WHEREAS,
the Company and Executive wish to terminate the 2019 Employment Agreement and enter into this Employment Agreement.


 


In

of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:


 


1.
Employment. The Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to be employed by the Company, on the terms and
conditions set forth below. The Executive shall be employed under this Agreement on an at-will basis for an indefinite period of time,
and the Executive or the Company may terminate the employment relationship with or without notice at any time and for any or no reason

process in connection with employee discipline, employment termination or otherwise.

such other services and duties in connection with the Company as may be assigned or delegated to the Executive from time to time by or
under the authority of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.


 


3.
Compensation and Benefits. The regular compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under this Agreement shall be as follows:


 


(a)
Salary. For all services rendered by the Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary at
the annualized rate of Two Hundred Eighteen Thousand Dollars ($218,000.00) (“Base Salary”) per
year effective January 1, 2022, pro-rated for any partial year in which this Agreement is in effect. The Executive’s performance
may be reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”)

(b) Bonus
Opportunity. The Executive shall be eligible to receive a performance based variable compensation bonus of up to Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars ($75,000) (the “Initial Performance Based Variable Bonus”), based on your achievement of specific work
product, attainment of specific goals, and elements of overall Company financial performance, determined and paid quarterly in the second
month after the close of each fiscal quarter in which it is earned according to the Company’s fiscal year. Executive’s Initial
Performance Based Variable Bonus shall be reviewed on not less than an annual basis by the Compensation Committee. Initial Performance
Based Variable Bonus will be weighted as follows: (i) 20% for first fiscal quarter performance, (ii) 20% for second fiscal quarter performance,
(iii) 20% for third fiscal quarter performance and (iv) 40% for annual fiscal year. Executive must be employed with the Company to be
eligible for and to receive any variable compensation pursuant to this section. Executive’s Initial Performance Based Variable
Bonus shall be reviewed on not less than an annual basis by the Compensation Committee. Executive’s eligibility for up to an annual
bonus target of the Initial Performance Based Variable Bonus may not be decreased below the Initial Performance Based Variable Bonus
target without the prior written consent of Executive but nothing herein guarantees payment of the Initial Performance Based Variable
Bonus.


 


(c) RSU
Grants. Executive shall be eligible to be considered for an annual restricted stock award grant subject to the discretion of the
Compensation Committee and in accordance with the Company’s long-term incentive program. The Executive was granted $50,000 of RSU’s
for fiscal year 2021.


 


(d) Benefits.
The Executive shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit, health and welfare, 401(k), profit sharing and other plans, policies
and programs which the Company may, from time to time, have in effect for all or most employees of the Company. Executive shall also
be entitled to participate in the Company’s life insurance policy benefit applicable to executives. Such participation shall be
subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents, generally applicable policies of the Company, applicable law, and the discretion
of the Company or any administrative or other committee provided for in, or contemplated by, any such plan. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be construed to create any obligation on the part of the Company to establish any such plan or to maintain the effectiveness
of any such plan which may be in effect from time to time. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and
the applicable benefit plan documents, the terms of the plan documents shall govern. Executive shall also be entitled to upgrade their
smart phone and computer to the most recent generation available from Apple once every two years.


 


(e) Vacation.
The Company will be adopting an unlimited vacation policy, pursuant to which covered employees do not accrue any paid vacation time,
but rather, will be able to take vacation time in their reasonable discretion, subject to Company approval and meeting the Company’s
performance expectations. Once the Company adopts and implements that policy, the Executive will be covered by it and subject to its
terms. Until that policy is adopted, the Executive will not accrue any vacation time, but rather will be permitted (with Company approval)
to take vacation time in the Executive’s reasonable discretion. Because vacation time does not accrue for the Executive (either
before adoption of the unlimited vacation time policy or after adoption of that policy), there is no payout of vacation time upon the
termination of the Executive’s employment.

improvement or invention, whether or not patentable and whether reduced to writing or practice or not, which the Executive discovers,
conceives and/or develops, in whole or in part, either individually or jointly with others (whether on or off the Company’s premises
or during or after working hours) during the period the Executive is employed with the Company, and which was or is directly or indirectly

ownership rights contemplated herein. In the event the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the Executive’s signature
on any document or instrument necessary to secure trademarks, letters patent, copyrights or other analogous protection relating to any
Works, whether because of the Executive’s physical or mental capacity or for any other reason whatsoever, the Executive hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as his agent and attorney-in-fact, to act
for and in his behalf and stead to execute and file any such application or applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts.

thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any
obligation of the Executive’s under Section 7 of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable because of the duration

geographic area of such provision, and in its modified form such provision shall be enforceable.
