Re:     Employment
Agreement

 

Dear Masoud:

 

Quanterix Corporation (the “Company”)
is pleased to offer you the full-time position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, reporting to the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”).

 

You
shall be elected to serve as a member of the Board, effective as of your start date hereunder. Should any Board membership term of yours
end or be scheduled to end while you are employed as President and Chief Executive Officer hereunder, the Company shall use its best efforts
to nominate you for re-election to the Board for any succeeding Board membership term commencing during your employment. As with
all Board members, your continuation as a director requires election as a director by the stockholders whenever directors are to be elected
by the stockholders. Your service as a Board member shall be without further compensation. Should your employment with the Company cease
for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, you shall immediately resign as a member of the Board and as a member of any committees
thereof, without any further action required by the Company.

 

While you render services to the Company, you will
not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity (whether full-time or part-time) including board service, unless
otherwise approved in writing by the Board, provided that you may engage in religious, charitable, or other community activities as long
as such services or activities do not interfere or conflict with your obligations to the Company.

 

Your start date will be April 25, 2022. We
are excited about the prospect of you serving in this role.

 

1.            Base
Salary: The Company will pay you a salary at an annual rate of $550,000.00, paid at a bi-weekly rate of $21,153.85, subject to
periodic review and adjustment upward, but not downward (except in the event of a salary reduction to all senior executive level employees
as described in Section 8(b)(ii) of Good Reason), at the discretion of the Company.

 

2.            Bonus:
You will be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus beginning with the Company’s 2022 performance year. Your annual bonus
target will be up to $550,000.00 (the “Target Bonus”). The actual amount earned will be subject to the achievement
of the metrics and goals established by the Company following consultation with you. The annual bonus will be subject to approval by and
adjustment at the discretion of the Company, and the terms of any applicable bonus plan or award. Your bonus for 2022 will be determined
based on your actual base salary earned during the year. The annual bonus shall be paid to you on the same schedule that bonuses are generally
paid to the Company’s senior executive level employees.

3.            Benefits:
You will be eligible to participate in the employee benefits and insurance programs generally made available to its full-time employees,
including medical insurance, dental insurance, 401K Plan and match, ESPP, Flexible Spending Account, term life insurance, and short and
long term disability insurance. Details of these benefits programs, including mandatory employee contributions, will be made available
to you when you start. You also will be eligible to receive paid vacation time. You will be eligible for up to 20 days of paid vacation
per year, which shall accrue on a prorated basis. Other provisions of the Company’s vacation policy are set forth in the policy
itself.

 

4.            Sign-On
Equity Award: You have received a sign-on equity award consisting of 50,703 restricted stock units (RSUs) in connection with
your original start date with the Company. Your sign-on equity award will continue to vest over a three-year period, with one-third vesting
on the first anniversary of your original start date with the Company. The remainder will vest ratably on a monthly basis over the next
two years. Your award will continue to be subject to the terms of our 2017 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan and
the Company’s form of award agreements.

 

5.            Long
Term Equity Incentive Award: You will be eligible to receive, in one or more grants, an annual equity award as part of the Company’s
long term equity incentive award cycle, which commenced in the first quarter of 2022, having a targeted aggregate grant date fair value
of up to $2,000,000, less the value of any award previously made to you as President in 2022 pursuant to such long term equity incentive
award cycle. The equity award will be priced on the later of the Effective Date of this Agreement or the date this Agreement was approved
by the Compensation Committee. The value of your award will be discretionary and will be subject to your achievement of the metrics and
goals established by the Company. Your equity grant will be subject to valuation methodologies and other terms and conditions applicable
to other similarly situated executives of the Company, and will be subject to Compensation Committee approval.

 

6.            Sign-On
Cash Payment: You have received a sign-on cash payment in the amount of $100,000.00, in connection with your original start date
with the Company. You will be required to repay 50% of your sign-on cash payment should you voluntarily terminate your employment with
the Company without Good Reason (as defined below) within one year of your original start date under your Employment Agreement dated
May 10, 2021.

 

7.            At-Will
Employment; Accrued Obligations: Your employment is “at will,” meaning you or the Company may terminate your employment
at any time for any or no reason. In the event of the termination of your employment for any reason, the Company shall pay you the “Accrued
Obligations,” defined as (1) your base salary through the date of termination; (2) an amount equal to the value of
your accrued unused vacation days; (3) the amount of any expenses properly incurred by you on behalf of the Company prior to any
such termination and not yet reimbursed; and (4) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, any other amounts or benefits required
to be paid or provided or which you have earned under any plan or agreement of or with the Company through the date of termination.

