Option shall be the fair market value on the date of grant, as determined by the Board. The Option will vest ratably over the 36-month
period beginning on the date of the Original Agreement (1/36 th per month) and will be deemed fully-vested upon any transaction
or series of related transactions that constitutes a Change of Control Transaction (as defined below).

(i)            Continuing Education. The Company will pay for all continuing education expenses incurred by Executive up to a maximum of
$7,500 per year. Executive’s time spent in attendance at any continuing education will not be considered vacation time.


 


(j)            Relocation Assistance. If the duties of the Executive require the Executive to relocate his primary resident to any state
in which the Company maintains a physical office location, the Executive will notify the Board that he is required to relocate
his primary residence, and the Board will approve of such relocation (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). In connection
with any such relocation, the Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable and documented relocation expenses incurred by
Executive and the members of his immediate household in moving to the new location, including, without limitation, moving expenses,
rental payments for temporary living quarters in the area of relocation for a period not to exceed six months, real estate brokerage
commissions incurred by Executive in connection with the sale of his then existing primary residence, and loan financing charges
and closing costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and financing of a new residence. The Executive shall provide all
such expense reimbursement documentation within seventy-five (75) days of incurring such expense and the Company shall reimburse
the Executive within thirty (30) days thereafter.


 


(k)           Expense Reimbursement. While Executive is employed by the Company hereunder, the Company will reimburse Executive for all
reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business, travel and entertainment expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of
the duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. Executive will provide additional documentation in the form of receipts,
vouchers, invoices and the like that pertain to and further substantiate and verify any such reimbursable expense, and the receipt
thereof by the Company, when requested, will be a condition precedent to payment. The Executive shall provide all such expense
reimbursement documentation within seventy-five (75) days of incurring such expense and the Company shall reimburse the Executive
within thirty (30) days thereafter.


 


5.             Termination. Executive and the Company acknowledge that Executive’s employment with the Company is at-will, which
may be terminated by the Company or Executive at any time for any reason or no reason. The provisions of Section 4(a) through
and including Section 4(e) govern the amount of compensation, if any, to be provided to Executive upon termination of employment
and do not alter this at-will status.


 


		(a)	Termination for Cause.



 


(i)            The
Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time for “Cause”,
which shall include, but is not limited to, the following:


 


(A)          Executive
is convicted of or Executive pleads guilty or nolo contendere to, any felony, or Executive is convicted of, or Executive
pleads guilty or nolo contendere to, any crime or offense (whether or not involving the Company or any of its affiliates)
either (A) constituting a crime of moral turpitude that is punishable by imprisonment in a state or federal correction facility,
or (B) involving acts of theft, fraud or embezzlement;


 


(B)           Executive’s
misconduct that causes material harm to the Company’s business reputation, or commission of a material act of dishonesty
involving the Company or its affiliates;


 


(C)           Material fraud with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates;


 


(D)          a
material breach by Executive of his obligations under this Agreement or any other written agreement with the Company, which Executive
fails to cure within 30 days after receipt of written notice of such breach; and


 


(E)           breach of the Company’s policies or procedures which causes, or could reasonably be expected to cause, material harm to
the Company or its affiliates, which Executive fails to cure within 30 days after receipt of written notice of such breach.

(ii)           If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause at any time, then: (A) Executive will not be entitled to pay
in lieu of notice or any other such compensation, and all compensation and benefits payable to Executive under this Agreement
terminate on Executive’s date of termination, and (B) the Company agrees to pay Executive the Base Salary and benefits under
Section 4(a) and Section 4(e) that have accrued as of the date of such termination.


 


		(b)	Termination Without Cause, for Disability or Voluntary Termination.



