and conditions will
govern Executive’s employment with the Company throughout the Employment Period (as set forth below) and will also, to the
extent expressly indicated below, remain in effect following Executive’s cessation of employment with the Company. This Agreement
supersedes and replaces any previous agreement implied, written or otherwise.

    	3

     

    

1.                
Employment and Duties. During the Employment Period, Executive will serve as the Executive Vice President and General
Counsel of Command Center, Inc., and will report to the Chief Executive Officer. Executive will have such duties and responsibilities
as are commensurate with such position and such other duties and responsibilities commensurate with such positions (including with
the Company’s subsidiaries) as are from time to time assigned to Executive by the Chief Executive Officer. During the Employment
Period, Executive will devote substantially all of his business time, energy and skill to the performance of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder, provided the foregoing will not prevent Executive from, (a) serving as a non-executive director on the board of directors
of non-profit organizations and other companies following authorization by Company’s Board of Directors, (b) participating
in charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry affairs, (c) managing his and his family’s personal
investments, including in an advisory capacity related to current or potential investments, or (d) such other activities approved
by the Board from time to time; provided, that such activities individually or in the aggregate do not interfere or conflict with
Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, violate applicable law, or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict.

2.                
Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall run from the Effective Date through November 15, 2019 (such period, the
 “Term”), and may be terminated earlier as contemplated by Section 5. Termination of this Agreement due to its
non-renewal shall not constitute a Termination for Cause or a resignation by Executive for Good Reason.

		3.	Compensation; Additional Incentives.

		A.	Base Salary. Executive’s base salary (the “Base Salary”) will be paid at the rate of $200,000
annually during the Term. Executive’s Base Salary may be increased by the Compensation Committee and/or Board in their sole
discretion but shall not be decreased without Executive’s consent. Executive’s Base Salary will be paid at periodic
intervals in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices for salaried employees.

		B.	Performance Bonus Opportunities.

		a.	Executive will be eligible for bonus payments tied to the Company’s Fiscal Year 2019 Earnings (the “Earnings
Bonus”). Subject to final approval by the Compensation Committee, Executive will receive a quarterly Earnings Bonus if
the Company’s quarterly Adjusted EBITDA exceeds the quarterly target established by the Compensation Committee (the “Quarterly
Target”). For any quarter in which Adjusted EBITDA exceeds the Quarterly Target, Executive shall receive 3.75% of the
amount in excess of the Quarterly Target. The Company will calculate the performance under this metric as it has traditionally
done for other executives. If Executive is not employed by the Company at the time the results are calculated for any quarterly
payment of the Earnings Bonus, he will be paid a pro-rated amount based on the last date of his employment. Payments pursuant to
this paragraph will be made no later than 15 days following the filing of the Form 10-Q or Form 10-K for the respective period.

		b.	Executive was previously eligible for a bonus payment tied to the Company’s Fiscal Year 2018 (the “2018 Earnings
Bonus”) and has been paid $40,269.50 under this plan.

    	4

     

    
		c.	Executive will be eligible for a Performance Bonus tied to a potential Change of Control of the Company. If such Change of
Control occurs during the Employment Period or within six months following the Employment Period, Executive will receive a lump
sum payment of $50,000, payable within 15 days of the Change of Control.

		d.	Additionally, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, any issued but then unvested stock options will automatically
vest for Executive as of the date of the Change of Control.

		C.	The Company may deduct and withhold, from the compensation payable and benefits provided to Executive hereunder, any and all
applicable federal, state, local and other taxes and any other amounts required to be deducted or withheld by the Company under
applicable statute or regulation.

		D.	To the extent that any compensation paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement is considered “incentive-based compensation”
within the meaning and subject to the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act, such compensation shall be subject to potential
forfeiture or recovery by the Company in accordance with any compensation recovery policy adopted by the Board or any committee
thereof in response to the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any implementing rules and regulations thereunder
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s common stock
is then listed. This Agreement may be unilaterally amended by the Company to comply with any such compensation recovery policy.

