Dear Ahmad El-Dardiry:


 


Transfix, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), is pleased to offer you employment with the Company on the terms described below.


 


Position.
You will start in a full-time position as Chief Revenue Officer and General Manager, Demand. Your Start Date will be March 1,
2019, and the position will be based in our New York City headquarters. By signing this letter, you confirm with the Company
that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties with the
Company.


 


Base Salary.
You will be paid a starting salary at the rate of $300,000 per year. Your semi-monthly salary will be at the rate of $12,500, which will
be paid in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll policies and subject to applicable withholdings and other required deductions.


 


Bonus. You
will be eligible for a dictionary bonus for each calendar year. Initially, your annual target bonus will be $100,000. The bonus, if
any, will be awarded based on any combination of a) the evaluation of performance against objectives agreed to between you and the
Company; b) subjective criteria established by the Company; and c) Company financial performance. The Company reserves the right to
modify or cancel this bonus program at any time for any reason. In order to earn a bonus for any such calendar year, you must remain
actively and continuously employed by the Company through the end of such calendar year and the date the bonus is due to be paid.
Any bonus will be paid no later than March 15 of the year following the performance period, but only if you are still employed
by the Company at the time of payment. The Chief Executive Officer and/or the Company’s Board of Directors will have sole and
final discretion to determine whether the performance objectives have been achieved and the amount of any bonus. For the calendar
year 2019, you will be eligible for a pro-rated annual bonus calculated based on your Start Date.


 






     


     


    

 


Relocation
Bonus. In order to assist you with moving to the NYC area, the Company will provide you a relocation bonus (“Relocation
Bonus”) in the aggregate net amount (after payroll taxes) of $50,000. The Relocation Bonus shall be paid within 30 days of your
Start Date. In the event that your employment is terminated before the one year anniversary of the Start by the Company for Cause (as
defined below) or due to your resignation for any reason, you will be required to promptly repay to the Company the amount of the Relocation
Bonus paid to you.


 


Equity Grants. Subject to the
approval of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), you will be granted an option to purchase one
million (1,000,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “New Hire Option”). Subject to the approval
of the Board, the Option will vest and become exercisable at the rate of 25% of the total original number of Option shares on the 1
year anniversary of your start date with the Company and 1/48th of
the total original number of Option shares on each monthly anniversary thereafter, subject to your continuous service with the
Company through each vesting date. The exercise price per share of the Option will be equal to the fair market value per share of
the Company’s Common Stock on the date the Option is granted, as determined by the Board in good faith. There is no guarantee
that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with this value. You should consult with your own tax advisor concerning the tax
consequences associated with accepting the Option.

The Option will be subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in the Company’s 2014 Stock Plan and the Company’s standard form of stock option agreement.


 


Employee
Benefits. As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs,
if any, currently and hereafter maintained by the Company and generally available to similarly situated employees (defined as executive
employees reporting to the Chief Executive Officer) of the Company, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of the plan in question,
including any eligibility requirements set forth therein, and the determination of any person or committee administering the plan. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to modify job titles and salaries and to modify or terminate benefits from time to time
as it deems necessary or appropriate.


 


Confidential
Information and Invention Assignment Agreement. Like all Company employees, you will be required, as a condition of your employment
with the Company, to sign the Company’s enclosed standard Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”).


 


Employment
Relationship. Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the Company will be “at
will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.
Any contrary representations which may have been made to you are superseded by this offer. This is the full and complete agreement between
you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel
policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an
express written agreement signed by you and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Benefits
upon Termination. If your employment with the Company is terminated for any reason by the Company or by you, the Company
shall only be required to pay you (or, in the event of your death, your estate) the following: (a) any earned but previously
unpaid base salary earned by you as of the last day of your employment with the Company (the “Severance Date”);
and (b) reimbursement of business expenses that you incurred on behalf of the Company in accordance with the Company’s
expense reimbursement policy (“Accrued Obligations”). In addition, in the event that your employment is
terminated by the Company without Cause (as such term is defined in the Plan), and subject to you complying with the Severance
Conditions (as defined below), you will be entitled to receive: (a) payment of three (3) months of your base salary, less
standard withholdings and authorized deductions, which shall be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth day following the Severance Date;
and (b) if such termination without Cause occurs during the six (6) month period immediately following a Change of
Control (as defined in the Plan), you will become vested in 100% of the then unvested portion of the outstanding option awards
granted to you as of the Severance Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Severance Conditions” means you
(i) signing a separation agreement that contains a general release of claims and non-disparagement covenant in favor of the
Company (among other terms) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Separation Agreement”) within
twenty-one (21) days following the Severance Date (or such longer period as may be necessary to obtain an effective general release
of all claims), and you not revoking the Separation Agreement during the seven-day period after you sign it; and
(ii) complying with the terms of the Separation Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement.


 


Outside Activities.
While you render services to the Company, you agree that you will not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity
without the written consent of the Company. In addition, while you render services to the Company, you will not assist any person or entity
in competing with the Company, in preparing to compete with the Company or in hiring any employees or consultants of the Company.

authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such instruments
and papers and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the application for, prosecution, issuance, maintenance or transfer
of letters patent, copyright, mask work and other registrations related to such Company Inventions. This power of attorney is coupled
with an interest and shall not be affected by my subsequent incapacity.

