even date herewith (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”);


WHEREAS, it is a condition to the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement that the Company and Executive enter into this Agreement; and


WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive
as of the Effective Date and Executive desires to accept employment with the Company on the terms and conditions set forth below.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing
recital and the respective covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this document, the Company and Executive agree
as follows:

Employment.


(a)                                 
Title; Duties.  During the Term, Executive will serve as Division President of
the Company, and will report directly to HemaCare’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). 
Executive shall have such duties consistent with that of a President that may from time to time be designated or assigned to Executive
pursuant to the directives of HemaCare’s President and CEO.  Executive shall perform faithfully the duties assigned
to him to the best of his ability.


(b)                                
Other Activities.  During the Term, Executive shall devote his entire productive
business time and attention to his duties on the Company’s behalf except for sick leave, vacations and approved leaves of
absence; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Executive from (i) serving as a director
of any entity or business enterprise which is not in direct competition with the business of the Company or any present or future
affiliate of the Company and which does not create a real or perceived conflict of interest, (ii) otherwise participating in educational,
welfare, social, religious and civic organizations or (iii) making any investments (other than “passive investments,”
as defined below) in the securities of any entity or business enterprise which is not in direct competition with the business of
the Company or any present or future affiliate of the Company and which does not create a real or perceived conflict of interest;
provided, that Executive obtains the prior approval of the CEO with respect to any position described in clause (i) of this
Section 1(b) and any investment (other than any “passive investments”) described in clause (iii) of this Section 1(b),
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  An investment shall be considered a “passive
investment” to the extent that such securities (x) are actively traded on a United States national securities exchange, on
the NASDAQ National Market System or Small Cap Market System, on the OTC Bulletin Board, or on any foreign securities exchange,
and (y) represent, at the time such investment is made, less than five percent (5%) of the aggregate voting power of such entity

Employment Term.  Subject to Section 9, Executive’s employment hereunder
shall be for a term of thirty-six (36) months commencing on the Effective Date and expiring at the close of business on the day
prior to the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Term”).  This Agreement shall
automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods following the initial Term and any extensions thereof, if applicable, unless
either party provides written notice to the other party not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-existing Term,
that such party does not desire the Term to automatically renew, in which event this Agreement shall terminate as of the last day
of the then-existing Term.



    
  

3.                                      
Place of Employment.  Executive’s services shall be performed at the Company’s
principal executive offices located at 5440 NW 33rd Avenue,
Suite 108, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33309 or such other place as the Company and Executive shall mutually agree.


4.                                      
Salary.  For all services rendered by Executive hereunder and all covenants and
conditions undertaken by him pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay, and Executive shall accept, as full compensation,
the amounts set forth in this Section 4.


a.                                      
Base Salary.  For all services to be rendered by Executive pursuant to this Agreement,
the Company agrees to pay Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) of One Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars ($175,000.00) on an annualized basis.  The Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular
payroll practices.  All amounts payable shall be reduced by standard withholding and other authorized deductions.  The
Company, in its sole discretion, may increase (but not decrease) the Base Salary from time to time, provided, however,
that commencing January 1, 2008, the Base Salary shall increase at a minimum level of 3% per annum during each year of the Term.


b.                                     
Bonus.  Executive shall be eligible for a bonus of up to 20% of the Base Salary
(the “Bonus”), starting in calendar year 2007, upon the achievement of specific goals and objectives, as determined
in the sole discretion of HemaCare’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  The Bonus structure will put 100% of Executive’s
Bonus potential at risk each year.  Executive must be employed by the Company at the time of payment to be eligible to receive
any Bonus.


c.                                      
Car Allowance.  During the Term, Executive shall receive a car allowance equal
to $1,250 per month.

Life Insurance.  The Company agrees to pay a whole life insurance policy for the
Employee with a face amount equal to one times Executive’s salary.


e.                                      
Deductions.  The Company shall deduct from the compensation described in Sections 4(a)
and 4(b) any federal, state or local withholding taxes, social security contributions and any other amounts which may be required
to be deducted or withheld by the Company pursuant to any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations.


f.                                        
Disability Adjustment.  Any compensation otherwise payable to Executive pursuant
to Sections 4(a) and 4(b) in respect of any period during which Executive is Disabled (as defined in Section 9(d)) shall
be reduced by any amounts payable to Executive for loss of earnings or the like under any insurance plan or policy sponsored by
the Company.


