III.         AGREEMENT


 


1.          Review
of Agreement and Revocation Period. Robeson acknowledges that he may take up to twenty-one (21) days to consider this
Agreement after the Effective Date. The Company hereby advises Robeson to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement.
Robeson further acknowledges that he understands that he may revoke this Agreement within the seven (7) days following the date
he signs this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”), by e-mailing a written revocation to Katy Theroux
at Katy.Theroux@ncigroup.com. Robeson further understands that this Agreement will not become effective or enforceable
until the Revocation Period has expired. Robeson understands that this Agreement will be irrevocable after seven (7) days have
passed following the date he signs the Agreement, unless it is revoked during the Revocation Period. By entering into this Agreement,
Robeson confirms that he has no disagreement with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates on any matter relating to any
of their operations, policies or practices and no knowledge of any failure of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates or

requirement applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates.


 


2.          Employment
and Consulting Positions. 


 


a.           As
of the Effective Date and ending on July 13, 2015 (the “Termination Date”), Robeson shall be employed
as a Special Advisor to the Company and shall report directly to Don Riley (“Riley”), the Company’s
President of Group Business Segments. Robeson understands and agrees that at no time between
the Effective Date and the Termination Date will he contact or communicate with, directly or indirectly, any customer, prospective
customer or former customer of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including but not limited to individual sales persons,
and/or sales representatives of such customers, prospective customers or former customers without written notice from Mr. Riley
or other executive officer designated by the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended nor
shall it be construed to prohibit Robeson from contacting, communicating or maintaining personal relationships or friendships
with individuals who may be a past or current customer or vendor of the Company. Effective as of 11:59 p.m. on the Termination
Date, Robeson shall cease to be an employee of the Company and any of its subsidiaries. All service from the Effective Date through
the Termination Date shall constitute “Continuous Service” as that term is defined in the Stock Agreements
unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement. Robeson agrees that, as requested by the Company from time to time, he will
execute such other documents as may be necessary to evidence the resignations covered by the Agreement.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


b.           Following
the Termination Date, Robeson shall continue to provide consulting services to the Company from time to time as requested by the
Company (the “Consulting Services”).  Any required Consulting Services shall be performed at the
request of and under the direction of Don Riley or his designee and may relate to any of the following:  (1) assistance on
ongoing matters of which Robeson had knowledge while employed, (2) the transition of Robeson’s duties to other employees
and (3) general consulting as to business knowledge and business developments within the scope of Robeson’s duties while
employed.  The Consulting Services shall be provided on a non-exclusive basis and shall be structured so as to accommodate
the needs of any future employer and/or Robeson’s personal commitments.  In no event is it expected that the Consulting
Services will require, in the aggregate, more than 20 hours of service per calendar month.  No fee shall be paid to Robeson
for the Consulting Services, but the Consulting Services will form part of the “Continuous Service”
of Robeson under the Stock Agreements.  Robeson will be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
the provision of the Consulting Services, but shall obtain prior approval of the Company if expenses are expected to exceed $100
in any calendar month. Robeson’s obligation to perform the Consulting Services shall terminate upon thirty (30) days’
notice by either party to the other.


 


3.          Salary
and Benefits. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3 or in Section 4, Robeson shall be entitled to the consideration
set forth below during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Termination Date.


 


a.           Salary
Prior to the Termination Date. From the Effective Date through the Termination Date, Robeson shall continue to receive his
base salary in effect as of the Effective Date, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices.


 


b.           FY2015
Cash Bonus.         For fiscal year 2015, Robeson will be eligible to receive
a pro-rata bonus under the Company’s Cash Bonus Program (based upon his target annual bonus percentage as of the date prior
to the Effective Date) for the period beginning as of the fiscal year start through the Termination Date. The actual amount of
the cash bonus payment to be awarded to Robeson under this provision shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s
attainment of the applicable performance metrics for fiscal 2015 as provided in the Company’s Bonus Program.


