W I T N E S S E T H:


 


WHEREAS, the
Executive desires to be employed by the Company as Chief Executive Officer and the Company wishes to employ the Executive in such capacity;
and


 


NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing and their respective covenants and agreements contained in this document the Company and the Executive
hereby agree as follows:


 


1.                  
Employment and Duties. The Company agrees to employ and the Executive agrees to serve as the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The duties and responsibilities of the Executive shall include the duties and responsibilities
as the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) may from time to time assign to the Executive and reasonably commensurate
with those duties and responsibilities normally associated with and appropriate for someone in the position of Chief Executive Officer.
As used herein, “Board” and “Compensation Committee” shall include the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee
of the Company.


 


The Executive
shall devote all of his business time and best efforts to the performance of his duties under this Agreement and shall be subject to,
and shall comply with the Company policies, practices and procedures and all codes of ethics or business conduct applicable to his position,
as in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be entitled to (i) serve as a member of the board of
directors of a reasonable number of companies, subject to the advance approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed; (ii) serve on civic, charitable, educational, religious, public interest or public service boards, subject
to the advance approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) manage the Executive’s personal
and family investments, in each case, to the extent such activities do not materially interfere, as determined by the Board in good faith,
with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.


 


2.                  
Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for
a period of one (1) year following the Effective Date and shall be automatically renewed for successive one (1) year periods thereafter
unless either party provides the other party with written notice of his or its intention not to renew this Agreement at least three (3)
months prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term of this Agreement. “Employment Period” shall
mean the initial one (1) year term plus renewals, if any.


 


3.                  
Place of Employment. The Executive’s services shall be performed at the Company’s
offices located at 370 Harbour Drive, Palmas del Mar, Humacao, Puerto Rico 00791 or such other
location(s) as mutually agreed upon in writing between the Company and the Executive.


 


4.               
Base Salary. The Company agrees to pay the Executive a base salary (“Base Salary”)
equal to $248,000 per annum. The Base Salary shall be paid in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll
practices. The Base Salary may only be increased, but not decreased without the written consent of the Executive. At the option of Executive
in any fiscal year of the Company in which: A) at any time market cap is at least $500,000,000; and B) traded price per share is at least
$6.00 per share stock price on a national securities exchange for 60 consecutive days (the “Incentive Criteria”), Executive
may elect to receive all or any portion of Base Salary for a subsequent period in shares of Common Stock valued at the thirty-day VWAP
for each pay period for which the election is applicable.


 


5.               
Annual Bonus/Target Incentive Bonuses. 


 






(a) Bonuses. The Executive shall
be eligible to receive an annual bonus the (“Annual Bonus”) of up to two-hundred (200%) percent of the Base Salary,
to be paid in cash, as reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee and/or the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation
Committee”). Executive and the Compensation Committee will work to define a set of goals and objectives for the term of the
Agreement as a basis for determining a bonus award(s). Such goals will be quantitative as well as qualitative in nature. The Annual Bonus
shall be paid by the Company to the Executive promptly after determination that the relevant targets,
if any, have been met, it being understood that the attainment of any financial targets associated with
any bonus shall not be determined until following the completion of the Company’s annual audit and public announcement of such
results and shall be paid promptly following the Company’s announcement of earnings, subject to cash availability. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the full Annual Bonus upon achieving the Incentive Criteria during the prior
fiscal year and thereupon Executive may elect to receive all or any portion of Annual Bonus for a prior period in shares of Common Stock
valued at the thirty-day VWAP on the date set for payment of the Annual Bonus by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee
for which the election is applicable.


 


In the event that the Compensation Committee
is unable to act or if there shall be no such Compensation Committee, then all references herein to the Compensation Committee (except
in the proviso to this sentence) shall be deemed to be references to the Board. Upon termination from employment, the Executive shall
be entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of the Annual Bonus calculated based upon the last day of the fiscal quarter in which his employment
is terminated, regardless of whether he is employed by the Company through the conclusion of the fiscal quarter or year, as the case may
be, on which the Annual Bonus is based.


 


(b) Equity
Awards. Executive shall receive an initial award (the “Initial Award”) and be eligible for such grants of awards
under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (or any successor or replacement plan adopted by the Board and approved by the stockholders
of the Company) (the “Plan”) as the Compensation Committee or Board may from time to time determine (the “Share
Awards”). The Initial Award shall be as set forth on Exhibit A annexed hereto vesting as set forth (the “Executive
Vesting Schedule”). Share Awards shall be subject to the applicable Plan terms and conditions, provided, however, that Share
Awards shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions as are provided herein or in any award, Board resolution or certificate(s),
which shall supersede any conflicting provisions governing Share Awards provided under the Plan.