5.                                      
Expenses.  The Company shall from time to time pay or reimburse Executive for
the reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder if (a) such
expenses have been previously approved by the Company or reimbursement is otherwise appropriate in accordance with the Company’s
established policies and (b) the Company receives such verification thereof as the Company may require in order to qualify such
expenses as deductible business expenses.


6.                                      
Other Benefits.  In addition to his compensation provided by the foregoing, so
long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall be entitled to all of the benefits available (a) generally to
Company employees pursuant to Company programs, and/or (b) to senior level executives at the Company, including, by way of
illustration, personal leave, paid holidays, sick leave, profit-sharing, retirement, disability, dental, vision, group sickness,
accident or health insurance programs or equity incentive plans of the Company which may now or hereafter be in effect, or in any
other or additional such programs which may be established by the Company, as and to the extent any such programs are or may from
time to time be in effect, as determined by the Company.  The Company shall implement and maintain a health and medical plan
as soon as is reasonably practical after the execution of this Agreement and maintain such plan throughout the Term.  The
Company shall have the right to amend, reduce or completely terminate any or all such plans by duly authorized action respecting
all employees covered by such plans as a group.

Vacations and Holidays.  During each calendar year, Executive shall accrue compensated
personal time off (“PTO”) at the rate of twenty-nine (29) days per year.  If Executive’s earned but
unused PTO reaches forty-eight (48) days, Executive will not continue to accrue additional PTO time until he uses sufficient PTO
to fall below this maximum amount.  Thereafter, Executive shall start earning PTO benefits again until the forty-eight (48)
day maximum is again reached.  Any accrued but unused PTO time will be paid to Executive on a pro rata basis at termination
of employment for any reason.  Executive shall not be compensated for holidays (other than as part of the PTO system).

or no reason, with or without Cause (as defined below), with the consequences described in Section 10 of this Agreement. 
Executive may terminate his employment with Good Reason (as defined below) by giving the Company thirty (30) days’ advance
written notice.  Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive’s rights under any applicable
benefit plans shall be determined under the provisions of those plans.


a.                                      
Death.  Executive’s employment shall terminate immediately in the event
of his death.


b.                                     
Cause.  Subject to Executive’s failure to cure a breach in the manner and
time described below, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment for Cause immediately. As used in this Agreement,
the term “for Cause” shall be limited to a termination for the following acts by Executive:  (i) misappropriation
or embezzlement of the funds or property of the Company or any subsidiary, falsification of any Company or subsidiary documents
or records or any unauthorized attempt by the Executive to take any business or business opportunities of the Company or any subsidiary
for his or her own personal gain; (ii) Executive’s failure or inability to perform any material duties contemplated by this
Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days, except in the event that the Executive is determined to have a Disability (as defined
in Section 9(d)) or in the event of Executive’s death; (iii) grossly negligent, reckless or willful misconduct
or insubordination in connection with Executive’s performance of his duties; (iv) any material breach by Executive of
any agreement (including this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 11)) between Executive and the
Company; (v) Executive’s conviction (including any plea of guilty or nolo contendere) of any felony, any misdemeanor
involving dishonesty or fraud, or any other criminal act that impairs or could impair Executive’s ability to perform his
or her duties; (vi) the Executive’s material violation of Company policies, including, without limitation, policies
on prohibition of unlawful harassment or (vii) any illegal drug or illegal substance abuse, illegal drug or illegal substance addiction,
or chronic addiction to alcohol on the part of Executive, other than any use of medication prescribed by a doctor.  The determination
of Cause shall be made by HemaCare’s President and Chief Executive Officer in her reasonable discretion.  Anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, as to any termination based upon clause (iii) above, the Company shall give the Executive
written notice prior to terminating this Agreement of the Executive’s employment, setting forth a general description of
the grounds for termination and the conduct required to cure such grounds for termination.  The Executive shall have thirty (30)
days from the receipt of such notice within which to cure any such grounds for termination to the satisfaction of the Company,
which shall be determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion.