 


c.           Future
Stock Awards.         Robeson shall not be eligible for any additional cash or
restricted stock awards under the Stock Agreements or any other long-term incentive awards from and after the Effective Date.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


c.           Benefits.         From
the Effective Date through the Termination Date, Robeson shall remain eligible to participate in the group health and medical
benefit programs that are generally made available to active employees of the Company at the applicable active employee premium
rate. Following the Termination Date, Robeson and/or any eligible dependents may continue to participate in the group health and
medical benefit programs of the Company pursuant to, and subject to, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
(“COBRA”). During the period Robeson is eligible for and elects to receive, COBRA, the Company shall
reimburse Robeson the difference between the COBRA rate and the active employee rate on an after-tax basis, as a benefit-in-lieu-of-COBRA
(and Robeson shall be responsible for any income and employment taxes on such reimbursement).


 


d.           Other
Benefits.         Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, from and
after the Termination Date, Robeson shall not be eligible to participate in, and if applicable, shall waive his right to participate
in, long- or short-term disability plans, employee benefit plans or programs including, without limitation 401(k), retirement,
profit-sharing, bonus, deferred compensation plan, severance or any other plan or program made available to employees of the Company
and its affiliates. The foregoing notwithstanding, Robeson shall be entitled to any benefits earned or vested as of the Termination
Date under the Company’s 401(k), retirement, profit sharing, or other plan or program made available to employees of the
Company and its affiliates, and such benefits shall be determined and paid in accordance with the terms of such plans. As of the
Effective Date, Robeson shall no longer be eligible to accrue vacation or sick days, and Robeson shall be eligible for payment
of one hundred percent (100%) of accrued and unused vacation and sick days, if any, through the Effective Date, payable as soon
as practicable after that date in accordance with the Company’s practices and policies or as otherwise required by applicable
law.


 


e.           Reimbursement
of Expenses.         The Company will reimburse Robeson for reasonable and necessary
travel and other business expenses incurred by him in the fulfillment of his duties as Special Advisor hereunder upon presentation
by Robeson of an itemized account of such expenditures, in accordance with Company practices and policies.


 


f.            Outplacement
Services. As additional consideration for signing this Agreement, the Company agrees to provide Robeson with outplacement
counseling services through a firm selected by the Company for a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Date. The
outplacement counseling benefits and limitations will be explained in a separate document.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


g.           Restrictions
on Sale of Common Stock. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or in the non-qualified stock option awards, Robeson
agrees that he shall comply with the Company’s policies regarding the obligations and restrictions imposed on directors
and officers of the Company by Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”)
and related SEC rules. Robeson further acknowledges that he is aware of the Company’s policies related to Section 16 officers
and he agrees to provide advance written notice to the Company of his intention to acquire, sell or otherwise enter into any transaction
involving the Company’s stock (including without limitation option exercises and non-open market transactions). Robeson
agrees to assist the Company in the timely filing of securities filings (in no case more than two (2) days following the transaction).
Robeson further acknowledges that he will comply with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act regarding “short-swing” transactions.
The Parties understand and acknowledge that the provisions of this paragraph 3(g) of this Agreement shall remain in effect until
the later to occur of (i) September 9, 2015 or (ii) the first business day following the six month anniversary of the date Robeson
ceases to be an “officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.


 


4.          Separation
Payment. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Robeson shall be paid a one-time separation payment of Three
Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($310,000.00) (less applicable governmental withholding and deductions) (the “Payment”).
The Payment will be made in two (2) installments as provided below. A first installment of 50% of the Payment will be made within
ten (10) days after all of the following events have occurred: (i) the expiration of the Revocation Period described in this Agreement
in Section 2; (ii) Robeson’s return of this original Agreement, executed by Robeson; and (iii) the occurrence of the Termination
Date. A second and final installment of 50% of the Payment shall be paid to Robeson on the first anniversary of the Termination
Date. Robeson understands that to receive these installments of the Payment, he must execute this Agreement, not revoke it during
the Revocation Period and comply with all provisions of this Agreement. Additionally, Robeson’s right to the Payment specified
in this Section 4 is expressly conditioned upon his execution of a new release and certificate of compliance of this Agreement
by signing and delivering the letter attached as Exhibit A to the Company prior to receipt of each Payment.