  


 


		6.	Severance Compensation.



 


(a)          
Upon termination of employment for
any reason, the Executive shall be entitled to: (A) all Base Salary earned through the date of termination to be paid according to Section
4; (B) any Annual Bonuses, pro-rated, to be paid in accordance with Section 5(a) and Section 5(b) above (unless termination is for Cause,
as defined below) ; (C) all accrued but unused vacation time, and (d) reimbursement of all reasonable expenses as set forth in Section
8.


 


(b)           
Upon termination of employment by Company for any reason other than for cause (“Cause”)
as defined in Section 11(c), or upon termination of employment by Executive for good reason (“Good Reason”) as defined
in Section 11(d)(1), Executive shall be entitled to receipt of all vested and unvested shares contemplated in the Executive Award in accord
with the any vesting schedule as if no termination occurred.


 


(c)        
In the event of a termination by the Company without Cause, by the Executive for Good Reason or by
the Executive within one hundred eighty days (180) days of the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) and subject to the
additional provisions of Section 11(d)(3), then in addition to the severance compensation set forth in Section 6(a) and 6(b), Executive
shall also be entitled to the following enhanced separation benefits (“Enhanced Separation Benefits”): (i) the greater
of Executive’s continued Base Salary through the balance of the Employment Period, as renewed, or twenty-four (24) months of Executive’s
then Base Salary; (ii) continued participation in Company welfare benefit plans (including health benefits) on the same terms as immediately
prior to termination and to be paid in full by the Company for the period of time set forth in this Section 6(c) (not to be less than
twelve (12) months of continuation of benefits) and (iii) immediate vesting of all stock options/equity awards.


 


(d)        
Upon termination of Executive’s continued benefits (either pursuant to Section 6(a), 6(b) or
6(c) as the case may be), the Executive may continue coverage with respect to the Company’s group health plans as permitted by the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) for himself and each of his “Qualified Beneficiaries”
as defined by COBRA (“COBRA Coverage”). The Company shall reimburse the amount of any COBRA premium paid for COBRA
Coverage timely elected by and for the Executive and any Qualified Beneficiary of the Executive, and not otherwise reimbursed, during
the period that ends on the earliest of (x) the date the Executive or the Qualified Beneficiary, as the case may be, ceases to be eligible
for COBRA Coverage, (y) the last day of the consecutive eighteen (18) month period following the date of the Executive’s termination
of employment and (z) the date the Executive or the Qualified Beneficiary, as the case may be, is covered by another group health plan.
To reimburse any COBRA premium payment under this paragraph, the Company must receive documentation of the COBRA premium payment within
ninety (90) days of its payment.


 


7.                
Clawback Rights. The Annual Bonus, and any and all stock based compensation (such as options
and equity awards) (collectively, the “Clawback Benefits”) shall be subject to “Clawback Rights”
as follows: during the period that the Executive is employed by the Company and upon the termination of the Executive’s employment
and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, if there is a restatement of any financial results from which any metrics were determined
to be achieved which were the basis of the granting and calculation of such Clawback Benefits to the Executive, the Executive agrees to
repay any amounts which were determined by reference to any Company financial results which were later restated (as defined below), to
the extent the Clawback Benefits amounts paid exceed the Clawback Benefits amounts that would have been paid, based on the restatement
of the Company’s financial information. All Clawback Benefits amounts resulting from such restated financial results shall be retroactively
adjusted by the Compensation Committee to take into account the restated results, and any excess portion of the Clawback Benefits resulting
from such restated results shall be immediately surrendered to the Company and if not so surrendered within ninety (90) days of the revised
calculation being provided to the Executive by the Compensation Committee following a publicly announced restatement, the Company shall
have the right to take any and all action to effectuate such adjustment. The calculation of the revised Clawback Benefits amount shall
be determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith and in accordance with applicable law, rules and regulations. All determinations
by the Compensation Committee with respect to the Clawback Rights shall be final and binding on the Company and the Executive. The Clawback
Rights shall terminate following a Change of Control as defined in Section 11(f), subject to applicable law, rules and regulations. For
purposes of this Section 7, a restatement of financial results that requires a repayment of a portion of the Clawback Benefits amounts
shall mean a restatement resulting from material non-compliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the federal
securities laws and shall not include a restatement of financial results resulting from subsequent changes in accounting pronouncements
or requirements which were not in effect on the date the financial statements were originally prepared (“Restatements”).
The parties acknowledge it is their intention that the foregoing Clawback Rights as relates to Restatements conform in all respects to
the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and require
recovery of all “incentive-based” compensation, pursuant to the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and any and all rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time in effect. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
automatically amended from time to time to assure compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act and such rules and regulations as hereafter may be
adopted and in effect.


