      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SOUTHWEST IOWA RENEWABLE ENERGY, LLC, a limited liability
        company organized and existing under the laws of Iowa (the “Company”),
        hereby promises to pay to the order of FARM CREDIT SERVICES OF AMERICA, PCA (which, together with its endorsees, successors, and assigns, is referred to herein as the “Bank”), at the office of CoBank, ACB (the “Agent”) located at 6340 S. Fiddlers Green Circle, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111 (or at such
        other place of payment designated by the holder hereof to the Company), the lesser of (i) the principal sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) (the “Revolving
          Credit Commitment”) or (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all loans made under the Revolving Credit Commitment by the Bank to or for the benefit of the Company (each loan and any one or more portions of any loan being referred
        to herein as a “Loan”) pursuant to that First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith between the Company, Farm Credit Services of
        America, FLCA, the Bank and the Agent (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, collectively the “Agreement”), in lawful money of the
        United States of America in immediately available funds, payable together with interest thereon, as set forth below, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, and without
        set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature at the earlier of February 1, 2023 (the “Revolving Credit Facility Expiration Date”), or as otherwise
        set forth below or in the Agreement.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (as amended, restated, modified, supplemented, replaced, refinanced or renewed from time to time, this “Note”) shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them by the Agreement, including Annex A thereto, and the Rules of Construction set forth in such Annex A
        shall apply to this Note.  This Note amends and restates, but does not constitute payment of the indebtedness evidenced by, the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note dated as of February 25, 2022 by the Company to the order of the Bank.

       

      1.          Principal Payments and Prepayments.  Payments and prepayments of principal shall be due and payable as set forth in the Agreement and this Note.  The entire remaining indebtedness evidenced by this Note,
          if not sooner paid in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or this Note, shall be due and payable on the Revolving Credit Facility Expiration Date.  If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding exceeds the Revolving
          Credit Commitment at such time, the Company shall immediately notify the Agent and shall immediately prepay the principal amount of the outstanding Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

       

      2.          Purpose of Revolving Credit Facility.  The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be used to provide Working Capital for the Company and for any other lawful purpose.

       

      3.          Unused Commitment Fee.  Accruing from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Facility Expiration Date, the Company agrees to pay to the Agent a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.20% per annum (computed on the basis
          of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed) multiplied by the average daily positive difference between the amount of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitment minus
          (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding.  All Unused Commitment Fees shall accrue to the first day of each month and be payable monthly in arrears on the 20th day of each month hereafter and on the Revolving Credit
          Facility Expiration Date.

       

      4.          Interest Payments; Interest Rate.  The Company hereby further promises to pay to the order of the Agent, at the times and on the dates provided in the Agreement, interest on the unpaid principal amount
          of the Loans from the date hereof until the Payment in Full of all of the Loans at the Daily Simple SOFR Rate with a Daily Simple SOFR Rate Spread of 3.10% per annum (the “Daily Simple SOFR Rate Spread”).  All Loans shall be deemed to be Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans.

       

      
        
          

      

      
      5.          Loan Requests.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and the Agreement, the Company may prior to the Revolving Credit Facility Expiration Date request the Bank to make Loans by delivering, in
          accordance with the notice provisions of the Agreement, to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Denver time), the same Business Day as the proposed Business Day of borrowing, a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (or a request made by CoLink or by telephone, but subject to the same deadline and containing substantially the same information, and in the case of a
          telephone request, immediately confirmed in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit A and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof) by physical delivery,
          facsimile, or electronic mail (each such request, whether telephonic or written and regardless how delivered, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the
          Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation.  Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the amount of the proposed Loan.  All
          notices and requests hereunder shall be given, and all borrowings shall occur, only on Business Days.

       

      6.          Usury.  In no event shall the interest rate(s) applicable to principal outstanding hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable Law, as amended from time to time; any payment of
          interest or in the nature of interest in excess of such limitation shall be credited as a payment of principal unless the Company requests the return of such amount.