8.            Severance:
Without limiting the at-will nature of your employment relationship, if the Company terminates your employment without Cause, or if you
resign for Good Reason, the Company shall provide you with the following termination benefits (the “Termination Benefits”):

 

(a)            Salary
Continuation Payments. Continuation of your base salary for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of termination (the “Severance
Period”) at the salary rate then in effect.

 

(b)            Target
Bonus. An amount equal to your applicable annual target bonus for the year of termination, paid in one lump sum on the Company’s
next regularly-scheduled payroll date following the effective date of the separation agreement described below.

 

(c)            Acceleration
of Sign-On Equity Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable equity plan or the award agreement applicable
to your Sign-On Equity Award, any outstanding but unvested portion of your Sign-On Equity Award that would have vested during the Severance
Period had you remained employed during such time shall accelerate and become fully-vested and exercisable as of the later of (i) the
termination date, or (ii) the effective date of the separation agreement described below.

 

(d)            Health
Benefits Continuation. Continuation of group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. §
1161 et seq. (commonly known as “COBRA”), with the cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same
relative proportion by the Company and you as in effect on the date of termination until the earlier of (i) the end of the Severance
Period; or (ii) the date you become eligible for health benefits through another employer or otherwise become ineligible for COBRA
(“Health Benefits Continuation Payments”). Notwithstanding the above, (x) in the event that the Severance Period
extends beyond eighteen (18) months following your date of termination, or (y) if the Company otherwise determines in its sole discretion
that it cannot provide the foregoing Health Benefits Continuation Payments without potentially violating 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),
the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to you a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the Company’s portion of the monthly
COBRA premium (as described above) that you would be required to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect on the date of
your termination (which amount shall be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments shall be made on
the last day of each month regardless of whether COBRA continuation coverage remains available (i.e., in the event that the Severance
Period extends beyond eighteen (18) months following your date of termination) and shall end on the earlier of (1) the end of the
Severance Period, (2) the date you become eligible for health benefits through another employer or otherwise become ineligible for
COBRA; or (3) the last day of the twenty-fourth (24th) calendar month following your termination date.

If the Company
terminates your employment without Cause, or if you resign for Good Reason, and the effective date of such termination occurs within
the 90 day period immediately preceding or the twelve (12) month period immediately following a Change-in-Control (such period the “Change-in-Control
Period” and such termination a “Change-in-Control Termination”), then in addition to the Termination Benefits
set forth immediately above:

 

Equity
Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable equity plan or award agreement, all of your outstanding
but unvested equity awards shall accelerate and become fully-vested and exercisable as of the later of (A) the termination date,
or (B) the effective date of the separation agreement described below, or (C) as of the Change-in-Control.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, you shall
not be entitled to any Termination Benefits unless (a) within 60 days of your date of termination, you first (i) enter into,
do not revoke, and comply with the terms of a separation agreement in a form acceptable to the Company, which shall include a general
release in favor of the Company and related persons and entities, and other standard provisions regarding non-competition, confidentiality,
cooperation, non-disparagement and the like as may be included in the Company’s then current form of separation agreement (the
 “Release”); (ii) resign from any and all positions, including, without implication of limitation, as a director,
trustee, and officer, that you then hold with the Company and any affiliate of the Company; and (iii) return all Company property
and comply with any instructions related to deleting and purging duplicates of such Company property, and (b) you comply with the
terms of your Restrictive Covenants Agreements (as defined below), or any other similar agreements with the Company. The Salary Continuation
Payments shall commence within 60 days after the date of termination and shall be made on the Company’s regular payroll dates;
provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the Salary Continuation
Payments shall begin to be paid in the second calendar year. In the event you miss a regular payroll period between the date of termination
and the first Salary Continuation Payment, the first Salary Continuation Payment shall include a “catch up” payment.