		(g)	Exception
to Assignments.  Subject to the requirements of applicable state law, if any, I understand that the Company Inventions
will not include, and the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of inventions to the Company do not apply to, any invention
which qualifies fully for exclusion under the provisions of applicable state law, if any.  In order to assist in the determination
of which inventions qualify for such exclusion, I will advise the Company promptly in writing, during and after the term of the
Relationship, of all Inventions solely or jointly conceived or developed or reduced to practice by me during the period of the Relationship.



 


		5.	Company
Property; Returning Company Documents. I acknowledge and agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to the Company’s
telecommunications, networking or information processing systems (including, without limitation, files, e-mail messages, and voice messages)

I further agree that any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage
media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. I agree that,
at the time of termination of the Relationship, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession, recreate or deliver
to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints,
sketches, laboratory notebooks, materials, flow charts, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any of the aforementioned
items developed by me pursuant to the Relationship or otherwise belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns.

		6.	Termination Certification. In the
event of the termination of the Relationship, I agree to sign and deliver the “Termination Certification” attached
hereto as Exhibit B; however, my failure to sign and deliver the Termination Certification shall in no way diminish my continuing
obligations under this Agreement.



 


		7.	Notice to Third Parties. I agree
that during the periods of time during which I am restricted in taking certain actions by the terms of this Agreement (the “Restriction
Period”), I shall inform any entity or person with whom I may seek to enter into a business relationship (whether as an
owner, employee, independent contractor or otherwise) of my contractual obligations under this Agreement. I also understand and agree
that the Company may, with or without prior notice to me and during or after the term of the Relationship, notify third parties of my
agreements and obligations under this Agreement. I further agree that, upon written request by the Company, I will respond to the
Company in writing regarding the status of my employment or proposed employment with any party during the Restriction Period.

		8.	Solicitation
of Employees, Consultants and Other Parties.   As described above, I acknowledge and agree that the Company’s

I will not use or disclose such Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company.  I further agree as follows:



 


		(a)	Employees,
Consultants. I agree that during the term of the Relationship, and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following  the  termination  of  the  Relationship  for  any  reason,
whether with or without cause, I shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s

away employees or consultants of the Company, either for myself or for any other person or entity.



 


		(b)	Other
                                                                                                                                                                 Parties.  I agree that during the term of the Relationship, I will not negatively influence any of the
                                                                                                                                                                 Company’s clients, licensors, licensees or customers from purchasing Company products or services or solicit or influence or
                                                                                                                                                                 attempt to influence any client, licensor, licensee, customer or other person either directly or indirectly, to direct any purchase
                                                                                                                                                                 of products and/or services to any person, firm, corporation, institution or other entity in competition with the business of the

                                                                                                                                                                 time to time) to which I will have access during the term of the Relationship.  I understand that the Company intends to
                                                                                                                                                                 vigorously pursue its rights under applicable Trade Secrets law if, during a period of twelve (12) months immediately following
                                                                                                                                                                 the termination of the Relationship for any reason,
                                                                                                                                                                 whether with or without cause, I solicit or influence or attempt to influence any client, licensor, licensee, customer or other
                                                                                                                                                                 person either directly or indirectly, to direct any purchase of products and/or services to any person, firm, corporation,
                                                                                                                                                                 institution or other entity in competition with the business of the Company. Thereafter, the Company intends to vigorously pursue
                                                                                                                                                                 its rights under applicable Trade Secrets law as the circumstances warrant.

		9.	Covenant
Not to Compete.  As described above, I acknowledge and agree that the Company’s Confidential Information
includes information relating to the Company’s employees, consultants, customers and others, and that I will not use or disclose
such Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company.  I further agree as follows:



 


		(a)	I
agree that during the course of my Relationship, and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of my Relationship
for any reason, whether with or without cause, at the option either of the Company or myself, with or without notice, or twelve (12)
months from the date of any court order enforcing all or part of this Agreement, whichever is later, I will not, either directly
or indirectly, (i) act or agree to act as an advisor, agent, consultant, director, employee, officer, partner, proprietor or otherwise
of, (ii) own or acquire any ownership interest in (except for passive ownership of one percent (1%) or less of any entity whose
securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended) or (iii) participate in the organization, financing, operation, management or control of, any Competing Business (as
defined below) in the Territory (A) as conducted by the Company during the course of my employment with the Company or (B) planned
to be conducted by the Company pursuant to a product or business plan developed prior to the termination of my employment with the Company.
 “Territory” shall mean (i) all counties in the State of New York, (ii) all other states of the United States
of America, (iii) the European Union, (iv) Asia, and (v) all other countries of the world in which the Company is then
engaged in business. In particular, “Territory” shall include such geographic areas in which (I) the Company’s
products and Relationships are then deployed, (II) the Company then has a customer or (III) the Company then has operations
or otherwise targets sales and marketing activities or conducts or has plans to conduct business during the course of my employment.




 






    -19-


     


    

 


		 	“Competing Business” is defined as any person, corporation,
firm, or other entity, and any of their parent, subsidiary or affiliated entities that (a) competes directly or indirectly with
Transfix for business in transportation management and/or third party logistics services, (b) any business that develops and/or
sells software solutions, hardware solution, or technology products to support fleet management, freight management, or similar business
activities, and/or (c) develops real-time supply chain visibility and/or predictive analytics platforms for transportation supply
chain management. For purposes of illustration only, examples of category (a) include CH Robinson, Transplace, Convoy, Uber Freight,
Flexport, Loadsmart and Next Trucking, category (b) includes FourKites and KeepTruckin, and category (c) includes Project44
and MacroPoint.