 


8.                  
Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by the Company for all reasonable
ordinary and necessary travel, entertainment, and other expenses incurred by the Executive while employed (in accordance with the policies
and procedures established by the Company for its senior executive officers) in the performance of his duties and responsibilities under
this Agreement; provided, that the Executive shall properly account for such expenses in accordance with Company policies and procedures.
Reimbursement of such expenses shall be paid out even after Executive’s termination for any reason, so long as the expenses were
incurred during Executive’s employment with the Company.


 


9.                  
Other Benefits. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be eligible to participate
in incentive, stock purchase, savings, retirement (401(k)), and welfare benefit plans, including, without limitation, health, medical,
dental, vision, life (including accidental death and dismemberment) and disability insurance plans (collectively, “Benefit Plans”),
in substantially the same manner and at substantially the same levels as the Company makes such opportunities available to the Company’s
managerial or salaried executive employees and/or its senior executive officers.


 


10.             
Vacation. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to accrue, on
a pro rata basis, thirty (30) paid vacation days per year. Vacation shall be taken at such times as are mutually convenient to the Executive
and the Company and no more than fifteen (15) consecutive days shall be taken at any one time without Company approval in advance.


 


		11.	Termination of Employment.



 


(a)                    
Death. If the Executive dies during the Employment Period, this Agreement and the Executive’s
employment with the Company shall automatically terminate and the Company’s obligations to the Executive’s estate and to the
Executive’s Qualified Beneficiaries shall be those set forth in Section 6(a) and 6(d) regarding severance compensation.


 


(b)                    
Disability. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement the Executive shall be prevented
from performing his essential functions hereunder to the full extent required by the Company by reason of Disability (as defined below),
this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company shall automatically terminate. The Company’s obligation to
the Executive under such circumstances shall be those set forth in Section 6(a) and 6(d) regarding severance compensation. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental disability that prevents the performance by the Executive,
with or without reasonable accommodation, of his essential functions hereunder for an aggregate of ninety (90) days or longer during any
twelve (12) consecutive months. The determination of the Executive’s Disability shall be made by an independent physician who is
reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Executive (or his representative), be final and binding on the parties hereto and be made
taking into account such competent medical evidence as shall be presented to such independent physician by the Executive and/or the Company
or by any physician or group of physicians or other competent medical experts employed by the Executive and/or the Company to advise such
independent physician.


 


		(c)	Cause.



 


(1)                
At any time during the Employment Period, the Company may terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s
employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (a) the willful and continued failure
of the Executive to perform substantially his material duties and responsibilities for the Company (other than any such failure resulting
from the Executive’s death or Disability) after a written demand by the Board for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive,
which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed his duties and
responsibilities, which willful and continued failure is not cured by the Executive within thirty (30) days following his receipt of such
written demand; the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony, or (c) fraud, dishonesty or gross misconduct
which is materially and demonstratively injurious to the Company. Termination under clauses (b) or (c) of this Section 11(c)(1) shall
not be subject to cure.


 


(2)                 
For purposes of this Section 11(c), no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall
be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by him in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his action
or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company. Between the time the Executive receives written demand regarding
substantial performance, as set forth in subparagraph (1) above, and prior to an actual termination for Cause, the Executive will be entitled
to appear (with counsel) before the full Board to present information regarding his views on the Cause event. Under no circumstances shall
Executive be terminated under Section 11(c)(1)(a) before the expiration of the 30 day cure period. After such hearing, termination for
Cause must be approved by a majority vote of the full Board (other than the Executive). For terminations pursuant to Sections 11(c)(1)(b)
and (c), the Board may suspend the Executive with full pay and benefits until a final determination by the full Board has been made.


 


(3)                
Upon termination of this Agreement for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligations or liability
to the Executive or his heirs, administrators or executors with respect to compensation and benefits thereafter, except for the obligation
to pay the Executive pursuant to Section 6(a). The Company shall deduct, from all payments made hereunder, all applicable taxes, including
income tax, FICA and FUTA, and other appropriate deductions.