c.                                      
Termination by Executive for “Good Reason”.  Subject to the provisions
outlined below, at any time after the date Executive commences employment under this Agreement, upon thirty (30) days’

employment under this Agreement for “Good Reason”.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason”
is defined as any one of the following:  (i) the Company fails to comply with the provisions hereof governing compensation
and benefits to Executive, (ii) the Company moves the Company’s office location in violation of Section 3, (iii) the Company
fails to maintain Executive in the position of Division President (or a comparable position) described in Section 1 or materially
diminishes his duties or responsibilities in such positions, (iv) the Company materially breaches any other provision of this Agreement
or any other written agreement with Executive, or (v) conduct by the Company occurs that would cause Executive to commit fraudulent
acts or would expose Executive to criminal liability; provided, however, that it shall not constitute Good Reason
unless Executive shall have provided the Company with written notice of its alleged actions constituting Good Reason (which notice
shall specify in reasonable detail the particulars of such Good Reason) and the Company has not cured any such alleged Good Reason
within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of such written notice.

shall mean that Executive, at the time such notice is given, has been unable to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement
for a period of not less than three (3) consecutive months (or after four (4) months in the aggregate during a twelve-month
period, whether consecutive or not) as the result of his incapacity due to physical or mental illness.  A determination of

22.                                
Arbitration.


a.                                      
The Company and Executive agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating
to any interpretation, construction, performance, termination or breach of this Agreement or Executive’s employment with
the Company or termination of such employment, will be settled by final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator to be held
in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”) then in effect.  Without limiting any other provision herein, this
Section 22 shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and will apply to any claim, dispute,
or controversy that arises during or after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.  Executive and
the Company agree that the agreement to arbitrate under this Section 22 is subject to and enforceable under the provisions
of the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § § I, et seq.  The
arbitrator selected shall have the authority to grant Executive or the Company or both all remedies otherwise available by law,
including injunctions.


b.                                     
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the AAA Rules, the arbitration shall provide (i) for
written discovery and depositions adequate to give the Parties access to documents and witnesses that are essential to the dispute
and (ii) for a written decision by the arbitrator that includes the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision
is based.  Consistent with applicable law, Executive and the Company shall each bear his or its own costs and attorneys’
fees incurred in conducting the arbitration and, except in such disputes where Executive asserts a claim under a state or federal
statute prohibiting discrimination in employment, a claim for wrongful termination in violation of public policy, or a claim involving
enforcement of rights under any statute enacted for a public reason (the “Excepted Claims”), shall split equally
the fees and administrative costs charged by the arbitrator and AAA.  In disputes where Executive asserts an Excepted Claim
against the Company, Executive shall be required to pay only the AAA filing fee to the extent such filing fee does not exceed the
fee to file a complaint in state or federal court and the Company shall pay the balance of the arbitrator’s fees and administrative
costs.

c.                                      
The decision of the arbitrator will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties to the
arbitration.  The prevailing party in the arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to recover his or
its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including the costs or fees charged by the arbitrator and AAA.  In
disputes where Executive asserts an Excepted Claim, reasonable attorneys’ fees shall be awarded by the arbitrator based on
the same standard as such fees would be awarded if the Excepted Claim had been asserted in state or federal court.  Judgment
may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction.


The parties hereby acknowledge that they have voluntarily
negotiated the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 22, have consulted with counsel concerning
such terms, and voluntarily agree to them.

23.                                
Advice of Counsel.  The Parties represent and agree that they have carefully read
and fully understand all of the provisions of this Agreement, and the terms and conditions set forth herein, and that they are
voluntarily entering into this Agreement.  The Parties affirm that, prior to execution of this Agreement, they have consulted
with counsel concerning the terms and conditions set forth herein or have had the opportunity to do so.