       

      7.          Miscellaneous.

       

      (a)          This Note is the Revolving Credit Note referred to

      (b)          No delay on the part of the holder hereof in

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT

 

This AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of July 18, 2022 (the “Employment Agreement”), by and between Gypsum Management and
Supply, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), and George Travis Hendren (the “Executive”)
(each of the Executive and the Company, a “Party,” and collectively, the “Parties”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive
are parties to that certain Employment Agreement dated as of May 30, 2014 (the “Original Employment Agreement”), which was
previously amended on January 23, 2019 (the “First Amendment”) and June 3, 2019 (the “Second Amendment”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive
desire to further amend and restate the Original Employment Agreement, the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment as stated herein
in connection with Executive’s promotion to the position of Chief Operating Officer effective as of August 1, 2022;

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires
to employ the Executive as Chief Operating Officer of the Company and wishes to be assured of the Executive’s services on the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth;

 

WHEREAS, the Executive desires
to be employed by the Company as Chief Operating Officer and to perform and to serve the Company on the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual covenants contained herein and other valid consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree
as follows:

 

Section 1.      
Employment.

 

1.1.            
Subject to Section 3 hereof, the Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to be employed by the Company,
in each case pursuant to this Employment Agreement, for a period commencing as of August 1, 2022 (the “Effective Date”),
and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”); provided, however, that
the period of the Executive’s employment pursuant to this Employment Agreement shall be automatically extended for successive one-year
periods thereafter (each, a “Renewal Term”), in each case unless either Party hereto provides the other Party hereto
with written notice that such period shall not be so extended at least 90 days in advance of the expiration of the Initial Term or the
then-current Renewal Term, as applicable (the Initial Term and any Renewal Term, collectively, the “Term”). Each additional
one-year Renewal Term shall be added to the end of the next scheduled expiration date of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable,
as of the first day after the last date on which notice may be given pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Executive’s period
of employment pursuant to this Employment Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Employment Period.”

 

1.2.            
Duties. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as Chief Operating Officer of the Company and such other
positions as an officer or director of the Company and such affiliates of the Company as the Chief Executive Officer shall determine from
time to time, and shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. In the Executive’s position of Chief Operating Officer the
Executive shall perform duties customary for the Chief Operating Officer of a company similar to the Company’s size and nature,
plus such additional duties, consistent with the foregoing, as the Chief Executive Officer may reasonably assign. The Executive’s
principal places of employment shall be the Company’s headquarters in Tucker, Georgia, and the Executive’s principal residence.

 

     

     

    

 

1.3.            
Exclusivity. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall devote substantially all of the Executive’s business time
and attention to the business and affairs of the Company, shall faithfully serve the Company, and shall conform to and comply with the
lawful and reasonable directions and instructions given to the Executive by the Chief Executive Officer consistent with Section 1.2 hereof.
During the Employment Period, the Executive shall use the Executive’s best efforts to promote and serve the interests of the Company
and shall not engage in any other business activity, whether or not such activity shall be engaged in for pecuniary profit; provided,
that the Executive may (a) serve any civic, charitable, educational or professional organization, (b) manage the Executive’s personal
investments and (c) act as a director on the board of directors of another company with prior written consent of the Company, in each
case so long as any such activities do not (x) violate the terms of this Employment Agreement (including Section 4) or (y) materially
interfere with the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company.

 

Section 2.      
Compensation.

 

2.1.            
Salary. As compensation for the performance of the Executive’s services hereunder, during the Employment Period, the
Company shall pay to the Executive a salary at an annual rate of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), payable in accordance with
the Company’s standard payroll policies (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be reviewed annually and may
be adjusted upward (but not downward) by the Chief Executive Officer or the board of directors of GMS Inc. (“Holdings”),
or a committee thereof, as the case may be, in its discretion.

 

2.2.            
Annual Bonus. For each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible for potential awards
of additional compensation to be determined based upon the Company’s performance and other criteria for each such fiscal year as
set forth in the annual bonus plan (the “Corporate Bonus Plan”, with any amount payable under the Corporate Bonus Plan,
the “Annual Bonus”), each as adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”),
and based upon Executive’s performance. The Executive’s target Annual Bonus opportunity under the Corporate Bonus Plan for
each fiscal year that ends during the Employment Period shall equal 60% of the Base Salary, assuming 100% achievement of the performance
target as set forth in the Corporate Bonus Plan (the “Corporate Target Bonus Opportunity”), with the actual Annual
Bonus to be based upon the Company’s performance as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Executive’s performance
as determined by the Chief Executive Officer. The Annual Bonus shall be paid at such time as annual bonuses are paid to other similarly
situated executives of the Company, but in no event later than August 31st following the fiscal year in respect of which such Annual Bonus
is earned. The Annual Bonus shall be paid in cash. The Annual Bonus shall be prorated based upon the Effective Date for Fiscal Year 2023.
No Annual Bonus or minimum amount thereof is guaranteed, and, subject to Section 3.2(a), the Executive must be an employee in good standing
on the final day of the fiscal year for the applicable bonus period in order to be eligible for and to earn any annual bonus, as it also
serves as an incentive to remain employed by the Company. For the sake of clarity, Executive will also be entitled to a prorated bonus
under and pursuant to the prior terms of his Employment Agreement for his services as President GMS Canada from the beginning of Fiscal
Year 2023 until the Effective Date.

