ARTICLE I

TERMINATION BENEFITS


 


		1.1	General Termination Benefits. If Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination other than during
a Protection Period, Employee will receive the following termination benefits:



 


		(a)	Severance Pay. Subject to Section 1.4 and Article 2, Employee will receive severance pay
in an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Base Compensation to be paid monthly in equal installments payable over a twelve (12)
month period, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule, beginning with the first such date that is at least
sixty (60) days after the date of Employee’s Qualifying Termination (the “Initial Payment Date”), provided that
the general release required pursuant to Article 2 has been executed and delivered to Company and has become irrevocable by such
date.



 


		(b)	Accrued Obligations. Employee will be entitled to (i) payment of any earned and unpaid Base
Compensation as of Termination of Employment, (ii) payment of any earned but unpaid other amounts due as of the Termination of
Employment, including, but, not limited to, any unpaid, earned bonus for any prior fiscal year, and (iii) payment of any earned
but unused paid time off as of the Termination of Employment, only to the extent such paid time off is to be paid out under the
vacation plan or policy sponsored by Company that is applicable to Employee (the “Accrued Obligations”). Accrued
Obligations described in clause (i) above will be paid as part of Employee’s final ordinary payroll payment from Company
for active employment or contemporaneously with such payment, but in no event later than the period required by local law, and
Accrued Obligations described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above will be paid in accordance with the terms of the plan, policy, agreement
or arrangement under which they arose (including with respect to time of payment or distribution).



 





 



Exhibit A-
Schedule A


 




     


     


    

 


		(c)	Equity Compensation Adjustments. Any equity-based compensation awards granted to Employee
by Company that vested prior to such Termination of Employment will be governed by the terms of such awards and the controlling
equity plan or agreement. Any equity-based compensation awards granted to Employee by Company that are unvested on Termination
of Employment will, subject to Section 1.2(c), expire, unless otherwise provided in such awards or equity plan or agreement. Following
Employee’s Termination of Employment, Company will not grant Employee any equity-based compensation awards.



 


		(d)	401(k) Plan. The terms of the 401(k) Plan will govern the Employee’s account balance,
if any, under such 401(k) Plan.



 


Company’s
obligations pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall survive Employee’s death.


 


		1.2	Termination Benefits in Connection with a Change of Control. If Employee incurs a Qualifying
Termination during a Protection Period, Employee will receive the following termination benefits:



 


		(a)	Severance Pay. Subject to Section 1.4 and Article 2, Employee will receive severance pay
in an amount equal to the sum of (i) twelve (12) months of Base Compensation, and (ii) Bonus, (“Severance Pay”) such
Severance Pay to be paid in a single lump-sum on the first Company payroll date that is at least sixty (60) days after the later
of (1) the date of Employee’s Qualifying Termination, or (2) the date of the Change of Control, but only if the general release
required pursuant to Article 2 has been executed and delivered to Company and has become irrevocable in accordance with its terms
by such date. The Severance Pay payable pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) will be reduced by the aggregate dollar amount to be paid
under Section 1.1(a) above (whether such amount has already been paid or is to be paid in the future), and all amounts payable
under Section 1.1(a) shall continue to be paid in the manner provided in, and at the times required by, Section 1.1(a) above with
no changes. For purposes of this Section 1.2, “Bonus” shall mean the “maximum” bonus for Employee
for the year in which the Termination of Employment occurs under the applicable bonus plan as established by Company’s Board
of Directors.



 


		(b)	Accrued Obligations. Employee will be entitled to payment of any Accrued Obligations in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1(b).



 


		(c)	Equity Compensation Adjustments. Any equity-based compensation awards granted to Employee
by Company that vested prior to such Termination of Employment will be governed by the terms of such awards and the controlling
equity plan or agreement. Any equity-based compensation awards granted to Employee by Company that are unvested on Termination
of Employment will vest immediately upon Termination of Employment, unless otherwise provided in such awards or equity plan or
agreement. Any such unvested equity-based compensation awards that are performance-based shall be deemed to vest at target unless
otherwise provided in such awards or equity plan or agreement. Following Termination of Employment, Company will not grant Employee
any equity-based compensation awards.



 


		(d)	401(k) Plan. The terms of the 401(k) Plan will govern Employee’s account balance,
if any, under such 401(k) Plan.



 




     


     


    

 


		(e)	Conditional Cap on Severance Pay. If the Employee is a “disqualified individual”
(as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), and if the payments to
Employee pursuant to this Agreement (when considered with all other payments made to Employee which are “parachute payments”
as defined in Section 280G of the Code the amount of all such payments, collectively, the “Parachute Payment”)
result in Employee becoming liable for the payment of any excise taxes pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code (“280G Excise
Tax”), Employee will receive either (i) the severance benefits payable pursuant to this Section 1.2 or (ii) the severance
benefits payable pursuant to this Section 1.2 as reduced to avoid imposition of the 280G Excise Tax (the “Conditional
Capped Amount”), whichever would result in the greatest after-tax (taking into account all federal, state and local income
taxes and the Section 4999 of the Code excise tax) payment.



