NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Corporation and the Executive
do hereby agree as follows:

 

1.
Employment and Duties. On the terms and subject to the job conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Corporation shall
employ the Executive as an executive officer of the corporation and such of its Subsidiaries as it believes appropriate and to
perform such duties as are consistent with such position as may be assigned, from time to time, by the Chief Executive Officer
of the Corporation and to render such additional services and discharge such other responsibilities as the Corporation or designated
Subsidiary may, from time to time, stipulate, including without limitation serving as president and Chief Executive Officer. The
costs of salary, expenses, options, benefits and bonus related to all work performed for a Subsidiary shall be allocated to that
Subsidiary.

 

2.
Performance. The Executive accepts the employment described in Paragraph 1 of this Agreement and agrees to devote
all of his business time and efforts to the faithful and diligent performance of the services described therein, including the
performance of such other services and responsibilities as the Corporation may, from time to time, stipulate.

 

3.
Term. The term (“Term”) of employment under this Agreement shall commence on December 4, 2019 (the “Commencement
Date”) and shall continue until the third anniversary date following the Commencement Date and shall be automatically
renewable for successive one year periods, unless terminated as provided herein. The Term of employment shall terminate:

 

a.
after three years from the Commencement Date, if either Party gives more than sixty days prior written notice to the other Party
that it wishes to terminate this Agreement; and

 

    	 	1	 

    	 

    

 

b.
immediately upon receipt of written notice for Just Cause or Good Reason.

 

For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Just Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following
events: (i) the breach by the Executive of his covenants under this Agreement; (ii) the Executive’s refusal to perform,
or his substantial neglect of, the duties assigned to the Executive pursuant to Paragraph 1 hereof; (iii) the commission
by the Executive of theft or embezzlement of Corporation property or other acts of dishonesty; (iv) the commission by the Executive
of a crime resulting in injury to the business, property or reputation of the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation
or commission of other significant activities harmful to the business or reputation of the Corporation or any affiliate of the
Corporation; (v) any significant violation of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Corporation; (vi) Executive’s
neglect of his duties hereunder or his failure to devote the time and attention to the Corporation’s business required herein;
or (vii) Executive’s intentional violation of Corporation’s rules, regulations, procedures or other policies.

 

For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following
events: (i) the Corporation’s material breach of this Agreement; or (ii) a material change in Executive’s compensation
and/or responsibilities unless such change is agreed to in advance by Executive.

 

On

and regardless of which Party effects the termination, the Executive shall return to the Corporation all Proprietary Information
(as defined hereinafter), and any other property belonging to the Corporation.

 

If
the Corporation terminates Executive’s employment without Just Cause or Executive terminates employment with Good Reason,
Executive shall be entitled to accrued but unpaid salary and benefits through the date of termination and shall receive a severance
payment equal to one-month’s current salary for each full year of employment, with a minimum severance payment of three
(3) months and a maximum of six (6) months’ pay; provided however, that Executive’s receipt of any severance payment
shall be contingent on Executive signing a separate agreement releasing all claims against the Corporation arising out of Executive’s
employment. If Executive is terminated for Just Cause or resigns without Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled only to salary
and benefits accrued but unpaid through the date of termination and shall receive no amount for severance.

if the Corporation terminates Executive’s employment without Just Cause, or Executive resigns for Good Reason. The number
of shares vested shall be adjusted in the event of subsequent stock splits.

 

d.
If Executive fails to give Corporation 90 days notice of termination without Good Reason, he shall forfeit all unvested Stock
Grant shares.

7.
Confidentiality of Information; Duty of Non-Disclosure.

 

c.
The Executive acknowledges and agrees that his employment by the Corporation under this Agreement necessarily involves his understanding
of and access to certain trade secrets and confidential information pertaining to the business of the Corporation. Accordingly,
the Executive agrees that at all times after the date of this Agreement he will not, directly or indirectly, without the express
permission of the Corporation, disclose to or use for the benefit of any person, corporation or other entity, or for himself any
and all files, trade secrets or other confidential information concerning the internal affairs of the Corporation, including,
but not limited to, information pertaining to its clients, services, products, earnings, finances, manufacturing, operations,
suppliers, including without limitation its overseas network of suppliers and other relations, methods, distribution system or
other activities (“Proprietary Information”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to information
which is of public record or is generally known, disclosed or available to the general public or the industry generally. Further,
the Executive agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, remove or retain, without the express prior written consent of
the Corporation, and upon termination of this Agreement for any reason shall return to the Corporation, any figures, calculations,
letters, papers, records, computer disks, computer print-outs, lists, documents, instruments, drawings, designs, programs, brochures,
sales literature, or any copies thereof, or any information or instruments derived therefrom, or any other similar information
of any type or description, however such information might be obtained or recorded, arising out of or in any way relating to the
business of the Corporation or obtained as a result of his employment by the Corporation. The Executive acknowledges that all
of the foregoing are proprietary information, and are the exclusive property of the Corporation. The covenants contained in this
Paragraph 7 shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment or this Agreement.

