right to exercise any vested or unvested stock option opportunities as set forth on Schedule 2 (“Equity
Schedule”); and

 

(d)       If
the Employee timely and properly elects health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1985 (“COBRA”), the
Company shall reimburse the Employee for the monthly COBRA premium paid by the Employee for himself and his dependents. Such
reimbursement shall be paid to the Employee on the 15 day of the month immediately following the month in which the Employee
timely remits the premium payment. The Employee shall be eligible to receive such reimbursement until the earliest of: (i)
the eighteen-month anniversary of the Termination Date; (ii) the date the Employee is no longer eligible to receive COBRA
continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which the Employee becomes eligible to receive substantially similar coverage
from another employer or other source, including but not limited to health insurance coverage available to Canadian citizens
under Canadian law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s making
payments under this Section 5.2(c) would violate the nondiscrimination rules applicable to non-grandfathered plans under the
Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”),
or result in the imposition of penalties under the ACA and the related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder), the
parties agree to reform this Section 5.2(c) in a manner as is necessary to comply with the ACA.

5.3       Death

Employee’s employment hereunder shall terminate automatically upon the Employee’s
death during the Employment Term, and the Company may terminate the Employee’s employment
on account of the Employee’s Disability.

 

(b)       If
the Employee’s employment is terminated during the Employment Term on account of the
Employee’s death or Disability, the Employee (or the Employee’s
estate and/or beneficiaries, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts.

 

Notwithstanding any
other provision contained herein, all payments made in connection with the Employee’s
Disability shall be provided in a manner which is consistent with federal and state law.

 

(c)       For
purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall
mean the Employee’s inability, due to physical or mental incapacity, to perform the
essential functions of his job, with or without reasonable accommodation, for sixty (60) days out of any three hundred sixty-five
(365) day period. Any question as to the existence of the Employee’s Disability as
to which the Employee and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually
acceptable to the Employee and the Company. If the Employee and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician,
each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing.
The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and the Employee shall be final and conclusive for all purposes
of this Agreement.

 

5.4       Notice
of Termination. Any termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder by the
Company or by the Employee during the Employment Term (other than termination pursuant to Section 5.3(a) on account of the Employee’s
death) shall be communicated by written notice of termination (“Notice of Termination”)
to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 23. The Notice of Termination shall specify:

 

		(a)	The termination provision of this Agreement relied upon;

 

    7

employment under the provision so indicated; and

 

(c)       The
applicable Termination Date.

 

5.5       Termination
Date. The Employee’s “Termination
Date” shall be:

the Employee’s employment hereunder terminates on account of the Employee’s
death, the date of the Employee’s death;

 

(b)       If
the Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated on account of the Employee’s
Disability, the date that it is determined that the Employee has a Disability;

 

(c)       If
the Company terminates the Employee’s employment hereunder for Cause, the date the
Notice of Termination is delivered to the Employee;

 

(d)       If
the Company terminates the Employee’s employment hereunder without Cause, the date
specified in the Notice of Termination, which shall be no less than four weeks following the date on which the Notice of Termination
is delivered;

 

(e)       If
the Employee terminates his employment hereunder with or without Good Reason, the date specified in the Employee’s
Notice of Termination, which shall be no less than four weeks following the date on which the Notice of Termination is delivered;
and

the meaning of Section 409A.

 

5.6       Mitigation.
In no event shall the Employee be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts
payable to the Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and except as provided in Section 5.2(c) any amounts due
or payable pursuant to this Section 5 shall not be reduced by compensation the Employee earns on account of employment with another
employer.

 

5.7       [Intentionally
Left Blank]

 

5.8       Section
280G.

 

(a)       If
any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Employee (all such payments collectively referred to herein
as the “280G Payments”)
constitute “parachute payments” within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and will be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise
Tax”), the Company shall pay to the Employee, no later than the time such
Excise Tax is required to be paid by the Employee or withheld by the Company, an additional amount equal to the sum of the
Excise Tax payable by the Employee, plus the amount necessary to put the Employee in the same after-tax position (taking into
account any and all applicable federal, state, and local excise, income, or other taxes at the highest applicable rates on
such 280G Payments and on any payments under this Section 5.8 or otherwise) as if no Excise Tax had been imposed.

