by the Company; (vi) personnel information (including without limitation employee compensation); and (vii) other confidential business
information of the Company or any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing received by Consultant shall be considered
to be Confidential Information if (x) it has been published or is otherwise readily available to the public other than by a breach
of this Agreement, (y) it has been rightfully received by Consultant from a third party without any confidentiality limitations,
or (z) it was known by the Consultant, as evidenced by his or her records, prior to its disclosure by the Company.

or (2) using the Company’s Confidential Information (collectively, the “Company Work Product”) shall be the sole
and exclusive property of the Company. Consultant hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company his or her entire right, title

(b) Consultant

Agreement. Consultant further agrees to assist the Company in every proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce,
United States and foreign patent and other intellectual property rights relating to Company Work Product including executing,
verifying and delivering such documents and performing such other acts as the Company may reasonably request from time to
time in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, sustaining, defending, and enforcing such rights and the assignment thereof.
Consultant’s obligation to assist the Company as described herein shall continue beyond the termination of this

(c) If
the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure Consultant’s signature on any document needed to apply for, obtain,

with full power of substitution, to execute, verify and file applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts necessary
to apply for, obtain, perfect, sustain, defend, or enforce such rights with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant.
Such power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest.


 


(d) Consultant

Inventions, Company Work Product or work performed by Consultant for the Company hereunder. Consultant further agrees that no such
publication shall be made without the prior written consent of the Company.

in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in
clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of common stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise.  The Consultant
further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company that are consistent with this Section or
that are necessary to give further effect thereto.


 


10. General
Provisions.


 


(a) The
rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, heirs, executors,
administrators and permitted assigns. Because the Company has specifically contracted for Consultant’s Services, Consultant
may not assign or delegate Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior written
consent of the Company. The Company may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any person or entity that succeeds to all
or substantially all of the Company’s business.


 


(b) Because
Consultant’s Services are personal and unique and because Consultant may have access to and become acquainted with the Confidential
Information of the Company, the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction,
specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for
a breach of this Agreement and without the requirement to post a bond or other security.


 


(c) This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New York, including with respect to any statute
of limitations and without regards to conflicts of laws rules. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of all federal and state
courts in New York, and agree that venue shall lie exclusively in New York County, New York. If any provision of this Agreement
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remainder of this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect.
