WHEREAS,
the parties originally entered into the Original Agreement, which was effective as of July 1, 2019, to reflect the Employee’s
executive capacities in the Company’s business and to provide for the Company’s employment of the Employee; and


 


WHEREAS,
the parties wish to change certain terms in the Original Agreement and to memorialize those changes by entering into this Agreement,

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises contained herein and of other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


 


		1.	POSITION
                                            AND DUTIES.



 


(a)            During
the Employment Term (as defined in Section 2 hereof), the Employee shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
In this capacity, the Employee shall have the duties, authorities and responsibilities as are required by the Employee’s position
commensurate with the duties, authorities and responsibilities of persons in similar capacities in similarly sized companies, and such
other duties, authorities and responsibilities that are included in the bylaws of Freehold Properties and the limited partnership agreement
of the Operating Partnership as they may be further amended from time to time, including, but not limited to, managing the affairs of
the Company. Employee’s duties shall further include those that the board of directors of Freehold Properties (the “Board”)

consistent with the bylaws of Freehold Properties and the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership. The Employee’s
principal places of employment with the Company shall be in Las Vegas, Nevada and Nashville, Tennessee, provided that the Employee
understands and agrees that the Employee may be required to travel from time to time for business purposes. The Employee shall report
directly to the Board.


 


(b)            During
the Employment Term, the Employee shall devote substantially all of the Employee’s business time, energy, business judgment, knowledge
and skill and the Employee’s best efforts to the performance of the Employee’s duties with the Company, provided that
the foregoing shall not prevent the Employee from (i) serving on the boards of directors of non-profit organizations, (ii) participating
in charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry affairs, and (iii) managing the Employee’s personal
investments and/or personal business as necessary, so long as such activities in the aggregate do not interfere or conflict with the
Employee’s duties hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict.


 






    	 		



     


    

 


2.              EMPLOYMENT
TERM. The Company agrees to employ the Employee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Employee agrees to be so employed,
for a term of three years (the “Initial Term”) commencing as of the A&R Effective Date. Commencing with the last
day of the Initial Term, and on each subsequent anniversary of such date, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended
for successive one-year periods, provided, however, that either party hereto may elect not to extend this Agreement by giving
written notice to the other party at least 60 days prior to any such anniversary date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee’s
employment hereunder may be earlier terminated in accordance with Section 7 hereof, subject to Section 8 hereof.
The period of time between the A&R Effective Date and the end of the Initial Term and any successor terms (or earlier upon a termination
of the Employee’s employment hereunder) shall be referred to herein as the “Employment Term.”


 


3.              BASE
SALARY. The Company agrees to pay the Employee a base salary of $400,000 annually. The base salary may be reviewed annually by the
Board and may be increased (but not decreased) by the Board in its sole discretion. The Board may delegate any or all of its authority
and responsibilities to a committee of the Board. Base salary shall be payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the
Company, but not less frequently than monthly. The base salary as adjusted by the Board from time to time shall constitute “Base
Salary” for purposes of this Agreement.


 


4.              ANNUAL
BONUS. During the Employment Term, the Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual discretionary incentive payment under the
Company’s Officer Incentive Program or any other annual bonus plan as may be in effect from time to time (the “Annual Bonus”).
The Employee’s target Annual Bonus opportunity will be not less than 100% of the Employee’s Base Salary (the “Target
Bonus”). The Annual Bonus, if earned, shall be paid no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year
to which the Annual Bonus relates.


 


5.              EQUITY
AWARDS. The Employee shall receive consideration for equity and other long-term incentive awards under any applicable equity incentive
plan adopted by the Company during the Employment Term.

(a)            BENEFIT
PLANS. During the Employment Term, the Employee shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plan that the Company
has adopted or may adopt, maintain or contribute to for the benefit of its employees generally, subject to satisfying the applicable
eligibility requirements, except to the extent such plans are duplicative of the benefits otherwise provided hereunder. The Employee’s
participation will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may modify or terminate any employee benefit plan at any time, according to the terms of such employee benefit
plan.


 


(b)            PAID
Time Off. The Employee may take a reasonable period of paid time off from time to time but not to the detriment of performance
of his duties as described in Section 1(b). The Employee shall not be entitled to or accrue a fixed amount of paid time off.


 


(c)            EXPENSES.
Upon presentation of reasonable substantiation and documentation as the Company may specify from time to time, the Employee shall be
reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, for all reasonable out-of-pocket business and entertainment
expenses incurred and paid by the Employee during the Employment Term and in connection with the performance of the Employee’s
duties hereunder. The Company shall also reimburse Employee’s expenses for legal or other advisors incurred in the review and finalization
of this Agreement.


 


7.              TERMINATION.
The Employee’s employment and the Employment Term shall terminate on the first of the following to occur:


 


(a)            DISABILITY.
Upon ten days’ prior written notice by the Company to the Employee of termination due to Disability. For purposes of this Agreement,
 “Disability” shall be defined as the inability of the Employee to have performed the Employee’s material duties
hereunder due to a physical or mental injury, infirmity or incapacity, which is determined to be permanent by a physician selected by
the Company or its insurers and reasonably acceptable to the Employee, for 180 days (including weekends and holidays) in any 365-day
period.