 

2.3.            
Employee Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such health and other
group insurance and other employee benefit plans and programs and any fringe benefit programs of the Company as in effect from time to
time on the same basis as other similarly situated executives of the Company, and shall receive such perquisites as provided to other
similarly situated executives of the Company from time to time, including a car allowance in the amount of $800.00 per month.

 

    2

     

    

 

2.4.            
Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to up to four weeks (20 days) vacation per calendar
year. The number of vacation days is prorated for any partial year of service during the Employment Period.

 

2.5.            
Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive, upon presentation of documentation, for all commercially
reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses that the Executive incurs during the Employment Period in performing the Executive’s
duties under this Employment Agreement and in accordance with the expense reimbursement policy of the Company as approved by the Board
(or a committee thereof) and in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or otherwise, except to the
extent any expense or reimbursement described in this Employment Agreement does not constitute a “deferral of compensation”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance thereunder (“Section
409A”), any expense or reimbursement described in this Employment Agreement shall meet the following requirements: (i) the amount
of expenses eligible for reimbursement provided to the Executive during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible
for reimbursement to the Executive in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which the Executive is entitled
to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense
is incurred; (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other
benefit; and (iv) the reimbursements shall be made pursuant to objectively determinable and nondiscretionary Company policies and procedures
regarding such reimbursement of expenses.

 

2.6.             Equity Compensation.
Subject to approval by Holdings’ Compensation Committee, Executive shall be considered for an equity award having a grant date value
of $600,000 (the “Equity Award”). Fifty percent (50%) of the grant date value of the Equity Award will be delivered
in the form of restricted stock units (determined by dividing 50% of the Equity Award by the closing price per share of Holdings common
stock on the grant date) (the “RSUs”), and fifty percent (50%) of the grant date value of the Equity Award will be
delivered in the form of stock options (determined based on the Black-Scholes valuation model) (the “Stock Options”).
Each of the RSUs and Stock Options shall vest as to 33.3% on each annual anniversary of the date of grant if Executive is employed by
the Company on such anniversary date. The RSUs and Stock Options are subject to the terms and conditions in the Company’s Equity
Incentive Plan and the award agreement for such RSUs and Stock Options, as the case may be.

 

Section 3.      
Employment Termination.

 

3.1.            
Termination of Employment. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason during the
Employment Period upon not less than 30 days’ written notice to the Executive (other than in the event of a termination by the Company
for Cause), and the Executive may voluntarily terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason during the Employment
Period upon not less than 30 days’ written notice to the Company (subject to the longer notice requirements in connection with a
termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(iii)) (the date on which the Executive’s
employment terminates for any reason is herein referred to as the “Termination Date”). Upon the termination of the
Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall be entitled to (i) payment of any Base Salary earned
but unpaid through the date of termination, (ii) earned but unpaid Annual Bonus for any fiscal year completed prior to the Termination
Date (payable in the ordinary course pursuant to Section 2.2), (iii) unused and accrued vacation days (consistent with Section 2.4 hereof)
paid out at the per-business-day Base Salary rate, (iv) benefits in accordance with the applicable terms of applicable Company plans or
arrangements, and (v) any unreimbursed expenses in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”);
provided, however, that if the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company for Cause, then any Annual
Bonus earned pursuant to Section 2.2 in respect of a prior fiscal year, but not yet paid or due to be paid, shall be forfeited.