 

For purposes of this Section:

 

“Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following
(and, if applicable, that the Company has complied with the Cause Process (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of a circumstance
subject to the Cause Process): (i) theft, fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of assets or property of the Company, or material
violation of your Restrictive Covenants Agreements; (ii) dishonesty, gross negligence, misconduct, gross neglect of duties, or breach
of fiduciary duty to the Company; (iii) violation of federal or state securities laws; (iv) breach of an employment, consulting
or other agreement with the Company; (v) the conviction of a felony, or any crime involving moral turpitude, including a plea of
guilty or nolo contendere; or (vi) continued, willful and deliberate non-performance by you of your duties hereunder (other than
by reason of your physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability).

“Cause Process” means that (1) the Board has
reasonably determined in good faith that a “Cause” condition has occurred; (2) the Board has notified you in writing
of the Board’s knowledge of the first occurrence of the Cause condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition;
(3) you are provided a period of 30 days following such notice (the “Cause Cure Period”) to remedy the condition;
(4) notwithstanding such efforts, the Board reasonably and in good faith determines at the end of the Cause Cure Period that the
Cause condition continues to exist; and (5) the Board terminates your employment within 30 days after the end of the Cause Cure
Period. If you cure the Cause condition during the Cause Cure Period, Cause shall be deemed not to have occurred. The Board shall not
be required to follow the Cause Process as to those conditions which it reasonably determines in good faith cannot be cured within the
Cause Cure Period. For the avoidance of doubt, you and the Company acknowledge and agree that clauses (i), (iii) and (v) cannot
be cured, and shall not be subject to the requirements of the Cause Process.

 

“Change-in-Control” means the occurrence of any
of the following events: (i) any “Person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s
then outstanding voting securities; (ii) a change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors occurring within
a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors”
will mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are elected, or nominated for
election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination
(but will not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating
to the election of directors to the Company); (iii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company, other than a merger
or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent
(either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or the parent of such corporation)
at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or
parent of such corporation, as the case may be, outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (iv) the consummation
of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

“Good Reason” means that you have complied with
the Good Reason Process following the occurrence of any of the following actions undertaken by the Company without your express prior
written consent: (i) the material diminution in your authority, duties and responsibilities or change in your reporting relationship
such that you no longer report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company or that you are reporting to someone other than the
Board of Directors; (ii) a material reduction in your base salary (with any reduction in excess of 10% being deemed material), provided,
however, that Good Reason shall not be deemed to have occurred in the event of a reduction in your base salary that is pursuant to a
salary reduction program affecting all of the similarly situated senior executive level employees of the Company and that does not adversely
affect you to a greater extent than such similarly situated employees; and (iii) a change in the geographic location at which you
must regularly report to work and perform services (either in person or remote) of more than thirty (30) miles, except for required travel
on the Company’s business; or (iv) a material breach by the Company of any of its obligations to you under its employment
agreements with you.

“Good Reason Process” means that (1) you have
reasonably determined in good faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (2) you have notified the Company in
writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition; (3) the Company
is provided with a period of 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”) to remedy the condition; (4) notwithstanding
such efforts, you reasonably and in good faith determine at the end of the Cure Period that the Good Reason condition continues to exist;
and (5) you terminate your employment within 30 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition
during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

 

9.            Section 280G:

 

(a)            If
any payment or benefit you would receive under this Agreement, when combined with any other payment or benefit you receive pursuant to
a Change-in-Control (for purposes of this Section, a “Payment”) would constitute a “parachute payment”
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and, but for
this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment
shall be either: (i) the full amount of such Payment; or (ii) such lesser amount (a “Reduced Payment”) as
would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the
applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis,
of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax.

 

(b)            With
respect to Section 9(a), if there is more than one method of reducing the Reduced Payment amount that would result in no portion
of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, then the Payment shall be reduced or eliminated in the following order: (i) cash
payments; (ii) taxable benefits; (iii) nontaxable benefits; and (iv) accelerated vesting of equity awards in a manner
that maximizes the amount to be received by you.

 

(c)            The
determination of whether Section 9(a)(i) or (ii) applies, and the calculation of the amount of the Reduced Payment if
applicable, shall be performed by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Company (the “Accounting
Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and you within fifteen (15)
business days of the receipt of notice from you that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company, in
a form that can be relied upon for tax filing purposes. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.

