            designs, analyses, reports, and all similar or related information which relates to the Company's actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made


          by the Employee while employed by the Company ("Work Product") belong to the Company. The Employee will promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and perform all actions
          reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Term) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and
          other instruments).   If requested by the Company, the Employee agrees to execute any inventions assignment and confidentiality agreement that is required to be signed by employees of the Employer generally.

     

    (g) Return of Company Property and Post-Termination Cooperation.
          Upon termination of the Employee's employment with the Employer for any reason, and at any earlier time Employer requests, the Employee will deliver to the person designated by the Employer all originals and copies of all documents and property
          of the Employer that is in the Employee's possession or under the Employee's control or to which the Employee may have access. The Employee will not reproduce or appropriate for the Employee's own
            use, or for the use of others, any property, Proprietary Information or Work Product. Following any termination of Employee's employment for any reason, Employee will reasonably cooperate with Company to assist with existing or future investigations, proceedings, litigation, depositions, subpoenas, or examination involving the Company. For each day, or part thereof, that Employee provides assistance to Company as
          contemplated hereunder, Company shall pay Employee an amount equal to (x) divided by (y), where (x) equals the sum of Base Salary earned immediately prior to termination of Employee's
          employment, and (y) equals 200. In addition, Company will reimburse Employee for reasonable out-of-pocket travel, lodging and other incidental expenses Employee incurs in providing such assistance. If travel is requested by the Company, Employee shall make reasonable good faith efforts to travel to such locations as the Company may reasonably request

    (h)  Non-Disparagement. The Employee covenants and agrees that, except as set forth in Section 15(e) above, during the Term, and following termination of the Term, the
          Employee shall not make any disparaging remarks or communications, written or oral, regarding the Employer or its services, products, brands, trademarks, directors, officers, employees, consultants,
            advisors, licensors, licensees, customers, vendors or others with which it has a
            business relationship. The Employer covenants and agrees that during the Term, and following termination of the Term, the Employer shall not authorize any person to make to any person who
            is not an officer, employee, consultant, advisor or affiliate of the Company, any disparaging remarks or communications, written or oral, regarding the Employee.

     

    
      16. Legal and Equitable Remedies; Arbitration.

    

     

    (a) Because the Employee's services are personal and unique and the Employee has had and will continue to have access to and has become and will continue to become acquainted with the Proprietary
          Information of the Company and its affiliates, and because any breach by the Employee of any of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 15 would result in irreparable injury and damage
          for which money damages would not provide an adequate remedy, the Company shall have the right to enforce Section 15 and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to
          any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach, or threatened breach, of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 15.   The Employee agrees that in any action in which the Company seeks injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, the Employee will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of Section 15 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. 

     

    (b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement in connection with equitable remedies, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Employee's


          employment with the Company (collectively, "Disputes"), including, without limitation, any dispute, claim or controversy concerning the
            validity, enforceability, breach or termination of this Agreement, if not resolved by the parties, shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the then-prevailing Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified herein ("Rules"). Further, the Employee hereby waives any right to bring on behalf of persons other than the Employee, or to otherwise participate with other persons in, any class, collective, or representative action (including but not limited to any representative action under any federal, state or local statute or ordinance).


          The requirement to arbitrate covers all Disputes (other than disputes which by statute are not arbitrable) including, but not limited to, claims, demands or actions under the Age Discrimination


