such termination, in consideration for all of the undertakings and covenants of the Executive contained herein, continue to pay
to the Executive the Base Salary in effect as of the Date of Termination for a period of six (6) months from the Date of Termination,
provided that such termination constitutes a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the “Code”). In no event, however, shall the continuation of such payments during such
post-termination period be deemed to be employment hereunder for purposes of calculating any bonus due to the Executive or for
purposes of determining the vesting or exercise period of any stock options granted hereunder, or otherwise. Except as set forth
in this Subsection 5(d)(ii), the Executive further shall not be provided benefits from the Company, as set forth in Subsections
4(c) and (d), once the Date of Termination has been reached, other than those benefits that have accrued prior to the

provided that such termination constitutes a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the “Code”). In no event, however, shall the continuation of such payments during such
post-termination period be deemed to be employment hereunder for purposes of calculating any bonus due to the Executive or for
purposes of determining the vesting or exercise period of any stock options granted hereunder, or otherwise. Except as set forth
in this Subsection 5(d)(iii), the Executive further shall not be provided benefits from the Company, as set forth in Subsections

by Executive. In the event that the employment of the Executive is terminated pursuant to Subsection 5(c), no Compensation
(as set forth in Section 4 above), no severance, no pro-rated bonuses or other post-termination payment shall be due or
payable by the Company to the Executive (except solely such Base Salary or other payments as may have been accrued but not yet
paid prior to such termination).


 


(e)       Release
Required for Severance Payments. No post-employment payments by the Company relating to termination of employment under

if such release is not delivered within ninety (90) days after the date on which such payment is due.


 


(f)       Compliance
with Section 409A. The Parties to this Agreement intend that the Agreement complies with Section 409A of the Code, where
applicable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intention. A termination of employment shall
not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits
upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination qualifies as a “separation from service” within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,”
“termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, and solely to the extent necessary for compliance with Section 409A of the Code
and not otherwise eligible for exclusion from the requirements of Section 409A, if as of the date of the Executive’s separation
from service from the Company, (i) the Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section
409A of the Code and the applicable regulations), and (ii) the Company or any member of a controlled group including the Company
is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, no payment or other distribution required to be made to the
Executive hereunder (including any payment of cash, any transfer of property and any provision of taxable benefits) solely as
a result of the Executive’s separation from service shall be made earlier than the first day of the seventh month following
the date on which the Executive separates from service with the Company. Each payment of Base Salary pursuant to Subsection
5(d)(ii) and 5(d)(iii) shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

upon as the basis for the Termination and the Date of Termination. The Date of Termination shall not be earlier than the date

to have the Executive not report to work after the date of the written notice.

date hereof), provided that such Inventions grew out of the Executive’s work with the Company, are related in any manner
to the Business, as such term is defined in the Recitals, or are conceived or made on the Company’s time or with the use
of the Company’s facilities or materials). The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any of his work product created, produced
or conceived in connection with his association with the Company shall be deemed work for hire and shall be deemed owned exclusively
by the Company.

Restrictions. The Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Information, trade secrets, and/or Inventions constitute

Company shall be entitled to seek all available civil remedies, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, an injunction
without posting a bond, damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs.

and Assigns. The Company and its successors and assigns may enforce these restrictive covenants.


 


(k)       Construction,
Survival. If the period of time, area, or scope of restriction specified in this Section 6 should be adjudged unreasonable

to be reasonable. If the Executive violates any of the restrictions contained in this Section 6, the Restricted Period
shall be tolled during the time that the Executive is in violation. All the provisions of this Section 6 shall survive
the term of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company.

Agreements. The Executive represents to the Company (1) that there are no restrictions, agreements, or understandings
whatsoever to which the Executive is a party which would prevent or make unlawful the Executive’s execution of this Agreement
or employment hereunder, (2) that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement and employment hereunder shall not constitute
a breach of any contract, agreement or understanding, oral or written, to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive

Executive further represents and agrees that he will not bring with him/her, disclose, or otherwise use any confidential, proprietary
or trade secret information acquired from any prior employer, whether that information was created by the Executive or others.
A written or oral notice or complaint that Executive breached this provision or violated a restrictive covenant or an agreement
not to disclose Confidential Information shall subject the Executive, at the Company’s sole discretion, to immediate termination
with Cause. The Executive also agrees to fully indemnify the Company for any and all damages, costs and/or attorney’s fees
incurred by the Company that arise from any claims that were related to the Executive’s alleged or actual breach of a restrictive
