EXHIBIT 10.1

Company and Partner may each be referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

	1.	Purpose. Company is in the business of employee and contractor recruiting solutions (“Company Business”) and Partner is in a position to refer potential clients/customers and assign certain current customers contracts to Company and Company wishes for Partner to do so.

	2.	Terms.

	a.	The “Base Referral Percentage” shall be five percent (5%) in March and April 2023, ten percent (10%) in May 2023, fifteen percent (15%) in June of 2023 and twenty percent (20%) thereafter.

	b.	The “Monthly Recurring Revenue” or “MRR” shall mean the total Gross Sales actually received by Company from all Referred Clients (as defined below) in any given calendar month.

	c.	“Gross Sales” shall mean total gross sales actually received by Company from a Referred Client less any sales tax, and processing fees charged to Company. Prepayments shall not be included in the calculation of Gross Sales until actually earned.

	d.	The “Minimum Commission” shall be equal to the MRR for April 2023 multiplied by thirty-five percent (35%); that result multiplied by twelve (12).

		By way of example only, if the MRR for April 2023 is $100,000, the Minimum Commission would be $420,000; the formula is $100,000 x .35 x 12 = $420,000.

	e.	The “Maximum Commission” shall be equal to the MRR for April 2023 multiplied by seventy-five percent (75%); that result multiplied by twelve (12). By way of example only, using the same amounts from Section 2.d above, the formula is $100,000 x .75 x 12 = $900,000.

	f.	The “Prepayment Amount” shall be equal to: two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) less the product of: total Gross Sales actually received by Partner in March for services performed in March multiplied by the quotient of the date number of the Effective Date divided by thirty-one (31).

Referral Arrangement.

	a.	Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, Partner may, from time-to-time transfer, assign or refer (“Refer”) certain clients to Company. For each new client of Company, with whom Company did not have Commercial Contact with in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to that Client being Referred to Company (each a “Referred Client”), Company shall pay to Partner the Referral Fee (as defined below). Company shall notify Partner within thirty (30) days of being Referred a client if Company had Commercial Contact with such “new” client prior to such Referral; except that a failure to notify Partner shall not be a material breach of this Agreement nor obligate Company to pay the associated Referral Fee for such client. As used to calculate the Referral Fee, a Referred Client shall mean such client only to the extent of the line of work or industry for which Partner explicitly Referred such client to Company. “Commercial Contact” shall mean: (i) rendering commercial services for compensation, or (ii) actively engaging in contractual or sales negotiations to render commercial services for compensation, as can be shown by written documentation.

	b.	CNH Industrial shall not be deemed a Referred Client.

	c.	The “Referral Fee” shall be calculated as follows:

	i.	The “Existing Client Commission:” For each Referred Client, who had purchased services from Partner in the three (3) months immediately preceding the Effective Date and who purchases services from Company of a nature historically offered by Partner, the Referral Fee shall be calculated as the MRR attributable to that Referred Client multiplied by the Base Referral Percentage as of the date the client is Referred to Company.

	ii.	The “New Client Commission:” For each Referred Client, who had not purchased services from Partner in the three (3) months immediately preceding the Effective Date and who purchases services from Company of a nature historically offered by Partner, the Referral Fee shall be calculated as the MRR attributable to that Referred Client multiplied by twenty percent (20%).

	iii.	The “New Offering Commission:” For each Referred Client, who purchases services from Company NOT of a nature historically offered by Partner, the Referral Fee shall be calculated as the MRR less all costs of production, servicing and overhead attributable to that Referred Client multiplied by fifty percent (50%).

Upon payment of total Referral Fees greater than the Minimum Commission, the New Offering Commission and New Client Commission shall cease to accrue or be paid to Partner.
