5.
Compensation upon Termination.


 


(a)
Severance. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or provide
to the Executive the following amounts through the Termination Date: any earned but unpaid Base Salary, unpaid expense and benefits reimbursements,
any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus, any accrued and unused vacation days (the “Accrued Obligations”) on or before
the time required by law but in no event more than 30 days after the Executive’s Termination Date. Additionally, unless the Executive
is terminated under Section 4(c), the Company shall also provide one year’s COBRA and two year’s salary.


 


(b)
No Mitigation or Offset. In the event of any termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive shall be under no
obligation to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and there shall be no
offset against any amounts due under this Agreement on account of any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that Executive
may obtain.


 


(c)
Effect of Termination as Officer on Board Position. Any termination of the Executive with respect to the Executive’s standing
as an executive officer must expressly designate which such role is subject to termination. The termination of the Executive as an Officer
will not thereby terminate the Executive’s Board status.


 


(d)
Death; Disability. If the Executive’s employment terminates because of her death as provided in section 4(a) or because
of Disability as provided in Section 4(b), then the Executive (or her authorized representative or beneficiary) shall be entitled to
the following:


 


(i)
the Accrued obligations earned through the applicable Termination Date (payable on or before the time required by law but in no event
more than30 days after the applicable Termination Date);


 


(ii)
a pro-rata of the Executive’s Annual Bonus, if any, for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s termination occurs (determined
by multiplying the amount of such bonus which would be due for the full fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days during the fiscal year of termination that the Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365) payable
at the same time bonuses for such year are paid to other senior executives of the Company;


 


(iii)
vest the Executive on the applicable Termination Date for any and all previously granted outstanding equity-incentive awards subject
to time-based vesting criteria as if the Executive continued to provide services to the Company for 12 months following the applicable
Termination Date;


 




    	5



     


    

 


(iv)
Subject to the Executive’s or, in the event of her death, her eligible dependents’ timely election of continuation of coverage
under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall reimburse the Executive
dependents’ participation in the Company’s group health plan (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the terms
of such plan) which covers the Executive (and the Executive’s eligible dependents) for a period of eighteen (18) months, provided
that the Executive is eligible and remains eligible for COBRA coverage; and provided, further, that in the event that the Executive obtains
other employment that offers group health benefits, such continuation of coverage by the Company shall immediately cease. If the reimbursement
of any COBRA premiums would violate the nondiscrimination rules or cause the reimbursement of claims to be taxable under the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, together with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the
“Act”) or Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), the Company paid premiums shall be treated
as taxable payments and be subject to imputed income tax treatment to the extent necessary to eliminate any discriminatory treatment
or taxation under the Act or Section 105(h) of the Code; and


 


(v)
In the case of a termination due to Disability, in addition to the aforementioned awards, continuation of Base Salary in effect on Termination
Date until the earlier of (A) the 12 month anniversary of the Termination Date, and (B) the date Executive is eligible to commence receiving
payments under the Company’s long-term disability policy. If the net compensation from the Base Salary is greater than the net
compensation from the long-term disability policy, the Company, through the 12 month anniversary of the Termination Date will compensate
the Executive the difference in net compensation.


 


6.
Section 409A Compliance.


 


(a)
All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred
by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable,
but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense
was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind
benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind
benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.


 


(b)
To the extent that any of the payments or benefits provided for in Section 5(b), (c) or (d) are deemed to constitute non-qualified deferred
compensation benefits subject to Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), the following
interpretations apply to Section 5:


 


(i)
Any termination of the Executive’s employment triggering payment of benefits under Section 5(b), (c) or (d) must constitute a “separation
from service” under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) before distribution of such benefits
can commence. To the extent that the termination of the Executive’s employment does not constitute a separation of service under
Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) (as the result of further services that are reasonably anticipated
to be provided by the Executive to the Company or any of its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates at the time the Executive’s employment
terminates), any benefits payable under Section 5(b), (c) or (d) that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code
shall be delayed until after the date of a subsequent event constituting a separation of service under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the
Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h). For purposes of clarification, this Section 6(b)(i) shall not cause any forfeiture of benefits
on the Executive’s part, but shall only act as a delay until such time as a “separation from service” occurs.


