prior to the expiration date. In the absence of such notice, this Agreement shall be renewed on the same terms and conditions
contained herein for a term of one (1) year from the date of expiration. The parties expressly agree that designation of a term

3.4 Assignment and Disclosure of Inventions.


 


(a) From and
after the date the Employee first became employed with the Company, the Employee hereby agrees to promptly disclose in confidence
to the Company all inventions, improvements, designs, original works of authorship, formulas, processes, compositions of matter,
computer software programs, databases, mask works, and trade secrets (“Inventions”), whether or not
patentable, copyrightable or protectable as trade secrets, that are made or conceived or first reduced, to practice or created
by the Employee, either alone or jointly with others, during the period and in the course of the Employee’s employment and
which relate in any way to the business of the Company.


 


(b) Employee
hereby acknowledges that copyrightable works prepared by the Employee within the scope of the Employee’s employment are
“works for hire” under the United States Copyright Act and that the Company will be considered the author thereof.
The Employee hereby agrees that all Inventions that (a) are developed using equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secrets of
the Company, (b) result from work performed by the Employee for the Company, or (c) relate to the Company’s business or
current or anticipated research and development, will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and are hereby assigned
by the Employee to the Company.

do not relate to the present or planned business or research and development of the Company and which are not made and conceived
by the Employee during normal working hours, on the Company’s premises and/or using the Company’s tools, devices,
equipment or proprietary information. The Employee understands that, to the extent this Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of any state which precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made
by an employee, this Section 3.4(c) shall be interpreted not to apply to any invention which a court of competent jurisdiction
rules and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes. The Employee also hereby expressly waives all claims to moral rights
in any Inventions.






    	5



    	



    

(d) Employee
agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during and after Employee’s employment with the Company, with respect to
the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights (both in the United
States and foreign countries) relating to Inventions. The Employee shall sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright
applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney,
which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development. The Employee
further agrees that if the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the signature of the Employee on any such papers,
any Employee officer of the Company shall be entitled to execute any such papers as the agent and the attorney-in-fact of the
Employee, and the Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each Employee officer of the Company as Employee’s
agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on Employee’s behalf, and to take any and all actions as the Company,
in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Invention, under the
conditions described in this sentence.


 


3.5 Publication of Covenants to Subsequent
Employers or Business Associates of Employee. Employee agrees that if Employee is offered employment or the opportunity
to enter into any business venture as owner, partner, consultant or other capacity in a business while the covenants in Section
3 of this Agreement are in effect, Employee will inform Employee’s potential employer, partner, co-owner and/or others involved
in managing the business which Employee had an opportunity to join of the existence of this Agreement and will provide such person
or persons with a copy of this Agreement. Employee authorizes the Company to provide copies of this Agreement to any of the persons
or entities described above and to make such persons aware of Employee’s obligations under this Agreement.


 


3.6 Injunctive Relief from Violation
of Section 3. Employee recognizes that irreparable damage will result to the Company in the event of the violation of
any covenant contained in Section 3 and agrees that in the event of such violation, the Company shall be entitled, in addition
to its other legal or equitable remedies and damages, to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain against such violation(s)
thereof by Employee and by all other persons acting for or with Employee, including the cost of reasonable attorney’s fees.


 


3.7 Reasonableness
      of Restrictions.
Employee and the Company agree that they have attempted to restrict Employee’s
activities to a reasonable degree appropriate to protect the interests of the
Company, although they agree that others may disagree about this determination.
Therefore, Employee and the Company agree that a court or other trier of fact,
may modify and enforce these restrictions to the minimum extent deemed necessary
to be found reasonable. If a court declines to modify and enforce this Agreement
as provided above, the Employee and the Company agree that this Agreement will
be automatically modified to provide the Company with the maximum protection
of its business interests allowed by law and the Employee agrees to be bound
by this Agreement as modified. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that
if such Employee’s employment is terminated with or without Cause, Employee’s
experience and capabilities are such that Employee can obtain employment in businesses
engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature, and that enforcement of
the restrictions in this agreement by restraining order, injunction or otherwise
will not prevent Employee from earning a livelihood or cause Employee irreparable
harm.






    	6



    	



    

3.8 Survival. The provisions
of Section 3 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company and the termination
of this Agreement.


 


4. Outside
Activities. Except with the prior written consent of the Company’s
Board, Employee will not, while employed by the Company, undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise
that would interfere with Employee’s responsibilities and the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder.


