 (b) Subject to the control of the CEO and the Board, Employee hereby agrees to perform such services,
duties and responsibilities as are set forth in the job description for Company’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Relationships and as are customary for similar positions of a company of similar size engaged in a similar business as Company,
and such other services, duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to Employee by the CEO or the Board from time to time. Employee further agrees that throughout Employee’s employment with Company, Employee shall (i) faithfully render
such services, duties and responsibilities; (ii) devote Employee’s entire business time, good faith, best efforts, ability, skill and attention to the Business and the promotion of the interests of Company; and (iii) follow and act in
accordance with all rules, policies and procedures of Company, including, but not limited to, working hours and such other rules, policies and procedures as may be established by Company from time to time. Employee shall report to the CEO or any
other executive designated by the Board from time to time. Employee agrees that during the term (as hereinafter defined “Term”) of the Agreement, he will not pursue any other business interests without the prior written approval of the
Company. 
 2. Term. The term (the “Term”) of Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall commence as of
March 1, 2009 and shall continue for a period of three (3) years thereafter, unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 13 below. Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue for additional, successive one (1) year terms, unless
sooner terminated pursuant to Section 13 below. 
 3. Salary, Benefits and Other Compensation. As compensation for
the services and duties to be rendered and performed by Employee hereunder, Company shall pay to Employee the compensation and other benefits set forth below. All compensation received by Employee shall be subject to all applicable federal, state
and local withholding taxes and such other employment taxes as are required with respect thereto. 
 (a) Base Salary. Company
shall pay to Employee an annual base salary (“Base Salary”) in the amount of Two Hundred Ten Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($210,000.00), less required tax and related withholdings. Employee’s Base Salary shall be payable in
installments in accordance with the regular payroll practices of Company for salaried personnel. The Board may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, increase Employee’s Base Salary from time to time or at any time during the Term of
this Agreement. 
 (b) Benefits. During the Term the Employee and, to the extent eligible, his dependents, shall be entitled to
participate in and receive all benefits under any welfare benefit plans and programs provided by the Company, business travel insurance plans and programs applicable generally to the employees of the Company, retirement plans and programs applicable
generally to the employees of the Company, subject, however, to generally applicable eligibility and other provisions of the various plans and programs in effect from time to time. In addition, during the Term the Employee shall be entitled to

basis. The vehicle make, model and accessories are chosen by the Company and the employee’s option as to the vehicle they would like to drive is forfeited. In consideration of the Employee’s forfeiting his right to drive his vehicle of
choice and Employee’s effort to assist the Company in controlling its travel costs, at any time during the Term, should the Company provide a Company vehicle and the Employee be required or elect to drive the Company vehicle, the Company shall
pay to Employee an automobile allowance (the “Automobile Allowance”) based on an annualized amount of Six Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($6,000.00), less required tax and related withholdings. The Automobile Allowance shall be payable
in installments in accordance with the regular payroll practices of Company for salaried personnel. The Board may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, increase the Automobile Allowance from time to time or at any time during the Term of

Employee from complying with such order; provided that Employee shall not seek or assist in seeking such an order. Upon learning that such an order is or has been sought, and in any event before complying with such an order, Employee shall provide
immediate written advance notice to and consult with Company and its counsel.

inducement to Company to enter into this Agreement and to pay to Employee compensation and other benefits stated herein, Employee covenants and agrees that
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time during the period of Employee’s employment, disclose any Confidential Information (defined below in Section 8(c)) to any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity, except as

or geographical limitation.

the right to disclose, without obligation of confidentiality. If any Confidential Information becomes publicly known or readily accessible through a breach of this Agreement, then for purposes of this Agreement, such Confidential Information shall
continue to be treated as Confidential Information, notwithstanding such disclosure. 
 9. Covenants Against Competition.

 (a) Employee acknowledges and agrees that through his employment with Company, Employee has or will receive, become familiar with, and have
access to valuable Confidential Information concerning Company’s business, operations and affairs, all of which are and shall continue to be the property of Company. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the services he is to render to

to Employee the compensation and other benefits stated herein, Employee covenants and agrees that during the period of Employee’s employment with Company, and for a period of twelve (12) months after termination of Employee’s
employment with Company for any reason, whether voluntary or otherwise, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: 
 (i)
Compete with Company by engaging in any Competitive Business similar to that of Company (other than as a passive investor owning less than a 5% equity interest in a public entity) and working in a management or operations capacity or in a capacity

or attempting to divert from Company the business of such Existing Customer; 
 (ii) Solicit, influence, contact or deal in
any way with any Prospective Customer (as defined in Section 9(c) below) of Company for the purpose of (1) providing services or products to such Prospective Customer that are competitive with or similar to the services or products
provided by Company or the Business; (2) providing services or products to such Prospective Customer that are competitive with or similar to future services or products provided or being considered by Company; or (3) diverting or

 (iv) Consult, solicit, hire, attempt to hire, or encourage any former employee of Company
who, at the time of the termination of Employee’s employment, has been away from Company for less than six (6) months, to accept employment with any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity that competes, directly or indirectly,
with Company or the Business or for the sale or provision of services or products of the same kind or nature as those offered for sale by Company.

