iii)
Developed independently by Vyas without the use or consideration of or reference to the confidential or proprietary information

restraining Vyas from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential or proprietary information or from rendering any services
to any person, form, corporation, association, or other entity to whom such confidential or proprietary information, in whole
or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting NanoViricides
from pursuing any other remedies available to NanoViricides for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages

either as an employee, officer, or consultant, nor be associated as an employee, officer, partner of any firm engaged in substantially
similar research or drug development as NanoViricides, or any affiliate of NanoViricides the existing, for a period of one year
from the effective date of such termination. This restrictive covenant is intended to protect proprietary information and technology
disclosed to Vyas as a result of Vyas’ work, and in consideration of the contract.


 


B.
       For purposes of this Agreement, “proprietary information” shall mean any information
relating to the business of NanoViricides, or any entity in which NanoViricides has a controlling interest, that has not previously
been publicly released by duly authorized representatives of NanoViricides and shall include (but shall not be limited to) information
encompassed in all research plans, formulas, proposals, business plans, financial information, costs, pricing information, or
investor information and records, and all invention methods, concepts, or ideas used in or reasonably related to the business
of NanoViricides or any entity in which NanoViricides or its officers and shareholders have a controlling interest. Vyas agrees
to regard and preserve as confidential all proprietary information, whether she has such information in her memory or in writing
or other physical form. Vyas will not, without written authority from NanoViricides to do so, directly or indirectly, use for
her benefit or purposes, nor disclose to others, either during the term of her employment hereunder or thereafter, except as required
by the conditions of her employment hereunder, any proprietary information. Vyas agrees not to remove from the premises of NanoViricides
or any subsidiary or affiliate of NanoViricides, except as an employee of NanoViricides in pursuit of the business of NanoViricides
or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or any entity in which NanoViricides has a controlling interest, or except as specifically
permitted in writing by NanoViricides any document or object containing or reflecting any proprietary information. Vyas recognizes
that all such documents and objects, whether developed by him or by someone else, are the exclusive property of NanoViricides.


 






    


     


    

 


C.
       All proprietary information and all of Vyas’ interest in patents, patent applications,
trade secrets, trademarks, inventions, customer lists, employee lists, procedure, technological innovation, copyrights, developments,
and processes hereafter to the end of the period of the employment hereunder developed by Vyas but at NanoViricides' expense are
considered automatically assigned to the NanoViricides. Vyas shall execute any and all such assignments and other documents and
take any and all such other action as NanoViricides reasonably requests in order to vest in NanoViricides all Vyas' rights, title
and interest in all of the aforesaid items, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances.


 


D.
       Vyas expressly agrees that the covenants set forth in this section are given to NanoViricides
in connection with the employment of Vyas by NanoViricides and that such covenants are intended to protect NanoViricides against
the competition by Vyas, within the terms stated, to the fullest extent deemed reasonable and permitted in law and equity. In
the event that the foregoing limitations upon the conduct of Vyas are beyond those permitted by law, such limitation, both as
to time and geographical area shall be deemed to be reduced in scope and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.


 


 


10.
      Representations of Vyas.


 


Vyas
represents and warrants that neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance of her duties hereunder
violates the provision of any other agreement to which he is a party or by which he is bound. Vyas further agrees to indemnify
NanoViricides for all damages in the event that this representation is breached.


 


 


11.
      Arbitration.


 


Any
controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in
the State of Connecticut in accordance with the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon
the award rendered may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. However, such arbitration provision shall
not act as a stay of NanoViricides’ right to seek a restraining order against Vyas’ actual or anticipatory breach
of this Agreement of anticipatory disclosure of confidential or proprietary information.


 


 


12.
      Notices.


 


Any
notice required or desired to be given under this Agreement shall be deemed given if in writing sent by certified mail to her

13.
      Waiver of breach.


 


The
waiver by NanoViricides of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Vyas shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of
any subsequent breach by Vyas. No waiver shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of NanoViricides.


 


 


14.
      Entire agreement.


 


This
Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties. It may not be changed orally but only by an agreement in writing signed
by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension, or discharge is sought.