 


(ii)
If the Executive is a “specified employee” (as that term is used in Section 409A of the Code and regulations and other guidance
issued thereunder) on the date her separation from service becomes effective, any benefits payable under Section 5(b), (c) or (d) that
constitute non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code shall be delayed until the earlier of (A) the business
day following the six-month anniversary of the date her separation from service becomes effective, and (B) the date of the Executive’s
death, but only to the extent necessary to avoid such penalties under Section 409A of the Code. On the earlier of (A) the business day
following the six-month anniversary of the date her separation from service becomes effective, and (B) the Executive’s death, the
Company shall pay the Executive in a lump sum the aggregate value of the non-qualified deferred compensation that the Company otherwise
would have paid the Executive prior to that date under Section 5(b), (c) or (d) of this Agreement.


 




    	6



     


    

 


(iii)
It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided under Section 5(b), (c) or (d) of this Agreement shall be
treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.


 


(iv)
Neither the Company nor the Executive shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except
to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A of the Code.


 


7.
Excess Parachute Payments.


 


(a)
To the extent that any payment, benefit or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive by the Company or any of its
affiliates, whether paid or payable, provided or to be provided, or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any accelerated vesting of stock options or other equity-based awards) (collectively, the
“Total Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), then the Total Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the maximum amount
of the Total Payments (after reduction) shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than the amount which would cause the Total Payments to be subject
to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if the Total Payments so reduced result in the Executive receiving a
net after tax amount that exceeds the net after tax amount the Executive would receive if the Total Payments were not reduced and were
instead subject to the excise tax imposed on excess parachute payments by Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Executive shall have given
prior written notice to the Company to effectuate a reduction in the Total Payments if such a reduction is required, any such notice
consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest thereunder, the
Company shall reduce or eliminate the Total Payments by first reducing or eliminating any cash severance benefits (with the payments
to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of stock options or similar
awards, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of restricted stock or similar awards, then by reducing or eliminating
any other remaining Total Payments. The preceding provisions of this Section 7(a) shall take precedence over the provisions of any other
plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.


 


(b)
If the Total Payments to the Executive are reduced in accordance with Section 7(a), as a result of the uncertainty in the application
of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial reduction under Section 7(a), it is possible that Total Payments to the Executive
which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”) or that Total Payments to the
Executive which were made should not have been made (“Overpayment”). If an Underpayment has occurred, the amount of
any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. In the event of an Overpayment, then
the Executive shall promptly repay to the Company the amount of any such Overpayment together with interest on such amount (at the same
rate as is applied to determine the present value of payments under Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereto), from the date
the reimbursable payment was received by the Executive to the date the same is repaid to the Company.

8.
Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenants.


 


(a)
Covenant Against Disclosure. All Confidential Information (defined below) relating to the Business of the Company and its affiliates
is, shall be and shall remain the sole property and confidential business information of them, free of any rights of the Executive. The

customers, clients, investors or other third parties with whom the Company and its affiliates hereto have relationships or conduct business

in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Executive from reporting, without first notifying the Company or otherwise, possible
violations of law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity.


 


(b)
Return of Company Documents. On the Termination Date or on any prior date upon the Company’s written demand, the Executive
will return all Confidential Information in her possession, directly or indirectly, that is in written or other tangible form (together
with all duplicates thereof).


 


(c)
Further Covenants. During the Term and through the first anniversary of the Termination Date, the Executive shall not, directly
or indirectly, take any of the following actions, and, to the extent the Executive owns, manages, operates, controls, is employed by
or participates in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or is connected in any manner with, any business, the Executive
will use her best efforts to ensure that such business does not take any of the following actions:


 


(i)

or to reduce the amount of business any customer does with the Company or its affiliates;


 


(ii)

persuade or attempt to persuade any employee of the Company or its affiliates to leave the employ of the Company or its affiliates, or
hire or engage, directly or indirectly, any individual who was an employee of the Company or its affiliates within 1 year prior to the
Executive’s Termination Date, unless such employee was terminated by the Company. It shall not be a breach of this provision if
the Executive hires one non-executive level employee of the Company within 1 year of the Termination Date.


