During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall be responsible for serving as the principal executive officer with management responsibility for overseeing the performance of the Company's other executive officers, and such other related duties and responsibilities as are customarily assigned to individuals serving in that position.  Executive will also serve as a member of the Company’s Operating Committee.  Executive agrees that during the Employment Period, Executive shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall devote as much of his skill, knowledge, commercial efforts and business time as the Board shall reasonably require for the conscientious and good faith performance of his duties and responsibilities to the best of his ability.

                        For the fiscal year of the Company ending April 30, 2016, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary of $1.00.

5.    Employee Benefits.
(d)    General. During the Employment Period, Executive will be eligible to participate in the employee and executive benefit plans and programs maintained by the Company from time-to-time in which named executive officers of the Company are eligible to participate, including, to the extent maintained by the Company, life, medical, dental, accidental and disability insurance plans, retirement plans, incentive stock award and stock compensation plans, and deferred compensation and savings plans, in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof as in effect from time-to-time.  Upon execution of this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s existing 401(k) plan, in accordance with its terms, and the Company shall match Executive’s contributions in accordance with the terms of that plan, provided that the matching does not violate any provisions of the 401(k) plan.

7.    Termination of Employment.  The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal 

3

uncertainties and risks in the event the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined herein) or is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined herein) and to encourage the Executive’s full attention and dedication to the Company currently, and to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements upon termination that ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive will be satisfied and that are competitive with those of other corporations, subject to the requirements and restrictions set forth in Section 8.  The Board has approved this Section 7 of the Agreement and authorized its inclusion in this Agreement on the Company’s behalf.  
(a)    Certain Definitions.  

(i)    “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or for Good Reason, the date on which the Company or the Executive notifies the other of such termination, as the case may be, and (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or disability, the date of death of the Executive or the effective date of the disability, as the case may be. 

(ii)    The “Effective Date” shall mean the date on which an event occurs that gives rise to Good Reason for termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.  

(b)    Termination of Employment.  

(i)    Good Reason.  Executive may terminate his or her employment during the Employment Period for Good Reason. In such event, the Company shall have the Termination Obligations in Section 7(d)(i) below. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following: 

(A)    the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent with the Executive’s position (including status, office(s), title, and reporting requirements), authority, duties, and responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer as provided in Section 2(b) above, or any other action by the Company that results in a diminution in that position (including status, office(s), title, and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer as provided in Section 2(b) above, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

(B)    any failure by the Company to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits that are in the aggregate at least commensurate in all material respects with those provided to Executive immediately preceding the Effective Date, other than an 

4

isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and that is remedied by the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

(C)    any change of the Executive’s primary place of business away from Virginia Beach, Virginia; or 

(D)    any material breach of this Agreement by the Company.    
  
(ii)    Without Good Reason.  Executive may terminate his or her employment during the Employment Period without Good Reason. In such event, the Company shall have the Termination Obligations in Section 7(d)(ii) below. 

(iii)     Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Cause. In such event, the Company shall have the Termination Obligations in Section 7(d)(ii) below. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of the following: 

(A)    the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially the Executive’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), if, within 30 days of receiving a written demand for substantial performance from the Board or the Chief Executive Officer that specifically identifies the manner in which the Executive has not substantially performed his duties, the Executive shall have failed to cure the non-performance or to take measures to cure the non-performance, or

(B)    the willful engaging by the Executive in gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.

(C)    the Executive’s indictment or conviction of a crime that (i) is predicated on either fraud or embezzlement, (ii) involves moral turpitude, or (iii) constitutes a felony under Virginia law;
For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.  Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or a committee thereof, or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.  The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership at a meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good 

5

faith opinion of the Board, the Executive is at fault for conduct described in subparagraph (A) or (B) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

(iv)    Without Cause.  The Company may terminate Executive without Cause. In such event, the Company shall have the Termination Obligations in Section 7(d)(i) below.

(v)    Death or Disability.  Executive’s employment shall automatically terminate on Executive’s death and may be terminated by the Company due to his Disability. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental disability that prevents Executive from performing his essential job functions as President and Chief Executive Officer for a continuous period of at least six (6) months. In such event, the Company shall have the Termination Obligations in Section 7(d)(ii) below.

(vi)      Employment-Related Death or Disability. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Employment-Related Death or Disability" shall mean the death of Executive or the Disability of Executive, to the extent Death occurred while Executive was traveling while performing Executive's duties with the Company, or the proximate cause of the Disability was directly related to the performance of Executive's duties with the Company.