 


(i)            Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated either by the Company without Cause or due to the Executive’s
disability (as defined below) or by Executive, in which event Executive will be entitled to receive his Base Salary for each day
following notice of such termination that Executive reports and is available for work until the termination date. As a professional
courtesy, the Company requests that Executive provide it with ninety (90) days’ written notice of his intent to terminate
employment pursuant to this Section 5(b). Likewise, where feasible, the Company will endeavor to provide Executive with
reasonable notice if it chooses to terminate the employment relationship. During any such notice period, Executive agrees to supply
any such transition services as the Board may direct. The Board, in its sole discretion, may direct Executive to not report to
his office and/or to not perform any services for the Company during such 90-day period.


 


(ii)           If the Company should terminate Executive’s employment for reasons other than for Cause or due to disability, subject
to the Executive’s execution of a release in form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the Company agrees to pay Executive
the Base Salary under Section 4(a), any accrued bonus under Section 4(c), and any benefits under Section 4(e)
and Section 4(f), for a period equal to the lesser of 24 months after termination or the remaining balance of the Term (collectively,
the “Severance Payments”), paid in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule and practices.


 


		(c)	Death or Disability.



 


(i)            This
Agreement will terminate immediately upon Executive’s death, and the Company will not have any further liability or obligation
to Executive, Executive’s executors, heirs, assigns or any other person claiming under or through Executive’s estate,
except that Executive’s estate will receive any accrued but unpaid Base Salary, any accrued but unpaid bonus amounts, and
all benefits through the date of death.


 


(ii)           The
Company will have the right to terminate this Agreement if Executive becomes disabled. The term “disabled” means any
disability that qualifies as a disability under any long-term disability plan of the Company then in effect or, absent such a
plan, Executive’s inability, due to physical or mental ill health, to perform substantially all of the duties prescribed
to him in the context of Executive’s employment, on a full time basis and in a professional, competent, and consistent manner,
for one hundred twenty (120) days during any one hundred eighty (180) day period irrespective of whether or not such days are
consecutive.


 


(d)   Change of Control Transaction. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5 to the contrary, if the Company (or
its successor) terminates the employment of Executive upon or at any time in connection with a change in the ownership or effective
control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, each within the meaning
of Section 409A (as defined below (each, a “Change of Control Transaction”)), subject to the Executive’s
execution of a release in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, the Executive shall be entitled to the following severance
payments and benefits upon such termination: (i) a lump sum cash payment, within 30 days after termination, equal to 24 months
of the Executive’s then-current base salary; (ii) a lump sum cash payment, within 30 days after termination, equal to a pro-rated
amount of his/her target annual bonus for the year immediately preceding the termination; (iii) payment of the full amount of all
premiums for continued health benefits (including COBRA) under the Company’s health plans for a period of 12 months following
the termination; and (iv) immediate vesting of 100% of the then-unvested portion of any outstanding equity awards held by the Executive.
In each case such amounts shall be less payroll taxes and withholding required by any federal, state or local law.

6.             Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, during the Term, he may have access
to and become familiar with various trade secrets and other confidential or proprietary information of the Company including, but
not limited to, the Company’s existing and contemplated services and products, documentation, technical data, contracts,
business and financial methods, practices and plans, costs and pricing, lists of the Company’s customers, prospective customers
and contacts, suppliers, vendors, consultants and employees, methods of obtaining customers, suppliers, vendors, consultants and
employees, financial and operational data of the Company’s present and prospective customers, suppliers, vendors, consultants

trade secrets; and the Company’s techniques of doing business, business strategies and standards (including all non-public
information of the Company, collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Executive expressly agrees not to
disclose any Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, nor use Confidential Information in any way, either during the Term
or at any time thereafter, except as required in the course of his employment with the Company. Specifically, during the Term or
engagement of Executive by the Company and thereafter, Executive (i) shall maintain the Confidential Information in strict confidence;
(ii) shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any person or other entity; (iii) shall not use any Confidential Information
to the detriment of the Company and for the benefit of Executive or any other person or entity; (iv) shall not authorize or permit
such use or disclosure; and (v) shall comply with the policies and procedures of the Company regarding use and disclosure of Confidential
Information. All files, papers, records, documents, drawings, specifications, equipment and similar items relating to the business
of the Company and Confidential Information, whether prepared by Executive or otherwise coming into his possession, shall at all
times remain the exclusive property of the Company and such items and all copies thereof shall be returned to the Company at Company’s
request or upon the expiration or termination of Executive’s employment. In connection with his termination of employment
with the Company, Executive will cooperate with the Company in completing and signing a termination statement or affidavit in the
form proscribed by the Company, which will contain Executive’s certification that he has no tangible Confidential Information
in his possession.