 


(b)            DEATH.
Automatically upon the date of death of the Employee.


 






    2


     


    

 


(c)            CAUSE.
Immediately upon written notice by the Company to the Employee of a termination for Cause. “Cause” shall mean:


 


(i)            Employee’s
refusal to substantially perform, following notice by the Company to the Employee, Employee’s duties to the Company, or gross negligence
or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of the Employee’s duties to the Company;


 


(ii)           Employee’s
conviction or plea of guilty or nolo contendere of a felony;


 


(iii)          Employee’s
conviction of any other criminal offense involving an act of dishonesty intended to result in personal enrichment of Employee at the
expense of the Company or an affiliate of the Company; or


 


(iv)          Employee’s
breach of any material Company policy or term of this Agreement or any other employment, consulting or other services, confidentiality,
intellectual property or non-competition agreements, if any, between the Employee and the Company or an affiliate of the Company.


 


Any determination of Cause by the Company will
be made by a resolution approved by a majority of the members of the Board, provided that no such determination may be made until
the Employee has been given written notice detailing the specific Cause event, an opportunity to appear before the full Board with legal
counsel, and a period of 30 days following receipt of such notice to cure such event (if susceptible to cure) to the satisfaction of
the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Employee’s right to cure as set forth in the preceding
sentence shall not apply if there are habitually repeated breaches by the Employee.


 


(d)            WITHOUT
CAUSE. Immediately upon written notice by the Company to the Employee of an involuntary termination without Cause (other than
for death or Disability).


 


(e)            GOOD
REASON. Upon written notice by the Employee to the Company of a termination for Good Reason. “Good Reason”
shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events, without the express written consent of the Employee, unless such events are
not habitually repeated and are fully corrected in all material respects by the Company within 30 days following written notification
by the Employee to the Company of the occurrence of one of the following:


 


(i)            a
material reduction in the Employee’s aggregate Base Salary or Target Bonus opportunity;


 


(ii)           a
material adverse change in the reporting structure applicable to the Employee, the assignment to the Employee of substantial duties or
responsibilities inconsistent with the Employee’s position at the Company, or any other action by the Company which results in
a substantial diminution of the Employee’s duties, authorities or responsibilities (other than temporarily while physically or
mentally incapacitated or as required by applicable law);


 


(iii)          a
requirement that the Employee work principally from a location that is 30 miles further from the principal places of employment specified
in Section 1(a) and from the Employee’s residence; or


 


(iv)          the
Company’s material breach of the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement or document which grants or gives the Employee
the right to receive equity in the Company.


 


The Employee shall provide the Company with a
written notice detailing the specific circumstances alleged to constitute Good Reason within 90 days after the first occurrence of such
circumstances that the Employee knows or reasonably should have known to constitute Good Reason, and actually terminate employment within
30 days following the expiration of the Company’s 30-day cure period described above (it being understood that each instance of
any such circumstances shall constitute a separate basis for such termination and a separate event or condition occurring on the date
of such instance for purposes of calculating the 90-day period). The failure by the Employee to provide written notice in detail of the
circumstances constituting “Good Reason” within the time period set forth in the preceding sentence shall result in
the Employee being deemed not to have terminated employment for Good Reason and to have irrevocably waived any claim of such circumstances
constituting Good Reason under this Agreement.


 






    3


     


    

 


(f)            WITHOUT
GOOD REASON. Upon 30 days’ prior written notice by the Employee to the Company of the Employee’s voluntary termination
of employment without Good Reason (which the Company may, in its sole discretion, make effective earlier than any notice date).


 


(g)            Expiration
of employment term. The Employee’s employment hereunder shall
automatically terminate at the end of the Employment Term if either party elects not to extend the Employment Term by delivery of a non-extension
notice contemplated by Section 2.


 


		8.	CONSEQUENCES
                                            OF TERMINATION.



 


(a)            DEATH.
In the event that the Employee’s employment and the Employment Term end on account of the Employee’s death, all outstanding
equity-based awards held by the Employee on the date of death shall immediately become fully vested and, to the extent applicable, exercisable,
and the Employee or the Employee’s estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to a lump sum payment of the following within
60 days following termination of employment, or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law:


 


(i)            any
unpaid Base Salary through the termination date;


 


(ii)           any
Annual Bonus relating to the prior year that was earned but unpaid as of the date of termination; and


 


(iii)          reimbursement
for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the termination date (collectively, Sections 8(a)(i) through 8(a)(iii) hereof
shall be hereafter referred to as the “Accrued Benefits”).