          in Employment Act (including Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); Americans with Disabilities Act; Civil Rights Act of 1866; Civil Rights Act of 1991; Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; Equal Pay Act; Family and Medical Leave Act
          of 1993; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Fair Labor Standards Act; Fair Employment and Housing Act; any other law, ordinance or regulation regarding discrimination or harassment or any
            terms or conditions of employment; and any claim under tort, contractual, statutory, or constitutional law. There shall be one arbitrator who shall be jointly selected by the parties. If the parties have not jointly agreed upon an
          arbitrator within twenty (20) calendar days after respondent's receipt of claimant's notice of intention to arbitrate, either party may request AAA, or such other arbitration provider as to which the
            parties agree, to furnish the parties with a list of names from which the parties shall jointly select an arbitrator. If the parties have not agreed upon an arbitrator within ten
          (10) calendar days after the transmittal date of such list, then each party shall have an additional five (5) calendar days in which to strike any names objected to, number the remaining names in
            order of preference, and return the list to AAA, or such other arbitration provider as to which the parties agree, which shall then select an arbitrator in accordance with the Rules. The place of arbitration shall be the United States
          Virgin Islands. By agreeing to arbitration, the parties hereto do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, including, without limitation, with respect
            to the provisions of Section 15. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. The determination as to arbitrability shall be made by the arbitrator. A party who files in court a claim that is
          subject to arbitration hereunder shall, upon request by the other party, immediately withdraw or dismiss such claim. Judgment upon the award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court of
          competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall: (a) have authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be available under
          applicable law in a court proceeding; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded as to each claim, the reasons
            for the award, and the arbitrator's essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The Company shall pay all administrative fees of AAA, or such other arbitration
        provider as to which the parties agree, in excess of $435 (a typical filing fee in court) and the arbitrator's fees and expenses. Each party shall bear its, his or her own costs and expenses (including
          attorney's fees) in any such arbitration and, at the conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator shall have the power to award to the prevailing party any and all costs and expenses
          incurred with respect to such arbitration, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and costs. The prevailing party shall be determined based upon an assessment of which party's arguments or positions could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party's arguments or positions on major disputed issues in the arbitration. Such assessment should include evaluation of the following: the amount of the net recovery; the primary issues disputed by the parties; whether the amount of the award comprises a significant percentage of the amount sought by the claimant; and the most recent settlement positions of the parties. In the event any portion of this arbitration provision is found unenforceable by a court
          of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall become null and void leaving the remainder of this arbitration provision in full force and effect. The parties agree that all information regarding the arbitration, including any settlement
        thereof, shall not be disclosed by the parties hereto, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

    (c) In the event that a party seeks injunctive relief in aid of an arbitration, or if for any reason arbitration is unavailable,
            or if the Company seeks injunctive relief pursuant to Section 16(a) of this Agreement, the Employee irrevocably and unconditionally (1) agrees that any legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement shall be brought solely in the United
          States District Court for the United States Virgin Islands, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in the United
          States Virgin Islands, (2) consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding, and (3) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any such
          court. The Employee also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices or other papers.

     

    (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee's employment has been terminated without Cause or the Employee has resigned for Good Reason and the Employee then breaches any of the Employee's
          obligations under Section 15, the Company shall be obligated to provide to the Employee only the Accrued Obligations and any Separation Pay and Benefits being paid, made or provided to or on behalf of Employee under Section 7 hereof shall cease,
          and the Company may require that the Employee repay all amounts theretofore paid to him pursuant to Section 7 hereof(other than the Accrued Obligations), and in such case, the Employee shall promptly repay such amounts on the terms determined by
          the Company.

     

    17. Survival. The respective rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, under Sections 15 and 16) shall survive any termination of the Employee's employment or termination or expiration of this Agreement to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

     

    18. No Mitigation or Set-Off. In no event shall the Employee be obligated to
          seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced regardless of whether the Employee obtains other
          employment. The Company's and the Employer's obligations to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform their respective obligations hereunder shall not be
          affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company or the Employer may have against the Employee or
          others.

     

    19. Section 280G. In the event of a change in ownership or control of the Company under Section 280G of the Code, if it shall be determined that any payment or distribution in the nature of
          compensation (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this
            Agreement or otherwise (a "Payment"), would constitute an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, the aggregate present value
          of the Payments under this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount (defined below) if and only if the Accounting Firm (described below) determines that the reduction will provide the Employee with a greater net
          after-tax benefit than would no reduction. No reduction shall be made unless the reduction would provide Employee with a greater net after-tax benefit. The determinations under this Section shall be made as follows:

     

    (a) The "Reduced Amount" shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Payments under this Agreement without causing any Payment under this Agreement to be subject to the
          Excise Tax (defined below), determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. The term "Excise Tax" means the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax.

     

       

    
      8

      
        


    

    (b) Payments under this Agreement shall be reduced on a nondiscretionary basis in such a way as to minimize the reduction in the economic value deliverable to the Employee. Where more
            than one payment has the same value for this purpose and they are payable at different times, they will be reduced on a pro rata basis.   Only amounts payable under this Agreement shall be
            reduced pursuant to this Section.