 


		(d)	For Good Reason or a Change of Control or Without Cause.



 


(1)                  
At any time during the term of this Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
11(d)(2) below, the Executive may terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company for “Good Reason”
or on account of a “Change of Control” (as defined in Section 11(f)). For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason”
shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events without Executive’s consent: (A) the assignment to the Executive of duties
that are significantly different from, and/or that result in a substantial diminution of, the duties that he assumed on the Effective
Date (including reporting to anyone other than solely and directly to the Board); (B) the assignment to the Executive of a title that
is different from and subordinate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, provided, however, for the absence of doubt following
a Change of Control, should the Executive be required to serve in a diminished capacity in a division or unit of another entity (including
the acquiring entity), such event shall constitute Good Reason regardless of the title of the Executive in such acquiring company, division
or unit; (C) material breach by the Company of this Agreement, or (D) a required relocation of the Executive's place of employment (as
defined in Section 3) by more than a 50 mile radius.


 


(2)                  
The Executive shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason unless and until
he shall have delivered written notice to the Company within ninety (90) days of the date upon which the facts giving rise to Good Reason
occurred of his intention to terminate this Agreement and his employment with the Company for Good Reason, which notice specifies in reasonable
detail the circumstances claimed to provide the basis for such termination for Good Reason, and the Company shall not have eliminated
the circumstances constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days of its receipt from the Executive of such written notice. In the event
the Executive elects to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason in accordance with Section 11(d)(1), such election must be made within
the eighty (180) days following the initial existence of one or more of the conditions constituting Good Reason as provided in Section
11(d)(1). In the event the Executive elects to terminate this Agreement for a Change in Control in accordance with Section 11(d)(1), such
election must be made within one hundred eighty (180) days of the occurrence of the Change of Control.


 


(3)                  
In the event that the Executive terminates this Agreement and his employment with the Company for
Good Reason or within one hundred eighty (180) days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, or the Company terminates this Agreement
and the Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or, following
his death, to the Executive’s heirs, administrators or executors) the Enhanced Separation Benefits set forth in Sections 6(c) and
6(d); provided, that the Executive executes an agreement releasing Company and its affiliates from any liability associated with this
Agreement (excepting any payment obligations) and such release is irrevocable at the time the separation payment is first payable under
this Section 11 and the Executive complies with his other obligations under Sections 12 and 13 of this Agreement. Subject to the terms
hereof, one-half (1/2) of the compensation of the Enhanced Separation Benefits payment shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s
termination of employment (“Initial Payment”), provided that the Executive has executed a release (excepting payment
obligations) and that if the release execution period begins in one taxable year and ends in another taxable year, the Initial Payment
shall not be made until the beginning of the taxable year immediately following termination. The balance of the compensation of the Enhanced
Separation Benefits shall be paid in substantially equal installments on the Company’s regular payroll dates beginning with the
first payroll date coincident with or immediately following the Initial Payment and ending on the payroll date coincident with or immediately
following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Initial Payment. The Company shall deduct, from all payments made hereunder, all applicable
taxes, including income tax, FICA and FUTA, and other appropriate deductions.


 


(4)                  
The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section
11(d) by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 11(d) be reduced by any
compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer or business or by profits earned by the Executive
from any other source at any time before and after the termination date. The Company’s obligation to make any payment pursuant to,
and otherwise to perform its obligations under, this Agreement shall not be affected by any offset, counterclaim or other right that the
Company may have against the Executive for any reason.


 


(e)                  
Without “Good Reason” by the Executive. At any time during the term of this Agreement,
the Executive shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company without Good Reason
and other than for a Change of Control by providing prior written notice of at least thirty (30) days to
the Company. Upon termination by the Executive of this Agreement or the Executive’s employment with the Company without Good
Reason and other than for a Change of Control, the Company shall have no further obligations or liability to the Executive or his heirs,
administrators or executors with respect to compensation and benefits thereafter, except for the obligations set forth in Sections 6(a).
The Company shall deduct, from all payments made hereunder, all applicable taxes, including income tax, FICA and FUTA, and other appropriate
deductions.


