(b)          Separation
Payments. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (including as a result of the Executive’s
death or Disability) following the end of the Initial term, by Executive for Good Reason, or the Initial Term is not renewed by
the Company, then the Company shall: (i) subject to Section 6, continue to pay to Executive one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Base

Termination Date, at the rate in effect at the time of termination, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
practices; (ii) pay to Executive a single lump sum payment of $100,000, such amount representing the guaranteed minimum Quarterly

options, including, without limitation, the Option, any Subsequent Option, and any Milestone Option, such that all outstanding
options are fully vested as of the Termination Date.


 


(c)          Cause.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means any of the following: (i) Executive’s engaging in any material
acts of fraud, theft, or embezzlement in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder; (ii) Executive’s conviction
for any felony, including any plea of guilty or nolo contendere; and/or (iii) Executive’s providing services, in any capacity,
to a business that is in direct competition with the Company.


 




    	 	3	 



     


    

 


(d)          Good
Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without Executive’s consent: (i) a reduction
in Executive’s Base Salary; (ii) a diminution in Executive’s duties, authorities, or responsibilities, provided, that
there shall be no Good Reason if Executive is given a position of materially similar overall scope and responsibility at the Company
or its successor or the parent of either thereof following a corporate transaction; or (iii) the Company’s breach of a material
provision of this Agreement, which remains uncured thirty (30) days after reasonably detailed notice from Executive to the Board.
Executive must give the Board notice no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the initial occurrence of the condition
constituting “Good Reason.”


 


(e)          Disability.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful
activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be
expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.


 


(f)           Obligations
of Parent. The Company will cause Parent to assume any obligations under this Agreement should the Company fail to perform
or otherwise breach any obligations under this Agreement.


 


5.           Federal
and State Withholding. The Company shall deduct from the amounts payable to the Executive
pursuant to this Agreement the amount of all required federal, state and local withholding taxes in accordance with the Executive’s
Form W-4 on file with the Company, and all applicable federal employment taxes. 


 


6.    
      Section 409A Compliance.
This Agreement and any payments or benefits provided hereunder shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner
intended to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”). Further, the Company and Executive hereto acknowledge and agree that the form and timing of the
payments and benefits to be provided pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or to comply with, one or
more exceptions to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, Executive shall not be
considered to have terminated employment for purposes of this Agreement and no payments shall be due to Executive under this
Agreement that are payable upon Executive’s termination of employment until Executive would be considered to
have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. In
addition, for purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to Executive pursuant to this
Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. If the Executive is
deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section
409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under
Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or
provided until the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such
“separation from service” of the Executive, and (ii) the date of the Executive’s death, to the extent
required under Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to
this Section 7 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such
delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this
Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. With respect to
expenses eligible for reimbursement under the terms of this Agreement: (i) the amount of such expenses eligible for
reimbursement in any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in another taxable year; and (ii)
any reimbursements of such expenses shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the related expenses were incurred, except, in each case, to the extent that the right to reimbursement does not
provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. In addition,
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company and its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors,
and each of its officers, directors, employees and representatives, neither represent nor warrant the tax treatment under any
federal, state, local, or foreign laws or regulations thereunder (individually and collectively referred to as the
“Tax Laws”) of any payment or benefits contemplated by this Agreement including, but not limited to, when
and to what extent such payments or benefits may be subject to tax, penalties and interest under the Tax Laws. 


 




    	 	4	 



     


    

 


7.           Clawback
Policy. Any amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to recoupment in accordance
with any clawback policy that the Company has adopted or is required in the future to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of
any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required
by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law.


 


8.           Restrictive
Covenant Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the terms and conditions set forth in the
Proprietary Information, Inventions and Non-Solicitation Agreement between Executive and the Company (the “Restrictive
Covenant Agreement”) shall continue to apply, including, without limitation, the terms of the confidentiality, non-solicit,
and non-competition provisions provided therein. 


 


9.           Survival.
Sections 4 through 15 of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective
terms, notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period.


 


10.         Notices.
All notices, requests, demands, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement to any
party hereunder shall be in writing and deemed given if addressed as provided below (or at such other address as the addressee
shall have specified by notice actually received by the addressor) and if either (a) actually delivered in fully legible form,
to such address, (b) in the case of any nationally recognized overnight express mail service, one day shall have elapsed after
the same shall have been deposited with such service or (c) if by email, on the day on which such email was sent.


 


If
to the Company, to the Company’s principal place of business.


 


If
to the Executive, to the address and facsimile last on file with the Company.


 


11.         Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law
or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement or the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction,
but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein.


 


12.         Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the Restrictive Covenant Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings,
agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related in any manner to the subject matter
hereof including, but not limited to any other understandings, agreements or representations between Executive and the Company
or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

and Assigns. This Agreement shall be enforceable by the Executive and the Executive’s
heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives, and by the Company and its successors and assigns.


 


14.         Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflict of laws.


 


15.         Amendment
and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only by the written
agreement of the Company and the Executive, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement
shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement.


 


16.         Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.