 


Not
more than fourteen (14) days following Termination of Employment, Company will notify Employee in writing (i) whether the severance
benefits payable pursuant to this Section 1.2 when added to any other Parachute Payments payable to Employee exceed an amount equal
to 299% (the “299% Amount”) of Employee’s “base amount” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of
the Code, (ii) the amount that is equal to the 299% Amount, (iii) whether the severance benefit described in Section 1.2(e)(i)
or the Conditional Capped Amount pursuant to section 1.2(e)(ii) is greater on an after-tax basis and (iv) if the Conditional Capped
Amount is the greater amount, the amount that the severance benefits payable pursuant to this Section 1.2 must be reduced to equal
such amount.  Such reduction order may be elected by the Employee at the time to the extent
legally permitted and not a violation of Code Section 280G or 409A and, if it is or not elected within ten (10) days of the notification,
it shall be done in the following order: (a) all cash severance in the reverse order to be received, (b) all equity valued without
regard to Treas. Reg. §1.280G Q&A 24(c) in reverse order of vesting and (c) all equity valued pursuant to Treas. Reg.
§1.280G Q&A 24(c) in reverse order of vesting.


 


The calculations and determinations
described in this section will be made by Company’s public accounting firm in accordance with Section 280G of the Code or
any successor provision thereto. The costs of obtaining such determination will be borne by Company.


 


Company’s obligations
pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall survive Employee’s death.


 


		1.3	Termination Benefits in Connection With a Termination Other Than a Qualifying Termination.
If Employee’s employment with Company terminates for any reason that is not described in Section 1.1 or 1.2, including due
to death or Disability, Employee will receive the following termination benefits:



 


		(a)	Severance Pay.  Employee will not receive any severance pay.



 


		(b)	Accrued Obligations.  Employee or Employee’s estate, as applicable, will be entitled
to payment of any Accrued Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1(b).



 


		(c)	Continued Welfare Benefits. Employee and/or Employee’s dependents, as applicable,
will be entitled to continue their respective health and welfare coverage, if any, pursuant to COBRA, at Employee’s and/or
Employee’s dependents, if any, cost.



 




     


     


    

 


		(d)	Equity Compensation Adjustments.  Any equity-based compensation awards granted to Employee
by Company that vested prior to such Termination of Employment will be governed by the terms of such awards and the controlling
equity plan or agreement. Any equity-based compensation awards granted to Employee by Company that are unvested on Termination
of Employment will expire, unless otherwise provided in such awards or such equity plan or agreement. Following Termination of
Employment, Company will not grant Employee any equity-based compensation awards.



 


		(e)	401(k) Plan. The terms of the 401(k) Plan will govern Employee’s account balance,
if any, under such 401(k) Plan.



 


		(f)	Limitation on Benefits. In the event that Employee’s termination is later determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction, at any time, to be a Qualifying Termination, or that Company did not have cause to support
the termination, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the sole compensation to which Employee shall be entitled as a result of
such Qualifying Termination shall be governed by, and limited to, the terms of Section 1.1 or Section 1.2 above, whichever is applicable,
and legal fees under Section 4.3(b), if applicable.



 


		1.4	Code Section 409A.



 


		(a)	It is the intention of Company and Employee that the provisions of this Agreement either (i) provide
compensation that is not deferred compensation, or (ii) provide compensation that is deferred compensation exempt from Section
409A of the Code, or (iii) provide deferred compensation that complies with Section 409A of the Code and the rules, regulations
and other authorities promulgated thereunder (including the transition rules thereof) (collectively, “409A”),
and all provisions of this Agreement will be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent.



 


		(b)	To the extent Employee is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Code and as determined in good faith by Company, notwithstanding the timing of payment provided in any other Section of
this Agreement, no payment, distribution or benefit under this Agreement that constitutes a distribution of deferred compensation
(within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)) upon separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(h)), after taking into account all available exemptions, that would otherwise be payable during the six-month
period after separation from service will be made during such six-month period, and any such payment, distribution or benefit will
instead be paid on the first business day after such six-month period.



 


		(c)	In the event that Company determines that any provision of this Agreement does not comply with
409A, Company will be entitled, without Employee’s consent, to amend or modify such provision to comply with 409A; provided,
however, that such amendment or modification will, to the greatest extent commercially practicable, maintain the economic
value to Employee of such provision.



 


		(d)	For purposes of 409A, each installment of severance pay under Section 1.1(a) will be deemed to
be a separate payment as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).



 




     


     


    

 


		(e)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Qualifying Termination shall occur
only to the extent that the Employee incurs a “separation from service” with Company within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).



 


ARTICLE II

benefits under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 1.1 or 1.2, Employee will be required to (a) within twenty-one (21) days or

benefits will cease, as applicable. Such relief will apply regardless of when such violation is discovered. Without by implication
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company may suspend any payments due under this Agreement pending the outcome of litigation
regarding a breach of any provision of this Agreement or regarding a dispute arising from the subject matter of this Agreement.
“Affiliate” means a corporation that is a member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in section 414(b)
of the Code) that includes Company, any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) that is in common control (as defined in
section 414(c) of the Code) with Company, or any entity that is a member of the same affiliated service group (as defined in section
414(m) of the Code) as Company.



