achievement of Annual Performance Goals for the applicable fiscal year. The “Annual Performance Goals” for the first
year of the Initial Term will be as set forth on Exhibit A hereto and for future years will be determined each year by the Board

Executive must be employed by the Company on the date such Bonus is paid, which shall in no event be later than fifteen (15) days
after the audited financial statements of the Company for the applicable fiscal year become available.


 


(c)          The
aggregate amount of Base Salary and Target Bonus shall be increased, following the first fiscal year during the Term, on an annual
basis by $25,000, subject to the Company’s discretion to allocate such increase between Base Salary and Bonus Opportunity.


 


2.2           Annual
Equity Compensation. Following the end of each fiscal year during the Term, Executive will be eligible to receive equity awards
(the “Annual Grants”) in accordance with the following:


 


(a)          Executive
will have an annual equity opportunity with a grant date fair value of $400,000 (“Annual Equity Target”) if all Annual
Performance Goals are achieved, but the actual amount of the grant date fair value of the annual equity grants (the “Actual
Equity Value”) will be based on Executive’s complete or partial achievement of the Annual Performance Goals. Of the
Actual Equity Value, 62.5% shall be granted in the form of stock options and the remainder in restricted stock awards. The number
of shares of such stock options shall be determined by the Company using an option valuation methodology, and the stock options
shall have a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The number of shares of such
restricted stock awards shall be determined using the fair market value of the stock on the grant date.

employees and independent contractors must be protected; (iv) the Company is employing or continuing to employ Executive only because
of the promises and acknowledgements that Executive makes in this Agreement; (v) to the extent required by law, the scope of the

geographic scope of such covenants is likewise reasonably global; and (vii) Executive’s compliance with such covenants will

the purpose of this Article IV, “directly or indirectly” shall include any activity, on behalf of Executive or by the
Executive on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity, whether as an employee, agent, consultant, independent
contractor, officer, director, principal, shareholder, equity holder, partner, member, joint venturer, lender, investor or otherwise,
except that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Executive from: (a) being a passive holder, for investment purposes only,
of not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any Competing Business; or (b) acting as an employee, agent, consultant,
independent contractor, officer, director, principal, shareholder, equity holder, partner, member, joint venturer, lender, investor

4.6           Remedies.
Executive understands and acknowledges that a breach of the provisions of this Agreement would injure the Company irreparably in
a way which could not be adequately compensated for by an award of monetary damages. Executive therefore consents to the issuance
to the Company of a preliminary and/or permanent injunction, without the posting of a bond, to restrain any such breach or threatened
breach. Additionally, in the event Executive breaches or threatens to breach any of the covenants, promises or obligations contained
in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to recover without limitation from Executive all costs and fees (including reasonable

of any other provision or provisions of this Article IV, which shall remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this
Article IV is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, any court or arbitrator so holding shall substitute
a valid, enforceable provision that preserves, to the maximum lawful extent, the terms and intent of this Agreement. For the purposes
of this Article IV only, references to the Company shall refer not only to the Company, but also to its parent, subsidiary and
affiliated companies as of the date of termination of Executive's employment by the Company.


 


ARTICLE V: THE COMPANY’S INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS

during Executive’s employment by the Company that relates to the actual or anticipated businesses of the Company or results
from or is suggested by any work performed by employees or independent contractors for or on behalf of the Company (“the
Company Intellectual Property”) shall be deemed “work for hire” and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive
property of the Company for any and all purposes and uses whatsoever as soon as Executive conceives or develops such Intellectual
Property, and Executive hereby agrees that its assigns, executors, heirs, administrators or personal representatives shall have
no right, title or interest of any kind or nature therein or thereto, or in or to any results and proceeds therefrom. If for any
reason such the Company Intellectual Property is not deemed to be “work-for-hire,” then Executive hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally assigns all rights, title, and interest in such the Company Intellectual Property to the Company and agrees
that the Company is under no further obligation, monetary or otherwise, to Executive for such assignment. Executive also hereby
waives all claims to any moral rights or other special rights that Executive may have or may accrue in any the Company Intellectual
Property. As used in this Agreement, “Intellectual Property” shall mean and include any ideas, inventions (whether
or not patentable), designs, improvements, discoveries, innovations, patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, trade

