(b)           
For and in consideration of the Consideration described in paragraph ‎2 above, and other good and valuable
consideration, you, for and on behalf of yourself and your heirs, administrators, spouses, executors and assigns, as of the date hereof,
do fully and forever release, remise and discharge each member of the Company Group and their successors and assigns, together with their
respective current and former officers, directors, partners, members, stockholders (including any management company of a stockholder),
employees and agents (collectively, and with the Company, the “Company Parties”) from any and all claims
whatsoever up to the date hereof which you had, may have had, or now have against the Company Parties, whether known or unknown, for or
by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to your employment or the termination
of your employment with the Company or any member of the Company Group, or your role as a stockholder of the Company, officer, or former
member of the Board (including without limitation any claims to advancement or indemnification), whether for tort, breach of express or
implied employment contract, breach of fiduciary duty, intentional infliction of emotional distress, retaliation, wrongful termination,
unjust dismissal, defamation, libel or slander, or under any federal, state or local law dealing with discrimination based on age, race,
sex, national origin, handicap, religion, disability or sexual orientation, in each case, whether brought in your individual capacity
or derivatively on behalf of the Company or another person. This release of claims includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising

and all other federal, state and local laws, the common law and any other purported restriction on an employer’s right to terminate
the employment of employees. You intend the release contained herein to be a general release of any and all claims to the fullest extent
permissible by law and for the provisions regarding the release of claims against the Company Parties to be construed as broadly as possible,
and hereby incorporate in this release similar federal, state or other laws, all of which you also hereby expressly waive.


 


(c)           
You understand and agree that claims or facts in addition to or different from those which are now known or believed by you to
exist may hereafter be discovered, but it is your intention to fully and forever release, remise and discharge all claims which you had,
may have had, or now have against the Company Parties, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, contingent
or noncontingent, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such additional or different facts. Without limiting the
foregoing, by signing this Agreement, you expressly waive and release any provision of law that purports to limit the scope of a general
release, including any and all rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (or any analogous
law of any other state, to the extent applicable), which provides as follows:


 


“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO
CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE,
AND THAT IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”


 


(d)           
You acknowledge and agree that as of the date you execute this Agreement, you have no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that
give rise or could give rise to any claims under any of the laws listed in the preceding paragraphs.


 


(e)           
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, by executing this Agreement, you are not releasing any claims
relating to: (i) your rights with respect to payment of amounts under this Agreement; (ii) your right to accrued, vested benefits
due to terminated employees under any employee benefit plan of the Company or any other member of the Company Group in which you participated
(excluding any severance or similar plan or policy), in accordance with the terms thereof (including your right to elect COBRA continuation
coverage); (iii) any claims that cannot be waived by law or that arise after the date on which you execute this Agreement; (iv) any
rights or claims under the ADEA that may arise after the date that you execute this Agreement; or (v) your right to directors and officers
liability insurance, as provided by, and in accordance with the terms of, applicable law and the Company’s governing documents.
For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge and agree that the release contained in this Agreement includes all claims relating to or
arising from the 2022 Grant.

You acknowledge and agree that, by virtue of the foregoing, you have waived any relief available to you (including without limitation,
monetary damages, equitable relief and reinstatement) under any of the claims and/or causes of action waived in this paragraph ‎3.
Therefore you agree that you will not accept any award or settlement from any source or proceeding (including but not limited to any proceeding
brought by any other person or by any government agency) with respect to any claim or right waived in this Agreement.

You acknowledge and agree that as of the date of this Agreement, you have reported all accidents, injuries or illnesses relating
to or arising from your employment with the Company or the Company Group and that you have not suffered any on-the-job injury or illness
for which you have not yet filed a claim.


 


4.             
Knowing and Voluntary Waiver. You expressly acknowledge and agree that you:

this Agreement;


 


(c)            are
specifically agreeing to the terms of the release contained in this Agreement because the Company has agreed to provide you the Consideration,

or ever had against the Company Parties, and because of your execution of this Agreement;


 


(d)           
acknowledge that but for your execution of this Agreement, you would not be entitled to the Consideration;


 


(e)           
had or could have the entire Review Period in which to review and consider this Agreement, and that if you execute this Agreement
prior to the expiration of the Review Period, you have voluntarily and knowingly waived the remainder of the Review Period;

understand that, by entering into this Agreement, you do not waive rights or claims under the ADEA that may arise after the date

5.             
No Suit. You represent and warrant that you have not previously filed, and to the maximum extent permitted by law agree
that you will not file or encourage or assist anyone else in filing, a complaint, charge or lawsuit against any of the Company Parties.
If, notwithstanding this representation and warranty, you have filed or file such a complaint, charge or lawsuit, you agree that you shall
cause such complaint, charge or lawsuit to be dismissed with prejudice and shall pay any and all costs required in obtaining dismissal
of such complaint, charge or lawsuit, including without limitation the attorneys’ fees of any of the Company Parties against whom
you have filed such a complaint, charge, or lawsuit. This paragraph 5 shall not apply, however, to any non-waivable right to file
a charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) or similar state agency; provided,
however, that if the EEOC or similar state agency pursues any claims relating to your employment with the Company or any member
of the Company Group, you agree that you shall not be entitled to recover any monetary damages or any other remedies or benefits as a
result and that this Agreement and the Consideration will control as the exclusive remedy and full settlement of all such claims by you,
to the maximum extent permitted by law.