 


5.          The
Unvested Shares, Unvested 2012 PSU’s and Unvested 2014 PSU’s.


 


(a)          Robeson
understands and agrees that the Unvested Shares would normally be forfeited in accordance with the terms of the Stock Agreements
upon his separation from the Company. However, in consideration of Robeson’s agreements, representations and covenants contained
in this Agreement and subject to his compliance therewith, Robeson will become vested in all of the Unvested Shares as of the
Termination Date. Notwithstanding Robeson’s separation due to the elimination of his position,
his separation from service as provided herein shall be treated as a termination without cause.


 


(b)          It
is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that the vesting of the 2012 PSU Award will be in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the 2012 PSU Award Agreement.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


(c)          It
is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that all of the Unvested 2014 Restricted Stock and Performance Share Award are
hereby forfeited effective as of the Effective Date.


 


(d)          In
the event of a breach of the Agreement by Robeson, he agrees that he will (1) automatically forfeit all of the Unvested Shares
to the extent then unvested, and (2) except as otherwise modified by this Agreement, be subject to the forfeiture provisions as
set forth in the 2012 PSU Award agreement and the Stock Agreements. The Parties understand and acknowledge that the Company’s
right to demand and enforce the return of any shares of Common Stock received upon vesting and/or exercise of the Unvested Shares
following the Effective Date and/or upon vesting of the 2012 PSU Award (including the value thereof to the extent such shares
have been sold) shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedy in the event of Robeson’s breach of this
Agreement.


 


6.          Restrictive
Covenants.         In consideration of the Company’s agreements, representations
and covenants contained in this Agreement, including but not limited to the Payment and the Unvested Shares, Robeson agrees to
the restrictive covenants set forth below:


 


a.           Non-Competition.         From
the Termination Date and for the period ending three (3) years following the Termination Date, Robeson shall not, directly
or indirectly and whether on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association, corporation or other entity,
engage in or be an owner, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or other representative of or for, or lend money or equipment
to or otherwise support, any business that manufactures, engineers, markets, sells or provides, within a two hundred and fifty
(250) mile radius of any then existing facility (including without limitation sales offices, manufacturing facilities, or engineering
and/or drafting offices) of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, metal building systems or components (including,
without limitation, primary and secondary framing systems, roofing systems, end or side wall panels, sectional or roll-up doors,
insulated metal panels or other metal components of a building structure), coated or painted steel or metal coils, coil coating
or coil painting services, or any other products or services that are the same as or similar to those manufactured, engineered,
marketed, sold or provided by the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates prior to the Transition Date. Ownership by Robeson
of equity securities of the Company, or of equity securities in other public or privately-owned companies that compete with the
Company constituting less than 1% of the voting securities in such companies, shall not be deemed to be a breach of this covenant.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


b.           Non-Solicitation.         From
the Transition Date and for the period ending three (3) years following the Termination Date, Robeson shall not, directly
or indirectly and whether on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association, corporation or other entity,
either: (i) hire, seek to hire or solicit the employment or service of any employee, agent or consultant of the Company or
its subsidiaries and affiliates in a commercial capacity; (ii) in any manner attempt to influence or induce any employee,
agent or consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates to leave the employment or service of the Company or its
subsidiaries and affiliates; (iii) use or disclose to any person, partnership, association, corporation or other entity any
information concerning the names and addresses of any employees, agents or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries and
affiliates unless such use or disclosure is of a personal nature, is requested by the Company or is required by law; or (iv) call
upon, solicit, divert or attempt to call upon, solicit or divert the business of any customer, vendor or acquisition prospect
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates with whom the Company dealt, directly or indirectly, during his employment
with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates.


