of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:


 


1. Employment


 


1.1. Duties.
The Employee shall serve as General Counsel of the Company and any Parent, as applicable in its discretion, and will, under the direction
of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”), faithfully and to the best of the Employee’s ability
perform the duties assigned by the CEO or the Board of Directors of the Company (“Company Board”) and any Board of

to occupy up to 40% of Employee’s working time on average but may occupy more or less time depending on business needs.

2.1. Term.
The Employee’s employment with the Company shall commence on the day that is the first business day immediately following the Effective

Employee terminate the Agreement in accordance with the terms herein (the “Term”).


 


2.2. “At
Will” Employment Status. Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement, at all times the Employee shall be employed
by Company on an “at will” basis, subject to termination in accordance with Section 5.


 


3. Base
Compensation and Incentive Compensation.


 


3.1. Base
Compensation. During the Term, the Company shall pay to the Employee an annual base salary in the amount of $310,000.00 (the “Base
Compensation”). The Base Compensation shall be paid in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s normal
payroll procedures, subject to all applicable taxes and withholdings. The Base Compensation may be increased from time-to-time by the
Company in accordance with the regular compensation review practices of the Company Board and any Parent Board or the Compensation Committee
of the Company Board and any Parent Board (the “Compensation Committee”), as applicable, and may be decreased from
time-to-time by the Company, but only to the extent such decrease is part of an across-the-board salary reduction that applies in a consistent
manner to similarly-situated executives of the Company.


 


3.2. Annual
Bonus. The Employee shall be eligible to participate in a Company annual cash incentive plan, as established by the independent directors
on the Company Board and Parent Board or the Compensation Committee from time to time for similarly-situated executives of the Company,

targets as approved by the independent directors on the Company Board and Parent Board or by the Compensation Committee. The Employee
shall be eligible to participate in any such plan at a target bonus level as determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time,
but such target bonus level shall be no less than 50% of the Employee’s Base Compensation (as then in effect from time to time).
The Employee’s participation in any such plan shall be governed by the terms and conditions of such plan as then in effect and
the decision to provide any bonus opportunity and the amount and terms of any annual bonus shall
be in the sole and absolute discretion of the independent directors on the Company Board and Parent Board or

to the Employee’s employment with the Company on the applicable bonus payment date.

The Employee shall be eligible to participate in any such plan at a target award level as determined by the independent directors on
the Company Board and Parent Board or the Compensation Committee from time to time. The Employee’s participation in any such plan
shall be governed by the terms and conditions of such plan as then in effect and any applicable award agreements, and the

on the Company Board and Parent Board or the Compensation Committee.


 


4. Benefits.


 


4.1. Employee
Benefits. During the Term, the Employee shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit
plans, practices, and programs maintained by the Company, as in effect from time to time to the extent consistent with applicable law
and the terms of the applicable benefit plan, practice or program. Notwithstanding anything otherwise provided under this Agreement,

and the Company reserves the right to amend, establish or terminate any benefit plan, practice
or program at any time in its sole discretion.


 


4.2. Paid
Time Off. During the Term, the Employee will be entitled to paid time off on a substantially-similar

with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures (including the requirement to provide appropriate documentation
of such expenses), as in effect from time to time.


 


5. Termination
of Employment


 


5.1. Termination
for Cause. The Company shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment with the
Company at any time for any of the following causes (each a “Cause”):


 


(a) Any
act of fraud, dishonesty, gross negligence, misrepresentation, or embezzlement, misappropriation, or conversion of assets of the Company
or any of its affiliates (or attempt to do any of the foregoing);


 


(b) Subject
to any protections set forth under applicable laws, commission of, indictment for, conviction of, pleading guilty or nolo contendere
to, or engaging in any crime that constitutes a felony or any crime or other act involving fraud, theft, embezzlement, or moral turpitude;


 






    3


     


    

 


(c) Subject
to any protections set forth under applicable laws, commission of, conviction of, pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, or engaging
in any crime or other act that violates any other law, rule, or regulation that the Company Board and Parent Board reasonably determines
is job-related and/or is likely to have an adverse impact on the performance of the Employee’s duties under this Agreement;


 


(d) Willful
or material violation of any federal, state, or foreign securities laws;

(f) Continued
failure by the Employee to perform the Employee’s duties or responsibilities to the Company or its affiliates (other than absence
due to bona fide illness or Disability as defined herein);


 


(g) The
Employee’s failure or refusal to comply with the lawful directions of the CEO or the Company Board and Parent Board;


 


(h) Making
of threats or engaging in acts of violence in the workplace;


 


(i) Engaging
in sexual, racial, or other forms of harassment or discrimination in violation of the law or Company policies;


 


