principal, up to $1,700,000 of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value
per share (“Common Stock”), from time to time during the term of this Agreement and on the terms set forth herein;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through the Manager such number of Shares
that (a) exceeds the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock registered on the Registration Statement, pursuant to which
the offering is being made, (b) exceeds the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or (c) would cause the Company
or the offering of the Shares to not satisfy the eligibility and transaction requirements for use of Form S-3, including, if applicable,
General Instruction I.B.6 of Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the lesser of (a), (b) and (c), the “Maximum Amount”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth
in this Section 2 on the number and aggregate sales price of Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility
of the Company and that the Manager shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance.

 

(a)              
Appointment of Manager as Selling Agent; Terms Agreement. For purposes of selling the Shares through the Manager,
the Company hereby appoints the Manager as exclusive agent of the Company for the purpose of selling the Shares of the Company
pursuant to this Agreement and the Manager agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on the terms and
subject to the conditions stated herein. The Company agrees that, whenever it determines to sell the Shares directly to the Manager
as principal, it will enter into a separate agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”) in substantially the form
of Annex I hereto, relating to such sale in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement.

 

(b)              
Agent Sales. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set
forth, the Company will issue and agrees to sell Shares from time to time through the Manager, acting as sales agent, and the Manager
agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as sales agent for the Company, on the following terms:

 

    5 

     

    

 

(i)               The
Shares are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Company and the Manager on any day that
(A) is a Trading Day, (B) the Company has instructed the Manager by telephone (confirmed promptly by
electronic mail) to make such sales (“Sales Notice”) and (C) the Company has satisfied its obligations
under Section 6 of this Agreement, provided that the deliverables required under Section 6(b) and Section 6(d) shall only be
required to be made on the Execution Time and on a Representation Date on which a material amendment to the Registration
Statement or Prospectus is made or the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K or a material amendment thereto under the
Exchange Act, unless the Manager reasonably requests the deliverables required under Section 6(b) and Section 6(d) in
connection with a Representation Date, upon which request such deliverables shall be deliverable hereunder. The Company will
designate the maximum amount of the Shares to be sold by the Manager daily (subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2(d)) and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on a particular day all of the Shares designated for the sale
by the Company on such day. The gross sales price of the Shares sold under this Section 2(b) shall be the market price
for shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Market at the time of sale of such Shares.

 

(ii)             
The Company acknowledges and agrees that (A) there can be no assurance that the Manager will be successful in selling
the Shares, (B) the Manager will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does
not sell the Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with
its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares as required under this Agreement,
and (C) the Manager shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except
as otherwise specifically agreed by the Manager and the Company pursuant to a Terms Agreement.

 

(iii)            
The Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and the Manager shall not be obligated to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to sell, any Share at a price lower than the minimum price therefor designated from time to time by the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”), or a duly authorized committee thereof, or such duly authorized officers of
the Company, and notified to the Manager in writing. The Company or the Manager may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone
(confirmed promptly by electronic mail), suspend the offering of the Shares for any reason and at any time; provided, however,
that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares
sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

 

(iv)            The
Manager may sell Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in
Rule 415 under the Act, including without limitation sales made directly on the Trading Market, on any other
existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. The Manager may also sell Shares in privately
negotiated transactions, provided that the Manager receives the Company’s prior written approval for any sales in
privately negotiated transactions and if so provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus
Supplement.

(v)            
The compensation to the Manager for sales of the Shares under this Section 2(b) shall be a placement fee of 3% of the gross
sales price of the Shares sold pursuant to this Section 2(b) (“Broker Fee”). The foregoing rate of compensation
shall not apply when the Manager acts as principal, in which case the Company may sell Shares to the Manager as principal at a
price agreed upon at the relevant Applicable Time pursuant to a Terms Agreement. The remaining proceeds, after deduction of the
Broker Fee and deduction of any transaction fees imposed by any clearing firm, execution broker, or governmental or self-regulatory
organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Shares (the “Net Proceeds”).

 

(vi)           
The Manager shall provide written confirmation (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) to the Company following the
close of trading on the Trading Market each day in which the Shares are sold under this Section 2(b) setting forth the number of
the Shares sold on such day, the aggregate gross sales proceeds and the Net Proceeds to the Company, and the compensation payable
by the Company to the Manager with respect to such sales.

 

(vii)           Unless
otherwise agreed between the Company and the Manager, settlement for sales of the Shares will occur on the second (2nd)
Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are
made (each, a “Settlement Date”). On or before the Trading Day prior to each Settlement Date, the
Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Shares being sold by crediting the
Manager’s or its designee’s account (provided the Manager shall have given the Company written notice of such
designee at least one Trading Day prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by
the parties hereto which Shares in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable
form. On each Settlement Date, the Manager will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated
by the Company on, or prior to, the Settlement Date. The Company agrees that, if the Company, or its transfer agent (if
applicable), defaults in its obligation to deliver duly authorized Shares on a Settlement Date, in addition to and in no way
limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 7 hereto, the Company will (i) hold the Manager harmless against any
loss, claim, damage, or reasonable, documented expense (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses), as
incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company, and (ii) pay to the Manager any commission,
discount or other compensation to which the Manager would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.

 

    7 

     

    

 

(viii)         
At each Applicable Time, Settlement Date, Representation Date and Filing Date, the Company shall be deemed to have affirmed
each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement as if such representation and warranty were made as of such date,
modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended as of such date. Any obligation of
the Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company shall be subject to the continuing
accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder
and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 6 of this Agreement.

 

(ix)            
The Company may establish a “10b5-1” plan for the Company with the Manager in connection with the sale of Shares
pursuant to this Agreement, provided that such plan shall be satisfactory in all respects to the Manager in its sole discretion.

