ADVISOR AGREEMENT

This Advisor Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of February 4, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), between Faze Clan Inc. a Delaware corporation, together with any of its successors or assigns (collectively, “Company”), and the contractor identified on the signature page hereto (“Advisor”).

1.SERVICES

1.1 Statements of Work. From time to time, Company and Advisor may execute one or more statements of work, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, that describe the specific services to be performed by Advisor (as executed, a “Statement of Work”). Each Statement of Work will expressly refer to this Agreement, will form a part of this Agreement, and will be subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. A Statement of Work may be amended only by written agreement of the parties.

1.2 Performance of Services. Advisor will perform the services described in each Statement of Work (the “Services”) and shall deliver to Company the deliverables, designs, products, documentation and other materials specified in the Statement of Work (individually or collectively, “Deliverables”), in a prompt, diligent and workmanlike manner, at a level of proficiency to be expected of a contractor with the background and experience that Advisor has represented it has, and all in accordance with the terms, conditions and schedules set forth in each such Statement of Work and this Agreement. In addition, Advisor shall provide Advisor’s own tools, instruments and equipment and place of performing the Services, unless otherwise agreed.

2. PAYMENT

2.1 Fees. As Advisor’s sole compensation for the performance of Services, Company will pay Advisor the fees specified in each Statement of Work in accordance with the terms set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Advisor acknowledges and agrees that, if specified in the Statement of Work, Company’s payment obligation will be expressly subject to Advisor’s completion or achievement of certain milestones to Company’s reasonable satisfaction.

2.2 Expenses. Unless otherwise explicitly provided in the Statement of Work, Company will not reimburse Advisor for any out-of-pocket travel, lodging or related expenses incurred by Advisor in connection with Advisor’s performance of Services. If the Statement of Work explicitly provides for any such expenses to be reimbursed by the Company, it shall nevertheless be a condition to such reimbursement that all expenses that exceed $500 be pre-approved in writing by the Company. As a condition for reimbursement, Advisor will furnish Company with copies of receipts and other customary documentation for any expenses for which Advisor requests reimbursement hereunder.

2.3 Payment Terms. All fees and other amounts set forth in the Statement of Work, if any, are stated in and are payable in U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise provided in a Statement of Work, Advisor will invoice Company on a monthly basis for all fees and expenses payable to Advisor. Company will pay the full amount of each such invoice within thirty (30) days following receipt thereof, except for any amounts that Company disputes in good faith. The parties will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly resolve any such payment disputes.

3. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

3.1 Advisor. Advisor is an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement will be construed as establishing an employment or agency relationship between Company and Advisor. Advisor has no authority to bind Company by contract or otherwise. Advisor will perform Services under the general direction of Company, but Advisor will determine, in Advisor’s sole discretion, the manner and means by which Services are accomplished, subject to the requirement that Advisor will at all times comply with applicable law. Advisor agrees not to contest Advisor’s designation as an independent contractor.

3.2 Taxes and Employee Benefits. Advisor will report to all applicable government agencies as income all compensation received by Advisor pursuant to this Agreement. Advisor will be solely responsible for payment of all withholding taxes, social security, workers’ compensation, unemployment and disability insurance or similar items required by any government agency. Advisor will not be entitled to any benefits paid or made available by Company to its employees, including, without limitation, any vacation or illness payments, or to participate in any plans, arrangements or distributions made by Company pertaining to any bonus, stock option, profit sharing, insurance, or similar benefits. Advisor will indemnify and hold Company harmless from and against all damages, liabilities, losses, penalties, fines, expenses, and costs (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) arising out of or relating to any obligation imposed by law on Company to pay any withholding taxes, social security, unemployment or disability insurance or similar items in connection with compensation received by Advisor pursuant to this Agreement.

3.3 Liability Insurance. Advisor acknowledges that Company’s existing professional liability insurance will cover Advisor.

4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. For purposes of this agreement, “Confidential Information” means any trade secrets and confidential information involving the operations of the company which derive economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from their disclosure or use including, without limitation: (i) any information, materials or knowledge regarding company and its business, financial condition, products, services, programming techniques, customers, suppliers, technology or research and development that is disclosed to Advisor or to which Advisor has access in connection with performing services; (ii) the Advisor work product; (iii) the terms and conditions of this agreement; (iv) any information that is marked “confidential” or in some comparable manner; and (v) any information that is otherwise confidential or proprietary information. Confidential Information will not include any information that: (a) is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of Advisor; (b) was rightfully in Advisor’s possession at the time of disclosure, without restriction as to use or disclosure; or (c) Advisor rightfully receives from a third party who has the right to disclose it and who provides it without restriction as to use or disclosure. At all times, both during Advisor’s engagement by Company as an independent contractor and after its termination, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Advisor agrees to hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence, not to use it in any way, commercially or otherwise, except in performing services, and not to disclose it to others. Advisor further agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of all Confidential Information. Nothing in this section 5 or otherwise in this agreement shall limit or restrict in any way Advisor’s immunity from liability for disclosing Company’s trade secrets as specifically permitted by 18 U.S. code section 1833, which provides as follows:

Immunity from liability for confidential disclosure of a trade secret to the government or in a court filing. An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made, (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

Use of trade secret information in anti-retaliation lawsuit. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (a) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (b) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

5. WARRANTIES

5.1 No Pre-existing Obligations. Advisor represents and warrants that Advisor has no pre-existing obligations or commitments (and will not assume or otherwise undertake any obligations or commitments) that would be in conflict or inconsistent with or that would hinder Advisor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, Advisor will not directly or indirectly (based on a commercially reasonable standard) solicit the services of any Company employee or independent contractor, Consultant, customer or partner for Advisor’s own benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity affiliated with Advisor.

6. INDEMNITY. Advisor will defend, indemnify and hold company harmless from and against all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, expenses and costs (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any action by a third party against Company that is based on a claim that any Services performed under this Agreement, or the results of such Services, or Advisor’s use thereof, infringe, misappropriate or violate such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights; and

(b) any action by a third party against Company that is based on any act or omission of Advisor and that results in: (i) personal injury (or death) or tangible or intangible property damage (including loss of use); or (ii) the violation of any statute, ordinance, or regulation.

10.4 Governing Law and Arbitration. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its body of law controlling conflict of laws. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined exclusively by mandatory, binding, and confidential arbitration in Los Angeles, California before one arbitrator, administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules.

10.9 Waiver. The failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.