(j) Breach
of the Employee’s fiduciary duties or confidentiality obligations or engaging in any other act of material dishonesty or disloyalty
toward the Company;


 


(k) Violating
any of the Company’s written policies or codes of conduct including, but not limited to, written policies related to equal employment
opportunity, performance of illegal or unethical activities, and ethical misconduct;


 


(l) Repeatedly
reporting to work under the influence of alcohol or drugs in a manner that impacts the Employee’s ability to perform the duties
of the Employee’s job or the obligations under this Agreement;


 


(m) The
Employee’s failure to obtain and/or maintain proper authorization to work in the United States commensurate with the needs of the
Company;


 


(n) The
Employee’s voluntary resignation or other termination of employment effected by the Employee at any time when the Company could
effect a termination for Cause pursuant to this Agreement; and/or


 


(o) The
Employee’s material breach of any term of this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates or failure
to perform any of the Employee’s duties to the satisfaction of the Company Board and Parent Board.


 


The
Company Board and Parent Board shall, in its sole discretion, have the authority to make the determination that the Employee has been
terminated for Cause. Upon the effectiveness of any termination for Cause by the Company, the Company shall have no further obligation
under this Agreement and payment of all compensation to the Employee under this Agreement shall cease immediately, except for (i) any
payment of compensation accrued but unpaid through the date of such termination for Cause, (ii) any vested employee benefits covered
by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, to which the Employee is entitled upon termination of employment
with the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plans of the Company, as applicable, and (iii) reimbursement
for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by the Employee on or prior to the Employee’s last date of employment with the
Company pursuant to Section 4.3 (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”). In the event that (1) the Employee’s
employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than for Cause and (2) any of the facts and circumstances described in the
definition of Cause existed as of the date of such termination (whether or not known by the Company Board and Parent Board or the Company
or any of its affiliates as of the time of such termination or discovered after any such termination), then, the Company may deem such
termination of employment to have been for Cause, and such termination shall be treated as a termination by the Company for Cause and
the Employee acknowledges that the Employee’s compensation may also be subject to any clawback provisions required by law, rule,
regulation or Company policy (as in effect upon the Commencement Date or any time thereafter), as well as any other agreement between
the Company and the Employee that provides for clawback of any compensation or equity in the Company (including any equity related awards).

5.2. Termination
by the Company Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment
without Cause, at any time, and for any reason or no reason at all, subject to the following:


 


(a) If
the Company terminates this Agreement and the Employee’s employment and such termination is not a termination for Cause under Section
5.1, then the Employee shall receive the Accrued Amounts and a cash payment from the Company as severance (the “Severance Payment”)
equal to six (6) months of Base Compensation as in effect at the time of the termination, subject to all applicable federal, state, local
and other withholdings. The Severance Payment shall be paid in substantially equal installments with the Company’s regular payroll
over the six (6) month period (the “Severance Pay Period”) following the effective date of termination of employment
and commencing on the first administratively practicable payroll date on or next following the date the Release Agreement becomes effective
and fully irrevocable in accordance with Section 5.2(c) (provided that the initial and final payments may be a greater or lesser amount
so as to conform with the Company’s regular payroll period); provided that any amounts that would be payable prior to the effectiveness
of the Release Agreement (as defined below) shall be delayed until the Release Agreement is effective and fully irrevocable.


 


(b) The
Severance Payment will be subject to offset by the amount of any compensation earned by the Employee or to which the Employee is entitled
during the Severance Pay Period (regardless of when any such amount is paid by a subsequent employer or by the Company): (i) from any
subsequent employer following the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, or (ii) from the Company under any
contingent employment agreement between the Company and the Employee. In the event the Employee obtains other employment before the end
of the Severance Pay Period, the Employee shall immediately notify the Company of such employment in writing.  The Employee expressly
agrees that failure to immediately advise Company of the Employee’s new employment shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement,
and the Employee will forfeit all Severance Payment amounts paid or that otherwise would be paid by the Company under this Section 5
from the date of the Employee’s new employment until the end of the Severance Pay Period.  The Employee shall immediately
repay to the Company all amounts paid by the Company as a Severance Payment applicable to the period commencing on the date of the Employee’s
new employment through the end of the Severance Pay Period.  Notwithstanding such forfeiture, the remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect. The Employee agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all documentation required and/or
reasonably requested by the Company to substantiate the Employee’s new employment and all compensation and rights under the Employee’s
new employment.