 

    8

     

    

 

(b)       All
calculations and determinations under this Section 5.8 shall be made by an independent accounting firm or independent tax counsel
appointed by the Company (the “Tax Counsel”)
whose determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Employee for all purposes. For purposes of making the
calculations and determinations required by this Section 5.8, the Tax Counsel may rely on reasonable, good faith assumptions and
approximations concerning the application of Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee shall furnish
the Tax Counsel with such information and documents as the Tax Counsel may reasonably request in order to make its determinations
under this Section 5.8. The Company shall bear all costs the Tax Counsel may reasonably incur in connection with its services.

Discussions Possible; If the Employment Term Does Not Continue after March 31, 2020

 

(a)       The
parties recognize and agree that they may from time to time discuss the matters described herein, and that they may elect in their
individual sole discretion to extend the Employment Term and/or modify this Agreement as specified in Section 16.

 

(b)       If
the Employment Term ends on March 31, 2020, and provided that Employee has complied fully with all of his duties, responsibilities
and obligations as provided in and is not in breach of this Agreement, Company shall: (i) pay to Employee twelve months of Employee’s
then current Base Salary; and (ii) provide the benefits as specified in Section 5.2.

 

6.     Cooperation.
The parties agree that certain matters in which the Employee will be involved during the Employment Term may necessitate the Employee’s
cooperation in the future. Accordingly, following the termination of the Employee’s
employment for any reason, to the extent reasonably requested by the Board, the Employee shall cooperate with the Company in connection
with matters arising out of the Employee’s service to the Company; provided that,
the Company shall make reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of the Employee’s
other activities. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation
and, to the extent that the Employee is required to spend substantial time on such matters, the Company shall compensate the Employee
at an hourly rate based on the Employee’s Base Salary on the Termination Date.

 

    9

     

    

 

7.      Confidential
Information. The Employee understands and acknowledges that during the Employment Term, he will have access to and learn about
Confidential Information, as defined below.

 

7.1       Confidential
Information Defined.

 

(a)       Definition.

 

For
purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes,
but is not limited to, all information not generally known to the public, in spoken, printed, electronic or any other form or medium,
relating directly or indirectly to: business processes, methods, policies, plans, publications, documents, research, operations,
services, strategies, techniques, agreements, contracts, terms of agreements, transactions, potential transactions, negotiations,
know-how, trade secrets, computer programs, computer software, applications, operating systems, software design, web design, databases,
manuals, records, material, sources of material, supplier information, vendor information, financial information, accounting information,
accounting records, legal information, marketing information, pricing information, credit information, design information, payroll
information, staffing information, personnel information, inventions, discoveries, experimental processes, customer information,
client information, or of any other person or entity that has entrusted information to the Company in confidence.

 

The Employee understands that the
above list is not exhaustive, and that Confidential Information also includes other information that is marked or otherwise identified
as confidential or proprietary, or that would otherwise appear to a reasonable person to be confidential or proprietary in the
context and circumstances in which the information is known or used.

 

The
Employee understands and agrees that Confidential Information includes information developed by him in the course of his employment
by the Company as if the Company furnished the same Confidential Information to the Employee in the first instance. Confidential
Information shall not include information that is generally available to and known by the public at the time of disclosure to the
Employee; provided that, such disclosure is through no direct or indirect fault of the Employee or person(s) acting on the Employee’s
behalf.

 

(b)       Disclosure
and Use Restrictions.

 

The
Employee agrees and covenants: (i) to treat all Confidential Information as strictly confidential; (ii) not to directly or
indirectly disclose, publish, communicate, or make available Confidential Information, or allow it to be disclosed,
published, communicated, or made available, in whole or part, to any entity or person whatsoever (including other employees
of the Company) not having a need to know and authority to know and use the Confidential Information in connection with the
business of the Company and, in any event, not to anyone outside of the direct employ of the Company except as required in
the performance of the Employee’s authorized employment duties to the
Company (and then, such disclosure shall be made only within the limits and to the extent of such duties). Nothing herein
shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or
pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the
disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation, or order, and provided further that,
unless prohibited by such applicable law, regulation, or order, Employee shall provide Company with advance written notice
prior to any such disclosure by Employee.