 






    -20-


     


    

 


		(b)	I
acknowledge that my fulfillment of the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, my obligation neither
to use, except for the benefit of the Company, nor to disclose the Company’s Confidential Information and my obligation not to
compete contained in Section 9(a) above is necessary to protect the Company’s Confidential Information and to preserve
the Company’s value and goodwill. I further acknowledge the time, geographic and scope limitations of my obligations under Section 9(a)
above are reasonable, especially in light of the Company’s desire to protect its Confidential Information, and that I will not
be precluded from gainful employment if I am obligated not to compete with the Company as described above.



 


		(c)	The
covenants contained in Section 9(a) above shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each city, county and
state of any geographic area in the Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical
in terms to the covenant contained in Section 9(a). If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate
covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent
necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event the provisions of Section 9(a) above
are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to
the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, then permitted by such law.



 






    -21-


     


    

 






 


	(d)	This Agreement
is understood to be clear and enforceable as written and is executed by both parties on that basis. However, should I later challenge
any provision as unclear, unenforceable, or inapplicable to any competitive activity that I intend to engage in, I will first notify
the Company in writing and meet with a Company representative and a neutral mediator (if the Company elects to retain one at its expense)
to discuss resolution of any disputes between the parties. I will provide this notification at least fourteen (14) days before I engage
in any activity on behalf of a competitor of the Company or engage in other activity that could foreseeably fall within a questioned
restriction.  The failure to comply with this requirement shall waive my right to challenge the reasonable scope, clarity,
applicability, or enforceability of the Agreement and its restrictions at a later time.  All rights of both parties will be
preserved if this requirement is complied with even if no agreement is reached in the conference.  I further agree that during
the term of the restrictions in this Section 9, I shall promptly inform the Company in writing of the identity of any new employer,
the job title of my new position and a description of any Relationships to be rendered to that employer; and, if the new employer is
a competitor of the Company, will communicate my obligations under this Agreement to each new employer, which shall include providing
each new employer with a copy of this Agreement. 



 


	10.	At-Will
    Relationship.  I understand and acknowledge that, except as may
    be otherwise explicitly provided in a separate written agreement between the
    Company and me, my Relationship with the Company is and shall continue to be
    at-will, as defined under applicable law, meaning that either I or the
    Company may terminate the Relationship at any time for any reason or no
    reason, without further obligation or liability, other than those provisions
    of this Agreement that explicitly continue in effect after the termination of the Relationship.

	11.	Representations and Covenants.



 





	
    (a)

     
	
    Facilitation of
    Agreement.  I agree to execute promptly, both during and after the end of the Relationship, any proper oath, and
    to verify any proper document, required to carry out the terms of this Agreement, upon the Company’s written request to do
    so.



 


	
    (b)

     

     

     

     

     

      
	
    No Conflicts.  I
represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement does not and will not breach any agreement I have entered into, or will
enter into, with any third party, including with- out limitation any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information or materials
acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to or during the Relationship.  I will not disclose to the Company or use any
inventions, confidential or non-public proprietary information or material belonging to any previous client, employer or any other party.  I
will not induce the Company to use any inventions, confidential or non-public proprietary information, or material belonging to any previous
client, employer or any other party.  I acknowledge and agree that I have listed on Exhibit A all agreements (e.g.,
non-competition agreements, non-solicitation of customers agreements, non-solicitation of employees agreements, confidentiality agreements,
inventions agreements, etc.), if any, with a current or former client, employer, or any other person or entity, that may restrict
my ability to accept employment with the Company or my ability to recruit or engage customers or service providers on behalf of the Company,
or otherwise relate to or restrict my ability to perform my
duties for the Company or any obligation I may have to the Company.  I agree not to enter into any written or oral agreement
that conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement.



 



    -23-


     


    

 


	(c)	Voluntary
    Execution.  I certify and acknowledge that I have carefully
    read all of the provisions of this Agreement, that I understand and have voluntarily accepted such provisions, and that I will
    fully and faithfully comply with such provisions.  



 


	12.	Electronic
    Delivery.  Nothing herein is intended to imply a right to participate in any of the Company’s equity
    incentive plans, however, if I do participate in such plan(s), the Company
    may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to my
    participation in the Company’s equity incentive plan(s) by
    electronic means or to request my consent to participate in such plan(s) by electronic means.  I hereby consent to
    receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree, if applicable, to
    participate in such plan(s) through an on-line or electronic system established
    and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.     



 


	13.	Miscellaneous.



 


	(a)	Governing
    Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of
    this Agreement, and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights
    and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and
    interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of New York.  



 






    -24-


     


    

 


	(b)	Entire
    Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement
    and understanding between the Company and me relating to its subject matter and merges all prior discussions between us. No
    amendment to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing signed by both parties to this Agreement. The Company shall not be
    deemed hereby to have waived any rights or remedies it may have in law or equity, nor to have given any authorizations or waived any
    of its rights under this Agreement, unless, and only to the extent, it does so by a specific writing signed by a duly authorized
    officer of the Company, it being understood that, even if I am an officer of the Company, I will not have authority to give any
    such authorizations or waivers for the Company under this Agreement without specific approval by the Board of Directors. Any
    subsequent change or changes in my duties, obligations, rights or compensation will not affect the validity or scope
of this Agreement.
	 	 
	(c)	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors,
    administrators and other legal representatives, and my successors and assigns, and will be for the benefit
of the Company, its successors, and its assigns.
	 	 