 


5. Termination
Of Employment. The
parties acknowledge that either Employee or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without
Cause or Good Reason. The provisions in this Section govern the amount of compensation, if any, to be provided to Employee upon
termination of employment and do not limit the right of either party to terminate this Agreement.


 


5.1 Termination by the Company Without
Cause.


 


(a) The
Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment with the Company pursuant to this Section 5.1 at any
time without “Cause” (as defined in Section 5.2(b) below) by giving notice as described in Section 5.6 of this
Agreement. A termination pursuant to Section 5.5 below is not a termination without “Cause” for purposes of
receiving the benefits described in this Section 5.1. If the Company provides written notice to the Employee pursuant to
Section 1.1 of its intent not to renew this Agreement, then the expiration of this Agreement shall be considered a
termination without Cause.


 


(b) In the
event Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the
Company shall pay to Employee the accrued but unpaid salary of Employee through the date of termination, together with all compensation
and benefits payable to Employee based on his participation in any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement through
the date of termination. Provided that Employee’s termination without Cause constitutes a Separation From Service (as defined
below), and provided the Employee executes a general release in favor of the Company, in a form acceptable to the Company (the
“Release”), and subject to Section 5.1(c) (the date that the Release becomes effective and may no longer
be revoked by the Employee is referred to as the “Release Date”), then the Company shall (i) pay to
Employee an amount equal to the sum of (A) Employee’s then current Base Salary for a period of twelve (12) months from the
date of Separation From Service (such applicable period is referred to as the “Severance Period”) plus
(B) an amount equal to Employee’s target bonus, less applicable withholdings and deductions, with such sum paid in equal
installments on the Company’s regular payroll dates running from the Separation From Service; provided, however, that no
payments will be made prior to the day that is sixty (60) days following the date of Separation From Service, and on such date,
the Company will make the first payment to Employee under this Section 5.1(b)(i), in a lump sum, equal to the aggregate amount
of salary continuation that the Company would have paid to Employee through such date had the payments commenced on the Separation
From Service through such 60th day, with the balance paid thereafter on the schedule described above; (ii) Employee
shall be credited with an additional year of service






    	7



    	



    

credit from the date of termination for
purposes of vesting any outstanding equity awards; and (iii) if Employee is participating in the Company’s employee group
health insurance plans on the effective date of termination, and timely elects and remains eligible for continued coverage under
COBRA, or, if applicable, state or local insurance laws, the Company shall pay to Employee, on the first day of each month, a
fully taxable cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premiums for that month (including premiums for Employee and his eligible
dependents who have elected and remain enrolled in such COBRA coverage), subject to applicable tax withholdings (such amount,
the “Special Cash Payment”), for a number of months equal to the lesser of (i) the duration of the period
in which Employee and his eligible dependents are enrolled in such COBRA coverage (and not otherwise covered by another employer’s
group health plan) and (ii) twelve (12) months. Employee may, but is not obligated to, use such Special Cash Payment toward the
cost of COBRA premiums. On the 60th day following Employee’s Separation From Service, the Company will make the
first payment to Employee under this Section 5.1(b)(ii), in a lump sum, equal to the aggregate Special Cash Payments that the
Company would have paid to Employee through such date had the Special Cash Payments commenced on the first day of the first month
following the Separation From Service through such 60th day, with the balance of the Special Cash Payments paid thereafter
on the schedule described above. In the event Employee becomes covered under another employer’s group health plan or otherwise
ceases to be eligible for COBRA during the period provided in this Section 5.1(b)(ii), Employee must immediately notify the Company
of such event and the Company shall cease payment of the Special Cash Payments.


 


(c) Employee
shall not receive any of the benefits pursuant to Section 5.1(b) unless he executes the Release within the consideration period
specified therein, which shall in no event be more than 45 days, and until the Release becomes effective and can no longer be
revoked by Employee under its terms. In all cases, the Release must be signed and effective not later than the 60th
day following Employee’s Separation From Service. Employee’s ability to receive benefits pursuant to Section 5.1(b)
is further conditioned upon his: complying with his termination and post-termination obligations under this Agreement and any
other agreements between Employee and the Company and complying with the Release including without limitation any confidentiality
provisions contained therein.


 


(d) The benefits
provided to Employee pursuant to this Section 5.1 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to which Employee may otherwise
be entitled under any Company severance plan, policy or program.


