with the prior written consent of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties recognize and agree that Employee may
engage in any other business activity or conduct that is not in competition with the business of the Company and in personal investments
and other business, civic or charitable activities that do not conflict with the business and affairs of the Company or interfere
in any material respect with Employee’s performance of his duties hereunder. The Employee will at all times perform all
of the duties and obligations required of the Employee by the terms of this Agreement in a loyal and conscientious manner and
to the best of the Employee’s ability and experience. Employee agrees to comply in all material respects with (i) the policies

7.1Confidential
Information. Employee, during the course of her duties, will be handling business, financial, accounting, statistical, marketing

shall not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, or used by Employee in any way, either during the term of this Agreement or at
any time thereafter except as required in the course of Employee’s employment with the Company. Employee agrees not to disclose
to any others, or take or use for Employee’s own purposes or purposes of any others, during the term of this Agreement,

employment, including information regarding her visa and work permit status in the United States, and any supplemental information
provided to the Company is complete, true and materially correct in all respects. Employee has not omitted any information that

belonging to another; or (ii) enter into any oral or written agreement in conflict with this Agreement.


 


8.Unfair
Competition; Non-Solicitation.


 


8.1Unfair
Competition. During the term of this Agreement, Employee has a duty of loyalty and a fiduciary duty to the Company. Employee
shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as a partner, employee, creditor, stockholder, or otherwise, promote, participate,
or engage in any activity or other business which is directly competitive to the current operations of the Company or the currently
contemplated future operations of the Company. The obligation of Employee not to compete with the Company shall not prohibit Employee
from owning or purchasing more than a five percent (5%) beneficial interest in any securities that are regularly traded on a recognized
stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market subject to relevant federal and state securities laws. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, upon the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason, Employee shall not use
any of the Company’s confidential, proprietary or trade secrets information to directly or indirectly, either as an employee,
employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director, or any other individual or representative
capacity, engage or participate in any business, wherever located, that is in direct competition with the business of Employer.
Should any portion of this Section be deemed unenforceable because of the scope, duration or territory encompassed by the undertakings
of the Employee hereunder, and only in such event, then the Employee and the Company consent and agree to such limitation on scope,
duration or territory as may be finally adjudicated as enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of
all appeals.

8.2Non-Solicitation
of Customers. While employed by the Company, Employee shall not divert or attempt to divert (by solicitation or other means),
whether directly or indirectly, the Company’s customers for the purpose of inducing or encouraging them to sever their relationship
with the Company or to solicit them in connection with any product or service competing with those products and services offered
and sold by the Company. Also, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, following termination of Employee’s
employment with the Company for any reason, Employee agrees not use any of the Company’s confidential, proprietary or trade
secrets information to directly or indirectly divert or attempt to divert (by solicitation or other means) the Company’s
customers for the purpose of inducing or encouraging them to sever their relationship with the Company or to solicit them in connection
with any product or service competing with those products and services offered and sold by the Company.


 


8.3Non-Disparagement.
Upon termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee agrees to not make any disparaging remarks about the
Company, or any officers, directors, employees, consultants or independent contractors of or to any of the foregoing.


 


9.Trade

during the Term or at any time thereafter, any of the Company’s trade secrets, including without limitation, Confidential
Information, customer and vendor lists, computer programs, applications or software or intellectual property of the Company. Employee
agrees that these restrictions shall also apply to (i) trade secrets belonging to third parties in Company’s possession
and (ii) trade secrets conceived, originated, discovered or developed by Employee during the Term of this Agreement relating to
the affairs of the Company.


 


10.Inventions;
Ownership Rights. Employee agrees that all ideas, techniques, inventions, systems, formulas, designs, discoveries, technical
information, programs, prototypes and similar developments (“Inventions”) developed, created, discovered, made, written
or obtained by Employee in the course of or as a result of performance of her duties hereunder, and all related industrial property,
trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patent rights, moral rights, trade secrets and other forms of protection thereof, shall
be and remain the sole property of the Company and its assigns. Employee shall promptly disclose to Company, or any persons designated
by it, all Inventions, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, during
the Term which are related to or useful in the business of the Company, or result from tasks assigned to Employee by the Company,
or result from use of premises owned, leased or contracted by the Company. Such disclosure shall continue for one year after termination
of employment with respect to anything that would be an Invention if made, conceived, reduced to practice or learned prior to
termination of employment. Employee agrees to execute or cause to be executed such assignments and applications, registrations
and other documents and to take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the Company to enable the Company to protect
its rights to any such Inventions. If the Company requires Employee’s assistance in executing or causing to be executed
such assignments and applications, registrations and other documents under this Section (all of which shall be prepared at the
expense of the Company) after termination of this Agreement, Employee shall do so at mutually convenient times and places and
be compensated for her time actually spent in providing such assistance at a reasonable hourly rate as agreed upon by the parties
and be reimbursed for any necessary expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, reasonably incurred in doing so. In
the event that the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure Employee’s signature to any lawful and necessary
document required to apply for or execute any such documents with respect to Inventions (including renewals, extension, continuations,
divisions or continuations in part thereof), Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized
officers and agents, as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and in her behalf and instead of him, to execute
and file any such application and document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts with respect thereto with the same legal
force and effect as if executed by Employee. As a matter of record Employee has identified beneath her signature hereto a complete
list of all inventions or improvements relevant to the subject matter of her employment by the Company which have been made or
conceived or first reduced to practice by him alone or jointly with others prior to her employment by the Company (“Prior
Inventions”) which Employee desires to remove from the operation of this Agreement; and Employee covenants that such list
is complete. Employee agrees and acknowledges that in further consideration of her employment under this Agreement, in the absence
of such list of Prior Inventions, all Prior Inventions shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and Employee agrees
to execute or cause to be executed such assignments and applications, registrations and other documents and to take such other
action as may be reasonably requested by the Company to enable the Company to protect its rights to any such Prior Inventions.