(d)            You
may receive a Payment that is, in the aggregate, either more or less than the amount described in Section 9(a)(i) or (ii) (as
applicable, an “Overpayment” or “Underpayment”). If it is finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment, or the Internal Revenue Service, or by the Accounting Firm upon request by
either the Company or you, that an Overpayment or Underpayment has been made, then: (i) in the event of an Overpayment, you shall
promptly repay the Overpayment to the Company, together with interest on the Overpayment at the applicable federal rate from the date
of your receipt of such Overpayment until the date of such repayment; and (ii) in the event of an Underpayment, the Company shall
promptly pay an amount equal to the Underpayment to you, together with interest on such amount at the applicable federal rate from the
date such amount would have been paid to you had the provisions of Section 9(a)(ii) not been applied until the date of payment.

 

10.            Section 409A:
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of your separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code, the Company determines that you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of
the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that you become entitled to under this Agreement on account of your separation from
service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of
the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six
months and one day after your separation from service, or (B) your death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable
on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during
the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with
their original schedule. All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided
by the Company or incurred by you during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively
practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which
the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect
the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement
or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. To the extent that any payment or benefit described
in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent
that such payment or benefit is payable upon your termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon
your “separation from service.” The Company and you intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A
of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code,
the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. It is intended
that each installment of the severance payments and benefits provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate “payment”
for purposes of Section 409A. Neither the Company nor you shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments
or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A. The Company makes no representation or warranty
and shall have no liability to you or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation
subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

11.            No
Guarantee of Tax Consequences: The Company makes no guarantee of any tax consequences with respect to any payment hereunder,
including, without limitation, under Section 409A of the Code.

 

12.            No
Mitigation: In no event, except as set forth expressly in this or another agreement signed by you, shall you be obligated to
seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to you under any of the provisions of this
Agreement and, subject to the aforesaid exception, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not you obtain other employment.

 

13.            Return
of Company Property: Upon termination of employment for any reason, you shall promptly return to the Company any keys, credit
cards, passes, confidential documents or material, computer equipment, or other property belonging to the Company, and you shall also
return all writings, files, records, correspondence, notebooks, notes and other documents and things (including any copies thereof) containing
proprietary information or relating to the business or proposed business of the Company or its affiliated entities or containing any
trade secrets relating to the Company or its affiliated entities. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “trade secrets”
shall have the meaning ascribed to it under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. You agree to represent in writing to the Company upon termination
of employment that you have complied with the foregoing provisions of this Section.

 

14.            Assistance
with Claims: You agree that, consistent with the scheduling demands of your business and personal affairs, during and after your
employment by the Company, you will assist the Company and its affiliated entities in the defense of any claims, or potential claims
that may be made or are threatened to be made against any of them in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (a “Proceeding”), and will assist the Company and its affiliated entities in the prosecution of any
claims that may be made by the Company or its affiliated entities in any Proceeding, to the extent that such claims may relate to your
employment or the period of your employment by the Company. The Company agrees to reimburse you for your reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
associated with such assistance, including travel expenses. Any such reimbursement shall be paid by the Company within no later than
thirty (30) days of the date on which you provide documentation to the Company that such expenses were incurred. In the event that the
Company requires your extensive assistance outside of the one year period following the conclusion of your services to the Company as
an employee, consultant or Board member, the parties will enter into an agreement to compensate you for your time incurred in fulfilling
your obligations under this paragraph, other than time related to testifying as a fact witness in any proceeding (including, but
not limited to, related activities preliminary and postliminary thereto).

 

15.            Representation
Regarding Other Obligations: This offer is conditioned on your representation that you are not subject to any confidentiality,
non-competition agreement or any other similar type of restriction that may affect your ability to devote full time and attention to
your work at the Company. If you have entered into any agreement that may restrict your activities on behalf of the Company, please provide
me with a copy of the agreement as soon as possible.

16.            Restrictive
Covenants: As an express condition of your employment as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and in consideration
of the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement, including but not limited to the base salary in Section 3, the bonus
compensation in Section 4 and the grant of equity in Section 5, you will be required to sign the Employee Non-Competition Agreement,
and the Employee Confidentiality, Assignment and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants Agreements”).
Copies of the Restrictive Covenants Agreements will be provided to you concomitantly herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Company elects to enforce a non-competition provision for which post-employment payments are required under applicable law (“Non-Competition
Payment”), the Company may apply the amount of any Non-Competition Payment to the Termination Benefits.