 






    5


     


    

 


(c) Before
receiving the Severance Payment set forth in Section 5.2(a), and as a condition to receiving the same, the Employee shall sign, and not
revoke, a release of any and all claims or potential claims against the Company which the Employee has or may have, whether known or
unknown, as of the date of execution of the release by the Employee (the “Release Agreement”). The Company must provide
the form of Release Agreement to the Employee within fifteen (15) days after the Employee’s separation from service and the Employee
must sign the Release Agreement and provide it to the Company within twenty-one (21) days (or forty-five (45) days, if applicable under
applicable law) after receiving it from the Company and not revoke such release during any applicable revocation period. The Release
Agreement shall be in the form as determined by the Company, in its sole discretion. To the extent the Severance Payment is subject to
Section 409A and the period for executing (and not revoking) the Release Agreement begins in one taxable year and ends in another taxable
year, the Severance Payment shall not begin until the beginning of the second taxable year; provided that, the first installment payment
shall include all amounts that would otherwise have been paid to the Employee during the period beginning on the date of the Employee’s
termination and ending on the first payment date if no delay had been imposed.


 


5.3. Termination
by the Employee for Good Reason. The Employee may terminate this Agreement and/or the Employee’s employment with the Company
for Good Reason, as defined below. If the Employee terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, then the Employee shall receive the Accrued
Amounts and the Severance Payment as set forth in Section 5.2(a), subject to the requirements of Sections 5.2(b) and (c). For purposes
of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean:


 


(a) a
material diminution in the Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities;


 


(b) a
material diminution in the Employee’s Base Compensation except for across-the-board salary reductions similarly affecting other
similarly-situated executives of the Company or due to unforeseeable business circumstances, pandemics, natural disasters or similar
circumstances;


 


(c) a
change that would require the Employee to relocate to a primary office that is more than fifty (50) miles from the location of the Company’s
then principal offices unless such relocation is closer to the Employee’s personal residence; or


 


(d) a
material breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.


 






    6


     


    

 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no such event described above shall constitute Good Reason unless: (1) the Employee gives written notice to the Company
specifying the condition or event relied upon for such termination within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such event;
and (2) the Company fails to cure the condition or event constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days following receipt
of the Employee’s written notice. If the Employee does not terminate his or her employment for Good Reason within sixty (60) days
after the end of such thirty (30)-day cure period, then the Employee will be deemed to have waived his or her right to terminate for
Good Reason with respect to such grounds. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during such cure period, Good Reason will be
deemed not to have occurred.


 


5.4. Termination
by Employee Without Good Reason. The Employee may resign from employment without Good Reason by providing sixty (60) days’
advance, written notice of the Employee’s intent to resign from employment. Upon the effectiveness of such resignation, the Company
shall have no further obligation under this Agreement and payment of all compensation to the Employee under this Agreement shall cease
immediately, except for the Accrued Amounts. With respect to any notice period pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company
may in its sole discretion (a) place the Employee on a paid, non-working, garden leave during some or all of such notice period (and,
for the avoidance of doubt, relieve the Employee of the Employee’s title and duties during such period), and/or (b) waive such
notice, in whole or in part, by accelerating the Employee’s termination date and paying the Employee the Employee’s base
salary in lieu of the portion of the notice period waived by the Company and without affecting the voluntary nature of the Employee’s
termination.


 


5.5. Termination
Due to Disability or Death. The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment, at
any time, upon the occurrence of the Employee’s death or Disability. If the Employee’s employment is terminated during the
Term on account of the Employee’s death or Disability, the Company shall have no further obligation under this Agreement and payment
of all compensation to the Employee under this Agreement shall cease immediately, except for the Accrued Amounts through the date of
such termination due to death or Disability. The term “Disability” as used in this Agreement shall mean that the Employee
is entitled to receive long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan or, if there is no such plan,
the Employee has incurred (1) a permanent and total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or
any successor provision, or (2) a physical or mental disability that renders the Employee unable to perform the required functions of
the Employee’s position, duties, and responsibilities under this Agreement, and which, in either case, has existed for at least
ninety (90) consecutive days or one hundred and twenty (120) non-consecutive days during any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period
as determined by the Company Board and Parent Board.


 


5.6. COBRA
Coverage. Solely in the event of a termination by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 5.2 and subject to the execution
of the Release Agreement by the Employee and the Release Agreement becoming effective and fully irrevocable pursuant to Section 5.2(c),
if the Employee timely and properly elects health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
(“COBRA”), the Company shall reimburse the Employee for the difference between the monthly COBRA premium actually
paid by the Employee for the Employee and the Employee’s dependents and the monthly premium amount paid by similarly-situated active
executives of the Company during the same period. Such reimbursement shall be paid to the Employee in the month immediately following
the month in which the Employee timely remits the premium payment and the Employee provides proof of payment of such premium. The Employee
shall be eligible to receive such reimbursement until the earliest of: (i) the end of the Severance Period; (ii) the date the Employee
is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which the Employee becomes eligible to receive substantially
similar coverage from another employer or other source. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect
to provide a cash payment to the Employee in lieu of providing reimbursement as described herein in an amount reasonably determined by
the Company to be equivalent to the amount of COBRA premium reimbursements that would otherwise be due by the Company under this Section
5.6 for the Severance Period, without regard to any effect of taxation of such cash payment to the Employee. If the Employee obtains
other employment prior to the end of the Severance Period which offers any of such insurance coverage, the Company’s obligation
to reimburse the Employee for COBRA payments will be immediately terminated. The Employee agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all
documentation required and/or reasonably requested by the Company regarding subsequent benefit eligibility.