 

    3

     

    

 

3.2.            
Certain Terminations.

 

(a)               
Termination by the Company other than for Cause, Death or Disability; Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. If
the Executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability, (ii) by the Executive for
Good Reason or (iii) if the Company has given the Executive notice of its intent not to renew this Employment Agreement as of the end
of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, by the Executive within 15 days following the end of the Initial Term or any such Renewal Term,
as applicable (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Qualifying Termination”), then in addition to the Accrued Amounts,
the Executive shall be entitled to (A) (1) if the Qualifying Termination occurs prior to a Change in Control, the payment of an amount
equal to one times Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date, payable in equal installments
on the Company’s regular payment dates occurring during the 12-month period beginning on the first payroll date to occur after
the 60th day following the Termination Date; provided that the first such payment shall consist of all amounts payable to
the Executive pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) between the Termination Date and the first payroll date to occur after the 60th day following
the Termination Date, or (2) if the Qualifying Termination occurs within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, two (2)
times the sum of Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date plus Executive’s
target Annual Bonus for the year in which the Termination Date occurs, payable in a single lump sum on the first payroll date to occur
after the 60th day following the Termination Date); and (B) a prorated portion of the Executive’s actual Annual Bonus,
determined in accordance with Section 2.2 and payable at the same time as annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company,
with the prorated Annual Bonus determined by multiplying the actual Annual Bonus, if any, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days the Executive is employed by the Company during the applicable year and the denominator of which is 365 (subsection (A)
and (B) together, the “Severance Amount”). In addition, if the Executive elects to continue participation in any group
medical, dental, vision and/or prescription drug plan benefits to which the Executive and/or the Executive’s eligible dependents
would be entitled under COBRA, then for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date (or, if such Qualifying Termination
occurs within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, eighteen (18) months) (the “Health Benefits Continuation
Period”), the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount in cash equal to the excess of (A) the COBRA cost of such coverage
over (B) the amount that the Executive would have had to pay for such coverage if Executive had remained employed during the Health
Benefits Continuation Period and paid the active employee rate for such coverage; provided, however, that (i) if Executive
becomes eligible to receive group health benefits under a program of a subsequent employer or otherwise (including coverage available
to Executive’s spouse), the Company’s obligation to pay any portion of the cost of health coverage as described herein shall
cease, except as otherwise provided by law; (ii) the Health Benefits Continuation Period shall run concurrently with any period for which
the Executive is eligible to elect health coverage under COBRA; and (iii) the Company-paid portion of the monthly premium for such group
health benefits, determined in accordance with Code Section 4980B and the regulations thereunder, shall be treated as taxable compensation
by including such amount in the Executive’s income in accordance with applicable rules and regulations (the “Health Benefit”).
The Company’s obligations to pay the Severance Amount and the Health Benefit shall be conditioned upon: (i) the Executive’s
continued compliance with the Executive’s obligations under Section 4 of this Employment Agreement and (ii) the Executive’s
execution, delivery and non-revocation of a valid and enforceable general release of claims (the “Release”) in the
form provided by the Company, within 45 days after the Executive’s Termination Date.

 

(b)               
Termination for Cause; Termination by Reason of Death or Disability; Resignation by Executive other than Resignation for Good
Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by Executive other than for Good Reason, or
in the event of Executive’s death or Disability, then the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive or the Executive’s
legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of the Accrued Amounts.

(c)               
Definitions. For purposes of Section 3, the following terms have the following meanings:

 

(i)                     
“Cause” shall mean a good faith determination by the Chief Executive Officer that Executive has engaged in any
of the following: (A) willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of any of the Executive’s duties to the Company,
which, if capable of being cured, is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board within 30 days after the Executive receives
from the Board written notice of such willful misconduct or gross negligence, which notice is given to Executive no later than 30 days
after the Board becomes aware of such willful misconduct or gross negligence; (B) intentional failure or refusal to perform reasonably
assigned duties by the Board, which is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board within 30 days after the Executive receives
from the Board written notice of such failure or refusal, which notice is given to the Executive no later than 30 days after the Board
becomes aware of such failure or refusal; (C) any conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, (1) any felony (other than motor
vehicle offenses) or (2) any crime (whether or not a felony) involving fraud, theft, or embezzlement, whether of the United States or
any state thereof or any similar foreign law to which the Executive may be subject; (D) any willful failure to comply with any written
rules, regulations, policies or procedures of the Company which, if not complied with, would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company, which in the case of a failure that is capable of being cured, is
not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board within 30 days after the Executive receives from the Company written notice of such
failure, which notice is given to the Executive no later 30 days after the Board becomes aware of such failure; or (E) a material breach
of this Agreement, which, if capable of being cured, is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board within 30 days after the
Executive receives from the Board written notice of such breach, which notice is given to Executive no later than 30 days after the Board
becomes aware of such breach. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, the Company shall provide written
notice to the Executive of that fact on or before the termination of employment.