		4.	Expense Reimbursement; Fringe Benefits; Paid Time Off (PTO).

		A.	Executive will be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for customary, ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred
by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, provided that Executive’s entitlement to such reimbursements
shall be conditioned upon Executive’s provision to the Company of vouchers, receipts and other substantiation of such expenses
in accordance with Company policies.

		B.	Company will pay for dues and fees required for any professional licenses maintained by Executive, membership in professional
or industry associations, continuing education requirements associated with any professional license and conferences and seminars
commonly attended by executives in similar companies.

		C.	During the Employment Period, Executive will be eligible to participate in any group life insurance plan, group medical and/or
dental insurance plan, accidental death and dismemberment plan, short-term disability program and other employee benefit plans,
including profit sharing plans, cafeteria benefit programs and stock purchase and option plans, which are made available to executives
of the Company and for which Executive qualifies under the terms of such plan or plans.

		D.	Executive shall be entitled to three weeks paid vacation each year and paid time off (PTO) in accordance with the Company’s
policies as in effect from time to time.

    	5

     

    
		5.	Termination of Employment.

		A.	General. Subject to Section 5.C., Executive’s employment with the Company is “at-will” and may be
terminated at any time by either Executive or the Company for any reason (or no reason) in accordance with this Agreement, which
will also result in the Term ending, by the party seeking to terminate Executive’s employment providing 21-days written notice
of such termination to the other party.

		B.	Death or Permanent Disability. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company due to death or permanent
disability during the Term, the employment relationship created pursuant to this Agreement will immediately terminate, the Term
will end, and amounts will only be payable under this Agreement as specified in this Section 5.B. Should Executive’s employment
with the Company terminate by reason of Executive’s death or permanent disability during the Employment Period, Executive,
or Executive’s estate or personal representative, will continue to receive Executive’s Base Salary during the six-month
period following the date of termination or of determination of permanent disability. Executive or Executive’s estate or
personal representative, will also remain eligible to receive any limited death, disability, and/or income continuation benefits
provided under Section 4.C., if any, and will be payable in accordance with the terms of the plans pursuant to which such limited
death or disability benefits are provided

For purposes of this Agreement, Executive
will be deemed “permanently disabled” if Executive is so characterized pursuant to the terms of the Company’s
disability policies or programs applicable to Executive from time to time, or if no such policy is applicable, if the Compensation
Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of Executive’s
duties for physical or mental reasons for ninety (90) days in any twelve-month period.

		C.	Termination for Cause; Resignation without Good Reason. The Company may at any time during the Employment Period, after
providing notice as set forth in the definition of “Termination for Cause”, terminate Executive’s employment
hereunder for any act qualifying as a Termination for Cause. Upon any Termination for Cause (or employee’s resignation other
than for Good Reason), Executive shall be solely entitled to receive:

		a.	The unpaid Base Salary and Bonuses earned by Executive pursuant to Section 3 for services rendered through the date of termination,
payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices for terminated salaried employees;

		b.	Reimbursement of all expenses for which Executive is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 4, payable in accordance
with the Company’s normal reimbursement practices; and

		c.	The right to continue health care benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended, at
Executive’s cost, to the extent required and available by law and subject to the Company continuing to maintain a group health
plan.

    	6

     

    

		D.	Involuntary Termination Without Cause by the Company; Resignation by Executive for Good Reason. Pursuant to the notice
period in Section 5.A., the Company shall be entitled to terminate Executive and Executive shall be entitled to resign with or
without Good Reason; provided, however, that if Executive (1) is terminated without Cause, or (2) resigns for Good Reason, then
Executive shall be solely entitled to receive:

		a.	His Base Salary through the end of the Term; and

		b.	The immediate vesting of all Options and all other awards held by Executive under any equity incentive plan that may be adopted
by the Board, except and only to the extent that (i) any agreement with respect to an award specifically provides otherwise and
(ii) such vesting would not result in the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A of the Code.

		c.	Pro-rated payment of the Earnings Bonus as set forth in Section 3.B.a., which amount will be paid 15-days following the Company’s
filing of its Form 10-K or Form 10-Q.

		d.	For purposes of clarity, a termination of Executive’s employment due to Executive’s death or to Executive’s
permanent disability shall not be considered either a termination by the Company without cause or a resignation by Executive for
Good Reason, and such termination shall not entitle Executive (or his heirs or representatives) to any compensation or benefits
pursuant to this Section 5.D.

