by the Company. Any such activities of significance shall be reported by Executive to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
and Board of Directors.

terminated as provided in Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that, unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 4 hereof,
the Initial Term shall automatically be extended for one additional year (the “Renewal Term”), and on each subsequent
anniversary, the Renewal Term shall be extended for one additional year (the period consisting of the Initial Term and the Renewal

Company (“Affiliated Company”), prepared by the Company’s outside counsel (“Release of Claims”) within
sixty (60) days following the date of Executive’s Date of Termination. If Executive fails to execute the Release of Claims
in such a timely manner so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, or timely
revokes her acceptance of such release following its execution, Executive shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits.
Further, to the extent that any of the Severance Benefits constitutes a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, as defined below,
any payment of any amount or provision of any benefit otherwise scheduled to occur prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the
date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder, but for the condition on executing the Release of Claims as set

5.1Upon a Change of Control during the
Employment Period, Executive shall immediately become fully vested, and have a non-forfeitable right to, Executive’s initial
equity-based compensation award, as if all specified performance objectives and other conditions had been fully attained, and Executive
shall have two (2) years following the Change of Control, or the remaining term of the respective options, whichever period is
less, in which to exercise any and all vested options. If Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or if Executive
resigns from employment as a result of a material diminution of Executive’s duties or material reduction of Executive’s
compensation and benefits within the twenty four (24) month period following a Change of Control, Executive shall immediately become
fully vested, and have a non-forfeitable right to, any previously granted equity-based compensation awards, as if all specified

of Termination, or the remaining term of the respective options, whichever period is less, in which to exercise any and all vested
options.


 


5.2For purposes of this Agreement, “Change
of Control” shall mean:


 


5.2.1Any individual, entity, or group

(a “Person”), becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of
35% or more of either (A) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”)
or (B) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the following acquisitions
shall not constitute a Change of Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii)
any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Company,
or (iv) any acquisition pursuant to a transaction that complies with subclauses (A), (B), and (C) of paragraph 5.2.3 below;


 


5.2.2Individuals who, as of the date
hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the
Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for
election, by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose,
any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect
to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a
Person other than the Board;


 


5.2.3Consummation of a reorganization,
merger, statutory share exchange, or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, a sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or securities of another
entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such
Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the
Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially
own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent
securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such
Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries), in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding
Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or
any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially
owns, directly or indirectly, 35% or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a non-corporate
entity, equivalent securities) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding
voting securities of such entity, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at
least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of the entity
resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement

5.2.4Approval by the stockholders of
the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.


 


6.Section 280G. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit Executive would receive pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise (collectively, the “Payments”) would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section
280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and, but for this sentence, would be subject to the excise tax imposed
by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar or successor provision (the “Excise Tax”), then the aggregate amount of
the Payments shall be reduced, but only to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Payments (after reduction) are subject
to the Excise Tax. The professional firm engaged by the Company for general tax purposes as of the day prior to the date of the
event that might reasonably be anticipated to result in Payments that would otherwise be subject to the Excise Tax will perform
the foregoing calculations. If the tax firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the acquiring company,
the Company will appoint a nationally recognized tax firm to make the determinations required by this Section. The Company will
bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made by this Section. The Company and Executive
shall furnish such tax firm such information and documents as the tax firm may reasonably request in order to make its required
determination. The tax firm will provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and
Executive as soon as practicable following its engagement. Any good faith determinations of the tax firm made hereunder will be
final.


 


7.Covenants.


 


7.1Confidential Information. During
the Employment Period and the five (5) year period immediately following the Date of Termination, Executive shall hold all Confidential
Information in strictest confidence and shall not use or disclose such Confidential Information, or cause it to be used or disclosed,
other than as required in performance of Executive’s duties on behalf of the Company or unless first specifically authorized
in writing by Company to Executive. In the event that Executive is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, Executive
agrees to give the Company prompt advance written notice thereof and to provide the Company with reasonable assistance, at the
Company’s cost and expense, in obtaining an order to protect the Confidential Information from public disclosure. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean any information about the Company and all of its Affiliated
Companies, including methods of operation, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, research and development, inventions,
trade secrets, know-how, software, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets, and other specialized
information or proprietary matters. “Confidential Information” does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder
with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to the public or (ii) becomes generally available to the public other
than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible hereunder.