 

    10

     

    

 

(c)       Notice
of Immunity Under the Economic Espionage Act of 1996, as amended by the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

 

(i)       The
Employee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade
secret that:

 

(A)       is
made (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and
(2) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or

 

(B)       is
made in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.

 

(ii)       If
the Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Employee may disclose
the Company’s trade secrets to the Employee’s
attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Employee:

 

(A)       files
any document containing trade secrets under seal; and

 

(B)       does
not disclose trade secrets, except pursuant to court order.

 

The
Employee understands and acknowledges that his obligations under this Agreement with regard to any particular Confidential
Information shall commence immediately upon the Employee first having access to such Confidential Information (whether before
or after he begins employment by the Company) and shall continue during and after his employment by the Company until such
time as such Confidential Information has become public knowledge other than as a result of the Employee’s
breach of this Agreement or breach by those acting in concert with the Employee or on the Employee’s
behalf.

 

    11

     

    

 

		8.	Restrictive Covenants.

 

8.1       Acknowledgement.
The Employee understands that the nature of the Employee’s position gives him access
to and knowledge of Confidential Information and places him in a position of trust and confidence with the Company. The Employee
understands and acknowledges that the intellectual or artistic services he provides to the Company are unique, special, or extraordinary.

 

The
Employee further understands and acknowledges that the Company’s ability to reserve
these for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Company is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Company,
and that improper use or disclosure by the Employee is likely to result in unfair or unlawful competitive activity.

 

8.2       Non-Competition.
Because of the Company’s legitimate business interest as described herein and the
good and valuable consideration offered to the Employee, during the Employment Term and for one (1) year following the termination
of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the Employee agrees and covenants not
to engage in Prohibited Activity.

 

For
purposes of this Section 8, “Prohibited Activity” is
activity in which the Employee contributes his knowledge, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as an employee, employer,
owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, agent, employee, partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern, or

activity that may require or inevitably requires disclosure of trade secrets, proprietary information or Confidential Information.

 

Nothing herein shall prohibit the
Employee from purchasing or owning less than five percent (5%) of the publicly traded securities of any corporation, provided that
such ownership represents a passive investment and that the Employee is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that
controls, such corporation.

 

This Section 8 does not, in any
way, restrict or impede the Employee from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement
or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized
government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order.

 

8.3       Non-Solicitation
of Employees. The Employee agrees and covenants not to directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit,

    12

     

    

 

8.4       Non-Solicitation
of Customers. The Employee understands and acknowledges that because of the Employee’s
experience with and relationship to the Company, he will have access to and learn about much or all of the Company’s
customer information. “Customer Information” includes,
but is not limited to, names, phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses, order history, order preferences, chain of command, pricing
information, and other information identifying facts and circumstances specific to the customer.

 

The Employee understands and acknowledges
that loss of this customer relationship and/or goodwill will cause significant and irreparable harm.

 

The
Employee agrees and covenants, for one (1) year following the termination of the Employee’s
employment with the Company, beginning on the last day of the Employee’s employment
with the Company, not to directly or indirectly solicit, initiate contact (including but not limited to e-mail, regular mail, express
mail, telephone, fax, and instant message), attempt to initiate contact, or meet with the Company’s
current, former or prospective customers for purposes of offering or accepting goods or services similar to or competitive with
those offered by the Company.

 

This restriction set forth in this
Section 8.4 shall only apply to:

 

(a)       Intraoperative
neuromonitoring related services (IONM); and

 

(b)       Customers
or prospective customers the Employee contacted in any way.

 

9.       Non-Disparagement.
The Employee agrees and covenants that he will not at any time make, publish or communicate to any person or entity or in any public
forum any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments, or statements concerning the Company or its businesses, or any of its directors,
employees, officers or agents.

 

This Section 9 does not, in any way, restrict
or impede the Employee or the Company from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement
or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized
government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order.

 

The Company agrees and covenants that it shall
cause its officers and directors to refrain from making any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments, or statements concerning
the Employee to any third parties.

 

10.     Acknowledgement.
The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the services to be rendered by him to the Company are of a special and unique character;
that the Employee will obtain knowledge and skill relevant to the Company’s industry,
methods of doing business and marketing strategies by virtue of the Employee’s employment;
and that the restrictive covenants and other terms and conditions of this Agreement are reasonable and reasonably necessary to
protect the legitimate business interest of the Company.