 

(x)              
If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution
of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement,
scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution” and the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive the Distribution, the “Record Date”), the Company hereby covenants that,
in connection with any sales of Shares pursuant to a Sales Notice dated as of the Record Date, the Company shall issue and deliver
such Shares to the Manager on the Record Date and the Record Date shall be the Settlement Date and the Company shall cover any
additional costs of the Manager in connection with the delivery of Shares on the Record Date.

this Agreement (each, a “Placement”), the Company will notify the Manager of the proposed terms of such
Placement. If the Manager, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for
any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Company wishes to accept amended terms, the Manager and
the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement setting forth the terms of such Placement. The terms set forth in a Terms
Agreement will not be binding on the Company or the Manager unless and until the Company and the Manager have each executed
such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this
Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement will control. A Terms Agreement may also
specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Shares by the Manager. The commitment of the Manager to

Company for such Shares, any provisions relating to rights of, and default by, underwriters acting together with the Manager

assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, anti-dilution or similar
adjustments, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility,
debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company

security or instrument upon an issuance of securities by the Company or any Subsidiary. There are no outstanding securities

Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and
regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been

periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes
thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in
all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof
and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to

of the Company’s knowledge, any other party is in default thereunder and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge,
no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder.

instruments will not result in a violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any

its affiliates, except as specifically authorized herein. The Manager shall have no obligation with respect to any fees (or
any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees) of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company has not entered into any other sales agency
agreements or other similar arrangements with any agent or any other representative in respect of at the market offerings of

which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or
maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable
future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock is currently eligible
for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current
in payment of the fees of the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such
electronic transfer. The issuance and sale of the Shares as contemplated in this Agreement does not contravene the rules and regulations
of the Trading Market.

Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board have taken all necessary action, if any, in order
to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights
agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter
documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable as a result of the Manager and the Company
fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this Agreement.

Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares will not

value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s
existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do
not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its
capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with
the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses
of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid.
The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing
and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which
lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction
within one year from the date hereof. Except as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, the SEC Reports sets forth as of the date

and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental
assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations
and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes for periods

amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary
know of no basis for any such claim. The provisions for taxes payable, if any, shown on the financial statements filed with

any other securities of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Manager in connection
with the placement of the Shares.

 

4.               
Agreements. The Company agrees with the Manager that:

 

(a)              Right
to Review Amendments and Supplements to Registration Statement and Prospectus. During any period when the delivery of a
prospectus relating to the Shares is required (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to
Rule 172, 173 or any similar rule) to be delivered under the Act in connection with the offering or the sale of Shares,
the Company will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement (including any Prospectus Supplement) to
the Base Prospectus unless the Company has furnished to the Manager a copy for its review prior to filing and will not
file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Manager reasonably objects (provided, however, that the Company
will have no obligation to provide the Manager any advance copy of such filing or to provide the Manager an opportunity to
object to such filing if the filing does not name the Manager and does not relate to the transaction herein provided). The
Company has properly completed the Prospectus, in a form approved by the Manager, and filed such Prospectus, as amended at
the Execution Time, with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) by the Execution Time and
will cause any supplement to the Prospectus to be properly completed, in a form approved by the Manager, and will file such
supplement with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed
thereby and will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Manager of such timely filing. The Company will promptly
advise the Manager (i) when the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (ii) when, during any period when the delivery of a prospectus (whether
physically or through compliance with Rule 172, 173 or any similar rule) is required under the Act in connection with
the offering or sale of the Shares, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective
(other than any annual report of the Company filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act), (iii) of any
request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use
or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the
institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts
to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the
Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the
withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to
the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its commercially reasonable best efforts to have such
amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

 

    24

     

    

 

(b)             
Subsequent Events. If, at any time on or after an Applicable Time but prior to the related Settlement Date, any event
occurs as a result of which the Registration Statement or Prospectus would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made
or the circumstances then prevailing not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Manager so that any use of the
Registration Statement or Prospectus may cease until such are amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Registration
Statement or Prospectus to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to the Manager
in such quantities as the Manager may reasonably request.

 

(c)             
Notification of Subsequent Filings. During any period when the delivery of a prospectus relating to the Shares is
required (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172, 173 or any similar rule)
to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration
statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, including
in connection with use or delivery of the Prospectus, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Manager of any such event,
(ii) subject to Section 4(a), prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement or new registration statement
which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, (iii) use its commercially reasonable best efforts
to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable in
order to avoid any disruption in use of the Prospectus and (iv) supply any supplemented Prospectus to the Manager in such
quantities as the Manager may reasonably request.

 

    25

     

    

 

(d)             
Earnings Statements. As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and
to the Manager an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the Act and Rule 158. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s compliance with the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 4(d).

 

(e)             
[RESERVED]

 

(f)              
Qualification of Shares. The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Shares for sale under
the laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required
for the distribution of the Shares; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising
out of the offering or sale of the Shares, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

 

(g)             
Free Writing Prospectus. The Company agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior written consent
of the Manager, and the Manager agrees with the Company that, unless it has or shall have obtained, as the case may be, the prior
written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405)
required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433. Any such free writing prospectus
consented to by the Manager or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.”
The Company agrees that (i) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (ii) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164
and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending
and record keeping.

 

(h)            
Subsequent Equity Issuances. The Company shall not deliver any Sales Notice hereunder (and any Sales Notice previously
delivered shall not apply during such three Business Days) for at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the
Company or any Subsidiary offers, sells, issues, contracts to sell, contracts to issue or otherwise disposes of, directly or indirectly,
any other shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (other than the Shares), subject to Manager’s right to waive
this obligation, provided that, without compliance with the foregoing obligation, the Company may issue and sell Common Stock pursuant
to any employee equity plan, stock ownership plan or dividend reinvestment plan of the Company in effect at the Execution Time
and the Company may issue Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding at the
Execution Time.

 

    26

     

    

 

(i)              
Market Manipulation. Until the termination of this Agreement, the Company will not take, directly or indirectly,
any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange
Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation in violation of the Act, Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder of
the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or otherwise violate any provision of Regulation
M under the Exchange Act.

 

(j)              
Notification of Incorrect Certificate. The Company will, at any time during the term of this Agreement, as supplemented
from time to time, advise the Manager immediately after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information
or fact that would alter or affect any opinion, certificate, letter and other document provided to the Manager pursuant to Section 6
herein.