	(d)	Notices.
Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or by overnight
courier or sent by email, or 48 hours after being deposited
in the U.S. mail as certified or registered mail with postage prepaid,
addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s
address as set forth on the signature page, as subsequently modified by
written notice, or if no address is specified on the signature page,
at the most recent address set forth in the Company’s books
and records.


 









    -25-


     


    

 





	(e)	Severability.
If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed void or unenforceable to any extent in any context, such provisions shall nevertheless be enforced to the fullest
extent allowed by law in that and other contexts, and the validity
and force of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected.The Company and I have attempted to limit my right to use,
maintain and disclose the Company’s Confidential Information,
and to limit my right to solicit employees and customers only to
the extent necessary to protect the Company from unfair competition. Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the
scope of the covenants contained in Section 8 and Section 9
exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems reasonable and enforceable, the parties intend that the court should reform,
modify and enforce the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable under the circumstances
existing at that time.
	 	 
	(f)	Remedies.
I acknowledge and agree that violation of this Agreement by me may cause the Company irreparable harm,
and therefore I agree that the Company will be entitled to seek extraordinary relief in court, including, but not limited to, temporary
restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions without the necessity of posting a bond or other security
(or,where such a bond or security is required, I agree that
a $1,000 bond will be adequate), in addition to and without prejudice
to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have for
a breach of this Agreement.



 






    -26-


     


    

 


	(g)	Advice of
Counsel.  I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE
OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS  AGREEMENT  SHALL  NOT  BE  CONSTRUED
AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF.
	 	
	(h)	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
    counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Re: Amendment to
Employment Agreement


 


Dear Ahmad:


 


This letter (this
 “Amendment”) serves to amend your offer letter, dated January 31st,
2019, between Transfix, Inc. (the “Company”) and you regarding the terms of your employment with the Company
(the “Employment Agreement”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Employment Agreement.


 


The Company and you hereby agree to amend the Employment
Agreement as follows:


 


1.             The
section beginning at the bottom of page 3 of the Employment Agreement entitled “Benefits upon Termination” is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:


 


Benefits
upon Termination. If your employment with the Company is terminated for any reason by the Company or by you, the Company shall
only be required to pay you (or, in the event of your death, your estate) the following: (a) any earned but previously unpaid base
salary earned by you as of the last day of your employment with the Company (the “Severance Date”); and (b) reimbursement
of business expenses that you incurred on behalf of the Company in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy (“Accrued
Obligations”). In addition, if applicable, (a) in the event that your employment is terminated by the Company without
Cause (as such term is defined in the Company’s 2014 Stock Plan or the Company’s 2019 Stock Plan (or any successor plan)
collectively, the “Plan”)), and subject to your complying with the Severance Conditions (as defined below), you will also
be entitled to receive payment of six (6) months of your base salary then in effect, less standard withholdings and authorized deductions,
which shall be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Severance Date; and (b) in the event that your employment
is terminated due to an Involuntary Termination (as defined below) during the period commencing ninety (90) days before a Change of Control
(as defined in the Plan) and ending on the twelve month anniversary of a Change of Control, and subject to your complying with the Severance
Conditions, you will become vested in 100% of the then unvested portion of the outstanding Equity Awards (as defined below) previously
granted to you as of the Severance Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meaning as set forth below:


 


“Severance
Conditions” means your (i) signing a separation agreement that contains a general release of claims and non-disparagement
covenant in favor of the Company (among other terms) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Separation Agreement”)
within twenty one (21) days following the Severance Date (or such longer period as may be necessary to obtain an effective general release
of all claims), and your not revoking the Separation Agreement during the seven-day period after you sign it; and (ii) complying
with the terms of the Separation Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below).


 


	/s/ Ahmad El-Dardiry	 







 






    1


     


    

 


“Involuntary
Termination” means a termination of your employment by the Company without Cause, by you for Good Reason (as defined below),
or due to your death or Disability (as defined below).


 


“Good
Reason” means shall mean the occurrence (without your written consent) of any one or more of the following conditions: (i) a
reduction of your base salary then in effect in excess of 10% (unless pursuant to a salary reduction program applicable generally to
the Company’s similarly situated executives); or (ii) a change in the geographic location of your principal office with the
Company that is more than fifty (50) miles from the current location of the Company’s executive office; provided, however, that
any such condition or conditions, as applicable, shall not constitute Good Reason unless (a) you provide written notice to the Company
of the condition claimed to constitute Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such condition(s); (b) the
Company fails to remedy such condition(s) within thirty (30) days of receiving such written notice thereof; and (c) you terminate
your employment with the Company within thirty (30) days following the end of the Company’s cure period.


 


“Disability”
means a physical or mental impairment which, as reasonably determined by the Company, renders you unable to perform the essential functions
of your job with the Company, even with reasonable accommodation that does not impose an undue hardship on the Company, for 90 consecutive
days or for more than 120 days in any twelve month period.


 


“Equity
Awards” means all time-based stock option awards and time-based restricted stock awards granted to you by the Company (but
excluding any performance- or milestone-based stock options or restricted stock awards).


