1.  Term  The
Executive’s employment hereunder shall be effective as of February 26, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) and
shall continue until the third anniversary thereof, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement; provided
that, on such third anniversary of the Effective Date and each annual anniversary thereafter (such date and each annual anniversary
thereof, a “Renewal Date”), the Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically extended, upon the same terms

(c)  For
purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following, in each case during
the Employment Term without the Executive’s written consent:


 


(i)
a material reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary other than a general reduction in Base Salary that affects all similarly
situated executives in substantially the same proportions; or


 


(ii)

The
Executive cannot terminate his employment for Good Reason unless he has provided written notice to the Company of the existence
of the circumstances providing grounds for termination for Good Reason within five (5) days of the initial existence of such grounds
and the Company has had at least ten (10) days from the date on which such notice is provided to cure such circumstances. If the
Executive does not terminate his employment for Good Reason within fifteen (15) days after the first occurrence of the applicable

The
Employment Term and the Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Executive for Good Reason or by the Company

the Executive’s compliance with Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement and his execution of a release of claims in favor of
the Company, its affiliates and their respective officers and directors in a form provided by the Company (the “Release”)
and such Release becoming effective within five (5) days following the Termination Date (such five-day period, the “Release
Execution Period”), the Executive shall be entitled to receive continued Base Salary for one year following the
Termination Date payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, but no less frequently

purposes of this Agreement, Disability shall mean the Executive’s inability, due to physical or mental incapacity, to substantially
perform his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement for one hundred twenty (120) days out of any three hundred sixty-five
(365) day period; provided however, in the event the Company temporarily replaces the Executive, or transfers the Executive’s
duties or responsibilities to another individual on account of the Executive’s inability to perform such duties due to a
mental or physical incapacity which is, or is reasonably expected to become, a Disability, then the Executive’s employment
shall not be deemed terminated by the Company. Any question as to the existence of the Executive’s Disability as to which
the Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable
to the Executive and the Company. If the Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each

determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and the Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of
this Agreement.

The
Executive understands that the above list is not exhaustive, and that Confidential Information also includes other information
that is marked or otherwise identified as confidential or proprietary, or that would otherwise appear to a reasonable person to
be confidential or proprietary in the context and circumstances in which the information is known or used.


 


The
Executive understands and agrees that Confidential Information includes information developed by him in the course of his employment
by the Company as if the Company furnished the same Confidential Information to the Executive in the first instance. Confidential
Information shall not include information that is generally available to and known by the public at the time of disclosure to
the Executive; provided that, such disclosure is through no direct or indirect fault of the Executive or person(s) acting on the
Executive’s behalf.


 


(b)  Disclosure
and Use Restrictions.


 


The
Executive agrees and covenants: (i) to treat all Confidential Information as strictly confidential; (ii) not to directly or indirectly
disclose, publish, communicate or make available Confidential Information, or allow it to be disclosed, published, communicated
or made available, in whole or part, to any entity or person whatsoever (including other employees of the Company) not having
a need to know and authority to know and use the Confidential Information in connection with the business of the Company and,
in any event, not to anyone outside of the direct employ of the Company except as required in the performance of the Executive’s
authorized employment duties to the Company acting on behalf of the Company in each instance (and then, such disclosure shall
be made only within the limits and to the extent of such duties); and (iii) not to access or use any Confidential Information,
and not to copy any documents, records, files, media or other resources containing any Confidential Information, or remove any
such documents, records, files, media or other resources from the premises or control of the Company, except as required in the
performance of the Executive’s authorized employment duties to the Company acting on behalf of the Company in each instance
(and then, such disclosure shall be made only within the limits and to the extent of such duties). Nothing herein shall be construed
to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or pursuant to the valid
order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the
extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation or order.


 


The
Executive understands and acknowledges that his obligations under this Agreement with regard to any particular Confidential Information
shall commence immediately upon the Executive first having access to such Confidential Information (whether before or after he
begins employment by the Company) and shall continue during and after his employment by the Company until such time as such Confidential
Information has become public knowledge other than as a result of the Executive’s breach of this Agreement or breach by
those acting in concert with the Executive or on the Executive’s behalf.

is via working together in the affairs of the Company. No waiver by either of the parties of any breach by the other party hereto
of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party hereto shall be deemed a waiver of any similar
or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time, nor shall the failure of or delay by either
of the parties in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver thereof to preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.


 


10.  Severability  Should
any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be enforceable only if modified, or if any portion

parties further agree that any such court is expressly authorized to modify any such unenforceable provision of this Agreement
in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision,
deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Agreement or by making such other modifications
as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted

The
parties expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified by the court shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of
them. In any event, should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and if such provision
or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions had not been set forth herein.