 

(k)             
Certification of Accuracy of Disclosure. Upon commencement of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement (and
upon the recommencement of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement following the termination of a suspension of sales hereunder
lasting more than 30 Trading Days), and each time that (i) the Registration Statement or Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented,
other than by means of Incorporated Documents, (ii) the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act, (iii)
the Company files its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act, (iv) the Company files a Current Report on Form 8-K
containing an amendment to financial statements previously filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act and incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, if the Manager reasonably determines that the information in such Form 8-K
is material, or (v) the Shares are delivered to the Manager as principal at the Time of Delivery pursuant to a Terms Agreement
(such commencement or recommencement date and each such date referred to in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, a “Representation
Date”), unless waived by the Manager, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Manager forthwith a certificate
dated and delivered on the Representation Date, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Manager to the effect that the statements
contained in the certificate referred to in Section 6 of this Agreement which were last furnished to the Manager are true and correct
at the Representation Date, as though made at and as of such date (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to such date) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate
of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in said Section 6, modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of delivery of such certificate.

 

    27

     

    

 

(l)               Bring
Down Opinions; Negative Assurance. At each Representation Date, unless waived by the Manager, the Company shall furnish
or cause to be furnished forthwith to the Manager and to counsel to the Manager a written opinion of counsel to the Company
(“Company Counsel”) addressed to the Manager and dated and delivered on such Representation Date, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, including a negative assurance representation. In lieu of
delivering such an opinion for Representation Dates subsequent to the commencement of the offering of the Shares under this
Agreement, such counsel may furnish the Manager with a letter to the effect that the Manager may rely on a prior opinion
delivered under Section 6(b) or this Section 4(l) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that
statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented as of such subsequent Representation Date). The requirement to furnish or cause to be furnished an opinion under
this Section 4(l) shall be waived for any Representation Date other than a Representation Date on which a material amendment
to the Registration Statement or Prospectus is made or the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K or a material
amendment thereto under the Exchange Act, unless the Manager reasonably requests the deliverables required this Section 4(l)
in connection with a Representation Date, upon which request such deliverable shall be deliverable hereunder.

 

(m)            
Auditor Bring Down “Comfort” Letter. At each Representation Date, unless waived by the Manager, the Company
shall cause (1) the Company Auditor, or other independent accountants satisfactory to the Manager, forthwith to furnish the
Manager a letter, and (2) the Chief Financial Officer of the Company forthwith to furnish the Manager a certificate, in each
case dated on such Representation Date, in form satisfactory to the Manager, of the same tenor as the letters and certificate referred
to in Section 6 of this Agreement but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented
to the date of such letters and certificate; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to cause the Company Auditor
to furnish such letters to the Manager in connection with the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K unless (i) such Current Report
on Form 8-K is filed at any time during which a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Act and
(ii) the Manager has requested such letter based upon the event or events reported in such Current Report on Form 8-K. The requirement
to furnish or cause to be furnished a “comfort” letter under this Section 4(m) shall be waived for any Representation
Date other than a Representation Date on which a material amendment to the Registration Statement or Prospectus is made or the
Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K or a material amendment thereto under the Exchange Act, unless the Manager reasonably
requests the deliverables required this Section 4(m) in connection with a Representation Date, upon which request such deliverable
shall be deliverable hereunder.

 

(n)              Due
Diligence Session. Upon commencement of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement (and upon the recommencement of
the offering of the Shares under this Agreement following the termination of a suspension of sales hereunder lasting more
than 30 Trading Days), and at each Representation Date, the Company will conduct a due diligence session, in form and
substance, reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, which shall include representatives of management and the Company Auditor
(or any successor thereto). The Company shall cooperate timely with any reasonable due diligence request from or review
conducted by the Manager or its agents from time to time in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including, without limitation, providing information and available documents and access to appropriate corporate officers and
the Company’s agents during regular business hours, and timely furnishing or causing to be furnished such certificates,
letters and opinions from the Company, its officers and its agents, as the Manager may reasonably request. The Company shall
reimburse the Manager for Manager’s counsel’s time in each such due diligence update session, up to a maximum of
$2,500 per update, plus any incidental expense incurred by the Manager in connection therewith.

to a Terms Agreement.

 

(p)              
Disclosure of Shares Sold. The Company will disclose in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports

the result of an offer to purchase solicited by the Manager the right to refuse to purchase and pay for such Shares.

 

(r)                Bring
Down of Representations and Warranties. Each acceptance by the Company of an offer to purchase the Shares hereunder, and
each execution and delivery by the Company of a Terms Agreement, shall be deemed to be an affirmation to the Manager that the
representations and warranties of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement are true and correct as of the
date of such acceptance or of such Terms Agreement as though made at and as of such date, and an undertaking that
such representations and warranties will be true and correct as of the Settlement Date for the Shares relating to such
acceptance or as of the Time of Delivery relating to such sale, as the case may be, as though made at and as of such date
(except that such representations and warranties shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
as amended and supplemented relating to such Shares).

provide for the issuance, free of any preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares of
Common Stock held in treasury, of the maximum aggregate number of Shares authorized for issuance by the Board pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be listed for trading on the
Trading Market and to maintain such listing.

 

(t)                
Obligation Under Exchange Act. During any period when the delivery of a prospectus relating to the Shares is required

within the time required by Rule 424.

 

(x)               Additional
Registration Statement. To the extent that the Registration Statement is not available for the sales of the Shares as
contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall file a new registration statement with respect to any additional shares of
Common Stock necessary to complete such sales of the Shares and shall cause such registration statement to become
effective as promptly as practicable. After the effectiveness of any such registration statement, all references to
 “Registration Statement” included in this Agreement shall be deemed to include such new registration
statement, including all documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3, and all references
to “Base Prospectus” included in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the final form of prospectus,
including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in any such registration statement at the time such

negative assurance statement, dated as of the date hereof and addressed to the Manager in form and substance acceptable to the

Manager to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been delivered by the Company or is pending; provided, however,
that, if the Company determines to sell Shares when the Company has relied on this waiver and did not provide the deliverable pursuant
to this Section 6(b), then the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the deliverable pursuant to this Section 6(b) prior
to any instruction from the Company to the Manager to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(c)            
Delivery of Officer’s Certificate. The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Manager
a certificate of the Company signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the President and the principal financial or accounting officer

Manager), dated as of the date hereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager, confirming that they are
independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and
regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and that they have performed a review of any unaudited interim financial
information of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and provide
customary “comfort” as to such review in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager, provided that the

expected to materially adversely affect the business, operations, prospects or financial condition or income of the Company, except
as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Incorporated Documents, the effect of which, in any case referred
to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Manager, so material and adverse as to make it impractical
or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Incorporated
Documents and the Prospectus.

specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and
certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Manager
and counsel for the Manager, this Agreement and all obligations of the Manager hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior
to, any Settlement Date or Time of Delivery, as applicable, by the Manager. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company
in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

 

The documents required
to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered to the office of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, counsel for the Manager,
at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, on each such date as provided in this Agreement.

and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the
Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such

originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus, any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or result from or relate to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for the legal
expenses of one counsel (plus local counsel) or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement
will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

 

    34

     

    

 

(b)             
Indemnification by Manager. The Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the
same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Manager, but only with reference to written information relating
to the Manager furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing
indemnity; provided, however, that in no case shall the Manager be responsible for any amount in excess of the Broker
Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Manager
may otherwise have.