24.                                
Survival of Certain Terms.  The provisions of Sections 9, 10, 11, 14 and 22
of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the survival of such provisions
after the termination of this Agreement shall in no way constitute an extension of the Term.  Except as set forth in the prior
sentence, all other rights and obligations of the Parties shall cease upon termination of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A


EMPLOYEE
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT


In consideration of my employment by _____________ (the "Company")
and the compensation I receive from the Company, I agree that:


1.Proprietary
Information. I understand that the Company possesses and will possess Proprietary Information that is important to its business.
"Proprietary Information" is information (whether conveyed orally, in writing or otherwise) that was or will be developed,
created, or discovered by or on behalf of the Company, or that became or will become known by, or was or is conveyed to the Company,
that has or could have commercial value in the Company's business, unless (a) the information is or becomes publicly known through
lawful means; or (b) the information is disclosed to me without confidential or proprietary restriction by a third party who rightfully
possesses the information (without confidential or proprietary restriction) and who did not learn of it directly or indirectly
from the Company.


Proprietary Information includes, without limitation, any Company
Inventions (as defined below) and any information relating to (i) client/customer lists, vendor lists or other lists or compilations
containing client, customer or vendor information; (ii) information about products, proposed products, research, product development,
techniques, processes, costs, profits, markets, marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, sales or commissions; (iii) plans for the
future development or new product concepts; (iv) manufacturing techniques or processes, documents, books, papers, drawings, schematics,
models, sketches, computer programs, databases or other data, including electronic data recorded or retrieved by any means; (v)
the compensation, performance and terms of employment of other employees; (vi) all other information that has been or will be given
to me in confidence by the Company (or any affiliate); (vii) software in various stages of development, and any designs, drawings,
schematics, specifications, techniques, models, data, source code, algorithms, object code, documentation, diagrams, flow charts,
research development, processes and procedures relating to any software; and (viii) any information that the Company obtains from
another party that it treats as proprietary or designates as Proprietary Information.


At all times, both during my employment with the Company and after
my termination, I will not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any third party,
other than in my assigned duties for the benefit of the Company, any Proprietary Information. I am aware that the unauthorized
disclosure of Proprietary Information may be highly prejudicial to the Company's interests, an invasion of privacy, and an improper
disclosure of trade secrets. Without limiting the foregoing, I shall not make copies of, or otherwise reproduce, Proprietary Information
unless authorized by the Company for reproduction.


2.Company
Materials. "Company Materials" are documents or other media or tangible items that contain or embody Proprietary
Information or any other information concerning the business, operations or plans of the Company, whether such documents have been
prepared by me or by others. "Company Materials" include, without limitation, blueprints, drawings, photographs, charts,
graphs, notebooks, customer lists, computer software, media or printouts, sound recordings and other printed, typewritten or handwritten
documents, as well as samples, prototypes, models, products and the like.



     

     

    

 


3.Intellectual
Property.


3.1All
Proprietary Information and all right, title and interest in and to any patents, patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights, mask
work rights, trade secret rights, and all other intellectual and industrial property and proprietary rights that currently exist
or may exist in the future anywhere in the world (collectively, "Rights") in connection therewith shall be the sole property
of the Company. I hereby assign to the Company any Rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information.


3.2I acknowledge
and agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to the Company's telecommunications, networking or information processing
systems (including, without limitation, stored company files, e-mail messages and voice messages) and that my activity and any
files or messages on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice. I further agree that any property
situated on the Company's premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other
work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. All Company Materials shall be the
sole property of the Company. I agree that during my employment with the Company, I will not remove any Company Materials from
the business premises of the Company or deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company, except as I
am required to do in connection with performing the duties of my employment. I recognize that the unauthorized taking of any Proprietary
Information may be a crime under the Cal. Penal Code §499c or comparable laws of other states or the United States, and may
also result in civil liability under Sections 3426.1 through 3426.11 of the California Civil Code, or comparable laws of other
states. I further agree that, immediately upon the termination of my employment by me or by the Company for any reason, or for
no reason, or during my employment if so requested by the Company, I will return all Company Materials, apparatus, equipment and
other physical property, or any reproduction of such property, excepting only (a) my personal copies of records relating to my
compensation; (b) my personal copies of any materials previously distributed generally to stockholders of the Company; and (c)
my copy of this Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (the "Agreement").


