5.7 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject in all respects to Section 16.9 below), if all
or any portion of the payments due under Section 5 are determined to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject
to Section 409A of the Code, and the Company determines that Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and other guidance issued thereunder), then such Severance Payment will be made on the
first day of the seventh month following the month in which Executive’s termination of employment occurs.


 


5.8 Notice of Termination; Non-Renewal.
Any termination of employment pursuant to Sections 5.1 through 5.5 shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the
other party hereto given in accordance with Section 13.2. 


 


(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Notice of Termination” means a written notice that


 


(i) indicates the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for




     


     


    

termination of Executive’s employment under the provision
so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies
the termination date. The failure by Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance
that contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of Executive or the Company, as the case may be,
hereunder or preclude Executive or the Company, as the case may be, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing Executive’s
or the Company’s rights hereunder. 


 


(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Date
of Termination” means (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 5.1 through

such Date of Termination is in accordance with Sections 5.4 or 5.5, as the case may be), (ii) if Executive’s employment
is terminated by reason of death, the date of death, and (iii) the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, as
applicable. 


 


(c) A termination of employment pursuant
to Section 5.6 shall be communicated by a Notice of Non-Renewal to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 2
and Section 13.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement, Executive hereby agrees to execute
and deliver the Letter of Resignation to the Company if Executive’s employment is validly terminated for any reason other
than for death. 


 


6. CONFIDENTIALITY/TRADE SECRETS


 


Executive specifically agrees that Executive
will not at any time, whether during or subsequent to the Term, in any fashion, form or manner, except in furtherance of Executive’s
duties at the Company or with the specific written consent of the Company, either directly or indirectly use, divulge, disclose
or communicate to any person or entity in any manner whatsoever, any confidential information or trade secrets of any kind, nature
or description concerning any matters affecting or relating to the business of the Company (the “ Proprietary
Information ”), including, without limitation, (a) all information, design or software programs (including
object codes and source codes), techniques, drawings, plans, experimental and research work, inventions, patterns, processes and
know-how, whether or not patentable, and whether or not at a commercial stage related to the Company or any subsidiary thereof,
(b)  lists or other written records used in the Company’s business, (g) compensation paid to employees and other
terms of employment, or (h) any other confidential information of, about or concerning the business of the Company, its manner
of operation, or other confidential data of any kind, nature, or description (excluding any information that is or becomes publicly
known or available for use through no fault of Executive or as directed by court order). The parties hereto stipulate that as between
them, Proprietary Information constitutes trade secrets that derive independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being
generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value or cause economic harm to the Company from its
disclosure or use and that Proprietary Information is the subject of efforts which are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain
its secrecy and of which this Section 6 is an example, and that any breach of this Section 6 shall be a material breach
of this Agreement. All Proprietary Information shall be and remain the Company’s sole property. 


 


7. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF


 


Executive acknowledges that any violation of
any provision of Sections 6 hereof by Executive will cause irreparable damage to the Company, that such damages will be incapable
of precise measurement and that, as a result, the Company will not have an adequate remedy at law to redress the harm which such
violations will cause. Therefore, in the event of any violation or threatened violation of any provision of Sections 6 hereof
by Executive, in addition to any other rights at law or in equity the Company may have, Executive agrees that the Company will
be entitled to seek, without proof of an inadequate remedy at law, posting any bond or proof of damages, equitable relief in the
form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which
may then be available. 


 





     


     


    
8. COMPANY’S AND EXECUTIVE’S DUTIES ON TERMINATION


 


In the event of termination of Executive’s
employment pursuant to Section 5, Executive agrees to deliver promptly to the Company all Proprietary Information which is
or has been in Executive’s possession or under Executive’s control. Upon termination of Executive’s employment
by the Company for any reason whatsoever and at any earlier time the Company so requests, Executive will deliver to the custody
of the person designated by the Company all originals and copies of such documents and other property of the Company in Executive’s
possession, under Executive’s control or to which Executive may have access. 


