lump sum payment required by this Section shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days following the Termination Date.


 


(b)
Definition of Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of the following:

trade secrets of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company); (iii) Executive’s failure to perform, or continuing
neglect in the performance of, duties lawfully assigned to Executive by the Company’s Board of Directors, provided that
the Company shall have provided Executive with written notice of such failure or neglect and the Executive has been afforded at
least ten (10) business days to cure such failure or neglect; (iv) Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendre
(no contest) to, any felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or fraud, or of any other crime involving material harm

faith has had a material adverse effect upon the business or reputation of the Company; (vi) any other material breach or violation

voluntary resignation upon any of the following events without Executive’s written consent: (i) a material reduction in
the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities (and not simply a change in title or reporting relationships); (ii)
a material reduction by the Company in the Executive’s compensation (for avoidance of doubt, a ten percent (10%) reduction
in the Executive’s Base Salary shall constitute a material reduction in Executive’s compensation); (iii) any breach
by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement that results in a material negative change to Executive; or (iv) the failure
of any buyer or acquirer of the Company in a change of control to assume the Company’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding

days of the initial existence of such event, the Company does not cure such event within thirty (30) days following receipt of
the Good Reason Notice from the Executive and the Executive terminates his employment during the ninety (90)-day period beginning

6.
Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement and Cooperation.


 


6.1
Confidentiality. The Company and the Executive acknowledge that the services to be performed by the Executive under this
Agreement are unique and extraordinary and, as a result of such employment, the Executive shall be in possession of Confidential
Information relating to the business practices of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company
Group”). The term “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all information (oral
and written) relating to the Company Group, or any of their respective activities, or of the clients, customers, acquisition targets,
investment models or business practices of the Company Group, other than such information which (i) is generally available to
the public or within the relevant trade or industry, other than as the result of breach of the provisions of this Section, or
(ii) the Executive is required to disclose under any applicable laws, regulations or directives of any government agency, tribunal
or authority having jurisdiction in the matter or under subpoena or other process of law. The Executive shall not, during his
employment nor at any time thereafter (except as may be required in the course of the performance of his duties hereunder and
except with respect to any litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, including the enforcement hereof), directly or
indirectly, use, communicate, disclose or disseminate to any person, firm or corporation any Confidential Information acquired
by the Executive during, or as a result of, his employment with the Company, without the prior written consent of the Company.
The confidentiality obligations contained in this Section 6.1 shall be in addition to any other confidentiality agreement entered
into between the Company and Executive, including the proprietary information and invention assignment agreement to be signed
by Executive as per the Company’s policy with respect to all employees.

6.2
Non-Disparagement. At no time during or within three (3) years after Executive’s cessation of employment for any
reason shall the Executive, directly or indirectly, disparage the Company Group or any of the Company Group’s past or present
employees, officers, directors, attorneys, products or services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall
prevent the Executive from making any truthful statement to the extent (a) necessary to rebut any untrue public statements made
about him; (b) necessary with respect to any litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement; (c) required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or
legislative body (including any committee thereof) with jurisdiction over such person; or (d) made as good faith competitive statements
in the ordinary course of business.


 


6.3
Cooperation. Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Company (including from the Company’s outside counsel),
the Executive agrees that while employed by the Company and thereafter, the Executive will respond and provide information with
regard to matters of which the Executive has knowledge as a result of the Executive’s employment with the Company, and will
provide reasonable assistance to the Company Group and their respective representatives in defense of any claims that may be made
against the Company Group (or any member thereof), and will provide reasonable assistance to the Company Group in the prosecution
of any claims that may be made by the Company Group (or any member thereof), to the extent that such claims may relate to matters
related to the Executive’s period of employment with the Company (or any predecessors). If the Executive is required to
provide any services pursuant to this Section following the cessation of his employment, then the Company: (i) shall promptly
compensate the Executive for all time actually incurred in these activities at an hourly rate of pay equal to the Executive’s
most recent annual Base Salary divided by 2080 hours; and (ii) shall promptly reimburse the Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket
travel, lodging, communication and duplication expenses incurred in connection with the performance of such services and in accordance
with the Company’s business expense reimbursement policies.


 


6.4
Injunctive Relief; Interpretation. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Company, the Executive acknowledges
that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 6 may result in the material and irreparable injury to the Company,
or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries, for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to
measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such breach or threat, the Company shall be entitled to
a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the Executive from engaging in activities
prohibited by Section 6. If for any reason it is held that the restrictions under this Section 6 are not reasonable or that consideration
therefor is inadequate, such restrictions shall be interpreted or modified to include as much of the duration or scope of identified
in this Section as will render such restrictions valid and enforceable.


 


6.5
Return of Company Property. Upon the cessation of Executive’s employment for any reason whatsoever, all Company Group
property that is in the possession of the Executive shall be promptly returned to the Company, including, without limitation,
all documents, records, notebooks, equipment, price lists, specifications, programs, customer and prospective customer lists,
supplier lists and any other materials that contain Confidential Information which are in the possession of the Executive, including
all copies thereof whether in electronic or paper form. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Executive shall be entitled
to retain (i) papers and other materials of a personal nature, including, but not limited to, photographs, correspondence, personal
diaries, calendars and rolodexes, personal files and phone books, (ii) information showing his compensation or relating to reimbursement
of expenses, (iii) information that he reasonably believes may be needed for tax purposes and (iv) copies of plans, programs and
agreements relating to his employment, or termination thereof, with the Company.
