NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties mutually agree as follows:


1.

2.                 
Duties. The Employee shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, with such duties, responsibilities
and authority as are commensurate and consistent with his position, as may be, from time to time, assigned to him by the Board
of Directors (the “Board”) of the Corporation. The Employee shall report directly to the Board. During the Term (as
defined in Section 3), the Employee shall devote his full business time and efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder
unless otherwise authorized by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the expenditure of reasonable amounts of time by the
Employee for the making of passive personal investments, the conduct of business affairs and charitable and professional activities
shall be allowed, provided such activities do not materially interfere with the services required to be rendered to the Corporation
hereunder and do not violate the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 9 below. 


3.                 
Term of Employment. The term of the Employee’s employment hereunder, unless sooner terminated as provided herein
(the “Initial Term”), shall be for a period of two (2) years commencing on the Effective Date. The term of this Agreement
shall automatically be extended for additional terms of one (1) year each (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either party
gives prior written notice of non-renewal to the other party no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial
Term (“Non-Renewal Notice”), or the then current Renewal Term, as the case may be. For purposes of this Agreement,
the Initial Term and any Renewal Term are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Term.” 


4.                 
Compensation of Employee. The Corporation shall pay the Employee as compensation for his/her services hereunder, in monthly
installments during the Term, the sum of $200,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), less such deductions as shall
be required to be withheld by applicable law and regulations and monthly advances against the salary. The Corporation shall review
the Base Salary at least annually and has the right but not the obligation to increase it but such salary shall not be decreased
during the Term






    


     


    




 


(a)               
In addition to the Base Salary set forth in Section 4(a), the Employee shall be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus in an
amount equal to up to one hundred percent (100%) of his then-current Base Salary if the Corporation meets or exceeds criteria
adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) for earning
bonuses which criteria shall be adopted by the Compensation Committee at least annually. Bonuses shall be paid by the Corporation
to the Employee promptly after determination that the relevant targets have been met, it being understood that the attainment
of any financial targets associated with any bonus shall not be determined until following the completion of the Corporation’s
annual audit and public announcement of such results and bonuses shall be paid promptly following the Corporation’s announcement
of earnings. 


(b)              
Equity Awards. Employee shall be eligible for such grants of awards under stock option or other equity incentive plans of the
Corporation adopted by the Board and approved by the Corporation’s stockholders (or any successor or replacement plan adopted
by the Board and approved by the Corporation’s stockholders) (the “Plan”) as the Compensation Committee
of the Corporation may from time to time determine (the “Share Awards”). Share Awards shall be subject to the
applicable Plan terms and conditions, provided, however, that Share Awards shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions
as are provided herein or in any award certificate(s), which shall supersede any conflicting provisions governing Share Awards
provided under the Plan. 


(c)               
The Corporation shall pay or reimburse the Employee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred or paid by the
Employee in the course of his employment, including all reasonable expenses for the use of a cell phone in connection with Employee’s
employment with the Corporation, consistent with the Corporation’s policy for reimbursement of expenses from time to time
and home office reimbursement, if applicable. 


(d)              
The Employee shall be entitled to participate in such pension, profit sharing, group insurance, hospitalization, and group health
and benefit plans and all other benefits and plans, including perquisites, if any, as the Corporation provides to its senior Employees,
including group family health insurance coverage which shall be paid by the Corporation (the “Benefit Plans”).
In the event the Corporation does not have a health benefit plan in place, or the health benefit plan is limited geographically,

his dependents, in an amount not to exceed $1,500 per month. 


(e)               
Additional Fringe Benefit: The Employee shall be entitled to the use of a company-provided vehicle, including repairs, licenses,

at such time and the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date, the Employee or his estate
or beneficiaries, as applicable, shall be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) continued provision for a period of
twelve (12) months following the Employee’s death or Total Disability of benefits under Benefit Plans extended from time

date of termination and any other benefits accrued to him under any Benefit Plans outstanding at such time and the reimbursement

5(a)(iii), 5(a)(iv), or 5(a)(vi) (i.e., without “Cause”), in addition to the accrued but unpaid compensation through

Salary, equal to six months of Base Salary, to be paid in a single lump sum payment not later than sixty (60) days following such
termination, less withholding of all applicable taxes; (ii) continued provision for a period of twelve (12) months after the date
of termination of the benefits under Benefit Plans extended from time to time by the Corporation to its senior Employees; and
(iii) payment on a pro-rated basis of any bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan to which the Employee

Section 409A. 