 


2.             The
following paragraph is added to the Employment Agreement on page 6 at the end of the Section entitled “Miscellaneous”:


 


Section 409A.
All payments and benefits under this Agreement are intended to either be exempt from or to comply with Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”)
and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement is to be interpreted in compliance therewith. To the extent that any
reimbursements under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, any such reimbursements will be paid to you no later than December 31
of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; provided, that you submit reimbursement requests promptly following
the date the expense is incurred, the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year will not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement
in any subsequent year, and your right to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit. Accordingly, should any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement be subject to Section 409A and be payable
upon your termination of employment, then such amounts will be payable only upon your “separation from service” with the
Company within the meaning of Section 409A. Additionally, if you are determined by the Company at the time of your separation from
service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion
of the benefits to which you are entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A,
such portion of your benefits will not be provided or payable prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period
measured from the date of your separation from service or (ii) the date of your death. Upon the first business day following the
expiration of the applicable Section 409A delay period in the prior sentence, then all payments so deferred will be paid to you
in a lump sum (or your estate or beneficiaries), and any remaining payments will be paid as otherwise provided herein. Finally, your
right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement, including without limitation any continuation salary payments that are
payable on the Company’s payroll dates, will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each
such installment payment will at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment as permitted under Section 409A.


 






    2


     


    

 


3.             Except
as specifically amended by this Amendment or as otherwise contemplated herein, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and
the Company and you hereby reaffirm all of the provisions of the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.


 


4.             You
acknowledge and agree that (i) each party has cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Amendment, and therefore, this
Amendment shall not be construed against either party on the basis that any particular party was the drafter; (ii) O’Melveny &
Myers LLP has served as counsel to the Company in connection with the drafting and negotiation of this Amendment and you have had the
opportunity to have legal and financial advisors of your own choosing advise you in connection with the negotiation and preparation of
this Amendment; and (iii) you have read and understand the terms of this Amendment and you are signing this Amendment voluntarily
and without duress.


 


5.             This
Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.


 


6.             The
Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver to you by email or any other electronic means any documents or notices related
to this Amendment, the Employment Agreement, securities of the Company or any other matter, including documents and/or notices required
to be delivered to you by applicable securities law or any other laws or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws.
You hereby consent to receive such documents and notices by such electronic delivery and agree to participate through any on-line or
electronic system that may be established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.


 


7.             Confidential
Information and Invention Assignment Agreement. Like all Company employees, you are required, as a condition of your employment
with the Company, to comply with the Company’s Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement that you previously
signed and which is attached hereto as Attachment A (which you acknowledge previous execution of by executing this Agreement) (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”).


 


8.             Arbitration.
As a material condition to your employment with the Company, you are required to sign the Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate Claims attached
hereto as Attachment B.

Employment Agreement are acceptable to you, please sign below and return this letter to me.

Effective
Date: March 1, 2019


 


As
a condition of my becoming employed (or my employment being continued) by Transfix, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation, or any of its current or future subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns (collectively, the “Company”),
and in consideration of my employment with the Company and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by the Company, I
agree to the following:

                                            This Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (this “Agreement”)
                                            will apply to my employment relationship with the Company. If that relationship ends and
                                            the Company, within a year thereafter, either reemploys me or engages me as a consultant, I

                                            unless the Company and I otherwise agree in writing. Any such employment or consulting relationship
                                            between the parties hereto, whether commenced prior to, upon or after the date of this Agreement,

                                            the Company from time to time or that are otherwise within the scope of the Relationship

                                            my entire best business efforts to the interests of the Company and will not engage in other
                                            employment or in any activities detrimental to the best interests of the Company without

    benefit of the Company to the extent necessary to perform my obligations to the Company under the Relationship, and not to disclose
    to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, without written authorization from the Company in each instance, any Confidential
    Information that I obtain, access or create during the term of the Relationship, whether or not during working hours, until such
    Confidential Information becomes publicly and widely known and made generally available through no wrongful act of mine or of others
    who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved. I further agree not to make copies of such Confidential

	6.	Termination Certification. In the
event of the termination of the Relationship, I agree to sign and deliver the “Termination Certification” attached
hereto as Exhibit B; however, my failure to sign and deliver the Termination Certification shall in no way diminish my continuing
obligations under this Agreement.



 


	7.	Notice to Third Parties. I agree
that during the periods of time during which I am restricted in taking certain actions by the terms of this Agreement (the “Restriction
Period”), I shall inform any entity or person with whom I may seek to enter into a business relationship (whether as an
owner, employee, independent contractor or otherwise) of my contractual obligations under this Agreement. I also understand and agree
that the Company may, with or without prior notice to me and during or after the term of the Relationship, notify third parties of my
agreements and obligations under this Agreement. I further agree that, upon written request by the Company, I will respond to the
Company in writing regarding the status of my employment or proposed employment with any party during the Restriction Period.



 






    -17- 


     


    

 	8.	Solicitation
of Employees, Consultants and Other Parties.  As described above, I
acknowledge and agree that the Company’s Confidential Information
includes information relating to the Company’s employees, consultants,
customers and others, and that I will not use or disclose such Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company. I further
agree as follows:




 	(a)	Employees,
Consultants. I agree that during the term of the Relationship, and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the
termination of the Relationship for any reason, whether with or without cause, I
shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s
employees or consultants to terminate their relationship with the Company, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take
away employees or consultants of the Company, either for myself or for any other person or entity.