6.             
Post-Termination Consulting Services.


 


(a)           
Consulting Period. You agree that during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Separation Date (“Consulting
Period”), you will serve as an independent contractor of the Company and will facilitate the orderly transfer of work to
other employees of the Company, including to a new Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In furtherance of the foregoing, during the
Consulting Period, you specifically agree to cooperate with members of the Board, management, external counsel to the Company, your direct
reports and other employees of the Company Group, transfer account information, provide information, answer questions, assist the Company
in the negotiation of invoices, and provide guidance as reasonably requested by such aforementioned persons relating to any matter on
which you will have worked prior to the Separation Date or of which you have knowledge (“Consulting Services”).
You agree to perform the Consulting Services as and when reasonably requested by the Company from time to time from your home office,
and will not be required to travel on behalf of the Company to perform the Consulting Services. You agree to perform the Consulting Services
in good faith, and during the Consulting Period, you agree to abide by the Company’s policies as may be in place from time to time.
You may not assign your rights or delegate your obligations under this paragraph 6 either in whole or in part without the prior written
consent of the Company.


 


(b)           
Consulting Fee; Expenses. In consideration for your provision of the Consulting Services in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, you will be entitled to receive $433,333, payable in twelve (12) installments at the end of each month of the Consulting
Period in arrears (“Consulting Fee”).


 


(c)           
Termination. The obligations under this paragraph 6 will automatically expire on the last day of the Consulting Period
without further obligation by either party under this paragraph 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may terminate the Consulting
Period upon your material breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Restrictive Covenants (as defined below); provided,
that prior to such termination, you will be provided notice from the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the basis on which the
Company is terminating the Consulting Period and, if the condition is curable, you will then have fifteen (15) business days from receipt
of such notice during which you may remedy the condition. If full cure is made by you within such fifteen (15) business day cure period,
as determined by the Board, your engagement will be deemed to have continued under and subject to the provisions of this paragraph 6
for the remainder of the Consulting Period.


 


(d)          
Taxes; Independent Contractor Status. During the Consulting Period, you shall be an independent contractor and not an employee
of the Company, and shall have no right or authority to make or undertake any promise, warranty, or representation or to execute any contract
or otherwise assume any obligation or responsibility, in the name of the Company or any member of the Company Group. As an independent
contractor providing the Consulting Services, you will be solely responsible for remitting to the applicable taxing authorities all applicable
taxes payable in respect of amounts payable to you under paragraph 6(b) above, and the Company will not withhold for taxes from any
such amounts. In addition, you understand and agree that you are not eligible by virtue of your engagement as a consultant hereunder to
participate in any of the employee benefit plans and programs or arrangements of the Company Group, including, without limitation, any
bonus, stock option, pension, profit sharing, medical, dental, disability or life insurance or similar benefits provided to employees
of the Company Group (which participation shall have terminated as of the Separation Date), or in any vacation or illness payments, except
as set forth in the Consideration in Section 2(c) and the option to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock of the Company and 23,000 restricted
stock units previously granted to you. In the event that this consulting arrangement is reclassified as employment by any governmental
agency or court, you further agree that you will not seek to participate in or benefit from any of the employee benefit plans or programs
of the Company Group as a result of such reclassification. You agree that, during and after the Consulting Period, you will indemnify,
defend and hold the Company harmless from all taxes, interest, penalties, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses, including reasonable
legal fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals, arising from your failure or alleged failure to make the required reports
and payments for applicable taxes. In addition, during and after the Consulting Period, you will indemnify, defend and hold the Company
harmless with respect to any amounts that you may be required to pay to any taxing authority as required withholding or the employer portion
of any employment taxes due as a result of any claim by such taxing authority that you were an employee of the Company, including, without
limitation, any interest or penalties imposed as a result of such claim.

7.             
No Re-Employment. You hereby agree to waive any and all claims to re-employment with the Company or any other member of
the Company Group. You affirmatively agree not to seek further employment with the Company or any other member of the Company Group. You
acknowledge that if you re-apply for or seek employment with the Company or any other member of the Company Group, the Company’s
or any other member of the Company Group’s refusal to hire you based on this provision will provide a complete defense to any claims
arising from your attempt to apply for employment.


