5. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in force indefinitely until it is terminated in accordance with the provisions set out herein.
| 6. | Compensation. |
(a) The Consultant shall be compensated based on the following fee rates per hour that the Consultant spends providing Services hereunder documented in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Company: (i) US $150 per hour for the first five (5) hours of Services per calendar week and (ii) US $100 per hour for any hours in excess of five (5) hours per calendar week.

(c) The Company shall reimburse the Consultant for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred or paid by the Consultant in connection with, or related to, the performance of consulting services hereunder (with the prior written approval of the Company). Any expense, individually or in the aggregate, over US $500 must be approved in advance by Company.

(a) Income taxes, including federal or provincial taxes, employment insurance premiums, Canada Pension Plan premiums, workers’ compensation premiums, and all other statutory amounts shall not be withheld, remitted or paid by the Company on behalf of the Consultant or any of the Consultant’s personnel.

| 8. | No Benefits. |
(a) Since the Consultant is not an employee of the Company, the Consultant and the Consultant’s employees, shareholders, principals or agents are not eligible for, and shall not participate in, any employee benefit of the Company, including but not limited to vacation, pension, group insurance, health and all other benefits.
| 9. | Termination. |
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate as follows:
| i. | This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the Consultant. |
| ii. | Upon the death of the Consultant. |
| iii. | The Company may immediately terminate this Agreement in the event the Consultant is in material breach of this Agreement. A material breach of this Agreement will include, but will not be limited to, acts of theft or fraud against the Company, unsatisfactory performance of the Services or a breach of the obligations set out herein including, without limitation, the obligation respecting confidentiality and inventions. The Company will also be entitled to terminate this Agreement without notice if the Consultant neglects to provide or fails to remedy any default in providing the Services within five (5) days after receipt of notice by the Company of such neglect or failure. |
| iv. | The Company may terminate this Agreement without cause by providing the Consultant with fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice. Alternatively, the Company may terminate this Agreement immediately or at any time within the fifteen (15) day notice period required pursuant to this Section by providing the Consultant with a lump sum payment equal to the fees that would have been payable to the Consultant pursuant to Section 6 above during the balance of the fifteen (15) day notice period referred to herein. For absolute clarity, in no event will the Company be required to provide the Consultant with more than any combination of fifteen (15) days’ notice and pay in lieu of notice. |
| v. | The Consultant may terminate this Agreement and its relationship with the Company at any time and for any reason by providing the Company with at least fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice. |
(b) In the event the relationship between the Company and the Consultant is found to be either an employment or a dependent contractor relationship, and if it is determined that the Company did not have cause to terminate this Agreement, then the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company shall provide the Consultant with the greater of (i) and (ii) below:
| i. | (a) notice of termination, pay in lieu of notice or any combination of notice and pay in lieu of notice, as required by and in accordance with ESL; (b) any continuation of benefits required under ESL for the minimum period prescribed by ESL; (c) any severance pay required by ESL; (d) any vacation pay required under ESL for the duration of the minimum period prescribed by ESL; and (e) any other minimum entitlements required by ESL; |
| ii. | fifteen (15) days’ notice, pay in lieu of notice, or any combination of notice and pay in lieu of notice. In this case, the Company will also provide the Consultant with (a) any continuation of benefits required under ESL for the minimum period prescribed by ESL; (b) any vacation pay required under ESL for the minimum period prescribed by ESL; and (c) any other minimum entitlements required by ESL. |
For absolute clarity, in no event will the Consultant receive less notice, pay in lieu of notice, benefit coverage, vacation pay and severance pay (if applicable) than he is minimally entitled to under ESL.
This shall constitute the Consultant’s entire entitlement to notice of termination or pay in lieu of notice, continued benefit coverage, vacation pay and severance pay (if applicable) under ESL, pursuant to contract or at common law. The Consultant hereby acknowledges and agrees that no further notice or payment of any kind whatsoever will be required. For absolute clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the intention of this provision is to rebut the common law presumption of reasonable notice and to limit the Consultant’s entitlements in the event of a without cause termination to the minimum requirements prescribed by ESL in the event the Consultant is found to be an employee or a dependent contractor.
| 10. | Confidentiality. |
(a) Consultant acknowledges that his relationship with the Company is one of high trust and confidence and that in the course of his service to the Company he will have access to and contact with confidential and proprietary information of the Company and its affiliates (“Proprietary Information”). Consultant agrees that he will not, during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, disclose to others, or use for his benefit or the benefit of others, any Proprietary Information or Inventions (as defined below).
