On December 19, 2019, the Company entered into an Independent Contractor Services Agreement with Dr. Avtar Dhillon, pursuant to which Dr. Dhillon will provide ongoing corporate finance and strategic business advisory services to the Company. In exchange for his services, Dr. Dhillon initially received a monthly fee of $10,000, with (i) $5,000 paid each month and (ii) $5,000 accruing from the effective date of the agreement and payable upon the Company’s completion of a material financing. On March 30, 2020, the Company and Dr. Dhillon amended the Independent Contractor Services Agreement by agreeing to defer payment of 100% of Dr. Dhillon’s consulting fees until the Board of Directors determines that the Company has been sufficiently financed to make such payments at which point the Company agrees to pay Dr. Dhillon all of his accrued consulting fees, and a bonus of 10% of his accrued consulting fees, less applicable tax and other withholdings. The deferral was paid concurrent with the August 2020 Financing. After the August 2020 Financing, Dr. Dhillon continues to receive a monthly cash fee of $10,000 per month for his services. The Board reviews the monthly rate paid to Dr. Dhillon within 90 days of the end of each year. The Independent Contractor Services Agreement has an initial term of one year and automatically renews thereafter unless terminated earlier by either party. The Independent Contractor Services Agreement may be terminated by either party for cause upon written notice to the other party if the other party defaults in the performance of the agreement in any material respect or materially breaches the terms of the agreement, or without cause upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party. Under this agreement, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred fees of $30,000. No expenses were incurred under this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has accrued $10,000 in expense related to the Independent Contractor Services Agreement.
In addition, there is a Board Observer Agreement in place with Emerald Health Sciences to allow Dr. Dhillon to act as a representative of Emerald Health Sciences as a non-voting observer in future meetings of the Board.