 

(ii)                    
“Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended
from time to time, or any successor thereto.

 

(iii)                    
“Disability” shall mean the Executive’s inability, due to physical or mental ill health, to perform the
essential functions of the Executive’s job, with or without a reasonable accommodation, for 180 days out of any 270-day consecutive
day period.

 

(iv)                    
“Good Reason” shall mean one of the following has occurred without the Executive’s written consent: (A)
a material breach by the Company of any of the covenants in this Employment Agreement, (B) any material reduction in the Executive’s
Base Salary or bonus opportunity, (C) a material diminution in Executive’s title, authority, duties, or responsibilities, or a requirement
that Executive report to anyone other than the Chief Executive Officer, or (D) a relocation that would require the Executive to move outside
of the Charlotte, North Carolina area. A termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason shall be effectuated by giving the
Company written notice of the termination, setting forth the conduct of the Company that constitutes Good Reason, within 30 days of the
first date on which the Executive has knowledge of such conduct. The Executive shall further provide the Company at least 30 days following
the date on which such notice is provided to cure such conduct, if such conduct is capable of being cured. Failing such cure, a termination
of employment by the Executive for Good Reason shall be effective on the day following the expiration of such cure period.

3.3.         
Section 409A. The payments contemplated by this Employment Agreement are intended either not to be subject to Section 409A
or, if subject to Section 409A, to be administered, operated and construed in accordance with Section 409A and all regulations and other
guidance issued thereunder. If the Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, any Severance Amount
required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.2 which is non-qualified deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A shall commence
on the day after the first to occur of (i) the day which is six months from the Termination Date and (ii) the date of the Executive’s
death. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, the terms “terminate,” “terminated” and “termination”
mean a termination of the Executive’s employment that constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of
the default rules under Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under this Employment
Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to
the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code
would otherwise be payable hereunder, or a different form of payment of such non-exempt deferred compensation would be effected, by reason
of a Change in Control, such non-exempt deferred compensation will not be payable to the Executive, and/or such different form of payment
will not be effected, by reason of such circumstance unless the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control meet any description
or definition of “change in control event” in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to
any elective provisions that may be available under such definition).

 

3.4.            Exclusive Remedy. The foregoing payments and benefits continuation upon termination of the Executive’s employment
shall constitute the exclusive severance payments and benefits continuation due to the Executive upon a termination of the Executive’s
employment.

 

3.5.            
Resignation from All Positions. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason,
the Executive shall resign, as of the date of such termination, from all positions the Executive then holds as an officer, director, employee
and member of the board of directors (and any committee thereof) of Holdings and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates (the
 “Company Group”). The Executive shall be required to execute such writings as are required to effectuate the foregoing.

 

3.6.            
Cooperation. Following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive
shall reasonably cooperate with the Company upon reasonable request of the Board and be reasonably available to the Company (taking into
account any other full-time employment of the Executive) with respect to matters arising out of the Executive’s services to the
Company and its subsidiaries.

3.7.            
Code Section 280G.

 

(a)               
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution
by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement or otherwise) (such benefits, payments or distributions are hereinafter referred to as “Payments”) would,
if paid, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, prior to the making
of any Payments to the Executive, a calculation shall be made comparing (X) the net after-tax benefit to the Executive of the Payments
after payment by the Executive of the Excise Tax, to (Y) the net after-tax benefit to the Executive if the Payments had been limited to
the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (X) above is less than the amount calculated
under (Y) above, then the Payments shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced
Amount”). The reduction of the Payments due hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing cash Payments and then,
to the extent necessary, reducing those Payments having the next highest ratio of Parachute Value (as defined below) to actual present
value of such Payments as of the date of the Change in Control, as determined by the Determination Firm (as defined in Section 3.7(b)(ii))
below). For purposes of this Section 3.7, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. For purposes
of this Section 3.7, the “Parachute Value” of a Payment means the present value as of the date of the Change in Control
of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, as determined
by the Determination Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment.