(c)    Notice of Termination.  Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for or without Cause, or by the Executive for or without Good Reason, shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice that (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination is other than the date of receipt of the notice (which date shall be not more than thirty days after the giving of the notice).  The failure by the Company or the Executive to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance that contributes to a showing of Cause or Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting that fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

(d)    Company’s Termination Obligations. 

(i)    Good Reason, Without Cause or Employment-Related Death or Disability.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason, by the Company without Cause, or as a result of Executive's Employment-Related Death or Disability, then within 30 days after the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay to Executive a lump sum payment in cash equal to the aggregate of the following amounts under (A) and (B) and provide the other benefits provided below: 

(A)    Executive’s Base Salary through the Date of Termination, to the extent not previously paid, reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses 

6

incurred by Executive prior to the Date of Termination that are subject to reimbursement under Section 5 above and payment of accrued, but unused vacation time as of the Date of Termination (“Accrued Obligations”). 

(B)    an amount equal to the Executive’s monthly Base Salary as of the day prior to the Date of Termination multiplied by eighteen (18).

(C)    the portion of the Bonus for the fiscal year of the Company (ending on April 30) during which Executive was employed that includes the Date of Termination, that portion to equal the product (that product, the “Pro-Rata Bonus”) of the Bonus that would have been payable to Executive for that fiscal year had Executive remained employed for the entire fiscal year, determined based on the extent to which the Company achieves the performance goals for that year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of days in the fiscal year that precedes the date of termination and the denominator of which is equal to 365, payable in cash at the time otherwise provided under the terms of the Bonus program.  

(D)    to the extent any incentive stock awards, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, or any other form of incentive stock compensation granted Executive shall have not vested, they shall immediately become fully (100%) vested and exercisable and shall be paid in accordance with their terms.

(E)    continued coverage at the Company’s expense under the Company’s medical, dental, life insurance and disability policies or arrangements with respect to Executive and any of his dependents who were covered under those Company plans on the day prior to the Date of Termination for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive comparable medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during the applicable period of eligibility provided that the costs of obtaining those medical and other welfare benefits is less than the cost of those benefits to Executive immediately prior to the Date of Termination, and provided further that continued participation shall not be allowed if the Company determines that the payment would be considered discriminatory under applicable law.

(F)    to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or that the Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and/or the Company’s Affiliates. 

(ii)    Without Good Reason, With Cause, Death or Disability (other than Employment-Related Death or Disability).  If Executive’s employment should terminate on his death, if the Company should terminate his employment for Cause or due to his Disability, or if he should terminate his employment without Good Reason during the Employment Period, other than as a consequence of Employment-Related Death or Disability, the Company shall pay to 

7

Executive (or to his estate in the event of his death) the Accrued Obligations within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination. In addition, if Executive’s employment should terminate on his death or because of his Disability during the Employment Period (other than as a consequence of Employment-Related Death or Disability), the Company shall pay to Executive (or to his estate in the event of his death) the Pro-Rata Bonus, if any, in one lump sum payment on the Bonus Payment Date for the fiscal year of the Company that includes the Date of Termination.   

(e)     Non-exclusivity of Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect the rights that the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company.  Amounts that are vested benefits or that the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with that plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

(f)    Full Settlement.  The Company’s obligations to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform the Company’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action that the Company may have against Executive or others.  In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment.  The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses that the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guaranty of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

(g)    Limitation on Benefits.  It is the intention of the parties that payments to be made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement and under any other plan, agreement or arrangement maintained by the Company shall not constitute "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and any regulations thereunder.  If the independent accountants serving as auditors for the Company on the Effective Date (or any other accounting firm designated by the Company) determine 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) would be nondeductible by the Company under Section 280G of the Code (and any successor provision) as amended from time to time, then the amounts payable or distributable under this Agreement will be reduced to the maximum amount that may be paid or distributed without causing such payments or distributions to be nondeductible.  The determination shall take into account (a) whether the 

8

payments or distributions are "parachute payments" under Section 280G, (b) the amount of payments and distributions under this Agreement or any other plan, agreement or arrangement that constitute reasonable compensation, and (c) the present value of the payments and distributions determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations in effect from time to time.  In the event any payments or benefits are to be reduced, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the payments to the Executive by first reducing or eliminating those payments or benefits that are payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating those payments that are not payable in cash, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits that are to be paid or provided the farthest in time from the date of determination.  Any reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.

(h)    Successors.  

(i)    This Section 7 of the Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Holding Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  This Section 7 of the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.