 


c.           Confidential
Information. Robeson acknowledges and agrees that he was provided with Confidential Information of the Company during his
employment. Robeson also acknowledges and agrees that he will not use, disclose, or disseminate, directly or indirectly, the Company’s
Confidential Information. Robeson also agrees that he will immediately (within twenty-four (24) hours) of the Termination Date
return to the Company all materials (and all copies thereof) created, received or utilized in any way in conjunction with Robeson’
work performed with the Company, including, but not limited to materials that in any way incorporate, reflect or constitute the
Company’s Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, documents, training materials, notebooks, USB drives,
disks, computer software, hard drives, data, reference materials, drawings, memoranda, correspondence, client lists and information,
leads and records. Robeson agrees that, upon his receipt of any subpoena, process or other request to produce or divulge, directly
or indirectly, any Confidential Information of the Company to any entity, agency, tribunal or person, he shall timely notify the
Company in accordance with the notice procedures in Section 13 of this Agreement and promptly deliver a copy of the subpoena and/or
process to the Company. Robeson further irrevocably nominates and appoints the Company (including any attorney retained by the
Company), as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to act in his name, place and stead to perform any act that he might perform
to defend and protect against any disclosure of any Confidential Information.


 


d.           Non-Disparagement.
To the extent permitted by the law, Robeson agrees to refrain from any criticisms or disparaging comments about the Company
or any affiliates (including any current officer, director or employee of the Company), and Robeson agrees not to take any action,
or assist any person in taking any other action, that is adverse to the interests of the Company or any affiliate or inconsistent
with fostering the goodwill of the Company and its affiliates; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement
shall apply to or restrict in any way the communication of information by the Company or Robeson to any state or federal law enforcement,
regulatory or judicial agency or official or to the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company or require notice to
the Company thereof, and Robeson will not be in breach of the covenant contained above solely by reason of testimony which is
compelled by process of law. Nothing in this paragraph or elsewhere in this Agreement restricts, or is intended to restrict, any
rights of Robeson that cannot be lawfully waived.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


e.           Interference.
Robeson hereby agrees that he will not wrongfully interfere with the Company’s relationship with any person or entity,
including any person or entity that was an employee, contractor or client of the Company at any time during the four (4) year
period immediately preceding the Termination Date.


 


f.            Enforcement.
Robeson hereby agrees that a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 6 would cause irreparable injury to the
Company and its affiliates, for which they would have no adequate remedy at law. If Robeson breaches or threatens to breach any
of the covenants set forth in this Section 6, then without regard for any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Company shall have the right to injunctive or other equitable relief from a court having jurisdiction for any actual breach of
this Section 6. Any such injunctive relief shall be in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled
to at law, in equity or otherwise. Such injunctive or other equitable relief shall be available without the obligation to prove
any damages underlying such breach or threatened breach. Each party agrees not to raise as a defense or objection to the request
or granting of such relief that any breach of this Agreement is or would be compensable by an award of money damages and Robeson
further agrees to waive (and to use reasonable efforts to cause all of their Representative to waive) any requirement for the
securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or
other security in connection with any such remedy. No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