 

(c)              Indemnification
Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any
action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the
indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to
the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of
substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to
any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The
indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying
party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the
indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel
to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ one separate counsel
(plus local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the documented and reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such
separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would
present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such
action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after
notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent
of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or
threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
(whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such
claim, action, suit or proceeding.

 

    35

     

    

 

(d)               Contribution.
In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7 is unavailable to
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Manager agree to contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and the Manager may be
subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and
by the Manager on the other from the offering of the Shares; provided, however, that in no case shall the
Manager be responsible for any amount in excess of the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder. If the
allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Manager
severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Manager on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall
be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits
received by the Manager shall be deemed to be equal to the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder as
determined by this Agreement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or
any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Manager on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the
Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls the Manager within the meaning of either the
Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Manager shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Manager, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the
Exchange Act, each officer of the Company and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

 

    36

of the Manager, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination and (ii) the provisions of Sections 5,
7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 14 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

 

(b)              
The Manager shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this
Agreement relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Shares in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination
shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 14
of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

 

(c)             
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of November 22, 2022, such date that this Agreement
is terminated pursuant to Sections 8(a) or (b) above, or all of the Shares covered by this Agreement have been sold,
or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties, provided that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed
to provide that Sections 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 14 shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(d)             
Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination, provided that
such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Manager or the
Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date or Time of Delivery for any sale of

    37

     

    

 

(e)

to such Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination, in the absolute discretion of the Manager, by prompt oral notice given
to the Company prior to the Time of Delivery relating to such Shares, if any, and confirmed promptly by facsimile or electronic
mail, if since the time of execution of the Terms Agreement and prior to such delivery and payment, (i) trading in the Common
Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the Trading Market or trading in securities generally on the Trading Market
shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium
shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or
escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect
of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Manager, impractical or inadvisable to proceed
with the offering or delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

 

9.             
Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and
other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Manager set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by the Manager or the Company or any of the officers, directors,
employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

 

10.

e-mailed or facsimiled to the addresses of the Company and the Manager, respectively, set forth on the signature page hereto.

Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective

12.            No

Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Manager and any
affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Manager is acting solely as sales agent and/or principal
in connection with the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities and not as a fiduciary of the Company and
(c) the Company’s engagement of the Manager in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the
offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely
responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether the Manager has advised or
is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Manager
has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in
connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

 

    38

     

    

 

13.           
Integration. This Agreement and any Terms Agreement supersede all prior agreements and understandings (whether written
or oral) between the Company and the Manager with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

14.

      agreement dated as of December 13, 2017 (the “Change in Control Agreement”), which is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2019;

    

    

    WHEREAS, the Bank and Mr. Herndon also
      previously entered into a Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement effective as of January 1, 2013 (the “SERP”), providing for certain supplemental retirement benefits;

    

    

    WHEREAS, Mr. Herndon has provided valuable services to the Bank for more than 55
      years and to the Company since its formation in 2005;

    

    

    WHEREAS, after careful and thoughtful deliberation by the Boards of Home Federal
      and Mr. Herndon, the parties hereto believe it is in their mutual best interest that Mr. Herndon retire from his different positions on the terms and at the times set forth herein; and

    (b) Mr. Herndon shall retire as Special Projects Manager of each of the Company and the Bank, effective as of March 31, 2020 (the “Separation Date”).

    (a) Director Fees. Mr. Herndon shall be entitled to receive his fee for serving as Chairman of the Board of the Company through December 31, 2019

        coverage for Mr. Herndon and his spouse though December 31, 2020.  In addition, the Bank agrees to continue to provide Mr. Herndon with long-term disability coverage, dental and life insurance coverage through the Separation Date on substantially
        the same terms as currently provided. Following December 31, 2020, Mr. Herndon may elect continued coverage at his expense pursuant to COBRA to the extent and for the then remaining amount of time it is permissible to maintain continued COBRA
        coverage.

    

    

    (d) Participation in Tax-Qualified Plans.  Mr. Herndon shall be entitled to continue to participate in the Bank’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan
        (the “ESOP”) and 401(k) Plan in accordance with the terms of such plans through the Separation Date. Mr. Herndon shall be entitled to receive his vested benefits under the ESOP and the Bank’s 401(k) Plan in accordance with the terms of such plans.

    

    

    (e) Automobile Expenses.  The Bank shall continue to pay through the Separation Date the automobile insurance premiums, gasoline and other
        related costs of operating the Bank-owned automobile provided to Mr. Herndon.

        Mr. Herndon.  Such title transfer shall occur no later than (10) business days following the Separation Date upon the payment of $1.00 by Mr. Herndon; provided, however, Mr. Herndon shall also be
        responsible for any titling or transfer fees or sales taxes incurred in connection with the transfer thereof.

    

    

    (g) Existing Stock Options and Share Awards.  The 34,107 vested stock options held by Mr. Herndon as of the Effective Date of this Agreement to
        purchase shares of common stock of the Company shall remain outstanding and exercisable in accordance with their terms. The options covering 1,600 shares of common stock of the Company and the 1,000 plan share awards which remain unvested as of the
        Effective Date will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of their grant so long as Mr. Herndon continues to serve as an employee or a director emeritus of the Bank.

     

      

     

      

    
      2

      

      

    

    

    

    

    

    (h) Other Employee Benefit Plans.  Mr. Herndon shall be entitled to participate in the other employee benefit plans or programs offered by the
        Company or the Bank through the Separation Date in accordance with the terms of such plans or programs. Following the Separation Date, Mr. Herndon shall no longer be entitled to participate in any of the employee benefit plans or programs offered
        by the Company or the Bank (except to the extent permitted by the terms of such plans), and no additional benefits shall accrue or vest on behalf of Mr. Herndon under such employee benefit plans or programs subsequent to the Separation Date, except
        as otherwise provided under the terms of such plans.