     

    (c) All determinations to be made under this Section shall be made by an independent certified public accounting firm selected by the Company and agreed to by the Employee immediately
            prior to the change-in-ownership or -control transaction (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm shall provide its
          determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee within ten (10) days of the transaction. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Finn in performing the determinations referred to in this Section shall be borne solely by the Company or the Employer.

     

    20. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement or necessary or convenient in connection herewith
            shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when hand delivered, or delivered by FEDEX or similar overnight courier service, as follows (provided that notice of change of
            address shall be deemed given only when received):

The Employee shall bear all expense of, and be solely
          responsible for, all federal, state, territorial and local taxes due with respect to any payment received under this Agreement.

     

    22. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No remedy conferred upon a party by this Agreement is intended


            to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing
            at law or in equity. No delay or omission by a party in exercising any right, remedy


            or power under this Agreement or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof, and any such right, remedy or power may be exercised by such party from time to time and
            as often as may be deemed expedient or necessary by such party in its sole discretion.

     

    23. Assignment. 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 the Employee under this
          Agreement are of a personal nature and shall not be assignable or delegable in whole or in part by the Employee. The Employer may assign its rights, together with its obligations hereunder, in
            connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its business and assets, and such rights and obligations shall inure to, and be binding upon, any successor to the business or any successor to substantially all of the assets of the Employer, as applicable, whether by merger, purchase of stock


          or assets or otherwise, which successor shall expressly assume such obligations, and the Employee acknowledges that in such event the obligations of the Employee hereunder, including but not
          limited to those under Section 15, will continue to apply in favor of the successor.

    24. Company Policies. This Agreement and the compensation payable hereunder shall be subject to any applicable clawback or recoupment policies, share trading policies, and other policies that may be implemented by the Board from
          time to time with respect to officers of the Company; provided, that the repayment provisions in Sections 2(b) and 16(d) hereof shall not be modified unless required by applicable statute or regulation or by applicable rule of a regulatory or self regulatory organization.

     

    25. Indemnification. In the event the Employee is made, or threatened to be made, a party to any legal action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, including any governmental or regulatory proceedings or investigations, by reason of the fact that the Employee is or was a director or officer of
          the Company, the Employee shall be indemnified by the Company, except to the extent such liability is attributable to the Employee's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and the Company shall pay the Employee's related expenses when and as
          incurred, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Company's articles of incorporation and bylaws. During the Employee's employment with the Company and after termination of the Employee's employment for any reason, the Company
          shall cover the Employee under the Company's directors' and officers' insurance policy applicable to other officers and directors according to the terms of such policy. 1n case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against the Employee in respect of which the Employee seeks
        indemnification from the Employer, the Employer shall be entitled to participate in and, unless a conflict of interest exists between the Employee and the Employer with respect to such action,
          proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Employee. 1n the event that the Employer advises the Employee that it will contest such
        a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify the Employee, in writing, of its
      election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it
        commences such defense), then the Employee may, at his option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the Employer elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Employee's costs and
        expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder,
        provided that the Company shall pay Employee's legal fees and expenses for his defense of any such action, claim or proceeding as such fees and expenses are
        incurred by Employee and Employee delivers invoices for such fees and expenses to the Company for payment. The Employee shall cooperate fully with the Employer in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Employer and shall furnish to the Employer all information reasonably available to the indemnified party, which relates to such action
        or claim.

    

       

    26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and
            understandings concerning the Employee's employment by the Employer. This Agreement may be changed only by a written document signed by the Employee and the Employer.

     

    27. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or application thereof to anyone or under any circumstances is adjudicated to be invalid or
            unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or application of this Agreement, which can be given effect without the invalid
            or unenforceable provision or application and shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision or application in any other jurisdiction.   If any provision is held void, invalid or unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other
        circumstances. 

     

    28. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive and procedural laws of
          the United States Virgin Islands without regard to rules governing conflicts of law.

     

    29. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile counterparts, .pdf copy counterparts
            transmitted via email, or similar electronically signed counterparts), each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