 	(b)	Other
Parties.  I agree that during the term of the Relationship, I will not negatively influence any of the Company’s
clients, licensors, licensees or customers from purchasing Company products or services or solicit or influence or attempt to influence
any client, licensor, licensee, customer or other person either directly or indirectly, to direct any purchase of products and/or services
to any person, firm, corporation, institution or other entity in competition with the business of the Company.  In addition, I
acknowledge that the Company has valuable Trade Secrets (as defined by applicable law from time to time) to which I will have access
during the term of the Relationship.  I understand that the Company intends to vigorously pursue its rights under applicable
Trade Secrets law if, during a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of the Relationship for any reason,
whether with or without cause, I solicit or influence or attempt
to influence any client, licensor, licensee, customer or other person either directly or indirectly, to direct any purchase of products
and/or services to any person, firm, corporation, institution or other entity in competition with the business of the Company. Thereafter,
the Company intends to vigorously pursue its rights under applicable Trade Secrets law as the circumstances warrant.




 








    -18- 


     


    

 	9.	Covenant
Not to Compete.  As described above, I acknowledge and agree that the Company’s
Confidential Information includes information relating to the Company’s
employees, consultants, customers and others, and that I will not use or disclose such Confidential Information except as authorized by
the Company.  I further agree as follows:




 	(a)	I
agree that during the course of my Relationship, and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of my Relationship
for any reason, whether with or without cause, at the option either of the Company or myself, with or without notice, or twelve (12) months
from the date of any court order enforcing all or part of this Agreement, whichever is later, I
will not, either directly or indirectly, (i) act or agree to act
as an advisor, agent, consultant, director, employee, officer, partner, proprietor or otherwise of, (ii) own
or acquire any ownership interest in (except for passive ownership of one percent (1%) or less of any entity whose securities have been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 12
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or (iii) participate
in the organization, financing, operation, management or control of, any Competing Business (as defined below) in the Territory (A) as
conducted by the Company during
the course of my employment with the Company or (B) planned to be
conducted by the Company pursuant to a product or business plan developed prior to the termination of my employment with the Company.
“Territory” shall
mean (i) all counties in the State of New York, (ii) all
other states of the United States of America, (iii) the European
Union, (iv) Asia, and (v) all
other countries of the world in which the Company is then engaged in business. In particular, “Territory”
shall include such geographic areas in which (I) the
Company’s products and Relationships are then deployed, (II) the
Company then has a customer or (III) the Company then has operations
or otherwise targets sales and marketing activities or conducts or has plans to conduct business during the course of my employment.




 






    -19- 


     


    

 	 	“Competing
Business” is defined as any person, corporation, firm, or other
entity, and any of their parent, subsidiary or affiliated entities that (a) competes
directly or indirectly with Transfix for business in transportation management and/or third party logistics services, (b) any
business that develops and/or sells software solutions, hardware solution, or technology products to support fleet management, freight
management, or similar business activities, and/or (c) develops
real-time supply chain visibility and/or predictive analytics platforms for transportation supply chain management. For purposes of illustration
only, examples of category (a) include CH Robinson, Transplace, Convoy,
Uber Freight, Flexport, Loadsmart and Next Trucking, category (b) includes
FourKites and KeepTruckin, and category (c) includes Project44 and
MacroPoint.




 






    -20- 


     


    

 	(b)	I
acknowledge that my fulfillment of the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, my obligation neither
to use, except for the benefit of the Company, nor to disclose the Company’s
Confidential Information and my obligation not to compete contained in Section 9(a) above
is necessary to protect the Company’s Confidential Information and
to preserve the Company’s value and goodwill. I further acknowledge
the time, geographic and scope limitations of my obligations under Section 9(a)
above are reasonable, especially in light of the Company’s desire
to protect its Confidential Information, and that I will not be precluded from gainful employment if I am obligated not to compete
with the Company as described above.




 	(c)	The
covenants contained in Section 9(a) above
shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each city, county and state of any geographic area in the
Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in
Section 9(a). If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to
enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from
this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event
the provisions of Section 9(a) above
are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed
to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, then permitted by such law.




 






    -21- 


     


    

 	(d)	This
Agreement is understood to be clear and enforceable as written and is executed by both parties on that basis. However, should
I later challenge any provision as unclear, unenforceable, or inapplicable to
any competitive activity that I intend to engage in, I will
first notify the Company in writing and meet with a Company representative and a neutral mediator (if the Company elects to retain one
at its expense) to discuss resolution of any disputes between the parties. I will provide this notification at least fourteen (14) days
before I engage in any activity on behalf of a competitor of the Company or engage in other activity that could foreseeably fall within
a questioned restriction. The failure to comply with this requirement shall waive my right to challenge the reasonable scope, clarity,
applicability, or enforceability of the Agreement and its restrictions at a later time. All rights of both parties will be preserved if
this requirement is complied with even if no agreement is reached in the conference. I further agree that during the term
of the restrictions in this Section 9, I
shall promptly inform the Company in writing of the identity of any new employer, the job title of my new position and a description
of any Relationships to be rendered to that employer; and, if the new employer is a competitor of the Company, will communicate my obligations
under this Agreement to each new employer, which shall include providing each new employer with a copy of this Agreement.




 


	10.	At-Will Relationship.  I understand and acknowledge that, except as may be otherwise explicitly
provided in a separate written agreement between the Company and me, my Relationship with the Company is and shall continue to be at-will,
as defined under applicable law, meaning that either I or the Company may terminate the Relationship at any time for any reason or no reason, without further
obligation or liability, other than those provisions of this Agreement that explicitly continue in effect after the termination of the
Relationship.



 






    -22- 


     


    

 	11.	Representations and Covenants.






 	(a)	Facilitation of
                                    Agreement.  I agree to execute promptly, both during
                                    and after the end of the Relationship, any proper oath, and to verify any proper document, required to carry out the terms of this
                                    Agreement, upon the Company’s
                                    written request to do so.