3.3I agree
that all "Inventions" (which term includes patentable or non-patentable inventions, original works of authorship, derivative
works, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, service marks, mask works, discoveries, patents, technology, algorithms, computer
software, application programming interfaces, protocols, formulas, compositions, ideas, designs, processes, techniques, know-how,
data and all improvements, rights and claims related to the foregoing), which I have made, conceived, reduced to practice or developed,
and which I make, conceive, reduce to practice or develop (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) during my
employment and in connection with the business of the Company, shall be the sole property of the Company to the maximum extent
permitted by Section 2870 of the California Labor Code. I hereby assign, without further consideration, all such Inventions ("Company
Inventions") to the Company (free and clear of all liens and encumbrances), and the Company shall be the sole owner of all
Rights in connection therewith. No assignment in this Agreement shall extend to Inventions, the assignment of which is prohibited
by Labor. Code Section 2870, which states:



    	2



    	 



    



 


Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that
an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to
an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities,
or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:


1.Relate at the time of conception
or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development
of the employer.


2.Result from any work performed
by the employee for the employer.


I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which have been
made and which are made by me (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and
which are protectable by copyright are "works made for hire," as defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 USCA,
Section 101). I have not disclosed and will not disclose Inventions covered by this Section 3.3 to any person outside the
Company, unless I am requested to do so by management personnel of the Company.


3.4I have
maintained and agree to maintain adequate and current written records on the development of all Company Inventions and have disclosed
and agree to disclose promptly to the Company all Company Inventions and relevant records, which records will remain the sole property
of the Company. I further agree that all information and records pertaining to any idea, process, trademark, service mark, invention,
technology, computer program, original work or authorship, design, formula, discovery, patent, or copyright that I do not believe
to be a Company Invention, but is conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by me (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly
with others) during my employment, shall be promptly disclosed to the Company (such disclosure to be received in confidence). The
Company shall examine such information to determine if in fact the ideas, process, or invention, etc., constitutes a Company Invention
and is therefore subject to assignment under Section 3.3. I will also disclose to the Company all Inventions conceived,
reduced to practice, used, sold, exploited or developed by me (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) within
one (1) year of the termination of my employment with the Company ("Presumed Inventions"); such disclosures shall
be received by the Company in confidence, to the extent they are not assigned to the Company in Section 3.3, and do not
extend such assignment. Because of the difficulty of establishing when any Presumed Invention is first conceived or developed by
me, or whether it results from access to Proprietary Information or the Company's equipment, facilities, and data, I agree that
all Presumed Inventions and all Rights associated therewith shall be presumed to be Company Inventions and therefore assignable
to the Company_ I can rebut this presumption, if I prove that a Presumed Invention is not a Company Invention.

3.5I agree
to perform, during and after my employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist it, at the
Company's expense, in evidencing, perfecting, recording, obtaining, maintaining, defending and enforcing Rights and/or my assignment
with respect to such Company Inventions in any and all countries. Such acts may include, without limitation, execution of documents
and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings. Should the Company be unable to secure my signature on any document necessary
to apply for, prosecute, obtain, enforce or defend any Rights relating to any assigned Invention, whether due to my mental or physical
incapacity or any other cause, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents,
as my agents and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to act for and in my behalf and instead of me, to execute
and file any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the above purposes with the same legal force and
effect as if executed by me.


3.6Any
assignment of copyright hereunder (and any ownership of a copyright as a work made for hire) includes all rights of paternity,
integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as "moral rights" (collectively,
"Moral Rights"). To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law and to the extent the following
is allowed by the laws in the various countries where Moral Rights exist, I hereby waive such Moral Rights and consent to any action
of the Company that would violate such Moral Rights in the absence of such waiver and consent. I will confirm any such waivers
and consents from time to time as requested by the Company.