g.            Standstill.         Robeson
agrees that during his employment with the Company and for the period ending four (4) years after the Termination Date, he shall
not, directly or indirectly (including through anyone acting on his behalf or with whom he is associated), without the prior written
consent of the Company’s Board of Directors: (i) acquire, offer, propose or seek to acquire, or agree to acquire, by purchase
or otherwise, any securities or assets of the Company, or direct or indirect rights to acquire securities or assets of the Company
exceeding one percent (1%) of the then outstanding securities or assets of the Company; (ii) make, or in any way participate,
in any “solicitation” of “proxies” or consents to vote (as such terms are used in the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission), or otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board
of Directors or policies of the Company; (iii) make any public announcement with respect to, or offers of, (with or without conditions)
any Extraordinary Transaction involving the Company or any of its securities or assets, or otherwise take any actions, other than
submitting to the Company a confidential written offer or proposal, which might force the Company to make a public announcement
regarding such matters; (iv) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with any of the foregoing; or (v) request the Company to amend or waive
any provision of this paragraph; provided, however, (A) this subparagraph shall not apply to the acquisition by
Robeson of any securities of the Company directly from the Company, whether pursuant to the exercise of options or vesting of
restricted stock or otherwise; (B) this subparagraph shall terminate and the restrictions contained herein shall cease to apply
to Robeson upon the earliest to occur of any of the following with respect to the Company: (x) the Company enters into a definitive
agreement with respect to an Extraordinary Transaction, (y) any person makes an unsolicited public offer for an Extraordinary
Transaction for the Company, or (z) a Change in Control of the Company. “Extraordinary Transaction,”
as used herein, means any acquisition of a significant amount of securities or assets of the Company or any of its affiliates,
including in connection with any extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, recapitalization, tender or exchange
offer, or asset disposition involving the Company or any of its affiliates that, if consummated, such acquisition, transaction,
merger, reorganization, recapitalization, tender or exchange offer, or asset disposition would result in a Change in Control of
the Company. “Change in Control,” as used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Stock
Agreements.


 


Robeson acknowledges
that the restrictive covenants in Section 6 of this Agreement are reasonable and reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate
business interest of the Company, whose business is highly specialized.


 


The Parties intend and agree that the
restrictive covenants contained in this Section shall supersede and replace the restrictive covenants in Section 10 of the Stock
Agreements (Covenants of Grantee), but only to the extent that the restrictive covenants contained herein conflict with Section
10 of the Stock Agreements. Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement, all other provisions of the Stock Agreements will remain
in full force and effect.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


The Parties hereto intend all provisions
of subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 6 to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Accordingly,
should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e),(f)
and (g) of this Section 6 are too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the court may reform the provision
to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable. In addition, however, Robeson agrees and stipulates
that the non-competition agreements, non-solicitation agreements, non-disclosure, non-disparagement, interference and enforcement
agreements (set forth above in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of Section 6 of this Agreement, respectively)
each constitute separate agreements independently supported by good and adequate consideration and shall survive this Agreement.
The existence of any claim or cause of action of Robeson against the Company, except for a breach of this Agreement by the Company
or its subsidiaries, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements of Robeson
contained in the non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, non-disparagement, interference and enforcement agreements
(set forth above in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e),(f) and (g) of Section 6 of this Agreement, respectively).


 


If Robeson’s service relationship
with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below), upon his death or if Robeson or the Company terminates
Robeson’s services due to Disability (“Disability,” as used herein, shall have the meaning ascribed
to it in the Stock Agreements), Robeson shall continue to receive the salary and/or consulting payments provided under Sections
3(a) and 4 hereof, to the extent applicable and as provided therein, as if he had remained an employee or consultant, as applicable,
through the Termination Date. In the event of Robeson’s death under this section, Robeson’ estate and/or designated
beneficiaries, if any, shall be entitled to receive continued salary or consulting payments as provided in Sections 3(a) and 4
through the period ending on the Termination Date. In addition, upon Robeson’s death or Disability, the Unvested Shares
shall immediately vest to the extent provided in the Stock Agreements.


 


If Robeson’ service relationship
with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) or if Robeson voluntarily terminates the service relationship
hereunder for any reason other than Disability, the Company’s obligation to make the Payment or provide the benefits listed
in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement shall immediately terminate as of the date of his termination except to the extent that
such payment(s) or benefit(s) are earned as of such date and Robeson’s service relationship shall immediately terminate
and any Unvested Shares shall immediately be forfeited. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall
mean: (i) Robeson’s failure to perform his duties and other obligations under this Agreement and such failure continues
for a period of ten (10) days after written notice by the Company of the existence of such failure; provided, however,
that only one such notice by the Company need be sent and, if such failure re-occurs thereafter, no further notice and opportunity
to cure such failure shall be required; (ii) the engaging by Robeson in misconduct injurious to the Company, as reasonably
determined by the Company; (iii) Robeson’ conviction for committing an act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or other act constituting

extent as such policies are applicable to executive officers of the Company including, without limitation, “blackout”

16.         Severability
and Interpretation.          If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or part, such invalidity will not affect any otherwise valid provision, and all
other valid provisions will remain in full force and effect. The fact that counsel for any one of the Parties drafted this Agreement
shall not be material to the construction of this Agreement.