 	(b)	No
Conflicts.  I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement does not and will not breach any agreement I have
entered into, or will enter into, with any third party, including without limitation any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary
information or materials acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to or during the Relationship. I will not disclose to the Company
or use any inventions, confidential or non-public proprietary information or material belonging to any previous client, employer or any
other party.  I will not induce the Company to use any inventions, confidential or non-public proprietary information, or material
belonging to any previous client, employer or any other party.  I acknowledge and agree that I have listed on Exhibit A
all agreements (e.g., non-competition agreements, non-solicitation of customers agreements, non-solicitation of employees agreements,
confidentiality agreements, inventions agreements, etc.), if any,
with a current or former client, employer, or any other person or entity, that may restrict my ability to accept employment with the Company
or my ability to recruit or engage customers or service providers on behalf of the Company, or otherwise relate to or restrict
my ability to perform my duties for the Company or any obligation I may have to the Company. I agree not to enter into any written or
oral agreement that conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement.






 






    -23- 


     


    

 	(c)	Voluntary
Execution.  I certify and acknowledge that I have carefully read all of the provisions of this Agreement, that I understand
and have voluntarily accepted such provisions, and that I will fully and faithfully comply with such provisions.




 


	12.	Electronic Delivery. Nothing herein is intended to imply a right to participate in any
of the Company’s equity incentive plans, however, if I do participate in such plan(s), the Company may, in its sole discretion,
decide to deliver any documents related to my participation in the Company’s equity incentive plan(s) by electronic means or
to request my consent to participate in such plan(s) by electronic means. I hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic
delivery and agree, if applicable, to participate in such plan(s) through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained
by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.



 


	13.	Miscellaneous.



 	(a)	Governing
Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement, and all acts and transactions pursuant
hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of
the state of New York.




 






    -24- 


     


    

 	(b)	Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to its
subject matter and merges all prior discussions between us. No amendment to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing signed
by both parties to this Agreement. The Company shall not be deemed hereby to have waived any rights or remedies it may have in law or
equity, nor to have given any authorizations or waived any of its rights under this Agreement, unless, and only to the extent, it does
so by a specific writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, it being understood that, even if I am an officer of the
Company, I will not have authority to give any such authorizations
or waivers for the Company under this Agreement without specific approval by the Board of Directors. Any subsequent change or changes
in my duties, obligations, rights or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.




 	(c)	Successors
and Assigns.  This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives, and
my successors and assigns, and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns.




 	(d)	Notices.
 Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
sufficient when delivered personally or by overnight courier or sent by email, or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail as
certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, addressed to the party to
be notified at such party’s address as set forth on the signature
page, as subsequently modified by written notice, or if no address is specified on the signature page, at the most recent address set
forth in the Company’s books and records.




 






    -25- 


     


    











 


		(e)	Severability.
If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed void or unenforceable to any extent in any context, such provisions
shall nevertheless be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law in that and other contexts, and the validity and force of the remainder
of this Agreement shall not be affected. The Company and I have attempted to limit my right to use, maintain
and disclose the Company’s Confidential Information, and to limit
my right to solicit employees and customers only to the extent necessary to protect the Company from unfair competition. Should a court
of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of the covenants contained
in Section 8 and Section 9
exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems reasonable and enforceable, the parties intend that the court should reform,
modify and enforce the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable under the circumstances existing
at that time.



 


		(f)	Remedies.
I acknowledge and agree that violation of this Agreement by me may cause the Company irreparable harm, and there- fore I agree
that the Company will be entitled to seek extraordinary relief in court, including, but not limited to, temporary re- straining orders,
preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions without the necessity of posting a bond or other security (or, where such a bond or
security is required, I agree that a $1,000 bond will be adequate),
in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this Agreement.



 



    -26-


     


    










 


		(g)	Advice
of Counsel.  I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, I
HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS
OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF.





 


		(h)	Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original,
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

ATTACHMENT B


 


MUTUAL AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS


 






     


     


    







 


Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate Claims


 


I recognize that disputes may arise
between Transfix, Inc. (“the Company”) and me during or following my employment with the Company. This Mutual
Agreement to Arbitrate Claims (“Agreement”) provides for an impartial procedure to resolve any disputes between the
Company and me. In consideration of my ongoing employment with the Company, as well as the compensation, bonuses and equity awards
that I will or may be eligible to receive as a result of such employment, the Company and I hereby agree to the following terms and
conditions of this Agreement.


 


Claims Covered by this Agreement


 


The Company and I mutually
consent to the resolution by final and binding arbitration of all claims or controversies (collectively “claims”), whether
or not arising out of my employment or the termination of employment with the Company, that the Company may have against me or that I
may have against the Company or against its parent, subsidiary or affiliated companies, or any of their respected employees, directors,
officers, agents, benefit plans and plan sponsors. The claims covered by this Agreement include, but are not limited to, claims for wages,
overtime pay, bonus, commissions, meal or rest breaks, vacation, expenses, penalties, or other compensation due; claims for breach of
any contract (express or implied); tort claims; claims for wrongful termination, retaliation, fraud or defamation; claims for discrimination
or harassment (including, but not limited to, on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, age, marital status, handicap, disability,
medical condition, gender expression, veteran status, pregnancy or sexual orientation); claims for benefits (except where an employee
benefit or pension plan specifies that its claims procedure shall culminate in an arbitration procedure different from this one); and
claims for violation of any federal, state, or other governmental law, statute, regulation, constitution or ordinance. The parties intend
that the claims to be arbitrated be construed as broadly as possible.