3.7I agree
that I will not incorporate in any way, or permit to be incorporated in any way, any Inventions made, conceived, reduced to practice
or developed by me (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) either: (a) prior to or (b) outside the scope of
my engagement as an independent contractor for the Company ("Prior Inventions"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, I hereby
grant the Company a royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense
through multiple tiers of sublicense) to practice all Rights relating to any Prior Inventions (or other Inventions that are not
assigned or assignable to Company hereunder) that become incorporated in any way, or I permit to be incorporated in any way, in
any Company Inventions or any other Company technology or products.


3.8I understand
that nothing in this Agreement is intended to expand the scope of protection provided me by Sections 2870 through 2872 of the California
Labor Code.


4.Former
Employer Information. I agree that I will not, during my employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any confidential
information, proprietary information or trade secrets of my former or concurrent employers. I agree that I will not bring onto
the premises of the Company any document or any property belonging to my former employers unless consented to in writing by them.
I represent and warrant that I have returned all property and confidential information belonging to all prior employers.


5.Prior
Actions and Knowledge. I represent and warrant that from the time of my first contact or communication with the Company, I
have held in strict confidence all Proprietary Information and have not and will not: (a) disclose any Proprietary Information
or deliver any Company Materials to anyone outside of the Company, or (b) use, copy, publish, or summarize any Proprietary Information
or remove any Company Materials from the business premises of the Company, except to the extent necessary and appropriate to carry
out my responsibilities as an employee of the Company, or (c) improperly use or disclose any confidential information, proprietary
information or trade secrets of my former or concurrent employers or any other third party, or (d) bring onto the premises of the
Company any document or any property belonging .to my former employers unless consented to in writing by them.

6.No
Conflict with Obligations to Third Parties. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement has not breached
and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary or confidential information acquired by me in confidence or
in trust prior to my employment with the Company_ I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either
written or oral in conflict herewith or in conflict with my employment with the Company. The performance of this Agreement does
not and will not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation or any proprietary or other right of any third party.


7.Remedies;
Waiver. I recognize that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit any remedy of the Company under the California Uniform
Trade Secrets Act. I recognize that my violation of this Agreement could cause the Company irreparable harm, the amount of which
may be extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Therefore, I agree that the Company
shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order restraining any breach or threatened breach of
this Agreement and for any other relief the Company deems appropriate. This right shall be in addition to any other remedy available
to the Company. I ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT I SHALL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, HAVE ANY RIGHT TO SEEK OR ATTEMPT TO
SEEK ANY INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AGAINST THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OR THREATENED BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND I HEREBY
WAIVE ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS AGAINST THE COMPANY.


8.Survival.
I agree that my obligations under Sections 1, 3, and 7 through 15 of this Agreement shall continue in effect after termination
of my employment, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary
on my part, and that the Company is entitled to communicate my obligations under this Agreement to any future employer or potential
employer of mine.


9.Controlling
Law; Venue; Severability. I agree that the sole jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject matter hereof shall
be the state and federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, California. I further agree that if one or more provisions
of this Agreement are held to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable California law, such illegal or unenforceable portion(s)
shall be limited or excluded from this Agreement to the minimum extent required so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in
full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms.


10.Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon me, my heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators and shall inure to the
benefit of the Company, its subsidiaries, successors and assigns. The failure, whether purposeful or otherwise, to exercise in
any instance any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or under law shall not constitute a waiver of any other right,
power or privilege, nor of the same right, power or privilege in any other instance.

11.Entire
Agreement/Modification. The terms of this Agreement (including all attached Exhibits, which are incorporated herein by this
reference) are the final expression of my agreement with respect to its subject matter and may not be contradicted by evidence
of any prior or contemporaneous agreement. This Agreement can only be modified by a subsequent written agreement executed by an
officer of the Company.


12.Integration.
This Agreement supersedes all, and may not be contradicted by evidence of any, other prior and contemporaneous agreements and statements
on these subjects. If any practices, policies, or procedures of the Company, now or in the future, that apply to me are inconsistent
with the terms hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall control unless changed in writing by the Company.


13.Employment
at Will. This Agreement is not an employment agreement. Except as set forth in my employment agreement, if any, the Company
may terminate my employment with it at any time, with or without cause.


14.Construction.
