4.             Independent Contractor; Performance. For purposes of this Agreement and all Services to be provided hereunder, Consultant

The Consultant shall provide the Services in compliance with all applicable laws, and without limiting the foregoing, confirms

(other than as necessary in the performance of the Consultant’s duties as an independent contractor for the Company) without
written approval by an officer of the Company. “Confidential Information” includes, without limitation, all information
of a private, secret or confidential nature, whether or not in written form, relating to the Company’s business and financial
affairs and the business and financial affairs of the Company’s clients, and which has not been made available to the general
public by the Company, including without limitation, inventions, trade secrets, processes, techniques, formulas, compositions,
computer programs, system and component designs, specifications, computer software, technical or non-technical data, financial
data (including profits, sales costs and price information), personnel data, personnel files, pricing strategies, lists or knowledge
of actual or potential clients, customers, and suppliers, or any marketing or product information. The Consultant agrees not to
use any such Confidential Information other than as authorized, for the benefit of the Company. The Consultant shall use reasonable
care to safeguard from loss or misapplication all Confidential Information which comes into such Consultant’s possession
or control.

whatsoever upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Consultant, and (b) immediately upon written notice to Consultant,
if any of the Services is performed or is being performed in an unsatisfactory manner, as determined by the Company in its discretion.
Within five (5) days after any termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall deliver to the Company all Work Product resulting
from the performance of the Services.


 


7.             No Conflicting Agreements; Nonexclusive Engagement.


 


(a)               
Consultant will not enter into any agreement that is in conflict with Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement.
Subject to the foregoing, Consultant may from time to time act as a consultant to, perform professional services for, or enter
into agreements similar to this Agreement with other persons or entities without the necessity of obtaining approval from the Company.

(b)              
The Company may from time to time (i) engage other persons and entities to act as consultants to the Company and perform
services for the Company, including services that are similar to the Services, and (ii) enter into agreements similar to this Agreement
with other persons or entities, in all cases without the necessity of obtaining approval from Consultant.


 


8.             Return of Company Property. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6, promptly upon the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, or earlier if requested by the Company, Consultant shall deliver to the Company (and will not keep
in Consultant’s possession or deliver to anyone else) all Confidential Information.


 


9.             Arbitration and Equitable Relief.


 


(a)               
Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 9(b) below, Consultant and the Company agree that any dispute or controversy
arising out of or relating to any interpretation, construction, performance or breach of this Agreement shall be settled by final
and binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA").

the parties hereto, and may be entered in any competent court for judicial acceptance of such an award and order of enforcement.
The proceedings will be conducted and all documentation will be presented in English. Where the rules of the AAA are silent, the
laws of the New York, including procedural and evidentiary laws and rules, will control. The award will be rendered within sixty
(60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration hearing. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or
controversy.


 


(b)              
Equitable Remedies. Consultant agrees that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate the Company’s
damages from any breach of the covenants set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement. Accordingly, Consultant and the Company agree
that if Consultant breaches or is accused of breaching any of such covenants, the Company will have available, in addition to any
other right or remedy available, the right to seek an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such breach
or threatened breach and to order specific performance of any such provision of this Agreement, and Consultant will have available
the right to seek declaratory relief from a court of competent jurisdiction regarding such alleged breach or threatened breach.
Consultant further agrees that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief and Consultant hereby
consents to the issuance of such injunction and to the ordering of such specific performance.


 


10.           Entire Agreement; Amendment and Assignment. This Agreement is the sole agreement between Consultant and the Company
with respect to the Services to be performed hereunder and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect thereto,
whether oral or written. No modification to any provision of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by both
Consultant and the Company. No waiver of any rights under this Agreement will be effective unless in writing signed by the party
to be charged. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, except
that the duties and responsibilities of Consultant hereunder are of a personal nature and shall not be assignable or delegable
in whole or in part by Consultant.