 

17.            Other
Terms: Your employment with the Company shall be on an at-will basis. In other words, you or the Company may terminate employment
for any reason and at any time, with or without notice. In addition, as with all employees, our offer to you is contingent on your submission

Re:     Amended
and Restated Employment Agreement

 

Dear Kevin:

 

This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
(the “Agreement”) is entered into between you and Quanterix Corporation (the “Company”),
and is effective on April 25, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). Except as specifically set forth herein, this
Agreement fully replaces and supersedes the Employment Agreement between you and the Company entered into on January 1, 2015 (the
 “Original Employment Agreement”).

 

1.            Position.
As of the Effective Date, you will resign as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and execute the attached written resignation
document memorializing same, and will remain employed by the Company, serving as the Company’s Executive Chairman (which shall include
the roles and responsibilities of the Chairman of the Board). As the Company’s Executive Chairman, you will report directly to the
lead director (currently, Dr. Martin Madaus) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and
you will be responsible for providing the Company with strategic advice and services upon reasonable request by the Chief Executive Officer
(“CEO”) and/or the Board. As Executive Chairman, you will maintain your current office and other reasonable
support services and devices. During and after the Term, your continuing Board membership will remain subject to the rules and requirements
of the Company’s charter and by-laws, applicable law (including any rules or regulations of any exchange on which the common
stock of the Company is listed), and any rules or requirements of the Board and/or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
of the Board. While you render services to the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity
(whether full-time or part-time) including board service, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Board, provided that: (i) you
may continue to perform services for the following entities at the same level and commitment as prior to the Effective Date: Arsenal Capital
Partners, DA32 Life Science Tech Acquisition Corp., 908 Devices, the Massachusetts Biotech Council, the Center for Biomedical Engineering
at Brown University, the Association for Laboratory Automation, the Strategy Committee of Children’s Hospital Boston, and Powering
Precision Health (“the Authorized Activities”); and (ii) you may engage in religious, charitable, or other
community activities as long as such services or activities do not interfere or conflict with your obligations to the Company. If your
Board membership is involuntarily terminated without Cause (as defined herein), and other than due to your failure to be re-elected by
a vote of the Company’s stockholders, you will continue to vest in your equity grants, subject to applicable terms and conditions,
including but not limited to those described in Section 5.

 

2.            Effective
Date; Term. Your engagement as Executive Chairman will begin on the Effective Date and continue
until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2022; or (ii) the date that it is terminated in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8 (the “Term”).

 

    1

     

    

 

3.            Salary.
Commencing on the Effective Date, the Company will pay you a salary at the rate of $400,000.00 per year, payable in accordance with the
Company’s standard payroll schedule and subject to applicable deductions and withholdings.

 

4.            Bonus
Compensation. For calendar year 2021, you will remain eligible to receive a bonus in connection
with your services as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) based on your target incentive compensation under the Original Employment
Agreement as previously determined by the Compensation Committee, provided you remain employed by the Company on the day such bonus is
paid. For calendar year 2022, you will be considered for a bonus target of 100% of your base salary earned during the year. The amount
of any bonus actually awarded will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, based on its assessment of your performance
and that of the Company against goals established by the Compensation Committee, provided you remain employed by the Company on December 31,
2022. Any annual bonus, if earned, will be paid no later than March 15 of the calendar year after the year to which it relates. If
you are terminated without Cause or due to your death or Disability or you resign for Good Reason within three (3) months prior to
the end of the year in which the bonus relates, you will be paid a pro-rated portion of your bonus at target no later than March 15
of the calendar year after the year to which the bonus relates; provided that you (or your beneficiary or estate, as applicable)
execute and do not revoke the Release described in Section 8 of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability”
will occur when the Company determines that you have become physically or mentally incapable of performing the essential functions of
your job duties under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation, for ninety (90) consecutive days or one hundred twenty
(120) nonconsecutive days in any twelve (12) month period.

 

5.            Incentive
Compensation. You will be eligible to receive an annual equity grant as part of the Company’s
next long term equity incentive award cycle, which the Company expects to commence Q1 of 2022. The Company will target your grant date
fair value of your annual equity award of $1,400,000.00, and the equity award will be priced on the later of the Effective Date of this
Agreement or the date this Agreement was approved by the Compensation Committee. The value of your award will be subject to your achievement
of the metrics and goals established by the Company. Your equity grant will be subject to valuation methodologies and other terms and
conditions applicable to other similarly situated executives of the Company, and will be subject to Compensation Committee approval. Without
limiting the foregoing, your equity grant will be conditioned upon your signing and complying with the Additional Covenants Agreement
described in Section 9 below, and will continue to vest in accordance with its vesting schedule regardless of whether you are still
employed by, or providing services to, the Company.