 


(e) The damages
caused by the termination of Employee’s employment without Cause would be difficult to ascertain; therefore, the severance
for which Employee is eligible pursuant to Section 5.1(b) above in exchange for the Release is agreed to by the parties as liquidated
damages, to serve as full compensation, and not a penalty.






    	8



    	



    

5.2 Termination by the Company for
Cause.


 


(a) Subject
to Section 5.2(c) below, the Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment with the Company at any time
for Cause by giving notice as described in Section 5.6 of this Agreement.


 


(b)
“Cause” for termination shall mean that the Company has determined in its sole discretion that the
Employee has engaged in any of the following: (i) a material breach of any covenant or condition under this Agreement or any
other written agreement between the parties; (ii) any act constituting material dishonesty, fraud, or disreputable conduct or
moral turpitude; (iii) any conduct which constitutes a felony under applicable law; (iv) violation of any Company policy or
any act of misconduct in either case causing harm to the Company or its reputation; (v) refusal to follow or implement a
clear and lawful directive of the Board; (vi) gross negligence or gross incompetence in the performance of Employee’s
duties to the Company; or (vii) breach of fiduciary duty, provided that if Cause is based on the occurrence of one or more of
the events specified in Section 5.2(b)(i), (v) or (vi) of this Agreement, and the Company deems the circumstance constituting
Cause to be curable, the Company will give the Employee written notice as described in Section 5.6 of this Agreement that the
Company intends to terminate the Employee’s employment for Cause on the thirtieth (30th) day following the
Employee’s receipt of the Company’s notice, if the Employee has not cured the circumstances constituting Cause
before the end of such thirty (30) day period.


 


(c) In the
event Employee’s employment is terminated at any time for Cause, Employee will not receive severance payments, or any other
severance compensation or benefit, except that, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the Company shall pay
to Employee the accrued but unpaid salary of Employee through the date of termination, together with all compensation and benefits
payable to Employee based on his participation in any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement through the date of
termination.


 


5.3 Resignation by the Employee.


 


(a) Employee
may resign from Employee’s employment with the Company at any time by giving notice as described in Section 5.6. If the
Employee provides written notice to the Company pursuant to Section 1.1 of his intent not to renew this Agreement, then the expiration
of this Agreement shall be considered a resignation without Good Reason.


 


(b) In the
event Employee resigns from Employee’s employment with the Company (other than for Good Reason as set forth in Section 5.4),
Employee will not receive severance payments, or any other severance compensation or benefit, except that, pursuant to the Company’s
standard payroll policies, the Company shall pay to Employee the accrued but unpaid salary of Employee through the date of resignation,
together with all compensation and benefits payable to Employee through the date of resignation under any compensation or benefit
plan, program or arrangement during such period and Employee shall






    	9



    	



    

be eligible for any benefit continuation
or conversion rights provided by the provisions of a benefit plan or by law.


 


5.4 Resignation by the Employee for
Good Reason.


 


(a) Provided
Employee has not previously been notified of the Company’s intention to terminate Employee’s employment, the Employee
may resign from employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5.4(b) below), within ten (10) days after
the occurrence of one of the events specified in Section 5.4(b) below, by giving notice as described in Section 5.6 of this Agreement
that Employee intends to terminate his employment for Good Reason on the thirtieth (30) day following the Company’s receipt
of Employee’s notice, if the Company has not cured the event that gives rise to Good Reason before the end of such thirty
(30) day period.


 


(b) “Good
Reason” for resignation shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without the Employee’s prior written
consent: (i) the assignment to Employee of any duties or responsibilities which result in the material diminution of Employee’s
then current position; (ii) a material reduction by the Company in Employee’s annual base salary; or (iii) relocation of
the Employee’s principal place of business more than thirty-five (35) miles from its then current location. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any actions taken by the Company to accommodate a disability of the Employee or pursuant to the Family and Medical
Leave Act shall not be a Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement.


 


(c) In the
event Employee resigns from Employee’s employment for Good Reason, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies,
the Company shall pay to Employee the accrued but unpaid salary of Employee through the date of termination, together with all
compensation and benefits payable to Employee based on his participation in any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement
through the date of termination and, subject to Section 5.4(d), and provided Employee’s resignation constitutes a Separation
From Service, the Employee shall be eligible for the same payments and benefits as Employee would receive under Section 5.1 and
on the same conditions as if Employee had been terminated by the Company without Cause, provided that Employee executes
a Release of claims in favor of the Company as defined in Section 5.1(b).