		E.	Termination by Non-Renewal. In the event the company fails to renew Executive’s employment before the expiration
of this Agreement (“Non-Renewal”), Executive shall be entitled to receive only:

		a.	The unpaid Base Salary and vacation earned by Executive pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 for services rendered through the date
of termination, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices for terminated salaried employees;

		b.	Full payment of the Performance Bonus tied to a potential Change of Control of the Company (Paragraph 3.B.c.) if such sale
occurs during the Term or within six months following the Term.

		c.	Pro-rated payment of the Earnings Bonus as set forth in Section 3.B.a., which amount will be paid 15-days following the Company’s
filing of its Form 10-K or Form 10-Q.

    	7

     

    

F.      Involuntary
Termination Without Cause by the Company following a Change of Control. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated
without cause within four months following a Change of Control or there is a failure or refusal of a surviving or successor entity
to assume all of the obligations of this Agreement (excluding position title and responsibilities) or to offer a bona fide offer
of continued employment with a surviving or successor entity and to employ Executive for the entirety of the four months following
the Change of Control, with compensation, benefits, and terms at least equal to those set forth in this Agreement (excluding position
title and responsibilities), Executive will continue to receive his Base Salary for the greater of four months or the time remaining
in the current Term. In addition, any issued but then unvested stock options will automatically become vested stock options for
Executive as of the end of Executive’s employment.

G.       Omitted.

H.       Resignations
from Other Positions. Upon any termination of Executive’s employment, and as a condition to Executive receiving any Severance
Benefits under this Agreement, if so requested by a majority of the Board, Executive will immediately resign (1) as a director
of the Company and any of its subsidiaries, (2) from all officer or other positions of the Company and (3) from all fiduciary positions
(including as trustee) Executive then holds with respect to any employee benefit plans or trusts established, maintained or sponsored
by the Company or by any of its Affiliates. Failure by Executive to resign immediately from all positions described in the immediately
preceding sentence shall result in automatic forfeiture of any and all rights to the Severance Benefits.

I.       Options
Upon Termination. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7, upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason
and subject to the terms of the Company’s Stock Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, including by reason of Executive’s
death or permanent disability, any portion of any options held by the Executive that are not then vested will immediately be forfeited
and expire for no consideration and the remainder of such options will remain exercisable in accordance with the Company’s
ISO plan thereafter (the “Final Exercise Date”) with the understanding that any options that are intended to be “incentive
stock options” under the Code shall thereupon be disqualified from such treatment; provided, that any portion of the options
held by Executive immediately prior to Executive’s death, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for one
year following Executive’s death; and provided, further, that in no event shall any portion of the options be exercisable
after the Final Exercise Date.

J.       Release.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Executive’s right to receive (or retain) the payments and benefits set forth
in Sections 5.B, 5.D., or 5.E., as applicable, other than pay or benefits legally obligated to be paid or provided by the Company
through the date of termination, is conditioned on and subject to Executive’s execution within twenty-one (21) days (or,
to the extent required by applicable law, forty-five (45) days) following the termination date and non-revocation within seven
(7) days thereafter of a general release of claims in a form substantially similar in non-monetary terms to the historical release
used by the company.

		6.	Consulting Agreement. As and for additional consideration for entering into this Agreement, the Parties agree they will,
contemporaneous with the execution of this Agreement, enter into a Consulting and Nondisclosure Agreement that will be automatically
effective on its own terms from November 15, 2019, through February 14, 2020.

    	8

     

    
		7.	Non-Solicitation Competition and Confidential Information.

		A.	Non-Solicitation. During the period Executive is receiving severance or other ongoing payments from Company, or one
year from Executive’s termination, whichever is longer, for any cause or without cause, so long the Company continues to
carry on the same business, Executive agrees to not, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, on behalf of Executive
or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person(s), company, partnership, corporation or business entity, call upon,
divert, influence, solicit, service or attempt to call, divert, influence, solicit or service any customers or potential customers

cause, Executive will not, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, on behalf of Executive or on behalf of any other
person(s), company, partnership, corporation, or other business entity, solicit or influence or attempt to solicit or influence
any employee of the Company to leave employment with the Company.