 


(f)                       
Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control”
shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following: (i) the accumulation (if over time, in any consecutive twelve (12) month
period), whether directly, indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3)
or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than fifty (50%) percent or more of the shares of the outstanding
Common Stock of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale or other transfer of shares of Common Stock (other than a merger or
consolidation where the stockholders of the Company prior to the merger or consolidation are the holders of a majority of the voting securities
of the entity that survives such merger or consolidation) for purposes of clarity the Company expects to sell a number of shares and/or
convert outstanding senior debt and/or preferred stock to either preferred or common stock not limited to the period of this contract
to raise funds and stabilize its balance sheet and any such sales shall not constitute a change of control for purposes of this section
or Agreement, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (iii) during any period of twelve (12) consecutive
months, the individuals who, at the beginning of such period, constitute the Company, and any new director whose election by the Board
or nomination for election by the Company’s or Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3)
of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the twelve (12) month period or whose election or
nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board.


 


(g)                  
Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive (other than
termination by reason of the Executive’s death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate
the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, provided, however, failure
to provide timely notification shall not affect the employment status of the Executive.


 


		12.	Confidential Information.



 


(a)                   
Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Executive recognizes, acknowledges and agrees
that he has had and will continue to have access to secret and confidential information regarding the Company and Company, its subsidiaries
and their respective businesses (“Confidential Information”), including but not limited to, its products, methods,
formulas, software code, patents, sources of supply, customer dealings, data, know-how, trade secrets and business plans, provided such
information is not in or does not hereafter become part of the public domain, or become known to others through no fault of the Executive.
The Executive acknowledges that such information is of great value to the Company and Company, is the sole property of the Company and
Company, and has been and will be acquired by him in confidence. In consideration of the obligations undertaken by the Company herein,
the Executive will not, at any time, during or after his employment hereunder, reveal, divulge or make known to any person, any information
acquired by the Executive during the course of his employment, which is treated as confidential by the Company, and not otherwise in the
public domain. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder.


 


(b)                   
The Executive affirms that he does not possess and will not rely upon the protected trade secrets
or confidential or proprietary information of any prior employer(s) in providing services to the Company or its subsidiaries.


 


(c)                  
In the event that the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, the
Executive shall deliver forthwith to the Company any and all originals and copies, including those in electronic or digital formats, of
Confidential Information; provided, however, the Executive shall be entitled to retain (i) papers and other materials of a personal nature,
including, but not limited to, photographs, correspondence, personal diaries, calendars and rolodexes, personal files and phone books,
(ii) information showing his compensation or relating to reimbursement of expenses, (iii) information that he reasonably believes may
be needed for tax purposes and (iv) copies of plans, programs and agreements relating to his employment, or termination thereof, with
the Company.


 


		13.	Section 409A.



The provisions
of this Agreement are intended to comply with or are exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and the
related Treasury Regulations and shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under
Section 409A. The Company and the Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take
such reasonable actions necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A or income recognition
prior to actual payment to the Executive under this Agreement.


 


It is intended
that any expense reimbursement made under this Agreement shall be exempt from Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any expense
reimbursement made under this Agreement shall be determined to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A (“Deferred
Compensation”), then (a) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit, (b) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect
the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year (provided that this clause (b)
shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such
expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect) and (c) such payments shall be made on or before the
last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred.


 


With respect
to the time of payments of any amount under this Agreement that is Deferred Compensation, references in the Agreement to “termination
of employment” and substantially similar phrases, including a termination of employment due to the Executive’s Disability,
shall mean “Separation from Service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A (determined after applying
the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)). Each installment payable hereunder shall constitute a separate
payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b), including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). Each payment
that is made within the terms of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) is
intended to meet the “short-term deferral” rule. Each other payment is intended to be a payment upon an involuntary termination
from service and payable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), et. seq., to the maximum extent permitted by that
regulation, with any amount that is not exempt from Code Section 409A being subject to Code Section 409A.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A
at the time of the Executive’s termination, then only that portion of the severance and benefits payable to the Executive pursuant
to this Agreement, if any, and any other severance payments or separation benefits which may be considered Deferred Compensation (together,
the “Deferred Separation Benefits”), which (when considered together) do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined
herein) may be made within the first six (6) months following the Executive’s termination of employment in accordance with the payment
schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Any portion of the Deferred Separation Benefits in excess of the Section 409A Limit otherwise
due to the Executive on or within the six (6) month period following the Executive’s termination will accrue during such six (6)
month period and will become payable in one lump sum cash payment on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the
Executive’s termination of employment. All subsequent Deferred Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the
payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Executive dies following
termination but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Executive’s termination date, then any payments delayed in accordance
with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of the Executive’s death
and all other Deferred Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.