 


9. NON-DISPARAGEMENT


 


During and after the Term, for any reason,
neither Executive nor his agents, on the one hand, nor the Company, or its senior executives or the Board, on the other hand, shall
directly or indirectly issue or communicate any public statement, or statement likely to become public, that maligns, denigrates
or disparages the other (including, in the case of communications by Executive or his agents, any of the Company’s officers,
directors or employees). The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful responses to legal process or governmental inquiry or
by private statements to any of the Company’s officers, directors or employees; provided, that, in
the case of Executive, such statements are made in the course of carrying out his duties pursuant to this Agreement. 


 


10. INDEMNIFICATION


 


The Company shall indemnify the Executive against
all losses, claims, expenses, or other liabilities of any nature arising by reason of the fact that Executive: (a) is or was
a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (b) while a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner,
venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other entity, in each case to the fullest extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes, Private
Corporations Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive shall
be entitled in connection with Executive’s employment and in connection with Executive’s services as an officer and/or
director of the Company to the benefit of the provisions relating to indemnification and advancement of defense costs and expenses
contained in the bylaws and articles of incorporation of the Company, as the same in the future may be amended (not including any
amendments or additions that limit or narrow, but including any that add to or broaden, the protection afforded to the Executive),
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Company shall advance to Executive all costs of investigation or defense
incurred by the Executive in connection with any pending or threatened claim for which Executive may be entitled to indemnification
hereunder, provided that the Executive shall agree to return to the Company any such reimbursed amounts, without interest, if it
is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Executive is not entitled to indemnification
by the Company for losses incurred in connection with such claim. The indemnification obligations of the Employer shall survive
from the Effective Date of this Agreement and continue until three (3) months after the expiration of any applicable statute
of limitations with respect to any claim made against Executive for which Executive is or may be entitled to indemnification (the
“Survival Period ”), and shall survive after the Survival Period with respect to any indemnification
claim as to which the Company has received notice on or prior to the end of the Survival Period. During the Term of this Agreement
and during the Survival Period, the Company shall, to the extent that the Board determines it to be economically reasonable, maintain
for the benefit of Executive, on an “occurrence” basis, a directors and officers errors and omissions insurance policy,
or a similar insurance policy(ies), providing coverage from a financially reputable carrier. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason, and no release which
may be entered into in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment will be deemed to release the Employer
from its obligations under this Section 10.

13.3 Governing Law. This Agreement
is governed by, and is to be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles
of conflicts of laws. 


 


13.4 Amendment. No provisions of
this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived unless such amendment or modification is agreed to in writing signed by Executive
and by a duly authorized officer selected at such time by the Board, and such waiver is set forth in writing and signed by the
party to be charged. 


 


13.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement
sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior
or contemporaneous agreements, arrangements and understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to such
subject matter. Executive and the Company affirm that each fully understands this Agreement’s meaning and effect. Each party
hereto has participated fully and equally in the negotiation and drafting of this agreement. This Agreement contains section headings
for reference only. The headings in no way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. For purposes of Section 6, 8

13.9 Section 409A. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payment of the benefits set
forth herein either shall be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or shall comply with the requirements
of such provision. Furthermore, the Company and its respective officers, directors, employees or agents make no guarantee that
this Agreement complies with, or is exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and none of the foregoing shall
have any liability for the failure of this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the provisions of Code Section 409A.
The parties hereto agree to make such amendments from time to time to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as are necessary
to ensure that this Agreement complies with the terms of and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code and any regulation
or other official guidance promulgated thereunder. Each payment due hereunder shall be treated as a separate payment under Section 409A
of the Code. To the extent required by Code Section 409A, “termination of employment” (or any similar terms) shall
mean “separation from service” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h) and the default presumptions
thereof). With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except
as permitted by Code Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation
or exchange for another benefit, (ii) 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, and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable
year in which the expense was incurred.