 

(b)               
All determinations required to be made under this Section 3.7, including whether an Excise Tax would otherwise be imposed, whether
the Payments shall be reduced, the amount of the Reduced Amount, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations,
shall be made by an accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed
supporting calculations both to the Executive and the Company within 15 business days after the receipt of notice from the Company that
a Payment is due to be made, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Determination Firm shall
be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Determination Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a
result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Determination
Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments which the Executive was entitled to, but did not receive pursuant to Section 3.7, could have
been made without the imposition of the Excise Tax (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be
made hereunder. In such event, the Determination Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment
shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive but no later than March 15 of the year after the year in
which the Underpayment is determined to exist, which is when the legally binding right to such Underpayment arises

 

(c)               
In the event that the provisions of Code Section 280G and 4999 or any successor provisions are repealed without succession, this
Section 3.7 shall be of no further force or effect.

Section 4.      
Unauthorized Disclosure; Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Interference with Business Relationships; Proprietary Rights.

 

4.1.            Unauthorized Disclosure. The Executive agrees and understands that in the Executive’s position with the Company, the
Executive has and will be exposed to and has and will receive information relating to the confidential affairs of the Company Group, including,
without limitation, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, software,
other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices of the
Company Group and other forms of information considered by the Company Group to be confidential or in the nature of trade secrets (including,
without limitation, ideas, research and development, know-how, formulas, technical data, designs, drawings, specifications, customer and
supplier lists, pricing and cost information and business and marketing plans and proposals) (collectively, the “Confidential
Information”). Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally known to the public or within the relevant
trade or industry other than due to the Executive’s violation of this Section 4.1 or disclosure by a third party who is known by
the Executive to owe the Company an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information. The Executive agrees that at all times
during the Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Executive shall not disclose such Confidential Information,
either directly or indirectly, to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity
or organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof (each a “Person”)
without the prior written consent of the Company and shall not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner other than in
connection with the Executive’s employment with the Company, unless required by law to disclose such information, in which case
the Executive shall provide the Company with written notice of such requirement as far in advance of such anticipated disclosure as possible.
This confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction. The Executive understands and acknowledges that
nothing in this section limits the Executive’s ability to report possible violations of federal, state, or local law or regulation
to any governmental agency or entity; to communicate with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding
that may be conducted by any government agencies in connection with any charge or complaint, whether filed by the Executive, on the Executive’s
behalf, or by any other individual; or to make other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal, state,
or local law or regulation, and the Executive shall not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures
and shall not be required to notify the Company that the Executive has made such reports or disclosures. In addition, and anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Executive is hereby given notice that the Executive shall not be criminally or civilly liable under
any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret (as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1839) in confidence to a federal,
state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, in either event solely for the purpose of reporting
or investigating a suspected violation of law; or disclosing a trade secret (as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1839) in a complaint or other
document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

 

4.2.            
Return of Property. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall promptly
supply to the Company all property, keys, notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks,
cards, surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data and any other tangible product or document which has been produced by, received by
or otherwise submitted to the Executive during or prior to the Executive’s employment with the Company, and any copies thereof in
the Executive’s (or reasonably capable of being reduced to the Executive’s) possession; provided that nothing in this
Employment Agreement or elsewhere shall prevent the Executive from retaining and utilizing: documents relating to the Executive’s
personal benefits, entitlements and obligations; documents relating to the Executive’s personal tax obligations; the Executive’s
desk calendar, rolodex, and the like; and such other records and documents as may reasonably be approved by the Company. To the extent
that the Executive has electronic files or information in the Executive’s possession or control that belong to the Company or contain
Confidential Information (specifically including but not limited to electronic files or information stored on personal computers, mobile
devices, electronic media, or in cloud storage), on or prior to the Termination Date, or at any other time the Company requests, the Executive
shall (i) provide the Company with an electronic copy of all of such files or information (in an electronic format that readily accessible
by the Company); (ii) after doing so, delete all such files and information, including all copies and derivatives thereof, from all non-Company-owned
computers, mobile devices, electronic media, cloud storage, and other media, devices, and equipment, such that such files and information
are permanently deleted and irretrievable; and (iii) provide a written certification to the Company that the required deletions have been
completed and specifying the files and information deleted and the media source from which they were deleted.

