(c)          Executive’s
Employability. Executive represents and warrants that: (i) Executive has the right to execute, deliver and perform Executive’s
duties under this Agreement, and (ii) Executive is not a party to any other agreements, arrangements or obligations (e.g. confidentiality
agreements, noncompetition agreements), whether written, oral or implied, which include terms that would limit Executive’s
ability to execute, deliver and perform Executive’s duties under this Agreement or which are otherwise inconsistent with
this Agreement. This warranty will remain in full force and effect throughout the Employment Term (as defined in Section 2 below).

 

(d)          
Consent to Assignment; Restatement of Agreement. Executive hereby consents to and approves the Assignment of the Original Agreement
from Parent to the Company, and that the Company shall be deemed a “successor” for purposes of assignment of the Original

(iii)        Executive
also waives and releases and promises never to assert any of the released claims described in this Section, even if he is unaware
of any such claims. Executive therefore waives his rights under California Civil Code Section 1542, which states:

 

A general
release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing
the release, which if known to him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

 

Executive intends,
by his release of claims set forth in this Section to release all such claims, whether known or unknown by Executive.

 

2.   
       Employment Term. The “Employment
Term” under this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue, unless sooner terminated as
provided by this Agreement, for one (1) year thereafter (the “Initial Term”); provided, however,
that the Initial Term will automatically be extended for successive one (1) year terms, unless either party gives the other
party written notice no less than 30 days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any extension thereof stating that this
Agreement will terminate at the expiration of the Initial Term or any extension thereof. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement and Executive’s employment will terminate automatically at the
conclusion of an unrenewed Initial Term or extension thereof and, in such event, the Company will have no obligation or
liability to Executive thereafter except for the obligations of the Company specifically set forth in Sections 7, 8 and
15(a).

       Compensation.

Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company will pay Executive as compensation for Executive’s services a base salary
at rate of $18,750 per month for a total base salary of $225,000 per year (which salary may be increased but not decreased by the

with the Company’s normal payroll practices, subject to applicable deductions and withholdings. The first and last payment
will be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect a commencement or termination date other than the first or last working day of a pay
period.

 

(b)          Annual
Bonus. Executive shall be eligible for an annual bonus and/or other annual incentive compensation (collectively the “Annual
Bonus”) during the Employment Term, in accordance with any applicable executive bonus plan applicable to Executive as

(d)          Definitions.

 

(i)          Cause.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means (A) Executive’s willful dishonesty
or fraud with respect to the business affairs of the Company; (B) Executive’s willful falsification of any employment or
Company records; (C) Executive’s misappropriation of or intentional damage to the business or property of the Company, including
the improper use or disclosure of the confidential or proprietary information of the Company (excluding damage of little or no
consequence to the business or property of the Company); (D) Executive’s conviction (including any plea of guilty or nolo
contendere) of a felony or crime that involves moral turpitude;
(E) Executive’s willful and continued failure to comply with reasonable written directives of the company after Executive’s
receipt of written notice by the Company of the refusal and a reasonable opportunity to cure (as described below); or (F) the misappropriation

the Company or to the benefits of which the Company is entitled. The Company must give Executive written notice of its intention
to terminate Executive for Cause, which notice must (I) state the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause is based,
and (II) be given no later than 90 days after the later of occurrence of the event giving rise to these grounds or the discovery
thereof by the Board. Executive must have 30 days after receiving this notice to cure these grounds (if cure is possible). If Executive
fails to cure these grounds within 30 days, “Cause” will exist for the Company’s termination of Executive’s
employment. For purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, by Executive will be considered “willful”
if done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in good faith and in the reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best
interest of the Company or required by applicable law.

 

(ii)         Change
of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” occurs when:

 

(1)         Any
“person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from
time to time (“Exchange Act”)), becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented
by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities (“Voting Power”), unless such “person”
was the “beneficial owner” of at least 20% of the Voting Power as of February 1, 2012 and does not become the “beneficial
owner” of 80% or more of the Voting Power; or

 

(2)         The
Company consummates the sale, exchange, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets to a person or group
of related persons, as such terms are defined or described in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act; or

 

(3)         The
Company consummates a merger, excluding the currently comtemplated reverse merger, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation,
or similar transaction with any other corporation or other business entity, in one transaction or a series of related transactions
(except one in which (A) the holders of the Company’s voting securities outstanding immediately
before such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least 50% of the voting power in the
surviving entity, or (B) a transaction in which a single party (or a group of affiliated parties) acquires voting securities of

of their interests in the Company in connection with that transaction); or

related transactions in the aggregate within a 12 month period.

