ADVISORY BOARD CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

This MAX SOUND ADVISORY BOARD CONSULTING AGREEMENT is made effective as of September 3, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between PETER TSOLINAS, (the “Consultant”), an individual acting as an independent contractor, and MAX SOUND CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

1. Background. The Company desires to retain the services of Consultant on the Company’s Advisory Board to provide primarily general advice on current standard practices and trends in Consultant’s area of expertise and from time-to-time in a consulting capacity with respect to certain activities or specific projects as described in this Agreement, and Consultant is willing so to act.

 

2. Description of Services. Company hereby retains Consultant as a member of the Advisory Board of, and a consultant to, the Company, and Consultant hereby agrees to (i) act as a member of the Company’s Advisory Board and (ii) be available at mutually agreeable times to the Company. The Consultant will be engaged by the Company as a Consultant for the exchange of strategic and business development ideas. Consultant’s relationship with the Company shall be that of an independent contractor and not that of an employee. Accordingly, Consultant will not be eligible for any employee benefits, nor will the Company make deductions from payments made to Consultant for taxes, which shall be solely Consultant’s responsibility. Consultant shall have no authority to enter into contracts, which bind the Company or create obligations on the part of the Company. Consultant’s title herein this capacity will be Architectural Engineering and Design Advisor.

 

3. Term and Expiration. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect for three (3) years. Either Consultant or the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving the other party thirty (30) days prior written notice of termination, and such termination shall not affect the Consultant’s continuing obligations to the Company under Section 5.

 

4. Consideration. As a full consideration for the Advisory Board Service and the Consultant Service provided hereunder, the Company will grant to Consultant, subject to approval of the Company’s board of directors, (100,000 shares) one hundred thousand shares of the Company’s Rule 144 Common Stock.

 

5. Publicity. The Company shall, with prior written approval by Advisor, have the right to use the name, biography and picture of Advisor on the Company’s website, and in marketing, advertising and public relations materials.

 

6. Proprietary Information and Assignment of Inventions.

(a) Confidentiality of Proprietary Information. Consultant is not obligated to receive Proprietary Information (as defined below), however Consultant understands and agrees that all Proprietary Information supplied by the Company shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns, including all trade secrets, patents, copyrights and other rights in connection therewith. Consultant will hold in confidence and not use or disclose such information, both during Consultant’s consulting relationship with the Company and for a period of five (5) years after its termination (irrespective of the reason for such termination), any Proprietary Information Consultant obtains or creates during Consultant’s consulting relationship, except to the extent authorized by the Company, or until such Proprietary Information becomes generally known. Such disclosure extends to third parties including any foreign or domestic patent office. Consultant agrees not to make copies of such Proprietary Information except as authorized by the Company. Upon termination of Consultant’s consulting relationship or upon an earlier request of the Company, Consultant will return or deliver to the Company all tangible forms of such Proprietary Information in Consultant’s possession or control, including but not limited to drawings, specifications, documents, records, devices, models or any other material and copies or reproductions thereof.

 

As used in this Agreement, the term “Proprietary Information” means information or physical material not generally known or available outside the Company or information or physical material entrusted to the Company by third parties. This includes, but is not limited to, inventions, confidential knowledge, copyrights, product ideas, techniques, processes, formulas, object codes, mask works and/or any other information of any type relating to documentation, data, schematics, algorithms, flow charts, mechanisms, research, manufacture, improvements, assembly, installation, marketing, forecasts, sales, pricing, customers, the salaries, duties, qualifications, performance levels and terms of compensation of other employees, and/or cost or other financial data concerning any of the foregoing or the Company and its operations. Proprietary Information may be contained in material such as drawings, samples, procedures, specifications, reports, studies, customer or supplier lists, budgets, cost or price lists, compilations or computer programs, or may be in the nature of unwritten knowledge or know-how.

 

(b) License and Assignment of Rights. Consultant acknowledges that all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets which are contributed by Consultant (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and as part of Consultant’s consultancy with the Company (collectively referred to herein as “Inventions”) are “works made for hire” (to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law) and are compensated by such amounts paid to Consultant under this Agreement, unless regulated otherwise by the mandatory law of the State of Delaware. To the extent that Consultant owns or controls intellectual property rights of any kind in any pre-existing works which are subsequently incorporated by Consultant in any Inventions without the express written permission of the Company, Consultant hereby grants the Company a royalty-free, irrevocable, world-wide, perpetual, non-exclusive license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, sell, license, disclose, publish, or otherwise disseminate or transfer such subject matter.

 

7. Non-Compete; Non-solicitation. During the term of Consultant’s consultancy and for one (1) year thereafter, Consultant will not, without the Company’s prior written consent, (a) directly work on any products or services, or indirectly work on any commercial products or services, that are competitive with products or services (i) being commercially developed or exploited by the Company during Consultant’s consultancy and (ii) on which Consultant worked or about which Consultant learned Proprietary Information during Consultant’s consultancy with the Company; or (b) solicit the employment of any employee of the Company with whom Consultant has had contact in connection with the relationship arising under this Agreement.

 

8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

 

9. No Conflict. Consultant represents that Consultant’s performance of all the terms of this Agreement and that Consultant’s retention as an advisor by the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence any proprietary information acquired by Consultant in confidence prior to Consultant’s retention as an advisor by the Company. Consultant has not entered into, and agrees Consultant will not enter into, any agreement, either written or oral, in conflict with the foregoing sentence. Consultant understands as part of the consideration for the offer to retain Consultant as an advisor, and of Consultant’s retention as an advisor by the Company, that Consultant has not brought and will not bring with Consultant to the Company or use in the performance of Consultant’s responsibilities at the Company any equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of any current or former employer which are not generally available to the public. Consultant also understands that, in Consultant’s retention as an advisor with the Company, Consultant is not to breach any obligation of confidentiality that Consultant has to others, and Consultant agrees that Consultant shall fulfill all such obligations during Consultant’s retention as an advisor with the Company.

 

10. Mediation and Arbitration. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be resolved through mediation - arbitration approach. The parties agree to select a mutually agreeable, neutral third party to help them mediate any dispute that arises under the terms of this Agreement. Costs and fees associated with the mediation shall be shared equally by the parties. If the mediation is unsuccessful, the parties agree that the dispute shall be decided by a single arbitrator by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by either party. The prevailing party in the arbitration proceedings shall be awarded reasonable attorney fees, expert witness costs and expenses, and all other costs and expenses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with the proceedings, unless the arbitrator shall for good cause determine otherwise.