(b) Consultant understands that the Company is a publicly traded company and that federal securities laws prohibit trading in the Company’s stock while in possession in material nonpublic information about the Company or providing information to others that may trade in the Company’s stock. Additionally, Consultant acknowledges that he is subject to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy for trades above $200.
(c) Upon the termination of this Agreement by either Party and for any reason whatsoever, the Consultant hereby agrees to immediately return to the Company all Proprietary Information, including without limitation, any and all notes, plans, blueprints, drawings, samples, protocol or instructions, written, printed, or graphic matter, training material, computer files or software, customer lists or other records, price sheets, reports, proposals, tools, technical information, and reproductions thereof, which relate in any way to the Company’s operations, business assets, employee files or records, or any other documentation provided to the Consultant by the Company or created by the Consultant for the Company.
(d) Consultant represents that his retention with the Company, and his performance under this Agreement does not, and will not, breach any agreement to which the Consultant is a party or any policy by which the Consultant is bound. Consultant shall not disclose to the Company any trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information of any other party.
(e) Consultant agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law; Consultant therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company will be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by Consultant and/or any and all entities acting for and/or with Consultant, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity. The terms of this paragraph will not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including but not limited to the recovery of damages from Consultant. Consultant acknowledges that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement had Consultant not agreed to the provisions of this Section.
| 11. | Inventions |
(a) All results and proceeds of the Services, including all writings, processes, techniques, methods, ideas, concepts, research, proposals, material inventions, discoveries, data, technology, designs, innovations, improvements and other work product of any nature whatsoever (whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable) related to the business of the Company, which are made, conceived, written, designed or developed by the Consultant in the course of the performance of Services hereunder, solely or jointly with others, and whether during normal business hours or otherwise (“Inventions”), shall be the sole property of the Company. Consultant agrees to assign and hereby assigns to the Company all Inventions and any and all related patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and other industrial and intellectual property rights and applications therefor, in Canada, the United States and elsewhere, and appoints any officer of the Company as his duly authorized attorney to execute, file, prosecute and protect the same before any government agency, court or authority. Consultant hereby waives all claims to moral rights in all Inventions. Upon the request of the Company and at the Company’s expense, the Consultant shall execute such further assignments, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to fully and completely assign all Inventions to the Company and to assist the Company in applying for, obtaining and enforcing patents or copyrights or other rights in the United States and in any foreign country with respect to any Invention.
(b) Consultant shall promptly disclose to the Company all Inventions and will maintain adequate and current written records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings or in such form as may be specified by the Company) to document the conception and/or first actual reduction to practice of any Invention. Such written records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.
(c) Consultant acknowledges that all Inventions constitute Proprietary Information of the Company and is subject to the restrictions on disclosure, publication and use set forth in this Agreement.
| 12. | Equity. |
(a) All outstanding Options and Restricted Stock Units (each term as defined in the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)) or other grants of equity-based compensation under the Plan shall remain outstanding and continue to vest in accordance with their terms for so long as Consultant is providing services under this Agreement. Upon the termination of the Agreement for any reason, all unvested Options and Restricted Stock Units or other grants of equity-based compensation under the Plans shall immediately terminate and be forfeited and Consultant shall have no further rights with respect thereto. Consultant acknowledges that any and all vested Options shall expire within the time period set forth in the Plan and related award agreement.
| 13. | Indemnification. |
(a) The Consultant shall be responsible for payment of all levies, assessments, and payments required to be made in respect of its business, and in particular, the performance of the Services, and/or in the event that the CRA takes the position that the Consultant was misclassified as an independent contractor and that deductions at source ought to have been made, including, without limitation, all income taxes, GST/HST and other taxes, and all payroll deductions, including Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance and workers compensation assessments, and the Consultant shall indemnify and save the Company harmless in respect of all costs, expenses, charges and liabilities of such or any other kind which may be levied or assessed against the Company in connection therewith.
(b) The Consultant further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, and its officers, directors, employees, servants and agents, from and against all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, actions, lawsuits and other proceedings, judgments and awards, and any costs and expenses thereof (including legal fees), arising out of (i) negligence, or (ii) any willful misconduct of the Consultant, the Consultant’s employees, shareholders, principals or agents, or any persons for whom the Consultant is at law responsible, in connection with the Services or this Agreement. The provisions of this article shall survive termination of the relationship herein and/or the Agreement.
| 14. | Right of Set Off. |
(a) If the Consultant becomes obligated or liable to pay any sum of money to the Company, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, then that sum may, at the election of the Company and without limiting or waiving any right or remedy available to the Company, be set-off against and shall apply to any sum of money owed by the Company to the Consultant, whether by way of holdback or otherwise, until such amount has been set-off in full.

