the parties desire to settle all claims and issues that have, or could have been raised, in relation to Sugishita's employment with Peregrine and the termination thereof on the
terms set forth below.

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and promises herein contained, IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1.     Peregrine
is entering into this Agreement for the sole purpose of avoiding the time and expense involved in the possible litigation of this matter. This Agreement shall
not in any way be construed as an admission by Peregrine that it has acted wrongfully with respect to Sugishita or any other person, or that Sugishita has any rights whatsoever against Peregrine, its
predecessors, affiliates or related entities or any of their current or former employees or agents, and Peregrine specifically disclaims any liability to or wrongful acts against Sugishita or any
other person, on the part of itself, or any of its current or former employees or agents.

2.     Peregrine
agrees that when its counsel of record receives the fully executed original of this Agreement, then within 10 business days after the expiration of the
revocation period in Paragraph 17 below, it shall transmit to Sugishita's attorney two checks in full and complete settlement of any and all claims Sugishita may have against
(1) Peregrine and its predecessors, (2) all current and former employees and directors of Peregrine and its predecessors; (3) all current and former corporate entities affiliated
with or related to Peregrine and its predecessors, and (4) all current and former employees of said affiliated or related entities. The first check, in the amount of $175,000, shall be made
payable to David Sugishita, and Peregrine shall withhold taxes and other required amounts and issue him an IRS Form W-2 pertaining to this payment. The second check, in the amount
of $50,000, shall be made payable to Rudy, Exelrod & Zieff, and Peregrine will issue an IRS Form 1099 with respect to this payment.

Sugishita
acknowledges that, except for the two above-referenced payments, he shall not be entitled to any other payments or benefits, including, but not limited to, any payments or
benefits referenced in his Employment Agreement.

3.     Sugishita
recognizes and agrees that Peregrine has not made any withholding, be it income tax and/or social security, with respect to the above-mentioned second check,
nor has it made a determination and/or opinion regarding such potential withholdings nor as to applicability of same. Sugishita agrees to assume absolute and complete responsibility and expressly
releases Peregrine from any liability regarding such withholdings, be it local, federal or of any sort, that may be assessed upon the second check referenced above, or due to Peregrine's failure to
make any withholding, including, but not limited to, interest, extra charges and/or penalties.

---



4.     Sugishita
represents that he has not filed any complaints, charges or lawsuits against Peregrine and its predecessors or against (1) any current or former employee
of Peregrine, (2) any current or former affiliate or related entity of Peregrine and its predecessors, or (3) the current or former employees of said affiliates or related entities with
any governmental agency or any court; that he will not file any complaint, charge or lawsuit against any of these entities or persons at any time hereafter for any event occurring prior to the date of
this Agreement; and that if any court assumes jurisdiction of any complaint, charge or lawsuit against any of these entities or persons on behalf of Sugishita, he will request that the matter be
dismissed with prejudice.

5.     As
a material inducement to Peregrine to enter into this Agreement, Sugishita represents and agrees that he will keep all of the terms of this Agreement completely
confidential, and that, except as compelled by law, he has not and will not hereafter disclose any information concerning this Agreement or the settlement of this action to anyone other than to
government agencies as required by law, and his spouse, attorneys and accountant, and to them only on the condition that each such person to whom such information is disclosed will be specifically
instructed not to disclose in any manner any such information to any other person. As to any other person, Sugishita agrees that he will say no more than that the matter has been resolved in a way
that is satisfactory to both parties, and further agrees that he will in no manner indicate any of the terms of this settlement or his opinion of the same. In the event that a breach of this
confidentiality provision is proven, then the parties acknowledge that the damages for such a breach would be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that the liability for such a
breach on the part of Sugishita shall be liquidated damages in the amount of $10,000.

All
reference checks received by Peregrine about Sugishita will be directed to the Human Resources Department who will provide the person seeking information with the standard response
of the company to such requests.

Sugishita
reaffirms his obligation to adhere to the Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation provisions in Section 10 of his Employment Agreement.

6.     Sugishita
represents and agrees that he fully understands his right to discuss all aspects of this Agreement with his attorney, that he has availed himself of this right,
that he has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement, and that he is voluntarily entering into this Agreement.

7.     As
a material inducement to Peregrine to enter into this Agreement, Sugishita hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges Peregrine,
and all of its current and former subsidiaries, parent companies, affiliates, successors, predecessors, related corporate entities, assigns, owners, stockholders, partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, representatives, attorneys and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them (collectively "Releasees"), from any and all charges, complaints, claims,
liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) actually incurred of
any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected ("Claim" or "Claims") which Sugishita now has, owns or holds, or claims to have, own or hold, or which Sugishita at any time

represents that he has not heretofore assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person or entity, any Claim or any portion thereof,
or interest therein, and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Releasees harmless from and against any and all Claims, based on or arising out of any such assignment or transfer, or purported
assignment or transfer of any Claims or any portion thereof or interest therein.

11.   Sugishita
represents and acknowledges that in executing this Agreement he does not rely and has not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth herein made
by any of the Releasees or by any of the Releasees' agents, representatives, or attorneys with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Agreement or otherwise.

12.   This
Agreement shall be binding upon Sugishita and upon his heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Releasees and each of them, and to their heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns.

13.   This
Agreement is made and entered into in the State of California and shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of said State. The
language of all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any of the parties. It is agreed that this Agreement
shall be construed with the understanding that both parties were responsible for drafting it.

be affected thereby and said illegal or invalid part, term or provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement.

pertaining to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by virtue of a writing signed by both parties. Any waiver of one or more provisions of the Agreement shall
not constitute a waiver of any of the remaining provisions hereto.

16.   The
