This CONSULTING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of August 30, 2024 (“Effective Date”) by and between OneMedNet Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Robert Golden (“Consultant”).

 

1. SERVICES.

 

1.1 Services. Consultant shall be available to perform the function of a Chief Financial Officer (“Services”).

Consultant and Company may refer to Consultant as “Interim” or “Acting” “Chief Financial Officer” or similar title when Consultant is performing the Services.

 

1.2 Status/Employees. Consultant will act solely as an independent contractor and Consultant shall not be considered an employee, agent or partner of Company for any purposes. As an independent contractor, Consultant shall accept any directions issued by the CEO pertaining to the goals to be attained and the results to be achieved by Contractor but shall be solely responsible for the manner and hours in which Contractor will perform the Services under this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that Consultant will not be working full-time on the Services; rather Consultant will work a sufficient number of hours necessary to complete the tasks agreed upon by the CEO and Consultant.

 

1.3 Performance. Consultant shall perform the Services in good faith and shall avoid any conflicts of interest in performance of his obligations under this Agreement.

 

1.4 Authority. This Agreement does not give Consultant any authority, and Consultant shall not represent that this Agreement gives Consultant the authority, to bind Company, to assume or to create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of Company or in its name. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not limit any authority granted to Consultant as an officer of the Company.

 

1.5. No Requirement to use Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to use Consultant for the performance of Services during the term. Company’s only obligation shall be to pay the fees set forth in Section 2.1 in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

2. COMPENSATION.

 

2.1 Payments. As full compensation for the Services, Consultant will receive a fee of $12,000 per month commencing on the Effective Date. In addition, the Company will issue Consultant 100,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that will fully vest on the first anniversary of the Effective Date if Consultant continuously provides the Services in compliance with this Agreement through and on that date, subject to earlier vesting in accordance with Section 7.2.2.

 

 

2.2 Expenses. The Company will reimburse Consultant for reasonable business expenses incurred by Consultant in performing the Services pursuant to this Agreement to the extent in compliance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies, subject to receipts for such expenses being provided to the Company in accordance with Company’s then-current expense reimbursement policy.

 

2.3 Other Compensation. Consultant shall not be entitled to any remuneration, benefits, or expenses except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. The Consultant shall not be eligible to participate in any of the Company’s employee benefit plans, fringe benefit programs, group insurance arrangements or similar programs.

 

3. TAXES.

 

Consultant acknowledges and agrees that it is the sole responsibility of Consultant to report as income the compensation received from Company and to make the requisite tax filings and payments to the appropriate federal, state or local tax authority.