 


(b)            DISABILITY.
In the event that the Employee’s employment and/or Employment Term ends on account of the Employee’s Disability, all outstanding
equity-based awards held by the Employee on the date of termination of employment due to Disability shall immediately become fully vested
and, to the extent applicable, exercisable, and the Company shall pay or provide the Employee with the following:


 


(i)            the
Accrued Benefits; and


 


(ii)           subject
to (A) the Employee’s timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1985, as amended (“COBRA”) and (B) the Employee’s continued compliance with the obligations in Sections
9 and 10 hereof, Employee shall be eligible to participate in COBRA continuation coverage at the premium rate that is paid
by active employees for coverage of the Employee (and/or his eligible dependents) under the Company’s major medical group health
plan, for a period of 18 months, or, if less, until the Employee or his eligible dependents are no longer entitled to such COBRA coverage;
provided, that if the Company determines that the provision of this benefit would result in a violation of applicable law (including,
but not limited to, the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act) or penalties or adverse tax consequences to the Employee or the Company, then in lieu of providing such benefit, the Company shall
pay the Employee on the last day of each remaining month in which the benefit would have been provided a fully taxable cash payment equal
to the portion of the COBRA premium the Company otherwise would have paid for such month.


 


(c)            TERMINATION
FOR CAUSE OR WITHOUT GOOD REASON. If the Employee’s employment and the Employment Term are terminated by the Company
for Cause or by the Employee without Good Reason, the Company shall pay to the Employee the Accrued Benefits (other than, in the case
of a termination for Cause, payment of any unpaid Annual Bonus).


 






    4


     


    

 


(d)            TERMINATION
WITHOUT CAUSE OR FOR GOOD REASON. If the Employee’s employment and the Employment Term are terminated by the Company
other than for Cause (and other than due to the Employee’s death or Disability) or by the Employee for Good Reason, the Company
shall pay or provide the Employee with the following:


 


(i)            the
Accrued Benefits;


 


(ii)           subject
to the Employee’s continued compliance with the obligations in Sections 9 and 10 hereof, an amount equal to two times
the sum of (A) the Base Salary in effect on the termination date, and (B) the Target Bonus for the Company fiscal year in which
such termination occurs. Such amount shall be paid monthly in equal installments for a period of 12 months; provided that the commencement
of such installments is subject to restrictions in Section 24(b)(iii) if Employee is a “specified employee” as
described therein;


 


(iii)          subject
to (A) the Employee’s timely election of continuation coverage under COBRA and (B) the Employee’s continued compliance
with the obligations in Sections 9 and 10 hereof, Employee may participate in COBRA continuation coverage at the premium
rate that is paid by active employees for coverage of the Employee (or his eligible dependents) under the Company’s major medical
group health plan, for a period of 18 months (or up to 24 months if eligibility is extended under COBRA), or such period of time that
the Employee and his eligible dependents are eligible for COBRA continuation coverage; provided, that if the Company determines that
the provision of this benefit would result in a violation of applicable law (including, but not limited to, the 2010 Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act) or penalties or adverse tax consequences
to the Employee or the Company, then in lieu of providing such benefit, the Company shall pay the Employee on the last day of each remaining
month in which the benefit would have been provided a fully taxable cash payment equal to the portion of the COBRA premium the Company
otherwise would have paid for such month. Upon the Employee and his dependents becoming ineligible for COBRA continuation coverage, Employee
shall be reimbursed for the premiums paid by Employee for medical insurance for himself and his dependents for a period of time extending
to 24 months following termination of employment; provided, however, that Company’s obligation to make additional payments under
this paragraph will cease during any period that Employee is employed by a third party that provides comparable coverage to Employee;
and


 


(iv)          all
of the Employee’s equity-based awards that are outstanding on the termination date shall immediately become fully vested and, as
applicable, exercisable, without any action by the Board.


 


Payments and benefits provided in this Section 8(d) shall
be in lieu of any termination or severance payments or benefits for which the Employee may be eligible under any of the plans, policies
or programs of the Company or under the Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act of 1988 or any similar state statute or regulation.


 


For purposes of Sections 8(a), 8(b), and 8(d)(iv),
performance-based equity awards will vest (x) at target levels or (y) if the Board or a committee thereof determines in its
sole discretion that actual performance is measurable through the date of termination, at the greater of target levels or at the levels
achieved based on actual performance through the date of termination (as determined by the Board or a committee thereof)).


 


(e)            Termination
Due to Non-renewal of employment term. If the Employee’s employment and the Employment Term are terminated pursuant
to Section 7(g) as a result of the Employee providing notice of non-renewal of the Employment Term, the termination shall be
considered a termination by the Employee without Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement and the Employee’s entitlements shall
be as described in Section 7(c). If the Employee’s employment and the Employment Term are terminated pursuant to Section 7(g) as
a result of the Company providing notice of non-renewal of the Employment Term, the termination shall be considered a termination by
the Company without Cause for purposes of this Agreement and the Employee’s entitlements shall be as described in Section 7(d),
except that (i) the severance multiple (of Base Salary and Annual Bonus) in Section 8(d)(ii) shall be reduced from two
times to one times and (ii) the period of continued COBRA coverage in Section 8(d)(iii) shall be reduced to 12 months
or such shorter period of time that the Employee and his eligible dependents are eligible for COBRA continuation coverage.