7.2Noncompetition/Nonsolicitation.
Executive recognizes the benefits derived by her from her employment or engagement by the Company and that the continuation of
such benefits is dependent upon the continued success of the Company which, in turn, is dependent in part upon the preservation
of the Company’s relationships with its clients. Executive believes it to be in her own best interests and in the best interests
of the Company, its stockholders, and its other employees to preserve the Company’s relationships with its clients. In consideration
of the foregoing and of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, Executive hereby agrees as follows:


 


7.2.1During the Employment Period, Executive

competitive with the business of the Company, or its subsidiaries, if any.


 


7.2.2During the Employment Period, Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, on her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, (a) solicit, accept any business
from, or perform any services for any account which is or was a client of the Company; (b) cause or induce or attempt to cause
or induce any client to withdraw any business from the Company; or (c) solicit or accept from any prospective client of the Company
any business or service which was solicited on behalf of the Company by Executive or otherwise misappropriate any business opportunity
of the Company for her own benefit. Executive agrees further not to engage during the one (1) year period following any termination
of employment in any such activities prohibited by this paragraph to the extent that any activity would involve the use of Confidential
Information or trade secrets of the Company.


 


7.2.3During the Employment Period and
for the one (1) year period following any termination thereof, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, on her own behalf or
on behalf of any other person or entity, cause or induce or attempt to cause or induce any employee of the Company to terminate
her employment with the Company, or advise or recommend to any other person that he employ or solicit for employment any person
who is, or was within the six (6) month period prior to the Date of Termination, an employee or other service provider of the Company,
or its subsidiaries, if any.


 



    	7



    	 



    




7.2.4Notwithstanding any provision contained
herein to the contrary, it is understood that Executive shall have the right and privilege at any time to invest in any competitive
enterprise or business whose capital stock is listed on a national securities exchange in the United States or is traded on the
Nasdaq stock market, provided the total direct and indirect investment of Executive, Executive’s spouse and dependents, represents
not more than two percent (2%) of the total capital stock of such enterprise. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or restrict
Executive from investing in any non-competitive enterprise or business.


 


7.3Except to the extent materially conflicting
with this Agreement, Executive agrees that she shall abide by, and shall conduct business in accordance with and subject to, all
applicable policies and procedures of the Company, including all employee and ethical policies of the Company, and all client conflict-of-interest
policies applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries generally, as such policies may exist from time to time. Executive also
understands and agrees that the business and affairs of the Company shall be conducted in accordance with the Company’s Corporate
Policies and strict legal and ethical standards, including, without limitation, compliance with all commercial, tax, labor, and
other laws (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act).


 


8.Indemnification. The Company
shall indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless from any and all claims arising from or related to Executive’s performance
of her duties hereunder to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and/or the Company’s Directors and Officers Liability
Insurance.


 


9.Tax Withholding; Section 409A.
Any payments or benefits provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state,
or local law and any additional withholding to which Executive has agreed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, the following shall apply:


 


9.1In the event that Executive is a “specified
employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by
the Company as in effect on the Date of Termination), any amount or that constitutes a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
(within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)) that would otherwise be payable or
provided during the six-month period immediately following the Date of Termination shall instead be paid or provided on the first
business day after the date that is six months following Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Code.


 


9.2To the extent required by Code Section
409A, any payment or benefits otherwise due to Executive upon her termination of employment with the Company that constitutes a
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan that shall not be made until and unless such termination from employment constitutes a
“separation from service” as such term is defined under Code Section 409A. This provision shall have no effect on payments
or benefits otherwise due or payable to Executive or on her behalf, which are not on account of her termination from employment
with the Company or as a result of her death.
