all documents and records (including any financial statements and notes thereto) of Flagship or the Parent Company that reasonably related
to the calculation of any element of the Executive’s compensation hereunder, including any Management Bonuses, it being agreed that
any such information provided to the Executive or any of his legal, accounting or financial representatives shall be ‘Flagship/Parent
Company Confidential Information subject to the restrictions on use and disclosure set forth in Section 5. If any dispute arises
regarding any Management Bonus, Special Post-Closing Management Bonus, the amount of any termination or other payments made under Section
4(a), or any other economic or financial terms of this Agreement that has not been resolved by the Parties within fifteen (15) days,
the Parties shall jointly engage the Independent Accountants under the Merger Agreement
the “Independent Accountants”)
and submit the disputed items to the Independent Accountants for resolution and the time period that would otherwise apply for payment
thereof under this Agreement shall be delayed until such time as such resolution occurs. The Independent Accountants shall act as experts
and not arbiters and shall determine only those items being disputed by the Parties as of the time of engagement. All Parties shall reasonably
cooperate, at their own cost and expense, with the Independent Accountants and the Independent Accountants shall have access to all records
and documents, including financial statements, that the Independent Accountants determine are reasonably required or desired to perform
their duties under this Section 3(h). The Independent Accountants shall, within thirty (30) days after their engagement, provide
to the Parties a written report (the “Independent Accountant’s Report”) setting forth their resolution of the
disputed items, which shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants incurred in connection
with the resolution of any dispute pursuant to this Section 3(h) shall be borne by Flagship and the Parent Company, on the one
hand, or by the Executive, on the other hand, based on whether the Independent Accountants’ resolution of the disputed items, as
set forth in the Independent Accountant’s Report, is in accordance with the position taken by the Executive, on the one hand, or
by Flagship and the Parent Company, on the other hand (as applicable), with such fees and expenses to be paid by Flagship and the Parent
Company, on the one hand, or the Executive, on the other hand, to the Independent Accountants within thirty (30) days after the Independent
Accountants’ resolution of the disputed items. For further clarity: (i) if the Executive disputes positions taken by Flagship and
the Parent Company and the Independent Accountants agree with the positions taken by Flagship and the Parent Company, rather than agreeing
with the positions taken by the Executive, then the Independent Accountants’ fees and expenses will be paid by the Executive, and
(ii) conversely, if Flagship and the Parent Company dispute positions taken by the Executive and the Independent Accountants agree with
the positions taken by the Executive, rather than agreeing with the positions taken by Flagship and the Parent Company, then the Independent
Accountants’ fees and expenses will be paid by Flagship and the Parent Company.

with Flagship and for two (2) years after the expiration or termination of the Term for any reason (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
any early termination of the Term pursuant to Section 4)) (the “Restricted Period”). However, in the event of
a breach by the Executive of any of the covenants in this Section 7, the term of the Restricted Period with respect to such covenant
will be extended by the period of the duration of such breach.

(c)                           
 The Executive acknowledges and agrees that his compliance with Sections 5, 6 and 7
of this Agreement is an integral part of the consideration to be received by Flagship and is necessary to protect the equity value, business
and goodwill and other proprietary interests of the Flagship/Parent Company Affiliates and the relevant public policy and legal aspects
of such provisions have been discussed with him and that every effort has been made to limit the restrictions placed upon Executive to
those that are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Flagship/Parent Company Affiliates. The Executive acknowledges
that, based upon his education, experience, and training, Sections 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement will not prevent
the Executive from earning a livelihood and supporting the Executive and his family during the relevant time period.

 

(d)                          
If any of the restrictions set forth in Section 5, 6 or 7 of this Agreement
is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time
or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, or is otherwise illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason,
such court is hereby expressly authorized to modify this Agreement or to interpret this Agreement to extend only over the maximum period
of time, range of activities, or geographic areas as to which it may be legal, valid and enforceable and, if this Agreement cannot be
so modified or interpreted, such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed excised from this Agreement. The illegality,
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement.

9.                     
Section 409A. The Executive and Flagship acknowledge
that each of the payments and benefits promised to Executive under this Agreement must either comply with the requirements of Section
409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), and the regulations thereunder or qualify for an exception from compliance. To that
end, the Executive and Flagship agree that the severance payments described in Section 4 are intended to be excepted from compliance
with Section 409A as a short-term deferral pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). In the case of a payment that is not
excepted from compliance with Section 409A, and that is not otherwise designated to be paid immediately upon a permissible payment event
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(a), the payment shall not be made prior to, and shall, if necessary, be deferred
to and paid on the later of the date sixty (60) days after the Executive’s earliest separation from service (within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) and, if the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) of Flagship on the date of his separation from service, the first day of the seventh month following the
Executive’s separation from service. Furthermore, this Agreement shall be construed and administered in such manner as shall be
necessary to effect compliance with Section 409A.

 

		10.	General Provisions.

 

(A) THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT WOULD RESULT
IN APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

(b)   
The Parties acknowledge the unique nature of services to be provided by the Executive under this
Agreement, the high degree of responsibility borne by him and the personal nature of his relationship to Flagship’s business and
customers. Therefore, the Parties agree that Executive may not assign this Agreement or any of his rights or responsibilities hereunder
without the prior written consent of Flagship. Similarly, Flagship may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or responsibilities
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Executive except to another entity that survives a merger, acquisition or consolidation
with Flagship or which otherwise succeeds to all or substantially all of Flagship’s assets or business. Any purported assignment
in violation hereof is void.

 

(c)   
The Parties each acknowledge that a breach by the other Party of this Agreement will result in irreparable
and continuing damage to the other Party for which the remedies at law will be inadequate, and agrees that, in the event of any breach
by the other Party of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief and to have this Agreement specifically performed, which shall be in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any other relief to which such Party shall be entitled.

 

    12

     

    

 

 

(d)   
This Agreement represents the sole agreement of the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof

COUNTY, NEW YORK, AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH JURISDICTION OR VENUE. THE PARTIES EACH CONSENT TO AND AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION
OF ANY OF THE COURTS SPECIFIED ABOVE AND AGREE TO ACCEPT SERVICE OF PROCESS TO VEST PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THEM IN ANY OF THESE COURTS.

 

(g)   
EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

 

(h)   
No purported waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be legally effective unless upon the
Party providing such waiver has duly executed and delivered to the other Party a written instrument which states that it constitutes a
waiver of one or more provisions of this Agreement and specifies the provision(s) that are being waived. Failure by any Party to pursue
remedies or assert rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as waiver of that Party’s rights or remedies, nor shall a
Party’s failure to demand strict compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement prohibit or estop that Party from insisting
upon strict compliance in the future.

 

(i)   
This Agreement shall bind the Parties’ respective heirs, successors, representatives and permitted
assigns.

 

(j)   
No Person other than Parties and their respective heirs, successors, representatives and permitted
assigns of the parties is a party to, or shall otherwise have any rights with respect to, this Agreement, other than Flagship/Parent Company
Affiliates, which shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
