(the "Base Salary"), less applicable withholdings, which amount shall be paid in accordance with the Company's regular payroll
practices. Executive's Base Salary shall be reviewed periodically and may be increased by an amount determined by the Company, in its

close of each fiscal year, the actual amount of the Discretionary Bonus, if any, shall be determined by the BoD and Compensation Committee,
in their sole and absolute discretion, and may be based on, among other things, the portion of the fiscal year falling in the Term, Executive's
overall performance, and the performance of the Company. No Discretionary Bonus shall be earned until the BoD and Compensation Committee
determine the amount thereof, if any, and communicates the same in writing to Executive. No amount of the Discretionary Bonus is guaranteed
and Executive must be an employee of the Company in good standing on the Discretionary Bonus payment date to be eligible to receive a
Discretionary Bonus and only absent an issue of solvency and/or a material adverse effect on the U.S. business; e.g. a material regulatory
compliance breach/material customer data breach/material brand impact, or similar event.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, per Section 3.7.3 in the event Executive is terminated without Cause or terminates for Good Reason (as those terms are
defined below), or per Section 3.7.4 in the event Executive is terminated due to a Change in Control (as that term is defined below),
prior to the payment date of the Discretionary Bonus, Executive will still be eligible to earn the Discretionary Bonus, if any.


 


Executive
shall not receive any Discretionary Bonus: (a) for any fiscal year in which Executive does not work for the Company, regardless of the
reason(s) for Executive's termination; (b) if Executive is terminated for Cause; (c) if Executive terminates without Good Reason; or

shall continue to be paid Base Salary and benefits, less applicable withholdings, which amounts shall be paid in accordance with the
Company's regular payroll practices for the entire six month period. The Company shall also have the right during the period between

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the period during which Executive may sign the Release begins in one calendar year and

    7


     

    

 


The
payments required to be made under Section 3.7.3 shall be reduced by the amount of any severance pay due or otherwise paid to Executive
pursuant to any severance pay plan of the Company to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively,
"Section 409A").


 


Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation to make the addition payments described in this section shall cease
immediately in the event of a breach of the Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement (Exhibit 1) or IP Assignment
Agreement (Exhibit 2), as discussed below in Section 4 or the Stock Option Program; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall
be construed to affect Executive's right to receive continuation of group health plan benefits under COBRA to the extent authorized and
in accordance with federal law at Executive's own cost.


 


3.8
Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any payments and benefits
provided under this Agreement (the "Benefits") that constitute "deferred compensation" within the meaning
of Section 409A shall not commence in connection with Executive's termination of employment unless and until Executive has also incurred
a Separation from Service, unless the Company reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided to Executive without causing Executive
to incur the additional 20% tax under Section 409A. It is intended that each installment of the Benefits payments 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 the Benefits payments set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the
application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if
the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that the Benefits constitute "deferred compensation"
under Section 409A and Executive 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 Benefits payments shall be delayed until the earlier to
occur of: (i) the date that is six months and one day after Executive's Separation from Service, or (ii) the date of Executive's death
(such applicable date, the "Specified Employee Initial Payment Date"), the Company (or the successor entity thereto,
as applicable) shall (A) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Benefits payments that Executive would otherwise
have received through the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the Benefits had not been so
delayed pursuant to this Section and (B) commence paying the balance of the Benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedules
set forth in this Agreement. While it is intended that all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise to Executive
will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A, the Company makes no representation or covenant to ensure that any such payments or
benefits are exempt from or compliant with Section 409A. The Company will have no liability to Executive or any other party if a payment
or benefit under this Agreement is challenged by any taxing authority or is ultimately determined not to be exempt or compliant. Executive
further understands and agrees that Executive will be entirely responsible for any and all taxes on any payments and benefits provided
to Executive as a result of this Agreement. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided
in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section
409A, including, where applicable, the requirements that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Executive's lifetime (or
during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar
year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense
will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred and (iv) the right to
reimbursement is not subject to set off or liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.


 


3.9
No Further Obligations. Except as set forth above, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement,
except as otherwise provided by law or under any benefit plan then in effect in which Executive participates and then only in accordance
with such benefit plan.


 


3.10
Return of Property. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall immediately return to the Company without condition
all files, records, keys, and other property of the Company.

4.
confidentiality and intellectual property agreements.


 


The
Executive acknowledges, understands, and agrees that the Executive's employment with the Company is subject to and conditioned upon the
Executive's execution of the Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and the IP Assignment
Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 2, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Executive also acknowledges,
understands, and agrees that the terms and conditions of these two agreements shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


 


5.