 


17.         Counterparts.         This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together will
constitute one document.


 


18.         Titles.
The titles and headings preceding the text of the paragraphs and subparagraphs of this Agreement have been inserted solely
for convenience of reference and do not constitute a part of this Agreement or affect its meaning, interpretation or effect.

Law. This Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.


 


20.         Mandatory
Venue and Jurisdiction.         The Parties
agree that this Agreement has been executed in Harris County, Texas and is fully performable in Harris County, Texas. The Parties
consent to personal jurisdiction in the State of Texas as part of this Agreement and agree that mandatory venue for any disputes,
lawsuits, actions and/or proceedings arising from or related in any way to this Agreement is in state and/or federal court in
Harris County, Texas. 


 


21.         Alternative
Dispute Resolution.          If a dispute arises out of or related to this
Agreement, and if the dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions, the aggrieved party shall by written notice demand
that the dispute be submitted to non-binding mediation. Robeson and the Company hereby agree to endeavor to settle the dispute
in an amicable manner by participating in non-binding mediation held in Houston, Texas before a mediator jointly selected by the
parties, before either party seeks recourse in any other proceeding or forum. The parties agree to make a good faith attempt to
resolve the dispute through mediation within fourteen (14) days after the written demand for mediation is received by the non-aggrieved
party. The provisions of this Section in no way restrict the right of the Company to immediately seek to enforce any of the restrictive
covenants provided for in Section 6 of this Agreement in a court in Harris County, Texas, or to otherwise protect the Company
from immediate and irreparable harm.


 


22.         Entire
Agreement.         This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations, negotiations,
discussions or arrangements, either oral or written, except for the surviving terms of the Stock Agreements that do not conflict
with this Agreement, as provided in Sections 5 and 7 of this Agreement. None of the Parties have relied on any statements or representations
that have been made by any other Party that are not set forth in this Agreement, and no party is entitled to rely on any representation,
agreement or obligation to disclose information that is not expressly stated in this Agreement.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


23.         Section
409A.           This Agreement is intended to comply with Section
409A of the United States Tax Code and any ambiguous provision will be construed in a manner that is compliant with or exempt
from the application of Section 409A. It is the intent of the Parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement avoid the imposition
of the excise tax under Section 409A, therefore, the Company, in its discretion, may amend this Agreement to the extent necessary
to avoid or minimize the excise tax under Section 409A and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely
affect Robeson’ rights under this Agreement.


 


24.         Confidentiality.         To
the full extent permitted by law, Robeson agrees to keep this Agreement, all terms of this Agreement, and all negotiations leading
up to this Agreement strictly and completely confidential at all times. The confidentiality obligations in this Section are a
material term of this Agreement. The obligations of this Section do not prevent Robeson from stating in response to an inquiry
from a third party that this matter "was amicably settled by agreement." Nothing in this Section shall prevent
Robeson from disclosing the terms of this Agreement to his legal or financial advisors or as required by law. If this Agreement
is requested by a third party as part of a subpoena or other discovery process, Robeson agrees to provide prompt notice of such
a request to the Company and to reasonably cooperate with the Company in seeking protection from any such subpoena or request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereto understand and acknowledge that nothing in this paragraph or this Agreement
shall prohibit the Company from disclosing the existence of this Agreement (including providing a copy or summary thereof) to
the extent that it is required under applicable laws.


 


25.         Cooperation.