 


7.             Ownership
of Intellectual Property. To the extent that Executive, alone or with others, develops, makes, conceives, contributes to or
reduces to practice any intellectual property related to the duties of Executive hereunder or which results in any way from Executive
using the resources of the Company, during the period of Executive’s employment with the Company, whether or not during
working hours, such intellectual property is and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.


 


To the extent any such
intellectual property can be protected by copyright, and is deemed in any way to fall within the definition of “work made
for hire” as such term is defined in 17 U.S.C. §101, such intellectual property shall be considered to have been produced
under contract for the Company as a work made for hire. In any event, and regardless of whether such intellectual property is deemed
to be a “work made for hire”, Executive shall disclose any and all such intellectual property to the Company and does
hereby assign to the Company any and all right, title and interest which Executive may have in and to such intellectual property.
Upon the Company’s request at any time, including any time after termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall
execute and deliver to the Company such other documents as the Company deems necessary to vest in the Company the sole ownership
of and exclusive worldwide rights in and to, all of such intellectual property.


 


8.             Miscellaneous.


 


(a)           Notices.
All notices under this Agreement shall be sent and deemed duly given when posted in the United States first-class mail, postage
prepaid to the addresses set forth below such party’s signature on the signature page of this Agreement. These addresses
may be changed from time to time by written notice to the appropriate party. For the avoidance of doubt, no notice provided by
Executive to himself as an officer or employee of the Company will be effective to provide notice to the Company, and no notice
from Executive as an officer or employee of the Company to himself under this Agreement will be effective to provide notice to
Executive.


 


(b)           Assignment. This Agreement is binding upon the Company and Executive and may not be assigned by either of them without the

(c)           No Waiver. The failure of either the Company or Executive to object to any conduct or violation of any of the covenants

arising under this Agreement will be valid unless set forth in an appropriate writing signed by both the Company and Executive.


 


(d)           Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the Company and Executive, and supersedes
all prior oral or written communications, proposals, representations, warranties, covenants, understandings or agreements between
the Company and Executive, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the Original Agreement.


 


(e)           No Oral Modifications. No alterations, amendments, changes or additions to this Agreement will be binding upon either the
Company or Executive unless reduced to writing and signed by both the Company (by an officer specifically designated in writing
by the Board) and Executive.


 


(f)            Severability. The covenants, provisions and sections of this Agreement are severable, and if any portion of this Agreement
is held to be unlawful or unenforceable, the same will not affect any other portion of this Agreement, and the remaining terms
and conditions or portions thereof will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement will be construed in such case as if such
unlawful or unenforceable portion had never been contained in this Agreement, in order to effectuate the intentions of the Company
and Executive in executing this Agreement.


 


(g)           Survival. Provisions of this Agreement which by their nature are intended to survive termination of Executive’s employment
with the Company or expiration of this Agreement will survive any such termination or expiration of this Agreement, including but
not limited to Section 4 through and including Section 8.


 


(h)           Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware
without giving effect to the choice of laws principles thereof.

Venue. Each of the parties hereto by its execution hereof:


 


(i)            irrevocably
submits to the jurisdiction of any state court located in the State of Delaware and to the jurisdiction of the United States District

such proceeding brought in any of the above-named courts, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such
courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced
in or by such court.


 


The parties
hereto hereby consent to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware,
and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified in or pursuant
to this Agreement is reasonably calculated to give actual notice.