    (j) SERP Benefits.  Mr. Herndon shall be entitled to receive his vested benefits under the SERP in accordance with the terms of the SERP.  If the
        Separation Date occurs on March 31, 2020 due to Mr. Herndon’s retirement as expected, Mr. Herndon shall be entitled to receive his first annual supplemental retirement benefit under the SERP on October 1, 2020.  The parties hereto acknowledge and
        agree that because Mr. Herndon owns more than 5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, Mr. Herndon is deemed to be a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and is thus subject to the mandatory six-month delay
        provisions set forth in Section 2(b) of the SERP with respect to SERP benefits triggered by a separation from service.  In the event Mr. Herndon has a separation from service prior to March 31, 2020 or dies prior to such date, the timing of his
        SERP benefits shall be governed by the terms of the SERP.

    

    

    (k) Separation Payment. As consideration for the release of claims provided by Section 9 hereof and the release of claims set forth in Exhibit A
        hereto (the “Release”), as well as the covenants set forth in Section 6 hereof, the Bank shall pay Mr. Herndon an amount equal to $6,083 per month for the first three months of 2020 and $9,083 per month for the last nine months of 2020
        (collectively, the “Separation Payment”), with such amount to be (i) paid in accordance with the Bank’s normal payroll practices, (ii) subject to such deductions and withholding that the Bank determines are required by law, (iii) subject to the
        Release set forth in Section 9 hereof not being revoked by Mr. Herndon during the Revocation Period as defined in Section 9(f) hereof, (iv) further subject to the Release set forth in Exhibit A hereto being executed on or within 10 business days
        following the Separation Date and not being revoked by Mr. Herndon during the Revocation Period as defined in Section 2(f) of Exhibit A, and (v) further subject to Mr. Herndon’s employment as Special Projects Manager or
        service as Chairman Emeritus not being terminated for Cause as defined in Section 5(a) hereof.  In the event either (i) Mr. Herndon does not timely execute the Release set forth in Exhibit A hereto or revokes the release of claims set forth in
        either Section 9 hereof or Exhibit A hereto, or (ii) Mr. Herndon’s employment as Special Projects Manager or service as Chairman Emeritus is terminated for Cause as defined in Section 5(a) hereof, then Mr. Herndon shall not be entitled to receive
        any Separation Payments not yet paid and shall be required to return any Separation Payments previously paid. In the event (x) the Release is timely executed and is not revoked during the Revocation Period, (y) Mr. Herndon’s employment as Special
        Projects Manager or service as Chairman Emeritus is not terminated for Cause, and (z) Mr. Herndon dies before the Separation Payment has been fully paid, then all remaining installments of the Separation Payment which remain unpaid as of the date
        of Mr. Herndon’s death shall be paid to Mr. Herndon’s beneficiaries or estate at the same time and in the same amount as they would have been paid to Mr. Herndon.

    

    

    5. Termination.

    

    

    (a) Cause.  The Company and the Bank may terminate Mr. Herndon’s employment as Special Projects Manager or service as Chairman Emeritus for
        Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean removal of Mr. Herndon as Chairman Emeritus because of personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to
        perform stated

     

      

     

      

    
      3

      

      

    

    

    

    

    

    duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist
      order, willful conduct which is materially detrimental (monetarily or otherwise) to the Company and/or the Bank or material breach of any provision of this Agreement (including but not limited to the covenants set forth in Section 6 hereof).
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes hereof, a determination by regulatory authorities that Mr. Herndon has willfully violated any applicable law, rule or regulation or final cease-and-desist order shall constitute Cause.

    

    

    As of the date hereof, none of the parties to this Agreement is aware of facts that would constitute “Cause” as defined
      under this Agreement.

    

    

    (b) Notice of Termination.  Any termination by the Company and/or the Bank for Cause shall be communicated by a written Notice of Termination to
        the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 14 of this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon,
        (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for removal of Mr. Herndon as a director emeritus under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as
        defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice).  The failure by the Company and/or the Bank to set forth in the
        Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause shall not waive any right of the Company and/or the Bank hereunder or preclude the Company and/or the Bank from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing
        the Company’s or the Bank’s rights hereunder.

    

    

    (c) Date of Termination.  “Date of Termination” means if Mr. Herndon’s service as a director emeritus is terminated by the Company and/or the
        Bank for Cause, the date on which the Notice of Termination is given, or any later date specified therein within thirty (30) days of delivery of such notice, as the case may be.

    

    

    6. Covenants and Acknowledgements.

    

    

    (a) Non-disparagement.  Mr. Herndon agrees that he shall not make, or cause to be made, any disparaging or critical remarks, comments or
        statements about or against the Company,  the Bank or their respective affiliates or any director, officer, employee or customer of any such entities at any time in the future, except for any statements by him made pursuant to lawful subpoena or
        legal process. Nothing contained herein shall prevent any of the parties hereto from making any truthful statement in connection with any legal proceeding or investigation by the Company, the Bank or any governmental authority.

    

    

    (b) Confidentiality. Mr. Herndon hereby further covenants and agrees that at all times after the Effective Date, he shall not use for his or her
        personal benefit, or disclose, communicate or divulge to, or use for the direct or indirect benefit, of any person or entity other than the Company and the Bank, any confidential information regarding the business methods, business policies,
        procedures, techniques, research or development projects or results, trade secrets, or other knowledge or processes of or developed by the Company or the Bank or any names and addresses of customers or any data on or relating to past, present or
        prospective customers or any other information relating to or dealing with the business operations or activities of the Company or the Bank (including that which gives any such entity an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do
        not know or use it), made known to Mr. Herndon or learned or acquired by Mr. Herndon while an employee, director or service provider of the Company or the Bank; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) any such
        information which is in or comes into the public domain other than through the fault or negligence of Mr. Herndon, (ii) any disclosure ordered by a court of competent  jurisdiction or as otherwise required by law, or (iii) any disclosure in
        connection with any legal proceedings relating to the enforcement of any rights of Mr. Herndon under this

     

      

     

      

    
      4

      

      

    

    

    

    

    

    Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement limits Mr. Herndon’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment
      Opportunity Commission, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission that has
      jurisdiction over the Company or the Bank (the “Government Agencies”). Mr. Herndon further understands that this Agreement does not limit his ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or
      proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company or the Bank. In addition, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Mr. Herndon understands that an
      individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) 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 purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.  Further, an
      individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer's trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual (y)
      files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (z) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.  On the Separation Date, Mr. Herndon shall promptly deliver to the Company all copies of documents or other records
      (including without limitation electronic records) containing any confidential information that is in his possession or under his control, and shall retain no written or electronic record of any confidential information.