 






    5


     


    

 


(f)            SECTION 280G.
If the Employee is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or of any other agreement,
contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by the Employee with the Company (an “Other Agreement”),
and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Employee
(including groups or classes of employees or beneficiaries of which the Employee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred,
is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Employee (a “Benefit Arrangement”), any right to exercise,
vesting, payment or benefit to the Employee under this Agreement, any Other Agreement and/or any Benefit Arrangement shall be reduced
or eliminated to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments,
or benefits to or for the Employee under this Agreement, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any exercise,
vesting, payment or benefit to the Employee under this Agreement to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning
of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a “Parachute Payment”) if, as a result of receiving
such Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Employee from the Company under this Agreement, all Other Agreements,
and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by the Employee without causing any
such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment.


 


(i)            Such
reduction or elimination will be calculated so that the amount received by Employee that is subject to Section 280G of the Code
will be reduced to an amount that is three times Employee’s “base amount” (defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of
the Code), less one dollar.


 


(ii)           The
Company shall accomplish such reduction by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments (with the payments to be made furthest in
the future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of performance awards, then by reducing or eliminating
any accelerated vesting of options or stock appreciation rights, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of restricted
stock or stock units, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Parachute Payments.


 


(iii)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any amount payable to the Employee could be deemed a Parachute Payment, the Company will use its best efforts to obtain
shareholder approval of the payments to Employee under this Agreement, any Other Agreement or any Benefit Arrangement that is described
in Section 280G(5)(B) of the Code in a manner intended to satisfy all applicable requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q&A-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of the Treasury Regulations.


 


(g)            OTHER
OBLIGATIONS. Upon any termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, unless otherwise specified in a written
agreement between the Company and the Employee and, unless the Company shall be in breach of any of its payment obligations in this Section 8,
the Employee shall be deemed to have resigned from the Board and any other position as an officer, director or fiduciary of the Company
and its affiliates, and shall take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Company to effectuate the foregoing.


 


(h)            EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY. The amounts payable to the Employee following termination of employment and the Employment Term hereunder pursuant
to Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall be in full and complete satisfaction of the Employee’s rights under this Agreement
and any other claims that the Employee may have in respect of the Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its affiliates,
and the Employee acknowledges that such amounts are fair and reasonable, and are the Employee’s sole and exclusive remedy, in lieu
of all other remedies at law or in equity, with respect to the termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder or any breach
of this Agreement.


 


9.            RELEASE.
Any and all amounts payable and benefits or additional rights provided pursuant to this Agreement beyond the Accrued Benefits shall only
be payable if the Employee delivers to the Company and does not revoke a general release of claims in favor of the Company in substantially
the form attached on Exhibit A hereto. Such release shall be executed and delivered (and no longer subject to revocation,
if applicable) within 60 days following termination.

		10.	RESTRICTIVE
                                            COVENANTS.



 


(a)            CONFIDENTIALITY.
During the course of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the Employee will have access to Confidential Information. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all data, information, ideas, concepts, discoveries,
trade secrets, inventions (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice), innovations, improvements, know-how, developments, techniques,
methods, processes, treatments, drawings, sketches, specifications, designs, plans, patterns, models, plans and strategies, and all other
confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets in any form or medium (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or
intangible form or medium) whether now or hereafter existing, relating to or arising from the past, current or potential business, activities
and/or operations of the Company or any of its affiliates, including, without limitation, any such information relating to or concerning
finances, sales, marketing, advertising, transition, promotions, pricing, personnel, customers, suppliers, vendors, raw partners and/or
competitors. The Employee agrees that the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise
communicate to any person, other than in the course of the Employee’s assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company, either
during the period of the Employee’s employment or at any time thereafter, any Confidential Information or other confidential or
proprietary information received from third parties subject to a duty on the Company’s and its affiliates’ part to maintain
the confidentiality of such information, and to use such information only for certain limited purposes, in each case, which shall have
been obtained by the Employee during the Employee’s employment by the Company (or any predecessor). The foregoing shall not apply
to information that (i) was known to the Employee or the public prior to its disclosure to the Employee; (ii) becomes generally
known to the public subsequent to disclosure to the Employee through no wrongful act of the Employee or any representative of the Employee;
or (iii) the Employee is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that the Employee provides
the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and cooperates with the Company at its expense in seeking a protective order
or other appropriate protection of such information).


 