 

6.            Equity.
Subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 1 and 5 herein, as applicable, each of your equity grants outstanding as of the Effective
Date (including, as applicable, any annual equity grants for which you remain eligible under a previous Company equity incentive award
cycle) will continue to vest following the Effective Date, for so long as you continue to provide services to the Company or any Affiliate
as an employee or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate and/or as a member of the Board, subject to the terms of the applicable equity
award agreement and equity plan. Except as otherwise described in this Section 6, you shall receive the same Sale Event equity acceleration
/ treatment as formally approved for other members of the executive management team, and if a Sale Event is consummated at any time prior
to December 31, 2023, and (i) you are terminated without Cause or for Good Reason as Executive Chairman on or prior to December 31,
2023, (ii) you are not retained by the Company as Executive Chairman immediately following December 31, 2022, or (iii) you
are not re-nominated by the Company for re-election as a Director on or prior to December 31, 2023, then all of your unvested equity
grants shall immediately vest.

 

    2

     

    

 

7.            Benefits/Vacation.
You will be eligible to participate in the employee benefits and insurance programs generally made available to its full-time employees.
Details of these benefits programs, including mandatory employee contributions, and, if applicable, waiting periods, are available to
you. You will be entitled to earn up to five (5) weeks of vacation per year, in addition to holidays observed by the Company, and
may carry over unused vacation into the next year to the extent permissible by the Company’s policies.

 

8.            At-will
Employment, Accrued Obligations; Severance. Your employment is “at will,” meaning
you or the Company may terminate it at any time for any or no reason, provided that your employment hereunder automatically will
conclude on December 31, 2022 unless it is sooner terminated by the Company or you pursuant to this Section 8. In the event
of the termination of your employment for any reason, the Company will pay you the Accrued Obligations, defined as (1) your base
salary through the date of termination, (2) an amount equal to the value of your accrued unused vacation days, and (3) the amount
of any expenses properly incurred by you on behalf of the Company prior to any such termination and not yet reimbursed. In addition, in
the event the Company terminates your employment without Cause or you resign for Good Reason (both as defined below) during the Term,
the Company will provide you with the following termination benefits (the “Termination Benefits”):

 

		(i)	continuation of your base salary through the remainder of the Term, or a period of six (6) months after the date of termination,
whichever is greater, at the salary rate then in effect (“Salary Continuation Payments”) (solely for purposes
of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, each Salary Continuation Payment is considered a separate payment);

 

		(ii)	continuation of group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq. (commonly
known as “COBRA”), with the cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same relative proportion
by the Company and you as in effect on the date of termination through the remainder of the Term, or for a period of six (6) months
after the date of termination, whichever is later, provided that such continuation will cease on the date you become eligible for health
benefits through another employer or otherwise become ineligible for COBRA (“Health Benefits Continuation Payments”).
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing Health Benefits Continuation
Payments without potentially violating 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), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to you a taxable monthly
payment in an amount equal to the Company’s portion of the monthly COBRA premium (as described above) that you would be required
to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect on the date of your termination (which amount will be based on the premium for
the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments will be made on the last day of each month regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation
coverage and will end on the earlier of (y) the date upon which you obtain other employment or (z) the last day of the sixth
(6th) calendar month following your termination date; and

 

    3

     

    

 

		(iii)	If the date of termination occurs within the twelve month period immediately following a Sale Event (such a termination a “Sale
Event Termination”), your Salary Continuation Payments and Health Benefits Continuation Payments will continue for a period
of twelve (12) months after the date of termination.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, you will not be entitled to any Termination Benefits unless you first (A) enter into, do not revoke, and comply with the
terms of a separation agreement in a form acceptable to the Company which will include a general release against the Company and related
persons and entities (the “Release”); (B) resign from any and all positions, including, without implication
of limitation, as a director, trustee, and officer, that you then hold with the Company and any affiliate of the Company; (C) comply
with the terms of your PIIA and your Additional Covenants Agreement (each as defined in Section 9 below); and (D) return all
Company property and comply with any instructions related to deleting and purging duplicates of such Company property. The Salary Continuation
Payments will commence within 60 days after the date of termination and will be made on the Company’s regular payroll dates; provided,
however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the Salary Continuation Payments
will begin to be paid in the second calendar year. In the event you miss a regular payroll period between the date of termination and
first Salary Continuation Payment, the first Salary Continuation Payment will include a “catch up” payment.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, Section 8 of this
Agreement will not apply to the conclusion of your employment if the Term ends on December 31, 2022 in accordance with Section 2(i) of
this Agreement. Except as otherwise described herein, if your employment ends pursuant to Section 2(i) on December 31,
2022, then you will be entitled to the Accrued Obligations and will not be entitled to any severance pay or benefits under this Agreement
or otherwise.

