EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT



This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is made by and between Healthaxis, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (the “Company”) and an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of HealthAxis Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Parent”), and Ronald K. Herbert (the “Executive”), as of the 31st
day of December, 2005.



1.    Employment
Period.    The Company hereby agrees to continue the Executive in its employ, and the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the
employ of the Company subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the period commencing on December 31, 2005 (the “Effective
Date”) and ending on second anniversary of the Effective Date, unless terminated sooner by either party as permitted herein (the “Employment
Period”).



2.    Terms of
Employment.



(a)    Position and Duties.    During the Employment Period, the Executive’s position
(including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all material
respects with the following:



(i)    Executive’s title shall be Chief Financial Officer, reporting to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as
directed from time to time. The Executive will hold the same title at the Parent company level and any operating subsidiaries as
appropriate;

carry out the Company’s strategic and operational objectives; and

consistent with the foregoing.



During the Employment Period, and
excluding any periods of vacation and personal leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote reasonable






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 1














attention and time during
normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the
Executive hereunder, to use the Executive’s reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the
Employment Period it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees,
and (B) manage personal investments or other business in which Executive is involved or has an ownership interest, so long as such activities do not
significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement,
and Executive complies with the Company’s codes of ethics in relation to those outside interests.



(b)    Location.    The Executive’s services shall be performed primarily at the
Company’s corporate headquarters located in Irving, Texas. The Executive’s duties will may also involve some travel on Company
business.



(c)    Compensation.    During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive the following
compensation:



(i)    Base Salary.    An initial annual base salary of $150,000 (“Annual Base
Salary”), which shall be paid semi-monthly according to the Company’s standard payroll practice. During the Employment Period, the Annual
Base Salary will generally be reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and may be increased in the
Committee’s sole discretion. Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under
this Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase and the term Annual Base Salary as utilized in this Agreement shall
refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased;



(ii)    Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans.    During the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer
executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. For 2006, this includes the Company’s 2006 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan with a
target bonus of 20% of the Annual Base Salary, and a maximum bonus of 50% of the Annual Base Salary, based on achievement of certain corporate level
objectives and individual management objectives to be set in accordance with the 2006 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan;



(iii)    Stock Options.    Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Executive will receive
40,000 fully vested stock options issued pursuant to the Healthaxis Inc. 2005 Incentive Stock Plan, with an exercise price equal to the greater of
either (x) $2.25 or (y) the closing price of the stock on the date of the grant. Thereafter, during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to participate in all equity compensation plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company
and its affiliated companies. Executive acknowledges and agrees that participation in such plans and programs, including






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 2














additional equity
compensation plan awards, if any, will be at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and Executive further acknowledges
that additional equity awards made from time to time under such plans or programs may differ between various peer executives;



(iv)    Welfare Benefit Plans.    During the Employment Period, the Executive and/or the
Executive’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans,
practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and its affiliated companies (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental,
disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent applicable generally to other
peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies;



(v)    Vacation and Paid Time Off.    During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive three weeks of vacation under the standard Executive Vacation Policy, and seven days of personal leave under the Company’s
standard Paid Time Off policy; and



(vi)    Expenses.    During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive
prompt reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the standard policies, practices and procedures
of the Company.



3.    Termination of
Employment.



(a)    Death or Disability.    The Executive’s employment shall terminate upon the
Executive’s death during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during
the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with
Section 10(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the
Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided
that, within 30 days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. For purposes of
this Agreement, “Disability” shall have the meaning set forth in the long-term disability plan providing benefits to employees of the Company
and its affiliated companies at the Disability effective date. If there is no long term disability plan in effect for employees at the Disability
effective date, “Disability” shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis
for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a
physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative.



(b)    Cause.    The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the
Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 3













(i)    the
willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially the Executive’s duties with the Company or one of its affiliates to the
extent, degree and level of performance as provided in Section 2(a) (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental
illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Company which specifically identifies the manner in
which the Company believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties, and such failure is not cured within 30 days
(or such longer period as may be stated in the notice) following the date of the notice; or



(ii)    the
willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company;
or



(iii)    if
the Executive is or becomes ineligible to serve as an executive officer of a publicly traded company under any SEC or other governmental or
administrative body ruling, sanction or otherwise.



For purposes of this provision,
no act or failure to act, on the part of the Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the
Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or
failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors or upon the instructions of the Chairman,
the CEO of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the
Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause
unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to
the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion
of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i), (ii) or (iii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in
detail.