(b)            NONCOMPETITION.
The Employee acknowledges that (i) the Employee performs services of a unique nature for the Company that are irreplaceable, and
that the Employee’s performance of such services to a competing business will result in irreparable harm to the Company, (ii) the
Employee has had and will continue to have access to Confidential Information which, if disclosed, would unfairly and inappropriately
assist in competition against the Company or any of its affiliates, (iii) in the course of the Employee’s employment by a
competitor, the Employee would inevitably use or disclose such Confidential Information, (iv) the Company and its affiliates have
substantial relationships with their customers and the Employee has had and will continue to have access to these customers, (v) the
Employee has received and will receive specialized training from the Company and its affiliates, and (vi) the Employee is expected
to generate goodwill for the Company and its affiliates in the course of the Employee’s employment. Accordingly, during the Employee’s
employment and for a period of one year thereafter, the Employee agrees that the Employee will not, whether on the Employee’s own
behalf or on behalf or in conjunction with any person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association corporation or other business organization,
directly or indirectly, perform or attempt to perform Prohibited Services (as defined below) for any Competitive Business (as defined
below) anywhere within the Restricted Territory (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, “Prohibited Services”
are any services that are the same or substantially similar to the services Employee provided to the Company during the last twenty-four
(24) months of Employee’s employment with the Company, including, without limitation, brokerage or advisory services, or services
that require Employee to use or disclose Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitive Business”
means any person or entity engaged in the business of acquiring, owning, leasing, and/or financing cannabis properties or any other business
in which the Company has engaged or have active plans to engage during the last twenty-four (24) months of Employee’s employment
with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit the Employee from (i) being a passive owner of not
more than five percent (5%) of the equity securities of a publicly traded corporation engaged in a business that is in competition with
the Company or any of its affiliates, so long as the Employee provides no Prohibited Services to such corporation or (ii) owning,
managing, operating, controlling, or being employed by any firm, corporation or other entity in the same capacity in which the Employee
was engaged immediately prior to the Termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder, as long as (a) the Board has been
apprised of the identity of, and the Employee’s role with, such firm, corporation or other entity and (b) the Board has previously
approved in writing the Employee’s role with such firm, corporation or other entity, in the case of both (a) and (b), prior
to the Employee’s termination of employment. In addition, the provisions of this Section 10(b) shall not be violated
by the Employee commencing employment with a subsidiary, division or unit of any entity that engages in a business in competition with
the Company or any of its affiliates so long as: (i) the Employee and such subsidiary, division or unit does not engage in a business
in competition with the Company or any of its affiliates; and (ii) the Employee informs such entity of the restrictions contained
in this Section 10.


 


For the purposes of this
Agreement, the “Restricted Territory” shall mean any county, parish, or similar political subdivision within the United
States of America where the Company conducted business or had active plans to conduct business during the last twenty-four (24) months
of Employee’s employment with the Company.

(c)            NON-SOLICITATION;
NONINTERFERENCE.


 


(i)            During
the Employee’s employment with the Company and for a period of one year thereafter, the Employee agrees that the Employee shall
not, except in the furtherance of the Employee’s duties hereunder, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other
person, firm, corporation or other entity, solicit, aid or induce any Tenant of the Company or any of its affiliates to solicit Tenants
(as defined below) of the Company and its affiliates or to aid in such solicitation. For purposes of this Agreement, “Tenant”
means any person or entity that during the last twenty-four (24) months of Employee’s employment with the Company that: (i) 
contracted for, was billed for, or received from the Company any product, service or process and Employee had direct or indirect contact
with or acquired Confidential Information about such person or entity; (ii) was in contact with Employee concerning the sale or
purchase of, or contract for, any product, service or process with the Company; or (iii) was solicited by Employee on behalf of
the Company.


 


(ii)           During
the Employee’s employment with the Company and for a period of one year thereafter, the Employee agrees that the Employee shall
not, except in the furtherance of the Employee’s duties hereunder, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other
person, firm, corporation or other entity, (A) solicit, aid or induce any employee, representative or agent of the Company or any
of its affiliates to leave such employment or retention or to accept employment with or render services to or with any other person,
firm, corporation or other entity unaffiliated with the Company or hire or retain any such employee, representative or agent, or take
any action to materially assist or aid any other person, firm, corporation or other entity in identifying, hiring or soliciting any such
employee, representative or agent (provided that this restriction shall not apply to professional service firms), or (B) interfere,
or aid or induce any other person or entity in interfering, with the relationship between the Company or any of its affiliates and any
of their respective vendors, joint venturers, licensors or Tenants. An employee, representative or agent shall be deemed covered by this
Section 10(c)(ii) while so employed or retained and for a period of six months thereafter.


 


(iii)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 10(c) shall not be violated by (A) general advertising or solicitation
not specifically targeted at Company-related persons or entities or hiring a respondent to such advertising or solicitation, (B) the
Employee serving as a reference, upon request, for any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates so long as such reference is
not for an entity that is employing or retaining the Employee, or (C) actions taken by any person or entity with which the Employee
is associated if the Employee is not personally involved in any manner in the matter and has not identified such Company-related person
or entity for soliciting or hiring.


 


(d)            NON-DISPARAGEMENT.
The Employee agrees not to make negative comments or otherwise disparage the Company or its officers, directors, employees, shareholders,
agents or products other than in the good faith performance of the Employee’s duties to the Company while the Employee is employed
by the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, make or solicit or encourage others
to make or solicit any negative comments or otherwise disparaging remarks concerning the Employee. The foregoing shall not be violated
by truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings (including, without limitation, filings
or submissions to the Securities and Exchange Commission), or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation,
depositions in connection with such proceedings).


 


(e)            RETURN
OF COMPANY PROPERTY. On the date of the Employee’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason (or at
any time prior thereto at the Company’s request), the Employee shall return all property belonging to the Company or its affiliates
(including, but not limited to, any Company-provided laptops, computers, software, cell phones, wireless electronic mail devices or other
equipment, or documents, records and property belonging to the Company). The Employee may retain the Employee’s rolodex and similar
address books provided that such items only include contact information.