4.3.            
Non-Competition. By and in consideration of the Company’s entering into this Employment Agreement, and in further
consideration of the Executive’s exposure to the Confidential Information of the Company Group, the Executive agrees that the Executive
shall not, during the Employment Period and for 12 months following the Executive’s Termination Date (the “Restriction
Period”), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the ownership, management,
operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with, including, without limitation, holding any position as a stockholder, director,
officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below); provided,
that in no event shall ownership of one percent or less of the outstanding securities of any class of any issuer whose securities are
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, standing alone, be prohibited by this Section 4.3, so long as the Executive
does not have, or exercise, any rights to manage or operate the business of such issuer other than rights as a stockholder thereof. For
purposes of this paragraph, “Restricted Enterprise” shall mean any Person that is actively engaged in any of the activities,
products, and services of the type conducted, authorized, or provided by any member of the Company Group within two years prior to the
Executive’s termination in any geographic area in which any member of the Company Group operates or markets. During the Restriction
Period, upon request of the Company, the Executive shall notify the Company of the Executive’s then-current employment status.

 

4.4.            
Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Restriction Period, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly contact, induce
or solicit (or assist any Person to contact, induce or solicit) for employment any person who is, or within 12 months prior to the date
of such solicitation was, an employee of any member of the Company Group other than an employee (a) whose employment was involuntarily
terminated by a member of the Company Group after the Executive’s Termination Date and (b) who has not been an employee of the Company
Group for six months or longer. The foregoing restriction will not apply to the placement of general advertisements or other notices of
employment opportunities that are not targeted, directly or indirectly, to any current or former employee of the Company otherwise covered
by the scope of such restriction so long as the Executive is not personally involved in the recruitment or hiring of any such employee
subsequent to such general advertisement or other notice.

 

4.5.            
Interference with Business Relationships. During the Restriction Period (other than in connection with carrying out the
Executive’s responsibilities for the Company Group), the Executive shall not directly or indirectly induce or solicit (or assist
any Person to induce or solicit) any customer or client of any member of the Company Group to terminate its relationship or otherwise
cease doing business in whole or in part with any member of the Company Group, or directly or indirectly interfere with (or assist any
Person to interfere with) any material relationship between any member of the Company Group and any of their customers or clients so as
to cause harm to any member of the Company Group.

 

4.6.            
Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the Restricted Period (other than in connection with carrying out the Executive’s
responsibilities for the Company Group), the Executive shall not directly or indirectly, solicit, or attempt to solicit, any business
from any customer of the Company Group, including actively seeking prospective customers, with whom the Executive had material contact
with during the Executive’s employment for purposes of providing products or services that are competitive with those provided by
the Company’s Group within the two years prior to the Executive’s termination.

 

4.7.            
Extension of Restriction Period. The Restriction Period shall be tolled for any period during which the Executive is in
breach of any of Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4,4.5 or 4.6 hereof.

 

    9

     

    

 

4.8.            Proprietary Rights. The Executive shall disclose promptly to the Company any and all inventions, discoveries, and improvements
(whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes), and all patentable or copyrightable works, initiated,
conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made by him, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Executive’s employment
with the Company and related to the business or activities of the Company Group (the “Developments”). Except to the
extent any rights in any Developments constitute a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. that
are owned ab initio by a member of the Company Group, the Executive assigns and agrees to assign all of the Executive’s right, title
and interest in all Developments (including all intellectual property rights therein) to the Company or its nominee without further compensation,
including all rights or benefits therefor, including without limitation the right to sue and recover for past and future infringement.
The Executive acknowledges that any rights in any Developments constituting a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C
 § 101 et seq. are owned upon creation by the Company as the Executive’s employer. Whenever requested to do so by the Company,
the Executive shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary to apply
for and obtain trademarks, patents or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country or otherwise protect the interests of the
Company Group. These obligations shall continue beyond the end of the Executive’s employment with the Company with respect to inventions,
discoveries, improvements or copyrightable works initiated, conceived or made by the Executive while employed by the Company, and shall
be binding upon the Executive’s employers, assigns, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. In connection with
the Executive’s execution of this Employment Agreement, the Executive has informed the Company in writing of any interest in any
inventions or intellectual property rights that the Executive holds as of the date hereof. If the Company is unable for any reason, after
reasonable effort, to obtain the Executive’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions described in this Section
4.7, the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Executive’s
agent and attorney in fact to act for and on the Executive’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all
other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section 4.7 with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Executive.

 

4.9.            Confidentiality of Agreement. Other than with respect to information required to be disclosed by applicable law, the Executive
agrees not to disclose the terms of this Employment Agreement to any Person; provided the Executive may disclose this Employment
Agreement and/or any of its terms to the Executive’s immediate family, financial advisors and attorneys, so long as the Executive
instructs every such Person to whom the Executive makes such disclosure not to disclose the terms of this Employment Agreement further.
Any time after this Employment Agreement is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other government agency by the Company
and becomes a public record, this provision shall no longer apply.

