Company all books, records, forms, specifications, formulae, data, processes, papers and writings related to the business of the

that the same are the sole property, directly or indirectly, of the Company;


 


(g)
Employee understands that in [his/her] performing work for the Company, [he/she] will be expected not to use or disclose any confidential
information, including trade secrets, of any former employer or other person that Employee has an obligation of confidentiality.
Rather, Employee further understands that [he/she] will be expected to use only that information which is generally known and

Employee acknowledges and understands that the securities of the Company are publicly traded and subject to the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, Employee acknowledges and agrees that (i) [he/she] is required under
applicable securities laws to refrain from trading in securities of the Company while in possession of material nonpublic information
and to refrain from disclosing any material nonpublic information to anyone except as permitted by this Agreement in connection
with the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, and (ii) [he/she] will communicate to any person to whom Employee communicates

or Employee can terminate the employment at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. In the event that Employee’s
employment is terminated without cause, Employee will receive severance pay equal to Employee’s then current monthly Base

benefits and employee Benefit Plans described herein. Employee will also receive accelerated vesting and exercisability of six
monthly tranches of the Stock Option.


 


The
Company may terminate the employment of the Employee with cause if the Company determines that Employees has:


 


	 	(a)	materially
    breached any provision hereof or habitually neglected the duties which Employee was required to perform under any provision
    of this Agreement;


 




    	4



     


    

 


	 	(b)	misappropriated
    funds or property of the Company or otherwise engaged in acts of dishonesty, fraud, misrepresentation or other acts
    of moral turpitude, even if not in connection with the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, which could reasonably
    be expected to result in serious prejudice to the interests of the Company if Employee were retained as an employee;
	 	 	 
	 	(c)	secured
    any personal profit not completely disclosed to and approved by the Company in connection with any transaction entered into
    on behalf of or with the Company or any affiliate of the Company; or
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	failed
    to carry out and perform duties assigned to Employee in accordance with the terms hereof in a manner acceptable to the Company
    after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee which identifies the manner in which Employee
    has not substantially performed Employee’s duties, and provided further that Employee shall be given a reasonable opportunity
    to cure such failure.


 


For
purposes of this section, the Employee shall not be terminated for Cause without (i) reasonable notice to the Employee
setting forth the reasons for the Company’s intention to Terminate for Cause and a reasonable opportunity to cure such situation
(if capable of cure), (ii) an opportunity for the Employee, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board of Directors of
the Company, and (iii) delivery to the Employee of a notice of termination from the Company, finding that, in the good faith opinion
of the Board, the Employee had engaged in the conduct set forth above and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 8. Amendment
and Waiver. This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by written documents signed by the Party against whom enforcement
of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought; however, the amount of compensation to be paid to Employee
for services to be performed for the Company hereunder may be changed from time to time by the Parties by written agreement without
in any other way modifying, changing or affecting this Agreement or the performance by Employee of any of the duties of [his/her]
employment with the Company. Any such written agreement shall be, and shall be conclusively deemed to be, a ratification and confirmation
of this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in such written amendment. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision
of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof, nor of any breach of any
other term or provision of this Agreement.


 


9.
Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered (a) three
business days after being received by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (b) three business
days after being sent for next business day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, in the
case of the Company, to its principal office address, and in the case of Employee, to Employee’s residence address as shown
on the records of the Company, or may be given by personal delivery thereof.


 


10.
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and
enforceable under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, unenforceable or prohibited by applicable
law, then in lieu of declaring such provision invalid or unenforceable, to the extent permitted by law (a) the Parties agree that
they will amend such provision to the minimal extent necessary to bring such provision within the ambit of enforceability, and
(b) any court of competent jurisdiction may, at the request of either party, revise, reconstruct or reform such provision in a
manner sufficient to cause it to be valid and enforceable.

