This CONSULTING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”)
is made and entered into September 13, 2016 by and between Misonix, Inc., (the “Company“), and Joseph Dwyer,
doing business as Dwyer Holdings LLC, residing at 3 Cordwood Court, East Northport, NY 11731 (“Consultant”).

 

In consideration of the
mutual premises herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.          Consulting
Services.

 

1.1.          Services.
During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall provide consulting services to the Company as set forth in Schedule 1
hereto (the “Consulting Services”). The Consultant will perform the Consulting Services faithfully, diligently
and to the best of the Consultant’s skill and ability.

 

1.2           Consulting
Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof and shall continue for one year (the “Term”),
unless terminated prior thereto pursuant to Section 3 below. This agreement will then automatically renew for successive one month
periods (each a “Renewal Term”). Any Renewal Term may be terminated anytime pursuant to Section 3 below.

 

1.3          Independent
Contractor. Consultant and Company acknowledge and agree that the relationship hereunder created is one of an independent contractor
and not one of employment. Consultant shall at all times during the Consulting Term act as an independent contractor and nothing
hereunder shall be construed to be inconsistent with this relationship or status or create or imply a relationship of employer-employee
between the Company and Consultant. Consultant shall not hold himself out to third parties as an employee of Company, and shall
have no authority to bind or commit Company, legally or otherwise. The Consultant shall not be entitled to any benefits paid by
the Company to its employees. The Consultant shall be solely responsible for any tax consequences applicable to him by reason of
this Agreement and the relationship established hereunder, and the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any federal,
state or local taxes or contributions imposed under any employment insurance, social security, income tax or other tax law or regulation
with respect to the Consultant’s performance of consulting services hereunder. Company and Consultant shall report any and
all payments made by Company pursuant to this Agreement to the appropriate governmental agencies in a manner consistent with Consultant's
status as an independent contractor.

 

2.           Compensation;
Expenses. The Company shall pay Consultant the Payment as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto. The Company will also reimburse
Consultant for all reasonable travel or other expenses related to the fulfillment of services hereunder, in accordance with the
Company’s business travel and expense policy.

 

3.           Termination.

 

3.1.          Either
party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other at any time upon 5 days written notice. Notwithstanding, the
Company shall be obligated to compensate Consultant for the first two months of this Agreement at the rate identified in Schedule
1. In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Company shall not be responsible to make any further payment of
any kind to Consultant except for payment of fees earned prior to the date of termination. Fees earned on a fixed fee basis shall
be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

3.2           This
Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of Consultant's death.

 

4.          Confidentiality.
Consultant understands that Consultant's work as a consultant of the Company creates a relationship of trust and confidence between
Consultant and the Company. During and after the Term of this Agreement, Consultant will not use or disclose or allow anyone else
to use or disclose any "Confidential Information" (as defined below) relating to the Company, its subsidiaries,
its products, services, suppliers or customers except (i) as may be necessary in the performance of Consultant's work for the Company
which use or disclosure shall be solely for the benefit of the Company in connection with the Company’s business and in accordance
with the Company’s business practices and employee policies or (ii) as may be specifically authorized in advance by appropriate
officers of the Company. "Confidential Information" shall include, but shall not be limited to, information consisting
of research and development, patents, trademarks and copyrights and applications thereto, technical information, computer programs,
software, methodologies, innovations, software tools, know-how, knowledge, designs, drawings, specifications, concepts, data, reports,
processes, techniques, documentation, pricing, marketing plans, customer and prospect lists, trade secrets, financial information,
salaries, business affairs, suppliers, profits, markets, sales strategies, forecasts, employee information and any other information
not available to the general public, whether written or oral, which Consultant knows or has reason to know the Company or its subsidiaries
would like to treat as confidential for any purpose, such as maintaining a competitive advantage or avoiding undesirable publicity.
Consultant will keep Confidential Information secret and will not allow any unauthorized use of the same, whether or not any document
containing it is marked as confidential. These restrictions, however, will not apply to Confidential Information that has become
known to the public generally through no fault or breach of Consultant's or that the Company regularly gives to third parties without
restriction on use or disclosure. Consultant further understands and acknowledges that (a) the Confidential Information is the
property of the Company, constitutes a major asset of the Company and is crucial to the successful operation of the Company's business;
(b) the use, misappropriation or disclosure of the Confidential Information would constitute a breach of trust and could cause
irreparable injury to the Company; and (c) it is essential to the protection of the Company's goodwill and to the maintenance of
the Company's competitive position that the Confidential Information be kept secret.

 

5.          Return
of Company Property. Promptly upon the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Agreement, and earlier if requested
by the Company at any time, Consultant shall deliver to the Company (and will not keep in Consultant’s possession or deliver
to anyone else) all Confidential Information and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence,
specifications, materials, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by Consultant
as part of or in connection with the Consulting Services or otherwise belonging to the Company.

extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Consultant from and against all claims and expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to the services provided under this agreement. The Company agrees to
provide directors and officers liability insurance, effecting with the execution of this Agreement, in the same form and amounts
as available to other directors and officers of the Company.