(c)    Good Reason.    The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive for
Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean:



(i)    the
assignment of the Executive to a position in which the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities are materially diminished from the
authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 2(a) of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company or its affiliated companies
which results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial
and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the
Executive;






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 4













(ii)    any
failure by the Company or its affiliated companies to comply with any of the provisions of Section 2(c) of this Agreement, other than an isolated,
insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by
the Executive;



(iii)    the
Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at any office or location other than as provided in Section 2(b) hereof;



(iv)    any
purported termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or



(v)    any
failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 9(c) of this Agreement.



For purposes of this Section
3(c), any good faith determination of Good Reason made by the Executive shall be conclusive.



(d)    Notice of Termination.    Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive
for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 10(b) of this Agreement. For
purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (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 the 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 (which date shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The
failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good
Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company,
respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.



(d)    Date of Termination.    “Date of Termination” means (i) if the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of
Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than
for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination, and (iii) if the
Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the
Disability effective date, as the case may be.



4.    Obligations of the Company
upon Termination.



(a)    Good Reason, Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability.    If, during the Employment
Period, the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause or death or Disability, or the Executive shall terminate
employment for Good Reason:






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 5













(i)    the
Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following
amounts:



(A)    the
sum of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, and (2) any compensation
previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay payable per the standard
vacation policy on termination, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), and (2) shall be
hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”); and



(B)    the
amount equal to one-half of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary (the “Severance”).



(ii)    all
stock options, restricted stock or other equity compensation awarded to the Executive by either the Parent or a successor by merger, consolidation or
otherwise, including, but not limited to, all awards under the HealthAxis Inc. 2005 Incentive Stock Plan (as now or hereafter amended and restated),
shall become 100% vested and, the stock options shall be exercisable for a period equal to thirty-six (36) months after the Executive’s Date of
Termination;



(iii)    for
six (6) months after the Executive’s Date of Termination, or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program,
practice or policy, the Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family at least equal to those which would have
been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described in Section 2(c)(iv) of this Agreement if the
Executive’s employment had not been terminated or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect
to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their families, provided, however, that if the Executive becomes re-employed
with another employer and is eligible to receive equivalent medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and
other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of
eligibility;



(iv)    the
Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide the Executive with outplacement services for a period of six (6) months, the provider of which
shall be selected by the Executive in his sole discretion; and



(v)    to the
extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or
provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its
affiliated companies (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Other Benefits”).






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 6













(b)    Death.    If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the
Executive’s death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive’s legal
representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued
Obligations shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of
Termination.



(c)    Disability.    If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the
Executive’s Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for
payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum
in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section
4(c) shall include, and the Executive shall be entitled after the Disability effective date to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to
the most favorable of those generally provided by the Company and its affiliated companies to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance
with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and
their families.



(d)    Cause, Other than for Good Reason.    If the Executive’s employment shall be
terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive other than the
obligation to pay to the Executive (x) the Accrued Obligations, (y) the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive, and (z) Other
Benefits, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period, excluding a
termination for Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for Accrued Obligations and the
timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. In such case, all Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30
days of the Date of Termination.



5.    Non-exclusivity of
Rights.    Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any
plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to
Section 10(f), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company
or any of its affiliated companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy,
practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination
shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this
Agreement.



6.    Full
Settlement.    The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its
obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company or any
of its affiliated companies may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any
other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and,






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 7














except to the extent provided in Section 4(a)(iii)
hereof, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full
extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome
thereof) by the Company or any of its affiliated companies, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any
provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any
payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.



7.    Certain Additional Payments by
the Company.



(a)    Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be
determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this
Section 7) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by
the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to
as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount
such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without
limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the
Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.



(b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 7(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 7, including
whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such
determination, shall be made by McGladrey & Pullen or such other certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Executive (the
“Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the
receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 7, shall be paid by the Company to
the Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding
upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial
determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been
made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies
pursuant to Section 7(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount
of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 8














Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.



(c)    The
Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the
Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after the Executive
is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the
Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive
in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:



(i)    give
the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,



(ii)    take
such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without
limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,



(iii)    cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and



(iv)    permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;



provided, however, that the
Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and
shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect
thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section
7(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all
administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either
direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute
such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the
Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance
the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from
any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed
income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable
year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the
Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 9














respect to which a Gross-Up
Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal
Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.



(d)    If,
after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 7(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund
with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 7(c)) promptly pay to the
Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the
Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 7(c), a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund
with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the
expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such
advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.



8.    Non-Compete, Confidential
Information and Release.



(a)    Covenant Not to Compete.