 






    7


     


    

 


5.7. Incentive
Compensation. In the event of any termination of employment, any equity-based or cash incentive awards shall be treated as provided
in the applicable plan document.


 


6.
Confidentiality, Inventions, and Non-Solicitation Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, the Employee shall enter into with
the Company a Confidentiality, Inventions, and Non-Solicitation Agreement in substantially the form set forth under Exhibit A
hereto (the “CIIAA”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement shall have no force or effect
and be null and void ab initio if the Employee fails to execute the CIIAA prior to the Effective Time.

business they are currently, or have been, transacting with the Company or otherwise negatively reduce his/her/its business relationship
with the Company.


 






    9


     


    

 


7.4. Non-Solicitation
of Company Employees. The Employee recognizes that the Employee possesses confidential information about other employees of the Company
relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and interpersonal relationships with Customers
and Prospective Customers of the Company. The Employee recognizes that the information the Employee possesses about these other employees
is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company in developing its business and in securing and retaining Customers, and
will be acquired by the Employee because of the Employee’s business position with the Company. The Employee agrees that, during
the Restricted Period, the Employee will not (and will cause the Employee’s controlled affiliates not to) (i) recruit or employ
or otherwise solicit, entice, or induce any Person that is or has been an employee, officer or consultant of the Company in the twelve
(12) months immediately prior to such action (or, if following the Termination Date, then as of such Termination Date and at any time
during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Employee’s Termination Date) to become employed by, engaged by, or establish
a business relationship with any Person other than the Company or its affiliated or related companies, or (ii) approach any such
employee, consultant or officer for such purpose or authorize or participate in the taking of such actions by any other Person, or assist
or participate with any such Person in taking such action. The restriction set forth in this paragraph does not apply to a general employment
solicitation to the public that is not directed towards one of the Company’s employees or consultants.


 


7.5. Non-Disparagement.
The Employee shall not (and shall cause the Employee’s controlled affiliates not to) during the Term and at any time thereafter
make, publish, encourage or support, any false, misleading or disparaging written, oral or electronic statements about the Company or
any of its affiliates, including the Company’s or its applicable affiliate’s (i) predecessors, members, present or former
directors, managers, employees, consultants, officers, partners, attorneys or other representatives, individually and in their official
capacities, or (ii) products, services, practices or operations. However, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Employee from testifying
truthfully under oath if compelled by law to do so in a deposition, lawsuit, or similar legal or dispute resolution proceeding; making
or publishing any such statements the Employee or the Employee’s controlled affiliate, as applicable, reasonably believes in good
faith to be necessary in responding to or initiating a bona fide legal claim involving the Employee’s or the Employee’s controlled
affiliate, as applicable; filing a complaint, participating in an investigation, or otherwise cooperating with any federal, state, or
local fair employment agency or other government or law enforcement agency.


 


7.6. Performance
of Duties and Practice of Law Not Affected. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not restrict the Employee from performing
his duties as an officer, director, or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates nor shall anything in this Agreement prevent
or otherwise restrict the Employee in any way from engaging in the practice of law or the providing of legal services to any person or
business.


 


8. Miscellaneous
Provisions Governing Restrictive Covenants.


 


8.1. Reasonableness
of Restrictions and Covenants. The Employee hereby confirms that the Employee was informed of the time, territory, scope and other
essential requirements of the restrictions set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement when the Employee agreed to become employed with
the Company under the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Employee acknowledges that the Company would not have entered into this
Agreement had the Employee not agreed to the restrictions set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement. The Employee further acknowledges
that the Employee has received sufficient and valuable consideration for the Employee’s agreement to such restrictions. The Employee
also agrees that the covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable and valid and hereby agrees that the Company
would suffer irreparable injury in the event of any breach by the Employee of the Employee’s obligations under any such covenant
or restriction. Accordingly, the Employee hereby agrees that damages would be an inadequate remedy at law in connection with any such
breach and that the Company shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy which it may have at law, in equity
or otherwise, to temporary and permanent injunctive relief enjoining and restraining the Employee from any such breach. The Employee
further consents and stipulates to the entry of such injunctive relief without the need to post any bond or other security.