(f)            REASONABLENESS
OF COVENANTS. In signing this Agreement, the Employee gives the Company assurance that the Employee has carefully read and
considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed under this Section 10. The
Employee agrees that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and its affiliates and their
Confidential Information and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and
geographic area, and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent the Employee from obtaining other suitable
employment during the period in which the Employee is bound by the restraints. The Employee acknowledges that each of these covenants
has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company and its affiliates and that the Employee has sufficient assets and
skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. The Employee further covenants that the Employee will not challenge
the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 10. It is also agreed that each of
the Company’s affiliates will have the right to enforce all of the Employee’s obligations to that affiliate under this Agreement,
including without limitation pursuant to this Section 10.


 


(g)           REFORMATION.
If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this Section 10 is excessive
in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction
may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state.


 


(h)           TOLLING.
In the event of any violation of the provisions of this Section 10 by the Employee, the Employee acknowledges and agrees
that the post-termination restrictions contained in this Section 10 shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period
of such violation, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the running of the applicable post-termination restriction period
shall be tolled during any period of such violation.


 


(i)            SURVIVAL
OF PROVISIONS. The obligations contained in this Section 10 shall survive the termination in the event of the
termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company during the Employment Term and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.


 


(j)            COOPERATION.
Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Company (including outside counsel), the Employee agrees that while employed by the Company,
the Employee will respond and provide information with regard to matters in which the Employee has knowledge as a result of the Employee’s
employment with the Company, and will provide reasonable assistance to the Company, its affiliates and their respective representatives
in defense of any claims that may be made against the Company or its affiliates, and will assist the Company and its affiliates in the
prosecution of any claims that may be made by the Company or its affiliates, to the extent that such claims may relate to the period
of the Employee’s employment with the Company.


 


(k)           PARTICIPATION
IN AGENCY PROCEEDINGS. Nothing contained in this Agreement limits Employee’s ability to file a charge or complaint with
any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (each a “Governmental Agency”) concerning a violation
by the Company or its officers and directors, of applicable law. Employee acknowledges and understands that this Agreement does not limit
his ability to communicate with any Governmental Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted
by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information. The Company will take no enforcement action against Employee
described in this Agreement in the event that Employee validly engages in conduct that is described herein.


 


11.            EQUITABLE
RELIEF AND OTHER REMEDIES. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened
breach of any of the provisions of Section 10 hereof would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Employee agrees
that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond or
other security, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary
or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages.
In the event of a violation by the Employee of Section 10 hereof, any severance being paid to the Employee pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise shall immediately cease. If the Company adopts a “clawback” or recoupment policy, payments
under this Agreement will be subject to repayment to the Company but only to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, listing
requirement and as so provided under the terms of such policy.


 


12.            INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY


 


(a)            COMPANY
USE. If during the term of employment Employee produces, develops, creates, invents, conceives or reduces to practice, inventions
and intellectual property (as such terms are defined herein) in the Company’s business, Employee shall maintain and furnish to
the Company complete and current records of all such inventions and intellectual property. Employee agrees that all such inventions and
intellectual property are and shall be the exclusive property of the Company, and that the Company may use or pursue them without restriction
or additional compensation to the Employee.


 






    9


     


    

 


(b)            work
made for hire. Employee: (i) hereby assigns, sets over and transfers to the Company all of his right, title and
interest in and to such inventions and intellectual property; (ii) to the extent consistent with the Copyright act of 1976 (the
 “Copyright Act”), each such invention or intellectual property shall be a “work made for hire” as that term is
defined in section 101 of the Copyright Act, and shall be the sole property of the Company and the Company shall be the sole author thereof
within the meaning of the Copyright Act, and if any such invention, intellectual property or any portion thereof is not deemed to be
a “work made for hire,” this Agreement shall operate as an irrevocable assignment of the copyright to the invention or intellectual
property throughout the world, and (iii) agrees that Employee and his agents shall, during and after the period Employee is retained
by the Company, cooperate fully in obtaining patent, trademark, service mark, copyright, mask work or other proprietary protection for
such inventions and intellectual property, which action may be initiated in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, all in
the name of the Company at its own expense, and, without limitation, shall execute all requested applications, assignments and other
documents in furtherance of obtaining such protection or registration and confirming full ownership by the Company of such inventions
and intellectual property.


 


(c)            power
of attorney. Employee hereby designates the Company as its agent, and grants to the Company a power of attorney with
full substitution, which power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, for the purposes of effecting the foregoing assignments
from the Employee to the Company. Employee shall, upon leaving the Company, provide to the Company in writing a full, signed statement
of all inventions and intellectual property in which Employee participated prior to termination of Employee’s employment.


 


(d)            Definitions.
The term “inventions” includes ideas, discoveries, inventions, developments and improvements, whether or
not reduced to practice and whether or not patentable or otherwise protected or protectable under state, federal, or foreign patent,
trade mark, copyright or similar laws. The term “intellectual property” means all inventions, writing, trade name, trademark,
service mark or any other material registered or otherwise protected or protectable under state, federal, or foreign patent, trademark,
copyright, or similar laws.


