It is a condition of this offer that, before
starting employment, you will sign Development, Confidentiality, and Noncompetition Agreement and Non-Disclosure Agreement that
contain additional requirements for the protection of Atossa’s business, copies of which are enclosed.


 


We wish to emphasize the importance we
place on the proper treatment of any confidential information with which you may have come into contact in the past. We are offering
you this job based on your skills and abilities and not your possession of any trade secret, confidential or proprietary information.

Either you or Atossa is free to terminate
the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause and without compensation except for time worked. Any statements
to the contrary are not authorized and may not be relied upon. No one except Atossa’s CEO and President has authority to
bind us to an agreement that conflicts with our policy of employment at will, and any such agreement must be in writing and signed
by Atossa’s CEO and President.


 


We look forward to meeting you and working
with you as part of the Atossa team. Please indicate your acceptance of these terms of employment by signing and returning to me
one of the two copies of this letter.