		B.	Competition. During the Term and during the period Executive is receiving severance or other ongoing payments from Company,

directly or indirectly, as owner, principal, agent, stockholder, director, officer, manager, executive, partner, participant, or
in any other capacity) engage or become financially interested in any competitive business conducted within the Restricted Territory
or solicit, canvas, or accept, or authorize any other person, firm, or entity to solicit, canvas, or accept, from any customers
of Company or its subsidiaries, any business within the Restricted Territory for Executive or for any other person, firm, or entity.
As used herein, “customers of Company” will mean any persons, firms, or entities that purchased goods or services
from Company during the Employment Period; “competitive business” will mean any business which sells or provides
or attempts to sell or provide products or services the same as or substantially similar to the products or services sold or provided

c.                  
For purposes of this Agreement the words “Confidential Information” do not include any information that is or

Executive will maintain
in strict secrecy all confidential or trade secret information relating to the business of Company or any of its subsidiaries (the
 “Confidential Information”) obtained by Executive in the course of Executive’s employment, and Executive
will not, unless first authorized in writing by Company, disclose to, or use for Executive’s benefit or for the benefit of

		E.	Disclosure of Information. Executive will disclose promptly to Company, or its nominee,
any and all ideas, designs, processes, and improvements of any kind relating to the business of Company or any of its subsidiaries,

during the Employment Period.

    	10

     

    
		F.	Assignment. Executive hereby assigns to Company or its nominee, the entire right, title,
and interest in and to all discoveries and improvements, whether patentable or not, which Executive may conceive or make during
Executive’s employment with Company, or within six months thereafter, and which relate to the business of Company or any
of its subsidiaries. All copyrights, patents, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights associated with any ideas, concepts,
techniques, inventions, processes, or works of authorship developed or created by Executive during the Employment Period (collectively,
the “Work Product”) shall belong exclusively to Company and shall be considered a work made by Executive for hire within
the meaning of Title 17 of the United States Code. To the extent the Work Product may not be considered work made for hire, Executive
agrees to assign at the time of creation of the Work Product, without any requirement of further consideration, any right, title,
or interest that Executive may have in such Work Product. Upon Company’s request, Executive will take such further actions,
including execution and delivery of instruments of conveyance, as may be appropriate to give full and proper effect to such assignment.

		G.	Equitable Relief. In the event a violation of any of the restrictions contained in this
Section 6 is established, Company will be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an equitable
accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such violation, which right will be cumulative and in addition
to any other rights or remedies to which Company may be entitled. In the event of a violation of any provision of this Section
6, the period for which those provisions would remain in effect will be extended for a period of time equal to that period beginning
when such violation commenced and ending when the activities constituting such violation will have been finally terminated in good
faith.

		H.	Restrictions Separable. Each and every restriction set forth in this Section 6 is independent
and severable from the others, and no such restriction will be rendered unenforceable by virtue of the fact that, for any reason,
any other or others of them may be unenforceable in whole or in part.

		I.	No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of Executive’s
services contemplated hereby will not violate or result in a breach by Executive of, or constitute a default under, or conflict
with: (i) any provision or restriction of any employment, consulting, or other similar agreement; (ii) any agreement by Executive
with any third party not to compete with, solicit from, or otherwise disparage such third party; (iii) any provision or restriction
of any agreement, contract, or instrument to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound; or (iv) any order, judgment,
award, decree, law, rule, ordinance, or regulation or any other restriction of any kind or character to which Executive is subject
or by which Executive is bound.

    	11

     

    
		J.	Mutual Non-Disparagement. Company and Executive agree that in recognition of the covenants and benefits herein, neither
party will, directly or indirectly, in any capacity or manner, make, express, transmit, speak, write, verbalize or otherwise communicate
in any way (or cause, further, assist, solicit, encourage, support, or participate in any of the foregoing), any remark, comment,
message, information, declaration, communication or other statement of any kind, whether verbal, in writing, electronically transferred
or otherwise, that might reasonably be construed to be derogatory or critical of, or negative toward, the other party or the other
party’s agents, officers, Directors or representatives for 12 months following Executive’s termination of employment.