The
provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
and any final regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) and shall be construed in a
manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. The Corporation and Employee agree
to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary,
appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Employee under
Section 409A.



    6 


     


    




To
the extent that Employee will be reimbursed for costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as otherwise permitted by Section
409A, (a) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (b) the
amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses
eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year; provided that the foregoing clause
(b) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely
because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect and (c) such payments shall be
made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which you incurred the expense.


A
termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the
payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a “Separation
from Service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement references to
a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean Separation from Service.


Each
installment payable hereunder shall constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b), including
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). Each payment that is made within the terms of the “short-term deferral”
rule set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) is intended to meet the “short-term deferral” rule. Each
other payment is intended to be a payment upon an involuntary termination from service and payable pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), et. seq., to the maximum extent permitted by that regulation, with any amount that is not exempt
from Code Section 409A being subject to Code Section 409A.


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A
at the time of Employee’s termination, then only that portion of the severance and benefits payable to Employee pursuant
to this Agreement, if any, and any other severance payments or separation benefits which may be considered deferred compensation
under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”), which (when considered together) do
not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined herein) may be made within the first six (6) months following Employee’s termination
of employment in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Any portion of the Deferred Compensation
Separation Benefits in excess of the Section 409A Limit otherwise due to Employee on or within the six (6) month period following
Employee’s termination will accrue during such six (6) month period and will become payable in one lump sum cash payment
on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Employee’s termination of employment. All subsequent Deferred
Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or
benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Employee dies following termination but prior to the six (6) month
anniversary of Employee’s termination date, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable
in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Employee’s death and all other Deferred Compensation
Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.


For
purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean a sum equal (x) to the amounts payable prior to March 15
following the year in which Employee terminations plus (y) the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Employee’s annualized compensation
based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Employee during the Corporation’s taxable year preceding the Corporation’s
taxable year of Employee’s termination of employment as determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and
any IRS guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan
pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Employee’s employment is terminated.

Miscellaneous. 


a.                  
The Employee acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him under the provisions of this Agreement are of a special, unique
and extraordinary character and that it would be difficult or impossible to replace such services. Accordingly, the Employee agrees
that any breach or threatened breach by him of Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement shall entitle the Corporation, in addition to
all other legal remedies available to it, to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened
breach. The parties understand and intend that each restriction agreed to by the Employee hereinabove shall be construed as separable
and divisible from every other restriction, that the unenforceability of any restriction shall not limit the enforceability, in
whole or in part, of any other restriction, and that one or more or all of such restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part
as the circumstances warrant. In the event that any restriction in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by law in
the jurisdiction in which the Corporation seeks enforcement thereof, such restriction shall be limited to the extent permitted
by law. The remedy of injunctive relief herein set forth shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies
that the Corporation may have at law or in equity. 


b.                 
Neither the Employee nor the Corporation may assign or delegate any of their rights or duties under this Agreement without the
express written consent of the other; provided however that the Corporation shall have the right to delegate its obligation of
payment of all sums due to the Employee hereunder, provided that such delegation shall not relieve the Corporation of any of its
obligations hereunder.


c.                  
This Agreement constitutes and embodies the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the Employee’s
employment by the Corporation, supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the Employee
and the Corporation, and shall not be amended, modified or changed except by an instrument in writing executed by the party to
be charged. The invalidity or partial invalidity of one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not invalidate any other provision
of this Agreement. No waiver by either party of any provision or condition to be performed shall be deemed a waiver of similar
or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same time or any prior or subsequent time. 


d.                 
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon and enforceable against, the parties hereto and their respective
successors, heirs, beneficiaries and permitted assigns.

The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement. 


f.                  
All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