    

    

    (c) Injunctive Relief. Mr. Herndon agrees that damages at law will be an insufficient remedy to the Company and the Bank in the event that Mr.
        Herndon violates any of the provisions of subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 6, and that the Company or the Bank may apply for and, upon the requisite showing, be granted injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain the
        breach or threatened or attempted breach of or otherwise to specifically enforce any of the covenants contained in subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 6.  Mr. Herndon hereby consents to the right of the Company and the Bank to seek (i) any
        injunction (temporary or otherwise) and (ii) any other court order which may be issued against Mr. Herndon from violating, or directing Mr. Herndon to comply with, any of the covenants in subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 6.  Mr. Herndon also
        agrees that such remedies that may be obtained shall be in addition to any and all remedies, including damages, available to the Company or the Bank against Mr. Herndon for such breaches or threatened or attempted breaches.

    

    

    (d) Termination of Other Benefits. In addition to the rights of the Bank set forth in subsection (c) of this Section 6, in the event that Mr.
        Herndon shall violate the terms and conditions of subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 6, the Company, the Bank and their affiliates may terminate any payments or benefits of any type and regardless of source payable by the Company or the Bank,
        if applicable (including those set forth in Section 4 hereof), to Mr. Herndon, other than with respect to payments or benefits to Mr. Herndon under plans or arrangements that are covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
        amended (“ERISA”) or under the SERP.

    

    

    (e) Termination of the Change in Control Agreement. Mr. Herndon acknowledges and agrees that his Change in Control Agreement shall expire in
        accordance with its terms as of December 31, 2019 and shall thereafter be null and void.

    

    

    (f) Execution of Exhibit A.  Mr. Herndon agrees that he will not execute the release of claims set forth in Exhibit A hereto prior his Separation
        Date.  He acknowledges and agrees that in order to receive the Separation Payments set forth in Section 4(k) hereof, he must execute the release of claims set forth in Exhibit A hereto on or within 10 business days following the Separation Date,
        deliver such release to Home Federal and not revoke such release.

     

      

     

      

    
      5

      

      

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    7. Designation of Beneficiary.  Mr. Herndon may from time to time, by providing a written notification to the Company and/or the Bank, designate
        any person or persons (who may be designated concurrently, contingently or successively), his estate or any trust or trusts created by him to receive benefits which are provided under the terms of this Agreement.  Each beneficiary designation shall
        revoke all prior designations and will be effective only when filed in writing with the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Committee”).  If Mr. Herndon fails to designate a beneficiary or if a beneficiary dies before
        the date of Mr. Herndon’s death and no contingent beneficiary has been designated, then the benefits which are payable as aforesaid shall be paid to his estate.  If benefits commence to be paid to a beneficiary and such beneficiary dies before all
        benefits to which such beneficiary is entitled have been paid, the remaining benefits shall be paid to the successive beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by Mr. Herndon, if any, and if none to the estate of such beneficiary.

    

    

    8. Unsecured Promise.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or require the Company or the Bank to create a trust of any kind to fund
        the benefits provided hereunder.  Any insurance policy or other asset acquired or held by, or on behalf of, the Bank or funds allocated by the Bank in connection with the liabilities assumed by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement shall not be
        deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of Mr. Herndon or his beneficiaries or to be a security for the performance of the obligations of the Bank pursuant hereto but shall be and remain a general asset of the Bank.  To the extent that
        Mr. Herndon or any other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Bank hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Bank.

    

    

    9. Release of the Company and Related Parties.

    

    

    (a) In consideration of the payments and the benefits to be provided to Mr. Herndon pursuant to this Agreement, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged
        hereby, Mr. Herndon, with the intention of binding himself and his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, does hereby release, remise, acquit and forever discharge the Company, the Bank and each of their affiliates (the “Company Affiliated
        Group”), their present and former officers, directors, executives, agents, attorneys and employees, and the successors, predecessors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Released Parties”), of and from any and all
        claims, actions, causes of action, complaints, charges, demands, rights, damages, debts, sums of money, accounts, financial obligations, suits, expenses, attorneys’ fees and liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise,
        whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or otherwise and whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which Mr. Herndon, individually or as a member of a class, now has, owns or holds, or has at any time heretofore had, owned
        or held, against any Company Released Party in any capacity, including, without limitation, any and all claims (i) arising out of or in any way connected with Mr. Herndon’s service to any member of the Company Affiliated Group (or the predecessors
        thereof) through and including the Effective Date in any capacity, or the termination of such service in any such capacity, (ii) for breach of contract, wrongful discharge, impairment of economic opportunity, defamation, intentional infliction of
        emotional harm or other tort, (iii) for any violation of applicable state and local labor and employment laws (including, without limitation, the Louisiana Employment Discrimination Law and all other laws concerning
        unlawful and unfair labor and employment practices), (v) for employment discrimination under any applicable federal, state or local statute, provision, order or regulation, and including, without limitation, any claim under Title VII of the Civil
        Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”), the Civil Rights Act of 1988, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), ERISA, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the
        Family and Medical Leave Act and any similar or analogous state or local law or regulation, and (vi) under the Change in Control Agreement, excepting only:

    

    

    (A) the rights of Mr. Herndon as a shareholder of the Company, including his stock options as described in Section 4(g) hereof;

     

      

     

      

    
      6

      

      

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    (B) the right of Mr. Herndon to receive COBRA continuation coverage in accordance with applicable law;

    

    

    (C) rights to indemnification Mr. Herndon may have under (i) applicable corporate law, (ii) the articles of incorporation, charter or bylaws of
        any entities included in the Company Affiliated Group, (iii) any other agreement between Mr. Herndon and a Company Released Party, or (iv) as an insured under any director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy now or previously in force;

    

    

    (D) claims for vested benefits under any health, disability, retirement, life insurance or other similar “employee benefit plan” (within the
        meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) of the Company Affiliated Group existing as of the Effective Date (the “Company Benefit Plans”); and

    

    

    (E) the rights of Mr. Herndon under this Agreement.