(ii)    This Section 7 of the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Company’s successors and assigns.

(iii)    The Company will require any Successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  

8.    Code Section 409A Compliance
(a)    The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable guidance thereunder (“Code Section 409A”) or comply with an exemption from the application of Code Section 409A and, accordingly, all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A. 
(b)    Neither the Executive nor the Company shall take any action to accelerate or delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in any matter that would not be in compliance with Code Section 409A.
(c)    A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the form or timing of payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless the termination is also a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) and, for purposes of 

9

any such provision of this Agreement under which (and to the extent) deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A is paid, references to a “termination” or “termination of employment” or like references shall mean separation from service.  If the Executive is deemed on the date of separation from service with the Company to be a “specified employee”, within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B) and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology, then with regard to any payment or benefit that is required to be delayed in compliance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), the payment or benefit shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six- month period measured from the date of the Executive’s separation from service or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death.  In the case of benefits required to be delayed under Code Section 409A, however, the Executive may pay the cost of benefit coverage, and thereby obtain benefits, during that six month delay period and then be reimbursed by the Company thereafter when delayed payments are made pursuant to the next sentence.  On the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, on the date of the Executive’s death, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 8(c) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of the delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.
(d)    With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits subject to Code Section 409A, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Code Section 105(b) solely because those expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect. All reimbursements shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policies but in no event later than the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the related expense is incurred.
(e)    If under this Agreement, an amount is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment.
(f)    When, if ever, a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within ten (10) days following the date of termination”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.
(g)    Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall not be liable to the Executive if any payment or benefit which is to be provided pursuant to this Agreement and that is considered deferred compensation subject to Code Section 

10

409A otherwise fails to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Code Section 409A.
9.    Restrictive Covenants. The Company and Executive agree that Executive will have a prominent role in the management of the business, and the development of the goodwill of the Company and will have access to and become familiar with or exposed to Confidential Information (as that term is defined below), in particular, trade secrets, proprietary information, and other valuable business information of the Company pertaining to the Company’s specialty business involving income tax preparation, the electronic filing of income tax returns, refund anticipation loans, or franchising of any of these activities (the “Company’s Business”).  Executive agrees that Executive could cause harm to the Company if he solicited the Company’s employees, customers, or business counterparties upon the termination of Executive’s employment away from the Company , or misappropriated or divulged the Company’s Confidential Information; and that as such, the Company has legitimate business interests in protecting its goodwill and Confidential Information; and, as such, these legitimate business interests justify the following restrictive covenants:
(a)    Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Covenant.
(i)    Executive acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement, including all addendums and attachments hereto, are confidential. Except as required by law or the requirements of any stock exchange, Executive agrees not to disclose any information contained in this Agreement to anyone, other than to Executive’s lawyer, financial advisor or immediate family members. If Executive discloses any Information contained in this Agreement to his lawyer, financial advisor or immediate family members as permitted herein, Executive agrees to immediately tell each such individual that he or she must abide by the confidentiality restrictions contained herein and keep such information confidential as well.
(ii)    Executive agrees that during his employment with the Company and thereafter, Executive will not, directly or indirectly (A) disclose any Confidential Information to any Person (other than, only with respect to the period that Executive is employed by the Company, to an employee or outside advisor of the Company who requires such information to perform his or her duties for the Company), or (B) use any Confidential Information for Executive’s own benefit or the benefit of any third party. “Confidential Information” includes the Company’s marketing plans, business plans, financial information and records, operation methods, personnel information, computer databases and proprietary software programs, drawings, designs, information regarding product development, customer lists, or other commercial or business information and any other information not available to the public generally. The foregoing obligation shall not apply to any Confidential Information that has been previously disclosed to the public, is in the public domain (other than by reason of a breach of Executive’s obligations to hold the Confidential Information confidential), or is otherwise known by Executive prior to his employment under this Agreement. In particular, Confidential Information will not include any knowledge of the Executive with respect to the general business of the Company.  If Executive is required or requested by a court or governmental agency to disclose Confidential Information, Executive must notify the Board of that disclosure obligation 