 


9.
D&O Insurance. At the request of the Executive, the Company obtain and continue for as long as Executive is employed by the
Company, Directors and Officers insurance coverage (“D & O Insurance”), at levels no less than $5,000,000 with an insurance
company rated “A” or higher. In the event that Company elects to change coverage or carriers for its D & O Insurance,
Company shall notify Executive of such change and purchase, at a minimum, a three-year tail policy for such former insurance policy at
the sole expense of Company and deliver evidence of such tail policy to Executive within, five (5) days after termination of Company’s
existing D & O Insurance. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment the Company shall purchase, at a minimum, a three-year
tail policy at the sole expense of Company and deliver evidence of such tail policy to Executive.

10.
No Disparagement. During the Term and through the second anniversary of the Termination Date, the Executive will not make public
statements or communications that disparage the Company or any of its businesses, services, products, affiliates or current, former or
future directors and executive officers in their capacity as such. During the Term and through the second anniversary of the Termination
Date, the Company will instruct its directors and executives not to make public statements or communications that disparage the Executive.
The foregoing obligations shall not be violated by truthful statements to any governmental agency or entity, required governmental testimony
or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings).


 


11.
Non-Compete. During the term of this Agreement and for three year after the termination of this Agreement the Executive shall
not, except as a passive investor holding 5% or less of the equity securities of a publicly traded company, have an equity, management,
employment, consulting relationship with any person or entity that directly competes with the Company. In addition to the limitations
contained in the preceding sentence, during the term of this Agreement and for one year after the termination of this Agreement, Employee
will not engage in any form of commercial enterprise with any of the Company’s customers or potential customers the Company is
currently in discussions with, other than for the retail purchase of food as a normal consumer. If any of the covenants contained in
this section or any part thereof, are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because of the duration or geographic
scope of such provision, the activity limited by or the subject of such provision and/or the geographic area covered thereby, then the
court making such determination shall construe such restriction so as to thereafter be limited or reduced to be enforceable to the greatest
extent permissible by applicable law.


 


12.
Indemnification. During the Term and thereafter, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Executive and the Executive’s
heirs and representatives harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against any and all damages, costs, liabilities, losses and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a result of any claim or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative), or any threatened claim or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), against the Executive
that arises out of or relates to the Executive’s service as an officer, director or employee, as the case may be, of the Company,
or the Executive’s service in any such capacity or similar capacity with any affiliate of the Company or other entity at the Company’s
request, both prior to and after the Effective Date, and to promptly advance to the Executive or the Executive’s heirs or representatives
such expenses, including litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, upon written request with appropriate documentation of such expense
and the Company shall also indemnify Executive for any claims related to this Agreement. During the Term and thereafter, the Company
also shall provide the Executive with coverage under its then current directors’ and officers’ liability policy to the same
extent that it provides such coverage to its other executive officers. If the Executive has any knowledge of any actual or threatened
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, as to which the Executive may request indemnity
under this provision, the Executive will give the Company prompt written notice thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the Executive’s right to indemnification. The Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such proceeding
and the Executive will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such defense. To the extent that the Executive in good faith determines
that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Company and the Executive in connection with the defense of a proceeding,
the Executive shall so notify the Company and shall be entitled to separate representation at the Company’s expense by counsel
selected by the Executive which counsel shall cooperate, and coordinate the defense, with the Company’s counsel and minimize the
expense of such separate representation to the extent consistent with the Executive’s separate defense. This Section 14 shall continue
in effect after the termination of the Executive’s employment or the termination of this Agreement.

or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law. The Company and Executive agree that this agreement is subject to review by tax counsel and in the event
any provision of this Agreement would result in severe negative tax treatment for the Executive or the Company such provision will be