		8.	Section 409A of the Code.

		A.	General. This Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in all circumstances in a manner that is consistent with the
intent of the parties that, to the extent applicable, amounts earned and payable pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute short-term
deferrals exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code and, if not exempt, that amounts earned and payable pursuant
to this Agreement shall not be subject to the premature income recognition or adverse tax provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

		B.	Separation from Service. References in this Agreement to “termination” of Executive’s employment,
 “resignation” by Executive from employment and similar terms shall, with respect to such events that will result in
payments of compensation or benefits, mean for such purposes a “separation from service” as defined under Section 409A
of the Code.

		C.	Specified Executive. In the event any one or more amounts payable under this Agreement constitute a “deferral
of compensation” and become payable on account of the “separation from service” (as determined pursuant to Section
409A of the Code) of Executive and if as such date Executive is a “specified employee” (as determined pursuant to Section
409A of the Code), such amounts shall not be paid to Executive before the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh calendar
month beginning after the date of Executive’s “separation from service” or (ii) the date of Executive’s
death following such “separation from service.” Where there is more than one such amount, each shall be considered
a separate payment and all such amounts that would otherwise be payable prior to the date specified in the preceding sentence shall
be accumulated (without interest) and paid together on the date specified in the preceding sentence.

		D.	Separate Payments. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment or amount due under this Agreement shall be
considered a separate payment, and Executive’s entitlement to a series of payments under this Agreement is to be treated
as an entitlement to a series of separate payments.

    	12

     

    
		E.	Reimbursements. Any reimbursement to which Executive is entitled pursuant to this Agreement that would constitute nonqualified
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be subject to the following additional rules: (i) no reimbursement
of any such expense shall affect Executive’s right to reimbursement of any other such expense in any other taxable year;
(ii) reimbursement of the expense shall be made, if at all, not later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar
year in which the expense was incurred; (iii) the right to reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any
other benefit; and (iv) the right to reimbursement of expenses incurred kind shall terminate one year after the end of the Employment
Period.

9.                
Section 280G of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (or any other agreement entered
into by and between Executive and the Company or any incentive arrangement or plan offered by the Company), in the event that any
amount or benefit paid or distributed to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, taken together with any amounts or benefits otherwise
paid to Executive by the Company (collectively, the “Covered Payments”), would constitute an “excess parachute
payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Code, and would thereby subject Executive to an excise tax under Section 4999
of the Code (an “Excise Tax”), the provisions of this Section 8 shall apply. If the aggregate present value
(as determined for purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of the Covered Payments exceeds the amount which can be paid to Executive
without Executive incurring an Excise Tax, then the amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement (or any other agreement by
and between Executive and the Company or pursuant to any incentive arrangement or plan offered by the Company) shall be reduced
(but not below zero) to the maximum amount which may be paid hereunder without Executive becoming subject to the Excise Tax (such
reduced payments to be referred to as the “Payment Cap”). In the event Executive receives reduced payments and
benefits as a result of application of this Section 8, Executive shall have the right to designate which of the payments and
benefits otherwise set forth herein (or any other agreement between the Company and Executive or any incentive arrangement or plan
offered by the Company) shall be received in connection with the application of the Payment Cap, subject to the following sentence.
Reduction shall first be made from payments and benefits which are determined not to be nonqualified deferred compensation for
purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and then shall be made (to the extent necessary) out of payments and benefits that are
subject to Section 409A of the Code and that are due at the latest future date.

10.           
No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. The Board, the Compensation Committee, the Company and its Affiliates, officers and
employees make no commitment or guarantee to Executive that any federal, state, local or other tax treatment will apply or be available
to Executive or any other person eligible for compensation or benefits under this Agreement and assume no liability whatsoever
for the tax consequences to Executive or to any other person eligible for compensation or benefits under this Agreement.

