WHEREAS,
the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) desires to obtain the advice and counsel of the Adviser regarding
matters within the Adviser’s experience and expertise and the Company’s actual or potential business, technology and products;


 


WHEREAS,
the Board would like to engage the Adviser as an independent contractor to act as Chief Scientific Adviser to the Board, and the Adviser
is willing to provide advice and services to the Board on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and


 


WHEREAS,
the Company wishes to protect and preserve the confidentiality of certain Confidential Information (as defined herein) which the Company
considers vital to its business and goodwill and protect it from misuse.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:


 


1.
Service as Chief Scientific Adviser. The Adviser shall serve as Chief Scientific
Adviser to the members of the Board on a non-exclusive basis for the term of this Agreement. The Adviser shall perform services hereunder
as an independent contractor and not as an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of the Company. The Adviser shall have no power
or authority to act for, represent or bind the Company or its affiliates in any manner whatsoever, except as may be expressly agreed
on each occasion, in writing, by the Company and the Board. The Adviser agrees to take no action that expresses or implies that the Adviser
has such power or authority.


 


2.
Duties. During the term of this Agreement, the Adviser will provide advice and counsel
to the members of the Board as may be reasonably requested from time to time, including by rendering the services described on Schedule
0 to this Agreement to the Board. The Adviser will report directly to the members of the Board in the course of performing the Adviser’s
duties, unless otherwise expressly directed by the members of the Board.


 


3.
Term. This Agreement shall have a term of one (1) year, and shall renew automatically
for successive one (1) year periods, provided that either party may terminate the Agreement, with or without reason, by written notice
to the other, and provided further that the provisions of Section 4.2, Section 6, Section 7 and Section 9.2 shall
survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated by either party, pro rata fees and
unpaid expenses through the termination date shall be paid to the Adviser promptly thereafter.


 






    


     

    

 


4.

4.1
As compensation for the Adviser’s services under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Adviser the compensation described
on Schedule 0 to this Agreement.


 


4.2
The Adviser agrees to pay all federal, state and local taxes applicable to any compensation paid to the Adviser pursuant to this Agreement.
The terms and provisions of this Section 4.2 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.


 


5.
Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse the Adviser promptly for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the Adviser’s services, provided that any single expense item in excess of $1,500 or monthly
expense in excess of $3,000 in the aggregate shall require pre-approval by the Company, and the Adviser shall provide appropriate documentation
of all expenses.


 


6.
Indemnification. In the performance of services under this Agreement, the Adviser
shall be obligated to act only in good faith, and shall not be liable to the Company for errors in judgment that are not the result of
willful misconduct. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Adviser harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, expenses,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Adviser may become subject (including the costs of any investigation and all reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs) or incurred by the Adviser, to the fullest extent lawful, in connection with any pending or threatened
litigation, legal claim or proceeding arising out of or in connection with the services rendered by the Adviser under this Agreement;
provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any such losses, claims, related expenses, damages or liabilities
arising out of or in connection with the Adviser’s willful misconduct or fraud, or material breach this Agreement. The terms and
provisions of this Section 6 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.


 


7.

7.1
As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all confidential or proprietary technical, trade
and business information furnished, in any medium, or disclosed in any form or method, including orally, by the Company to the Adviser,
or discovered by the Adviser through any means, including observation, including, but not limited to, information about the Company’s
employees, officers, directors, suppliers, customers, affiliates, businesses and business relationships; manufacturing processes and
methods, operating technique, practice, course of dealing, plan or strategy, sources of supply, customer lists and markets; sales, profits,

    2


     

    

 


(b)
information that subsequently becomes publicly available or generally known in the industry through no fault of the Adviser, provided
that such information shall be deemed Confidential Information until such time as it becomes publicly available or generally known.


 


7.2
The Adviser shall retain all Confidential Information in trust for the sole benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and shall
comply with any and all procedures adopted from time to time to protect and preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information.
The Adviser shall not at any time, during or after the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, divulge, use or permit the use
of any Confidential Information, except as required by the Adviser’s services under this Agreement. Adviser agrees to employ reasonable
steps to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement
and upon the Company’s request during the term of this Agreement, the Adviser shall promptly return any and all tangible Confidential
Information (whether written or electronic) to the Company, including all copies, abstracts or derivatives thereof.


 


7.3
The Company shall own all right, title and interest relating to all inventions, improvements, discoveries, methods, developments, software,
and works of authorship, whether patentable or not, which are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by the Adviser or jointly
with others in the course of the Adviser’s performance of services under this Agreement or using the Company’s Confidential
Information (collectively, “Developments”). The Adviser agrees to make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of
all Developments and provide all Developments to the Company. Adviser hereby assigns to the Company or its designee all of the Adviser’s
right, title and interest in and to any and all Developments. The Adviser agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during and
after the term of this Agreement, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of intellectual property rights (both
in the United States and foreign countries) relating to any Developments. The Adviser shall sign all documents which may be necessary
or desirable in order to protect the Company’s rights in and to any Developments, and the Adviser hereby irrevocably designates
and appoints each officer of the Company as the Adviser’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such documents on the Adviser’s
behalf, and to take any and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in
any Developments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, this Section 7.3 does not apply to an invention for which no
equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on the Adviser’s
own time, unless the invention relates to the business of the Company or to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research
or development, or the invention results from any work performed by the Adviser for the Company.


 


7.4
The Adviser acknowledges that the Company competes with other businesses that are or could be located anywhere; that the provisions of
this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the Company’s business interests; and that the unauthorized
disclosure, use or disposition of any Confidential Information in breach of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm and significant
injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that the Company shall have the right to immediate
injunctive relief in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the obligations in this Section 7, without security or bond,
in addition to any other remedies that may be available to the Company at law or in equity. The terms and provisions of this Section
7 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.


 


7.5
As additional protection for Confidential Information, Adviser agrees that during the period it is providing services under this Agreement,
and for one year thereafter, Adviser will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of the Company to leave the Company for
any reason.

activities are consistent with the Adviser remaining an adviser to the Company.

or written, between the parties with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended,

permitted by law. The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part
of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by electronic signature in any number of counterparts, each of which together shall
