6.
Confidential Information: Nondisclosure Covenant.

 

6.1.
Confidential Information: As used herein the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all customer
and contract lists, records, financial data, trade secrets, business and marketing plans and studies, suppliers, investors, financing
sources, manuals for Executive and personnel policies, manufacturing and/or production manuals, computer programs and software,
strategic plans, formulas, manufacturing and production processes and techniques (including without limitation types of machinery

its business and which is not known by or readily available to the general public.

 

6.2
Nondisclosure Covenant: Executive acknowledges that, in the course of performing services for and on behalf of Company,
Executive has had and will continue to have access to Confidential Information. Executive hereby covenants and agrees to maintain
in strictest confidence all Confidential Information in trust for Company, its successors and assigns, and to disclose such information
only on a “need-to-know” basis in furtherance and for the benefit of the Company’s business. During the period
of Executive’s employment with Company and at any and all times following Executive’s termination of employment for
any reason, including without limitation Executive’s voluntary resignation or involuntary termination with or without cause,
Executive agrees to not misappropriate, utilize for any purpose other than for the direct benefit of the Company, or disclose

6.3
Return of Property: Upon Executive’s termination of his employment with Company for any reason, including
without limitation Executive’s voluntary resignation or involuntary termination with or without cause, Executive hereby
agrees to immediately return to Company’s possession all copies of any writings, computer discs or equipment, drawings or

jointly has conceived or reduced to practice, or will conceive or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or reduced to practice
during his employment with Company. All original works of authorship which are made by Executive (solely or jointly with others)
within the scope of Executive’s services hereunder and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,”

7.
Non-interference and Non-solicitation Covenants: In further reflection of the Company’s important interests
in its proprietary information and its trade, customer, vendor and Executive relationships, Executive agrees that, during the
24-month period following the termination of Executive’s employment with Company for any reason, including without limitation
Executive’s voluntary resignation or involuntary termination with or without cause, Executive will not directly or indirectly,
for or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, (a) interfere with any contractual or other business relationships

termination of employment, or (b) solicit or induce any Executive of Company to terminate his/her employment relationship with
Company.

 

8.
Compensation. During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the following compensation to Executive:

 

8.1
Annual Compensation. Executive shall be paid a base salary of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) payable
bi-weekly in 26-equal amounts. Executive’s position is a regular, fulltime position classified as “exempt” and
thus Executive is not eligible for overtime compensation.

 

8.2
Bonus: For each fiscal year of Executive’s employment hereunder, the Executive shall be eligible to receive
an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”). However, the decision
to provide any Annual Bonus and the amount and terms of any Annual Bonus shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Compensation
Committee of the Board and shall be subject to
the terms of the Company annual bonus plan under which it is granted. In addition in order to be eligible to receive an Annual
Bonus, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the last day of the applicable fiscal year that Annual Bonuses are paid.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, the Executive, shall be paid a minimum Annual Bonus equal to 3% of the GAAP operating
profit as reported in the Company’s annual report on Form 10K (less GAAP operating profit for Q1 2017); provided however
the Annual Bonus shall not be lower than the highest bonus paid to other members of the Company’s executive team (not including
sales commissions). 

 

8.3
Equity Awards. In consideration of the Executive entering into this Agreement, on the date hereof, the Company will
grant to Executive a restricted stock grant of 500,000 shares under the Sunworks, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
one third of which shall vest on the one year anniversary of the grant and the balance shall vest in twenty four equal installments.
All other terms and conditions of such award shall be governed by the
terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable award agreement.

 

8.3
Benefits. So long as Executive is employed by the Company, the Executive shall participate in employee benefit plans
provided by the Company to its employees serving in similar employment capacities, as determined from time to time by the board
of directors of the Company or any compensation committee of the board of directors, if any, and on terms at least as favorable
to Executive as are offered to such other Executives.

 

8.4
Compensation Review: At the end of the current fiscal year, Executive’s compensation package shall be subject
to review and adjustment.

expenses shall be paid by the Company in cash within a reasonable time after presentment by Executive of an itemized list of invoices
sufficiently describing such expenses. All compensation provided in Sections 8 of this Agreement shall be subject to customary
withholding tax and other employment taxes, to the extent required by law. Expense reimbursements will not be subject to withholding.

 

10.
Assignability of Benefits: Except to the extent that this provision may be contrary to law, no assignment, pledge,
collateralization or attachment of any of the benefits under this Agreement shall be valid or recognized by the Company. Except
as provided by law, payment provided for by this Agreement shall not be subject to seizure for payment of any debts or judgments
against the Executive, nor shall the Executive have any right to transfer, modify, anticipate or encumber any rights or benefits
hereunder.

 

11.