11

or request no later than three (3) business days after Executive learns of the obligation or request, and permit the Company to take all lawful steps it deems appropriate to prevent or limit the required disclosure.
(b)    Non-Competition Covenant.  
(i)    Executive agrees that during his employment with the Company, Executive shall devote as much of his skill, knowledge, commercial efforts and business time as the Board shall reasonably require to the conscientious and good faith performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company to the best of his ability.  Accordingly, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, be employed by, render services for, engage in business with or serve as an agent or consultant to any Person other than the Company, except for service on the boards of directors (or similar governing bodies) of not more than three (3) other for-profit enterprises).
(ii)    Executive further agrees that for a period of eighteen (18) months following the termination of his employment with the Company (for any reason), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, within a twenty-five (25) mile radius of any Liberty Tax Service office (or other retail tax office operated by the Holding Company, the Company, any of their Subsidiaries, or any of their franchisees) in the United States or Canada that exists as of the effective date of termination (whether owned or franchised), provide services as an employee, consultant, or independent contractor, in the same or substantially similar capacity as that in which Executive serves the Company at the time of his termination, to any company that is engaged in, and is competitive with, the Company’s Business. 
(iii)    Executive shall be permitted to hold a five percent (5%) or less interest in the equity or debt securities of any publicly traded company. 
(c)    Non-Solicitation of Employees and Franchisees. During the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and for the eighteen (18) month period following the termination of his employment (for any reason), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, by himself or through any third party, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other Person or entity, (i) solicit or induce or endeavor to solicit or induce, divert, employ or retain, (ii) interfere with, or attempt to establish a business relationship of a nature that is competitive with the Company’s Business with any person that is or was (during the last ninety (90) days of Executive’s employment with the Company ) an employee or franchisee of the Company (or other retail tax office operated by the Holding Company, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, or any of the Company’s franchisees), or a relative or Affiliate of a franchisee, without the express written permission of the Company.
(d)    Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and for the eighteen (18) month period following the termination of his employment (for any reason), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, by himself or through any third party, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other Person or entity, (i) solicit or induce or endeavor to solicit or induce, divert, employ or retain, (ii) interfere with, or (iii) attempt to establish a business relationship of a nature that is competitive with the

10.    Work Product. Executive agrees that all of Executive’s work product (created solely or jointly with others, and including any intellectual property or moral rights in such work product), given, disclosed, created, developed or prepared in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company (“Work Product”) shall exclusively vest in and be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and shall constitute “work made for hire” (as that term is defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101) with the Company being the person for whom the work was prepared. In the event that any Work Product is deemed not to be a “work made for hire” or does not vest by operation of law in the Company, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys to the Company, exclusively and perpetually, all right, title and interest that Executive may have or acquire in and to Work Product throughout the world, including without limitation any copyrights and patents, and the right to secure registrations, renewals, reissues, and extensions thereof. The Company or its designees shall have the exclusive right to make full and complete use of, and make changes to all Work Product without restrictions or liabilities of any kind, and Executive shall not have the right to use any such materials, other than within the legitimate scope and purpose of Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company the creation or existence of any Work Product and shall take whatever additional lawful action may be necessary, and sign whatever documents the Company may require, in order to secure and vest in the Company, or its designees all right, title and interest in and to all Work Product and any intellectual property rights therein (including full cooperation in support of any Company applications for patents and copyright or trademark registrations).

During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall be governed by and be subject to, and Executive hereby agrees to comply with, all Company policies, procedures, codes, rules and regulations applicable to all employees and to executive officers of the Company , as they may be amended from time to time in the Company’s  sole discretion (collectively, the “Policies”) provided however that

13

 such policies will be reasonably consistent with the policies of other comparable companies in terms of revenue, industry and/or market capitalization. 
13.    Injunctive Relief with Respect to Covenants.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any material breach by Executive of any of section of this Agreement that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Company, and, without prejudice to any other legal or equitable rights and remedies otherwise available to the Company, Executive agrees to the granting of injunctive relief in the Company’s favor in connection with any such breach or violation without proof of irreparable harm.   
14.    Assumption of Agreement. The Company shall require any Successor thereto, by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to compensation from the Company  in the same amount and on the same terms as Executive would be entitled hereunder if the Company had terminated Executive’s employment without Cause as described in Section 7, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.
15.    Indemnification. The Company agrees both during and after the Employment Period to indemnify Executive to the fullest extent permitted by the respective Certificates of Incorporation, Bylaws and other organizational documents of the entities constituting the Company (including payment of expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding) against actions or inactions of Executive during the Employment Period as an officer, director or employee of the Company, or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates or as a fiduciary of any benefit plan of any of the foregoing. The Company also agrees to provide Executive with Directors and Officers insurance coverage both during and, with regard to matters occurring during the Employment Period, after the Employment Period. That coverage shall be at a level at least equal to the level being maintained at the time for the then current officers and directors or, if then being maintained at a higher level with regard to any prior period activities for officers or directors during the prior period, the higher amount with regard to Executive’s activities during the prior period.  Executive shall not be indemnified by the Company with regard to any liability for repayment of bonuses and/or profits as required under Section 6.
16.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. All prior correspondence and proposals (including but not limited to summaries of proposed terms) and all prior promises, representations, understandings, arrangements and agreements relating to such subject matter (including but not limited to those made to or with Executive by any other person and those contained in any prior employment, consulting or similar agreement entered into by Executive and the Company or any predecessor thereto or Affiliate thereof) are merged herein and superseded hereby.