 


(d) Employee
shall not receive any of the benefits pursuant to Section 5.4(c) unless he executes the Release within the consideration period
specified therein, which shall in no event be more than 60 days, and until the Release becomes effective and can no longer be
revoked by Employee under its terms. In all cases, the Release must be signed and effective not later than the 60th
day following Employee’s Separation From Service. Employee’s ability to receive benefits pursuant to Section 5.4(c)
is further conditioned upon his: returning all Company property; complying with his post-termination obligations under this Agreement
and any other agreements between Employee and the Company, and complying with the Release including without limitation any confidentiality
provisions contained therein.






    	10



    	



    

(e) The benefits
provided to the Employee pursuant to this Section 5.4 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to which Employee may
otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan, policy or program.


 


(f) The damages
caused by the termination of Employee’s employment without Cause would be difficult to ascertain; therefore, the severance
for which Employee is eligible pursuant to Section 5.4(c) above in exchange for the Release is agreed to by the parties as liquidated
damages, to serve as full compensation, and not a penalty.


 


5.5 Termination by Virtue of Death
or Disability of the Employee.


 


(a) In
the event of Employee’s death while employed pursuant to this Agreement, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall
terminate immediately, the Employee’s legal representatives shall not be eligible to receive severance payments, or any
other severance compensation or benefit, except that the Company shall, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll
policies, pay to the Employee’s legal representatives Employee’s accrued but unpaid salary through the date of
death together with all compensation and benefits payable to Employee based on his participation in any compensation or
benefit plan, program or arrangement through the date of termination.


 


(b) Subject
to applicable state and federal law, the Company shall at all times have the right, upon written notice to the Employee, to terminate
this Agreement based on the Employee’s Disability (as defined below). Termination by the Company of the Employee’s
employment based on “Disability” shall mean termination because the Employee is unable due to a physical
or mental condition to perform the essential functions of his position with or without reasonable accommodation for six (6) months
in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period or based on the written certification by two licensed physicians of the likely
continuation of such condition for such period. This definition shall be interpreted and applied consistent with the Americans
with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and other applicable law. In the event Employee’s employment is
terminated based on the Employee’s Disability, Employee will not receive severance payments, or any other severance compensation
or benefit, except that, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the Company shall pay to Employee the accrued
but unpaid salary of Employee through the date of termination, together with all compensation and benefits payable to Employee
based on his participation in any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement through the date of termination.

(a) Termination
of Employee’s employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective on the earliest of:


 


(i) immediately

a later date, in which case, termination shall be effective as of such later date or, if the Company is obligated under Section
5.2(b) to provide prior notice, thirty (30) days after the Company gives written notice to the Employee of his termination for
Cause unless the Employee has cured the






    	11



    	



    

circumstances constituting Cause (if curable)

(iv) ten (10) days after the Employee gives written notice to the Company of Employee’s resignation without good reason, provided

notice period.


 


(v) thirty
(30) days after Employee gives written notice to the Company of Employee’s resignation for Good Reason unless the Company
has cured the circumstances constituting Good Reason on or before that date;


 


(b) In the
event notice of a termination under subsections (a)(i) or (iii) is given orally, at the Employee’s request, the Company
must provide written confirmation of such notice within five (5) business days of the request in compliance with the requirement
of Section 6.1 below. In the event of a termination for Cause, written confirmation shall specify the subsection(s) of the definition
of Cause relied on to support the decision to terminate.


 


5.7 Cooperation With
Company After Termination of Employment. Following termination of Employee’s employment for any reason,
Employee shall fully cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to the winding up of Employee’s pending work
including, but not limited to, any litigation in which the Company is involved, and the orderly transfer of any such pending
work to such other Employees as may be designated by the Company.


 


5.8 Change in Control.


 


(a) In the
event of a Change in Control (as defined below), and provided such transaction is also a “change in the ownership or effective
control of” the Company or “in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company, then (i)
all outstanding unvested equity awards then held by the Employee shall accelerate and vest in full; and (ii) if the Employee is
terminated on or within one (1) year following the Change in Control, then the severance in Section 5.1(b)(i) for which the
Employee will be eligible for upon a termination pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.4 will be paid in a lump sum on the Sixtieth (60th)
day following the Separation From Service instead of on regular payroll dates during the Severance Period (with the severance
in Section 5.1(b)(ii) paid pursuant to the original schedule in that Section with no acceleration as provided for herein), and
all other provisions of Section 5.1 and 5.4, including without limitation the requirement of an effective Release to receive any
severance benefits remain the same.

