“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.

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.

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 his full 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 for a period of 1-year from the Effective Date (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. In the event of a Change of Control, the Agreement shall automatically renew for a new 1-year Term on the effective date of the Change of Control ending on the anniversary of the Change of Control.

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. During the initial Term, Executive will be eligible for a Performance Bonus tied to the Company’s earnings (the “Earnings Bonus”). The Company’s Executive Team will share 15% of the Company’s fiscal year Adjusted EBITDA for 2018 that exceeds $3.0 million (the “Earnings Bonus Pool”). The Company will calculate the performance under this metric as it has traditionally done for other executives. Executive will receive 25% of the 2018 Earnings Bonus Pool as his Earnings Bonus. If Executive is not employed by the Company at the time the results are calculated for payment of the Earnings Bonus, and provided Executive’s employment was not terminated pursuant to Paragraph 5.C., he will be paid a pro-rated amount based on the last date of his employment. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, payments pursuant to this paragraph will be made no later than 15 days following the completion of the Company’s audited financial results and filing of the Company’s annual report for fiscal year 2018 within the time extension period.

4

b. 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.

c.  Additionally, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, Executive will receive $25,000 on the earlier of (i) 90 days following the Change of Control, (ii) 15 days following Executive’s severance, provided such severance is not pursuant to Section 5.C., or (iii) 15 days following the Company’s filing of its Form 10-K. This payment amount will offset by an equal amount any payment amount owed as and for the Earnings Bonus for 2018.

d. Notwithstanding anything herein, taking into consideration the payments set forth in 3.B.c. (i) and (ii), and provided Executive’s employment has not previously been terminated pursuant to Section 5.C., then in the event of a Change in Control, Executive will also be paid any amount above $25,000 that is owed as the result of the Earnings Bonus set forth in 3.B.a. This amount, if any, will be paid within 15 days following the Company’s filing of its Form 10-K.

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.

E.           For each fiscal year beyond 2018, the Board will develop, with Executive’s and management’s input, an executive bonus plan that will afford Executive with bonus opportunities in addition to Executive’s Base Salary.

5

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 or sick time off (PTO) in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time.

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 45-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

6

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, upon written notice summarizing with reasonable specificity the basis for the Termination for Cause, terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for any act qualifying as a Termination for Cause. Such termination will be effective immediately upon such notice. 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.

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 or for six months, whichever period is longer; 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.

7

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.b.) 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.

F.            Involuntary Termination Without Cause by the Company following a Change of Control. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated without cause within 12-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 or to offer a bona fide offer of continued employment with a surviving or successor entity, with compensation, benefits, and terms at least equal to those set forth in this Agreement, Executive will continue to receive his Base Salary for the greater of 6-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.           Resignation by Executive following a Change of Control. In the event of Change of Control and if Executive refuses (for any reason) a bona fide offer of continued employment with a surviving or successor entity, with position, compensation, benefits, and terms at least equal to those set forth in this Agreement, Executive will continue to receive his Base Salary for three months after Executive’s employment ends.

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.

8

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 for twelve months 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.

7.

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.

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.

13

8.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.

10.Controlling Law, Jurisdiction and Venue.

11.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.

12.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.

13.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.

14.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.
