Consulting Period The consulting relationship will commence on the Separation Date and will continue until May 1, 2024, which will become your consulting termination date (the “Consulting Termination Date”), unless terminated earlier pursuant to Paragraph 5(h) below (the “Consulting Period”).

Transition Period Due to the nature of our purchasing process, the District often requires an existing service provider to continue to provide goods and/or services while the District is in the process of advertising, evaluating, and awarding a contract for the provision of the same goods and/or services in the future. To accommodate this process, the Contractor shall agree to maintain the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for a period up to ninety (90) days after the automatic termination of this Agreement at the end of its term, if requested by the District, as a transition period. In addition, if the Contractor is not the successful bidder for a future solicitation for the same or similar services, he or she shall agree to provide the same goods and/or services provided in this Agreement for a period up to ninety (90) days to allow for an orderly transition to the new provider. The District and the Contractor may mutually agree to a longer transition period.
ENGAGEMENT TERM The Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder shall be until the earlier of (i) the final Closing Date of the Placement and (ii) the date either party terminates the engagement according to the terms of the next sentence (such date, the “Termination Date”). After an initial period of thirty (30) days from the date of the Company’s Engagement Letter, dated December 11, 2024, with the Placement Agent (the “Engagement Letter”), the engagement may be terminated at any time by either party upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the other party, effective upon receipt of written notice to that effect by the other party. The period described in the preceding two sentences shall represent the “Engagement Term.” The Agreement may not be earlier terminated except for Cause (defined hereinafter). If there is a Closing of the Placement, or if the Termination Date occurs prior to Closing of the Placement (other than for Cause), then if within twelve (12) months following such time, the Company completes any financing of equity, equity-linked, convertible or debt or other capital raising activity with, or receives any proceeds from, any of the investors contacted or introduced by Maxim during the Engagement Term, then the Company will pay Maxim upon the closing of such financing or receipt of such proceeds the compensation set forth in Section 3 herein. “Cause,” for the purpose of this Agreement, shall mean, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, M▇▇▇▇’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a material breach of this Agreement, after being notified in writing of such conduct, and not curing such alleged conduct within ten (10) business days of notification of such alleged wrongful conduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions concerning confidentiality, indemnification, contribution, future rights and the Company’s obligations to pay fees and reimburse expenses contained herein and the Company’s obligations contained in the Indemnification Provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Maxim agrees not to use any confidential information concerning the Company provided to Maxim by the Company for any purposes other than those contemplated under this Agreement.
