Dear Mark:


 


Congratulations on your decision to join
Innodata. I am confident that you will be instrumental in helping us drive results that matter for our company, our clients and
our shareholders.


 


You will be employed by Innodata Inc. (the
 “Company”) as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President. You will also serve as the Company’s Principal
Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer. In this position you will be responsible for overseeing the financial reporting
for the Company and executing various strategic efforts.


 


The purpose of this letter (the “Offer
of Employment”) is to set forth the general terms of our employment offer to you. Please bear in mind that this Offer of
Employment does not constitute an employment contract.


 


		1)	Part Time Employment. The Company will employ you in a part-time capacity. You agree to provide
the Company with base services of approximately four weeks of services per quarter. In addition, you agree to provide the Company,
and the Company agrees to obtain from you, an additional eight weeks (or more, if mutually agreeable) per calendar year of additional
services.



 


		2)	Salary. Your part-time base salary shall be $100,000 per annum.
Weeks of additional services shall be compensated at $6,250 per week (or pro rata portion thereof). Your salary will be paid along
with regularly scheduled payroll.



 


		3)	Reporting. You will report directly to Jack Abuhoff, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.



 


		4)	Office Location. You will be based out of the Company’s Ridgefield Park, New Jersey headquarters.
Your position will necessitate occasional travel to the Company’s global facilities (including a minimum of one visit per
year to the Company’s Manila office for planning sessions with accounting team and auditor visit). You shall be permitted
to work from your home office when appropriate.



 


		5)	Employment Commencement. Your employment commencement date shall be October 2, 2020.



 


		6)	Benefits. You agree to adhere to our “Personnel Handbook for U.S. Based Employees (a copy

		7)	Confidentiality Agreement. You agree to sign the Company’s “Agreement
Concerning Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure” (the “CNDA”) contemporaneously with the commencement
of employment (a copy of which is contained herewith). In the event of a direct conflict between the terms of the CNDA and the

or organization in competing with the Company, in preparing to compete with the Company, or in hiring any employees of the Company.
Additionally, you agree that for twelve (12) months after you leave the Company (whether voluntarily or involuntarily), you will
not anywhere in the world directly or indirectly compete with the Company or be employed by: (i) any person or entity in a division
or other department which then competes with the Company to any material extent, or (ii) any person or entity the major business
of which is competitive with the Company, nor will you directly or indirectly own any interest in any such person or entity or
render to it any consulting, brokerage, contracting, or other services. The foregoing shall not prohibit you from owning not in
excess of 2% of the outstanding stock of any company that is a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934. You also agree
that for twelve (12) months after you leave the Company (whether voluntarily or involuntarily), you will not, directly or indirectly,

or clients of the Company at the time of the termination of your employment with the Company, or who were customers or clients
of the Company during the prior twelve (12) month period, for purposes of offering to such customers or clients of the Company
products or services which are directly competitive to the products and services offered by the Company as of the date of your
termination or resignation from employment with the Company for any reason. You shall be permitted to perform other part-time assignments,
provided no such assignment shall contravene the foregoing or prevent or impede you from fulfilling your obligations hereunder.



 


		9)	Inconsistent Obligations. By signing this Offer of Employment, you represent and warrant to the
Company that (i) you are under no contractual commitments inconsistent with your obligations to the Company; (ii) you will not,
during the period of your employment with the Company, use any confidential or proprietary information of any third party whatsoever,

remain an employee at will, meaning that either you or the Company will be entitled to terminate your employment at any time and
for any reason, with or without cause. Any contrary representations, which may have been made to you, are superseded by this Offer
of Employment. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. The “at will” nature
of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute or create an employment agreement.



 


		11)	Withholding Taxes. All forms of compensation referred to in this Offer of Employment are subject
to reduction to reflect applicable withholding and payroll taxes.

oral or written, between you and the Company.



 


		14)	Conditional Offer. Please note that as required by law, the Offer of Employment, and your employment
with the Company, is contingent upon your providing legal proof of your identify and authorization to work in the United States.