11.           
Controlling Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation,
performance, and enforcement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, notwithstanding
any Colorado or other conflict-of-interest provisions to the contrary.  However, Executive agrees that any and all
claims arising between the parties out of this agreement shall be controlled by the laws of the State of Colorado, as follows:
any dispute, controversy arising out of, connected to, or relating to any matters herein of the transactions between Company and
Executive, or this Agreement, which cannot be resolved by negotiation (including, without limitation, any dispute over the arbitrability
of an issue), will be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the J.A.M.S/ENDISPUTE Arbitration Rules and Procedures,
as amended by this Agreement. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Denver, Colorado. Company and Executive agree the prevailing
party on any action to enforce rights hereunder shall be entitled, in addition to any awarded damages, their costs and reasonable
attorney’s fees, whether at arbitration, or on appeal. The parties agree that this provision and the Arbitrator’s
authority to grant relief are subject to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1- 16 et seq. (“USAA”) and the
provisions of this Agreement. The parties agree that the arbitrator have no power or authority to make awards or issue orders of
any kind except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, and in no event does the arbitrator have the authority to make any award
that provides for punitive or exemplary damages. The award may be confirmed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
All post-award proceedings will be governed by the USAA. Company and Executive irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and venue
of such arbitration and such courts, and that each party will bear its own expenses related to such action.

12.           
Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement and the agreements referenced herein contain the entire agreement of
the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersede in their entirety any and all prior agreements, understandings
or representations relating to the subject matter hereof. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied,
with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. The
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and, if any provision is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for
any reason, (a) the provision will be amended automatically to the minimum extent necessary to cure the illegality or invalidity
and permit enforcement and (b) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the legality, validity or enforceability
of the other provisions hereof.

13.           
Amendment; Committee Authority. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented, or modified only by a written instrument
duly executed by or on behalf of each party hereto. All determinations and other actions required or permitted hereunder to be
made by or on behalf of the Company or the Board may be made by either the Board (excluding Executive therefrom) or the Compensation
Committee (or any other committee subsequently granted authority by the Board); provided that the actions of the Compensation Committee
(or any other committee subsequently granted authority by the Board) shall be subject to the authority then vested in such committee
by the Board, it being understood and agreed that as of the date of this Agreement the Compensation Committee has full authority,
concurrent with the Board, to administer this Agreement; and provided, further, that a decision or action by the Compensation Committee
(or any other committee subsequently granted authority by the Board) hereunder shall be subject to review or modification by the
Board if the Board so chooses.

14.           
Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure
nor any delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such
right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or
further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in
part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be
given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one
party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to
take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

15.           
No Violation. Executive represents and warrants that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance
of Executive’s services contemplated hereby will not violate or result in a breach by Executive of, or constitute a default
under, or conflict with: (i) any provision or restriction of any employment, consulting, or other similar agreement; (ii) any agreement
by Executive with any third party not to compete with, solicit from, or otherwise disparage such third party; (iii) any provision
or restriction of any agreement, contract, or instrument to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound; or (iv)
any order, judgment, award, decree, law, rule, ordinance, or regulation or any other restriction of any kind or character to which
Executive is subject or by which Executive is bound.

16.           
Assignment. Notwithstanding anything else herein, this Agreement is personal to Executive and neither this Agreement
nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Executive. The Company may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or to any acquirer
of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, in which case the term “Company” will mean
such affiliate or acquirer. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the personal or legal representatives,

CONSULTING AND NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

 

This Consulting and Nondisclosure
Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Command Center, Inc. (“Command”), and its successors, and
Brendan Simaytis (“Consultant”).

 

WHEREAS, Command wishes
to engage Consultant for services relating to Command’s 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 approved by Command. However, in the event Command and Consultant agree that travel is necessary for Consultant, Command
shall pay all expenses reasonably incurred by Consultant in the course of such travel.

may require meeting stated deadlines.

 

5.        Independent

of his duties under this Agreement. Accordingly, Consultant shall be responsible for payment of all taxes including Federal, State
and local taxes arising out of Consultant’s activities in accordance with this Agreement, including by way of illustration
but not limitation, Federal and State income tax, Social Security tax, Unemployment Insurance taxes, and any other taxes or business
license fee as required. At no time is Consultant authorized to enter into any agreements (written or otherwise) or make any material