(b) If
any payment or benefit Employee would receive pursuant to a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (the
“Payment”) would (1) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section
280G of the Code, and (2) but for this Section, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the
“Excise Tax”), and (3) immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, the
Company’s stock is not readily tradable on an established securities market or otherwise and (4) the Employee agrees to
waive in a manner that satisfies Section 1.280G-1 of the Treasury Regulations that portion of the Payment that equals and
exceeds three times the Employee’s base amount (as determined in accordance with Section 1.280G-1 of the Treasury
Regulations) (such portion, the “Excess Payment”), the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to solicit (in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of such Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of the Treasury Regulations) the vote by such number of
shareholders of the Company as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code so as to render the parachute
payment provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code inapplicable to the Payment. If immediately prior to the
consummation of the Change of Control, the Company’s stock is readily tradable on an established securities market or
otherwise, or the Employee refuses to waive that portion of the Payment that constitutes the Excess Payment, then the Payment
shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion
of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up
to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and
local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in
Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the
Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a Reduced Amount will give rise to the greater after tax benefit, the reduction
in the Payments shall occur in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) cancellation of accelerated vesting
of equity awards other than stock options; (iii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (iv) reduction of
other benefits paid to Employee. Within any such category of payments and benefits (that is, (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)), a
reduction shall occur first with respect to amounts that are not “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code
Section 409A and then with respect to amounts that are. In the event that acceleration of compensation from Employee’s equity
awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be canceled, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, in
the reverse order of the date of grant.


 


(i) In the event it
is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service that some portion of the Reduced Amount as determined pursuant to clause
(x) in the preceding paragraph is subject to the Excise Tax, Employee agrees to promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount
of the Payment so that no portion of the Reduced Amount is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced
Amount is determined pursuant to clause (y) in the preceding paragraph, Employee will have no obligation to return any portion
of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.


 


(ii) Unless Employee
and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm, the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance
purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting
firm so engaged by the Company is serving as






    	13



    	



    

accountant or auditor for the individual,
entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the
determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm
required to be made hereunder.


 


(iii) The Company
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to provide
its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to Employee and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days
after the date on which Employee’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by Employee or the Company) or such
other time as reasonably requested by Employee or the Company.


 


(c) “Change
in Control” means the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of any one or
more of the following events:


 


(i) any person, entity
or group (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (such person, entity, or group, an “Exchange
Act Person”),  becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty
percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities other than by virtue of a merger,
consolidation or similar transaction;


 


(ii) there is consummated
a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly or indirectly) the Company and, immediately after the consummation
of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not own, directly
or indirectly, either (A) outstanding voting securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding
voting power of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (B) more than fifty percent (50%)
of the combined outstanding voting power of the parent of the surviving entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction;
or


 


(iii) there is
consummated a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of
the Company and its subsidiaries, other than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to an entity, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting
power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as
their ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other
disposition.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term
Change in Control shall not include a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing
the domicile of the Company.


 


5.9 Application
of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent that any payments and benefits
provided under this Agreement constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) and the regulations and other guidance thereunder
and any






    	14



    	



    

state law of similar effect (collectively,
“Section 409A”), such payments and benefits shall not commence in connection with Employee’s termination
of employment unless and until Employee has also incurred a “separation from service” (as such term is defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), without reference to alternative definitions thereunder, a (“Separation From
Service”), unless the Company reasonably determines that a Separation From Service is not a necessary precondition
to payment and as a result such amounts may be provided to Employee without causing Employee to incur the additional 20% tax under
Section 409A. It is intended that each installment of severance pay and benefits provided for in this Agreement is a separate
“payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A- 2(b)(2)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended
that severance payments set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exceptions from the application
of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), l.409A-1(b)(5), and 1.409A-1(b)(9). If the Company
(or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that any payments or benefits constitute “deferred compensation”
under Section 409A and Employee is, on the termination of service, a “specified employee” of the Company or any successor
entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid
the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the payments and benefits shall be delayed
until the earliest to occur of: (a) the date that is six months and one day after Employee’s Separation From Service, (b)
the date of Employee’s death or (c) such earlier date as is permitted under Section 409A (such applicable date, the “Specified
Employee Initial Payment Date”). On the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date, the Company (or the successor entity
thereto, as applicable) shall (i) pay to Employee a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the payments and benefits that Employee
would otherwise have received through the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of such amounts
had not been so delayed pursuant to this Section and (ii) commence paying the balance of the payments and benefits in accordance
with the applicable payment schedules set forth in this Agreement.