Exhibit 10.2
ADVISORY SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Advisory Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of the date set forth immediately above the parties’ signatures below (the “Effective Date”) and is entered into by and between Impact Solve LLC, a Washington limited liability corporation dba Impact Solutions (the “Advisor”), and the client identified immediately beneath its signature below (the “Client”), with reference to the following facts:
A. Advisor, through its qualified personnel, provides certain business consulting, accounting and other advisory services (the “Services”) to businesses.
B. Client is engaged in business operations and desires to retain Advisor’s Services on the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement and each work order that the parties may subsequently enter.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Work Orders. Client may order, and Advisor may accept, work projects from time to time whose description, deliverables, timing, fee, and payment schedule shall be described in a Work Order signed by both Client and Advisor and appended to this Agreement as part of its Exhibits. In the event of a conflict between any term in this Agreement and any provision in a Work Order, the provision specified in the Work Order shall prevail.
2. Fees and Expenses. The fees for the Services (the “Fees”) will be set forth in each applicable Work Order. Client will reimburse Advisor for the following expenses (the “Expenses”): (i) reasonable travel incurred in performing the Services, provided that such travel expenses are approved in writing by Client in advance, and (ii) any additional expenses that the parties may agree to in writing in advance (“Additional Expenses”).
3. Invoicing and Acceptance. Advisor will invoice Client for the Fees and Expenses in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in each applicable Work Order. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Work Order, Client will have five (5) business days from Advisor’s delivery of any invoice in which to accept or reject, in writing, any Services covered by such invoice. Services covered by an invoice shall be deemed accepted unless rejected within that time. If the Services are not accepted by Client, Advisor will correct and re-perform or re-deliver the Services within ten (10) days of receiving written receipt of such rejection specifying in reasonable detail the reasons why such Services were rejected.
4. Payment. Client will pay all undisputed amounts set forth in an Advisor invoice within ten (10) days after Client’s acceptance of the Services covered by such invoice. Late payments shall accrue interest at the rate of 1% per month until paid. The payment and reimbursement obligations are exclusive of any sales, use, excise, value add, or other taxes that may be asserted on such payments by any federal, state, provincial, or local taxing authority, which taxes will be paid by Client. If Client fails to make any payment when due, Advisor may (a) terminate this Agreement, (b) declare immediately due and payable all of Client’s obligations, (c) change credit terms with respect to any further work, and (d) suspend or discontinue any further work until Client pays all overdue amounts. Client shall reimburse Advisor for all costs incurred in collecting any sums owed by Client to Advisor, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
5. Ownership. All Client proprietary or confidential information and any Work deliverables created by Advisor are the property of Client. All Intellectual Property developed by Advisor prior to, during, or after the course of the engagement shall belong to Advisor, for Advisor to use or to share (subject only to the duty of confidentiality set forth in Section 12) with others without any restriction whatsoever. Conditioned upon receipt of payment for all Fees and Expenses due for the Services, Advisor hereby grants Client a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, irrevocable license, in perpetuity, to use such Intellectual Property, without any restriction, developed by Advisor solely during the course of the engagement.
6. Non-Solicitation
During the period beginning immediately and ending on the second anniversary of the termination or expiration of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Client agrees that it will not, and will ensure that its affiliates do not, directly or indirectly, solicit or attempt to solicit or accept for employment any persons employed or contracted by Impact Solve during such period. A violation of this provision may be remedied by injunction and an action for damages.
7. Term. The term of this Agreement commences as of the Effective Date and will continue in effect until the earlier to occur of (i) either party giving the other no fewer than thirty (30) days prior written notice, except in case of a material breach, in which case the non-breaching party may terminate the agreement immediately upon giving written notice, or (ii) the termination or expiration of the last effective Work Order. If the Parties execute any Work Order at a date following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, this Agreement will then continue to govern such Work Order. Termination will not affect the ownership of and rights in the intellectual property or Client’s obligation to pay Advisor for satisfactory Services completed up to the date of termination.
8. Independent Contractor. Advisor’s relationship with the Client is that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or should be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture, or employment relationship. Advisor is solely responsible for, and will file, on a timely basis, all tax returns and payments required to be filed with, or made to, any federal, state or local tax authority with respect to the performance of services and receipt of compensation under this Agreement.
9. Representations and Warranties. Advisor represents and warrants that: (i) the Services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with standards in the industry; (ii) the Services consist of Advisor’s original work or are derived from pre-existing works that Advisor owns and has a right to deliver to Client under this Agreement; and (iii) neither the Services nor any Work will violate or infringe any common law or statutory right of any third party including, without limitation, any contractual rights, proprietary rights, trademark, service mark, trade secret, copyright, patent rights or any rights of privacy or publicity.