 






    10


     


    

 


8.2. Survival.
The provisions of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10.2, 11, and 12 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination
of the Employee’s employment and regardless of the circumstances that result in such termination. This provision shall not be construed
to limit the survival of any other provisions that also survive the termination of this Agreement by the express or implied terms of
such provisions.


 


8.3. Enforcement,
Severability, and Modification. If, at the time of enforcement of any provision of Section 7 of this Agreement, a court or arbitrator
holds that the restrictions stated in Section 7 of this Agreement are unreasonable or unenforceable under the circumstances then existing,
the Parties agree that (i) the court/arbitrator should first reform the provisions of Section 7 prior to severing any provisions, and
if the court/arbitrator will not or cannot reform such provisions, then the court/arbitrator may sever provisions as described in this
paragraph, (ii) the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of such provisions are, for any
reason whatsoever, deemed invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, (iii) such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions in
Section 7 of this Agreement shall be automatically replaced by other provisions which are as similar as possible in terms to such invalid,
void or otherwise unenforceable provisions but are valid and enforceable, and (iv) the remaining provisions in Section 7 of this Agreement
shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.


 


9. Post-Termination

without limitation, appearing for meetings, consultations, depositions, hearings, or trials. The Company will reimburse the Employee
for reasonable, pre-approved travel, lodging and meal expenses incurred in connection with providing such assistance and cooperation.


 


10. Disclosures

whether express or implied, to any third party that would interfere with, hamper, or limit the Employee’s ability to provide any
employment services or to otherwise comply with the Employee’s obligations under this Agreement. The Employee explicitly represents
and warrants to the Company that the Employee is not a party to any confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation or similar agreements
with any third party, or to any agreement the terms of which could prohibit the Employee from performing the Employee’s employment
duties for the Company, or to any agreement which could be breached by the Employee’s entry into this Agreement and/or performance
of the Employee’s employment duties for the Company.

10.2. Upon

shall promptly notify any subsequent employer of the terms of this Agreement to ensure that this Agreement is not breached by the Employee.


 


11. Indemnification


 


The
Employee agrees that the Employee shall indemnify and hold the Company, its subsidiaries and any affiliates thereof (the “Indemnified
Parties”) harmless from and against any Taxes (as defined herein) imposed upon or otherwise required to be paid by any Indemnified
Party with respect to any payments, rights or other transfers provided to the Employee by or with respect to an Indemnified Party (including
for the avoidance of doubt any person who was an Indemnified Party prior to the Effective Time) on or prior to the Effective Time. 
For purposes of the precedent sentence, “Taxes” shall mean taxes or other governmental charges (including any withholding,
employment, payroll, social security or other similar taxes) and any penalties, interest, surcharges, additional to tax and deficiency
assessments with respect thereto. The Employee shall provide such security for the foregoing indemnity obligations as the Company may
reasonably request from time to time.


 


12. General
Provisions


 


12.1. Clawback
Provisions. Any amounts payable under this Agreement are subject to any policy (whether in existence as of the Commencement Date
or later adopted or modified) established by the Company providing for clawback or recovery of amounts that were paid to the Employee.
The Company will make any determination for clawback or recovery in its sole discretion and in accordance with any applicable law or
regulation.


 


12.2. Resignation
of All Other Positions. Upon termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder for any reason, the Employee agrees
to resign and shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions that the Employee holds as an officer of the Company or any of its
affiliates or as a member of the Company Board and Parent Board (or a committee thereof) of the Company or any of its affiliates.


 


12.3. Assignment
and Successors. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee, the Company, and
their respective successors and assigns, except that the Employee may not assign any of the Employee’s duties hereunder and the
Employee may not assign any of the Employee’s rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company. This Agreement
is personal to the Employee and shall not be assigned by the Employee. Any purported assignment by the Employee shall be null and void
from the initial date of the purported assignment. The Company may assign this Agreement to any entity which controls, is controlled
by, or is under common control with the Company, or to any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation,
or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
Company and the permitted successors and assigns.


 






    12


     


    

 


12.4. Notices.
All notices, requests, demands, or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given
by the Employee to the Company only if provided to the Company, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, and shall be deemed to be duly given
by the Company to the Employee if provided by mail, email, mail, or nationally or internationally recognized carrier to the Employee
at the Employee’s address as shown in the Company’s records.


 


12.5. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law. If any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be or become illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason,
such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder
of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If any court of competent jurisdiction should deem any covenant herein
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope
of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable.


