		6.	Termination.  The Executive’s service under this Agreement may be terminated
by the Company with or without Cause, by the Executive with or without Good Reason or as a result of the Executive’s death or Disability.
 Upon termination of his employment, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company shall have no further obligation
to make or provide to the Executive, and the Executive shall have no further right to receive or obtain from the Company, any payments
or benefits. 



 


		a.	Termination for Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for “Cause” by reason
of any of the following: (i) formal admission by the Executive to (including a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to), or conviction
of a felony, or any criminal offence involving the Executive’s moral turpitude under any applicable law, (ii) gross negligence
or willful misconduct by the Executive in the performance of the Executive’s duties required by this Agreement; (iii) the commission
of any fraud, misappropriation or misconduct by the Executive that causes demonstrable material injury, monetarily or otherwise, to the
business of the Company, or (iv) material breach of this Agreement by the Executive.  Prior to a termination for Cause, the
Company shall provide written notice to the Executive of the reason or reasons for a potential Cause determination and provide the Executive
ten (10) days to cure the reason(s), if curable.  If cured, Cause shall no longer apply to the reason or reasons set forth in the
Company’s notice.  If the Executive is terminated for Cause, the Company shall pay to the Executive, in a lump sum, any base
salary that is earned by the Executive but unpaid as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, paid in accordance
with the Company’s payroll practices, but in no event later than ten (10) days following the Executive’s termination of employment.
 Following the Executive’s termination of employment for Cause, the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation
or any other benefits under this Agreement.



 


		b.	Termination without Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive’s Employment without Cause upon thirty (30)
days prior notice provided to the Executive. 



 


		c.	Resignation for Good Reason.  The Executive may terminate this Agreement with “Good Reason” which shall be
communicated by written notice of termination from the Executive to the Company (the “Notice of Termination”). The
Notice of Termination shall indicate the specific provision(s) of this Agreement relied upon in effecting the termination and a written
statement of the reason(s) for the termination. A Notice of Termination shall not be effective for a period of thirty (30) days after
receipt of such Notice of Termination by the Company so that the Company has an opportunity to cure the reason or reason set forth in
the Notice of Termination.  If cured, Good Reason shall no longer apply to the reason or reasons set forth in the Notice of Termination.
 “Good Reason” shall mean a material breach of this Agreement by the Company.



 


		d.	Resignation without Good Reason.  The Executive may resign without Good Reason upon 30 days prior notice provided to the
Company. Upon the Executive’s resignation without Good Reason, the Company shall pay to the Executive, in a lump sum, any base salary
that is earned by the Executive but unpaid as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, paid in accordance with
the Company’s payroll practices, but in no event later than ten (10) days following the Executive’s termination of employment.
 Following the Executive’s resignation of employment without Good Reason, the Executive shall have no further rights to any
compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.



 


		e.	Termination as a result of death or Disability. The Executive’s services shall terminate upon the Executive’s death
or Disability.  “Disability” shall mean, to the extent consistent with applicable federal and state law, the Executive’s
inability by reason of physical or mental illness to fulfill his obligations hereunder for ninety (90) consecutive days or for a
total of one hundred and eighty (180) days in any twelve (12) month period which, in the reasonable opinion of an independent
physician selected by the Company or its insurers and reasonably acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative,
renders the Executive unable to perform the essential functions of his job, even after reasonable accommodations are made by the Company.
The Company is not, however, required to make unreasonable accommodations for the Executive or accommodations that would create an undue
hardship on the Company

		f.	Severance Benefits upon Termination Without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason or death or Disability.  Upon the
Executive’s termination by the Company without Cause, by the Executive with Good Reason, or upon the death or Disability of the
Executive, the Executive shall be entitled to receive continued payment of the Executive’s monthly base salary for twelve (12) months
following such termination (the “Severance Period”).  The Company shall also pay an amount to the Executive equal
to the Company’s cost of providing such benefits to the Executive for the Severance Period as if the Executive’s employment
had not terminated subject to the Executive’s election for continuation coverage in accordance with the provisions of the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended (“COBRA Coverage”).  The payments described in this Section
6(f) shall not be paid or commence payment until the Company’s next regular payroll date occurring at least five (5) business days
following the Executive’s satisfaction of the Release Condition (as defined below), but shall be retroactive to the next business
day following the date of termination.  



 


		g.	Vesting of Options.  Subject to the Release Condition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the applicable
option grant agreement with respect to the Options, upon the Executive’s termination by the Company without Cause, by the Executive
with Good Reason, upon the death or Disability of the Executive, the Options shall become fully vested as to all shares then unvested.
 



 


		h.	Release Condition.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive acknowledges
and agrees that the payments and benefits set forth in Section 6(f) and 6(g) upon a termination of employment, are conditioned upon and
subject to the Executive’s execution of a general waiver and release of all claims, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
C, which release must be executed, delivered, and not revoked within sixty (60) days following such termination (the “Release
Condition”).  Payments and benefits under Sections 6(g) and 6(g) shall be made or provided or shall commence on the first
regular payroll date that is after the sixtieth (60th) day after termination of employment, provided that the Release Condition
is satisfied.