14

Company or rights to acquire securities or debt of the Company;

 

(iv)
will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability by reason of being such holders; and

before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates that
would affect the execution by the Company or the complete and timely performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents. Except as disclosed in the Reports, there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, basis for or threatened
action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over

    	9

    	 

    

 

(h)
No Market Manipulation. The Company and its Affiliates have not taken, and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action
designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common

Defaults. The Company is not in violation of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws. The Company is (i) not in default

rule or regulation of any governmental authority which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(j)
No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has
directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security of the Company nor solicited any offers to buy any security of
the Company under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with
prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions. No prior offering
will impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.
Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will take any action or suffer any inaction or conduct any offering other than the
transactions contemplated hereby that may be integrated with the offer or issuance of the Securities or that would impair the
exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.

the 1933 Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

 

(l)
Dilution. The Company’s executive officers and directors understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby
and recognize that the issuance of the Securities will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders
of the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company. The board of directors of the Company has concluded,
in its good faith business judgment, that the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the Company. The Company
specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Series A Preferred and the
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance
may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company or parties entitled to receive equity of the Company.

No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no material disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably
anticipated by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers previously and presently employed by
the Company, including, but not limited to, disputes or conflicts over payment owed to such accountants and lawyers, nor have
there been any such disagreements during the two years prior to the Closing Date.

the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder applicable to such Company SEC Documents and did not, at the time it was filed (or, if amended, at
the time (and taking into account the content) of such amendment), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date hereof, there are no outstanding or unresolved comments
in comment letters from the Commission staff with respect to any of the Company SEC Documents. As of the date hereof, none of
the Company SEC Documents is the subject of ongoing Commission review, outstanding Commission comment or outstanding Commission

accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except

Commission for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q); and (iii) fairly presented in all material respects the consolidated financial
position of the Company at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of the Company’s operations and cash
flows for the periods indicated therein, subject, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, to normal and year-end
audit adjustments as permitted by GAAP and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission. As of the date hereof, RRBB

or auditing scope or procedure;

(iii)
No Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any liability, indebtedness or obligation
of any kind (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, matured, unmatured or otherwise, and whether or not required to be recorded
or reflected on a balance sheet under GAAP) (“Liability”) except for Liabilities that (a) are reflected or
recorded on the Company’s most recent balance sheet included in the Company SEC Documents (including in the notes thereto
but only to the extent it is reasonably apparent that the disclosure in such notes is of a Liability required to be reflected
on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP) contained in the Company SEC Documents or (b) are current Liabilities (within
the meaning of GAAP) which were incurred since the date of such balance sheet in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice;

Document or other agreement delivered in connection herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the Subscriber’s
subscription.

 

(l)
Independent Nature of Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Subscriber under the Transaction
Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any
way for the performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that
each Subscriber has represented that the decision of each Subscriber to purchase Securities has been made by such Subscriber independently
of any other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations,
assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may
have been made or given by any other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber or any
of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from
any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Subscribers as a partnership,
an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting
in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company
acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such
procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting
in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

ANNEX
A –REGISTRATION RIGHTS

  

1.1 Definitions.
As used in this Annex, the following terms shall have the following meanings.

 

(a)
The term “Holder” shall mean any person owning or having the right to acquire Registrable Securities (as defined
below) or any permitted transferee of a Holder.

 

(b)
The terms “register,” “registered” and “registration” refer to a registration
effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration
or order of effectiveness of such registration statement or document.

 

(c)
The term “Registrable Securities” shall mean the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares, and Dividend Shares provided,
however, that securities shall only be treated as Registrable Securities if and only for so long as they (A) have not been
disposed of pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the SEC; (B) have not been sold in a transaction exempt
from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act so that all transfer restrictions and restrictive
legends with respect thereto are removed upon the consummation of such sale; (C) are held by a Holder or a permitted transferee
of a Holder pursuant to Section 1.8; and (D) may not be disposed of under Rule 144 under the Securities Act without restriction.