 

8.
Covenant Not to Compete.

 

a.
During Employment Period. During the period when the Executive is employed by the Corporation (the “Employment
Period”), the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, engage in any other business
activity for gain, profit, or other pecuniary advantage (excepting the investment of funds in such form or manner as will not
require any services on the part of the Executive in the operation of the affairs of the companies in which such investments are
made) or engage in or in any manner be connected or concerned, directly or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, stockholder,
partner, owner, Executive, creditor, or otherwise, with the operation, management, or conduct of any business that competes with
or is of a nature similar to that of the Corporation.

 

    	 	4	 

    	 

    

 

b.
Following Employment Period.

 

	 	(i)	For
    the purposes of this sub-section, the term “Involved Subsidiary” shall include: (1) any subsidiary of the Corporation
    with which Executive was actually employed; (2) any subsidiary of the Corporation for which Executive served on the Board
    of Directors; and (3) any subsidiary of the Corporation that possesses confidential information or has customers to which
    Executive had direct access during his employment.
	 	 	 
	 	(ii)	Within the twelve
    (12) month period immediately following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Corporation, regardless
    of the reason therefore, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, interfere with, or
    divert any customer served by any Involved Subsidiary, or any prospective customer identified by or on behalf of any Involved
    Subsidiary, or any supplier to any Involved Subsidiary who was a supplier or prospective supplier during the Executive’s
    employment with the Corporation, wherever located.
	 	 	 
	 	(iii)	In addition, during
    the twelve (12) month period immediately following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Corporation,
    regardless of the reason therefore, the Executive shall not engage in or in any manner be connected or concerned, directly
    or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, owner, executive, creditor, or otherwise, with the operation,
    management, or conduct of any business that competes with the Corporation or its subsidiaries without the prior written approval
    of the Corporation.
	 	 	 
	 	(iv)	In addition, during
    the twelve (12) month period immediately following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Corporation,
    regardless of the reason therefore, the Executive shall not engage in or in any manner be connected or concerned with any
    business activity, either as an employee, owner, consultant or any other activity involving a product or technology that Executive
    had initiated, or actively participated in while employed by the Corporation.
	 	 	 
	 	(v)	Executive has the
    right to seek alternative employment if the Company reduces Executives compensation as it is detailed in this Agreement.

 

The
covenants contained in this Paragraph 8 shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement.

 

    	 	5	 

    	 

    

 

9.
Severability. The Executive agrees and acknowledges that the Corporation does not have any adequate remedy at law for the
breach or threatened breach by the Executive of the covenants contained in Paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Agreement, and agrees
that the Corporation shall be entitled to injunctive relief to bar the Executive from such breach or threatened breach in addition
to any other remedies which may be available to the Corporation at law or in equity. The covenants of the Executive contained
in Paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall each be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this
Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Executive against the Corporation, whether predicated on this
Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Corporation of such covenants. If any part of
any covenant or other term of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be overly broad thereby making the covenant unenforceable,
the parties hereto agree, and it is their desire, that the court shall substitute a judicially enforceable limitation in its place,
and that as so modified the covenant shall be binding upon the parties as if originally set forth herein.

 

10.
Inventions, Designs, and Secrecy. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10 , the Executive: (a) shall hold
in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Corporation all secret or confidential information, knowledge, or data of the Corporation
or its business or production operations obtained by the Executive during his employment by the Corporation, which shall not be
generally known to the public or recognized as standard practice (whether or not developed by the Executive) and shall not, during
his employment by the Corporation and after the termination of such employment for any reason, communicate or divulge any such
information, knowledge or data to any person, firm or corporation other than the Corporation or persons, firms or corporations
designated by the Corporation; (b) shall promptly disclose to the Corporation all designs, inventions, software programs, ideas,
devices, and processes made or conceived by him alone or jointly with others, from the time of entering the Corporation’s
employ until such employment is terminated, relevant or pertinent in any way, whether directly or indirectly, to the Corporation’s
business or production operations or resulting from or suggested by any work which he may have done for the Corporation or at
its request; (c) shall, at all times during employment with the Corporation, assist the Corporation in every proper way (entirely
at the Corporation’s expense) to obtain and develop for the Corporation’s benefit patents or copyrights on such designs,
software programs, inventions, ideas, devices and processes, whether or not patented, trademarked, or copyrighted; and (d) shall
do all such acts and execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be necessary or desirable in the opinion of
the Corporation to vest in the Corporation the entire interest in such designs, inventions, ideas, devices, and processes referred
to above. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Executive shall not be required to assign or offer to assign to the
Corporation any of Executive’s rights in any design or invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret
information of the Corporation was used and which was developed entirely on the Executive’s own time, unless (a) the design
or invention related to (i) the business of the Corporation or (ii) the Corporation’s actual or demonstrably anticipated
research or development, or (b) the design, software or invention results from any work performed by the Executive for the Corporation.
The Executive acknowledges his prior receipt of written notification of the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence on
the Executive’s obligation to assign or offer to assign to the Corporation the Executive’s rights in designs and inventions.