 


		7.	Confidential Information.



 


		a)	The Executive acknowledges that the Company continually develops Confidential Information, that the Executive may develop Confidential
Information for the Company, and that the Executive may learn of Confidential Information during the course of his employment.  The
Executive will comply with the policies and procedures of the Company for protecting Confidential Information applicable to its executives
generally and shall not disclose to any person or use, other than as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of his duties
and responsibilities to the Company, any Confidential Information obtained by the Executive incident to his employment or other association
with the Company.  The Executive understands that this restriction shall continue to apply after his employment terminates, regardless
of the reason for such termination.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and
all information of the Company that is not generally known by others with whom they compete or do business, or with whom any of them plans
to compete or do business, and any and all information, publicly known in whole or in part or not, which, if disclosed by the Company,
would assist in competition against them.  Confidential Information includes, without limitation, such information relating to (i) the
development, research, testing, manufacturing, marketing, and financial activities of the Company, (ii) the products of the Company,
(iii) the costs, sources of supply, financial performance, and strategic plans of the Company, (iv) the identity and special
needs of the customers of the Company, and (v) the people and organizations with whom the Company has business relationships and
those relationships.  Confidential Information also includes any information that the Company has received, or may receive hereafter,
belonging to customers or others with any understanding, express or implied, that the information would not be disclosed.  Confidential
Information shall not include any such information (i) is or becomes in the public domain without any breach by the Executive of
his obligations hereunder, (ii) has been or is later (after the Executive’ termination of  employment) lawfully acquired by
the Executive from sources that the Executive does not know, after reasonable inquiry, to be prohibited from making such disclosure by
a confidentiality obligation or other legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation owed to the Company, or (iii) is developed after the
termination of employment by the Executive or any of the Executive’s affiliates without violating Section 7 hereof.

		b)	All documents, records, tapes, and other media of every kind and description relating to the business, present or otherwise, of the
Company and any copies, in whole or in part, thereof (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by the Executive, shall
be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.  The Executive shall surrender to the Company at the time his employment terminates,
or at such earlier time or times as the Company may specify, all Documents then in the Executive’s possession or control.  The
Executive shall immediately return such Documents and other property to the Company upon the termination of his employment and, in any
event, at the Company’s request.  The Executive agrees further that any property situated on the premises of, and owned by,
the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets, or other work areas, is subject to inspection by the Company’s
personnel with advance written notice to the Executive.



 


		c)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:



 


		(1)	nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Executive from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to or otherwise
cooperating with or providing information requested by any governmental agency or entity, including, but not limited to, the Department
of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are
protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation.  The Executive does not need the prior authorization of
the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and is not required to notify the Company that he has made such reports or disclosures;
and



 


		(2)	the Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade
secret that is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney
and (B) solely for the purposes of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or is made in a complaint or other document
that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.  If the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting
a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose the Company’s trade secrets to his attorney and use the trade secret information
in the court proceeding if the Executive (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (y) does not disclose the trade
secret, except pursuant to court order.

		8.	Section 409A Compliance. The Parties intend for this Agreement either to satisfy the
requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or to be exempt from
the application of Code Section 409A, and this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning
of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), no payments hereunder that are “deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A shall
be made to the Executive prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Executive’s “separation from service”
(as defined in Code Section 409A) or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death.  Following any applicable six (6) month
delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest date permitted under Code Section 409A that is
also a business day.  For purposes of Code Section 409A, each of the payments that may be made hereunder is designated as a separate
payment.  For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to payments of any amounts that are considered to be “deferred compensation”
subject to Code Section 409A, references to “termination of employment” (and substantially similar phrases) shall be interpreted
and applied in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A.  To the extent that any reimbursements under
this Agreement are taxable to the Executive, any such reimbursement payment due to the Executive shall be paid to the Executive as promptly
as practicable consistent with Company practice following the Executive’s appropriate itemization and substantiation of expenses
incurred, and in all events on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related
expense was incurred.  The taxable reimbursements under this Agreement that could constitute “deferred compensation”
within the meaning of Code Section 409A are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and the amount of such benefits
and reimbursements that the Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits or reimbursements that
the Executive receives in any other taxable year.



 


		9.	Section 280G Best After-Tax. If any payment or benefit that Executive would receive
under this Agreement or otherwise, when combined with any other payment or benefit Executive receives that is contingent upon a change
in control of the Company (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning
of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the
Code (“Excise Tax”), then at the sole discretion of the Executive, such Payment shall be either (x) the full amount
of such Payment or (y) such lesser amount as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced
Amount”), whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employment taxes,
income taxes and the Excise Tax, that the Executive chooses which may result in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the
greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments
or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall
occur in a manner necessary to provide Executive with the greatest economic benefit. If more than one manner of reduction of payments
or benefits necessary to arrive at the Reduced Amount yields the greatest economic benefit, the payments and benefits shall be reduced
pro rata.

Executives”), and it is agreed and understood that any such communication by any Specified Executive (or by any executive at
the behest of a Specified Executive) shall be deemed to be a breach of this provision by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither
the Executive nor the Company shall be prohibited from making truthful statements in connection with any arbitration proceeding concerning
a dispute relating to this Agreement.