(i)    Compliance with the provisions of this Section 8 are an express condition of the Executive’s right to receive
payments, vesting, and benefits hereunder. The Executive acknowledges and recognizes the confidential information and records provided by the Company,
the Parent, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Employer”), the benefits provided hereunder, and
the professional training and experience he will receive from and the contacts he will be provided by the Employer, as well as the highly competitive
nature of the Employer’s business, and in consideration of all of the above, agrees that during the period beginning on the effective date of the
Executive’s termination of employment with the Employer (the “Date of Termination”) and ending twelve (12) months thereafter (the
“Covered Time”), the Executive will not compete with the business of the Employer. For purposes hereof, “competition” shall mean
any engaging, directly or indirectly, in the “Covered Business” (as hereinafter defined) in any state of the United States of America or any
nation in which the Employer is conducting business as of the Date of Termination (the “Covered Area”). For purposes of this Agreement,
“Covered Business” shall mean providing any services similar in scope or nature to the services provided by the Executive immediately prior
to his Date of Termination for an entity that competes with the Company or its Parent or subsidiary entities with respect to their primary lines of
business. For purposes of this Section 8, the phrase “engaging, directly or indirectly” shall mean engaging directly or having an interest,
directly or indirectly, as owner, partner, shareholder, agent, representative, employee, officer, director, independent contractor, capital investor,
lender, renderer of consultation services or advice or otherwise (other than as the holder of less than 2% of the outstanding stock of a
publicly-traded corporation), either alone or in association with others, in the operation of any aspect of any type of business or enterprise engaged
in any aspect of the Covered Business.






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 10













(ii)    The
Executive agrees that during the term of this Agreement (including any extensions thereof) and for the twenty-four (24) months thereafter, he shall not
(i) directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit any of the employees, agents, consultants, or representatives of the Employer or affiliates of
the Employer to leave any of such entities; or (ii) directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit any of the employees, agents, consultants or
representatives of the Employer or affiliates of the Employer to become employees, agents, representatives or consultants of any other person or
entity.



(iii)    The
Executive understands that the provisions of Sections 8(a)(i) and (ii) may limit his ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business
of the Employer but nevertheless agrees and hereby acknowledges that the restrictions and limitations thereof are reasonable in scope, area, and
duration, are reasonably necessary to protect the goodwill and business interests of the Employer, and that the consideration provided under this
Agreement is sufficient to justify the restrictions contained in such provisions. Accordingly, in consideration thereof and in light of the
Executive’s education, skills and abilities, the Executive agrees that he will not assert that, and it should not be considered that, such
provisions are either unreasonable in scope, area, or duration, or will prevent him from earning a living, or otherwise are void, voidable, or
unenforceable or should be voided or held unenforceable.



(b)    Enforcement.



(i)    The
parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the covenants and agreements contained herein are reasonable in scope, area, and duration and necessary to
protect the reasonable competitive business interests of the Employer, including, without limitation, the value of the proprietary information and
goodwill of the Employer.



(ii)    The
Executive agrees that the covenants and undertakings contained in Section 8 of this Agreement relate to matters which are of a special, unique and
extraordinary character and that the Employer cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law in the event the Executive
breaches any of these covenants or undertakings. Therefore, the Executive agrees that the Employer shall be entitled, as a matter of course, without
the need to prove irreparable injury, to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction,
restraining any violation or threatened violation of any of such terms by the Executive and such other persons as the court shall order. The Executive
agrees to pay costs and legal fees incurred by the Employer in obtaining such injunction.



(iii)    Rights and remedies provided for in this Section 8(b) are cumulative and shall be in addition to rights and
remedies otherwise available to the parties under any other agreement or applicable law.



(iv)    In
the event that any provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be held invalid, unreasonable or unenforceable in any circumstances, the parties
hereto agree that the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision of this






EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – Page 11














Agreement to other
circumstances shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is held
to be unenforceable because of the scope or duration of or the area covered by such provision, the parties hereto agree that the court or arbitrator
making such determination shall reduce the scope, duration and/or area of such provision (and shall substitute appropriate provisions for any such
unenforceable provisions) in order to make such provision enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, and/or shall delete specific words and
phrases, and such modified provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. The parties hereto recognize that if, in any judicial proceeding,
a court shall refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants contained in this Agreement, then that unenforceable covenant contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed eliminated from these provisions to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. In the event that
any court or arbitrator determines that the time period or the area, or both, are unreasonable and that any of the covenants is to that extent
unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that such covenants will remain in full force and effect, first, for the greatest time period, and second, in
the greatest geographical area that would not render them unenforceable.



(v)    In the