    

    

    (b) Mr. Herndon acknowledges and agrees that the release of claims set forth in this Section 9 is not to be construed in any way as an admission of any
        liability whatsoever by any Company Released Party, with any such liability being expressly denied.

    

    

    (c) The release of claims set forth in this Section 9 applies to any relief no matter how called, including, without limitation, wages, back pay, front
        pay, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive damages, damages for pain or suffering, costs, and attorney’s fees and expenses.

    

    

    (d) Mr. Herndon specifically acknowledges that his acceptance of the terms of the release of claims set forth in this Section 9 is, among other things,
        a specific waiver of his rights, claims and causes of action under Title VII, the ADEA, the ADA and any state or local law or regulation in respect of discrimination of any kind.

    

    

    (e) Mr. Herndon covenants and agrees that neither he, nor any person or entity on his behalf, will file or cause or permit to be filed any civil action,
        suit, arbitration or legal proceeding seeking any type of personal relief, or share in any remedy against the Bank or any other Company Released Party, involving any matter which: (i) is the subject of this Agreement; (ii) arises from, or relates
        or refers in any way to, Mr. Herndon’s employment with or service to Home Federal, the Change in Control Agreement, or the action or inaction of any of the Company Released Parties through and including the Effective Date; or (iii) occurred at any
        time in the past up to and including the date of Mr. Herndon’s execution of this Agreement, or involves any continuing effects of any actions or practices which may have arisen or occurred on or prior to his execution of this Agreement; provided,
        however, that nothing in this Agreement prevents Mr. Herndon from (x) filing, cooperating with, or participating in any proceeding before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a state fair employment practices agency, except that he
        acknowledges that he shall not be able to recover any monetary benefits in connection with any such claim, charge or proceeding, or (y) initiating an action to enforce the terms of this Agreement or pursue claims pursuant to subsections (A)
        thorough (D) of Section 9(a).

    

    

    (f) Mr. Herndon shall have a period of 21 days to consider whether to execute this Agreement. To the extent Mr. Herndon has executed this Agreement
        within less than 21 days after its delivery to him, Mr. Herndon hereby acknowledges that his decision to execute this Agreement prior to the expiration of such 21-day period was entirely voluntary.  If Mr. Herndon accepts the terms hereof and
        executes this Agreement, he may thereafter, for a period of seven days following (and not including) the date of execution (the “Revocation Period”), revoke this Agreement. If Mr. Herndon determines to revoke this Agreement prior to the expiration
        of the Revocation Period, he shall provide a written notice to the Bank in accordance with Section 14 hereof prior to such expiration. If no such revocation occurs, this Agreement shall become

     

      

     

      

    
      7

      

      

    

    

    

    

    

    irrevocable in its entirety, and binding and enforceable against Mr. Herndon, on the day next following the day on which the foregoing
      Revocation Period has elapsed. Any revocation of this Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes a revocation of this Agreement in its entirety.

    

    

    (g) Mr. Herndon acknowledges and agrees that he has not, with respect to any transaction or state of facts existing prior to the date hereof, filed any
        complaints, charges or lawsuits against any Company Released Party with any governmental agency, court or tribunal.

    

    

    (h) Mr. Herndon acknowledges and agrees that he has been advised by the Company and the Bank to consult with independent legal counsel of his choosing
        in connection with his review of this Agreement prior to executing this Agreement, that he has done so or had the opportunity to do so, that he has read and had the terms of this Agreement explained to him, and that he has entered into this
        Agreement voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance, meaning and binding effect.  Mr. Herndon acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor the Bank nor their respective agents or representatives has made any promises,
        statements or representations, either oral or written, to Mr. Herndon or anyone else concerning the terms or effects of this Agreement other than those expressly contained herein.

    

    

    (h) In addition to any other remedy available to the Company or the Bank hereunder, in the event that, as a result of a challenge brought by Mr.
        Herndon, the release of claims set forth in Section 9 becomes null and void or is otherwise determined not to be enforceable, then the obligation of the Bank to make any additional payments or to provide any additional benefits under this Agreement
        shall immediately cease to be of any force and effect, and Mr. Herndon shall promptly return to the Bank any payments or benefits the provision of which by the Bank was conditioned on the enforceability of this Agreement.

    

    

    10. Cooperation.  Mr. Herndon agrees and covenants that he shall in good faith and to the best of his ability, to the extent reasonably
        requested, cooperate with and serve in any capacity requested by the Company or the Bank in any employment or business dispute, investigation, proceeding or pending or threatened litigation (together, “Litigation”) in which the Company, the Bank or
        any of their respective directors, officers or employees is a party, and regarding which Mr. Herndon, by virtue of his employment with the Company and the Bank, has knowledge or information.  Such cooperation and service in any such Litigation
        shall include, without limitation, acting on behalf of, or refraining from acting against the interest of, the Company, the Bank or any of their respective directors, officers or employees.  Mr. Herndon further agrees and covenants that, in any
        such Litigation, he shall, without the necessity for subpoena, provide in any jurisdiction in which the Company or the Bank reasonably requests, truthful testimony relevant to said Litigation.

    

    

    11. Full Settlement.  The obligations of the Company and/or the Bank to perform its respective obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any
        set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company and/or the Bank may have against Mr. Herndon or others.  In no event shall Mr. Herndon be obligated to seek other services or take any other action by way
        of mitigation of the amounts payable to him under any of the provisions of this Agreement.

    

    

    12. Representations and Warranties.  Each party hereto represents and warrants to each other that they have carefully read this Agreement and
        consulted with respect thereto, to the extent deemed appropriate, with their respective counsel and that each of them fully understands the content of this Agreement and its legal effect.  Each party hereto also represents and warrants that this
        Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such party which is enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

    

    

    13. Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Mr. Herndon and his assigns and upon the Company and
        the Bank and any successor to the Company or

    the Bank by merger or consolidation or any other change in form or any other person or firm or corporation to which all or substantially all
      of the assets and business of the Company and the Bank may be sold or otherwise transferred. Any successor to the Company or the Bank by merger, consolidation or other change in form shall expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Company or
      the Bank hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, and this Agreement shall continue in effect following any change in control of the Company and/or the Bank.  This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without
      the written consent of the other parties hereto.