 

4.10.         
Remedies. The Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 4 would result in irreparable injury and damage
to the Company Group for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law; the Executive therefore also agrees that in the event
of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such
breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Executive,
without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, including,
without limitation, the obligation of the Executive to return any portion of the Severance Amount paid by the Company to the Executive
as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 4.9. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other
available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Executive.
The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 4 are reasonable and necessary
to protect the businesses of the Company Group because of the Executive’s access to Confidential Information and the Executive’s
material participation in the operation of such businesses. In the event that the Executive willfully and materially breaches any of the
covenants set forth in this Section 4, then in addition to any injunctive relief, the Executive will promptly return to the Company any
portion of the Severance Amount that the Company has paid to the Executive.

 

    10

     

    

 

4.11.         
Existing Covenants. The Executive represents and warrants that the Executive’s employment with the Company does not
and will not breach any agreement that the Executive has with any former employer to keep in confidence proprietary or confidential information
or not to compete with any such former employer. The Executive will not disclose to the Company or use on its behalf any proprietary or
confidential information of any other party required to be kept confidential by the Executive.

 

Section 5.       Representations. The Executive represents and warrants that (i) the Executive is not subject to any contract, arrangement,
policy or understanding, or to any statute, governmental rule or regulation, that in any way limits the Executive’s ability to
enter into and fully perform the Executive’s obligations under this Employment Agreement and (ii) the Executive is not otherwise
unable to enter into and fully perform the Executive’s obligations under this Employment Agreement.

 

Section 6.       Non-Disparagement.
From and after the Effective Date and following termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive agrees
not to make any statement, whether direct or indirect, whether true or false, that is intended to become public, or that should reasonably
be expected to become public, and that criticizes, ridicules, disparages or is otherwise derogatory of the Company, any of its subsidiaries,
affiliates, employees, officers, directors or stockholders. This Section 6 shall not in any way limit any of the protected rights contained
in the last two sentences of Section 4.1 of this Agreement, or Executive’s ability to provide truthful testimony pursuant to a
subpoena, court order or as otherwise required by law.

 

Section 7.      
Withholding. All amounts paid to the Executive under this Employment Agreement during or following the Employment Period shall
be subject to withholding and other employment taxes imposed by applicable law. The Executive shall be solely responsible for the payment
of all taxes imposed on him relating to the payment or provision of any amounts or benefits hereunder.

 

Section 8.      
Miscellaneous.

 

8.1.            
Indemnification. To the extent provided in the Company’s By-Laws and Certificate of Incorporation, the Company shall
indemnify the Executive for losses or damages incurred by the Executive as a result of all causes of action arising from the Executive’s
performance of duties for the benefit of the Company, whether or not the claim is asserted during the Employment Period. This indemnity
shall not apply to the Executive’s acts of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Executive shall be covered under any directors’
and officers’ insurance that the Company maintains for its directors and other officers in the same manner and on the same basis
as the Company’s directors and other officers.

 

8.2.            
Amendments and Waivers. This Employment Agreement and any of the provisions hereof may be amended, waived (either generally
or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), modified or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by written
agreement signed by the parties hereto; provided, that, the observance of any provision of this Employment Agreement may be waived
in writing by the party that will lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach
of any provision of this Employment Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as
a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, except as otherwise explicitly provided for in such waiver. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or remedy.

 

    11

     

    

 

8.3.          Assignment;
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Employment Agreement, and the Executive’s rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned
by the Executive, and any purported assignment by the Executive in violation hereof shall be null and void. Nothing in this Employment
Agreement shall confer upon any Person not a party to this Employment Agreement, or the legal representatives of such Person, any rights
or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Employment Agreement, except (i) the personal representative
of the deceased Executive may enforce the provisions hereof applicable in the event of the death of the Executive and (ii) any member
of the Company Group may enforce the provisions of Section 4. The Company is authorized to assign this Employment Agreement to a successor
to substantially all of its assets.

Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Employment Agreement, including those
contained in Section 4 hereof, will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but the invalidity
or unenforceability of any provision or portion of any provision of this Employment Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Employment Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of this
Employment Agreement, including that provision or portion of any provision, in any other jurisdiction. In addition, should a court or
arbitrator determine that any provision or portion of any provision of this Employment Agreement, including those contained in Section