11.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement,
forms the complete and exclusive statement of Employee’s employment agreement with the Company. It supersedes any other
agreements, representations or promises made to Employee by anyone, whether oral or written. Changes in Employee’s employment
terms, other than those changes expressly reserved to the Company’s discretion in this Agreement, require a written modification
signed by an officer of the Company.


 


12.
Force Majeure. Neither of the Parties shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform hereunder, which
delay or failure is due to causes beyond the control of said Party, including, but not limited to: acts of God; acts of the public
enemy; acts of the United States of America or any state, territory or political subdivision thereof or of the District of Columbia;
fires; floods; epidemics, quarantine restrictions; strike or freight embargoes. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 12, in every case the delay or failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the
Party claiming excusable delay.


 


13.
Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute arising under or pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties agree to attempt
to resolve the dispute in a commercially reasonable fashion before instituting any litigation or arbitration (with the exception
of emergency injunctive relief). If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, then the parties agree
to mediate the dispute with a mutually agreed upon mediator in New York, NY. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator within
ten (10) days after either party shall first request commencement of mediation, each party will select a mediator within five
(5) days thereof, and those mediators shall select the mediator to be used. The mediation shall be scheduled within thirty (30)
days following the selection of the mediator. The parties further agree that any applicable statute of limitations will be tolled
for the period of time from the date mediation is requested until 14 days following the mediation. If the mediation does not resolve
the dispute, then the parties irrevocably and unconditionally agree to the arbitration provisions in Section 14.

14.
Arbitration. To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with your employment
with the Company, Employee and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, including
but not limited to statutory claims, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, or interpretation of this
Agreement, Employee’s employment with the Company, or the termination of Employee’s employment, shall be resolved
pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-16, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential
arbitration conducted by JAMS or its successor, under JAMS’ then applicable rules and procedures for employment disputes
(available upon request and also currently available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules- employment-arbitration/). The arbitration
will take place in New York, NY unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Employee acknowledges that by agreeing to this arbitration
procedure, both Employee and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative
proceeding. In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this section, whether by Employee or the Company,
must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported
class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may
not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
To the extent that the preceding sentences regarding class claims or proceedings are found to violate applicable law or are otherwise
found unenforceable, any claim(s) alleged or brought on behalf of a class shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration.
This paragraph shall not apply to any action or claim that cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration as a matter of law, including,
without limitation, claims brought pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, as amended, the California
Fair Employment and Housing Act, as amended, and the California Labor Code, as amended, to the extent such claims are not permitted
by applicable law(s) to be submitted to mandatory arbitration and the applicable law(s) are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration
Act or otherwise invalid (collectively, the “Excluded Claims”). In the event Employee intends to bring multiple
claims, including one of the Excluded Claims listed above, the Excluded Claims may be filed with a court, while any other claims
will remain subject to mandatory arbitration. Employee will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration
proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to
award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding
the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded as to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrator’s
essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award all relief that Employee
or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law. The Company shall pay all JAMS arbitration fees in excess of the administrative
fees that Employee would be required to pay if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Nothing in this Agreement is intended
to prevent either Employee or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion
of any such arbitration.


 


15. Successors.


 


(a)
No rights or obligations of Employee under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Employee other than Employee’s
rights to payments or benefits hereunder, which may be transferred only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon
Employee’s death, this Agreement and all rights of Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent any such person succeeds
to Employee’s interests under this Agreement. Subject to compliance with the terms of any Company sponsored benefit plan,
Employee shall be entitled to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive following Employee’s death any
benefit or compensation payable hereunder by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Employee’s death
or a judicial determination of Employee’s incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Employee shall be deemed, where appropriate,
to refer to Employee’s beneficiary(ies), estate or other legal representative(s).


 


(b)
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and permitted assigns.


 


(c)
The Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets, and
any such successor shall be bound by all of the provisions hereof.


 


16.
Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the substantive laws of New York.


 


17.
Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original
but all of which together shall constitute but one instrument.