 


12.6. Code
Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance
promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) or an exemption from Section 409A. The Company shall undertake to administer,
interpret, and construe this Agreement in a manner that does not result in the imposition on the Employee of any additional tax, penalty,
or interest under Section 409A, provided, however, that the Employee understands and agrees that the Company shall not
be held liable or responsible for any taxes, penalties, interests or other expenses incurred by the Employee on account of non-compliance
with Section 409A.


 


(a) For
purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment or payroll period amount provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate
payment.


 


(b) 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 is also a “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A.


 


(c) If
the Employee is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A,
then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Section 409A payable
on account of a “separation from service,” and that is not exempt from Section 409A as involuntary separation pay or
a short-term deferral (or otherwise), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (i) the
first regular payroll date following the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from
service” of the Employee, or (ii) the date of the Employee’s death (the “Delay Period”).  Upon
the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section (whether they would have otherwise
been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Employee in a lump sum
without interest, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal
payment dates specified for them herein. 


 






    13


     


    

 


(d) With
regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A,
all such payments shall be made on or before the last day of calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense occurred.


 


12.7. Governing
Law. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State
of Michigan without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions.


 


12.8. Mandatory
Arbitration; Subsequent Court Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that any dispute over this Agreement will be submitted to and settled
exclusively by binding arbitration, in accordance with the provisions of this section, subject only to any applicable requirement of
law that the Parties engage in a preliminary non-binding mediation or arbitration. Binding arbitration shall be conducted in accordance
with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service Streamlined Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”). Arbitration
shall be held in Oakland County, Michigan, before an arbitrator selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules who will have no personal or pecuniary
interest, either directly or indirectly, from any business or family relationship with either of the Parties. All decisions of the
arbitrator will be final, binding, and conclusive on the Parties.


 


The
Parties will equally share the costs of the arbitrator and the arbitration fee (if any). Each Party will bear that Party’s own
attorneys’ fees and costs, and the prevailing Party will not be entitled to reimbursement by the other Party of any of its fees
or costs incurred in connection with the arbitration hereunder, regardless of any rule to the contrary in the applicable arbitration
rules. Either Party may seek confirmation of the arbitration award in the federal or state courts with jurisdiction over Auburn Hills,
Michigan and such court shall be the sole, exclusive, and mandatory venue and jurisdiction for any disputes between the Parties arising
from or relating to this Agreement. If any action is filed, by any party, relating to a breach of this Agreement and/or enforcement of
this Agreement, each Party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts with jurisdiction
over Auburn Hills, Michigan in any claim or action arising hereunder and waives any claim that such court is an inconvenient forum.


 


12.9. WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
BY THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION; AND AGREES THAT IF SUCH PARTY SEEKS A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
BY THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER PARTY MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES
TO THIS AGREEMENT TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

12.10. Interpretation.
The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only, and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation
of this Agreement. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed according to its fair meaning, and not
strictly for or against any Party. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, the masculine, feminine and neuter genders
and the singular and the plural include one another.


 


12.11. Non-Waiver
of Rights and Breaches. No failure or delay of any Party in the exercise of any right given to such Party under this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver unless the time specified for the exercise of such right has expired, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. The waiver by a Party of any default of any other Party shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default or other default by such Party.


 


12.12. Withholding.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be made by the Company hereunder shall be subject to withholding of
such amounts relating to taxes as the Company may reasonably determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
In lieu of withholding such amounts, in whole or in part, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accept other provisions for payment
of taxes as permitted by law, provided it is satisfied in its sole discretion that all requirements of law affecting its responsibilities
to withhold such taxes have been satisfied.


 


12.13. Representation
by Counsel; No Strict Construction. Each Party acknowledges that such Party has been represented
by independent counsel of such Party’s choice with respect to this Agreement, including throughout all negotiations that have preceded
the execution of this Agreement and that each Party has executed the same with consent and upon the advice of said independent counsel.
The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question
of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall
arise, or rule of strict construction applied, favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions
of this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement
against the Party that drafted this Agreement is of no application and is hereby expressly waived by the Parties.


 


12.14. Attorneys’
Fees. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and other reasonably related costs and expenses (“Fees”)
associated with any claim asserted under this Agreement; provided, however, that if either Party asserts a claim which is finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been asserted frivolously or in bad faith, the Party against whom such claim was brought
shall be entitled to recovery of its Fees from the Party bringing such claim.


 


12.15. Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience of reference and shall be given no effect in the construction or interpretation
of this Agreement.

subject matter hereof. All negotiations by the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof are merged into this Agreement and the CIIAA,
and there are no representations, warranties, covenants, understandings or agreements, oral or otherwise, by the Parties in relation
to this Agreement or the CIIAA other than those incorporated herein or in the CIIAA. No supplement, modification, waiver, or amendment
of this Agreement or the CIIAA shall be binding unless executed in writing and signed by both Parties.