 


(j)            Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction
or interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.


 


(k)           Advice of Counsel and Construction. The parties acknowledge that all parties to this Agreement have been represented by

(l)            Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed
an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Further, this Agreement may be executed by

as an original document.


 


(m)          Section 409A. Each payment under this Agreement, including each payment in a series of installment payments, is intended
to be a separate payment for purposes of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b), and is intended to be: (i) exempt from Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the regulations and other binding guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section
409A”), including, but not limited to, by compliance with the short-term deferral exemption as specified in Treas. Reg.

or (ii) in compliance with Section 409A, including, but not limited to, being paid pursuant to a fixed schedule or specified date
pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(a) and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed
accordingly. If, nonetheless, this Agreement either fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or is not exempt from the
application of Section 409A, then the parties hereby agree to amend or to clarify this Agreement in a timely manner so that this
Agreement either satisfies the requirements of Section 409A or is exempt from the application of Section 409A. Nevertheless, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Company or any of its affiliates shall be directly or indirectly
liable for any failure of any payment made pursuant to this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A.

Pursuant to that certain

other benefits to be made to me (the “Benefits”) pursuant to the Employment Agreement, which were offered to
me in exchange for my agreement, among other things, to waive all of my claims against and release Company from any and all claims,
demands, actions, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating in any way to my employment with or separation from the Company;
provided, however, that this Waiver and Release will not apply to any claim or cause of action to enforce or interpret any provision
contained in the Employment Agreement.


 


I understand that
signing this Waiver and Release is an important legal act. I acknowledge that the Company has advised me in writing to consult
an attorney before signing this Waiver and Release and has given me at least 45 days from the day I received a copy of this Waiver
and Release to sign it.


 


In exchange for the
payment to me of Benefits, I, among other things, (1) agree not to sue in any local, state and/or federal court regarding or relating
in any way to my employment with or separation from the Company, and (2) knowingly and voluntarily waive all claims and release
the Company from any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, and damages, whether known or unknown, arising out of or relating
in any way to my employment with or separation from the Company, except to the extent that my rights are vested under the terms
of employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company and except with respect to such rights or claims as may arise after the date
this Waiver and Release is executed. This Waiver and Release includes, but is not limited to, claims and causes of action under:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, including
the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990; the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans

termination or any other state or federal regulatory, statutory or common law. Further, I expressly represent that no promise or
agreement which is not expressed in the Employment Agreement has been made to me in executing this Waiver and Release, and that
I am relying on my own judgment in executing this Waiver and Release, and that I am not relying on any statement or representation
of the Company. I agree that this Waiver and Release is valid, fair, adequate and reasonable, is entered into with my full knowledge
and consent, was not procured through fraud, duress or mistake and has not had the effect of misleading, misinforming or failing

Should any of the provisions

it is agreed that such determination shall not affect the enforceability of other provisions of this Waiver and Release. I acknowledge

is received on or before that seventh day by [the following information is to be inserted at the time of termination of execution
of this Release:] [Name], [Title], [Company] [Address, City, State ZIP], in which case the Waiver and Release will not become
effective. In the event I revoke my acceptance of this offer, the Company shall have no obligation to provide me Benefits. I understand
that failure to revoke my acceptance of the offer within 7 calendar days from the date I sign this Waiver and Release will result
in this Waiver and Release being permanent and irrevocable.


 


I acknowledge that
I have read this Waiver and Release, have had an opportunity to ask questions and have it explained to me and that I understand
that this Waiver and Release will have the effect of knowingly and voluntarily waiving any action I might pursue, including breach
of contract, personal injury, retaliation, discrimination on the basis of race, age, sex, national origin, or disability and any
other claims arising prior to the date of this Waiver and Release. By execution of this document, I do not waive or release or
otherwise relinquish any legal rights I may have which are attributable to or arise out of acts, omissions, or events of the Company
which occur after the date of the execution of this Waiver and Release.
