Independent Contractor Agreement effective October 16, 2021 between Venus Concept USA Inc. and Chad Zaring

In consideration of the Services provided, the Company shall pay to the Contractor a fee of $300.00 per hour (the “Fee”) where such payments will be made 30 days following receipt by the Company of an invoice prepared by the Contractor outlining the extent of Services provided and details of hours worked. The Contractor agrees to clearly reference the applicable sales tax registration number on all such invoices provided to the Company.

Company shall reimburse Contractor for all reasonable and necessary documented out of pocket expenses incurred or paid by Contractor in connection with, or related to, the performance of the Services. Contractor shall submit to Company itemized monthly statements, in a form satisfactory to Company, of such expenses incurred in the previous month. Company shall pay to Contractor amounts shown on each such statement within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall not incur total expenses in excess of $200 per month without the prior written approval of Company.

There shall be no set hours of work. However, the Contractor agrees to be reasonably available to provide Services to the Company as may be required and only at the request of the Company. The Parties agree that such hours will not normally exceed 10 hours per week.

The Contractor is and shall remain at all times an independent contractor and is not, and shall not represent himself/herself to be an agent, joint venture, partner, officer, director or employee of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create nor shall be construed as creating an employment relationship between the Contractor and the Company. The Contractor has sole responsibility, as an independent contractor, to comply with all laws, rules and regulations relating to the provision of Services. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for all state and federal income taxes, unemployment insurance and social security taxes in connection with this Agreement and for maintaining adequate workers’ compensation insurance coverage. As an independent contractor, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any employment related benefits of any kind from the Company, except as provided for in the Confidential Separation and Release Agreement between the parties. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Company shall only be responsible for paying those Fees associated with Services provided by the Contractor up to and including the termination date.

The Contractor agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, the Contractor will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, engage in, accept employment from, perform services for, or become affiliated with or connected with, either directly or indirectly, any person, firm, corporation, partnership or other business entity which is doing business with the Company relative to any project worked on by the Contractor under this Agreement, and further agrees that the Contractor will avoid all circumstances and actions which would place the Contractor in a position of divided loyalty with respect to the Contractor’s obligations in connection with this Agreement.

During the Contractor’s performance of the Services, the Contractor will have access to and be entrusted with confidential information relating to the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective customers, suppliers and employees (the “Confidential Information”), the particulars of which, if disclosed to competitors of the Company or to the general public, would be detrimental to the best interests of the Company. The Contractor, therefore, agrees that the Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the Company, and that while a contractor for the Company and at all times thereafter, the Contractor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company:

The Contractor shall comply with applicable health and safety laws, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, losses, fines, surcharges, damages, costs and expenses arising out of the Contractor’s failure to comply with such laws. The Contractor further agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, suits, losses, fines, surcharges, damages, costs and expenses relating to the injury or death of any person, damage to or destruction of any property, which is directly or indirectly caused by any act or omission on the part of the Contractor or any employees of the Contractor engaged in providing Services to the Company.

In the event that any covenant, provision or restriction contained in this Agreement is found to be void or unenforceable (in whole or in part) by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect or impair the validity of any other covenant, provisions or restrictions contained herein, nor shall it affect the validity or enforceability of such covenants, provisions or restrictions in any other jurisdiction or in regard to other circumstances. Any covenants, provisions or restrictions found to be void or unenforceable are declared to be separate and distinct, and the remaining covenants, provisions and restrictions shall remain in full force and effect.

Any modifications or amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both Parties or else they shall have no force and effect. The Parties specifically acknowledge that the Company’s continued retention of the Contractor shall be sufficient and ample consideration supporting any future modifications or amendments to this Agreement.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, including without limitation, the Contractor’s heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives.

The Contractor may not assign any of the Contractor’s rights or delegate any of the Contractor’s duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company may, without the consent of the Contractor, assign its rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement to an affiliate or to a purchaser of all, or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes and replaces any and all other representations, understandings, negotiations and previous agreements, written or oral, express or implied.

The Contractor acknowledges that the Contractor has read and understands the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, and that the Company has provided a reasonable opportunity for the Contractor to seek independent legal advice prior to executing this Agreement.