5.1
Arbitration. Any and all disputes, claims or controversies ("Claims") arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity hereof, or the Executive's employment or its termination, that the Company
may have against Executive or that Executive may have against (a) the Company (b) its officers, directors, shareholders, employees or
agents, (c) the Company's affiliated entities, and/or (d) all successors past, present or future, and assigns of any of them, shall be

condition, pregnancy or pregnancy related condition, or any other condition against which discrimination is unlawful under federal, state,
or local law, ordinance, or regulation); claims for benefits (except claims under an executive benefit or pension plan that either specifies
that its claims procedure shall culminate in an arbitration procedure different from this one, or is underwritten by a commercial insurer
which decides claims); and claims for violation of any federal, state, or other governmental law, statute, regulation, or ordinance.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as precluding the Executive from filing a: (i) claim for workers' compensation or unemployment
compensation benefits; and (ii) claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or similar fair employment practices agency in
New York, or an administrative charge within the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board, or the New York Labor Department;
however, any such administrative claim that cannot be resolved administratively through such an agency shall be subject to this Agreement.


 


Except
as otherwise provided herein, arbitration shall be governed by and proceed in accordance with and be subject to the provisions of the
Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"). However, to the extent that the FAA is inapplicable or held not to require arbitration of
a particular Claim or Claims, the New York Arbitration Act (NY CLS CPLR §§ 7501, et seq.) or any successor or replacement statute(s),
shall apply.


 


Except

Any
demand for arbitration shall be in writing and must be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute, or other matter in question
has arisen. In no event shall the demand for arbitration be made after the date that institution of legal or equitable proceedings based
upon such claim, dispute or other matter would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.


 


The
arbitrator shall apply the law of the state of New York or federal law, or both, as applicable to the issues asserted and shall be without
jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The arbitrator shall hear and rule on pre-hearing disputes and is authorized to
hold pre-hearing conferences by telephone or in person, as the arbitrator deems advisable. The arbitrator shall have the authority to
entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions
under New York law. The arbitrator may issue orders to protect the confidentiality of proprietary information, trade secrets or other
sensitive information.


 


Although
conformity to legal rules of evidence shall not be necessary, the arbitrator shall determine the admissibility, relevance, and materiality
of the evidence offered and may exclude evidence deemed by the arbitrator to be cumulative or irrelevant, and shall take into account
applicable principles of legal privilege, such as those involving the confidentiality of communications between a lawyer and client.


 


The
arbitrator shall render an award and a written opinion, which will consist of a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding
the disposition of each Claim and the relief, if any, as to each Claim and also contain a concise written statement of the reasons for
the award, stating the essential findings and conclusions of law upon which the award is based, no later than thirty days from the date
the arbitration hearing concludes or the post hearing briefs (if requested) are received, whichever is later. The award of the arbitrator,
which may include equitable relief, shall be final and binding upon the parties and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with
applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel
arbitration and to enforce an arbitration award.


 


5.2
Mediation. The Parties agree that any and all Claims subject to arbitration as described in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, shall
be first submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in New York City, New York, and if the matter is not resolved through mediation,
then it shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration clause set forth
in Section 5.1 above. Either Party may commence mediation by providing to JAMS and the other Party a written request for mediation, setting
forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The Parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator
from JAMS' panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the mediation proceedings as soon as possible. The Parties covenant that they will participate
in the mediation in good faith. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation
by any of the Parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged
and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the Parties, provided that
evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in
the mediation. Either Party may initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for
arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session. The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if
the Parties so desire. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as arbitrator in the case.
The provisions of this clause may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled
to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees, to be paid l:Sy the Party against whom enforcement is ordered.

5.3
Mediation and arbitration Costs. The Party initiating the mediation and arbitration will be responsible for paying the initial filing
fees with JAMS. The fees of the arbitrator and costs of the mediation and arbitration (except the initial filing fee) shall be borne
equally by the Parties. Each Party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys' fees, if any.


 


5.4
Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in Section 5.5 below, the Parties understand and agree that the mediation and arbitration provisions
of this Agreement shall provide each Party with its/his exclusive remedy with respect to this Agreement, 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 electing 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.


 


5.5
Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the above, either Party may file a request with a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable
relief and expedited discovery, including but not limited to injunctive relief, pending resolution of any Claim through the arbitration
procedure set forth herein; provided, however, in such cases the merits of the Claims will be decided by the Arbitrator, who will have
the same ability to order legal or equitable remedies as a court of general jurisdiction.