 

(e)          Limited
Rights to Severance Payments. For clarity, Executive shall only be entitled to any severance payments of any kind pursuant
to this Agreement if (i) the Company terminates Executive’s employment or gives written notice of a non-renewal of this Agreement
without Cause. No Severance Payment obligations shall arise out of (i) a termination or nonrenewal of this Agreement by the Company
with Cause, (ii) a termination of this Agreement by the Executive, or (iii) a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
8 below.

 

8.  
        Death or Disability. The Employment Term and Executive’s
employment will terminate upon Executive’s death or Disability. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for
either death or Disability, Executive or Executive’s estate, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive any
Accrued Obligations. In addition, and upon such a determination by the Board in its sole discretion, Executive or
Executive’s estate, as the case may be, may be granted (i) additional vesting of then-unvested stock or stock options,
as applicable, (ii) a proportional amount of any earned and unpaid Annual Bonus based on Executive’s performance
through the date of termination, and/or (iii) severance payments; provided, however, that any such determination by the
Board, in its sole discretion, will be conditioned upon Executive (or Executive’s estate) and Executive’s spouse
(if Executive has one at the time), executing, and not revoking, a general release of claims and affirmation of
Executive’s other continuing obligations under this Agreement in a form acceptable to and provided by the Company
(including without limitation unconditional release, representations that no claims have been filed, confidentiality,
nondisparagement, transition, no admission, etc.). Upon termination of Executive’s employment due to death or
Disability pursuant to this Section, Executive or Executive’s estate, as the case may be, will have no further rights
to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. All other benefits, if any, due Executive following
Executive’s termination for death or Disability will be determined in accordance with the Company’s plans and
practices. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means Executive’s inability to perform
one or more of the essential functions of Executive’s job due to Executive’s physical or mental impairment, with
or without reasonable accommodation as required by law, for any period aggregating more than 120 days in any 365 consecutive
day period. If the Company determines that Executive has become Disabled, the Company shall notify Executive of its
determination. Executive may then request an accommodation from the Company to assist in his/her return to work. The Company
will determine whether Executive’s request can be accommodated without undue hardship no later than 30 days after
Executive requests an accommodation. In the event Executive’s request cannot be accommodated, the Company may, by
notice given in the manner provided in this Agreement, terminate the status of Executive as an executive and employee of the
Company. Any such termination shall become effective 30 days after such notice of termination is given, unless within such 30
day period, Executive becomes capable of rendering services of the character contemplated hereby (and a physician chosen by
the Company so certifies in writing) and Executive in fact resumes such services.

(a)          Executive

or divulge to, or use for the direct or indirect benefit of any Person other than the Company, any confidential, proprietary or
unique information (“Confidential Information”) belonging to, used by or in possession of the Company including,
but not limited to, the methods, policies, procedures, techniques, trade secrets, software, products, customer lists or other knowledge
or processes used or developed by the Company or other information concerning the Company of which Executive became aware as a
result of Executive’s employment with the Company. If Executive is uncertain about whether certain information or material
is Confidential Information, then Executive shall treat that information or material as Confidential Information. The foregoing
restrictions will not apply to (i) information which is or becomes, other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or a similar
confidentiality obligation generally available to the public, or (ii) the disclosure of information required pursuant to a subpoena
or other legal process; provided that Executive will notify the Company, in writing, of the receipt of any such subpoena or other
legal process requiring such disclosure immediately after receipt thereof and the Company will have a reasonable opportunity to
quash such subpoena or other legal process prior to any disclosure by Executive. For purposes of this Agreement the word “Person”
means and includes any: (i) natural person; (ii) firm; (iii) partnership; (iv) joint venture; (v) corporation; (vi) limited liability
company; (vii) limited liability partnership; (viii) business venture; (ix) trust; (x) association; (xi) consumer organization;

or (xiv) any other Person.

 

(b)          During
the Employment Term and after the expiration thereof, regardless of the reason, Executive shall not use the Confidential Information
for the benefit of Executive or any other Person other than the Company. During the Employment Term, Executive shall keep the Confidential
Information in the strictest confidence and share it with other Persons only for the benefit of the Company. Moreover, from and
after the expiration of the Employment Term, regardless of reason, Executive will not disclose any Confidential Information to
any Persons other than the Company, in whole or in part, in any matter either directly or indirectly.