 


13.           NO
ASSIGNMENTS. This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto. Except as provided in this Section 13 hereof,
no party may assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto.
The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, provided
that the Company shall require such successor to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company”
shall mean the Company and any successor to its business and/or assets, which assumes and agrees to perform the duties and obligations
of the Company under this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be

15.            SECTION HEADINGS;
INCONSISTENCY. The section headings used in this Agreement are included solely for convenience and shall not affect, or be used in
connection with, the interpretation of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any
form, award, plan or policy of the Company, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.


 


16.            SEVERABILITY.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in
any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or
the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights
and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.


 


17.            COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.


 


18.            INDEMNIFICATION.
In addition to any rights to indemnification to which the Employee is entitled under the bylaws of Freehold Properties or the limited
partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership as they may be further amended from time to time, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify
the Employee and hold the Employee harmless to the maximum extent permitted under the applicable laws of the Maryland General Corporation
Law and the Nevada Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or any successor provisions thereof and any other applicable state laws, in
respect of any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s
fees), losses, and damages resulting from the Employee’s good faith performance of the Employee’s duties and obligations
with the Company. Costs and expenses incurred by the Employee in defense of such actions, suits or proceedings (including attorneys’
fees) shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such litigation upon receipt by the Company of: (i) a
written request for payment; (ii) appropriate documentation evidencing the incurrence, amount and nature of the costs and expenses
for which payment is being sought; and (iii) an undertaking adequate under applicable law made by or on behalf of the Employee to
repay the amounts so paid if it shall ultimately be determined that the Employee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under
this Agreement. This obligation shall survive the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company.


 


19.            LIABILITY
INSURANCE. The Company shall cover the Employee under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance both during and, while
potential liability exists, after the term of this Agreement in the same amount and to the same extent as the Company covers its other
officers and directors.


 


20.            GOVERNING
LAW. This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland (without regard to its choice of law provisions). The parties acknowledge
and agree that in connection with any dispute hereunder, each party shall pay all of its own costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
its own legal fees and expenses.


 


21.            MISCELLANEOUS.
No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing
and signed by the Employee and such officer or director as may be designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time
of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such
other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.
This Agreement together with all exhibits hereto sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter
contained herein and supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between the Employee and the Company with respect to the
subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, the Original Agreement. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express
or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.
The payment or provision to the Employee by the Company of any remuneration, benefits or other financial obligations pursuant to this
Agreement and any indemnification obligations, shall be allocated between the Company and the Operating Partnership by the Board based
on any reasonable method, so long as such allocation does not unduly burden the Employee.


 






    11


     


    

 


22.            REPRESENTATIONS.
The Employee represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the Employee has the legal right to enter into this Agreement and to
perform all of the obligations on the Employee’s part to be performed hereunder in accordance with its terms, and (b) the
Employee is not a party to any agreement or understanding, written or oral, and is not subject to any restriction, which, in either case,
could prevent the Employee from entering into this Agreement or performing all of the Employee’s duties and obligations hereunder.
In addition, the Employee acknowledges that the Employee is aware of Section 304 (Forfeiture of Certain Bonuses and Profits) of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the right of the Company thereunder to be reimbursed for certain payments to the Employee in compliance
therewith.


 


23.            TRUST.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other agreement, the Company shall, at the direction of Employee, pay over any
benefit (whether cash, equity, or equity-based award) that would otherwise be due to Employee to a trust designated by Employee. Any
equity or equity-based award paid over to a trust pursuant to this Section 23 shall be registered in the name of the trust,
and shall remain subject to the same restrictions or forfeiture conditions that would otherwise apply.


 


24.           TAX
MATTERS.


 


(a)            WITHHOLDING.
The Company may withhold from any and all amounts payable under this Agreement or otherwise such federal, state and local taxes as may
be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.


 


(b)            SECTION 409A
COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 24(b) shall control
with respect to any payment or benefit payable by the Company to Employee that is subject to Section 409A of the Code. The intent
of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with (or qualify for an exemption from) Section 409A of
the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Section 409A”) and, accordingly,
to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified
in order to comply with Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably
possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the Employee and the Company of the applicable provision without violating
the restrictions on nonqualified deferred compensation in Section 409A.


 


(i)            A
termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment
of “deferred compensation” (as such term is defined in Section 409A) upon or following termination of employment
unless such termination of employment is also a “separation from service” from Employer within the meaning of Section 409A
and Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h) and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination
of employment” or any similar term or phrase shall mean “separation from service.”


 


(ii)           For
purposes of Section 409A, the Employee’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated
as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period
with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the
Company.


 


(iii)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Employee is deemed on the termination date to be a “specified employee”
within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that
is considered deferred compensation under Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such
payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six-month period
measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Employee, and (B) the date of the Employee’s
death, to the extent required under Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed
pursuant to this Section 24(b)(iii) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments
in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Employee in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due
under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.


 






    12


     


    

 


(iv)          For
purposes of Section 409A, (A) Employee may not, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment; (B) no
acceleration of the time and form of payment of any nonqualified deferred compensation to Employee or any portion thereof, shall be permitted,
and (C) any payment to be made after receipt of an executed and irrevocable release within any specified period, in which such period
begins in one taxable year of Employee and ends in a second taxable year of Employee, will be made in the second taxable year.