 

9.            Confidential
Information and Restricted Activities. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the terms of the
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, Confidentiality and Assignment Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2015, by and between you and
the Company (the “PIIA”) remains in full force and effect. In addition, in consideration of the payments and
benefits provided under this Agreement, including but not limited to the grant of equity in Section 5 above, you agree to enter into
the additional Employee Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement provided to you in connection herewith (the “Additional
Covenants Agreement”). The parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the PIIA and the Additional Covenants Agreement
are not in conflict, may apply concurrently in timing or scope, and will apply in addition to (and not in lieu of) each other. The parties
further acknowledge and agree that the PIIA and Additional Covenants Agreement do not apply to the Authorized Activities, and that the
definitions/descriptions of competing and prohibited solicitation within Section 7 of the PIIA shall be modified to be consistent
with the definition of Competing and the description of Prohibited Solicitation in the Additional Covenants Agreement (excluding the descriptions
of the restricted periods, which shall remain unmodified).

of assets or property of the Company; (ii) dishonesty, gross negligence, misconduct, neglect of duties, or breach of fiduciary duty
to the Company; (iii) violation of federal or state securities laws; (iv) breach of an employment, consulting or other agreement

than 30 days following such notice (the “Cause Cure Period”), to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding
such efforts, the Board reasonably and in good faith determines at the end of the Cause Cure Period that the Cause condition continues
to exist; and (v) the Board terminates your employment within 60 days after the end of the Cause Cure Period. If you cure the Cause
condition during the Cause Cure Period, Cause will be deemed not to have occurred. The Board will not be required to follow the Cause
Process as to those conditions which it reasonably determines in good faith cannot be cured within the 60 day period. For the avoidance
of doubt, you and the Company acknowledge and agree that clauses (i), (iii) and (v) cannot be cured.

 

“Good Reason” means that you have complied
with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following actions
undertaken by the Company without your express prior written consent: (i) the material diminution in your responsibilities, authority
and function; (ii) a material reduction in your base salary, provided, however, that Good Reason will not be deemed
to have occurred in the event of a reduction in your base salary that is pursuant to a salary reduction program affecting substantially
all of the executive level employees of the Company and that does not adversely affect you to a greater extent than other similarly situated
employees; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which you must regularly report to work and perform services, except
for required travel on the Company’s business (and in connection therewith the Company acknowledges that you will spend a significant
amount of time working from the Company’s office in Billerica Massachusetts, but that you may work from Hopkinton, Massachusetts
or Marco Island, Florida from time to time); or (iv) a material breach by the Company of any of its obligations to you under its
agreements with you. “Good Reason Process” means that (i) you have reasonably determined in good faith
that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (ii) you have notified the Company in writing of the first
occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition; (iii) you have cooperated in good
faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period’’),
to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist; and (v) you terminate
your employment within 60 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period,
Good Reason will be deemed not to have occurred.

in the Company).

 

11.            Consent
to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. You hereby give your express written consent to
this Agreement which amends, restates and supersedes the Original Employment Agreement. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that (i) none
of the terms hereof will serve as the basis of a “Good Reason” trigger as defined in this Agreement or the Original Employment
Agreement, and therefore you will not be eligible to resign for Good Reason as a result of any terms, or in connection with the negotiation,
execution and delivery, of this Agreement; and (ii) your role as Executive Chairman may change from time to time, and such changes
will not constitute “Good Reason” as defined in this Agreement or the Original Employment Agreement unless they are made without
your consent and constitute a material diminution in your responsibilities, authority or duties, in the aggregate, as Executive Chairman.

