The Parties acknowledge and agree that Employee’s last day of employment with the Company shall be May 2, 2022 (“Separation

(a)              
After the Separation Date, Employee will not hold any position with or on behalf of the Company, its parent corporation, subsidiaries,
divisions, affiliated entities, predecessors, successors and assigns. The Separation Date shall be the termination date of his employment
with the Company for all purposes, including for participation in and coverage under all benefit plans and programs sponsored by or through

of the month in which your Separation Date occurs; and (ii) following the Separation Date, you may elect to continue your medical coverage

policies. For purposes of this agreement Base Salary is updated and defined as the Employee’s current salary.


 


2.                 
In consideration of Employee executing this Agreement within the twenty-one-day period immediately following receipt of
this Agreement (and not revoking acceptance prior to the Release Effective Date, defined below) and Employee’s compliance with this
Agreement the Company agrees to pay to Employee: (i) an amount equal to twelve months of Employee’s current Base Salary at the time
of the Separation Date, less applicable withholdings and deductions, in twenty-six equal bi-weekly installments following the Company’s
standard payroll schedule beginning with the Company’s first scheduled payroll period following Employee’s final paycheck
and Employee’s acceptance and non-revocation of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4, and (ii) reimbursement for Employee’s
actual cost of COBRA payments for a period of twelve months after substantiation with itemized receipts. Employee’s current Base

date of this Agreement shall be the eighth (8th) day following Employee’s signing of this Agreement (the “Release
Effective Date”), provided the Employee does not revoke the Agreement during the revocation period. In the event Employee does not
accept this Agreement as set forth above, or in the event Employee revokes this Agreement during the revocation period, this Agreement,
including but not limited to the obligation of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to provide the payments referred to in
Section 2 above, shall automatically be deemed null and void.


 


5.                 
(a)In consideration of the payments and benefits referred to in Section 2 above, Employee for himself and for his heirs,
executors, and assigns (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Releasors”), forever releases and discharges the Company

stockholders, partners, managers, members, agents, trustees, administrators, employees and assigns (whether acting as agents for such
entities or in their individual capacities) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Releasees”), from any and all claims,
demands, causes of action, fees and liabilities of any kind whatsoever (based upon any legal or equitable theory, whether contractual,
common-law, statutory, decisional, federal, state, local or otherwise), whether known or unknown, which Releasors ever had, now have or