 


12.17. Counterparts;
Original. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any facsimile, photocopy, pdf copy, or electronic copy of any Party’s executed counterpart
of this Agreement will be deemed to be an executed original thereof.

                                            acknowledges that all Confidential Information constitutes a protectable business interest
                                            of the Company, and covenants and agrees that at all times during the period of Employee’s
                                            employment and thereafter, Employee agrees (i) to hold in strictest confidence the Confidential

                                            any Person any Confidential Information without prior written authorization from the Company,
                                            and (iii) not to use any Confidential Information except during the term of Employee’s
                                            employment in the course of performing Employee’s duties as an employee of the Company.
                                            Employee will abide by the Company’s policies and rules as may be established from
                                            time to time by it for the protection of its Confidential Information and will not make any

                                            Information will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement and Employee’s
                                            employment with the Company, and will terminate only at such time (if any) as the Confidential
                                            Information in question becomes publicly and widely known to the public other than as a result

                                            involved.



 


		b.	For
                                            clarity, Employee’s agreements in this Section 2 are intended to be for the
                                            benefit of the Company, the Company Affiliates, and any third party that has entrusted information
                                            or Tangible Embodiments to the Company or the Company Affiliates in confidence. This Agreement
                                            is intended to supplement, and not to supersede, any rights the Company or the Company Affiliates
                                            may have with respect to the protection of trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information.



 


		c.	Notwithstanding
                                            any other provision of this Agreement, an individual (including Employee) shall not be held
                                            criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure
                                            of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official
                                            or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation
                                            of law. An individual (including Employee) shall not be held criminally or civilly liable
                                            under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is
                                            made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing
                                            is made under seal. An individual (including Employee) who files a lawsuit for retaliation
                                            by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to
                                            the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding,
                                            if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not
                                            disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement is intended
                                            to conflict with federal law protecting confidential disclosures of a trade secret to the
                                            government or in a court filing, 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), or to create liability for disclosures
                                            of Confidential Information that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).

                                            of the Company Affiliates or any of its or their products, services or clients, whether prepared
                                            by the Employee or others. At the time Employee returns or destroys these materials (or otherwise
                                            upon the Company’s request), Employee will acknowledge to the Company, in writing and

                                            the provisions of Section 2870. Employee will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention
                                            that does not fully qualify for protection under Section 2870. BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT,

                                            WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 2870.



 


		5.	Excluded
                                            IP. 



 


		a.	As
a matter of record, Employee has set forth on Exhibit C hereto a list with non-confidential descriptions of any and all proprietary
information, works of authorship, ideas, reports, creative works, intellectual property or other Inventions which have been made by Employee
prior to employment with the Company and which are excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively, the “Excluded IP”).
Employee hereby represents and warrants that such list is accurate and complete. If no list is attached (or if the list is empty), then
Employee hereby represents and warrants that there is no Excluded IP. Employee will not assert any right, title or interest in or to
any Work Product nor claim that Employee Created any Work Product before Employee’s employment with the Company unless Employee
has specifically identified that Invention as an Excluded IP on the attached Exhibit C prior to the execution of this Agreement.



 






     


    


    

 


		b.	If
                                            in the course of Employee’s employment, Employee uses or incorporates into any Work
                                            Product or Tangible Embodiment any Inventions (including any Excluded IP) in which Employee
                                            or a third Person has any interest and which is not covered by Section 4(b) hereof,
                                            Employee will promptly so inform the Company. Whether or not Employee gives such notice,
                                            Employee hereby grants to (and without limiting the foregoing, agrees in the future to grant
                                            to) the Company an exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide,
                                            sublicenseable and transferable license to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative
                                            works of, use, publicly perform, display, sell, offer for sale, import, distribute, and/or
                                            otherwise exploit such Invention (including such Excluded IP) for any commercial or internal
                                            business purposes and all other purposes.



 


		6.	Representations
                                            and Warranties.



 


		a.	No
                                            Conflicts. Employee hereby represents and warrants that Employee is not subject to any
                                            obligation to any third Person, including any former employer, that would be inconsistent
                                            with any provision of this Agreement, including with respect to any Excluded IP, and that
                                            Employee has the right to grant the license and rights granted in Section 5(b).



 


		b.	No
                                            Infringement. Employee hereby represents and warrants that all Excluded IP licensed to
                                            the Employer pursuant to Section 5(b) do not (and all Work Product will not) infringe,
                                            misappropriate, dilute, or otherwise violate any third Person’s patents, copyrights,
                                            trademarks, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights or other rights.