consummates or completes a business transaction with Company. 
 10. Reasonableness of Restrictions. Employee represents and
warrants that he has carefully read and considered the provisions of Sections 8 (Nondisclosure of Confidential Information) and 9 (Covenants Against Competition) above, and, having done so, agrees that such restrictions (including, but not limited
to, any time periods and/or geographical areas of restriction) are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of Company and its officers, directors, shareholders and other employees. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event any of the provisions of Sections 8 (Nondisclosure of Confidential Information) or 9 (Covenants Against Competition) above shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included herein. In the event any of the provisions of Sections 8 (Nondisclosure of Confidential
Information) or 9 (Covenants Against Competition) above relating to the time periods, geographic areas and/or related aspects of the restrictions set forth therein shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum
restrictiveness such court deems reasonable and enforceable, the time periods, geographical areas or other aspects thereof deemed reasonable and enforceable by such court shall become and thereafter be the maximum restriction in such regard, and the
restrictions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent deemed reasonable by such court. 
 11. Inventions and
Non-Disclosure. 
 (a) Company shall have the sole and exclusive right, title and interest in and to all “Innovations,”
which, for the purposes hereof, shall mean all innovations, discoveries, ideas, information, inventions, methods, processes, products, techniques, designs, devices, technology, derivative works, works of authorship, and improvements thereto and
physical manifestations thereof (whether or not patentable, protected by copyright, suitable for adoption as trademark or otherwise) that are acquired, conceived, created, developed, or reduced to practice in whole or in part by Employee (either
alone or with others) during the course of his employment with Company (including Employee’s employment, if any, by Company or any predecessor entity prior to the date hereof) that (i) relate in any way to the Business, or (ii) result
in any way from the performance by Employee of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. Employee shall promptly and fully disclose all Innovations to Company in writing. Except to the extent expressly authorized by Company, Employee shall treat
all Innovations as Confidential Information. 
 (b) Employee agrees to assign and hereby assigns to Company (and/or its designee) all of the
Employee’s right, title and interest in and to any and all Innovations. Any and all assignments under this Section 11(b) shall be self-executing. Employee shall,

at the request of Company and without additional compensation, take such further actions (including, without limitation, the provision of assistance in
preparing and prosecuting all applications, registration forms, and other documents relating to the acquisition or maintenance of copyrights, trademarks, service marks, and/or patents in the United States or other countries, and the provision of
such other assistance as may be requested by Company in connection with any legal proceedings involving Innovations) and execute and deliver such other and further instruments (including, without limitation, applications, registration forms, and
other documents relating to the acquisition or maintenance of copyrights, trademarks, service marks, and/or patents in the United States or other countries) as Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to secure, perfect, and maintain
Company’s (and/or its designee’s) sole and exclusive right, title, and interest in and to any and all Innovations. 
 12.
Remedies for Breach. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the services Employee has or will render to Company are extraordinary and unique and that, accordingly, the injury Company would suffer in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by Employee of this Agreement would be irreparable injury, not adequately compensated by monetary damages alone. Employee therefore agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened or intended breach of this Agreement by Employee, in
addition to any other remedies at law or equity available to Company (which in no way are hereby limited), Company shall be entitled to injunctions, both temporary and permanent, enjoining and restraining such breach or threatened or intended
breach, and Employee hereby consents to the issuance thereof by any court of competent jurisdiction without bond. Company may further assert such claims as it might have against Employee for actual, incidental, consequential, punitive and other
damages resulting from the breach of this Agreement. If Company prevails in whole or in part in any such action, Employee shall be liable to Company for all reasonable costs, expert witness fees, and attorney’s fees that Company incurs in
connection with seeking such legal or equitable relief. 
 13. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Termination because of Death or Disability. This Agreement and Employee’s employment with Company will terminate for the following
reasons and as described below: 
 (i) In the event the Employee shall be evaluated by a physician selected by the Employee
and a physician selected by the Company as being permanently and totally disabled and unable to perform the essential functions of his duties hereunder by virtue of illness or physical or mental incapacity or disability (from any cause or causes
whatsoever) in substantially the manner and to the extent performed prior to the commencement of such disability (all such causes being referred to as “disability’) and the Employee shall fail to perform such duties for periods aggregating
ninety (90) days (inclusive of non-business days), whether or not continuous, in any continuous period of one hundred and eighty (180) days, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Employee’s employment hereunder as at the
end of any calendar month during the continuance of such disability upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to him. Nothing contained herein is intended to nullify or diminish the Employee’s rights under, and this paragraph
13(a)(i) is subject to, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, as such Acts may be amended from time to time. 
 (ii) The employment of the Employee with the Company shall terminate on the date of the Employee’s death.

 (ii) a more than de minimus decrease in the value to Employee of Employee’s

 (iii) relocation of Employee’s principal workplace to a location

required to cure such breach. 
 For purposes of the definition of “Good Reason,” any isolated, insubstantial, and
inadvertent action not taken in bad faith which is remedied by Company promptly after receipt of written notice thereof from Employee shall not be deemed to be a “Good Reason.” 
 (c) Termination by Company for Cause. This Agreement and Employee’s employment with Company may be terminated by Company at any time
for Cause (as hereinafter defined). As used in this Section 13(c), the term “Cause” shall mean:

crimes”), provided that the reputation and good will of the Company are materially and negatively affected by such criminal act; provided, however, that the employment and compensation of Employee may be suspended until a final
judgment is rendered in Employee’s favor (and such suspension shall not be deemed a termination of employment for the purpose of this Agreement unless and until a judgment is rendered against Employee or Employee enters a plea of guilty or
nolo contendre), at which time Employee shall be reinstated in full and shall be paid all suspended compensation normally payable during such suspension period; 
 (iii) Employee’s gross negligence or gross dereliction of duty in the performance of his or her obligations under this Agreement,
except those obligations set forth in Section 8 (Nondisclosure of Confidential Information), Section 9 (Covenants Against Competition), or Section 14 (Contractual Obligations to Former Employers), which continues after written notice
from Employer and a thirty (30) day period to cure, provided however, that if the violation is one which by its nature is incapable of being cured, written notice of the violation to the Employee will establish “Cause”
under this definition;