 

12.            Section 280G.

 

		(i)	If any payment or benefit you would receive under this Agreement, when combined with any other payment or benefit you receive pursuant
to a Sale Event (for purposes of this Section, a “Payment”) would constitute a “parachute payment”
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and, but for
this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment
shall be either: (a) the full amount of such Payment; or (b) such lesser amount (a “Reduced Payment”) as
would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the
applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis,
of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax.

 

    6

     

    

 

		(ii)	With respect to Section 12(i), if there is more than one method of reducing the Reduced Payment amount that would result in no
portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, then the Payment shall be reduced or eliminated in the following order: (a) cash
payments; (b) taxable benefits; (c) nontaxable benefits; and (d) accelerated vesting of equity awards in a manner that
maximizes the amount to be received by you.

 

		(iii)	The determination of whether Section 12(i)(a) or (b) applies, and the calculation of the amount of the Reduced Payment
if applicable, shall be performed by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Company (the
 “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and you
within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from you that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested
by the Company, in a form that can be relied upon for tax filing purposes. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne
solely by the Company.

 

		(iv)	You may receive a Payment that is, in the aggregate, either more or less than the amount described in Section 12(i)(a) or
(b) (as applicable, an “Overpayment” or “Underpayment”). If it is finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment, or the Internal Revenue Service, or by the Accounting Firm upon
request by either the Company or you, that an Overpayment or Underpayment has been made, then: (a) in the event of an Overpayment,
you shall promptly repay the Overpayment to the Company, together with interest on the Overpayment at the applicable federal rate from
the date of your receipt of such Overpayment until the date of such repayment; and (b) in the event of an Underpayment, the Company
shall promptly pay an amount equal to the Underpayment to you, together with interest on such amount at the applicable federal rate from
the date such amount would have been paid to you had the provisions of Section 12(i)(b) not been applied until the date of payment.

 

    7

     

    

 

13.            Section 409A.
All forms of compensation referred to in this Agreement are subject to reduction to reflect applicable withholding and payroll taxes and
other deductions required by law. You hereby acknowledge that the Company does not have a duty to design its compensation policies in
a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities, and you will not make any claim against the Company or its board of directors related to
tax liabilities arising from your compensation. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of your separation
from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that you are a “specified employee”
within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that you becomes entitled
to under this Agreement on account of your separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent
additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of
the Code, such payment will not be payable and such benefit will not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months
and one day after your separation from service, or (B) your death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment
basis, the first payment will include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period
but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments will be payable in accordance with their original schedule.
All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement will be provided by the Company or incurred
by you during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements will be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but
in no event will any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was
incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year will not affect the in-kind benefits
to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is
not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes
 “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit
is payable upon your termination of employment, then such payments or benefits will be payable only upon your “separation from service.”
The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred will be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). The Company and you intend that this Employment Agreement will be administered in accordance
with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A
of the Code, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The
Company makes no representation or warranty and will have no liability to you or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement
are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the
conditions of, such Section.

 

14.            Interpretation,
Amendment and Enforcement. This Agreement and any agreements concerning your rights to defense
and indemnification constitute the complete agreement between you and the Company, contain all of the terms of your employment with the
Company and supersede any prior agreements, representations or understandings (whether written, oral or implied) between you and the Company.
This Agreement may not be modified or amended, and no breach will be deemed to be waived, unless agreed to in writing by you and a duly
authorized officer or board member of the Company. The terms of this Agreement and the resolution of any disputes as to the meaning, effect,
performance or validity of this Agreement or arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with, this Agreement, your employment
with the Company or any other relationship between you and the Company (the “Disputes”) will be governed by
Massachusetts law, excluding laws relating to conflicts or choice of law. You and the Company submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction
of the federal and state courts located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in connection with any Dispute or any claim related to any
Dispute, and the prevailing party shall be awarded its attorneys’ fees and costs.

 

15.            Assignment.
Neither you nor the Company may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest in it, by operation of law or otherwise, without
the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that the Company may assign its rights and obligations under
this Agreement without your consent to one of its Affiliates or to any Person with whom the Company will hereafter effect a reorganization,
consolidate with, or merge into or to whom it transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets. This Agreement will inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon you and the Company, and each of our respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and
permitted assigns.

16.            Miscellaneous.
The headings and captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and in no way define or describe the scope or content of any provision
of this Agreement. The words “include” “includes” and “including”
when used herein will be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” This Agreement may be executed
in two or more counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
This is a Massachusetts contract and will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