 

(c)          From
and after the expiration or termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason, Executive shall
not make copies of any Confidential Information in any form or manner whatsoever (including, but not limited to, computer printouts,
computer tapes, discs, etc.). Moreover, immediately upon and after the expiration or termination of Executive’s employment
with the Company, regardless of the reason, Executive shall surrender, transfer possession of, and deliver (collectively, “Transfer”)
to the Company all originals and all copies, in whatever form (whether written, contained on computer media or otherwise) of: (i)
all Confidential Information; and (ii) all property, notes, manuals, reports, documents and other things that relate in any way,
directly or indirectly, to any Confidential Information (subparts (i) and (ii) are referred to collectively as “Information”),
as are in Executive’s possession, custody or control. If requested by the Company, the Transfer shall be accompanied by a
written statement executed by Executive, certifying that: (A) all originals and all copies of all Information have been returned
to the Company; and (B) Executive has not retained any original or copy of any Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 9(c), Executive may comply with any properly issued subpoena or order of an administrative or judicial
body, provided that Executive shall give the Company written notice of such subpoena or order at least 10 days prior to Executive’s
compliance therewith.

restrictive covenants contained in this Section 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

10.  
       Restrictive Covenants.

 

(a)          No
Solicitation. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company has devoted, and will devote, significant effort, time, and
expense to the creation and development of the goodwill of the customers that they serve and the personnel that they employ, that
the identities of many of the customers and prospects represent trade secrets of the Company, and that Executive will benefit from,
and will be expected to nurture these relationships while Executive is employed by the Company. Executive further acknowledges
and agrees that it would be unfair and would cause irreparable injury to the Company if, following the expiration or termination
of Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason, Executive were to solicit any of the Company’s
customers with whom Executive had direct contact during Executive’s employment with the Company to promote or sell any product
or service that competes with the Company or its affiliates, or to induce any of the Company’s officers, directors, managers,
members, employees, subcontractors or agents (collectively, “Employees”) with whom Executive had direct contact
during Executive’s employment with the Company to terminate their relationship with the Company. Accordingly, Executive agrees
that, during the Time Period set forth in Section 10(d) below, Executive shall not, directly or with or through any other Person,
directly or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, partner, employee, agent, member, stockholder, or in any other capacity
whatsoever: (i) call on, solicit, divert, interfere with or take away, or attempt to call on, solicit, divert, interfere with or
take away, any of the projects, business, clients, customers or prospects (or employees of such customers or prospects) of the
Company with whom Executive had contact during Executive’s employment with the Company by promoting or selling any product
or service that competes with the Company or its affiliates, either for Executive’s own benefit or for any other Person;
provided that, to insure Executive’s compliance with this subpart (i), promptly following the expiration or termination of
Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason, the Company will provide Executive a list of customers
and prospects of the Company with whom Executive had direct contact during Executive’s employment with the Company; or (ii)
solicit, attempt to solicit, cause the solicitation of, induce or influence, or seek to induce or influence, any employees of the
Company on the effective date of Executive’s termination with whom Executive had direct contact during Executive’s
employment with the Company (excluding any Employees who are no longer in the employ of the Company), for employment by any Person
other than the Company and/or to terminate their relationship with the Company.

 

    	-9-

    	 

    

 

(b)          Non-Disparagement.
Executive agrees that, during Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter, Executive shall not, directly or with
or through any other Person, directly or indirectly, make, issue, release, or authorize any written or oral statements to any third
Person that are derogatory or defamatory in nature with respect to the Company, or any of their respective members, directors,
officers, employees, subcontractors or agents.

 

(c)          Irreparable
Harm. The restrictive covenants contained in Section 9 and this Section 10 are, and shall be construed as constituting,
agreements independent of any other Sections of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions and covenants
contained in Section 9 and this Section 10 are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the Company’s legitimate business
and proprietary interests, and that any violation thereof would result in irreparable injury to the Company. Accordingly, if Executive
violates any of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 9 or this Section 10, then: (i) the Company shall be authorized
and entitled to obtain from any Court of competent jurisdiction preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as an equitable
accounting of all profits and benefits arising out of such violation, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other right and remedy to which the Company shall be entitled; and (ii) the Company’s obligation to make any payment
or provide any benefit under this Agreement, including without limitation any severance payment, shall cease immediately.

 

(d)          Enforceability.

 

(i)          Definition
of “Time Period”. For purposes of Section 10(a), “Time Period” shall mean and include the period beginning
as of the date of Executive’s employment with the Company and ending after the shorter of (A) the number of months after
Executive ceases to be employed by the Company (for whatever reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily) equal to the number
of full months that Executive was actually employed by the Company under this Agreement; or (B) 12 months after Executive ceases
to be employed by the Company (for whatever reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily), provided, however, that if a court of
competent jurisdiction determines that such 12-month period is unenforceable, then 6 months after Executive ceases to be employed
by the Company (for whatever reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily).