 


6. General
Provisions.


 


6.1 Notices.
Any notices required hereunder to be in writing shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party
to be notified, (b) when sent by electronic mail, telex or confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient,
and if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day
delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at its primary office location
and to Employee at Employee’s address as listed on the Company payroll, or at such other address as the Company or the Employee
may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other.


 


6.2 Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will 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 any
applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision
or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed,






    	15



    	



    

construed and enforced in such jurisdiction
as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.


 


6.3 Waiver.
If either party should waive any breach of any provisions of this Agreement, Employee or it shall not thereby be deemed to
have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.


 


6.4 Complete
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Employee and the Company with regard to the
subject matter hereof. This Agreement is the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of their agreement with regard to this
subject matter and supersedes any prior oral discussions or written communications and agreements. This Agreement is entered
into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it cannot be modified
or amended except in writing signed by Employee and an authorized officer of the Company. The parties have entered into
separate stock option agreements and have or may enter into separate agreement related to stock option and/or other equity
awards. These separate agreements govern other aspects of the relationship between the parties, have or may have provisions
that survive termination of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement, may be amended or superseded by the parties
without regard to this agreement and are enforceable according to their terms without regard to the enforcement provision of
this Agreement.


 


6.5 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party,
but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.


 


6.6 Headings.
The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof
nor to affect the meaning thereof.


 


6.7 Successors
and Assigns. The Company shall assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part,
to any Company or other entity with or into which the Company may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may transfer
all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said Company or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly
in writing assume all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may
not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Employee may not assign or transfer this Agreement
or any rights or obligations hereunder, other than to his estate upon his death.


 


6.8 Choice of
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the
law of the State of Delaware. The parties agree that any litigation permitted under this Agreement, included but not limited to
litigation pursuant to Section 3 and enforcement of any arbitration award shall be brought in a state or federal court sitting
in Delaware.


 


6.9 Resolution
of Disputes. The parties recognize that litigation in federal or state courts or before federal or state administrative
agencies of disputes arising out of the Employee’s employment with the Company or out of this Agreement, or the Employee’s






    	16



    	



    

termination of employment or termination
of this Agreement, may not be in the best interests of either the Employee or the Company, and may result in unnecessary costs,
delays, complexities, and uncertainty. The parties agree that any dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to the
negotiation, execution, performance or termination of this Agreement or the Employee’s employment, including, but not limited
to, any claim arising out of this Agreement, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Civil Rights
Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Section 1981 of the
Civil Rights Act of 1966, as amended, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and any similar
federal, state or local law, statute, regulation, or any common law doctrine, whether that dispute arises during or after employment,
shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the
American Arbitration Association; provided however, that this dispute resolution provision shall not apply to Section 3
of this Agreement nor to any separate agreements between the parties that do not themselves specify arbitration as an exclusive
remedy. The location for the arbitration shall be the New York, New York metropolitan area. Any award made by such panel
shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties for all purposes, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrators’ fees and expenses and all administrative fees
and expenses associated with the filing of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties unless applicable law requires
otherwise. The parties acknowledge and agree that their obligations to arbitrate under this Section survive the termination of
this Agreement and continue after the termination of the employment relationship between Employee and the Company. The parties
each further agree that the arbitration provisions of this Agreement shall provide each party with its exclusive remedy,
and each party expressly waives any right it might have to seek redress in any other forum, except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement. By election arbitration as the means for final settlement of all claims, the parties hereby waive their
respective rights to, and agree not to, sue each other in any action in a Federal, State or local court with respect to such claims,
but may seek to enforce in court an arbitration award rendered pursuant to this Agreement. The parties specifically agree to waive
their respective rights to a trial by jury, and further agree that no demand, request or motion will be made for trial by jury.


 


In
Witness Whereof, the parties have executed this Employment Agreement on the day and year first written above.