 


		3.3	Independent Covenants. Each of the covenants set forth in this Article III shall be construed
as an agreement independent of (a) each of the other covenants set forth in this Article III, (b) any other agreements, or (c)
any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against Company, whether predicated
on this Agreement or otherwise, regardless of who was at fault and regardless of any claims that either Employee or Company may

Article III. Company shall not be barred from enforcing any of the covenants set forth in this Article III by reason of any breach
of any other part of this Agreement or any other agreement with Employee.



 


		3.4	Right of Offset. If Employee is at any time indebted to Company, or otherwise obligated
to pay money to Company for any reason, Company, at its election, may offset amounts otherwise payable to Employee under this Agreement

ARTICLE IV

DISPUTE RESOLUTION


 


		4.1	Venue and Jurisdiction. Employee and Company agree that any and all claims arising
out of or relating to this Agreement shall be (a) brought in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, or (b) brought in or
removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division. Employee consents to the personal
jurisdiction of the courts identified above. Employee waives (a) any objection to jurisdiction or venue, or (b) any defense claiming
lack of jurisdiction or venue, in any action brought in such courts.



 


		4.2	Entitlement to Injunctive Relief. If Employee breaches any of the restrictions set forth
in Article III, Employee agrees that: (a) Company would suffer irreparable harm; (b) it would be difficult to determine damages,
and money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the injuries suffered by Company; and (c) if Company seeks injunctive
relief to enforce this Agreement, Employee shall waive and shall not (i) assert any defense that Company has an adequate remedy
at law with respect to the breach, (ii) require that Company submit proof of the economic value of any Trade Secret or Confidential
Information, or (iii) require Company to post a bond or any other security. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit Company’s
right to any other remedies at law or in equity.



 




     


     


    

 


		4.3	Fees and Expenses. 



 


		(a)	Except as provided in Section 4.3(b) below, if Company or Employee sues in court against the other
for a breach of any provision of this Agreement or regarding any dispute arising from the subject matter of this Agreement, if
Company is the prevailing party it will be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees, and court costs, regardless of which
party initiated the proceedings. If Employee is the prevailing party or if there is no prevailing party, Company and Employee will
each bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees incurred.



 


		(b)	If, subsequent to a Change of Control, (i) Company or Employee sues in court for benefits under
Sections 1.1 or 1.2, or (ii) Company contests the validity, enforceability or Employee’s interpretation of, or determinations

of this Agreement’s legal effect and has not acted in reliance upon any statements made by Company other than those set forth
in writing in the Agreement.



 


		5.2	At-Will Employment. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Employee
hereby acknowledges and agrees that Employee’s employment with Company is for an unspecified duration and constitutes “at-will”
employment, and Employee further acknowledges and agrees that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, with
or without Cause or for any or no Cause, at the option either of Company or Employee. Company may change Employee’s job duties,
title, responsibilities, reporting level, compensation and benefits, as well as Company’s personnel policies and procedures,
with or without notice at any time in the sole discretion of Company.



 


		5.3	Notice of Termination by Employee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
Employee agrees to provide Company with written notice of Employee’s intent to terminate employment with Company not less

the foregoing, following receipt of such notice, Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion: (a) allow Employee to remain
employed for the duration of the Notice Period; (b) allow Employee to remain employed for a portion of the Notice Period, and terminate
Employee’s employment prior to expiration of the Notice Period; (c) allow Employee to remain employed for all or a portion

any portion of the Notice Period in which Employee remains employed by Company, Employee will continue to receive Employee’s
Base Compensation and those health and welfare benefits for which Employee remains eligible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in this Agreement, any termination of employment by Company as set forth in this Section shall not constitute a Qualifying
Termination.



 




     


     


    

 


		5.4	Cooperation. Following termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, Employee
shall cooperate with Company (including its employees, officers, directors, attorneys and representatives) and furnish complete

investigation or other dispute, about which Employee has knowledge or information. If Employee has any contact with any party adverse
to Company in any investigation, lawsuit or dispute, Employee agrees to immediately notify the Company’s SVP and General
Counsel first by telephone and as soon as possible thereafter in writing, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any contact
with a potential “whistleblower” or if Employee is a “whistleblower.”



 


		5.5	Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of Company under this Agreement will

and/or assets of Company, by a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Employee, to assume expressly
and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Company would be required to perform it if no
such succession had taken place. This Agreement is personal to Employee and without the prior written consent of Company is not

extent permitted by law. If such provision cannot be modified to be enforceable, the provision shall be severed from this Agreement
to the extent unenforceable. The remaining provisions and any partially enforceable provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Company of the covenants of Employee
contained in this Agreement, including but not limited to those contained in Article III.



 


		5.11	No Waiver. No waiver by either party at any time of any breach by the other party of, or
compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party will be deemed a waiver of similar