 


(v)           Notwithstanding
any other provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “deferred compensation”
for purposes of Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Section 409A.


 


(vi)          To
the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement may constitute nonqualified
deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A), (A) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the Company
no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Employee, (B) the
right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (C) the amount
of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided, that the foregoing clause shall not be violated
with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses
are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect.

EXHIBIT A


 


GENERAL
RELEASE


 


I,
Donald C. Brain, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Freehold Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Freehold
Properties”), and Freehold Properties Operating Partnership, LP, a Nevada limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”
and, together with Freehold Properties and its subsidiaries, the “Company”), of its obligations under the Amended
and Restated Employment Agreement, dated [●], 2021 (the “Agreement”), do hereby release and forever discharge
as of the date hereof the Company and its respective affiliates and all present, former and future managers, directors, officers, employees,
attorneys, advisors, successors and assigns of the Company and its affiliates and direct or indirect owners (collectively, the “Released
Parties”) to the extent provided below (this “General Release”). The Released Parties are intended to be
third-party beneficiaries of this General Release, and this General Release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms
hereof in respect of the rights granted to such Released Parties hereunder. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings given to them in the Agreement.


 


1.            I
understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Section 8 of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration
for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I
will not receive certain of the payments and benefits specified in Section 8 of the Agreement unless I execute this General
Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter. Such payments and benefits will not be considered
compensation for purposes of any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company
or its affiliates.


 


2.            Except
as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement which expressly survive the termination of my
employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and
forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions, causes of action,
cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages,
claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through
the date that this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the
Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, may have, which
arise out of or are connected with my employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company (including, but not limited
to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of
1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay
Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment
Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; or their
state or local counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local, state, or
federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies,
practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation;
or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively
referred to herein as the “Claims”).


 


3.            I
represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action or other matters covered by paragraph
2 above.


 


4.            I
agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with
the Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action (including, without limitation,
any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967).


 






    


     


    

 


5.            I
agree that I hereby waive all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive relief from any or all Released Parties of any
kind whatsoever in respect of any Claims, including, without limitation, reinstatement, back pay, front pay, and any form of injunctive
relief. Notwithstanding the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that
cannot be waived under law, including the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or
proceeding with any governmental agency, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and similar state agencies; provided,
however, that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from the prosecution of such charge
or investigation or proceeding. Additionally, I am not waiving (i) any right to the Accrued Benefits or any severance benefits
to which I am entitled under the Agreement, (ii) any claim relating to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
coverage or any right of indemnification under the Company’s organizational documents or otherwise, or (iii) my rights as
an equity or security holder in the Company or its affiliates.


 


6.            In
signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove
mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of
its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state or local statute
that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those
relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material
term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. I further
agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against
the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such
Claims to the maximum extent permitted by law. I further agree that I am not aware of any pending claim of the type described in paragraph
2 above as of the execution of this General Release.


 


7.            I
agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed
at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.


 


8.            I
agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released Parties, and the Company or the Released Parties
are successful in whole or part in any legal or equitable action against me under this Agreement, I agree to pay all costs and expenses
of defending against the suit incurred by the Released Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.


 


9.            I
agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this
General Release or the Agreement, except to my immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning
or effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone.


 


10.          Any
non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about
this General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA), any other self-regulatory organization or any governmental entity (“Government Agencies”).
While this General Release does not limit my right to receive an award for information provided to the Government Agencies, I understand
and agree that, I am otherwise waiving, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all rights I may have to individual relief
based on any Claims that I have released and any rights I have waived by signing this General Release. If any Claim is not subject to
release, to the extent permitted by law, I hereby waive any right or ability to be a class or collective action representative or
to otherwise participate in any putative or certified class, collective or multi-party action or proceeding based on such a Claim in
which any of the Released Parties is a party. This General Release does not abrogate my existing rights under any Company benefit plan,
but it does waive, release and forever discharge Claims existing as of the date I execute this General Release pursuant to any such plan
or agreement.


 


11.          I
hereby acknowledge that Sections 8 through 13, and 17 through 22 of the Agreement shall survive my execution of this General Release.
I acknowledge and agree to comply with my ongoing obligations under Section 10 of the Agreement, “Restrictive Covenants”,
including my obligations to refrain from competing with the Company or engaging in prohibited solicitation, interference, or disparagement.


 






    


     


    

 


12.            I
represent that I am not aware of any claim by me other than the Claims that are released by this General Release. I acknowledge that
I may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different than those which I now know or believe to exist with respect to
the subject matter of the release set forth in paragraph 2 above and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General
Release, may have materially affected this General Release and my decision to enter into it.


 


13.            Notwithstanding
anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights
or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.


 


14.            This
General Release constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between me and the Company with regard
to this subject matter. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly
contained herein, and it supersedes any other such promises, warranties or representations. This General Release may not be modified
or amended except in a writing signed by both me and a duly authorized officer of the Company. This General Release will bind the heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns of both me and the Company, and inure to the benefit of both me and the Company, their
heirs, successors and assigns. Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in, such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction
as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