    

    

    14. Notices.  Any communication to a party required or permitted under this Agreement, including any notice, direction, designation, consent,
        instruction, objection or waiver, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at such time as it is delivered personally, or five days after mailing if mailed, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt
        requested, addressed to such party at the address listed below or at such other address as one such party may by written notice specify to the other party or parties, as applicable:

            Attention: Corporate Secretary

          

    

    

    15. Arbitration.  Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement (other than relating to the enforcement of the
        provisions of Section 10) shall be settled exclusively by arbitration before a single arbitrator in Shreveport, Louisiana under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then
        in effect.  Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall be selected by the mutual agreement of the parties within ten (10) business days of the date when the
        parties shall first have the opportunity to select an arbitrator (the “Selection Period”); provided, however, that if the parties fail to agree upon an arbitrator by the expiration of the Selection Period, each party shall, within five (5) business
        days after the expiration of the Selection Period, select an arbitrator from the list of arbitrators provided by the AAA and the two arbitrators so selected by each party, acting independently, shall, as soon as practicable and within thirty (30)
        days of both being selected, agree upon the selection of the arbitrator to arbitrate the controversy or claim. Each party hereto waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and regulation any right it
          may have to a trial by jury with respect to any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
          by this Agreement.

    

    

    16. Withholding.  The Company and/or the Bank may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state, local or foreign
        taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

    17. Entire Agreement; Severability.

    

    

    (a) This Agreement incorporates the entire understanding between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, recites the sole consideration for
        the promises exchanged and supersedes any prior agreements between the Company and/or the Bank and Mr. Herndon with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Change in Control Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. 
        In reaching this Agreement, no party has relied upon any representation or promise except those set forth herein.

    

    

    (b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under all
        applicable laws and public policies, but that the unenforceability or the modification to conform with such laws or public policies of any provision hereof shall not render unenforceable or impair the remainder of the Agreement.  Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or
        unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.  If any
        provision of this Agreement is found to be too broad to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

    

    

    18. Amendment; Waiver.

    

    

    (a) This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each party hereto; provided, however, that
        notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Bank may amend in good faith any terms of this Agreement, including retroactively, in order to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

    (a) In consideration of the payments and the benefits to be provided to Mr. Herndon pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Herndon, with the

        action, complaints, charges, demands, rights, damages, debts, sums of money, accounts, financial obligations, suits, expenses, attorneys’ fees and liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether accrued, absolute,
        contingent, unliquidated or otherwise and whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which Mr. Herndon, individually or as a member of a class, now has, owns or holds, or has at any time heretofore had, owned or held, against any

        incentive payments, (iii) for breach of contract, wrongful discharge, impairment of economic opportunity, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional harm or other tort, (iv) for any violation of applicable state and local labor and employment

    (E) the rights of Mr. Herndon under the Separation Agreement.

    

    

    (b) Mr. Herndon acknowledges and agrees that the release of claims set forth in this Release is not to be construed in any way as an admission of any
        liability whatsoever by any Company Released Party, with any such liability being expressly denied.

    

    

    (c) The release of claims set forth in this Release applies to any relief no matter how called, including, without limitation, wages, back pay, front

    3. Mr. Herndon’s Acknowledgements and Covenants.

    

    

    (a) Mr. Herndon specifically acknowledges that his acceptance of the terms of the release of claims set forth in this Release is, among other things, a

    (b) Mr. Herndon covenants and agrees that neither he, nor any person or entity on his behalf, will file or cause or permit to be filed any civil action,

        or refers in any way to, Mr. Herndon’s employment with or service to Home Federal, the termination of that employment, the Change in Control Agreement, or the action or inaction of any of the Company Released Parties through and including the date
        of this Release; or (iii) occurred at any time in the past up to and including the date of Mr. Herndon’s execution of this Release, or involves any continuing effects of any actions or practices which may have arisen or occurred before, on or after
        his execution of the Separation Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement prevents Mr. Herndon from (x) filing, cooperating with, or participating in any proceeding before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a state
        fair employment practices agency, except that he acknowledges that he shall not be able to recover any monetary benefits in connection with any such claim, charge or proceeding, or (y) initiating an action to enforce the terms of this Agreement or

    (d) Mr. Herndon acknowledges and agrees that he has been advised by the Company and the Bank to consult with independent legal counsel of his choosing
        in connection with his review of this Release prior to executing this Release, that he has done so or had the opportunity to do so, that he has read and had the terms of this Release explained to him, and that he has entered into this Release
        voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance, meaning and binding effect.  Mr. Herndon acknowledges and agrees that

    
      A-2

      

      

    

    

    

    neither the Company nor the Bank nor their respective agents or representatives has made any promises, statements or representations, either
      oral or written, to Mr. Herndon or anyone else concerning the terms or effects of this Release other than those expressly contained herein.

    

    

    (e) In addition to any other remedy available to the Company or the Bank hereunder, Mr. Herndon acknowledges and agrees that if the release of claims
        set forth in this Release becomes null and void or is otherwise determined not to be enforceable, then the obligation of Home Federal to make any additional payments or to provide any additional benefits under this Release shall immediately cease
        to be of any force and effect, and Mr. Herndon shall promptly return to the Bank any payments or benefits the provision of which by Home Federal was conditioned on the enforceability of this Release.

    

    

    (f) Mr. Herndon acknowledges and agrees that he will not execute or date the Release set forth in this Exhibit A prior to his Separation Date (as

    (b) If Mr. Herndon accepts the terms hereof and executes this Release, he may thereafter, for a period of seven days following (and not including) the
        date of execution (the “Revocation Period”), revoke this Release. If Mr. Herndon determines to revoke this Release prior to the expiration of the Revocation Period, he shall provide a written notice to the Bank in accordance with Section 14 of the
        Separation Agreement prior to such expiration. If no such revocation occurs, this Release shall become irrevocable in its entirety, and binding and enforceable against Mr. Herndon, on the day next following the day on which the foregoing Revocation
        Period has elapsed. Any revocation of this Release shall be deemed for all purposes a revocation of this Release in its entirety.

      on the date set forth below.