 

The
Employee further acknowledges that the amount of his compensation reflects, in part, his obligations and the
Company’s rights under Section 7, Section 8, and Section 9 of this Agreement;
that he has no expectation of any additional compensation, royalties or other payment of any kind not otherwise referenced
specified herein in connection herewith; and that he will not be subject to undue hardship by reason of his full compliance
with the terms and conditions of Section 7, Section 8, and Section 9 of this Agreement or the Company’s
enforcement thereof.

 

    13

     

    

 

11.       Remedies.
In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Employee of Section 7, Section 8, or Section 9 of this Agreement, the Employee
hereby consents and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or
permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction,
without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the
necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal
remedies, monetary damages, or other available forms of relief.

 

12.       Proprietary
Rights.

 

12.1       Work
Product. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that all right, title, and interest in and to all writings, works of authorship,
technology, inventions, discoveries, processes, techniques, methods, ideas, concepts, research, proposals, materials, and all other
work product of any nature whatsoever, that are created, prepared, produced, authored, edited, amended, conceived, or reduced to
practice by the Employee individually or jointly with others during the period of his employment by the Company and relate in any
way to the business or contemplated business, products, activities, research, or development of the Company or result from any
work performed by the Employee for the Company (in each case, regardless of when or where prepared or whose equipment or other
resources is used in preparing the same), all rights and claims related to the foregoing, and all printed, physical and electronic
copies, and other tangible embodiments thereof (collectively, “Work Product”),
as well as any and all rights in and to US and foreign (a) patents, patent disclosures and inventions (whether patentable or not),
(b) trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade names, logos, corporate names, and domain names, and other similar designations
of source or origin, together with the goodwill symbolized by any of the foregoing, (c) copyrights and copyrightable works (including
computer programs), and rights in data and databases, (d) trade secrets, know-how, and other confidential information, and (e)
all other intellectual property rights, in each case whether registered or unregistered and including all registrations and applications
for, and renewals and extensions of, such rights, all improvements thereto and all similar or equivalent rights or forms of protection
in any part of the world (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”),
shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

 

For purposes of this Agreement,
Work Product includes, but is not limited to, all Company information, including plans, publications, research, strategies, techniques,
agreements, contracts, terms of agreements, negotiations, know-how, computer programs, computer applications, software design,

    14

     

    

 

12.2       Work
Made for Hire; Assignment. The Employee acknowledges that, by reason of being employed by the Company at the relevant times,
to the extent permitted by law, all of the Work Product consisting of copyrightable subject matter is “work
made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101 and such copyrights are therefore
owned by the Company. To the extent that the foregoing does not apply, the Employee hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company,
for no additional consideration, the Employee’s entire right, title, and interest
in and to all Work Product and Intellectual Property Rights therein, including the right to sue, counterclaim, and recover for
all past, present, and future infringement, misappropriation, or dilution thereof, and all rights corresponding thereto throughout
the world. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to reduce or limit the Company’s
rights, title, or interest in any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights so as to be less in any respect than that the Company
would have had in the absence of this Agreement.

 

12.3       Further
Assurances; Power of Attorney. During and after his employment, the Employee agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company
to (a) apply for, obtain, perfect, and transfer to the Company the Work Product as well as any and all Intellectual Property Rights
in the Work Product in any jurisdiction in the world; and (b) maintain, protect and enforce the same, including, without limitation,
giving testimony and executing and delivering to the Company any and all applications, oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers,
assignments, and other documents and instruments as shall be requested by the Company. The Employee hereby irrevocably grants the
Company power of attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on the Employee’s
behalf in his name and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Work Product to the Company and further the transfer,
prosecution, issuance, and maintenance of all Intellectual Property Rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, if the
Employee does not promptly cooperate with the Company’s request (without limiting
the rights the Company shall have in such circumstances by operation of law). The power of attorney is coupled with an interest
and shall not be affected by the Employee’s subsequent incapacity.

 

12.4       No
License. The Employee understands that this Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, grant the Employee any license
or right of any nature with respect to any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights or any Confidential Information, materials,
software, or other tools made available to him by the Company.