 

(ii)         Enforceability
of Covenants. Notwithstanding Section 10(d), should any court of competent jurisdiction determine that any of the covenants
in this Agreement are unreasonable as to duration or scope, the covenants shall be enforceable as provided herein with respect
to such duration or scope as the court determines to be reasonable.

 

(e)          Severability.
The remaining provisions of this Section 10 shall not otherwise be affected by a court’s actions described in this Section

       Intellectual Property.

 

(a)          
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Intellectual Property” shall mean and include discoveries, concepts,
ideas, and improvements to existing technology whether or not written down or otherwise converted to tangible form, patents, designs,
trademarks, trade names, goodwill, copyrights, all rights in inventions, designs, processes, formulae, notations, improvements,
know-how, plans, models, artistic works and all other forms of industrial or intellectual property (in each case in any part of
the world and whether or not registered or registerable and to the fullest extent thereof and for the full period thereof and all
extensions and renewals thereof) and all appplications for registration thereof and all rights and interests, present and future,
thereto and therein.

 

    	-10-

    	 

    

 

(b)          Employee
acknowledges that there is no Intellectual Property conceived, designed, originated, written, discovered, developed, learned, created,
reduced to practice, or made (collectively, “Develop”, “Develops”, and/or “Developed”,
as appropriate) by Executive, alone or with others, prior to execution of this Agreement that is not listed and described on Schedule
B to this Agreement. Executive shall promptly disclose in writing to the Company, and to the extent necessary assign to the
Company (and/or any successor, subsidiary or affiliate thereof, as determined by the Company) any and all Intellectual Property
that Executive Develops during Executive’s employment with the Company, whether such is Developed solely or jointly with
others, whether or not patentable or registerable under copyright or similar statutes, and whether or not such conception, design,
origination, writing, discovery, development, creation, reduction to practice, or making involves the use of the time, facilities,
equipment or personnel of the Company (and/or any successor, subsidiary or affiliate thereof) (“Inventions”).
Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all such Inventions are “works for hire” under applicable law, and all
right, title and interest therein shall belong to the Company (and/or any successor, subsidiary or affiliate thereof, as determined
by the Company). Executive further agrees to assign, and does hereby assign, to the Company (and/or any successor, subsidiary or
affiliate thereof, as determined by the Company) all right, title and interest in and to any and all such Inventions and agrees
to execute all documents deemed necessary or desirable by the Company in connection therewith, including patent and/or copyright
assignments, and to cooperate both during Executive’s employment and after the termination or expiration of the Agreement,
regardless of the reason, at the Company’s expense, in all further actions deemed necessary or desirable to confirm, register,
protect or enforce the rights therein of the Company (and/or any successor, subsidiary or affiliate thereof). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 11: (i) this Section 11 shall not apply to any Inventions of Executive that qualify fully
under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870, the provisions of which are set forth in Schedule A, and (ii)
the assignment obligations and rights do not relate to any Inventions Developed on Executive’s
own time using no resources of the Company (and/or any successor, subsidiary or affiliate thereof)
and which do not relate to the business, actual or reasonably contemplated, of the Company (and/or any successor, subsidiary
or affiliate thereof). Executive (a) represents and warrants that Executive has identified on Schedule
B all Intellectual Property, if any, Developed by Executive (alone or with others) in which Executive claims any ownership
or other right, and (b) agrees that any Intellectual Property that is not identified on Schedule B was not Developed before
commencement of Executive’s employment by the Company.

 

(c)          If
any Person makes any claim and/or files a lawsuit or other proceeding (collectively, “Proceedings”) against
the Company alleging any infringement of its Intellectual Property rights by reason of the use or exploitation of any Intelletual
Property rights Developed by Executive, then Company shall indemnify, defend and hold Executive harmless from such Proceedings;
provided, however that (i) Executive will promptly give the Company written notice of any such Proceedings; (ii) the Company will
give Executive all reasonable assistance in connection with the Proceedings at Company’s cost and expense.

purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any
time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or
business of the Company. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation or benefits pursuant to this
Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. None of the obligations of
Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other

be held in Costa Mesa, California in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect

HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THIS SECTION, WHICH DISCUSSES ARBITRATION. EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE
AGREES TO SUBMIT ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY,

Schedule A

California Labor Code
Section 2870

 

(a)  Any
provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights
in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time
without using the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information, except for those inventions that either:

from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being