 


		7.	Equitable
                                            Remedies. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the agreements and covenants set forth
                                            in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s
                                            and the Company Affiliates’ business interests, that irreparable injury will result
                                            to the Company and the Company Affiliates if Employee breaches any of the terms of said covenants,
                                            and that in the event of Employee’s actual or threatened breach of any such covenants,
                                            the Company and the Company Affiliates will have no adequate remedy at law. Employee accordingly
                                            agrees that, in the event of any actual or threatened breach by Employee of any of said covenants,
                                            the Company or any of the Company Affiliates, as applicable, will be entitled to immediate
                                            injunctive and other equitable relief, without posting bond or other security and without
                                            the necessity of showing actual monetary damages. Nothing in this Section 7 will be
                                            construed as prohibiting the Company or any of the Company Affiliates from pursuing any other
                                            remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
                                            any damages that it is able to prove.



 


		8.	No
                                            Right to Employment. No provision of this Agreement shall give Employee any right to
                                            continue in the employ of the Company or any of the Company Affiliates, create any inference
                                            as to the length of employment of Employee, affect the right of the Company or the Company
                                            Affiliates to terminate the employment of Employee, with or without cause, or give Employee
                                            any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of the
                                            Company or any of the Company Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employee
                                            has executed a written employment agreement with the Company, in the event of any direct
                                            and irresolvable conflict between the terms of this Agreement and such employment agreement,
                                            the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to all Inventions and Confidential
                                            Information, but otherwise the terms of the employment agreement shall control.



 






     


    


    

 


		9.	Modification
                                            and Waiver. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in
                                            writing signed by the parties. No term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to have
                                            been waived, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver. No such
                                            written waiver will be deemed to be a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein,
                                            and each such waiver will operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall
                                            not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than
                                            that specifically waived.



 


		10.	Severability.
                                            Employee acknowledges that the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are
                                            essential to protect the Company and the Company Affiliates and their goodwill. Each of the
                                            covenants in this Agreement will be construed as independent of any other covenants or other
                                            provisions of this Agreement. If any court of competent jurisdiction at any time deems the
                                            Restricted Period unreasonably lengthy or any of the covenants set forth in this Agreement
                                            not fully enforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless stand and
                                            to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect, and it is the intention
                                            and desire of the parties that the court treat any provisions of this Agreement which are
                                            not fully enforceable as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by the court
                                            to render them reasonable and enforceable and that the court enforce them to such extent.



 


		11.	Notices.
                                            Any notice, consent, waiver and other communications required or permitted pursuant to
                                            the provisions of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been properly
                                            given (a) when delivered by hand; (b) five (5) days after sent by certified mail, return

                                            delivery service, in each case to the appropriate addresses set forth below:



 


If

If

                                            of reference and will not control the meaning and interpretation of any provision of this
                                            Agreement.

                                            to conflicts of laws principles. The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction

		14.	Binding
                                            Effect. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employee, the
                                            Company, the Company Affiliates, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The

                                            Employee’s prior consent. Employee may not assign this Agreement or any part hereof.
                                            Any purported assignment by Employee shall be null and void ab initio.



 


		15.	No
                                            Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language
                                            chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction
                                            will be applied against any person.

My
engagement by Electric Last Mile, Inc., (the “Company”) is now terminated. I have reviewed my Confidentiality, Inventions
and Non-Solicitation Agreement with the Company, dated ________________ ___, 20__ (the “Agreement”), and I hereby
swear, under penalty of perjury, that:


 


		●	I
                                            have complied and will continue to comply with all of the provisions of the Agreement.



 


		●	I
                                            understand that all of the Company’s materials (including without limitation, written
                                            or printed documents, email and computer disks or tapes, whether machine or user readable,
                                            computer memory, and other information reduced to any recorded format or medium), whether
                                            or not they contain Confidential Information (as that phrase is defined in the Agreement),
                                            are and remain the property of the Company. I have delivered to authorized Company personnel,
                                            or have destroyed, all of those documents and all other Company materials in my possession.



 


		●	Any
                                            breach of my declarations hereunder would cause irreparable injury to the Company for which
                                            monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and, therefore, will entitle the Company
                                            to injunctive relief (including specific performance). The rights and remedies provided to
                                            the Company hereunder are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies available
                                            to the Company at law or in equity. I hereby acknowledge that the Company shall be entitled
                                            to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses incurred in any action
                                            to enforce its rights in the event of a breach of my declarations hereunder.

Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in
an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without
using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:


 


		(1)	Relate
                                            at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s
                                            business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer;
                                            or



 


		(2)	Result
                                            from any work performed by the employee for the employer.



 


(b)
To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being
required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.”