 


Claims Not Covered by the Agreement


 


Claims I may have for workers'
compensation or unemployment compensation benefits, claims that could be made to the National Labor Relations Board, or any other dispute
which as expressly provided by law may not be submitted to arbitration, are not covered by this Agreement. In addition, either party may
file an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other provisional equitable
relief to ensure that the relief sought in arbitration is not rendered ineffectual by interim harm. The Company and I also further agree
that any disputes


 


Written notice to the Company
shall be sent to Transfix, Inc. at 7 498 7th Ave 19th Floor New York, NY 10018. I will be given written notice at the last address
recorded in my personnel file.


 


Arbitration Procedures


 


The Company and I agree that,
except as provided in this Agreement, any arbitration shall be in accordance with the then current JAMS employment arbitration rules of
procedures (“JAMS”) (which are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment)
before an impartial Arbitrator to be mutually selected by the parties from the JAMS panel of neutral arbitrators with employment law experience
who conduct arbitrations in the state in which the arbitration is convened (the “Arbitrator”). The arbitration shall take
place in or near the city in which I am or was last employed by the Company.


 


The Arbitrator shall apply
the substantive law of the state in which the claim arose, or federal law, or both, as applicable to the claim(s) asserted. The Federal
Rules of Evidence shall apply. The Arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding upon the parties.


 


The Arbitrator shall have
jurisdiction to hear and rule on pre-hearing disputes and is authorized to hold pre-hearing conferences by telephone or in person
as the Arbitrator deems necessary. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss, motion to strike and/or a
motion for summary judgment by either party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. However, any issues regarding the scope or validity of any provisions of this Agreement shall be decided by a court of competent
jurisdiction and not the Arbitrator.


 


Either party, at its expense,
may arrange for and pay the cost of a court reporter to provide a stenographic record of the proceedings.


 






     1


     


    







 


regarding the scope or validity of any terms of this Agreement,
including the Class Action Waiver (as defined below), may only be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by the
Arbitrator.


 


No Class Claims


 


All claims that are
covered by this Agreement can only be brought by me or the Company on an individual basis. The Company and I agree to waive any
right to make any claims on a representative or class basis to the fullest extent permitted by law (the “Class Action
Waiver”). However, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the arbitrator from joining or consolidating individual claims brought
by other parties to the extent permitted by Rules 19-21 and 42 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.


 


Opt-Out For Sexual Harassment and/or Sexual
Assault Claims


 


I understand that I have the option to pursue
a claim of sexual harassment or sexual assault (an “excluded claim”) either in an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this
Agreement or in a court of competent jurisdiction, which election must be made at the time of filing any such legal proceeding; provided,
however, that any other claim I may have must be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to this Agreement and will be decided separate
from the excluded claims to the extent I pursue excluded claims in a court proceeding.


 


Grievances, Required Notice and Statute of
Limitations


 


If either I or the Company
assert a claim that is covered by this Agreement, either may demand arbitration. The Company and I agree that the party asserting a claim
must give written notice of any such claim to the other party and demand arbitration within the statute of limitations proscribed by law
for that claim.


 


The written notice must identify and describe
the nature of all claims asserted and the facts upon which such claims are based. The notice shall be personally delivered to the other
party or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.


 


Discovery


 


In such arbitration, the
parties may conduct discovery to the same extent as would be permitted in a court of law.


 


Designation of Witnesses


 


At least 30 days before the
arbitration, the parties must exchange lists of witnesses, including any expert,


 


Either party, upon request
at the close of hearing, shall be given leave to file a post-hearing brief. The time for filing such a brief shall be set by the Arbitrator.
The Arbitrator shall render a written award and opinion.


 


Except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, both the Company and I agree that neither of us shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or administrative action on
an individual or class basis which is in any way related to any claim covered by this Agreement. In no event shall the Arbitrator have
authority to arbitrate any class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action.


 


Representation


 


Either party may be represented
by an attorney in the arbitration.


 


Requirements for Modification or Revocation


 


This Agreement to arbitrate
shall survive the termination of my employment. The Agreement can only be revoked or modified by a writing signed by both me and an authorized
officer of the Company that specifically states an intent to revoke or modify this Agreement.


 


Sole and Entire Agreement


 


This is the complete agreement
of the parties on the subject of arbitration of disputes (except for any arbitration agreement in connection with any pension or benefit
plan). This Agreement supersedes any prior or contemporaneous oral or written understanding on the subject. No party is relying on any
representations, oral or written, on the subject of the effect, enforceability, or meaning of this Agreement, except as specifically set
forth in this Agreement.


 


Construction


 


If any provision of this
Agreement is determined to be void or otherwise unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the
Agreement.


 


Consideration


 


The mutual promises by the
Company and me to arbitrate claims, as well as my employment or continued employment with the Company provide adequate consideration for
this Agreement.


 


Not an Employment Agreement


 


This Agreement is not a
contract of employment, express or implied, and does not alter the “at-will” status of my employment. This means that
either I or and copies of all exhibits intended to be used
at the arbitration.


 






     2


     


    













 


Subpoenas


 


Each party shall have the
right to subpoena witnesses and documents for the arbitration.


 


Arbitration Fees and Costs