 

(d)
The term “SEC Guidance” means (i) any publicly-available written or oral guidance, requirements or notice of
the staff of the SEC, and (ii) the Securities Act.

 

(e)
The term “Rule 415” means Rule 415 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, as such Rule may
be amended or interpreted from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC having substantially
the same purpose and effect as such Rule.

 

1.2 Resale
Registration Statement. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement (the
“Registration Statement”), ninety (90) days after the closing of the Maximum Amount under this Offering (the
“Filing Date”), covering the resale of all or such portion of the Registrable Securities as permitted by SEC
Guidance, for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement filed pursuant to
this Section 1.2 of Annex A shall be on Form S-1, except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the
Registrable Securities on Form S-1, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form.

 

    	23

    	 

    

 

1.3 Registration
Procedures. Whenever required herein to include Registrable Securities in a Company registration statement, the Company shall,
as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

1.3.1
Use its best efforts to (i) cause such registration statement to become effective, and (ii) cause such registration statement
to remain effective until the earliest to occur of (A) such date as the sellers of Registrable Securities (the “Selling
Holders”) have completed the distribution described in the registration statement and (B) such time that all of such
Registrable Securities are no longer, by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, required to be registered for the sale thereof
by such Holders. The Company will also use its commercially best efforts to, during the period that such registration statement
is required to be maintained hereunder, file such post-effective amendments and supplements thereto as may be required by the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or otherwise to ensure that the registration statement does not contain
any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, however, that if applicable
rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permits, in lieu of filing a post-effective
amendment that (i) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (ii) reflects facts or events
representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the Company may incorporate
by reference information required to be included in (i) and (ii) above to the extent such information is contained in periodic
reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
in the registration statement.

 

1.3.2
Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

 

1.3.3
Furnish to the Selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus as amended or supplemented
from time to time, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

 

1.3.4
Use commercially best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
federal or state securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Selling Holders; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business
or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

 

1.3.5
In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement,
in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Selling Holder participating in such underwriting
shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

 

    	24

    	 

    

 

1.3.6
Cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation service on
which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted.

 

1.3.7
Provide a transfer agent for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and CUSIP number for all such Registrable
Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

 

1.3.8
Cooperate with the Selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates will not bear any restrictive legends;
and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters,
if any, shall request at least two business days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities to the underwriters. 

 

1.3.9
Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

1.4 Furnish
Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to take any action pursuant to Annex A with
respect to the Registrable Securities of any Selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by the Holder, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall
be reasonably required by the Company to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

 

1.5 Registration
Expenses. The Company shall bear and pay all registration expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or
qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to registration pursuant to Section 1.2 of Annex A for each Holder,
but excluding (i) legal expenses of the Holders and (ii) underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities.

 

1.6 No
Injunction. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration
as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Annex A.

 

    	25

    	 

    

 

1.7 Indemnification.
In the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement:

 

1.7.1
To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the
Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject
under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):
(i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and
the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7(a) of Annex A shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder,
underwriter or controlling person.

 

1.7.2
To the extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any
other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder,
against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject,
under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with
such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended
to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) of Annex A, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section
1.7(b) of Annex A shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further,
that, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 1.7(b) of Annex A exceed the lesser of the cash value of the (i)
net proceeds from the Offering received by such Holder or (ii) such Holder’s investment pursuant to this Agreement as set
forth on the signature page attached hereto.

 

    	26

    	 

    

 

1.7.3
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.7 of Annex A of notice of the commencement of any
action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any indemnifying party under this Section 1.7 of Annex A, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement
thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying
party and approved by the indemnified party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that an indemnified
party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right
to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability
to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.7
of Annex A, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that
it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.7 of Annex A.

 

1.7.4
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 of Annex A is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then
the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

1.7.5
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in an underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions
in such underwriting agreement shall control.

 

1.7.6
The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.8 of Annex A shall survive the completion of the Offering.

 

1.8 Permitted
Transferees. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company may
be assigned in full by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of its Registrable Securities, to (a) any partner
or retired partner of a Holder that is a partnership, or (b) any family member or trust for the benefit of any individual Holder,
provided that (i) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company; (ii) such transferee agrees to comply with the terms
and provisions of this Agreement; (iii) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement; and (iv) such transfer is
otherwise effected in accordance with applicable securities laws. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 1.8 of Annex
A, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other
person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.