 


8.            
Company Release. For and in consideration of your release of claims against the Company Parties as set forth in paragraph ‎‎3
above, the Restrictive Covenants and other good and valuable consideration, the Company, for and on behalf of the Company Group, as of
the date hereof, does fully and forever release, remise and discharge you and your heirs, administrators and assigns from any and all
claims whatsoever up to the date hereof which it had, may have had, or now has against you, whether known or unknown, for or by reason
of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to your employment or the termination of
your employment with the Company or any member of the Company Group, but excluding (i) claims with respect to any obligation under
this Agreement, the Restrictive Covenants or the governing documents of the Company Group; (ii) any claims that cannot be waived
by law; (iii) claims that are based upon any of your acts that involve fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement, or theft, in each case,
of which the Board does not have knowledge of as of the date hereof; and (iv) cross-claims in any stockholder derivative lawsuit.
The Company intends the release contained herein to be a general release of any and all claims to the fullest extent permissible by law
and for the provisions regarding the release of claims to be construed as broadly as possible, and hereby incorporates in this release
similar federal, state or other laws, all of which the Company also hereby expressly waives. The Company understands and agrees that claims
or facts in addition to or different from those which are now known or believed by the Company to exist may hereafter be discovered, but
it is the Company’s intention to fully and forever release, remise and discharge all claims which it had, may have had, or now has
against you, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, contingent or noncontingent, without regard to
the subsequent discovery or existence of such additional or different facts. Without limiting the foregoing, by signing this Agreement,
the Company expressly waives and releases any provision of law that purports to limit the scope of a general release.


 


9.             
Successors and Assigns. The provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of your heirs, executors, administrators, legal
personal representatives and assigns and shall be binding upon your heirs, executors, administrators, legal personal representatives and
assigns.


 


10.          
Severability; Third-Party Beneficiaries. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision,
however, shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. You acknowledge and
agree that each of the Company Parties shall be a third-party beneficiary to the releases set forth in paragraph ‎3 above,
with full rights to enforce this Agreement and the matters documented herein.


 


11.           
Non-Disparagement. You agree that you will make no disparaging or defamatory comments regarding any member of the Company
Group or their respective current or former directors, officers, employees, members, stockholders (including any management company of
a stockholder), or affiliates in any respect or make any comments concerning any aspect of your relationship with any member of the Company
Group or the conduct or events which precipitated your termination of employment from any member of the Company Group. The Company agrees
to direct the Company’s current directors and executive officers not to make any disparaging or defamatory comments regarding you
in any respect or make any comments concerning any aspect of your relationship with any member of the Company Group. Your obligations
under this paragraph ‎11 extend to, but are not limited to, text messages, e-mail communications, and comments or postings
on blogs, comment boards or social media websites including, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. Further, nothing in this
Agreement prohibits you from speaking with law enforcement, the EEOC, any state or local division of human rights or fair employment agency,
or your attorney. This paragraph ‎11 shall not prevent the truthful testimony by
any individual or entity in a legal proceeding or pursuant to a governmental, administrative or regulatory investigation.

the Company and/or any other member of the Company Group, you will give prompt written notice of such request to the Company Representative,

of the requesting person or entity to such disclosure. The Company agrees to reimburse you for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
at the request of the Company with respect to your compliance with this paragraph 12(b).


 


13.          
Affirmation of Continuing Obligations. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the execution of this Agreement does not alter

Services, if you discover after the Separation Date that you have retained any proprietary and/or confidential information (including,
without limitation, proprietary and/or confidential information contained in any electronic documents or email systems in your possession

18.           
Remedies for Breach. You acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection
of the Company and that the Company may be irreparably damaged if these provisions are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, you agree
that, in addition to any other relief or remedies available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to obtain appropriate temporary,
preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief for the purposes of restraining you from any actual or threatened breach
of or otherwise enforcing these provisions and no bond or security will be required in connection therewith.


 


19.           
Construction. The section or paragraph headings or titles herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be
deemed a part of this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each party has reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions
of this Agreement and has had the opportunity to contribute to its revision. Accordingly, the rule of construction to the effect that
ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party, including, but not limited to Section 1654 of the California Civil Code, shall
not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. Rather, the terms of this Agreement shall be construed in a reasonable manner
to effect the intentions of both parties hereto and not in favor or against either party.


 


20.           
Section 409A. Payments and/or benefits under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), and this Agreement will be interpreted
to achieve this result. For purposes of this Agreement, each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate
payment for purposes of Section 409A. In no event is the Company responsible for any tax or penalty owed by you (other than for withholding
obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A) with respect to payments under this Agreement.


 


21.           
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument, and electronically delivered copies of executed counterparts shall be deemed to be originals
for all purposes.