5.2           Executive
agrees to assist the Company, and to take all reasonable steps, with securing patents, registering copyrights and trademarks, and
obtaining any other forms of protection for the Intellectual Property. In particular, at the Company’s expense (except as
noted in clause (i) below), Executive shall forthwith upon request of the Company execute all such assignments and other documents
(including applications for patents, copyrights, trademarks, and assignments thereof) and take all such other action as the Company
may reasonably request in order (i) to vest in the Company all of Executive’s right, title, and interest in and to such Intellectual
Property, free and clear of liens, mortgages, security interests, pledges, charges, and encumbrances (“Liens”) (and
Executive agrees to take such action, at its expense, as is necessary to remove all such Liens) and (ii), if patentable or copyrightable,
to obtain patents or copyrights (including extensions and renewals) therefor in any and all countries in such name as the Company
shall determine. In the event that Executive is unable or unavailable or shall refuse to sign any lawful or necessary documents
required in order for the Company to apply for and obtain any copyright or patent with respect to any work performed by Executive
in the course of his employment with the Company (including applications or renewals, extensions, divisions or continuations),
Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Executive’s
agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and in Executive’s behalf, and in Executive’s place and stead, to execute and
file any such applications or documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of
copyrights and patents with respect to such Intellectual Property with the same legal force and effect as if executed or undertaken
by Executive.


 


5.3           Executive
represents and warrants to the Company that all Intellectual Property Executive delivers to the Company shall be original and shall
not infringe upon or violate any patent, copyright or proprietary right of any person or third party.


 


5.4           If
Executive in the course of Executive’s employment for the Company incorporates into a Company product Intellectual Property
that Executive has, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of Executive’s
employment with the Company in which Executive has a property right (each, a “Prior Invention”), Executive hereby grants
to the Company a perpetual, nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide license (with the full right to sublicense) to make,
have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention.


 


5.5           For
the purposes of this Article V only, references to the Company shall refer not only to the Company, but also to its parent, subsidiary
and affiliated companies.

ARTICLE VI: MISCELLANEOUS


 


6.1           Section
409A.


 


(i)          The
payments under this Agreement are intended to qualify for the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code (“Section
409A”) described in the regulations promulgated under Section 409A (the “Section 409A Regulations”) to the maximum
extent possible, and to the extent the payments and benefits under Article III do not so qualify, they are intended to qualify
for the involuntary separation pay plan exception to Section 409A described in the Section 409A Regulations to the maximum extent
possible. To the extent Section 409A is applicable to this Agreement, this Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A, and
shall be interpreted and construed and shall be performed by the parties consistent with such intent, and the Company shall have
no right, without Executive’s consent, to accelerate any payment or the provision of any benefits under this Agreement if
such payment or provision of such benefits would, as a result, be subject to tax under Section 409A. To the extent any payment
hereunder is determined to be deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and the timing of such payment is conditioned on the
Release becoming effective, then to the extent required to avoid penalty under Section 409A, any such payment hereunder that could
be paid in either of two taxable years shall be made in the second taxable year.


 


(ii)         Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A,
as determined under the Company’s established methodology for determining specified employees, on the date of termination
of employment, then to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable under
this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following such termination date shall instead be paid (together with interest
at the then current six-month LIBOR rate) on the first business day after the date that is six months following Executive’s
termination of employment.


 


(iii)        Except
as expressly provided otherwise herein, no reimbursement payable to Executive pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or pursuant
to any plan or arrangement of the Company covered by this Agreement shall be paid later than the last day of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which the related expense was incurred, and no such reimbursement during any calendar year shall
affect the amounts eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, except, in each case, to the extent that the right to
reimbursement does not provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.


 


(iv)For purposes of this Agreement,
the terms “terminate,” “terminated” and “termination” mean a termination of Executive’s
employment that constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of the default rules of Section 409A of
the Code.


 


6.2           Successors