 

13.       Security.

 

13.1       Security
and Access. The Employee agrees and covenants (a) to comply with all Company security policies and procedures as in force
from time to time including without limitation those regarding computer equipment, facilities access, monitoring, key cards,
access codes, Company intranet, social media and instant messaging systems, computer systems, e-mail systems, computer
networks, document storage systems, software, data security, passwords and any and all other Company IT resources and
communication technologies (“Facilities and Information Technology
Resources”); (b) not to access or use any Facilities and Information
Technology Resources except as authorized by the Company; and (iii) not to access or use any Facilities and Information
Technology Resources in any manner after the termination of the Employee’s
employment by the Company, whether termination is voluntary or involuntary. The Employee agrees to notify the Company
promptly in the event he learns of any violation of the foregoing by others, or of any other misappropriation or unauthorized
access, use, reproduction, or reverse engineering of, or tampering with any Facilities and Information Technology Resources
or other Company property or materials by others.

 

    15

or (b) the Company’s request at any time during the Employee’s
employment, the Employee shall (i) provide or return to the Company any and all Company property, including keys, key cards, access
cards, identification cards, security devices, employer credit cards, network access devices, computers, cell phones, smartphones,
equipment, manuals, reports, files, books, work product, e-mail messages, removable information storage devices, hard drives, and
all Company documents and materials belonging to the Company and stored in any fashion, including but not limited to those that
constitute or contain any Confidential Information or Work Product, that are in the possession or control of the Employee, whether
they were provided to the Employee by the Company or any of its business associates or created by the Employee in connection with
his employment by the Company; and (ii) delete or destroy all copies of any such documents and materials not returned to the Company
that remain in the Employee’s possession or control, including those stored on any
non-Company devices, networks, storage locations, and media in the Employee’s possession
or control.

Law: Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement, for all purposes, shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Colorado
without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any action or proceeding by either of the parties to interpret or enforce this
Agreement shall be brought only in a state or federal court located in the City and County of Denver, state of Colorado. The parties
hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive the defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance

the Employee and the Company pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings,
agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. The parties mutually agree
that the Agreement can be specifically enforced in court and can be cited as evidence in legal proceedings alleging breach of the
Agreement.

 

16.       Modification
and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless such amendment or modification is agreed to
in writing and signed by the Employee and by a designated representative of the Board of Directors of the Company. No waiver
by either of the parties of any breach by the other party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be
performed by the other party hereto shall be valid unless memorialized in a writing signed by the party who or that agreed to
such waiver, nor shall the failure of or delay by either of the parties in exercising any right, power, or privilege
hereunder operate as a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such
right, power, or privilege.

 

    16

     

    

 

17.       Severability.
Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be enforceable only if modified, or if any
portion of this Agreement shall be held as unenforceable and thus stricken, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder
of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties with any such modification to become a part
hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement, provided however that the essential purposes and intent of
this Agreement remain applicable and in effect notwithstanding such modification or deletion, consistent with the two paragraphs
of this Section 17 immediately following below.

 

The parties further agree that any such court
is expressly authorized to modify any such unenforceable provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision
from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision,
adding additional language to this Agreement, or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent
and agreement of the parties as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

The parties expressly agree that this Agreement
as so modified by the court shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them. In any event, should one or more of the
provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement
shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provisions had not been set forth herein.

 

18.       Captions.
Captions and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are intended solely for convenience and no provision of
this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the caption or heading of any section or paragraph.

 

19.       Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (in hard copy, electronically or by other means demonstrating acceptance),
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

20.       Section
409A.

 

20.1       General
Compliance. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and
administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under
this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any
payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary

Schedule 2 Exhibit A

PERFORMANCE ESCROW SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT

 

The Employee has reached an agreement with Preston Parsons,
that 290,000 of the Stock Option Grant referred to in Schedule 2 will be satisfied by a transfer of performance escrow shares if
they are earned by Mr. Parsons: (a) upon the Company meeting the required earnings criteria based on audited December 31, 2017,
financial statements; and (b) upon Mr. Parsons meeting such additional performance criteria or other requirements for said performance
escrow shares as are determined by the Company. Such performance escrow shares must first be otherwise earned by Mr. Parsons, as
described above, before they are transferred to the Employee. For clarity, if 290,000 performance escrow shares are transferred,
the stock option grant referred to in Schedule 2 would be reduced to 310,000 options.
